The Worst Fruit Among Pirates

This battle comes and goes quickly,

From the island falling from the sky like a natural disaster that destroyed the world, to the golden lion Shiji being beaten by Garp and Warring States until he couldn't take care of himself, it only took more than half an hour.

As the golden lion fell, the 'Flying Pirates' existed in name only.

Many pirates launched a final crazy counterattack in desperation, but more of them were pale-faced pirates who lost their captains, lost their faith, threw away their weapons and surrendered.

Although the time was short-lived, the damage caused was unparalleled. Large areas of buildings were cracked, blasted, and shattered by falling boulders.

The shock waves and flying slashes in the battle streaked across the ground, buildings, and turrets, and the domineering impact of the last wave of hard fights was like a strong wind passing by, uprooting many buildings.

The entire naval headquarters was scarred everywhere. At first glance, it looked like a ruins filled with rubble and rubble.

"Quick, treat the wounded!"

"Medic, bring the stretcher-"

The navy began to clean the battlefield, and there were busy figures everywhere.

At the same time, the pirates who surrendered were gathered in one place and prepared to be sent directly to Impel Down City.

Although in theory they should be sent to Judiciary Island for trial first, but... all pirates who enter Judiciary Island only have a sentence of life imprisonment!

In this world, there are no good things like "several years in prison" or "reduced sentence and release from prison". If you become a pirate, you have only two choices: being hanged or spending a lifetime in prison!

As for the prison cells in Impel Down City, hehe... there's a reason why they're called 'Hell'.

It is normal to die from torture, extreme environment, raising ferocious beasts, and prisoners fighting among themselves in Impel Down City.

----

When the navy is busy,

Rossi, who had been restless before, became leisurely.

"Hey hey hey, this fight was so easy."

Meeting up with Torebol, who said, "I can fight another [-] rounds," Rossi shrugged.

"if not?"

"The 'Shichibukai' are just mercenaries, or force deterrents."

"The Navy didn't expect us to be the main force in the first place: if we follow the wind, we will naturally feel very relaxed."

This is the truth. Different from the previous battles where family cadres had to rely on all their strength, the navy is the main force in this battle. It is best if Rossi and others are willing to contribute. It does not matter if they cannot.

Anyway, once you stop there, the 'strong' style of painting will naturally attract brainless pirates to rush towards you.

Even in the 'Supreme War' more than 20 years later, the Shichibukai is still full of water, with no distinction between friend and foe...

"However, that is the legendary pirate 'Golden Lion'."

"I didn't expect it to be taken down so easily."

As a group of naval officers wrapped up the unconscious Golden Lion with three layers of inner and three outer layers of sea-floor stone chains, they then escorted him away as if facing a formidable enemy.

Torrebol was lamenting that the legendary pirate who could compete for the Pirate King could not last more than an hour at the Navy Headquarters.

Rossi thinks this is normal.

"This is the naval headquarters, the place with the highest density of experts in the world."

Faced with the alliance between Warring States and Garp at the peak of their powers, who in this world would be beaten to the point of calling him daddy? Apart from the mysterious Lord Im, who would have the guts to stand up?

If it's a one-on-one challenge, it might even get into a tug-of-war;

But if two versus one can't win quickly, then Garp and Sengoku can retire.

Especially when the Golden Lion Shi Ji is determined not to run away, the battle will really last for three days and three nights like the 'rumor' in the previous life. With their destructive power, not even the scum will be left in the Navy Headquarters.

"So, the outcome of this battle has been doomed from the beginning."

The four sea areas, the first half of the great route, and many areas in the New World... these are the territory of the navy.

With the resources and manpower of the entire world, if it could be overthrown by a mere 'Legendary Pirate', then this world wouldn't be called 'One Piece', it should be called 'Naval King' instead.

"Let's go and 'hand in the mission' first."

After the battle is over, the next step is to discuss merit and reward.

Of course, that was limited to the navy, and there were no rewards for 'mercenaries' like Rossi: in other words, the power and convenience of the Shichibukai were rewards paid in advance by the navy.

----

Bang!

"Talan!"

"The number of casualties in the area you are responsible for is actually the sum of the other three areas?"

After the four 'Shichibukai' arrived in the conference room, Marshal Kong frowned while holding the report in his hand, and slapped his hand on the table, causing the whole room to shake.

"How can you be called a warrior if you can't even hold up a falling rock?"

The five-meter-old giant answered matter-of-factly, leaving Marshal Kong speechless for a moment.

In the areas that Taran was responsible for, the casualties mainly came from the first wave of 'meteor showers'. Facing the burning rocks as huge as houses falling from the sky, and the semi-giants from Elbaf, there was no point in taking action.

In Taran's opinion, there is no need to dodge this drizzle.

In fact, he did not dodge or evade, and allowed the burning boulder to hit him!

"You bastard—"

Regarding this kind of 'giant thinking', Marshal Kong rubbed his temples with a headache. If it weren't for the fact that Taran had killed many pirates, he would have immediately let this fool see his fists.

The one with the least casualties was naturally the one in charge of Rossi:

In fact, the navy in that area gave an embarrassing report because Rossi killed most of the pirates alone, leaving them unable to find opponents and all participating in the subsequent rescue.

"Thanks to everyone for your hard work this time."

After adjusting his mentality, the navy marshal glanced at the four people present.

"There is still half a month left. If a fight breaks out, please rush to your respective jurisdictions as soon as possible."

Taran, a reckless man in body and mind, Crocodile with a cigar in his mouth, Accardo, a cold nobleman shaking the wine glass in his hand... Seeing that these three looked like the presence of an old god, Rossi sighed.

"no problem,"

"Marshal Kong, if there is nothing else, we will go back and rest."

