Although the World Government has not yet announced the establishment of the Seven Warlords of the Sea,
But in order to suppress the growing number of powerful people in the sea, its interior has already made preparations.
Naturally, no effort was spared in building momentum for Donquixote Doflamingo.
Even the pirates in the New World now know the name Donquixote Doflamingo.
East Blue,
In a tavern on an unknown island.
Amidst the lively atmosphere of clinking glasses, a red-haired man wearing a straw hat was concentrating on eating.
While eating, thinking,
Where should he go to recruit crew members...
Just as he was thinking about life, the sound of a few strong men drinking and discussing current affairs at the table next to him attracted his attention.
"Have you seen the latest news?"
"Look! That big shot, [Black Gun] Ronan! A young man actually managed to escape from him!"
"Who is Ronan? Is he famous?" A strong man asked naively. It was obvious that he was ignorant and didn't even know Ronan's name.
This whetted the appetite of the big man next to him. He had seen the man who opened the sky with one knife in Loguetown. After that experience that made him doubt his life, he immediately became a real "Ao fan"!
"You don't even know this. Let me tell you, [Black Gun] Ronan was originally a crew member on the Pirate King Roger's ship. He was once a top-notch ruthless man..."
Shanks adjusted his straw hat. He had originally been perked up when he heard the news about Ronan, and pricked up his ears to listen carefully.
But as the "Ochui" continued to talk, his expression became more and more strange.
He fought against all the navy commanders alone and was entrusted with an important task by the Pirate King...
He knew Ronan, and these things were barely true, but then the exaggerations became more and more outrageous.
"According to rumors, Black Gun Ronan has a very secret. Do you know why he is called Black Gun?" The big man said seriously.
"Could it be because his gun is so black..." A genius made a guess.
"What are you thinking!" The big man glared and had to continue:
"It is said that although his usual style is mostly using knives and fists, when he is at his strongest, he still uses the gun behind his back.
You know that monster Kuzan in the navy, the one who could besiege Ronan undefeated together with the other two.
It is said that his leg is still injured because it was shot by Ronan.
If he hadn't luckily dodged it later, it would have been broken long ago!"
"Ah~" Although the burly men beside him didn't understand, they still nodded in agreement, but at the end they said:
"So is Ronan good or bad in the report?"
"Well...he's a homebody, so he should be good."
Shanks: "…"
Shanks' mouth twitched, and he couldn't stand it anymore, so he finally bought a newspaper obediently.
But after a closer look, his eyes became serious, and he had the same idea as most people on the sea:
This old Donquixote Doflamingo is quite a character.
As a close friend who had been on the same ship with Ronan for many years, Shanks could be said to be one of the few people who knew Ronan's strength best. After all, he had been abused by him more than once or twice.
And it was precisely because of this understanding that he understood even more clearly how incredible it was that a young guy could escape alive despite Ronan's full-scale pursuit.
At least Shanks asked himself,
If Ronan was determined to kill him, he would definitely not survive unless Vice Captain Rayleigh and others stopped him.
"Donquixote Doflamingo?
He's another formidable opponent of the new era... I'll have a chance to fight him in the future."
Shanks secretly made up his mind that when he became stronger, he would definitely fight Donquixote Doflamingo to see who was more qualified to be the "King of the New Era".
Yes,
He no longer has any illusions about the title of "The King of the Next Generation".
Anyway, Captain Roger said that Ronan was a person of the old era. He didn't believe that there would be such a perverted guy in the new era.
…
East Blue,
An unknown town,
With his ability to split things into pieces and the foundation he had built on Roger's ship, the future pirate Buggy is now dominating the low-end game.
At this moment, he also saw the familiar name in the newspaper.
"Ronan..."
Seeing this very familiar name, Buggy was moved for a moment, and a closer look at the content made him feel even more surprised.
"Nan… Nani!!"
With his mouth wide open and his tongue hanging out, his body instantly exploded into pieces.
"Is there a young man who can fight against Ronan and retreat safely!?!?"
"No... that's not right. This is definitely a deliberate fabrication! Aren't you afraid of getting into trouble with Ronan?
I dare to write anything..."
It's ironic that in such a vast ocean, Buggy is the only one who is sober.
Perhaps because he had protected Ronan since he was a child, Buggy had the clearest understanding of Ronan.
Even in Buggy's eyes, Ronan is almost invincible in the world.
If we talk about the older generation like Whitebeard and Shiki the Golden Lion, who are similar to Captain Roger, and fight with Ronan, Buggy can still believe it.
But if you say there are such people in the younger generation, and there is no intervention from outside powers, Ronan still can't do anything to them...
Hey! Bastard!
How much do you think of his best friend, Bakayaloo! ! !
Uncle Buggy is very angry now!
"Hey! Guys, shoot down any newspaper News Coo you see!!!"
"Yes!! Captain Buggy!!!"
…
The Grand Route, a certain sea area in the first half,
A young man with a black knife on his back was riding on a lone boat, his sharp eyes narrowed slightly, and a strong fighting spirit burst out in his eyes.
"The Sabaody Archipelago..."
"You escaped in Loguetown, don't even think about escaping this time!"
On the lonely boat, the young man rowing at night with a black knife in his hand put down the newspaper, exerted force on his hands, and moved forward quickly.
This person is surprisingly one of the most famous newcomers in the ocean recently.
The future world's greatest swordsman,
He is also the founder of the new style "Small Sword Style" after the One Sword Style, Two Sword Style, Three Sword Style...
Young version, Dracule Mihawk!
After seeing Ronan use the "Ace" on his body to chop out the sword energy that opened the sky, he understood.
This may be his next strong opponent on the road of kendo!
After all, he is the descendant of the world-famous swordsmen Roger and Rayleigh.
He firmly believed that as long as he defeated Ronan in swordsmanship,
Then he will surely take an unprecedented step on the road to becoming the world's greatest swordsman!
"After learning your swordsmanship, I will definitely benefit a lot.
I'm really looking forward to meeting you... Ronan!"
