Pirates from island owner to king

At first, I thought it was some super natural disaster happening here, or maybe the Peace Island Kingdom finally dropped mushroom bombs on Wano Country.

Unexpectedly, it was Kaido, the beast, fighting with people.

The Thunder God, with lightning and thunder in the sky, first caught their attention.

I thought it was the battle between Ananda, the God of Thunder, and Kaido.

But if you look closely, you can see that although the two sides are fighting fiercely, they are not only moving very fast, but sometimes people can't keep up with them.

At the same time, the two people fighting were covered with dark armed domineering energy. During the fight, black and red lightning flashes were produced from time to time.

In short, it was difficult to see the faces of the two people clearly from a distance of more than ten kilometers.

However, Kaido has obvious characteristics, whether it is his tall and powerful body like a demon, the horns on his head, and the weapon he uses: a mace.

Add these together, apart from Kaido of the Hundred Beasts, it is difficult to find another one on the sea.

Thunder God Ananda, as one of the three strongest men in the Peace Island Kingdom, is also one of the top strong men on the sea.

It can be said that he is already a well-known legend.

Some of his characteristics are relatively familiar to those who specialize in investigating and collecting intelligence information.

As a user with the natural fruit ability, Ananda, the god of thunder, basically does not use weapons, and uses physical skills, domineering, and the ability to attack the strongest natural type thunder fruit to form a specialized fighting method.

In recent years, the exclusive flying battleship Thor has also been added.

It can be said that the Thor is one of the super weapons of Ananda, the God of Thunder.

Now, the Thor did appear here, but the people fighting Kaido were obviously fighting with swordsmanship and not using the natural thunder fruit ability.

Although lightning and thunder can be seen during the battle with Kaido, it is obviously not the attack effect produced by the Thunder Fruit ability.

Could it be that Ananda, the God of Thunder, has recently learned the art of swordsmanship?

Obviously not.

The swordsmanship displayed by this person is very terrifying. Just using swordsmanship to attack, combined with armed color and Haki, he is already evenly matched with Kaido.

Do not!

To be precise, it seems to be even more powerful than Kaido. Kaido is clearly unable to bear it.

Although Ananda, the god of thunder, is one of the top strong men in the sea, he learned the swordsmanship without any news.

It will not directly reach the level where Kaido can be suppressed with swordsmanship alone.

That was Kaido the Beast, one of the top strong men on the sea.

No one doubts Kaido's strength. The astonishing destructive power at the scene, like the traces of a mushroom bomb bombing, is the best proof.

Therefore, we can draw a conclusion that the person who is fighting Kaido is not the God of Thunder Ananda.

So, who would this person be?

He seems to be a strong man who is good at swordsmanship and has reached an extraordinary level. Otherwise, it would be impossible to push Kaido to this level.

Red-haired Shanks?

The people involved in the investigation first thought of this name.

There are few people in the sea with such swordsmanship.

The Golden Lion Shiji counts as one, but the Golden Lion himself has relatively obvious characteristics, and he uses two swords, so it doesn't seem to be the case.

In addition, there are the aloof Red Ryder and Hades Rayleigh.

The aloof Red Ryder has been escaping from Impel Down for some time. This legend can be compared to the legend of Roger Whitebeard in a single person and in a group. His physical skills, sword skills, and domineering are all top-notch.

However, what is certain is that after coming out of Impel Down, Ryder had been silent for several years. Just after the news that the Peace Island Kingdom had obtained pure gold was exposed, someone spotted Ryder appearing on an island in the New World.

Ryder is now rushing to the battleship escorted by Whitebeard himself, seemingly intending to snatch the pure gold.

It is certain that the place where Ryder appeared is far away from Wano Country. At this time, it is impossible to appear here to fight Kaido.

As for Hades Rayleigh, as the right hand of Pirate King Roger, he is good at swordsmanship, domineering, and physical skills. It is said that he is also an exceptional strongman.

According to his age, Rayleigh should no longer be at his peak.

However, there are also reports that Pluto Rayleigh has been settling in the Peace Island Kingdom for the past seven or eight years.

Although there is no accurate information that he has joined the Peace Island Kingdom, he seems to be in good condition.

