From Pirates to Sweeping the Worlds

Master Gene pointed affectionately at the huge ship being carefully cast in front of him, his pride overflowing in his words: "This huge ship will undoubtedly become the pinnacle of my life's work of craftsmanship."

Everyone turned their eyes to the majestic and magnificent warship and was shocked by its momentum.

The eyes of Master Gene's disciples and grandchildren were sparkling with unspeakable yearning and longing. They looked forward to following the master to witness the arrival of this glorious moment.

Xia Jieren was immersed in the scenery before him. After a moment, he slowly withdrew his gaze, but the smile on his face did not diminish in the slightest.

He turned around and said to Master Gene in a relaxed and expectant tone: "Master Gene, could you please give me a brief introduction to this giant ship?"

"Yes, sir!" Master Gene responded cheerfully and enthusiastically. Then, he began to explain at a leisurely pace: "This ship is 266 meters long and 88 meters wide at its widest point."

"The interior space is carefully divided into multiple functional areas, including the captain's room, crew rest area, luxurious banquet hall, quiet library and professional training room."

"..."

While listening to Master Gene's detailed layout plan, Xia Jieren nodded frequently to express his approval, and also interrupted from time to time to offer his own opinions.

Master Gene suddenly asked, "Sir, what should this ship be called?"

Xia Jieren was stunned, then fell into deep thought.

He gazed at the majestic dragon statue on the bow of the ship and subconsciously wanted to call it "Qinglong".

However, the next second he suddenly remembered that there was a green dragon in the new world.

Then he abandoned the original name without hesitation.

After a brief and deep thought, a majestic name instantly burst out from his mouth: "Dragon God!"

"Dragon God... Dragon God..." Master Gene whispered the name repeatedly, as if savoring the tremendous power and endless mystery contained in it.

Finally, a satisfied smile appeared on his face, and he said affirmatively: "It is indeed an excellent name."

Thus, the ship was given a name that carries its unique soul and mission - Dragon God, and this name was solemnly determined.

After the name was confirmed, Xia Jieren encouraged them a few more words and then left with satisfaction.

......

As the sun and the moon alternated, time quickly came to the end of 1509 in the Haiyuan calendar.

At this moment, Xia Jieren is actively preparing for the new year.

Now, Xia Jieren is also a family man.

After another wonderful New Year, the year 1510 of the Haiyuan calendar arrived as scheduled.

At night, Xia Jieren hugged Litte's soft and delicate body, feeling a little regretful in his heart, but more of anticipation for the future.

At the beginning of the new year, Xia Jieren went to the shipyard again to inspect the construction progress of the Dragon God.

Thanks to the unremitting efforts of Master Gene and other shipbuilders and craftsmen, the Dragon God has been preliminarily completed and will be launched and delivered after decoration.

Xia Jieren was very satisfied with this.

After leaving the shipyard, Xia Jieren returned to the palace and found some newspapers to pass the time while Litt was working.

[The Shadow Pirates were completely wiped out, and Captain Gekko Moriah escaped in a panic! ]

[Kaido the Beast crushes the rising star of the Pirates! ]

When Xia Jieren saw the title, he was quickly attracted.

Just as Xia Jieren thought, the two protagonists in the newspaper were indeed his "acquaintances".

It’s just that Xia Jieren knows them, but they don’t know Xia Jieren.

Gekko Moriah, one of the future Shichibukai, is a user of the superhuman Shadow Fruit.

"This is the battle where Gekko Moriah lost all his companions." Xia Jieren thought, and then shook his head with some regret: "Who would have thought that the high-spirited young man who dreamed of becoming the Pirate King would become a fat otaku who lives in a small house and plays with corpses all year round after this blow."

Looking at the confident smile and tall and strong figure of Moonlight Moria on the wanted poster, and then thinking about his future beer belly, it is hard to believe that these are two different people.

Xia Jieren continued reading.

It turns out that Gekko Moriah challenged Kaido in order to obtain the historical text of the signpost in his hand.

"In the original work, Gekko Moriah wanted to challenge Kaido's status as one of the beasts, but why has the reason changed now? Is it the butterfly effect again?" Xia Jieren asked puzzledly.

"Forget it! It's none of my business anyway, so why think so much about it." Xia Jieren continued to flip through the newspaper, searching for interesting news.

[The kingdom of music——Elegia is destroyed! 】

【Love and peace were trampled upon, only two people survived! 】

As he flipped through the newspapers, Xia Jieren's eyes suddenly fixed on the newspapers from a few days ago.

As soon as he saw the title, he already knew what was going on.

"What a pity! Uta-chan..." Xia Jieren felt very sorry.

He read the report calmly.

Red-haired Shanks destroyed Elegia and looted all its treasures.

"Heh~, only the World Government can make up such nonsense."

"It seems they don't want the Demon King Totemujika to appear again."

"The Song-Song Fruit is really amazing. It can actually lead people into a virtual space through singing."

Xia Jieren sorted out the known information in his mind.

Although he felt sorry for what happened to Uta, Xia Jieren didn't want to provoke him now.

Xia Jieren can't afford to offend Red-Haired Shanks for the time being.

Thinking of Shanks' background, Xia Jieren became annoyed: "Damn it! I hate people who have both background and strength the most."

In the future, Xia Jieren will definitely have a battle with him.

After flipping through the newspaper a few more times and seeing that there was no interesting news, Xia Jieren simply threw it aside.

With nothing to do, Xia Jieren had no choice but to kill time by exercising.

Navy Headquarters, Marinford, Marshal's Office.

Today, Sengoku, Garp, and Tsuru, the iron triangle of the Marine Headquarters, gathered together again.

He came to report on his work, while Garp came to eat and drink for free and to slack off.

Garp leaned back on the sofa and said carelessly, "Zhan Guo, I want to take a leave to go home and see my grandson."

"I heard there are pirate ships around Windmill Town. I want to go back and take a look."

Hearing this, Zhan Guo frowned and refused decisively: "No, your vacation time has already been used up."

"Then just use next year's vacation." Cap picked his nose and said indifferently.

"No!" Zhan Guo refused again.

He said seriously: "Karp, the world conference to be held in a while will still require you to take charge."

Upon hearing this, Karp sneered and said, "Haha, what's the point of having such a boring meeting?"

"Anyway, a group of kings will only eat and drink when they get together, and they can't make any decisions that are beneficial to the world."

"Garp!" Sengoku shouted, signaling him not to talk nonsense.

"Got it!" Karp still looked nonchalant.
