Chapter 403. Great Changes in the World (East China Sea Chapter)
East China Sea, a seaside part of the island where the Kingdom of Goa is located.
As the setting sun shines and the breeze dawns, windmills in twos and threes are scattered in various places in the small village, turning quietly in the breeze.
The residents in the village gathered together, talking and laughing over a newspaper and several reward notices.
Near the junction of the forest and the village near Gorbo Mountain, the figures of two teenagers kept jumping closer and closer.
"Hahaha, Luffy, I got here first again this time."
"How can we fix it! I will never lose next time!"
Fifteen-year-old Ace has grown into a handsome boy, with a strong body and richer masculinity.
Twelve-year-old Luffy is still like a child, with a thin and frail body, but he contains a lot of strength.
The steel wristbands that bound the two people's limbs had fallen off.
Ace was forced to twist it off with brute force. He wanted to live with Sabo's dream and become the freest man in the sea, and he was absolutely unwilling to be restrained by this steel wristband.
In order to unscrew the steel wrist guards from his body, Ace trained hard on his strength, especially the grip and grasping strength in his hands.
Now he has even developed a set of physical skills called 'Dragon Claw Fist'.
In order to concentrate on practicing physical skills, he has given up his original weapon "steel pipe".
As for Luffy... he used the elasticity of the rubber fruit to forcefully tear out his limbs. He took off the four steel wrist guards earlier than Ace.
"Hey! Are Ace and Luffy here?"
"Quick, quick, come and see this."
"Kazan is your master, right?"
The villagers saw Ace and Luffy arriving and directly extended their hands to wave them over.
The two young men heard Kazan's name, looked at each other, and then walked over curiously.
"Is this...hey, hey? Has Kazan done something terrible?"
"Eh? Ace, is what Kazan did great?"
"Of course! Didn't you read what I said above? In order to kill Kazan, the navy directly destroyed an island, but Kazan still ran away, and he even injured the old man!"
"Nani~~Grandpa?"
After listening to Ace's words, Luffy opened his mouth wide and stuck out his tongue, his eyes bulging in shock.
Luffy didn't have much idea about destroying an island, but he didn't dare to think about injuring his grandfather.
"I didn't expect that this guy is already so strong, well... I'm not surprised."
Ace held the newspaper with both hands and said unbelievable words, but there was no surprise on his face.
"Ah hahaha! It's Kazan after all, he's very strong."
Luffy pressed the straw hat on his head and grinned. The guy turned his head and forgot about the shock just now.
After all, he remembered that Kazan told him, 'Even if Garp sees me, he will still be afraid of three points.';
"Ace, do you know what Justice Island represents?"
The village chief Slap next to him looked at Ace's appearance and asked tentatively.
"I don't know, it's just an island anyway?"
Ace had no idea what Kazan's use of the Demon-Slaying Order to destroy Judiciary Island meant. He only knew that Kazan was very powerful now.
Slap hesitated and did not tell Ace. He instinctively felt that if he told Ace, Ace and Luffy would admire Kazan even more.
Although Kazan is a nice person, he is still a pirate after all...
Slap's idea is the same as Garp's, he wants the two teenagers to become righteous marines.
"Ace, look, Kazan's reward order."
"This should be... rising again."
"Damn it, Kazan is so strong! He can actually hurt grandpa."
"Luffy, in order to become the Pirate King, we must be stronger than him! Sooner or later we will defeat him!"
"Yeah! I will definitely become the Pirate King!"
"Huh? Of course it's me who becomes the Pirate King! Baga!"
...
Kingdom of Goa, Gaozhen.
A young man with yellow curly hair wearing a black cloak, a black top hat, holding a steel pipe in his hand, and a ring on his finger was staring at the palace in the distance with cold eyes.
A newspaper suddenly fell from the sky and floated past his eyes.
The blood-red picture above attracted his attention, and his head suddenly hurt. At this moment, he even forgot what he was here for.
Swish.
Fifteen-year-old Sabo reached out and pinched the newspaper in front of him, reading a piece of news on it.
"Would anyone really do such a thing? Long."
