Chapter 711 Shocks the World! (2 in 1)

After Luffy learned the news about the main text of the road sign history, his whole state became obviously excited.

Originally, his understanding of becoming the Pirate King was very superficial. He simply thought that being a pirate was the freest "profession" in the world, where one could do whatever they wanted, and the Pirate King was the freest person in the world. And he, Luffy, wanted to be the freest person in the world.

Going to sea is just based on passion and yearning for freedom.

The crew members he recruited were simply based on his liking and fate. As for how to become the Pirate King, Luffy actually generally followed his instincts and took one step at a time.

But even so, since Luffy set out to sea, he has not made any mistakes in the general direction. After experiencing some storms and difficulties, their Straw Hat Pirates finally entered the New World smoothly, and are finally getting closer and closer to the great treasure they are looking for.

And today, Luffy learned the whereabouts of the Road Sign Historical Essay from Vivi, which made Luffy's goal become clearer. For Luffy, becoming the Pirate King has changed from a vague slogan to a real thing.

"Weiwei, do you think... we need to go back to Fishman Island?"

"Although we don't know whether the new navy will move the landmark on Fishman Island, it won't be a mistake to look for it on Fishman Island."

"If the new navy hadn't transferred that historical text, wouldn't we have..."

Luffy's little brain was finally able to think about serious matters. Although he knew that the landmarks of Fishman Island might have been moved by the new navy, Luffy still wanted to go back to Fishman Island to check it out.

Now, of the few pieces of historical texts they know, only two are clearly known and recognized by Luffy.

Luffy knows where Fishman Island and Banko are. If you give him a nautical chart, he can even quickly find these two places on the chart.

As for Zou Island and Wano Country...

Although Luffy had heard of these two places when he was in class at the Marine Headquarters, he didn't know how to get to them.

Moreover, these two islands are not even within the regular shipping routes of the New World.

Zou is located on the back of the Elephant Lord, a rare moving island in the ocean. The magnetic field pointer has no way to guide others to Zou, so over the years, there have been few outsiders to Zou. The existence of the Elephant Lord provides a natural barrier for Zou, making it difficult for ordinary people to reach it.

As for Wano Country, it is also not on the normal shipping route, and the ocean currents around Wano Country are abnormal, and there is also a natural chasm. Even the Whitebeard Pirates, who were able to travel around the world in the past, only entered Wano Country by chance, and when they entered, they encountered a shipwreck and looked so miserable...

Luffy didn't even know how to find these two places, let alone know anything about them.

Therefore, what the Straw Hat Pirates can currently strive for and plan for are only the other two red road sign texts that are exposed.

"The text of the red road sign..."

"Come to think of it, I seem to have seen it in the newspaper when I was a kid..."

Usopp seemed not to have heard the conversation between Luffy and Vivi. At this moment, he lowered his head and thought about it, his face full of hesitation, as if he had really thought of something.

When the others saw him like this, they all looked at him sideways. After Usopp's reminder, Franky seemed to have thought of something: "Hey!"

"Now that you mention it, I remember that there seemed to be a photo published in the newspaper back then!"

"It even caused a big sensation at the time, but those newspapers were soon confiscated!"

"Usopp, I also remember what you said!"

Usopp's "impression" was verified by Franky, and several other crew members were also stunned when they heard about this in the newspaper.

"Newspaper?! How could a newspaper publish the text of the Road Sign History? The World Government was too busy hiding it, so how could it possibly report it?"

Vivi was extremely surprised. She had no impression of this incident, but Usopp and Franky's sure expressions made her believe them.

This is also because of Vivi's birth. In order to prevent his daughter from being exposed to the dangers of this world too early, her father protected Vivi to the utmost. Later, the Kingdom of Alabasta was blocked by the World Government, and information from the outside world was no longer circulated. It was not until this time that the old lord King Cobra told Vivi everything he knew about the royal family.

This is also the so-called "royal inheritance".

