Chapter 129: The Course of History! Shocking Identity
The headline that had just caught Lotte's eye.
Made his pupils contract sharply for a moment.
This also reminded him of the major events in the One Piece timeline. According to the information recorded in the original story from his previous life.
The God Valley War took place in the Sea Circle Calendar year 1480.
It was also in that year that Imu threatened him with their ability, forcing him to use the Time-Time Fruit to leap ten years into the future—right now.
The current year was Sea Circle Calendar 1490.
In the same year, Navy Admiral Zephyr's family was killed by pirates. He subsequently chose to leave his Admiral position, though he retained his rank and became an instructor for the new generation of Marines.
From every angle.
The plot was indeed progressing exactly as in the original story.
It seemed the butterfly effect caused by his presence hadn't disrupted the main storyline too much yet. If things continued along this path.
Five years from now, Roger would clash with Golden Lion Shiki in a massive battle.
And in that very conflict,
Golden Lion would suffer grave injuries—including having a ship's rudder embedded in his head—which would cost him the ability to use Conqueror's Haki.
Otherwise, given his ambition,
He would have undoubtedly possessed Conqueror's Haki during his later fight with Luffy.
But because of that sea battle with Roger, the outcome changed unexpectedly, and Golden Lion's pirate fleet never recovered.
At the same time.
Just two years later, in 1497, Roger would officially become the Pirate King.
After learning the truth about the Void Century, Roger's execution would soon ignite the Great Pirate Era.
The battle between Roger and Golden Lion
Honestly didn't concern Lotte much—it was their own affair.
But the Void Century's blank 100 years still interested him greatly. If he could obtain information about that lost century, he might uncover a way to defeat Imu.
Or at least learn the origin of Imu's power.
That would be extremely important to him.
While Lotte was deep in thought, Toki beside him curiously leaned in, clearly wanting to see what was in the newspaper.
After glancing at the headline.
She couldn't help but suck in a cold breath. Though she didn't know who this Navy Admiral was, his status and position on the seas must be extraordinarily high.
To think even someone like that had their family killed by pirates.
This sea was far too dangerous!
And their ship only had her and her cheap captain. If they ran into vicious pirates, it would cause no small amount of trouble.
After all, no matter how strong the captain was, he couldn't fight ten thousand enemies alone!
At that moment.
She suddenly noticed the bounty posters tucked behind the newspaper. Curiosity rising, she leaned closer to Lotte and asked.
"Captain, can I take a look at this?"
Her body unconsciously drew near.
Her kimono slipped slightly, revealing a glimpse of soft curves. Lotte, with his Sharingan's dynamic vision, only glanced once before calmly replying.
"If you want to see it, go ahead and take it."
Lotte pulled out the bounty poster from behind and handed it to Toki, then turned his attention back to the latest newspaper, narrowing his eyes slightly.
Sure enough.
The information matched what he had deduced.
Currently, the four biggest pirate crews were the Whitebeard Pirates, Roger Pirates, Flying Pirates (Golden Lion), and BIG MOM Pirates.
In terms of sheer scale, Golden Lion's Flying Pirates were undoubtedly the largest.
The fleet he had assembled was terrifying in size.
Roger and Whitebeard, on the other hand, focused on elite crews and had no intention of expanding in numbers.
As for Charlotte Linlin's BIG MOM Pirates.
At present, they possessed the strongest intelligence network in the New World and also had the most extensive connections among these crews.
And closely behind them, Kaido's rapidly rising Beasts Pirates watched hungrily.
These developments were basically within Lotte's expectations. The only thing that pleased him was the Shadow organization under Olvia's control.
It had now become the largest intelligence network across the four seas (excluding the New World).
Even in the New World,
It was only slightly behind BIG MOM. This achievement was already remarkable. Even with the support of Roger and Newgate.
Without sufficient strength,
There was no way the organization could have expanded to this level.
But speaking of which.
He was genuinely looking forward to meeting Olvia again. After ten years, she must have "grown" quite a bit.
"Rustle—"
Several bounty posters slipped from Toki's hands and fell to the deck with a sound, causing Lotte to immediately turn his head.
He saw Toki staring wide-eyed at one of the bounty posters in her hand.
Her expression was one of utter disbelief.
What bounty could have shocked her to this extent?
Curiosity rising, Lotte stood up and walked over to Toki.
"What's wrong? You look like you've never seen anything before."
When he got closer.
He saw the bounty poster she was holding—his own face on it. And the most shocking part was the bounty amount below.
A staggering 5 billion berries!
A number completely incomparable to any other pirate at present!
Lotte was somewhat surprised to see this. He hadn't expected that even after ten full years, Marine Headquarters was still relentlessly pursuing him—and even included his bounty in the latest newspaper.
A smile curved at the corner of his mouth.
"Hahahaha! Those Five Elders really are cowards. I've been quiet for so long, and they're still putting out bounties on me!"
"And 5 billion berries at that—about the same as the Op-Op Fruit."
Everyone knew that even among Devil Fruits.
The Op-Op Fruit—known as the ultimate fruit—was valued at around 5 billion berries on the market, though its actual price would likely be even higher.
After all, it was the fruit that could grant eternal life.
Though the conditions were extremely harsh, the temptation of immortality was something almost no one could resist.
Toki never imagined.
Her cheap captain would turn out to be the pirate with the highest bounty on the entire sea!
He looked like such a handsome young man, yet he was one of the most terrifying figures on these seas?!
Was this what they called gap moe?
Toki also noticed some of his feats listed on the poster,
Such as severing an Admiral's arm, plundering heavenly tribute gold, and so on.
No matter how you looked at it.
Her cheap captain's identity was anything but ordinary!