As soon as Sabo finished speaking, a man wearing a green robe and a strange tattoo on his face suddenly appeared next to him.
"There will never be a shortage of idiots like this in the world who dare to stand up, but...he is stronger than other idiots."
"...I don't think this man is an idiot."
Sabo murmured. He thought this man looked familiar, but if he thought about it carefully, his head would hurt.
He no longer persisted because the next thing was very important and he couldn't be distracted.
Kazan.
Sabo raised his hand and looked at the ring on his finger. He wrote down the name. He had a hunch that this man must be related to his past.
"This man...although I have never met him, my intuition tells me that the monster pirate group he leads will change the future of this world."
"Because of the Justice Island incident?"
"No, because of those eyes and Nico Robin."
Long lowered his head and glanced at the man with blood-red pupils on the newspaper, standing on the mast, then slowly withdrew his eyes and looked at the Goa Kingdom Palace in the distance:
"Now the whole world is like a barrel of explosives, and the Judiciary Island incident is like a fuse. Soon, the pattern of this world will definitely change greatly. Whether it is pirates, the navy or the world government, they will definitely do it for
To adapt to the new situation and make changes, our revolutionary army also has to do something."
"The name of the new era..."
"Let's start with the hopeless city in front of us."
"Um."
...
Frost Moon Village.

"call..."
Fourteen-year-old Zoro put away his hands and the bamboo knife he was holding in his mouth. Around his body were three chopped wooden stakes.
The short-haired boy with green curly hair stood up straight and quietly raised his head to look at the sky.
Sweat flowed down his bronzed skin and strong body, streaking across the black magatama he wore on his chest.
The young man turned his head slightly and looked at the reward notice posted on a big tree nearby.
"I don't quite understand, but... you are one step closer to being the strongest in the world."
Sauron took a breath, threw away the bamboo knife in his hand, took out the "elk" sword from his waist, and pointed it directly at the reward notice.
This is the saber Kazan left for him.
"Wait, Kazan, you won't sit in that position for too long! I will definitely defeat you and Hawkeye before Kuina, and then become the world's greatest swordsman."
Zoro is not very smart.
Kazan is a swordsman, and his dream is to become the strongest swordsman in the world. Then won’t he be the strongest swordsman in the world from now on?
But isn’t the world’s greatest swordsman Hawkeye?
Is Kazan going to challenge Hawkeye and take that position?
Zoro couldn't understand, so he simply stopped thinking about it.
Anyway, these two are the targets he must face on his way to becoming the most powerful swordsman in the world, and he will definitely defeat them.
"I wonder if Kuina has seen Kazan..."
"Wait, maybe Kazan is deserting Kuina right now?!"
"How can it be repaired!!! I will never lose!"
The green algae-headed boy ran rampant in the forest towards the 'elk' with a green blade, and then met a wild bear.
"Do you even want to stop me?"
"roar!"
"One sword to kill the ghost!"
As a flash of purple light flashed across the young man's eyes, a beautiful black slash passed by, and the big bear was cut in half with one knife.
The young man looked at the knife in his hand with confusion. He didn't understand what happened with the blow just now.
This was the first time he had seen such a situation.
Obviously he was just practicing the [Iai Demon Slayer] taught to him by Kazan step by step.
"It's almost time...it's time to talk to Master about going to sea."
...
Silob Village.
"Master Usopp must pull you out today!"
A twelve-year-old boy with a long nose was standing on the shore of Xiluobu Village, holding a long steel slingshot and working hard.
He has been competing with this slingshot for several years, and they have already developed feelings for each other.
Nowadays, Usopp is also a relatively strong young man in the village. Although he spends three days fishing and two days drying nets, it can still be regarded as a bit of exercise.
Suddenly, a reward notice floated over from afar.
"Ahhhh!!! Uh...Nani, it's a reward order, let me see..."
Usopp was startled by the bounty order that was suddenly intercepted by his long nose, and then he pulled it off and looked at it carefully. His eyes became serious in an instant.
"Death Gun..."
Looking at the title above, Usopp suddenly lay flat on the ground, remembering the agreement he made a few years ago.
