Pirate, I am the demon fox that brings disaster to the world!

"Hey, hey, hey! Did you hear that?! The World Government is actually planning to join forces with the pirates of the Grand Line to attack the New World! This is unprecedented big news!"

"World Government? United pirates?! How is this possible? Are the bigwigs in Mary Geoise crazy, or are the pirates mentally ill? No matter what, they can't possibly be the ones who do everything, right?"

"Tsk! Of course it's true! How could I lie to you? That corrupted rear admiral from the North Sea—Red Flag Drake! That guy who betrayed the navy is now heading to Chambord!

If the World Government can accept a traitor, why can't others?

I heard that anyone who is willing to participate can go to the New World via Mary Geoise's Island Cloud Elevator, and can even get a share of the profits after defeating the Pirate Kingdom in the New World. Many guys are now eager to try!

That's the New World! It's supposed to be a paradise open to everyone, but those guys in the New World treat it like their own backyard! I can't accept that! "

"But... isn't this incredible? The World Government teaming up with pirates? Tsk tsk tsk, it seems that after losing control of the New World for eight years, the bigwigs in the Holy Land are getting a little impatient!"

"Who says it isn't? But in my opinion, it's better for us little guys to stay back. The navy is the main force in attacking the New World, and those pirates who are in the limelight might just be used as swordsmen!

Don't you understand the style of the World Government?"

"That's true, but a guy like Drake would probably have full confidence in his own abilities, right? Even if he were used as a swordsman, he would be able to break free—"

Fortune and wealth are sought in danger. After cooperating with the World Government, the success rate of defeating the Four Emperors will undoubtedly be much higher. Perhaps we will soon see someone replace them! "

A week later, similar conversations could be heard in almost every tavern on every island. In fact, even the Five Elders were shocked by Im's decision. After all, cooperating with pirates would damage the dignity of the World Government and was not in line with the creed of "justice." Many voices of opposition were raised within the Navy.

However, if you think about it a little, you will understand that this is just a simple application of the Seven Warlords system (although the Seven Warlords are now in name only).

On the surface, they are giving favors to these pirates, but in fact they are working for the World Government. And unlike the Seven Warlords of the Sea who are difficult to control, the pirates of the Grand Line are undoubtedly much less threatening. Driven by interests, they will be used by Im as a not-so-sharp knife as expected, and can be discarded at any time.

As for the adverse effects caused by this... Im naturally wouldn't care. After all, when the World Government re-enters the New World and these pirates have disappeared, these questioning voices will also disappear.

Moreover, the more important thing about everything she did was to attract Luffy and others whose lives were in danger. For this purpose, she even added the historical text of the signpost that was once "stolen" from Inazuma as a gimmick into the game. If the other party really yearned for onepiece, then they would definitely take the bait.

"A road sign?... This kind of writing looks really familiar."

Between the patterns and colors, Yim looked at the rubbings in his hands, feeling a little nostalgic, but also inevitably a hint of sarcasm.

Ancient text, perhaps only O'Hara can understand it in this era, but as an ancient existence from eight hundred years ago, how could I, who was once a close friend of the owner of this body, not understand the meaning behind it?

That's right, these rubbings are fake. They are a document randomly compiled by Nico Robin in order to fool herself, but apart from herself and the other party, who else knows that it is fake?

If everyone believes it's true, then what difference does it make? As long as it can achieve your goal, it's fine.

"The final island, Raftel, was once a lost island that almost no one cared about due to my deliberate concealment. However, due to my carelessness, the D clan was able to arrive, and their execution caused an uproar among countless people.

Now, the user of the Nika Fruit seems to be aiming for this as well, and the convergence of the main text of the signpost history is unprecedentedly down to only the last piece of the puzzle - it seems that it is time to make the final cut.

The eyes of the king are always watching every corner of this sea..."

In the room, as Im's thoughts flowed, the lilies were swaying leisurely and quietly, and the maid who had been silently serving him had disappeared at some point.

Over the past eight hundred years, the contract between the soul and the gods has become too deep. Even though he once planned to create a clone as a container to walk on the earth, it ultimately failed.

