A week later~~~
The world-shaking top-tier war finally concluded.
Marine Headquarters was completely shattered, becoming history!
Fleet Admiral Sengoku died in battle!
The Blackbeard Pirates were annihilated!
The Straw Hat Pirates and their companions gathered again~~~
Because every member of the Straw Hat Pirates received rewards from the viewing system, this time, they didn't choose two years of training~~~
They directly embarked on their journey~~~
"Luffy! If we sail according to the route we saw before, the next place we arrive should be Wano Country. But looking at yesterday's news report, Kaido rushed to Wano Country first when he returned to the New World. He killed Momonosuke and stole the artificial Zoan - Azure Dragon fruit!"
Nami said while reading the newspaper, then cursed.
"Momonosuke is dead...!!"
Hearing this, Luffy's face instantly became extremely grim~~~
Although he hadn't interacted with Momonosuke, just from what he saw in the white frame video, he had already grown to like Momonosuke...
Now that he learned Momonosuke was killed by Kaido, Luffy's heart was filled with incomparable rage!!!
And...
Momonosuke on this side died, and Momonosuke in the red frame video also died...
Both versions of Momonosuke died... this was truly too heartbreaking~~~
"Sigh, what a pity Momonosuke... He could have become the general of Wano Country..."
Princess Vivi also sighed~~~
Princess Vivi was originally from the Arabasta Kingdom, but after seeing her fate in the white frame video, no matter what, her heart wanted to send her to Luffy's ship!!!
Since Imu wanted to obtain Princess Vivi, then the Straw Hat Pirates' ship was definitely the best hiding place for her!!!
Not only her, but even Princess Shirahoshi also came~~~
No choice. Who told Shirahoshi to be this generation's Mermaid Princess...
"Stop thinking about Momonosuke. The top priority is to find more Devil Fruits for Luffy."
At this moment, Zoro walked over and spoke seriously.
He stared at everyone: "Our Luffy, even if he received rewards from the viewing system, is not as good as that Red Hair Shanks! However..., our Luffy is definitely the Son of Destiny!!!"
"Listen, before the final battle officially begins with the World Government, we must find enough Devil Fruits for Luffy. Only this way can we ensure that the scales of victory will be on our side~~~"
Everyone listened to Zoro's words and felt they made a lot of sense!!
Although everyone had now received rewards from the viewing system, from the video just now, this era's Chosen One was clearly Monkey D. Luffy...!!
No matter what unforeseen circumstances occurred, Luffy must not be affected!!!
Therefore, stack up his strength!
"Alright!! Then I suggest... Next, the main objective of our voyage will be to search for Devil Fruits!!"
As the navigator, Nami raised her small hand and proposed~~~
"Seconded!"
Usopp agreed without hesitation.
"No problem!!"
"I also agree!!"
Soon, all the crew members' hands were placed together~~~
Just then...
A familiar power suddenly descended!!!
The Straw Hat Pirates and their companions found that their abilities instantly vanished, and even their movements became extremely sluggish...
"Is this the restrictive power of the viewing system?!"
"Again!!!"
"Can't move now..."
At this moment, not only the Straw Hat Pirates' crew members, but also everyone else in the world simultaneously felt the restrictive power of the viewing system descend again!!!
Sakazuki: "Damn it!! Why again???"
Tsuru: "It was originally over. I didn't expect there to be more! Are they going to continue showing the situation from the red frame video?"
Gol D. Roger: "Hahahaha!!! Why can't I move again?! It's so annoying!!!"
Kozuki Oden: "Ah... Ah!! Wano Country is already close. Kaido, you dog, I'll carve you up!!!"
Having already learned that his son was killed by Kaido, Kozuki Oden now desperately wanted to instantly teleport to Wano Country.
Kaido: "Trash, do you think I'll still be in Wano Country for you and Roger to deal with me? Sorry, I've already left Wano Country. You won't find me, hahahaha!"
Although Kaido was crude, he was not foolish.
