One Piece: Rise of an Empire

"Captain, I see the island."

Hela held the binoculars and said to the people who were chatting in the hall.

Hearing Hela's words, everyone walked out of the hall.

"Where is it? Let me see," Des said.

Des took a telescope and looked into the distance.

There are indeed islands.

As the distance got closer, Des could clearly see the edge of the island.

"Hey, there won't be many countries on this island, why are there so many flags?" Des said to everyone.

At this time, Linlin took the telescope.

"No, these seem to be the Pirate Flag," Linlin said.

"Why are there so many pirate flags on the island?" Levi asked.

"If I'm not mistaken, the island ahead should not be that simple." Des said with a serious face.

When everyone heard Des's words, there were black lines on their faces.

You seem to have said nothing, and it seems that you have said something.

"However, the soldiers will block the water and cover it with soil. We have nothing to fear and set off towards the island."

Following Des's words, the speed of flying over the Dream became faster and faster.

………………

"Sure enough, they are all pirate flags, but why are there so many pirate flags hanging here?"

"How do I feel that it means a demonstration?" Levy said.

"Forget about that, let's get off the boat and have a look."

Except for the two chefs, all the people got off the ship. Since supplies had already been replenished on the last island, there was no need to replenish anything at the moment, so the two of them simply stayed on the ship with nothing to do.

Soon everyone came to the place where the pirate flag was hoisted.

Just when Des was going to take a pirate flag to see, someone stopped Des.

"Are you pirates?" At this moment a man suddenly appeared and asked.

"Yeah, hello, why are there so many pirate flags here?" Des asked.

"Hehe, these are our trophies, but soon your pirate flag may also hang on it."

When the man finished speaking, many people appeared around him and surrounded Des people.

This group of men held wooden weapons in their hands. Looking at Des and the others, Des could feel that there was no fear in their eyes, but a kind of excitement.

excited?

"Hey, we didn't do anything, right? Surrounding us is your way of hospitality?" Linlin said.

Everyone who surrounded them was very strong, when a man walked over from the encirclement.

"We definitely have our rules. I will give you two options. The first is to leave immediately. The second is to follow our rules."

"What rules do you have?" Des asked.

"This rule is set up for you pirates, and it is also the rule of our nation. Our nation likes to fight. You send five people, we send five people, and three wins out of five games. If we win, you can leave the pirate flag here and join us. If you win, you can take away the five people from our side."

Hearing this kind of competition, Levy was the first to become interested.Said to the person, "When will it start? I can't wait"

Linlin looked at Levi who had already entered the state, with black lines all over her face. For this fighter, let's analyze the pros and cons first.Sometimes the battle isn't worth fighting.

But before Linlin came, Des spoke first.

"Your nation is really interesting, but can you only take five people away? Can you take away more? For example, take you all away?" Des said.

Des can feel that everyone surrounding them is not weak. Compared with ordinary pirates, these people are already strong.

"Of course you can take more. Our nation worships the strong. If you pass our celebration test, you can become our patriarch. If you become the patriarch, you can take all of us away."

"Then how do you become the patriarch?" Des asked.

"You came at the right time. Our national celebration will start tomorrow. As long as you pass our national ladder and finally defeat our current patriarch, you can become our patriarch."

"Where is that? Let's get started."

Linlin still had too much hope for Des in her heart, this person is also a fighting madman, but Linlin scanned the fighting power of these people, the leader is actually A-level, and everyone else is B-level, and looking at so many Pirate Flags, this nation should be very strong.

"You don't need to worry, it seems that you are planning to challenge our national ladder, so go to our tribe to participate in our celebration first."

Afterwards, the strong man introduced himself to the crowd. His name was Sinla, and their people were called Srona.

Xinla is just a small leader of their nation, and they are not ranked side by side here, which surprised Des. After all, Xinla was considered a strong person in the first half of the great route, but he was not very strong here, which made him even more curious about this nation.

Soon, Xin La brought them to their tribe. This tribe is full of primitive atmosphere, but the people here are dressed very close to the outside world.

After Xinla explained, because of the increase of pirates, their clothes and supplies were all taken from pirates.Because their nation is close to the windless belt, they fight against sea kings all the year round, so people's bodies are extraordinarily strong.

At this time Xin La led them to a tent.Before Des went in, Des heard the words inside.

"Master Patriarch, no one is qualified to challenge you in this year's celebration"

A strong man leaned over and said to the person sitting in the seat.

"Oh, how could it be? I am very disappointed that our nation has not produced a decent strong man in the past few years."

Xinla told them that the leader of the Srona nation would give up his original name and be called Srona.

It's clear that this generation of Srona is the one in the seat.

"Master Patriarch, I brought some pirates here, they want to participate in the celebration and challenge you," Xin La said outside the tent.

This time of year is the celebration of the Srona clan. Only at this time, people can challenge the patriarch. The Srona clan does not exclude foreigners and only worships the strong. Even if outsiders succeed in the challenge, they can also become the patriarch.

"Oh? It's someone from the outside world, come in."

Under the leadership of Xin La, everyone in Des entered the tent. The tent was not very luxurious, only simple stone tables and wooden stools.

Srona asked everyone in Des to sit down and said to everyone, "Hello outsiders, are you sure you want to participate in our patriarch's celebration?"

"Yes, Your Excellency Srona, what are the conditions for participating in the ceremony?"

At this time, Srona explained to everyone, "This year's national ladder has twelve steps, which are me, my eleven and the guards. You only need to defeat us, but you can also find people to form a team, but the number cannot exceed our number. Because the patriarch can only be strong."

"What is the patriarch going to do?"

"The patriarch's words. To lead our clan to glory, our clan has a total of 3000 people, excluding a group of old people and children. There are a total of [-] fighters. The patriarch wants to lead us to become stronger"

"You don't have women here?"

"We Srona family, women are not weak"

"Okay, I want this patriarch," Des said with a smile.

"Your Excellency is not yet the patriarch. Not everyone can challenge the celebration, Ola," Srona said to the guard next to him.

Ola heard Srona's order and walked directly towards Des. It has to be said that the people of this nation are all unbelievably strong. The average height should be [-] meters, and their bodies are full of explosive muscles.

Des also saw women when passing by. Women are relatively better, but they are also muscular. I don't know what it is like when they stimulate the battlefield.
