One Piece: General Xuanming, Defeat the New World

On the Shuixianxing Island, Shiqi and Carsent sat opposite each other.

On the beautifully carved wooden table in the center and on the pure gold plates were apples and grapes with water droplets on them, as well as cold but still fragrant braised beef, lamb legs and various meats.

Carsent sat on the chair provided by Sky, with a slight twitch at the corners of his mouth.

"Shiki, your devil fruit is really good!"

Seeing with his own eyes that food would fall from the sky just by Shiki waving his hand, Carsent could only say that the Float-Float Fruit had been developed to the extreme by Shiki.

There was even a moment when Carsent wanted to step on the moon cloth and go into the clouds in the sky to see how much Shiqi had stored in the sky.

"These foods were prepared by Manhart for me before I left!"

Shi Ji waved his hand again, and the wine jug floated up out of thin air, filling the glasses in front of the two people with wine.

Faced with all this, Carson didn't know what to say. Who could have guessed that Ski would have the same conditions as a vacation when he came to Shuixianxing Island.

There were tables and chairs, as well as various vegetables and meats. Carsent even felt that it was no big deal if there was a palace hidden in the sky.

Thanks to the characteristics of the Float-Float Fruit, maintaining an object in a floating state consumes almost no physical energy for Shiki.

In other words, as long as Ski is willing, he can store enough things in the sky, such as millions of tons of sea water, or an entire continent, or even meteorites or even more terrifying things.

"This Floating Fruit is really versatile!"

Carsent picked up the wine glass, drank the sake in the glass in one gulp, and began to praise.

"If I can choose, I once thought that Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit was more suitable for me. As for now, I am more interested in your devil fruit!"

Shiqi also picked up his glass and responded casually.

This is no joke. The invincible defense and destructive power of the Xuanwu form in the frontal battlefield really makes Shiqi jealous.

In addition, even though the King of the West Sea's Kraken Fruit was only revealed in the past six months, Shiki only considered its strategic position and never thought of using it himself.

"Carsente, I have no intention of competing with you. At least now, there is no need for you and me to decide the winner."

"Roger wants to go to Raftel. I believe that you and I are here for this purpose. In this case, you and I can go with Roger. I'm sure Roger will not refuse!"

Shi Ji raised the wine glass, and the surface of the wine in the glass gently moved, causing several ripples.

As for Raftel, Shiqi didn't think there would be any rare treasures inside. It was more likely that it recorded some secrets.

Since it is a secret, it doesn't matter if more people know about it.

He, Carsente, Roger, and the top pirates and even naval strongmen who can arrive here before Roger can go together.

"Yes, that's exactly what I want!"

Carsent clinked his glass with Shiqi's, indicating that this was feasible.

As for Roger's opinion? Carsent didn't care. As Ski said, Roger would agree in front of the two of them.

If they don't agree, then Roger doesn't have to go. At worst, we can kill Roger. Then Carsent and Ski can get a boat together and go.

To put it bluntly, now it’s not a question of whether Roger is willing to take these two people with him, but whether these two people are willing to take Roger with them.

(Roger: That’s my road sign history text, my!!!)

As for Roger's painstaking efforts to collect the historical text of the road signs, what was that? He was just an unlucky person.

After confirming the cooperation in a few words, Carsent and Ski continued the banquet.

In Shi Ji's opinion, since he had nothing to do anyway, he might as well hold a banquet. With the food Manhattan brought him, it was no exaggeration to say that he could not finish it in three lifetimes.

Before this, he had held banquets with Sengoku Garp and others.

At the top level, stance is just a decoration, and how to bring real benefits is the key.

To say they are in opposition is just because their core interests are different. However, beyond the core interests, there are naturally common interests for cooperation. For example, this time they have joined forces to target Roger, which is obviously beneficial to both parties.

The two let go, and after a hearty meal, Carsente found an open space, while Shiki flew directly into the clouds and disappeared.

This went on for the next two days. Only at mealtime would Ski fly down from the sky and invite Carson to a big meal.

After dinner, sometimes the two of them would get ready and have a discussion.

Of course, there were no cool elemental fluctuations and slashing waves, and even domineering aura was useless. It was just a pure physical competition.

It can be said that at this point, Carsent has the advantage. Although his fighting skills are slightly inferior to those of Ski, his physical strength is much stronger than that of Ski.

Every time his arms collided with his opponent's, Shiqi would grimace in pain and call him a monster.

At first glance, the two of them really seem like good friends.

On the third day, Roger came!

In the distance on the sea level, the Oro Jackson poked its head out from the waves and cut through the waves towards the island.

"Friends, Shuixianxing Island is right here. It is the precursor to the final island and the current destination of the entire new world! Here we come for the final adventure!"

Roger stood at the bow, raised his arms and shouted loudly.

I have been wandering in the second half of the New World for more than half a year, just for the signpost historical text in Kaido's hand. Life has been difficult.

To say that we had to sleep in the open air is a compliment. Sailing in such turbulent seas for half a year is something that not everyone can endure.

In the cabin of the Oro Jackson, four signposts with historical texts were lined up. Kozuki Oden looked at the four stone tablets, wrote and drew on the papers, and even tried to look up the dictionary he brought from Wano Country, trying to translate the contents.

"Captain Roger, we are only one step away from conquering the entire ocean!"

Inside the cabin, Shanks, who was already in his teens, came to Roger with an admiring look on his face.

Young people of this age want to make a career and prove themselves the most. However, due to their lack of ability, they cannot achieve their ideals, so they unconsciously transform this ambition into identification with idols.

And Shanks is the one who admires Captain Roger the most.

"Ahem, after all this journey, this can be considered a perfect ending for the Roger Pirates."

Roger coughed twice. These days, Roger's physical condition had deteriorated rapidly again, and even Kurokas's medicine could not suppress it.

The long period of hard life in the new world has undoubtedly aggravated the situation. Vitality is not so easy to make up for.

Now, even Crocus can only place his hopes on an unknown devil fruit and in this mysterious sea. After all, people can live better only if they have hope.
