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

"!!!"

Smoker, usually aloof and unruly, stared wide-eyed and gaping at his calm profile with a blank expression.

"Overthrow...the world? Hey, are you kidding me?"

Ron, with his eyes closed, turned to face him and smiled:

"No, I'm serious."

182, how is that guy still alive?!

"Guest, your wine."

The tavern owner's voice rang out.

"Thank you."

Ron thanked him and took it from him.

But before he could even drink it...

boom!

Smoker slammed his hand heavily on the countertop.

"Do not make jokes!"

The tavern owner and the other customers, hearing the commotion, all looked over.

They stared in astonishment at Smoker, who had stood up and was staring intently at Ron.

"That's... a White Hunter?"

"It's quite rare to see a white hunter lose his composure like this."

"Who's that next to him? His friend?"

Ron calmly took a sip of his drink, and only after the cool, mellow liquor had rolled down his throat did he speak: "Calm down, Smoker. You don't want your men to fight me here, do you?"

"Sit down, I'll explain things to you."

Smoker stared intently at him, then sat down anyway.

…………

While the two were drinking.

After disappearing on the high seas for two years, the traveler Ron, whose fate remains unknown, has reappeared in the East Blue and is now engaged in a sword duel with Hawkeye Mihawk, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

The rulers of the seas, the Marine Headquarters in Marineford on the Grand Line, quickly received the news.

"He's not that easy to die after all... that kid."

Zhan Guo stared intently at the report in his hand.

"Go and call Lieutenant General Garp and Staff Officer Tsuru over."

Sengoku looked at the major general who had delivered the report and said.

"Reporting to the Marshal, Lieutenant General Cap is not currently in Marineford."

"Which generals are currently in Marineford?"

"Admiral Akainu."

"Sakazuki..."

After thinking for a moment, Zhan Guo said, "Never mind, just call Advisor He here."

"understood."

Staff Officer He arrived at this room.

Upon learning of this, her eyes narrowed slightly.

"He disappeared for two years, and now he's reappearing to compete with Hawkeye Mihawk for the title of strongest swordsman... To be able to fight Hawkeye Mihawk to a draw in swordsmanship, it seems his strength has improved significantly in the past two years."

"That's obvious without even thinking about it."

Sengoku sat behind the counter, arms crossed: "Kotsuru, what do you think we should do? Should we send a general to subdue and capture him?"

Staff Officer Tsuru said thoughtfully, "This matter will soon spread throughout the seas. If the Navy sends out another admiral, it will likely cause a great stir. And if Kaido, one of the Four Emperors, were to declare war again..."

"The situation completely collapsed."

Zhan Guo said in a deep voice, "This is also what I am worried about."

"He was able to seriously injure Kaido two years ago, and now, two years later... I'm afraid even if Akainu goes, he might not be able to capture him successfully." Advisor Tsuru pondered, stroking his chin. "In my opinion, it's better to do nothing for now and see what he does and how the New World reacts."

Sengoku nodded.

"It can only be the."

……

This day.

Countless seagulls flew to the vast ocean.

The headline of the newspaper was prominently displayed in large black letters.

Ron the Traveler is not dead!! He reappears at sea after two years!

A sky-piercing slash! The epic duel between Traveler Ron and Hawkeye Mihawk above the East Sea! And the ending is…!!

Both titles are extremely eye-catching.

"Hey, hey, hey, have you seen today's newspaper? That traveler Ron is still alive!"

"real or fake?"

"Of course it's true, it's all in the newspapers, and it seems like he fought with that Hawkeye Mihawk as soon as he appeared."

"The world's strongest swordsman?! Who won?!"

"It seems to be a tie..."

"Traveler Ron is still alive, which means... the Sky Calamity Traveler is still alive! The legend continues!"

Some people were quite excited.

"Sure enough, I told you he couldn't possibly die!"

"This guy caused such a big incident as soon as he showed up... The sea is going to get interesting again..."

"Although I hate pirates and criminals, I don't hate this traveler. I'm glad he's still alive."

"A criminal is a criminal, no different from a pirate! The ocean is ruined by these guys! It would be best if they all died!"

"You bastard, do you know what he did in Dressrosa?"

"I don't know. What he did has nothing to do with me. He's just a criminal."

"A mere criminal? What do you know, you bastard! He teamed up with Zephyr to save a country that had been mired in a decade of darkness from Doflamingo. Is that something a criminal would do?"

"This... is a lie! I don't believe it!"

"You can go to Dressrosa and see how that revitalized nation views him now. He saved a country as a criminal, and the Navy appointed him as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, granting him numerous privileges. Heh, don't you find that ironic?"

The man was speechless.

……

Similar situations have occurred on various islands in the sea, sparking heated discussions.

The Grand Line, a vast sea.

The Heart Pirates' ship drifted slowly with the ocean current.

With Doflamingo's death leaving a vacancy in the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Trafalgar Law, who was invited by the Navy to become one of the new Seven Warlords, looked at the newspaper in his hand and murmured:

"So he's still alive... that guy."

"Who?"

Bepo the polar bear turned his head and asked curiously.

"Ron the Traveler."

Bepo the polar bear froze for a moment, then gaped open: "Eh?!?!?!"

It quickly came closer, looked at the contents of the newspaper, and was deeply shocked.

"Really... he's still alive. And he even managed to fight Hawkeye Mihawk to a draw in swordsmanship?! Is the title of the world's greatest swordsman about to change hands?!"

"It's so noisy! Bepo, you're so close and still so loud, keep your voice down!"

Luo said angrily.

He pushed away Bepo who was getting closer, his gaze falling on the photo in the newspaper in his hand, a complex look flashing in his eyes.

It was him who killed Doflamingo...
