"But it's strange. I remember his name as Gold D. Roger. I don't know when it started, but the newspapers and the bounty notices all changed to Gold Roger. Could it be that I remembered it wrong before?"
While handing the newspaper to Orlan, Kate also expressed her doubts.
The average bounty hunter simply collects bounties from across the ocean, and periodically replaces old ones with new ones to prevent themselves from missing out on rising bounties.
They are not doing it for justice, they are simply doing it for money.
But Kate is different. She wants to become the biggest villain. In order to achieve this goal, she must eliminate other villains.
Therefore, her death notebook contains information about various pirates and underworld bosses.
She had planned how to kill Morgans and Feld.
In addition to the other party's name, bounty, and appearance, the bounty order will also indicate some specific information below.
For example, which pirate group the other party belongs to, what are their specific abilities, and what characteristics do they have.
The World Government and the Navy occasionally get information wrong, such as Charlotte Cracker of the BIG MOM Pirates. This user of the Biscuit Fruit is extremely afraid of pain, so she usually hides herself in a biscuit armor and never shows up.
Over time, the navy mistook Biscuit Armor's appearance for his real appearance and put him on a wanted list.
If the Navy discovers this problem, it will be corrected in subsequent updated bounties, which is not particularly uncommon.
But at first, even the name was wrong. It was the first time Kate had seen it.
"You remember correctly, Gol D. Roger is his real name. When did the name change occur?"
"About a few months ago, this group should have been close to the final island at that time."
"That's about right. The World Government is simply afraid of the so-called Will of D and doesn't want D's name to spread across the ocean along with him."
The person who can complete the voyage around the Grand Line is the Pirate King. This is the tacit custom in the pirate world. Although the Pirate King does not have the power to command other pirates, it is a symbol of status.
Others may not submit to him, or may think they are stronger, but as long as someone completes the voyage, he will be the Pirate King.
No one knows when this custom was born. Perhaps this saying started shortly after the birth of the first pirate, Joyboy.
Seeing that Roger becoming the Pirate King was a foregone conclusion, the World Government's move became to use its own channels to influence the world and make everyone misunderstand Roger's name.
"D?"
"I don't know what it is, but the scope of this thing is very loose and there are no fixed requirements.
Anyone who wants can add a D to their name, like Kay D. T or D. Kate or something like that."
"It sounds strange, but a single name can frighten them like this. What on earth did that D do to them?"
Kate's perception of the World Government is that it is lawless, and because they are powerful enough, whatever they do is right.
But such a group of people actually have something to fear and hide. Kate is still very interested in what that power is.
"I don't know about that either. It's probably what the blank hundred years describe, but it doesn't matter.
No matter whether they are enemies of the World Government or how powerful they are, in the battle between the World Government and them, the World Government will always be the victor.
What we need to do is learn from the failure and then defeat the opponent with greater strength.
If you're really curious, Bear might know something, don't you think, Bear?"
At this time, Xiong also walked into the basement from the stairs, looking like he had something to say to Oran.
Because the World Government spared no effort to block that blank hundred years, what happened during that time is a huge blank in the world.
Only the rulers of some ethnic groups with a long history or long-closed countries have a slight understanding of that history.
The ones who know it best are the giants.
This ethnic group has a long lifespan and an even longer historical heritage, and more importantly, they are strong.
Elbaf is known as the world's most powerful country, and even the World Government treats them with courtesy.
The bear is from the Bakanni tribe. Although his knowledge of history is not as good as that of the giants, he is not completely ignorant.
"What's wrong, Brother Orlan, Kate, is there a problem?"
"It's this news. The pirate's name has changed. It seems to be related to the blank hundred years or something like that."
"Well, I don't know much about that blank period of time, but I heard from my father that there was a hero named Nika in the past.
He would dance the dance of liberation to make people laugh, and he was a hero who brought liberation."
There is a legend about Nika among the Bakhaniya people, and this is also the most taboo thing for the World Government. Even if it is an agent loyal to the World Government, if he has anything to do with Nika, he will most likely face destruction.
"That's all I know. I don't know anything more, but it's best not to mention this in front of outsiders, otherwise it will cause countless troubles."
The people here are trustworthy, so Xiong told this matter, otherwise he would never take the risk to mention it.
"Miao knows, now is not the time. By the way, what are you doing here?"
"Well, let me wait for you to finish talking to Brother Orlan. It's a private matter."
Xiong seemed a little uneasy. He insisted on waiting until Kate finished reporting the details and left before coming to Orlan's side. He saw him sitting cross-legged on the ground and said softly:
"Um, Brother Oran, you didn't really give Ginny that medicine, did you?"
"What medicine?"
"That kind, you know."
I can only say that Xiong and Ginny really match each other sometimes, even the adjectives are the same. Xiong knows very well that kind of medicine cannot be bought in Piltover.
The rules of Piltover were made by Orlan, and the management of drugs here is very strict.
In the hospital, even a bottle of anesthetic must have a clear destination.
It can be said that if you are alive, you need medicine; if you are dead, you need a bottle.
Even if it is broken, a detailed report must be written indicating the time and place. If any anesthetic does not match the number, the relevant personnel will be punished.
Apart from this one point, management in other aspects is very relaxed. Even interns are paid enough so that they will not be forced to work for a fee.
If Ginny had any access to the drug, it was here in Orlan.
"That one you're talking about, not yet, but if you delay any longer, maybe it will happen."
"Brother Orlan, it's wrong for you to do this."
