One Piece: Starting with the enslavement of Wano Country!

Page 148

Unbeknownst to them, their domineering aura was gradually waning.

In Leilo's palace.

A serpent eagle descended from the sky, transformed into human form, and handed a newspaper to Lei Luo.

Lei Luo opened the newspaper, and the headline on the front page was the news that Crocodile and Gecko Moria had become the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

Lei Luo wasn't surprised at all.

Before their spirits were broken, these two were incredibly powerful.

Crocodile has fought Barrett before, and the battle ended in a draw.

Although Barrett was young at the time, Crocodile was also young.

Crocodile's eventual defeat at the hands of Whitebeard wasn't really a disgrace.

It would be shameful to lose to Luffy who doesn't know Haki!

Kozuki Moria, on the other hand, led his pirate crew directly to Wano Country to fight Kaido.

However, Lei Luo did remember that in the story on the title page, when Yamato was paying homage to the hero, the tombstone was engraved with "Kozuki Moria".

Whether it was a mistake made by the people of Wano Country who engraved the wrong name, or whether Moria was actually a member of the Kozuki clan who had simply been living abroad, Raylo didn't know.

Lei Luo casually placed the newspaper on the table.

I need to find some time to confirm this.

If Gecko Moria really is a member of the Kozuki clan, then Leero will just kill him without hesitation!

In the blink of an eye, it was the year 1496 of the Haiyuan Calendar.

On this day, a dog-headed warship arrived at Baterila Island in the South China Sea, and Garp took away a baby...

Chapter 220 Bandits

Because of Rayleigh's time travel, Roger successfully progressed from the original "Pirate King" to the "Seven Warlords of the Sea".

Since Roger never managed to reach the final island before his death, his bloodline naturally didn't need to hide, and the World Government wouldn't send anyone to settle scores with him.

So, in a sense, Roger should thank Leroy.

Garp remained resentful about not being able to go to Roger's rescue as promised that day.

After that, as if to atone for his sins, whenever he had free time, he would go to Baterila Island to visit Roger's widow, contributing money and effort to make amends in every way he could.

Unfortunately, the poor mother died in childbirth while giving birth to Ace.

On the deck of a warship.

Ace nestled obediently in Garp's arms, neither making a fuss nor fussing; he was very quiet.

Karp looked down at the baby in his arms, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

On one hand, there is guilt.

It was his own broken promise that led to Roger's death in battle, leaving this child an orphan at the start of the game.

On the other hand, he also felt that Roger was a bit of a jerk.

Garp knew about Roger's illness; Roger himself had told him this while they were drinking after the battle on Baterila Island.

In other words, even if he arrived as promised and saved Roger, Roger was a man over fifty years old, suffering from a terminal illness, with little time left, and who had lost an arm.

Given the current situation, why would you still want to harm a girl?

"Sigh." Garp sighed softly and hugged Ace even tighter.

It's just so hard on this child!

The other marines on deck were unaware that Ace was Roger's bloodline.

Roger is now considered a silver medalist who lost to the Beasts Pirates. The World Government is too lazy to investigate further, and naturally, no one has revealed Ace's true identity.

So even though Garp brought them to Baterila Island many times, they only regarded them as the children of one of Garp's fallen comrades.

A marine approached Garp, and, seemingly afraid of frightening the child, deliberately softened his voice: "Vice Admiral Garp, this child... will he stay on the warship and live with us?"

Cap shook his head.

He's just incredibly oblivious, not stupid.

How can such a small baby go out with them into the sea, braving the wind and rain?

As for where to go, Garp already had a destination in mind.

The dog-headed warship continued its voyage on the sea.

After a period of sailing, the dog-headed warship finally arrived in the East China Sea.

Garp let the Marines rest and resupply in the village, while he carried Ace to Mount Gorpo.

Karp pounded on the door, making a loud banging noise.

Dadan impatiently pushed open the door, and before she could even see who it was, she started yelling, "Shut up, you bastard! Do you want me to kill you?!"

"Hmm?" Garp looked at Dadan with an unfriendly expression.

Dadan broke out in a cold sweat, her lips trembling: "Kakakaka... Garp!"

"Hmph!" Garp snorted coldly.

Dadan just chuckled awkwardly.

This naval hero is someone she can't afford to mess with!

Karp handed the baby forward, saying, "From now on, this child is yours to raise, Dadan!"

Dadan then noticed the presence of an infant and quickly waved his hands, saying, "How can this be? I'm a bandit, how can I raise a child?"

Garp held Ace in one arm and casually picked his nose with the other: "Fine, then you choose: spend the rest of your life in prison or raise this child."

