The Navy's prediction was wrong; instead of returning with his old crew, the escaped Golden Lion disappeared without a trace.
Although many within the Navy felt that Shiki was plotting something big, they ultimately chose to ignore him for the time being.
This is a good thing for world governments and navies.
Golden Lion's escape sparked a new wave of pirate activity, which was already irreversible. At least this attitude of disappearing from the scene can mitigate the damage.
Since Shiki made this choice, the Navy and the World Government did not continue their large-scale pursuit of him.
As time passed, the Golden Lion gradually faded from people's memories, and even its longtime acquaintances didn't pay much attention to it.
They are more concerned with current changes than with those who plan for the future.
In the Sabaody Archipelago, at Shakky's extortion bar, an octopus-like fish-man crawls out of the water.
At this moment, a woman with short black hair was smoking on the shore. She was Shakky, the current bar owner, and also the former emperor of Amazon Lily and the previous captain of the Kuja Pirates.
"New, Shaki, I've come to play with Rayleigh! Is Rayleigh here?"
"Oh, it's Hachi! Come in, Rayleigh's inside. Want some juice?"
"want."
At this time, Xiao Ba looks like a child, but he is actually sixteen years old. This is a special genetic expression in this sea. Some people will show a discontinuous development during their growth and development.
Just a year ago, they were still children, but in one or two years, they can undergo a qualitative change and suddenly become adults.
"Rayleigh, I'm here!"
"Little Eight, long time no see! How have you been lately?"
"Not bad. Fishman Island borrowed Whitebeard's flag, and things have been much more peaceful since then."
Hachi rescued Rayleigh from a shipwreck some time ago, and they became friends after that. Hachi is also one of the few fishmen from Fishman Island who has set foot in the Sabaody Archipelago multiple times without incident.
With Rayleigh here, there's not much anyone in the Sabaody Archipelago who can harm him.
"Whitebeard? His banner certainly works. Has Neptune finally changed his mind?"
"I heard from Brother Shak that it was suggested by a human king. Lady Otohime went to that country a while ago. Brother Shak and Brother Arlong have gone there now too. It's called Pi-pi something, I forgot the word."
Piltover?
"Yes, that's it."
Having six hands makes things much easier for Hachi in certain situations. For example, he can now take a juice while flipping through a newspaper and clapping his hands in agreement.
"Rayle, have you heard of that place?"
"I've been there before when I was sailing; it's a very special country."
Rayleigh had only been there once, when he went to see Roger for medical treatment, but he still had a deep impression of it.
"By the way, did you say the other fish-men went to that island? What did they do there?"
"It seems to be something like mining and salvaging shipwrecks, but I'm not really sure about the specifics."
Developing deep-sea mineral deposits is part of their work, but in addition, the fish-people also have the job of salvage workers.
On the Grand Line, countless ships sink every year, and many of them carry treasures or similar items.
According to the unspoken rules of the high seas, whoever finds such a thing keeps it. After all, given the perilous nature of the Grand Line, no one without considerable skill can manage such a long-distance salvage operation.
Meanwhile, somewhere in the sea near the park, a ship that sailed from Fishman Island is anchored here.
"Brother Shaq! We found it! There really is an ancient ruin down there! And it looks like there are a lot of good stuff inside!"
Aaron leaped out of the sea and returned to the deck to report his findings to Shaq.
This location was found by Oran based on historical records. It is said that nearly eight hundred years ago, this country possessed immense wealth, but over the years, it has long since sunk.
"There's another strange stone down there, covered in some weird and unusual writing. Shaq, would you like to take a look?"
Ah Long took out a piece of paper covered with text. It was a special waterproof paper, made in a way similar to that of a life card. Its biggest feature was that it was waterproof. With special ink, the text would not fade even when submerged in water.
"Nicole Robin, the wanted poster says you are the demon child left behind by Ohara. You should be able to understand this."
"this."
"Hey, you human brat, do you think we'd let you on board if it weren't for Brother Shaq's orders? Speak up if you know, or I'll..."
"Ah Long!"
"Okay, I got it. I'm going back to work."
Faced with Shaq's reprimand, Aaron didn't say anything and plunged back into the sea.
In the original timeline, Arlong was the same. Even if he didn't accept humans, he would still obey Tiger's reprimands. If Tiger hadn't died in the end, he might have made a completely different choice.
This voyage was actually quite different from what Aaron had imagined. He had thought he would have the opportunity to see amusement parks in other countries and see how different other places for people to play were from the soap bubble park in the Sabaody Archipelago.
As it turned out, Shaq really did bring them out to work; aside from collecting a batch of tools, they didn't stay much.
As for why Nicole Robin was on this ship, that was just an accident.
