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

Page 134

A meeting was held in the conference room of the headquarters building.

Besides the main marshal Sengoku, there are also Garp, Admiral Aokiji, Admiral Akainu, and Chief Strategist Tsuru.

Admiral Kizaru went to the New World and hasn't returned yet.

The first sentence from the Warring States period caused those present to narrow their eyes slightly.

"The Flying Pirate, Shiki the Golden Lion, is dead."

"Shiki the Golden Lion? Didn't he disappear more than twenty years ago?"

"I can't believe it," Lieutenant General Tsuru said in surprise.

"what happened?"

Garp, also curious and puzzled, asked, "Who killed him?"

"Was it done by one of the Four Emperors or one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea?"

Aokiji couldn't help but ask.

Even though Shiki the Golden Lion is no longer at his peak, he is still one of the top fighters on the sea, possessing the skills of a great swordsman, all three types of Haki, and the Float-Float Fruit.

Even if a tiger has its teeth pulled out, it is still a tiger.

Under the watchful eyes of the others, Sengoku, sitting in the main seat, slowly uttered a name.

"That person's name is... Ron!"

The entire conference room fell silent.

Karp was taken aback.

Aokiji's eyes narrowed.

"Ron?"

The crane looked surprised.

Akainu's stern eyes, hidden beneath the brim of his hat, narrowed slightly.

"That intern brat?"

"That's right! It's that guy who left Marineford three years ago, the former naval recruit trainee!"

Zhan Guo nodded and said in a deep voice.

When he first heard the news, he was extremely shocked. The boy who had grown up under their noses had only been away from Marineford for three years, yet he already possessed such amazing power!

"Sengoku, is this news true? Even if Shiki is no longer at his peak, his strength is still undeniable. Ron, that kid, is strong, but..."

Karp was still somewhat incredulous.

"Karp, this news is absolutely true."

Sengoku looked at him and said, "Many people witnessed the two of them fighting for seven days on a floating island in the sky above the sea. The floating island collapsed, and the Golden Lion's body has been found. This matter has spread throughout the North Sea, and it should spread throughout the entire ocean by today."

"So... that boy really killed Shiki the Golden Lion?"

Lieutenant General Tsuru said in a daze, "He seems to be only 17 years old this year..."

Aokiji's eyes flickered slightly. Of all those present, he was probably the one who knew Ron's strength best, and almost two years had passed since then.

If his strength were to increase by another level, coupled with his endless stream of techniques, he might indeed be able to kill Shiki the Golden Lion when he is not at his peak through continuous battles...

"I don't intend to understand that brat who keeps lingering at the gates of justice. I just want to know what he wants to discuss with us this time, or is he just here to tell us this?"

Akainu's cold voice rang out.

The others also looked at Sengoku, who was sitting in the main seat.

"Besides telling you this news, there is indeed something I want to discuss with you, and this matter... is also related to Ron."

The Warring States period voice, its glasses gleaming coldly, spoke solemnly.

"The World Government has received definitive information: Nico Robin, the ghost of Ohara, is currently in the North Blue, on the ship of that traveler Ron!"

Garp and Aokiji's eyes narrowed almost simultaneously.

"The World Government has ordered a bounty of 430 million Berries on Ron, who is harboring Nico Robin, for the crime of harboring a criminal!"

Codename: Traveler!

"Arrest and execute him and Nicole Robin immediately!"

Listening to the solemn words of the Warring States period.

Garp gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.

Qing Pheasant remained silent.

Lieutenant General Tsuru also frowned slightly.

A chilling glint flashed in Akainu's eyes beneath his hat brim.

"Those who linger at the threshold of justice, yet lack absolute righteousness in their hearts, will inevitably end up on the path of evil. That brat is definitely not worth nurturing."

"It's pointless to talk about this now."

Sengoku looked at Garp and said in a deep voice, "Garp, you need to take responsibility for this. Next, you and Sakazuki will lead six warships to the North Sea to capture the criminals Ron and Nico Robin!"

"Remember, this is an order directly issued by the World Government, and it is absolutely forbidden to disobey it!"

Garp clenched his fists, veins bulging on his forehead, and gritted his teeth.

…………

the next day.

While everyone was shocked by yesterday's big news and discussing who the traveler Ron really was, a large number of news-delivering gulls appeared in the sky again.

The newspaper column featured Ron, accompanied by a fairly clear photograph.

In the photo, a tall, slender young man in black stands in the air, holding a black knife and gazing coldly ahead.

This was probably captured during his fierce battle with the Golden Lion.

The fierce battle that lasted for seven days over the sea was a major event, attracting a large number of people, including pirates, naval personnel, intelligence agencies, and journalists.

There was also an article next to the photo.

The article describes in great detail how he became a special recruit trainee in the Navy at the age of 11, gave up his special recruit trainee title at the age of 14, left the Navy Headquarters, then left the Grand Line and returned to the East China Sea. He wandered around the East China Sea and inadvertently created the legend of the miracle ship. After that, he set off from the East China Sea to the South China Sea, then the West China Sea, and then the North China Sea.

Most of what he did around the world was reported in detail, even with embellishment.

But that's not the most shocking thing.

It was the text written in bold, blood-red font at the end of the report, along with two wanted posters.

"Traveler Ron, for harboring 'The Devil of Ohara' Nico Robin, has committed the crimes of harboring and plotting to cause chaos. He is now considered a criminal and a bounty is offered for his capture!"

"The bounty for Nico Robin, the Devil of Ohara, has been increased from 79 million Berries to 95 million Berries!"

"Ron the Traveler, captain of the ship of freedom and the unknown, wandering the distant seas and navigating the gray chaos! Bounty: —"

430 million Berry!!

"!!!"

The sea trembled once again at this news.

And its ferocity, even greater than yesterday, spread to the Grand Line, the four seas, and various parts of the New World.

121, The Focus of the Ocean! The Power of the Float-Float Fruit! (Two-in-One)

Chambord Islands.

Rayleigh was also somewhat taken aback when he learned of this news.

Although I could guess that the World Government guys would do some stupid things.

But he never expected that he could push Ron to the side of evil so quickly.

After all, he didn't know that Nicole Robin was on Ron's ship; this was something he hadn't anticipated.

"I heard that Akainu and Garp have set off for the North Blue together."

Xia Qi's voice was somewhat heavy.

“That’s normal. Since the World Government has given the order, and given the strength he demonstrated by forcefully killing Shiki the Golden Lion, Sengoku, being cautious, will definitely launch a swift and decisive attack to completely eliminate this hidden danger and threat.”

Rayleigh said, sipping his drink.

Will he be able to escape this calamity?

Xia Qi's voice carried a hint of worry.

Even though Ron killed Shiki, Shakky still didn't think he would be a match for either Akainu or Garp, let alone the two of them together.

Rayleigh stared at the bubbly shampoo in his glass, remained silent for a moment, and then said, "This time... it's probably all up to him."
