One Piece: General Xuanming, Defeat the New World

The capital of flowers, the treasure house of the Kozuki family.

There was a sound of landing silently, and the Kazekage in a pink kimono flashed to the door of the Kozuki family's treasury.

Looking ahead, Fengying was stumped as to how to sneak in.

Inside the awe-inspiring underground cave, a gigantic bronze door stretched before one's eyes, weighing at least 100,000 kilograms. Elitely trained warrior teams were patrolling back and forth on both sides.

Hiding in the shadow at the entrance, Fengying held the scroll in his mouth and lay on the ground like a civet cat. His eyes under the mask rotated gently as he thought about how to break the impasse.

Even if there were no guards, even if the key could be obtained, simply pushing this huge bronze door would be a problem, not to mention the layers of guards in front.

The warriors in the lead were big and strong, holding swords with sharp gleams in their hands, with sharp muscles on their bodies, as if they contained infinite power. The strong aura and the looming bloody feeling of these people made Fengying feel a little threatened.

Thanks to the ninja's sensitivity to aura, the Kazekage could almost instantly determine the strength of both sides. In a one-on-one fight, he would surely win. But facing them all alone, he would have no chance of survival.

With this in mind, Fengying completely restrained his breath, quietly floating on the wet rocky ground, trying to observe the guards' intelligence.

Fengying never thought that he could succeed in one go at a place like the treasure house of Flower City. The first action was just to gather information. It would be a surprise if he could succeed. Otherwise, as long as he didn't expose himself, it wouldn't be considered a failure.

……

On the other side, the Roger Pirates have already set out on the road from Kuri to the Flower Capital.

At this time, Wano Country was not the hell on earth that it would become during Kaido's rule in the future, with abandoned factories everywhere, severely polluted rivers, and large tracts of wasteland.

Although it cannot be called a fairyland, most places are connected by roads and paths, and people live in the field with slash-and-burn farming. Farmers drive oxen to work in the fields, and children play and fight in the fields.

"Roger, this place is really nice! Isn't it much more comfortable than being on the sea?"

Jabba carried his battle axe and looked at the comfortable life around him. He felt that the entire pirate group was out of tune with the surroundings.

Obviously, in Jabba's eyes, the people around him were weaklings who could be crushed to death with one hand, but at this moment he inexplicably felt a sense of alienation and discomfort.

Yes, the pirates who live on the edge of a knife have long been accustomed to the killing and blood on the sea that have penetrated deep into their souls and engraved into their bones. How can they adapt to the farming life that has lasted for thousands of years?

Of course, the most important thing is the situation. Just like the ancient literati, only when they fail in officialdom will they truly yearn for a pastoral life. The same is true for Jabba. In recent years, Roger's pirate group has been in trouble.

He was also beaten up by Garp in Paradise, and later had dozens of conflicts of varying sizes with other pirate groups in the New World, and also had a clash with Whitebeard.

Along the way, due to Roger's physical condition, he had to be tolerant most of the time. Naturally, such a trip would not make people happy.

Plus, he had just been beaten up by Zhan Guo and had a narrow escape from death, so as long as there was no danger, Jabba would think everything was good.

"That's true, Jabba. We have come across many islands like this in our previous travels around the world. They are ordinary and common, but they have their own unique flavor."

Next to Jabba, Roger, wearing wooden clogs, also sighed.

"When we finish our adventure, maybe I'll find a place like this and spend the rest of my life in peace."

At this time, Roger did not know the final secret. Although he had already guessed it, Roger insisted on going to the final island just to carry out his will for "freedom".

Therefore, at this time, Roger did not have the will or idea to die heroically in the future.

"This is Wano Country. When Wano Country opens to the sea in the future, it is destined to become even more beautiful!"

Kozuki Oden stretched out his arms and felt the breeze blowing.

"When the time comes, Brother Roger, you can come to Wano Country. I will assign you a manor. It will be so nice to be free then!"

Oden laughed a few times and looked at the plants and trees around him. When he had an argument with Kozuki Sukiyaki before, he saw that everything was not going well in Wano Country and just wanted to leave Wano Country as soon as possible.

Coming back this time, I actually had a somewhat different feeling.

After Kozuki Oden, most of the other crew members of Roger's pirate group also expressed their feelings. Among them, the ship's doctor Crocus even picked several herbs from the surroundings, believing that these medicines would be very effective in treating Roger's illness.

In Kulokas's opinion, there are three ways to cure Roger at this time. The first is the surgery fruit. If he can obtain the surgery fruit, he can naturally cure him with his own medical skills.

However, the difficulty of obtaining the surgery fruit from the vast ocean can be imagined. Even if the function of the "eternal life surgery" has not yet spread, the top-level superhuman fruit that only involves space is also priceless.

The second one is the old saying "Within three steps, there must be an antidote". If Kulokas could personally study the weapon that could injure Roger, he might have other insights. But this is obviously impossible.

Finally, he visited famous doctors on those isolated islands. The essence of Roger's illness was the loss of vitality that could not be locked. The older and more isolated the island was, the more vitality the herbs there contained. Only in this way could there be a glimmer of hope.

In this way, the Roger Pirates continued to move forward, talking and laughing.

……

"Captain Roger, Captain Roger, something terrible has happened!!!"

About half a day later, little Bucky suddenly ran over, holding a newspaper in his hand, gasping for breath.

"Wahahaha Buggy, what happened, don't panic!"

Roger laughed and took the newspaper from his hand. He then reached out and started to randomly scratch Bucky's hair. Soon, Bucky's hair had been turned into a bird's nest by Roger.

It is worth mentioning that the newspaper in Buggy's hand is not from the World Economic News. In an isolated place like Wano Country, although the World Economic News is also capable of finding out news, it will not distribute newspapers in such places.

After all, the cost is too high and the benefits do not outweigh the costs.

In Buggy's hand was a local newspaper of the city ahead. Buggy and Shanks were always running in front, claiming to be playing but actually exploring the way.

In case there is any strong enemy ahead, the two children will not attract the opponent's attention. It makes no sense for the top combat power to attack two children for no reason.

Ordinary samurai are no match for Shanks, and with Roger's observation Haki locking on them, the two children will not be in any danger.

"Let me see what little Bucky found."

After satisfying his desire, Roger took his hand away from Bucky's head amid Bucky's resentful look and shifted his attention to the newspaper.

"Admiral Xuanming arrived in Wano Country and reached a cooperation with the Daimyo???"

Just the one line in the title made Roger's face change drastically.
