Chapter 180: The Pirate King Returns

After Mingo's body completely disappeared, Blue immediately ran to Law's side and asked curiously, "What happened just now? Did you kill Doflamingo?"

Luo smiled mysteriously and said, "Kill him? That would be too easy for Brother Ming. Next, he will experience something more terrifying than death, and then he will die in fear!"

Blue scratched his smart head. He felt that Luo seemed to have said something, but it also seemed that he said nothing.

Zhang Shan looked at the figure exiled in space and had new ideas about the abilities of the devil fruit.

Today, Zhang Shan has embarked on the path to becoming a god. He also understands that the true way to use the devil fruit is not any ability, but the almost unlimited imagination of human beings.

As long as you dare to dream it, you can make it a reality.

This idea fits in well with the concept of God.

You can do anything.
Immediately, Zhang Shan didn't care whether Mingge would starve to death in the exile space, and joined his companions in the carnival.

"Do you seem to have forgotten something?"

Zhang Shan looked around and set his sights on the members of Mingge's family lying on the ground.

Luo used his ability to cut these people into pieces and dropped them on the ground, but because of the special nature of Luo's ability, these people did not die and were still staring at Zhang Shan and the others.

Coming in front of the few people, Zhang Shan glanced around casually, then shook his head in disappointment.

"too weak."

Not only is she weak, she's also ugly. The only one who's acceptable is Baby5, and she's the type that can be controlled by anyone.

Fortunately, Zhang Shan had no intention of accepting these people. He looked at Luo beside him and asked, "How are you going to deal with these people?"

Luo thought for a while and set his sights on several super elders of the Mingge family.

The elders led by the runny-nosed Torrebol were dealt with one after another by Luo, and as for the rest, such as baby5, Luo asked them to leave.

As for whether they can survive in the New World, that is not within Luo's consideration.

Halfway through the meal, Zhang Shan suddenly remembered this guy Caesar!

He is the idiot scientist who ate the gas fruit and whose whole body turned into flammable gas. He can also control the air and create a vacuum period.

I didn’t see Caesar among Mingge’s group just now, and I don’t know where this guy is now.

At this time, in Aunt's Wan Guo.

In a dark laboratory, Caesar, with seastone shackles on his five limbs, was writing something with tears streaming down his face.

"Brother Ming! When will you come to pick me up? Oh oh oh~"

~
During the time when Zhang Shan was dealing with Ming Ge, Luffy and his friends were not idle either. Not only did they go to the Town of Giants to get the last piece of the signpost text, they also head-on defeated one of the Five Elders who came to cause trouble, which was a big success.

The newspapers were full of news about Luffy becoming the new king.

"Luffy has finally come to this." Zhang Shan said with a smile as he looked at the news in the newspaper.

The crew members were also getting restless. This was the birth of the Pirate King. After all, they were the top force on the sea, so naturally they wanted to join in the fun.

The most important thing is that Morgans spread the news that Luffy had collected all the road signs. Now countless people all over the world are looking for Luffy. The unscrupulous Morgans often broadcasts Luffy and his whereabouts live, so they have nowhere to hide.

Of course, Luffy had no intention of hiding, he just found these people annoying.

Bang!
Luffy punched Morgans' sneak shot again, swinging his arms and shouting to Nami: "Nami! How long will it take us to reach Raftel?"

"Don't rush me!" Nami roared, turning into a shark face.

Luffy immediately shrank his neck and dared not say another word.

At this time, Nami looked at the four eternal pointers in her hand and directed Franky to constantly adjust the direction of the bow and head towards the final island.

When Zhang Shan came to the Land of Giants again, 90% of the pirates in the New World had already gathered here.

Surprisingly, even all the Seven Warlords of the Sea came here, but Shanks was nowhere to be seen.

The Straw Hat Pirates were surrounded by countless people, standing in the center of the crowd like the stars around them.

After a lot of chaos, someone finally shouted to Luffy, "Straw Hat Boy! What on earth is on the final island? Take it out and let us see it!"

"That's right! What exactly did Roger leave behind? Let's take a look!"

Amid the voices of the crowd, Luffy coughed twice and said, "That thing is useless to us pirates, so I left it there!"

When these words were spoken, everyone present was stunned.

"Hey! Are you kidding me? You didn't even reach the island, did you?"

"Yeah! Don't worry about whether that thing is useful to us or not, just take it out!"

"Or you can tell us the location of the island and we can go and see what that thing is ourselves!"

Listening to the chattering sounds below, Luffy showed impatience on his face.