With the strength of the Beast Pirates, how could they possibly be compared to an army led by Roger, Oden, and others???
What's more, there were also absolute powerhouses like Red Hair Shanks and Buggy...
The Whitebeard Pirates might also come to make trouble!!!
After all, Kozuki Oden was a former crew member of the Whitebeard Pirates~~~
Logically, Whitebeard couldn't just stand by and watch!!!
Kozuki Oden: "Bastard!!! Kaido!!! I will not rest until you are dead! No matter where you go in the world, I will definitely kill you!!!"
Kaido: "Heh heh..."
Kaido wasn't nervous at all~~~
Although the forces gathered to help Kozuki Oden seek revenge were very strong, these pirate strongmen were not Kozuki Oden's hangers-on. They couldn't just follow him everywhere to look for Kaido's whereabouts.
These people definitely had their own things to do!
When Kozuki Oden became a lone wolf again, Kaido would come to meet him again...
Just then, a red frame screen suddenly lit up~~~
A picture appeared!!!
[The Thousand Sunny and the Thunderbolts sailed through the waves on the sea~~~]
["According to the direction indicated by the magnetic field, the sea area ahead should be very close to the destination~~~"]
[Nami said, looking at the intersecting magnetic fields of the recording pointer in her hand.]
["Hey! You guys!!!"]
[At this moment, Umi, who was sitting on the railing, suddenly shouted loudly~~~]
[Hearing Umi's shout, everyone's gaze instantly turned towards the sea in front~~~]
["They only saw a vast, surging whirlpool in the sea area ahead!!!"]
[When the two ships approached this whirlpool, they only saw that isolated island within the huge whirlpool~~~]
[Although it was called an isolated island, the area of this island was not small at all...]
[It was about as big as Marineford~~~]
Jewelry Bonney: "It's actually an island in a whirlpool, how magnificent!!!"
Shiki: "Where is this...? Could this be Laugh Tale???"
Urouge: "Impossible!!! Didn't they say Laugh Tale should be the ruins of a giant kingdom? Where does this island look like a giant kingdom?"
Looking at the barren appearance of the island, it looked nothing like a giant kingdom.
Rocks D. Xebec: "Just ask Roger directly. He's been to Laugh Tale. Roger, is this Laugh Tale?"
Gol D. Roger: "You tell me where you are, and I'll tell you if this is Laugh Tale."
The top-tier battle was over, but Roger was still hiding.
This made Roger unable to relax~~~
Rocks D. Xebec: "Hahahaha!!! Don't think too much! You don't have to say anything; anyway, the answer will be revealed soon~~~"
Shiki: "Hmph! Rocks, where on earth did you run off to? You didn't participate in the top-tier war. Where are you???"
Rocks D. Xebec: "Trash, do you think I'm as short-sighted as you? Top-tier war...?"
"That's just a child's game! I'm the one who's going to rule the world!!!"
Gol D. Roger: "Hahahaha!!! Rocks, are you trying to make me laugh to death? You're also someone who reincarnated. You can't even see the current situation, and you're not even a side character!!!"
Rocks D. Xebec: "Hmph! Just wait and see!!!"
Monkey D. Garp: "What did you say? Roger, is this Laugh Tale?"
Garp also couldn't help but ask~~~
Anyway, the mystery would be revealed soon. Asking in advance didn't matter...
Gol D. Roger: "Yes. This is Laugh Tale. And I've indeed put all my treasures there!!!"
What!!! —
Upon hearing Roger's confirmation, all the onlookers gasped in shock, their mouths wide open!!!
Laugh Tale...
The island before them, located in a gigantic whirlpool, was the legendary Laugh Tale?
Those terrifying whirlpools, once a ship capsized in them, even a large battleship would probably be torn apart and shattered!!!
One has to say...
This location choice was enough!
But this area...
To be worthy of the title "Great Kingdom," isn't it a bit too small?
Just then...
In the image~~~
The Thousand Sunny and the Thunderbolts sailed into the whirlpool!!!
