The Wind from the World

The West Blue, one of the four largest seas in the world, like its brothers and sisters, boasts countless beautiful landscapes and captivating cultures.

Unbeknownst to anyone, the Sirius Pirates' journey to the West Blue had already been going on for quite some time.

Unlike other Pirate Emperor, Sirius is very low-key.

He didn't want to make a scene; he and his companions just wanted a quiet trip.

The last time he caused a major stir on the world stage was the Sabaody Archipelago incident, after all, news of the South Blue conflict was suppressed by the government.

Therefore, people around the world are still wondering where Sirius and his group went and how they disappeared after making a brief appearance in the Sabaody Archipelago.

In a certain area of West Blue, the Sirius was floating on the surface of the sea, and a banquet was being held on its deck.

Although nothing particularly celebratory happened, what reason do pirates need for a banquet?

By this time, the banquet was coming to an end, the table was littered with leftovers, and the guests were lounging in their chairs, basking in the sun.

Sirius smacked his lips while holding a bottle of liquor. "That Shanks guy is such a braggart. He said the liquor from his hometown is the best in the world, but it turns out it's just this bad?"

Previously, that Red-Haired guy had strongly recommended his hometown to Sirius, saying that it had beautiful scenery, a pleasant climate, and especially its local wine, which was sold throughout the West Blue and was praised by everyone.

Sirius believed his lies and took some time to go there a few days ago.

The scenery was indeed decent, but it was definitely not as amazing as Shanks made it out to be.

And the wine that guy raved about being the finest in the world was hardly surprising.

That Red-Haired's filter is a bit too heavy.

"Whoa, Sirius actually said the food wasn't tasty?" Ulti looked utterly astonished.

"I'll beat you up, you brat." Sirius rolled his eyes.

"Haha, Sirius's sense of taste is quite dull."

Yamato a grin.

"But I'm not taste-challenged either."

Sirius snorted. Of course, this was indeed true, because from childhood he had always been forced, either willingly or unwillingly, to eat strange things. If his sense of taste were any more sensitive, it would be quite difficult for him to resist.

"Captain, the tunnel we dug out has been discovered!"

At that moment, Luo, who was reading the newspaper, suddenly spoke up.

"Oh?"

Sirius became interested. "Well, the whole world was shocked, wasn't it?"

"That's absolutely right."

Luo nodded. "This is today's front-page news. Morgans himself wrote a commentary, saying it's a sky road connecting two seas."

"Isn't this good?"

Sirius said with a smile.

Although the need for cross-ocean communication was low due to the limitations of the era, and most people were basically self-sufficient, the successful communication between the two seas broke down the geographical barriers and enabled them to develop in a coordinated manner to some extent.

"However, the government issued a statement saying that this was a tunnel they had spent a great deal of time carving out, and that the navy had been stationed on both sides of the tunnel,"

Luo continued, "They will build a Marine Base at each end to monitor the passage."

"Huh?"

Black, who was applying oil to his steel-like body, exclaimed in surprise, "That's the fruit of our labor!"

That's absolutely shameless!

The Sirius's drill bits were worn down quite a bit because of this tunnel!

"That's right, those government bastards are so shameless! They can't be forgiven!"

Ulti was indignant. "Sirius, go back! Kill those bastard navy bastards!"

"Don't worry about it. Do you expect the government to admit that this was the work of pirates?"

Sirius casually replied, "Besides, it was just something I did on the spur of the moment."

"That's right, there's no point in doing that. Who would believe it was done by a group of pirates?" Jack said coldly. "Besides, what good would it do us even if we told the whole world? What benefit would it bring us?"

"That's right, we're pirates." Maria said with a smile.

"Hateful."

Ulti still looked somewhat unwilling.

"And then, Luo, any other news?"

Sirius asked.

"Another headline," Luo said, "The Reverie has begun."

"Reverie?"

Yamato blinked. "Sirius, what's that?"

"That's a tea party for the King."

At almost the same time, in the Holy Land Mary Geoise.

The usually peaceful and solemn Pangaea Castle was bustling with activity today.

Kings from all over the world have gathered here for the quadrennial Reverie.

In theory, the Reverie is the highest authority of the World Government, and the joint decisions made by the King have absolute authority within the World Government.

Of course, this is in theory.

However, regardless of the circumstances, the Reverie is a quadrennial event and is currently the most important event for World Government.

Mary Geoise has many amazing things, one of which is the ability to forge its own path.

At this moment, on this road leading from the airport in Mary Geoise to Pangaea Castle, many Kings and their guards marveled at the sight.

One King exclaimed, "As expected of Mary Geoise, it's so advanced!"

A King shouted that he would ask the Five Elders for the technology, and then return to his country to replicate such a road.

However, among the crowd, one man bit his lip and silently shed tears.

"What's wrong Kyros?"

King Riku from Dressrosa asked in bewilderment.

"I,"

The legendary gladiator Kyros, undefeated at the Colosseum of Dressrosa, paused for a moment, then wiped away his tears, "... I have witnessed the malice of humanity."

He is an Observation Haki Awakening, capable of seeing and hearing many things that ordinary people cannot see or hear.

"I see."

King Riku sighed softly, "Let's go Kyros, let's hurry over there."

They quickened their pace and soon passed through here.

When King Riku arrived at the gates of Pangaea Castle, he encountered an old acquaintance.

"Oh! King Cobra! It's been four years! Is this your daughter?"

"Yes, King Riku, Vivi, quickly greet King Riku."

"Hahaha, what a lovely girl! It's a pity I didn't bring Rebecca along, otherwise you two could have become friends and besties."

"Hey, old friend, are you trying to take advantage of me? Rebecca is your granddaughter, isn't she?"

After exchanging pleasantries with his old friend, as he walked into Pangaea Castle, King Riku saw an exceptionally tall figure.

"It's Bartholomew Kuma, who just became Shichibukai," Kyros said.

"Shichibukai?"

King Riku frowned. "What are the Shichibukai doing at the Reverie?"

In any case, the Reverie has begun.

Not long after, in the West Blue.

"Captain, the results of the Reverie are in, and we've been named!"