It is no longer a special secret that Wang Hai, the king of the Peace Island Kingdom, has the ability to help people redeem their potential and talents.

It is a well-known fact that the strength of many high-end military forces in the Heping Island Kingdom has increased by leaps and bounds in recent years.

Moreover, the Heping Island Kingdom seems to have some method that can restore people's youth.

Although it will not directly restore people to their youth, it does not seem to be difficult to become ten or twenty years younger.

Today's Whitebeard is the best proof.

Five or six years ago, Whitebeard was already 60 years old and seemed to be aging.

But five years later, Whitebeard not only did not continue to grow older, but became younger and younger.

Now, he looks like a man in his 40s, with no signs of aging, which is incredible.

Originally, Whitebeard, who had reached the exceptional level, was already very terrifying.

Now, a white beard whose condition has returned to the peak of his prime is undoubtedly more difficult to deal with.

If it's just Whitebeard who is like this, maybe it's the effect of some kind of fruit ability.

But there are also golden lions, as well as some strong men who are already old, and they have become much younger.

In this way, the method by which the Peace Island Kingdom can restore youth to people is worth exploring.

In order to figure it out, all parties spent a huge price.

Although the exact method is still not available, some related situations are known.

The reason why Heping Island Kingdom can restore youth seems to be related to some kind of secret technique and the secret medicine that goes with the secret technique.

The latter is related to a doctor named Kuleha.

Information about Kuleha was also uncovered by various forces, and then it was discovered that Kuleha had lived for more than 100 years, but was still in good health and strong.

Although there are many long-lived people in the sea, it is difficult for normal humans to be like Kuleha after they are over 100 years old.

Kuleha in the intelligence looks more like 60 to [-] years old.

Moreover, after coming to the Peace Island Kingdom, Kuleha has become younger and younger. Now, she looks like she is in her early 40s at most.

There is no doubt that such secrets are enough to drive people crazy.

It is said that Kuleha was able to live a long life in the first place because of her superb medical skills and the development of a secret medicine.

As for the secret technique, it came from Wang Hai, more specifically, perhaps from the Kingdom of Flowers.

It seems understandable that there are some magical things in an ancient country like the Kingdom of Flowers, which has existed longer than the World Government.

For this reason, many people go to the Kingdom of Flowers to try to find this secret technique.

At the same time, on this sea, the ancient country is not just the country of flowers. Many people have begun to delve into some other ancient countries, trying to discover something valuable.

At that time, there was a craze for archeology.

Until the World Government noticed that many people discovered something about the blank 100-year history during the archaeological process. In order to cover up this, they took the initiative to suppress it.

As a result, the archaeological craze was forced to move underground within the control of the world government.

However, the World Government is no longer the only one in this ocean.

There are already many places that have lost control of the world government.

Therefore, there are still many people searching for the past.

On this sea, there are indeed some splendid civilizations that have been hidden in history. As people continue to discover them, they are constantly being rediscovered.

Among them, some valuable things were indeed discovered.

Among them is a black knife that is comparable to the supreme sharp knife, but there is no clear record.

There are also some buried devil fruits, as well as various treasures, cultural relics, and history.

Among them, there are many lost kingdoms.

There are even some countries that have advanced technologies, some of which are considered top-notch even now.

As for the secret technique that can restore people's youth, it has never been found.

On the other hand, some people tried to make huge fortunes by using the health-preserving formula they had researched, disguising it as the ancient lost secret of immortality, and they really succeeded.

Although he was eventually exposed, he used the defrauded wealth to buy a good Devil Fruit, his strength skyrocketed, and he moved directly to Fish-Man Island.

In short, with the archaeological craze, a lot of true and false news has come out, but it has not dampened people's enthusiasm.

Until now, there are still many people involved in this industry.

Even many pure laymen, with the idea of ​​getting rich suddenly, are trying to dig out every piece of land that has not been explored, find islands that have not been landed, and salvage inaccessible sea areas.

Especially after the news that the Heping Island Kingdom obtained pure gold came out, although it temporarily attracted the attention of the whole world, it did not reduce the archaeological craze, but only added to the fire.

Because pure gold is a legendary secret treasure, it has always been considered to exist only in ancient legends and stories, and is a fictional thing.

But now, it has been confirmed that it actually exists.

