One Piece: Capture the Goddess and Become Stronger

As he savored the drink slowly, he listened quietly to the noisy conversation in the tavern.

"Wow~ It's so damn refreshing! This wine, this atmosphere, I wish my future days could be as carefree as today!"

A big bearded man took a big gulp of wine, wiped the wine stains from the corners of his mouth boldly, his eyes full of intoxication.

"Hey! What are you talking about! If you have any sense, you will know that the Kingdom of God is booming and no one can stop it!"

A tall and thin man sitting next to him patted his shoulder with a disdainful smile on his face.

"Alas, ever since we came under the rule of the Kingdom of God, my previous precarious and displaced life has disappeared.

I remember that every night, we were always worried about being attacked by pirates or wild beasts.

But now, with the protection of God's Kingdom, we can sleep peacefully without worrying about those terrifying nights anymore."

A young man with a broken arm sighed, but he couldn't suppress the smile in the corner of his eyes.

"Of course not. As long as the Lord God Emperor is still willing to take care of us and assign us work, we will not have to worry about food and drink, and we can drink happily in this tavern!"

Upon hearing this, the big man laughed heartily, attracting the attention of people around him.

Kuzan narrowed his eyes slightly. This group of people were the lowest level beings in the Kingdom of God, but their happiness and carefreeness at this moment did not seem fake.

People are afraid of comparison!

How miserable were these people’s lives before?

Living is a problem!

How is it like now?

As long as these people are not lazy, they can at least have enough food to eat.

"Justice..." Kuzan murmured softly in his heart.

In his youth, he had upheld "burning justice".

After the O'Hara incident, Kuzan began to feel confused about what "justice" really is.

So he began to promote "lazy justice."

Rather than being 'lazy', it would be more accurate to say that he was avoiding the Navy and the World Government, which had deeply disappointed him.

After failing to compete with Sakaski for the position of Admiral of the Navy, he resigned from his position as Admiral of the Navy.

He decided to look at "justice" with his own eyes and pursue his own justice.

Because he had a brief battle with Qin Yun during the Battle of Marineford, he was very interested in the concept of the Kingdom of God.

At this time, Kuzan had been hiding his identity and secretly wandering in the sphere of influence of the Kingdom of God for some time.

At this moment, Kuzan's eyes flashed red and he turned his head to look to the left.

The next moment, lightning gathered and Qin Yun suddenly appeared.

"I don't care about you~Kuzan." Qin Yun sat casually on a chair beside him, looking at Kuzan with a faint expression.

"Ala la la~ Have we been discovered?" Kuzan touched his head and did not seem nervous at all because of his identity being revealed.

"As a former admiral of the navy, how come you have time to come to my kingdom of God? This is not the navy's territory."

The people around naturally noticed the situation here, and the originally bustling pub suddenly became quiet.

When they heard the title of 'Admiral of the Navy' and then saw that the person speaking was actually their Lord God, their eyes widened instantly.

Smart people have realized that what is about to happen may not be simple.

They quietly grabbed their companions around them and left the tavern quietly, fearing that they would be involved in the possible battle.

"The admiral of the navy is a thing of the past. Now I am just an ordinary wanderer~"

Kuzan shook his head and drank a glass of wine helplessly.

Qin Yun raised his eyebrows slightly and stared at Kuzan with a sharp gaze:

"You are not an ordinary wanderer. As a powerful person who can influence the world situation, your presence in any place may cause chaos."

"Please forgive me~ Ever since I broke my leg in the fight with Sakaski, I haven't caused any big incidents!"

As Kuzan spoke, he raised his leg made of icy power to signal, and anyone could hear the self-mockery in his words.

"It's just a leg. If you want to grow one, why not join my Kingdom of God? I guarantee that the new leg you grow will be exactly the same as your own."

Upon hearing this, Kuzan raised a meaningful smile.

"Huh? The legendary God Emperor actually personally invited the former admiral to join his army? Aren't you afraid that I'm an undercover agent sent by the navy to the new world?"

"Kuzan, I know you much better than you think. Besides, didn't you deliberately reveal your whereabouts just to lure me here?" Qin Yun said meaningfully.

Kuzan was stunned, silent for a moment, and then sighed.

“I am really flattered that you think so highly of me.

However, after traveling around for a while, I have already gotten used to a free and easy life. I am afraid I am not suitable to join your army."

"Don't be ridiculous, Kuzan! You're not one to settle for the status quo!"

"Didn't you come to the Kingdom of God to find your own direction of justice?"

"In fact, you already have the answer in your heart, but you know that you don't have the ability to overturn it all, so you don't want to face it, right?"

"..."

Kuzan remained silent, but his hand, which was slightly clenching the wine glass, revealed his inner unrest.

"When darkness becomes the norm, then light becomes a sin! Kuzan!

After going through so much, you should have understood it a long time ago!

As long as the Celestial Dragons and the World Government exist, the pirates in this world will never be killed and civilians will not be able to live in peace.

Why did pirates appear? Have those navy sailors who follow the crowd ever really thought about it?

The root cause is the Celestial Dragons, the most evil group in the world.

The existence of heavenly gold has caused countless countries to suffer and the people at the bottom of society to suffer oppression.

When they have no money, what else can they do to survive besides becoming pirates and robbing others? "

"You were the one who killed those Celestial Dragons in Shampoo?" Kuzan asked suddenly.

"Yes."

"Did you start your own plan at that time? Aren't you afraid of the full-scale attack from the World Government?"

"Haha~ You don't think the Five Elders don't know that I'm the murderer, do you?

Their background is much stronger than you think, but...

They are just a few celestial dragons. Do they dare to risk their lives to come find me?

The Five Elders are used to living a high and mighty life, and they will not seek hardship unless someone orders them to do so."

"A certain existence?" Kuzan frowned slightly, sensing something was wrong.

“You’ll know these later.

In short, no matter where you are, as long as you are still Kuzan, as long as you are still in this world.

You will eventually be dragged into a war that will affect the entire world!"
