Chapter 325

But the worry in his heart did not dissipate much.

Although Artoria is strong, she is also trustworthy.

But the changes in the sea in the past ten years have made Whitebeard feel the passage of time and the powerlessness.

He no longer has much ability to protect his children, and he can only use the residual power of the past to barely maintain the current carefree situation.

Once a drastic change breaks out, can Artoria really protect the entire Whitebeard Pirates by herself?

not to mention..

“The successor I choose is not you, Arturia.”

The eagle-like eyes swept across the crowd, the revered Arturia.

Whitebeard’s heart couldn’t help but feel a little indebted. After all, in the past ten years, Arturia’s contribution to the Whitebeard Pirates was too great! !

Today, the status of the head of the four emperors of the Whitebeard Pirates is fully supported by Arturia! Among the pirates, a group that is supreme by force, Artoria can almost be said to be the default successor of all the members of the Whitebeard.

Not even Marco had the slightest objection to this.

The year 1520 of the Haiyuan calendar, in June.

As news of Crocodile’s defeat spread to the world, so did the undercurrents of the world.

But that didn’t stop the Straw Hats from continuing their adventure.

After defeating Crocodile and offering a reward of 100 million Berry, the Straw Hats came to their second stop on the great route – Magic Valley Town!

As in the plot, the Straw Hats saw the huge silhouette delivered from the sky, and then, in the recording pointer pointing to the sky, they realized the possibility of islands in the sky.

Then a group of people accidentally encountered the descendants of the big talker Rolando. Unlike the story, the sky island is still just an undiscovered legend. Because of Ulquiorra, the existence of the sky island has long been everyone. Knowing things, Rolando’s descendants have even visited the sky island in person, but what they saw after arriving at the sky island made this middle-aged uncle who is full of beautiful fantasies about the sky island. Take another step to the empty island.

“So, what did you see on the empty island?” Inside the narrow but cozy wooden house.

The Straw Hats looked at the chestnut-headed uncle Montblanc Rolando who was squatting on the sofa and asked curiously.

“Ruins, and corpses! The lost golden bell is full of blood and scorch marks.” Although there was a cigarette in his mouth.

But the mental pleasure brought by cigarettes obviously cannot erase the horrific memory Meng Bulang saw after landing on the empty island: “The survivors shouted demons, and even people from Qinghai will become mentally ill. The eyes of hatred, you can’t imagine it at all!”

“Father, this has already happened ten years ago. Now the empty island has recovered very well. There is no need to remember that scene all the time.” The Gorilla Captain of the Gorilla Pirates quickly comforted Meng Blanc.

But Meng Blanc is obviously unable to get out of the original shadow so easily. It is not only the impact of the soul, but also the realization of the disaster that will bring the Golden Township once the Golden Township is really leaked out by his ancestors!

Although Mont Blanc once hated his ancestor Rolando, deep down in his heart, Mont Blanc still worshipped his ancestor! Searching for the empty island for so many years is also to wash away the name of the ancestor’s “big talker” and restore Rolando’s due reputation.

It is a pity that although Rolando has been confirmed not to be a big talker, what follows is that the sky island was slaughtered due to the existence of gold.

Those hateful eyes, and the corpses all over the empty island, if it wasn’t for Sandora being swept to the empty island by the updraft, perhaps these sins would have been attributed to their ancestor Rolando and his leadership hundreds of years ago. Here comes the army!

“Uncle Chestnut Head…” The Straw Hats also spoke to comfort them, but they didn’t know they didn’t understand Meng Blanc from the beginning.

But even so, Montblanc’s mentality still changed a little under the enthusiasm of the Straw Hats, and turned to the Straw Hats to make a request, hoping that the Straw Hats would go to the sky island instead of himself to the descendants of Calgary. Send an apology.

As for the apology, Mont Blanc kept silent.

“Okay, leave it to us!” Luffy did everything directly, anyway, the first time he heard the existence of the empty island, he had already made up his mind to see it, and by the way help Meng Blanc Just apologizing, just a little effort.