Only a truly compatible soul can carry one's own arrival. After the experiment failed, only the princess of a fallen country who was accidentally picked up from the Valley of Gods has this qualification.

In that case, let her help me retrieve the real signpost. At the critical moment, even if I have to come here in person, I must achieve the goal. In this way, she can obtain the coordinates of Raftel earlier and give me the divine punishment again!

------------

At the same time, in the Seven Waters City.

A week has passed since the crash from Sky Island, and Luffy and the others have rested in Water Seven for three days.

In fact, facing the continuous consumption of the Knights of God, it is always an unsolvable proposition if they do not master the attack method of Conqueror's Haki. Especially after the arrival of the other two Knights of God, the airship of the group was also damaged, and retreat became the only option. Under the layers of siege at that time, returning to Qinghai was also the only way out.

As for why Luffy and others were able to survive falling from a height of 10,000 meters, it can only be said that Luffy's mind was still very sharp at the critical moment -

Relying on its rubber structure, it continuously expands its body, inhaling and exhaling huge amounts of air, providing continuous cushioning for the entire airship. This is how it can barely curb the speed of everyone's fall so that they don't faint or even injure their internal organs the moment they fall into the sea.

But even so, the airship they were riding was completely scrapped. Later, it was Zoro and Sanji, two people without fruit abilities, who dragged the three people and the deer out of the sea, and finally arrived at the Water Seven City by walking on the moon steps all the way.

"You guys are really bold! Don't you know that your bounty has increased recently?

Going to the largest shipyard under the World Government at this time would be disastrous if someone discovered us!"

At the edge of Water Seven City, at Franky's House, Franky, dressed in a perverted outfit, was saying this.

In fact, as early as when Luffy and others secretly landed on the edge of the island, Franky's brothers who were working on shipbreaking noticed these pirates who had become famous. With the intention of making a fortune, they even made a rough plan to catch them all in one fell swoop.

The result is obvious. These little brothers, along with Franky who came after hearing the noise, were easily knocked to the ground. As compensation for attacking several people, Franky also promised to help everyone build a new ship and temporarily use Franky's House as a base to accommodate Luffy and others.

But at this time, he obviously regretted placing them here. If Luffy and others were exposed, Franky's House would probably not end well.

"Hehehe~ Sorry, sorry, as soon as the ship is built, we will leave immediately and head to the New World!

But would you like to be our partner? We are still short of a shipwright!"

Hearing this, Luffy immediately smiled and looked at Franky expectantly, his eyes full of expectations.

"Partner? You want me to come aboard and become a pirate with you? That's an interesting idea, but unfortunately, I can't leave just yet!"

Franky waved his hand casually and said meaningfully.

"But we can be said to have known each other for a long time. You are different from the pirates I have met before. You are all 'weird' guys. Perhaps you can be a registered subordinate in Franky's House?

That way I can add some new gadgets to your ship~"

As he spoke, Franky couldn't help but become quite interested. As the world's largest shipyard, Water 7 naturally undertook the manufacturing of some of the World Government's airships - this was the project that the icy mayor was most concerned about at the moment.

As Tom's disciple and junior fellow student, Franky naturally shamelessly went to visit the new shipyard.

You wouldn't know until you see it, and you'd be shocked. Perhaps the energy source of the ship was different, but from the construction of the airship, he could see some shadows of "Pluto"?!

When he realized this, he immediately checked the Pluto blueprints he had kept to prevent any accidents. However, after knowing that this was a ship designed by Vegapunk, Franky immediately dispelled his doubts.

So that's it, it's Vegapunk. With his genius, it's not surprising that he came up with such a design. After all, the truth is always the same~ Franky couldn't help but have this thought.

In any case, Franky also gained new inspiration from the manufacture of the airship. After seeing Luffy, a pirate group full of potential, he couldn't help but want to repeat the story of Master Tom - to build a super pirate ship for a pirate group that may become a legend!

In this way, it can be regarded as a commemoration of Master Tom, right?

"Then without further ado, let's get on with our shipbuilding business! After so many years of shipbreaking, I've amassed a considerable amount of superb wood! Open your eyes and witness my superb skills!"