He shouted at everyone, "Stop making so much noise! ​​I've already said I didn't take it, so stop whining and telling me what to do! If you don't agree, then let's have a fight!"

After Luffy yelled at them, no one present dared to speak loudly anymore.

Fight with Luffy?
Don't be silly, he is a ruthless guy who defeated two emperors at the same time. Why should they fight him?
If we talk about fighting, only another ruthless person has such fighting power, right?

Everyone silently glanced at Zhang Shan who was standing at the back, and after their eyes met, they quickly looked away.

"Forget it, forget it. These two are not easy to deal with. It's better not to cause trouble for yourself."

Everyone muttered to themselves.

Luffy was too lazy to talk nonsense with them, and they didn't deserve to listen!
He walked towards Zhang Shan with his companions and shouted, "Zhang Shan! Let's have a party!"

"Okay!" Zhang Shan agreed with a smile. He guessed that Luffy had something to tell him.

Of course, his main purpose is definitely to hold a banquet and eat delicious meat.

Soon, both parties headed to the back mountain of Elbaf under the expectant gazes of many pirates.

The scenery here is beautiful and there is no one to disturb us. It is a great place to hold a banquet.

Not long after both parties sat down, more giants and the Straw Hat Fleet arrived.

Even the Seven Warlords of the Sea and Kaido followed.

Those standing here at this moment were all elites among the pirates! They didn't say anything, nor did they clamor to join the party. They just stood aside silently, not saying a word, and just listened quietly.

Luffy was helpless with these people. He also knew that if he didn't tell them some news today, these people would probably not leave easily.

Thinking of this, Luffy mentally blamed Morgans again!
If that pigeon hadn't been live-streaming himself, he could have made a fortune in silence!
This feeling of being completely exposed to everyone's sight is not like a pirate at all!
"Okay, tell me what you saw and where you saw it." Zhang Shan said with a smile.

He did not drive away the many powerful people around him, because he knew that these people would not leave.

Moreover, the mystery left by Roger has been on the minds of people all over the world for more than 20 years, and they are now eager to know what the truth is.

Luffy said: "To put it simply, a long, long time ago, there was a giant who ate the rubber fruit, and after awakening the fruit, he established a very large and powerful country."

"There is no distinction between races or status in this country. Everyone is equal and lives the life they want."

As Luffy spoke, the blank hundred years gradually appeared before everyone's eyes.

Back then, a giant named Joyboy became the Nika of that generation. In order to allow people all over the world to live freely, he established diplomatic relations between various races, brought all the races in the world together, and established the largest country in history.

The name of this country is also very casual, it is called One Family.

It means literally.

Let us all become one family and stop fighting each other.

The idea is good, and it has even begun to be put into practice, by winning over the moon people who have mastered core technologies.

But in the end, they failed and were shattered by a surprise attack from a coalition of twenty nations.

It made the already rare race even rarer. The Lunalia clan, which inherited the lunar civilization, was left with only two or three cats and kittens, who lived a life of hiding from place to place every day.

In this generation, only Jhin is left of this once glorious civilization, and he knows nothing about the past.

As for the rest, such as the Fur Tribe, although there are some descendants left, these people are basically toys of the Celestial Dragons. Whenever they want to hunt for something new and change their taste, they will catch some rare races to satisfy their cravings, and then throw them away after playing with them without feeling sorry.

This is one of the reasons why these ethnic minorities are so small in number.

They were all killed by the Celestial Dragons!
"This is the general background. As for what happened specifically, let Robin tell you. She knows more than I do!" Luffy said with a smile.

Zhang Shan nodded, but did not let Robin talk about the country right away. Instead, he asked Luffy, "Didn't Joyboy leave you any words?"

Luffy said while picking his nose: "I stayed, but I am not interested in what he said. I have my own way to realize my dream."

"That's it."

When they heard Luffy say that he wanted to fulfill his dream, everyone around him became curious.

Some of them knew Luffy and talked about the past. They all knew that Luffy's dream was to become the Pirate King. From the current situation, it seems that Luffy's dream has come true. Why does Luffy still say this? Does Luffy have other dreams?
However, Luffy did not intend to explain anything to these people.

Robin quickly told the story of the once huge empire.

"It is a country with very advanced technology. With the help of the moon people, they built an advanced future city in just ten years. They mastered all kinds of incredible technologies. People don't have to worry about food. Even if they do nothing, there is still plenty of food. People only need to live the life they want every day."

"Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long. What Joyboy did soon caused dissatisfaction among the royal family of the old era. Instigated by a mysterious being, the ancestors of the twenty kings united to launch a war against Joyboy's kingdom. However, for some reason, Joyboy didn't resist. He left behind some historical records and then died."

Everyone then suddenly realized that this was what the huge kingdom of eight hundred years ago looked like.

Everyone present was at the pinnacle of this world, and they immediately understood what had happened that year.

It's nothing more than a change of power at the top. It's probably that the World Government used dishonorable means to defeat Joy Boy, so they have been covering up the truth of that year.

Thinking of this, they instantly lost interest in that Joey Boy.

I thought they left behind weapons that could conquer the world, or countless treasures, but I didn't expect it was just some boring history...

However, Vegapunk's eyes flashed. He had also studied the blank hundred years and knew that the most powerful thing about the huge kingdom was not these so-called family members, but the other party's technology that could be called a miracle.

You know, Vegapunk has only dug up a little bit of the shadow of the huge kingdom, but he has already achieved what he has today. He dare not imagine how powerful the huge kingdom was in its heyday!
However, Robin does not seem to intend to explain this matter. If she wants to understand it, she still needs to talk to Luffy and the others privately later to see if she can let Luffy and the others take her to Raftel again to see the remains there.

After the banquet, everyone left Elbaf and went about their own business.

However, Luffy's identity as the Pirate King was confirmed, and events that happened eight hundred years ago were also revealed, but they did not cause any waves on the sea.

After all, Robin didn't tell the real secret at all, so they couldn't do anything even if they wanted to stir up trouble~
Even Morgans, the pigeon, stopped taking aerial photos of Luffy and went back to writing news about Ace.

Ace has made a name for himself on the sea recently. Although he is not as good as Luffy, he has successfully recovered Whitebeard's former territory and returned to the throne of the Four Emperors.

It just fills the gap left after Luffy became king.

When everyone had left, Luffy suddenly came to Zhang Shan mysteriously and whispered, "Zhang Shan! I'll tell you something amazing!"

Seeing that this kid was so cautious, Zhang Shan instantly became interested. He and Luffy walked behind a big tree to listen to what he wanted to say.

"In fact, that Joey Boy left me a message. He wanted me to continue his dream and build a kingdom where all races can coexist peacefully! But I don't want to do that. It goes against my original intention!"

"Joey Boy knows where you can reach?" Zhang Shan asked puzzledly.

"Well, he said that someone saw the present through the power of the fruit, so he didn't resist back then." Luffy nodded and said, "But he actually resisted, but the power of the King was not strong enough and did not meet his expectations, so he only resisted symbolically and gave up."

"The power of the King is not strong enough? So you gave up? No, what's going on? Speak slowly, I'm a little confused!" Zhang Shan frowned. He was really confused now. Why was it that the more Luffy talked, the less he understood?

At this time, Robin's voice appeared behind the two of them: "Let me speak!"

Robin leaned against the tree and said with a smile: "Let's start from the beginning!"

"A long, long time ago, before Joyboy was even born, the Moon People came to this blue planet. They had very powerful technology, and the driving force behind this technology was gold. In order to get more gold, the Moon People began to plunder the natives, that is, us."

"But we are not pushovers. Under the power of devil fruits and domineering, the moon technology can't take advantage of us. So, they changed their strategy from unilateral aggression at the beginning to using advanced technology in exchange for gold."

"This kind of trade has continued for hundreds of years. As time goes by, the people on the moon and our blue planet have established a basic friendship. However, these people live on the red earth continent and rarely come down. Therefore, the friendship between the two sides is just a basic business relationship."

“But everything changed when Joyboy showed up!”

Zhang Shan's eyes lit up and he answered quickly, "Is it because Joyboy is too strong that the Moon People are wary of him, and they ended up fighting?"

Robin rolled his eyes at him and said, "How is that possible? Joyboy has a similar personality to Luffy, and is even more reliable than Luffy. How could he fight with the Moon People? Don't talk, just listen to me carefully."

Before they knew it, the crews from both sides had gathered around, listening to Robin's story.

Sanji was also very considerate and prepared drinks for the ladies present. After causing dissatisfaction among the men, he just prepared some drinks to get rid of everyone.

After moistening his throat and thanking Sanji, Robin began to tell the story again.

"Joey Boy did not bring war. After traveling around the world, he brought together the two most powerful kingdoms in the world at that time to form a huge kingdom. These two countries are Alabasta and the Kingdom of God of the Moon People."