Although this inheritance was of no use to Vivi at the time, and could not change Vivi's living conditions at the time, some of the secrets circulating in the Kingdom of Alabasta did play some role after Vivi went to sea.

"Yes! Weiwei."

"But Weiwei, you are right. The World Government will certainly not allow such reports to circulate in this world. Not long after the newspaper appeared, it was completely confiscated."

"And the people who publish those newspapers are not the World Government, but the New Navy!"

Franky looked serious, but when he said this, he couldn't help but look a little disappointed:

"But what's the point of saying this now..."

"That newspaper has been there for who knows how many years. Who still keeps that kind of old newspaper?!"

"And it was confiscated by the World Government's order, so it has long been lost..."

Franky's tone was full of regret and emotion, but the eyes of Vivi, Nami and Sanji became brighter.

"It's not impossible to find it, Franky, do you know where this is?!"

As Sanji spoke, he made a cup of coffee from the stove, slowly walked to the dining table, and looked like he had everything under control.

"Hmm? Reedchiled Island, what's going on?"

Sanji shook his head when he heard that and said, "Yes and no."

"This is Redchiled Island, yes, but more importantly, this is a new world!"

"When the New Navy published a newspaper like that, it was simply hoping to anger the World Government and the Navy Headquarters."

"In fact... I remember that they achieved their goal. After that newspaper was published, the World Government ordered the Navy Headquarters to attack Bankoku. At that time, the leader of Bankoku was not the New Navy, but a big pirate named BIGMOM."

"After that, the kingdom changed hands, and that great pirate disappeared from this world."

Although what Sanji knew was incomplete, he had more or less restored some historical truths.

The other members of the Straw Hat Pirates listened in fascination, and after realizing that the new navy might use such means to cause a conflict between the headquarters of the navy and the big pirate, and then seize the Ten Thousand Nations from it, they were speechless for a while, and were all shocked by what Sanji said.

Although they are not very experienced in the world, they understand how many people's hearts are moved by the great secret treasure. Over the years, countless pirates have fought for this great secret treasure in order to obtain wealth and status that rivals the world.

As the key to Raftel, the road sign is bound to be the target of countless pirates. The new navy actually used such a thing to make the navy headquarters and the pirates attack each other for their own benefit. This kind of planning and courage really opened the eyes of several young people.

"Since the New Navy had Wan Guo as its base, its strength has grown like a rocket. In just a few years, they have become the undisputed overlord of the New World." "The leaders of the New Navy are not only strong in their strength."

Coby continued with Sanji's words. When talking about the deeds of the New Navy, this guy's eyes revealed a strong admiration and yearning. His goal has always been to become a navy. For this reason, Coby also did some homework and knew a lot about the navy and the history of the New Navy.

The topic entered an area that he was familiar with, and Coby started talking.

"Luffy, you must think this through carefully!"

"The new navy will certainly preserve the text of the Red Road Sign after obtaining it. I'm afraid that all nations are also on high alert for this."

"It's different from the time at Fishman Island! If we cause any trouble in Wano Country, the new navy will definitely hunt us down!"

"That's their headquarters. Let's not talk about whether we can get in successfully. Even if we get in, we may not be able to get out. Even if we get out, we may not be able to escape the pursuit of the new navy."

"Luffy, you can't be stupid!"

Coby looked earnest, and his words showed that he hoped Luffy would give up. The other companions also had frowns on their faces at this moment, but unlike Coby, they were all thinking about how to get the text of the Landmark History from the New Navy.

After a long while, Luffy, who felt the atmosphere was somewhat depressing, suddenly smiled and said to Vivi:

"Weiwei, you haven't answered me yet. Do you think it's necessary for us to go back to Fishman Island?"

"If there is no need to go back, then let's go directly to Wanguo!"

"After all, these are the only two places we know of that have the main text of the road sign history!"

Luffy's tone was light, and his words helped to ease the depressing atmosphere a little.

