Chapter 484 Under the Flowers

The world's number one martial arts tournament in Dressrosa is in full swing. As time goes by, more and more visitors will come from all over the world, until the stars shine brightly, and the two top spots will be decided! ~

Qinghai Sky List!

Qinghai Star List!

I heard that some of the remnants of Roger's pirate group gathered in Dressrosa. I don't know who invited them or why, but they joined the battle between the two lists.

With the strength of veteran strongmen like Silvers Rayleigh and Spark Jabba still at their peak, there will be no problem for them to compete for a very high seat on the Star List.

Not only that, during the battle between the two lists, countless talented players emerged. These people were not well-known in normal times, but they shined in the battle between the two lists, stepping on the names of many veteran strongmen to get to the top. Among them was a natural fruit ability user named Crocodile, who was extremely powerful.

Not to mention anything else, just the two of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Bubble Man and Chain Man, were completely brought down by Crocodile, causing quite a shock.

After Crocodile defeated these two Shichibukai in succession, he actually publicly threatened to challenge the strongest of the Sky List, and even directly targeted the legendary pirate Whitebeard. This extremely arrogant statement immediately attracted a lot of criticism. Whitebeard's children were filled with righteous indignation, and some even directly beat Crocodile, beating him so hard that his parents couldn't recognize him.

Doflamingo is at the center, stabilizing the overall situation, and is increasingly showing the demeanor of a leader in the underworld. Now Doflamingo's words are almost final in the underworld, and Ten Yasha has completely transformed into a qualified black glove for Lex.

Roy exercises most of the authority in Qinghai on behalf of Lex, and Gut is now mainly responsible for the pirate alliance and trade chain blueprint of the New World.

With the tacit cooperation between the two and the assistance of countless professionals under their command, a healthy ecological chain with internal circulation has long been formed, which continuously provides resource support and Bailey support for the huge forces under Lex.

Otherwise, Lex could have held such an expensive, large-scale feast like the World's No. 1 Martial Arts Tournament with just one word, and it could have been held on such a large scale and for such a long time.

Behind it all is Bailey, who consumes astronomical amounts of money every day! ~

Even Mary Geoise doesn't have this kind of confidence.

In the King's Highlands, little Yunxiu was eating to his heart's content on Dressrosa with his two aunts, Benny and Stussy. Unlike Gion, Benny and Stussy did not strictly control Yunxiu's snacks every day. Following the two rich aunts, Yunxiu was able to enjoy a few days of happiness.

Oleini has recently been following Shanuo to learn about Shanuo's development of natural fruits. After all, strictly speaking, the Dark-Dark Fruit can also be considered a natural fruit. Although it cannot be elementalized, the Dark-Dark Fruit has everything that the natural fruit has, and it is more prominent.

Xia Nuo is undoubtedly the strongest person with the highest attainments in the natural system in this sea, and the only strong person in the natural system on the Qinghai Sky List. You can imagine how valuable Xia Nuo is.

In Xia Nuo's own words, "In this era of the strongest, you can call me the Swift Wind Swordsman, but in the past, every one of you would have to call me the Wind God!"

It was very rare that no one refuted what Xia Nuo said at that time, because this boastful idiot, regardless of his IQ, was indeed the strongest natural-type in Qinghai's history, and a top swordsman with three colors of domineering power. The three natural-type monsters of the navy were simply weak in front of Xia Nuo.

Oleni is very good at talking. He always praises Uncle Shanuo as invincible. Uncle Shanuo's insightful words directly praise Shanuo to the sky. Shanuo now regards Oleni as a friend regardless of age. If it weren't for the seniority, Shanuo would almost pull Oleni to become sworn brothers.

……

Leaving Dressrosa, Rex and Gion set foot on the land of the South Sea.

South China Sea · Batirila Island——

The sea breeze blew through the palm trees, the stream clouds intertwined in the blue sky, and seagulls flew across the sky and landed on the eaves of a small stone courtyard by the sea.

Lex took Gion by the hand, and the two of them strolled slowly here. Lex sighed:

"Among the people I admire most in my life, besides my master, uncle, and father, there's only Roger. It just so happens that the four of them were legendary pirates from the previous era. Perhaps it's fate. It's precisely because they all overcame all obstacles and reached the pinnacle of their time that they deserve admiration."

Gion's lips curled up slightly, and he continued, "The ones I admire are General Kong and Sister Tsuru. Compared to Marshal Sengoku, Vice Admiral Garp, and Mr. Zephyr, General Kong and Sister Tsuru's military careers are more consistent. They have neither excessive compromises nor concessions, nor the laziness and evasion that soldiers should have."

Lex looked at the two figures, one large and one small, in the stone courtyard not far away and nodded slightly.

"Positions cannot be changed, but human nature is universal."

"The new era that Roger ushered in with his own life has been met with both approval and criticism. Even I, too, cannot escape the scrutiny of the Qinghai people. Roger and I don't dwell on our reputation or our posthumous reputation. We simply want to do what we want to do, just as we promised on that summer night at the summit of Arpaillardo. I will carry his share with us, and together we will witness this era."

Gion listened attentively, then his eyes drifted towards the stone courtyard that was getting closer and closer.

In the courtyard, a blonde woman with freckles on her cheeks was smiling and hanging clothes on a bamboo pole under the bright sunshine. A chubby little boy was jumping around behind her, sometimes pulling at his mother's skirt, sometimes teasing the insects in the cracks of the rocks, and he was never able to sit still for a moment.

The blonde woman is Portgas D. Luju.

The chubby little boy is Gol D. Ace, his last name is that of his late father.

"Mom! There's someone there!"

Little Ace's face is like his mother's, with cute freckles, but his bone structure is like his father's, with the toughness and elegance of a sea man.

Lu Jiu's eyes narrowed, and she looked vigilantly in the direction of Little Ace's finger, then stood there in a daze. She didn't even notice that the clothes on her arms were blown to the ground by the sea breeze. She just looked at the figures of Lex and Gion.

She recognized the visitor immediately. Roger had told her about them more than once, and she had seen them in the newspaper more than once. However, she still found it hard to believe:

"You...are?"

Lex smiled slightly, and Gion smiled sweetly with the same good intentions.

"Well, we are Roger's friends. I'm Leon Lex and this is my love, Ugetsu Gion."

Lu Jiu immediately raised her hands, covered her cheeks, and burst into tears: "Roger..."

Since the rainy night when she quarreled with Roger, Lu Jiu never saw Roger again. The last time was when the World Government live broadcast the execution in front of the entire ocean. Lu Jiu watched her lover being executed in public.

The world was only paying attention to the beginning of the great era of Pingding Shenglei Tianguang, but only Lu Jiu's eyes were always fixed on Roger's body lying in a pool of blood.

The flowers have fallen, and the rest of the king's life has come to an end. After the sea breeze has passed, there is still a helpless mother and son who are lonely and helpless.