"I've always turned a blind eye to your crimes."

"This is practically a blatant threat," Dadan thought to herself, but dared not say it aloud.

Gritting her teeth, Dadan reluctantly took Ace from Garp's hands.

"Alright, alright, I'll take care of this kid from now on!"

Garp nodded in satisfaction.

Looking at the tiny baby in her arms, Dadan asked with some confusion, "By the way, whose child is this?"

Karp glared at Dadan. "Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask."

"Yes." Faced with Garp's death stare, the bandit immediately stood at attention.

Now that Dadan had agreed, Garp prepared to leave.

He knew Dadan's character; otherwise, he wouldn't have entrusted Ace to her care.

The journey from the South China Sea back to the East China Sea had already taken up too much of his time, so Garp turned to leave.

After taking only two steps, Karp suddenly remembered that he hadn't told Dadan what the child's name was yet.

Without turning his head, Garp said, "By the way, this child's name is Ace."

“Ace,” Dadan murmured.

A moment later, Dadan watched as Kapu's figure disappeared, and then dared to mutter, "That old bastard, he's always causing me trouble."

But when she looked down and saw the baby's rosy cheeks in her arms, Dadan's mood improved considerably.

Children are the most wonderful things in the world, until they start school.

Dadan, carrying Ace, turned and walked into the house, loudly announcing to the others, "Kids, from now on, this is our newest member of the family!"

The other bandits inside the house also curiously gathered around, looking at the baby in Dadan's arms with great interest.

"Boss, whose child is this?" one of the bandits asked.

Dadan tried to imitate Kapu's fierce gaze and glare at the bandit to frighten him, but it had no effect.

They usually get along like a family, so why would they be afraid of Dadan's gaze?

The other bandits pressed on, "Yeah, boss, how come you opened the door and came back with a child in your arms?"

"Yes, whose is it?"

Dadan sighed, "Actually, I don't know whose child this is either."

Seeing the bandits looking at her with suspicion, Dadan explained the whole story to them.

After Dadan finished speaking, the bandits stared wide-eyed and exclaimed in disbelief.

"Lieutenant General Garp!!!"

At this moment, Ace, who was in Dadan's arms, suddenly started crying loudly, whether he was hungry or frightened by their exclamations.

Dadan had no experience taking care of children and was immediately flustered, not knowing what to do. She kept muttering to herself as if praying to God, "Don't cry, don't cry, my little darling."

The bandits were also startled.

"It's all your fault for being too loud. See, you scared the child."

"Your voice isn't quiet either."

"Alright, now is not the time to talk about this."

"Boss, is the baby hungry?"

"It's not because he peed."

The bandits, who had absolutely no experience in taking care of children, spent most of the day trying to feed the child and get him to sleep.

The bandits looked at the sleeping baby with beaming smiles, feeling as if they had been healed.

From then on, Ace began his childhood in the mountains of Golpo under the care of Dadan and the other bandits...

Elbaf, the kingdom of giants.

Just like the Rocks Pirates back then, the Beasts Pirates swaggered onto the island.

Chapter 221 What a beautiful car!

Giants are several times the height of ordinary humans, and as the homeland of giants, Elbaf is naturally quite large.

Stussy walked ahead, leading the way.

She was very familiar with the giant kingdom of Elbaf.

Stussy, like Whitebeard and Golden Lion, was one of Rocks' first crew members.

When Lox first came to Elbaf to invite Harald aboard, the three of them were following behind him.

Even after being rejected by Harald, Lox remained persistent and repeatedly brought his crew to Elbaf to drink at the tavern owned by Harald's concubine, Ida.

However, Harald later fought Rocks in order to join the World Government, which completely broke their friendship.

From that time on, the Rocks Pirates never set foot in Elbaf again.

The Beasts Pirates, acting so arrogantly, naturally encountered giants very quickly.

The giants immediately surrounded the Beasts Pirates.

However, after seeing everyone's faces clearly, cold sweat instantly poured down his back.

Even if they were in Elbaf, the newsbirds would still bring newspapers.

And naturally, they couldn't possibly not recognize these faces that even the world government was troubled by!

Compared to the giants who were drenched in sweat, the members of the Beasts Pirates were quite calm and composed.

So what if it's the world's strongest kingdom?

Don't even mention that Dorry and Brogy, both Yonko Commander-level fighters, aren't fighting in Elbaf, but rather in a small park.

Even if the two of them are there, so what!

With Harald and the Crimson Twins, the Beasts Pirates are not afraid, given their current strength.

Lei Luo suddenly spotted a youthful and beautiful figure in the crowd, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily turned up.
