Sailing at Sea: The Breath of the Day at the Start

"Of course!"

Bigmom, his eyes bloodshot, said, "Becoming the king of this sea is no easy feat."

"Go tell Kaido that instead of fighting me for territory, we should deal with that annoying brat first!"

Kaido, who had already incurred Ron's wrath, immediately agreed to Big Mom's suggestion of a ceasefire.

Afterwards, Big Mom and Kaido agreed to meet on an island.

The content of the discussion remains unknown.

……

the other side.

Shanks, one of the Four Emperors, also sought out Whitebeard, another of the Four Emperors.

He came here not only for the matter of Blackbeard, but also for the current situation on the high seas.

After Shanks' suggestion was rejected by Whitebeard.

Negotiations between the two sides broke down.

Whitebeard and Shanks had a brief exchange of blows.

After the attack, the entire sky was torn apart by the clash of their domineering auras.

……

On the revolutionary army's side.

After Sabo, Ivankov, and the corps commander in the South China Sea led their troops to participate.

To break the deadlock in Santo Doria directly and head-on.

Within half a month, the regime in Santo Doria, a South China Sea country, which was controlled by nobles, was completely overthrown, and the country was completely liberated.

Meanwhile, the main revolutionary force, led by their leader Dorag, headed towards Tetchlawolf, a bridge country located in the East China Sea and known as the "Labor Country."

The people here are all citizens of countries that refuse to join the World Government or 'criminals' who rebel against the World Government, and they are forced to work hard every day to build bridges.

This bridge has been in existence for seven hundred years.

This represents the fact that the tyrannical rule of the World Government has remained unchanged for seven hundred years.

This was also a key country that the revolutionary army wanted to liberate.

……

The Celestial Dragons were killed.

Admiral Akainu lost an arm.

Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, stole a country but was defeated by a fledgling pirate crew.

The ancient weapon Hades has reappeared in the world.

The Four Emperors, who are based in the New World, continue to make moves.

The revolutionary army successively liberated the state power.

……

At a time when the world is shaken by a series of major events.

Ron and Rayleigh, who were at the source of the storm, were fishing on the beach of Ruscaina Island, which was teeming with ferocious beasts, while Kuina and Conis were grilling the beast meat nearby.

Leisurely and comfortable.

195. On the Void Throne, Lord Im

After enjoying a delicious and tender roasted meat feast.

Ron lay on the rocks on the shore, basking in the sunlight, his face full of enjoyment.

When are you planning to go to Amazon Lily?

Riley, who was sitting to the side with an iron wine canister in his hand, asked him.

Ron laughed and said, "Anytime is fine. Have you thought about what I mentioned?"

Rayleigh took a sip of his drink: "I'm old now. At most, I can help you keep a few general candidates in check."

"enough."

Ron laughed.

Rayleigh looked at him, a hint of emotion flashing in his eyes behind his glasses: "To launch a war to overthrow the World Government... it really gets this old man's blood pumping."

How confident are you about this?

"It's hard to say now; we'll see how strong the final forces are. Rayleigh, regarding the Five Elders of the World Government... are you aware of their strength?"

"The Five Elders..."

Rayleigh thought for a moment: "They hold high positions, and it's very difficult for ordinary people to even meet them. Their strength and abilities are extremely mysterious. Even when I was on Roger's ship, I never had any dealings with them, so I don't know much about their strength and background."

"I see... I understand."

Ron nodded.

"Ron, is that ancient weapon Pluton really in your hands?"

Rayleigh asked curiously.

“No, I don’t know where that thing is either, but Robin does know.” Ron said casually, “Since she thinks it’s best for that thing not to show itself to the world, then let it continue to sleep. I don’t really need that weapon.”

"Is this so..."

Rayleigh looked at him, smiled, and took a sip of his drink.

He was satisfied with Ron's answer.

The strong always believe in their own strength.

Only the weak and those who want to violently rule this sea need such cold-blooded weapons of killing.

"However, now that the World Government has released the news, all those who want to seize Pluton will probably see you as their target. Big Mom and Kaido, two of the Four Emperors, seem to be showing signs of joining forces because of you as a threat."

Rayleigh sipped his drink. "If those two join forces, the might of Rocks could once again sweep across the seas. Wouldn't that affect your plans?"

"It doesn't matter."

Ron said calmly, "If we start a war with the World Government, the winner will decide the world's discourse power. Beings at the level of the Four Emperors cannot stay out of it. There are three choices: stand with us, stand with the World Government, and... unite."

"Of the three options, siding with the World Government is the least likely, while the other two options do not significantly affect my plans."

"Big Mom is hard to say, but for Kaido, who craves to wage a 'world's greatest war'... even if he has a grudge against me, he wouldn't refuse me on this matter."

"It could even be a great help to us."

Rayleigh listened to his words and nodded slightly.

Kaido is indeed that kind of guy.

"I can guess the general plans of Kaido, Whitebeard, and Big Mom, but I can't imagine what Shanks will do."

Ron suddenly asked, "Rayleigh, what kind of guy is Red-Haired Shanks?"

"Shanks..."

Rayleigh thought for a moment and said, "I saw him once in the Sabaody Archipelago a few years ago. He was very strong, or rather, his strength was somewhat unfathomable. He was completely different from when he was in Roger's crew. It's quite surprising that that apprentice from back then could become so strong, hahaha."

Rayleigh laughed loudly.

"Aside from his strength, his personality is still the same as before: generous, easygoing, and unpretentious. His clothes and attitude are very casual and carefree, which is somewhat similar to Roger."

"It's the same as saying it or not saying it."

Ron shook his head and stood up.

"It seems I'll have to go to the New World to see him again."

The scene in the original story where Shanks goes to meet the Five Elders still bothers him a little.

And then there's Im, whom even the Five Elders revere...

Ron touched his eyes with his hand.

There are 15 days left until these reincarnated eyes open.

"Let's go to Nine Snake Island."

……

On the way to Amazon Lily with Ron and his crew.

Holy Land Marie Gioia.

The deepest part of Pangu City.

among the flowers.

Im, the leader of the Celestial Dragons and the mastermind behind the World Government, sits on the Empty Throne, draped in an extremely long black robe.

The five elders knelt at the foot of the high steps, their expressions humble and respectful.