Upon hearing this, Vivi looked at Luffy with some concern. Noticing that the other party did not show any abnormality, she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

She was worried that the enemy was too powerful and Luffy would give up and never recover in the face of such a strong enemy. But now it seems that Luffy is still the same Luffy, and no matter what difficulties he faces, he will not give up his goal.

"In my opinion, there is no need to go to Fishman Island to search for it at this stage."

"Since the historical text has fallen into the hands of the New Navy, Wan Guo will definitely have news of the historical text."

"Apart from anything else, doesn't the new navy have any intention of deciphering the historical text?!"

"There must be relevant records in the database of Wan Guo."

"and……"

"Luffy, you want to become the Pirate King, right?!"

"Since we want to become the Pirate King and find the great treasure, that means we must obtain all the red historical texts and decipher them. We can't avoid the Ten Thousand Nations no matter what."

"Since we can't get around it, let's just explore the most difficult part first!"

Vivi's decisiveness at this moment was even beyond the reach of the other boys present. After experiencing the great changes in the Kingdom of Alabasta, Vivi's character had a stronger tone.

This is also one of the biggest reasons why Luffy recruited Vivi to join the ship. He likes Vivi's resistance and thinks it suits her temperament.

"Ok!"

"If that's the case! It's decided!"

"Set sail to all nations!!!"

Luffy was also decisive and made the decision directly. While speaking, he stuffed the last few pieces of meat on the plate into his stomach, then jumped up from his seat and rushed directly to the door. He slammed the fence with both hands and shouted at the empty deck in front of Qian Qian:

“Let’s sail!!!”

Luffy's shouts echoed on the sea, the sea breeze caressed, the waves gently hit the hull of the Sunny, the crew members walked out of the house one after another and came to Luffy, everyone's face was full of anticipation and excitement for the next adventure, even Coby, when he saw Luffy make the decision, chose to silently support him.

Before Luffy makes a decision, the crew members will each have their own ideas, whether they agree or disagree, in short, they can speak freely in front of Luffy, but after Luffy makes a decision, no matter it is wise or foolish, everyone will choose to support it.

This may be Luffy's innate personal charm.

Or maybe...it was the charisma of Joyboy...

When the Straw Hat Pirates were preparing to leave the port, a few seagulls flew across the sky at the right time.

"Pah!" With a slight sound, a thick roll of newspaper fell from the sky and hit the deck not far from the crowd.

Nami walked over when she heard the sound, picked up the newspaper on the ground, spread it out and took a quick look at it, and her face suddenly changed.

“This… How is this possible!!!”

Nami's exclamation also attracted the other crew members to gather around curiously. There was a crowd of people behind Nami, and they all looked at the newspaper in Nami's hand.

"What happened Nami?"

The gentleman Sanji was pushed outside and could only ask out loud.

"The New Navy and the Navy Headquarters have been merged into one!"

Nami murmured, but what she said was just the tip of the iceberg of what was said in the newspaper.

The news of the merger of the new navy and the navy headquarters was published in the newspaper. At the same time, Tsugikuni Yoshiichi also resumed his status as admiral of the navy headquarters and was even appointed as the commander-in-chief of the navy by Sengoku.

On this basis, the Navy Headquarters, through the terrifying influence of Yoriichi Tsugakuni, announced that from today onwards, the Navy Headquarters will take the lead in the collection of Tenjo gold worldwide. At the same time, some regulations for the Navy to collect Tenjo gold were also attached.

This thick roll of newspaper, except for the front page, is all about the specific policies and details of paying the Heavenly Gold.

And the photo on the front page was actually a photo of the long-lost Tsugikuni Yoshiichi being re-commissioned at the Navy Headquarters.

The cool and handsome face took up one-third of the page of the newspaper.

Nami is one of the most knowledgeable people on the ship, so she naturally knows what impact Yoshiichi Tsugakuni's return to the Marine Headquarters will have on the world.