Ordinary people believe the World Government's explanation and think that the destruction of Ohara was a grave crime, but Shaq doesn't believe it at all.
Both were in the West Sea, both were destroyed, but he felt that the World Government was covering something up.
Nico Robin has been wandering since the destruction of Ohara a few months ago. Saulona sent her far away, but she is still on this planet.
A little girl with a bounty of 79 million Berries is much easier to catch than those pirates.
The kind-faced old woman and the seemingly well-meaning uncle were both secretly planning to use her to exchange for a bounty.
Never trust anyone—that was the survival lesson Robin learned during his wanderings.
She later discovered that the peaceful waters of the West Sea were too dangerous for her; she needed to be in a place where the navy had less control to survive.
Eventually, she arrived at the Grand Line. In order to survive, she learned quickly, and joining and betraying others became commonplace for her.
According to Robin's understanding, the Fish-Men race has a bad relationship with the World Government and the Navy. Therefore, after her whereabouts were exposed once again, Robin chose to secretly board the Fish-Men's ship.
Although Shaq found her quickly, he did not chase her away, but promised to let her go the next time they docked.
However, Robin didn't really trust Shaq and remained wary of him, even having trouble sleeping.
"These are just insignificant historical records, nothing important."
Looking at the neat, square characters at the top of the paper, Robin immediately recognized what it was. Although she was only eight years old, she had an Ohara-certified doctorate in history.
He is also the only remaining history PhD who understands ancient scripts. As for others, even if they recognize these scripts, they do not have this degree.
"Why not just say it if it's unimportant?"
"The content of those words is of no benefit to you. It basically says that an alliance has suddenly launched a war and they are fighting back."
During that void century, the Kozuki clan of Wano Country created these special Poneglyphs.
Under the control of Queen Nefertari D. Lily of Alabasta, these Poneglyphs were scattered around the world, preventing the World Government from completing their retrieval.
Among the approximately thirty Poneglyphs, there are four special red Poneglyphs that record the location of Laugh Tale. Roger was able to complete his final voyage only after finding all the red Poneglyphs.
The remaining twenty-six historical texts record relevant history. Nine of them are relatively important intelligence historical texts, recording the locations of items such as ancient weapons, while the rest are relatively ordinary.
Whether Robin's translation is true or false is currently only known to her.
"The world is dangerous, and it's right to be wary. I hope you can find a trustworthy companion someday."
Shaq didn't press further, since it wasn't anything important anyway. But at that moment, a warship appeared in the distant sea.
"Brother Shaq! The Navy is here!"
"I see. We're not pirates, what are we afraid of? Just do what you're supposed to do, and don't move without my orders."
Then many fishmen jumped into the sea. Judging from their appearance, if the warship made any dangerous move, they would try to puncture the bottom of the ship.
The remaining people watched the warship nervously, while Shaq, after gesturing for Robin to hide in the cabin, also pulled out a flag.
"Admiral Squirrel! Unidentified vessel spotted, filled with fish-men!"
"Fishman pirates?"
Due to the unique circumstances of Fishman Island, there is little sign of fishmen being active on land, and the few well-known fishmen are all pirates, which leads to a vicious cycle.
"It's uncertain. They didn't run away, nor did they attack; it seems they were waiting for us to come over."
"Wait, Major General Flying Squirrel! It's the Gear Flag of Piltover! Those murlocs are flying Dr. Siddirell's flag!"
On the watchtower, a soldier discovered something new.
"Mr. Oran's flag?"
"Yes, that's confirmed. Should we move closer?"
"Let's go over and take a look first, then immediately verify with headquarters to confirm whether it's an impersonation of a flag or something else."
"yes."
The warship continued its movements and arrived right next to Shaq and the others.
"Routine naval inspection, what are you doing?"
"Salvage the sunken ship."
What does that flag mean?
"Of course it's our boss's banner; we work for him now."
Shaq responded calmly, and the soldier who verified the information brought back new intelligence.
"Reporting to Major General Momonga, headquarters and Firefly Island have confirmed that he is indeed Dr. Siddirell's new employee."
"So, do we need to check further?"
"No need. There are many pirates in this area. You should all be careful."
Naval patrols and inspections are common in this area; otherwise, those Ohara expedition ships wouldn't have been found to have problems.
However, it's different if they fly the Oran flag. Even without the Oran identity, the position of Shichibukai is equivalent to an exemption from inspection. According to the rules, the Navy cannot interfere with their private behavior.
The fact that the searching navy left simply because of a flag gave Robin a new idea in the cabin.
That's all for today. Just taking a break at the end of the month.
July's target was 30 days of 10,000 daily earnings, but the actual daily earnings were 20 days. August will be another month to challenge that goal.