"Okay, let's break up—"

Although Rossi was the 'Shichibukai' who contributed the most, Marshal Kong did not specifically mention his contribution.On the one hand, it is naturally because Rossi does not belong to the navy, so it is not easy to "reward based on merit".

Besides, the 'Shichibukai' are usually the most arrogant among pirates, so a reward from the navy may be counterproductive. In the eyes of the other party, its nature may become a 'charity'.

Moreover, Sora knew that Rossi and Garp were hanging out together during this period, and learning the advanced skills of armed color haki from the naval hero was considered an advance payment.

But in the end, Marshal Kong nodded slightly to Rossi who was leaving.

The navy will remember this favor.

In this world, sometimes human kindness is the most precious.

"Hehehe, the Don Quixote boy is very active."

When everyone left the conference room and walked through the dilapidated corridor of the naval base, Crocodile, who was walking in front with a cigar in his mouth, suddenly stopped.

"Sand Crocodile, what do you want to say?"

Facing Rossi who also stopped in his tracks, Taran, a half-giant who was five tall and had to hunched over in the corridor, walked away without looking back. For him, fighting, eating and drinking were the only things worth paying attention to in his life.

Now that the battle is over, it’s time to enjoy wine and food!

glance,

The gloomy black nobleman Accardo turned his head and glanced at the two 'young men' before striding away as well.

This Accardo seems to not care about anything?

"Guhehe, although your Don Quixote family has mastered the 'Fighting Beast Island', 'Food Island', and 'Carnival Island', are you preparing to enter the new world by so 'pleasing' with the navy?"

In Crocodile's view, the Don Quixote family only needs to make good friends with the navy unless they want to enter the new world.

After most of the masters leave the first half of the Grand Line, the remaining people will need to join forces with the navy to maintain stability.

"Which country is your target?"

Faced with Crocodile's question, Rossi raised his chin.

"Why do you ask this? Do you have any arrangements in the new world? You are afraid that our family will destroy your organization-"

Although Crocodile focuses on Alabaster and searching for the ancient weapon 'Hades', he also has considerable power in the New World.

Otherwise, in the 'future' timeline, how could Crocodile, who escaped from Impel Down City and came to the new world, established a huge 'Cross Union' in two years and also lent a large amount of money to Ba? Key Kai Express Company.

As a qualified conspirator, Sand Crocodile will not understand the principles of Cunning Rabbit and Three Caves.

"Guhahaha, I just asked casually."

Taking the cigar out of his mouth and shaking it, Crocodile's eyes flashed with fear. The guy in front of him actually guessed from his own question that he had arrangements in the new world?

No, it might just be a guess...

"Don't worry, our family has no goals, at least not yet."

Rossi turned around, waved back and left directly.He doesn’t know what Crocodile is thinking?

Unfortunately, Alabaster only has the instructions for 'Pluto', and the real 'Pluto' is actually within the 'wall' of Wano!

However, now Wano Country has become Kaido’s territory.

Although the people of United Wano may be able to drive Kaido away, but Rossi is not an 'internationalist warrior', traveling all the way to Wano to do good deeds?

nonexistent,

When the family is strong enough in the future, they will defeat the Beast Pirates head-on——

No, how could the Don Quixote family sell the 'Artificial Devil Fruit' to Kaido if they have their own!

Rosie, who was thinking while walking, had already flown to a new world.

Although the shapes of those artificial devil fruits are very... deceptive, for men in this world, appearance is not important at all. As long as they have power, they can have women!that power!status!

You can definitely use those artificial Devil Fruits to train middle-level family cadres and establish the "Hundred Beasts" pirate group of the Don Quixote family...

At the same time, Crocodile's words also reminded Rossi that there are no opponents for the Don Quixote family in the first half of the Grand Line, and the real place to train people is in the New World.

And if the Don Quixote family wants to enter the new world, they will definitely need a base.

"Dressrosa..."

Opening the sliding door of his room that had been repaired, Rossi stepped in and touched his chin at the same time.

800 years ago, the Don Quixote family was the king of Dressrosa.

The Don Quixote family took control of the small humans located on the nearby island "Greenbit", and enslaved the small humans to make their country prosperous.

After following 'Im' to establish the world government, the Don Quixote family moved into the Holy Land and became the 'Celestial Dragons'.Dressrosa is ruled by the 'Riku Clan', and King Riku released the villain clan.

Without free labor, Dressrosa became poor.

In the original timeline, Dover would threaten King Riku to collect 100 billion beli in one day, otherwise he would lead his troops to capture Dressrosa more than ten years later.

As a result, Dressrosa as a whole couldn't even raise 100 billion... It was simply incredible.

Now the Don Quixote family can easily take out this money!

"If you want to create an 'artificial devil fruit', a small human race that is friendly to plants is also necessary——"

It seems that Dressrosa will still fall under the rule of 'Don Quixote'.

Of course, Rossi would not obtain Dressrosa through the crude method of controlling people and killing them through a 'parasitic line'.Based on his understanding of the Riku clan, it would be easy to 'persuade' the other party to give up the throne.

Under the rule of the Don Quixote family, Dressrosa will surely usher in true prosperity.

"Rosie, what 'Dressrosa'?"

In the room, Torebol, who had returned early, was drinking and eating meat. Fighting was very physically demanding, and eating and drinking after a fight was basically a habit in this world.

"It's nothing, I'm thinking about the family's future plans."

"Oh? Tell me--"

Rossi sat across from Torebol and scooped up the food on the table without ceremony.

"Eat and chat."

"it is good,"

Although Torrebol's strategic level can only be considered as a 'dog-headed strategist' level at best, there is no problem in asking him to add details.

"That's right, I'm going to build a logistics base for my family in the new world..."