"The world's best sniper...can I really do it?"
Usopp looked at the blue sky and the cool sea breeze, wanting to just sleep quietly.
Suddenly, a carp jumped up and Usopp jumped up.
"Hey, let's give it a try. I don't want to be laughed at when we meet in the future."
The long-nosed boy stood up, but this time he did not turn around to look at the sea behind him that he had longed for countless times.
He doesn't have the strength to face the sea yet.
"Uncle Usopp! Let's go!"
Today's Xiluobu Village is unusually cold. The villagers have not seen the boy who has been lying to them since he was a child about the pirates coming.
When everyone was worried and went out to search together.
On the beach, I saw a young man who was sweating profusely, with his tongue hanging out, breathing heavily, and kept saying "I can't do it anymore" but he still tried hard to move his legs and run forward.
This was the first time for them to see that young man working so hard.
You must have found your target.
...
Cocosia Village.
In an orange grove, a thirteen-year-old orange-haired boy already has a rather large figure and is working hard to grow into an attractive woman.
"Hehehe, Uncle Kazan is handsome again."
Nami held a newspaper and looked at it stupidly. Although Kazan in the picture was covered in injuries, the girl found such a man very attractive.
In fact, before leaving, Nokkigao specifically told Nami that she would be called Kazannisang when she met her on the sea.
Because Kazan is not that old, and he always feels that when he is called uncle, he will not be able to hold his head high when facing Perona and Sugar.
But Nami didn't want to change her name, firstly because she was called that when she was a child, and she didn't want to change it when she grew up.
Secondly, she felt that everyone called Kazan Nissan, and she didn’t want to be like others, so she chose to call her uncle.
"The same goes for Pepe-chan. She has led the monster family to such a place. She must be a very powerful navigator now."
Nami looked at the three reward notices on the ground in front of her with a little envy.
They are Kazan, Perona, and Sugar. These are the three people Nami pays most attention to in the monster family.
"And Aaron, Xiaoba... It's great that they can meet Uncle Kazan and the others so quickly... They are all super powerful pirates on the sea now. With these guys
His character must be very happy."
Nami looked to the other side, where there were several other bounty orders, belonging to other members of the Monster Family and members of the Dragon Pirates.
"I really want to go to sea... How are Bellemare and Nokkigao doing?"
"By the way, if they meet the monster family, they won't fight..."
"No, Uncle Kazan is so strong. He can even fight with that 'Naval Hero'. Bellemere and Nozhigao will definitely not be able to defeat him."
Nami couldn't help but be a little worried about Bellemere and Nokigao who were going to join the navy.
The girl stood up, patted the dust on her body, glanced at the oranges in the garden, and sighed:
"Let's go to sea."
"Everyone has left, I don't want to wait here any longer."
Nami did as she said, went back to the house to pack her things and planned to leave.
As soon as she stepped out of her house, a group of villagers were already waiting in front of her house. Each of them had learned a little bit of fish-man karate.
"Nami, you can't get out today either."
"That's right, go home and don't think about going to sea."
"We can't let you go to sea alone."
"I didn't go out with Bellemere and Noggio earlier, but now it's too late!"
The big guys in Cocosia Village blocked the door of Nami's house and refused to give way at all.
Yes, this is not the first time Nami has wanted to go to sea, but countless times.
Since Bellemere, Nokigo, and everyone in the Dragon Pirates left, Nami couldn't bear the loneliness and planned to go to sea.
But everyone in Cocosia Village simply did not allow Nami, a little girl, to go out to sea alone, for fear that she would be in danger.
"Get out of the way! I'm going to sea today!"
"As I said before, if you want to go to sea, you can beat all of us."
Ken walked to the front with his usual windmill, blocking Nami's path.
"I will show no mercy!"
Nami dropped her luggage, rushed into the crowd with her long legs, and started fighting with everyone in Cocosia Village.
Under such circumstances, wait until the little girl can go to sea.
I'm afraid he already has considerable strength.
Among the constantly beating crowd, the crystal snowflake necklace on the girl's chest is constantly jumping, reflecting the girl's youth and vitality.