“Really… thank you so much.” Meng Blanche was moved to tears, and then he hurriedly entertained the Straw Hats and told them how to go to the empty island.

“First of all, people from the sky island definitely don’t welcome people from Qinghai! Because more than ten years ago, a terrifying Qinghai person boarded the sky island and killed more than 90% of the people on the sky island. The empty island has a **** feud.” Meng Brown said: “But it is not impossible, you can use the updraft and fight for a 50% chance to directly rush into the white sea of ​​the empty island, and then bypass it. The gate of the empty island, from the Baihai River of the empty island, directly enters the Baibaihai where the empty island is located.”

“Fifty percent chance?” Nami questioned.

“Yes, only fifty percent will either rush to the sky island, or fall from the sky, and the entire army will be destroyed.” Meng Brown smiled bitterly.

“…” In an instant, Usopp, Chopper and Nami had the intention of retreating.

But for people like Luffy and Zoro who are eager to take risks, the more dangerous they are, the more exciting they will feel, not only are they not afraid, but they are excited to jump up!

“Since you have decided, then let’s talk about the way to go to the empty island.” Meng Bulang saw that the Straw Hats were not frightened away by him, he was relieved, and started to tell the story for the Straw Hats. The way to go to the sky island.

The first step, of course, is the ship modification..

Uruk Kingdom..

Inside the vast Uruk Palace.

under the leadership of the servant.

A tall man wearing a flamingo cloak and flowing air led a group of imposing cadres slowly through the red carpet-paved corridor and landed on the seats placed on both sides of the palace in turn.

Opposite Doflamingo.

Sitting there was a young man dressed in a decent suit with a dull expression on his face.

Behind the young man stood more than a dozen strong, powerful and imposing powerhouses. Anyone who knows the news can recognize that these guys are all world-class fighting champions who have enjoyed a great reputation in the world!

On the stairs above the center of Doflamingo and the young man, the owner of this palace, who is the leader of this meeting—the strongest allied country in the world, the king of Uruk—the ‘hero’ King ‘Gilgamesh!

“Don Quixote Doflamingo, on the surface, his identity is King Shichibukai, King of Dressrosa Kingdom, but secretly, his identity is the largest middleman in the underground world – Joker!”

See both sides seated.

Although he knew that the two sides were already familiar with each other’s identities, as the ‘host’, Gilgamesh still introduced it intimately: “As for the person sitting opposite you, it is the director of the Donghai Deep Blue Chamber of Commerce, who can represent the full authority. Shen 107 Blue Chamber of Commerce exercised all rights – Mr. Liu Ye.”

…..

The voice fell.

The scrutinizing eyes suddenly turned to each other, and there was an interesting look in their eyes at the same time.

As the largest middleman in the underground world, Doflamingo, who is able to have both sides in almost all the top-ranked forces in the ranking, of course knows the strength of the Deep Blue Chamber of Commerce, even more powerful than the world government that was played around by CP9. To understand the energy of the Deep Blue Chamber of Commerce.

This chamber of commerce can be said to be in charge of the economic lifeline of the entire East China Sea. There are dozens of fighting champions who have played for the Deep Blue Chamber of Commerce on the bright side. Brother Doflamingo has also watched several decisive battles and knows these The guy recruited by the Deep Blue Chamber of Commerce as a thug is not an easy one.

Not to mention, the true strength of the Deep Blue Chamber of Commerce has never been its strength on paper, but more astonishing, which vaguely points to the long war that almost brought down the world government in the West Sea more than ten years ago.

Doflamingo, who is good at making allies, is certainly interested in one of the helms of these mysterious forces.

For Liu Ye, his interest in Doflamingo was much simpler.

Because this is a rare realist in the pirate world! Whether it is business power or planning, it can be called one-on-one. If it wasn’t for Luffy, the son of destiny, it would not be impossible for him to become the fourth emperor in the future.
