I was a pirate, but I was given a Death panel

in the next two months.

The New World Navy has not made any big moves, and the same is true for the Three Emperors.

Everything is so calm, but it also gives people a sense of the calm before the storm.

However, the most concerning thing is...

Sean, I haven't been seen in over a month!

------

The first half of the great route.

Sky Island, Apayado.

At this moment, about 20% of Apayado's area has been completely blocked.

An area of ​​several kilometers has completely become a restricted area.

Neither the Sandora people nor the Sky Island people can enter it.

Within this "forbidden zone", there are more than thirty people scattered everywhere.

Some people are practicing swordsmanship under the guidance of an old man, and some people are more scattered, basically acting alone, one by one on the ground as if they are meditating.

However, they all have one thing in common, that is, when meditating, they have a knife placed across their legs.

"Rayleigh, how's the situation?"

"It's not bad. Over the past year, the ones you've sent are basically good kendo seedlings. Coupled with the blessing of the special dried meat, they are also very good in terms of physical fitness."

Seeing Sean coming, Rayleigh said after dismissing the students.

According to the original agreement, Rayleigh only needed to stay in the Sixteenth Branch for three months before leaving.

Sean will naturally not break this promise.

But similarly, Sean also told Reilly that if he was willing to stay, he could give him a sky-high salary of 1 million Baileys every month.

In the end, Rayleigh just stayed.

Of course, it was not all about money, otherwise Rayleigh would not have lived in seclusion in the Chambord Islands, and even worked as a coater just to buy wine.

You know, he is Pluto Rayleigh!

If he really wants to make money, he has plenty of ways.

Therefore, the main reason is not the high salary, but...

He has figured it out.

That's right, after three months in Branch 16, he saw Sean's growth rate and the growth rate of those sailors.

Both Sean and the sailors under his command can only be described as terrifying.

It is precisely because of this that in Rayleigh's judgment, Sean will have the power to suppress the new world and completely end the pirate era in one year at the earliest and two years at the latest.

As for the plan that Roger left behind and Shanks inherited...

Rayleigh shook his head. With Sean's presence at the moment, he couldn't see any possibility at all.

Maybe, give Sean a hand so that he can end the pirate era more quickly, overthrow the world government, and finally rebuild the world order...

Better than Roger's plan that cost millions of people...

Besides, Rayleigh has also met Luffy, whom Shanks chose.

If Sean didn't exist, it would be a very good choice indeed.

But the problem is, Sean exists!

And Luffy was completely worthless in front of him. His strength was far inferior to others, and his speed of progress was also incomparable to Sean's.

The gap between the two will only grow wider, and there will be no chance of them catching up in this lifetime.

Because, even if Luffy eats the Nika Fruit, he is still a mortal in the end!

There is an upper limit for mortals, but Sean felt like...

There is no so-called upper limit at all!

This was what made Rayleigh give up completely and push Sean instead.

Well, another reason is...

Sean told Rayleigh that as long as he helped train this Zanpakutō army, he would give him a sword like Hawkeye.

Although Rayleigh is old, there is no doubt that he is still a swordsman.

And for a swordsman, how could he refuse a Zanpakutō that even Hawkeye couldn't refuse?

Anyway, after three months passed, Rayleigh stayed and was sent to Sky Island by Sean.

After that, whenever he found someone with good swordsmanship under his command, he would send them here and give them to Rayleigh for guidance.

In fact, in addition to Rayleigh, Hawkeye was also asked by Sean to come over as a guest instructor at least three times a month.

"How many swordsmen are there now?"

"Among the 36 people, there are currently 2 quasi-great swordsmen, 9 swordsmen, and 25 quasi-swordsmen. It is expected that all members will become swordsmen within two months, and there will be at least 2 great swordsmen."

"What about the Zanpakutō's initial release?"

"Currently, 5 people have completed the initial solution, and others may still need some time."

"Hurry up, in three months at most, the new world will completely change!"

"Are you sure you want to take action?"

Reilly was shocked when he heard Sean say this.

Because, according to the time Sean told him before, this was several months early.

Could it be that something has changed?

"It's not Shanks who pulled BIGMOM and Kaido together to form a pirate alliance. In addition to their three imperial groups, the alliance includes more than 500 pirate groups from the new world, and this number is increasing every day. "

"So, you mean, Shanks will make the first move?"

"Definitely, if it were me, I would do the same instead of being beaten passively."

Sean nodded.

Riley sighed.

Shanks is too stubborn!

In fact, if you really want to say it, Shanks is more like Roger than Luffy.

Although he is the same as Luffy in terms of his silly appearance, Luffy lacks one of Roger's most important qualities.

That is...

The calculation in his heart is deeper than anyone else's.

So, Luffy only looks like Roger on the outside, but on the inside...

He is also a fool.

But Shanks is different. Although he looks as silly as Roger on the outside, he is also deeply scheming and full of calculations on the inside.

"Sean, after the age of pirates ends, what do you want to do next?"

"As for this matter, I believe you have already guessed it, why bother to ask more?"

"Okay, let me rephrase the question. What happens after we deal with the World Government and the Celestial Dragons?"

"At that time... I wanted to go there and see it!"

Sean slowly raised his head and looked at the sky.

Rayleigh, on the other hand, was immediately stunned.

There?

Sky?

Is there anything else on the empty island?

What the hell...

Even if I have been there and finally found out, I have never heard of it!

Maybe most people in this world don't know it, but Sean knows it.

Pirates are not only found on this planet, but there are also countless pirates in the starry sky.

According to how it is called in the original work...

By the way, space pirates! !

Speaking of which, the Sky Islanders are all from the moon.

In addition, Sean even suspected that even the Celestial Dragons were visitors from outside the world.

Maybe the special costumes and hoods of the Celestial Dragons are really space suits?

No one can say for sure.

It's just a pity that One Piece was not finished when I traveled through time. More secrets later cannot be relied on foresight, but...

Go explore for yourself!
