Pirates of the First Empire

If there are outsiders here, they will definitely be confused. Obviously the red-haired pirates are not particularly outstanding now, but the name Shanks seems to be familiar to the five old stars.

Of course, what is said here cannot be known to the outside world, including the commander of CP9, who can only maintain a bent posture at this time, not daring to breathe...

In the end, the CP9 officer did not receive any follow-up orders and was sent away by the five old men. Therefore, he did not know what these five old men meant. Of course, because there were no orders from these few, The people below didn't dare to act rashly, so naturally no one would go to find trouble for Robin without authorization.

After another month of development, the population of Umbrella City has successfully exceeded one million. Moreover, compared to the entire Kingdom of Flowers, these one million people are considered to be "high-quality" people. There are approximately 30 people in one million people. Each family has at least one person with a certain skill, and some even have two people, each of whom is a technical talent.

It would be an exaggeration to say that among the population of Umbrella City, even the farmers are the best farmers in the entire Kingdom of Flowers...

Since the population is already sufficient, the most important matter of building a factory must naturally be put on the agenda. At present, the royal family of the Kingdom of Flowers, including the Umbrella Group itself, must pay more attention to this matter of.

Nothing else, because this matter is related to the great cause of the kingdom's unification. You must know that Ji Qianyuan is only short of weapons and equipment to truly conquer the country by force. Although in terms of the quality of soldiers, they are worse than the Umbrella Group's Umbrella Corps. It's far away, but compared to other warlords, it's still enough.

Therefore, the only thing they lack is weapons and equipment. The performance of the Royal Forest Army has completely inflated Ji Qianyuan's ambitions. At the same time, after experiencing several recent major events, the Kingdom of Flowers has been divided into unstable forces and families. They also started to take sides.

In addition, there are a group of warlords whose abilities are not indispensable to the Kingdom of Flowers. After anticipating that it may be difficult to continue to mix in the Kingdom of Flowers, they decisively began their final madness and began to engage in all-round activities on a large scale. They are searching for benefits in their own territory, and are always ready to escape from the Kingdom of Flowers and continue to live in other places with their wealth.

You know, for these people, there is always a place in the West Sea. There are so many non-franchising countries and there are so many countries at war. As long as they have money and soldiers, they can live no matter where they go. Very moisturizing.

Compared with them, those miserable pirates were much more miserable. They floated on the sea every day, and might be swept away by a big storm at any time. They had to avoid the navy at any time. It was simply not a life for human beings. Therefore, They are used to living a "good life" and it is impossible for them to become pirates.

Of course, they couldn't give up and leave the Kingdom of Flowers in despair because of what had happened yet. Instead, they began to search more intensively, converting almost all valuable things into money and treasures, and waited until the last moment to leave. , they have done this many times.

Compared with them, like some warlords supported and established by the local forces in the Kingdom of Flowers, they can run away as monks but not in temples. Their families have already taken root in the Kingdom of Flowers...

Of course, they do not have no choice, but they still don't know yet what attitude His Majesty the King has towards them, whether he is willing to truly accept them, or whether he wants to pursue it to the end.

After all, these people stand on their own and dominate one side. The area they occupy originally belongs to the Kingdom of Flowers and the royal family. Both sides have this conflict more or less directly. If they have to be liquidated after surrendering, , then they might as well choose to give it a go.

Therefore, the current situation in the Kingdom of Flowers is extremely chaotic. At the same time, those neutral forces or hostile forces that intend to defect to the royal family are also communicating and negotiating with the royal family through various methods at this time...

Regarding this situation, King Ji Qianyuan is naturally happy to see it. Although he has already made preparations for "armed unification", it would be great if he could shed a little less blood. The premise is that those who are willing to surrender It's really letting go, not a temporary solution.

New World, not far from the junction of New World and the West Sea, there is an uninhabited island.

"The boxing champion - Hannock, the troll - Floki, the witch king - Angelica, the Soul Bell - Qorg! Tsk, tsk, tsk, there are so many people here!" Lucifer looked at the people in front of him, He said with a joking expression that he had long thought that these people must have bad intentions when they joined forces, but he didn't expect that they would actually bury nails around him.

But at this time, he didn't panic at all, because at this time, he was not facing the enemy alone. There were several "big shots" standing with Lucifer. Presumably, the four guys opposite him had been fighting against each other until now. I haven't figured out what's going on.

"It's you, red-haired Shanks! And the navy headquarters' alternate admirals, Polusalino and Kuzan... why are you here!" Looking at the people around Lucifer, Hannock and the others were also a little confused. …

The four of them conspired to cooperate in order to kill Lucifer first, who was the most difficult to deal with and the most optimistic to the outside world. To this end, they even sent death warriors to join the Fallen Pirates and become one of its elite members.

You know, if you want to gain Lucifer's trust, you have to be contaminated by the corrupt power of his Devil Fruit ability. After being contaminated, the person's future life and death will all depend on Lucifer's thoughts. If it were not for death, It is absolutely impossible for a soldier to accept such an almost certain death mission.

And their purpose of sending such a dead soldier is also very simple, that is, to know the opponent's itinerary at the critical moment, and find an opportunity to take action at the same time, and directly take away Lucifer...

However, the scene in front of them was completely beyond their expectations. The news that Red Hair left the Great Channel and returned to the West Sea was already known to everyone. It was Lucifer's purpose of coming to this uninhabited island. In fact, it was very simple. Take a Devil Fruit, which was discovered not long ago by a member of a pirate group affiliated with the Fallen Pirates.

It was a Devil Fruit on this uninhabited island, guarded by a group of giant beasts. The members of the affiliated pirate group were relatively average in strength and could not obtain this Devil Fruit, so they sold the information to the Fallen Pirates. .

After their description, Lucifer combined it with the Devil Fruit Illustrated Book and confirmed that the Devil Fruit was extraordinary. In addition, they really had nothing to do recently, so they decided to go there in person, and this news was not unexpected. It was spread to the ears of "Boxing Champion" Hannock and others.

In this way, after considering that this would be a very good opportunity, they started to take action, but what people never expected was that red-haired Shanks actually appeared here. Not only that, even the navy, Two alternate generals appeared here...

"Oh, yo, it's really scary. They are all very vicious pirates!" At this time, Porusalino was still cutting his nails in a calm manner and said in an exaggerated tone. However, the marines behind him But they are not so calm anymore. They know very well who the pirates in front of them are...

"I'm really unlucky. I just met you all when I came back. Otherwise, how about you let me leave first? How about..." The red-haired person said in a weak tone. Those who didn't know really thought that this was someone who could be pinched casually. Soft persimmon.

In fact, this is indeed the case. The red-haired pirates have indeed just returned to the new world. It just happened that they encountered the combined fleet of the fallen pirates and the two navy admirals who were still in confrontation. It was even more difficult. What's amazing is that now even the other four "Silver" pirate groups have all appeared here, it's just...

You know, Shanks also hates trouble, and the current situation is obviously very troublesome. Naturally, Shanks cannot be happy, and even feels that he is unlucky. All in all, Shanks There are all kinds of emotions now, but there is no such emotion as "fear".