It can be seen that many ancient legends on this sea may be true.

Countless people want the pure gold obtained by the Heping Island Kingdom, but in the end, only a handful of people dare to take action to snatch it from the Heping Island Kingdom.

More people can only hope that they can quietly dig up pure gold.

Even if you don't find pure gold, even if you find some gold it's not bad.

Having said that, the Heping Island Kingdom has a method that can restore people's youth.

Pluto Rayleigh settled in the Peace Island Kingdom, and he seemed to have become a lot younger. He probably also got a way to restore his youth.

In this way, it is possible that Pluto Rayleigh's strength has not declined over the years, but has further improved.

Perhaps, he has secretly joined the Peace Island Kingdom.

It is said that when Pluto Rayleigh was at his peak, he had extraordinary strength, but perhaps not at the top level.

But if these people who settled in the Peace Island Kingdom had received help from Wang Hai, they might have gone a step further and reached the top of the exceptional level.

In this way, the person who is suppressing Kaido with swordsmanship may be Pluto Rayleigh.

However, this speculation was quickly denied.

Because the Peace Island Kingdom is hosting the World Championship of the Strong, a special pre-match live broadcast is being carried out.

And Pluto Rayleigh, as one of the swordsmanship consultants, appeared in the live broadcast. It is impossible to appear in the country of Wano to fight Kaido at this moment.

After eliminating all possibilities, what remains must be the answer.

Red-haired Shanks.

There should be no other possibility except him.

Although it is a bit puzzling why he suddenly declared war with Kaido at this time.

Meanwhile, instead of his crew coming with him, Ananda, the god of thunder, came.

Even though many people know that red-haired Shanks is friends with Wang Hai, the king of the Peace Island Kingdom, Wang Hai's brother-in-law Armani is also one of the cadres of the red-haired pirate group.

Amani is also the son of Ananda, the god of thunder.

In addition, Red-haired Shanks and Hades Rayleigh are still crew members on the Roger Pirates' ship.

With these relationships, it is not difficult to understand that the red hair has friendship with Ananda, the God of Thunder.

As for the reason why red-haired Shanks attacked Kaido, it is not a secret.

Kozuki Oden, the son of the general of Wano, was once a crew member of Whitebeard, and later boarded the ship of the Roger Pirates and became a companion of Red-haired Shanks.

After the Roger Pirates disbanded, Kozuki Oden returned to Wano and eventually died at the hands of Kaido.

When red-haired Shanks came to the new world, he had caused trouble to Kaido because of this matter as early as seven or eight years ago.

It's just that at that time, he was not Kaido's opponent, and he couldn't do anything to Kaido.

"It has been rumored that Red-haired Shanks received an invitation from Wang Hai, the king of the Peace Island Kingdom. Could it be that this time he finally agreed?"

"Only this possibility would make Red-haired Shanks and Thor Ananda appear here at the same time. Thor Ananda should be trying to stop Charlotte Lingling."

"I thought that the Peace Island Kingdom was about to face huge troubles this time because of Pure Gold, but I didn't expect that a strong man like Red-haired Shanks would join at this time."

"However, it is pure gold after all. Even red-haired Shanks cannot refuse."

……

Investigators from all parties have already made various speculations.

"Wait...it's not the redhead, it's him!"

Just when they were sending the information back simultaneously, an accident occurred.

After the battle in the sky lasted for a short while, there was finally a change.

Kaido, the beast, fell from the sky, covered in blood, and seemed to have been severely injured.

It was under such circumstances that the red-haired Shanks they thought was finally revealed his true face.

It was a handsome face, as if struck by lightning, instantly making them stunned.

Of course, they were familiar with this face. This was definitely not the red-haired Shanks.

"How could it be him..."

"It's not red hair, who is he?"

When a name was spoken, all the forces that received the news had already heard it wrong.

"Wang Hai? How is this possible!"

……

Just when everyone was shocked, Kaido used the power of the Dragon Fruit to summon a flame cloud to hold him up when he was about to fall into the sea.

He looks very embarrassed now.

A dragon horn on his head was broken, and at the same time a terrifying wound appeared on his body, almost cutting him in half diagonally.

Even though the fruit ability gives him super-fast regeneration level recovery, such injuries seem to be healing slowly.