"Why, you don't like her?"
"That's not the question. You know my race, this race."
"Relax Bear, this is my territory.
In my territory, no one will reveal your information or blood type, so just face your own heart. Life shouldn't leave too many regrets."
After signaling to Xiong not to be so nervous, Orlan left and went back to his own business.
As for Xiong, although there have been some changes in his heart, he is still a little hesitant. It will take a lot of time for him to take that step.
At the same time, news of Roger becoming the Pirate King continued to ferment around the world.
In the New World, at the Naval Headquarters, the atmosphere in Sengoku's office was very depressing, with only the sound of chewing being heard.
"Garp! This is the Roger you've been chasing for three years. Now he's reached the final island and has become the Pirate King. Do you have anything to say?!"
Zhan Guo slammed the table angrily. Seeing that Garp still ignored him, he snatched the senbei from Garp's hand and poured them all into his mouth.
But then Garp took out a new bag of senbei and continued to eat in silence.
At this point, he really didn't know what to say.
On an uncharted island in the New World, Barrett wiped his bloody fists. He had just finished a battle that was not very challenging for him.
Sitting on the enemy's corpse, Barrett looked at the newspaper in his hand with mixed feelings. He had already left the Roger Pirates a few years ago.
The news of Roger's dying always made Barrett feel uneasy, and Barrett felt that this emotion was wrong and he didn't need any companions.
In order to prevent this emotion from affecting him, Barrett became a lone ranger again after challenging Roger for the last time, and ventured out on his own on the Grand Line.
Now that Roger has become the pinnacle of pirates, Barrett's feelings have become complicated.
As Roger's old rival, Golden Lion's heart is as complicated as Barrett's.
On the floating island above the sky, this is the base camp of the Golden Lion.
Using the Float-Float Fruit, he built his own unique pirate base in the sky.
Even after suffering heavy casualties in the Battle of Edwor, his position remained unshaken.
Looking at the report in the newspaper, Golden Lion didn't say anything, but just smoked his cigar one after another.
The ash finally piled up into a small mountain at his feet.
"As expected of you, Roger. You're truly remarkable for defeating me."
These opponents may feel a sense of disappointment, but some, like Charlotte Linlin, are simply angry.
In the Totland Sea, on Cake Island, Charlotte Linlin crushed the armrest of her throne.
Although it was made of biscuits, its hardness exceeded that of stone, which showed how unwilling she was in her heart.
After all, Charlotte Linlin contributed at least a quarter of Roger's success in becoming the Pirate King.
"Well...well, Pirate King, you're so brave. Stealing something from me really helped him a lot."
If you want to become the Pirate King, the Four Road Signs Historical Text is indispensable.
Only by finding these four pieces of historical text can we find the location of the final island through the above information.
Of these four signposts, one was in the Sea Forest of Fishman Island and later disappeared.
One piece is in the underground dark room of Wano Country, one piece is in the Whale Forest of Zou, and the last piece is in the hands of Charlotte Linlin.
If Roger had not used unconventional means to snatch the copy of the historical text from her, he would never have become the Pirate King.
Even delicious food couldn't make Charlotte Lingling forget about it.
As for Roger himself, he knew nothing about the matter and was even drinking happily with others.
On an island full of cherry blossoms, Gol D. Roger looked drunk, and in front of him was Whitebeard Edward Newgate, the pirate known as the strongest man in the world.
"Hey, Newgate, have you read the latest papers?"
"See, Gold Roger, what's wrong, is that your real name?"
"D, my name is D, but Newgate, don't you really want to know how to get there? I can tell you the directions."
"Gulala, no interest. I've already got what I wanted. Roger, what are your plans next?"
"I don't know. Maybe he's going there to spend his last moments."
Both the pirates and the navy have their own ideas about this matter, oh, and the five old men in Mary Geoise's office.
They also saw the news, but felt that they handled it well. After all, D's name had not been spread out, so there was no impact.
At this time, Orlan himself was on a floating car in a very punk world. He was wearing a white coat and was surrounded by guards with elite equipment.
"Doctor, in five minutes we will leave the wilderness and enter the company's management area, and we will be safe."
"Okay, I see. Anything else?"
"No, I just hope you won't forget our brothers in the future and please promote us more."
The bodyguard in the car took out a card and calmly put it into Orlan's pocket, completing his bribery.
All this is because of the other party's rank in the company.
The world here is highly developed, and its technology has long surpassed that of modern society. Orlan named this world Project Origin.
The concepts of mechanical transformation and artificial intelligence are deeply rooted in people's minds here and have long been part of every household.
Project Origin is a high-tech company controlled by a giant enterprise and is also the name of the company.
They launched the Human Upgrade Project to create super humans.
The detailed classification does not stop there. The original purpose of this plan was to "revive" the spirits of ancient warriors by injecting their memories into mechanical bodies, making them new warriors.
But in this process, the Source Project's projects gradually expanded to human transformation.
In addition to simple mechanical life, they began to transform the human body, and failures were inevitable.
Failed experimental subjects who are not loyal enough and cannot perfectly execute orders will be destroyed.
This extremely inhumane behavior also gave rise to the birth of a resistance force - they called themselves Gene Power and fought against the behemoth of the company.
Orlan's identity here is the company's highest-level researcher, responsible for the company's special project - Project Origin: Annihilation.
Although there were only five minutes left to enter the city, these five minutes were often the most dangerous moments. As the vehicle was driving, a giant blue arrow flew towards them from the ruins.
