When Garp, Sengoku and others escorted Red-Haired Shanks all the way to the Adventurers' Guild, the place was already surrounded by the Empire many reporters.
Countless reporters pointed all kinds of equipment at Shanks and his group.
Nowadays, the Empire encirclement and suppression New World battle situation is broadcast in real time. The two pirate emperors have fallen, and the only pirate emperor was also escorted to the nearest Adventurers' Guild by the two generals Imperial Navy.
This historical scene made all the newspapers that got the news crazy, and they wanted to get first-hand information and videos.
When Red-Haired Shanks and others got off the boat, they were blinded by the crazy flash lights, and at the same time, they were filled with a sense of humiliation in their hearts.
But under the powerful power of the Empire, they could only endure it all silently, after the navy soldiers finally separated from the crazy reporters.
The group finally successfully entered Adventurers Guild, and what greeted them was actually Whitebeard.
This made Shanks feel an extremely strong sense of awkwardness, remembering the era he created in order to maintain the captain.
Traveling thousands of miles to intercept Whitebeard's fleet did not stop Whitebeard's firm determination in the end. But now when we meet again, he looks like a loser.
This made Shanks feel mixed emotions.
"Oh hehehe! Kid, welcome to join Adventurer's Guild. I believe you will fall in love with this guild in the future!"
Shanks looked at Whitebeard's hearty smile, and his face couldn't help but twitch slightly, "Old man, why are you here!"
Whitebeard's laughter faltered, "Don't you know! I have now been promoted to the president of the Empire Adventurer's Guild. Let's go. There is an old acquaintance of yours among them. He is now the vice president of the Adventurers' Guild!"
After saying that, Whitebeard took Shanks and strode towards the Adventurers' Guild hall.
When the reporters who were surrounding saw the commotion, they also wanted to go in and witness this historical scene! But now they saw the navy blocking them in front of them under martial law.
Many reporters dare not barge in. Disrupting official business at the Empire is a very serious matter.
Just when many reporters were scratching their heads, Marco, wearing a black suit, walked out and glanced at many reporters.
"Today is destined to be a moment in history and the end of an era.
I know everyone wants to witness this moment, so remember to maintain order when entering.
Taking the press card issued by the Empire as an example, first-level reporters, second-level reporters, and third-level reporters enter in order, and the venue has been arranged.
Therefore, please understand that if any reporter dares to disrupt order, both he and the newspaper behind him will be banned by the Adventurer's Guild!"
As soon as Marco finished speaking, the reporters surrounding him burst into cheers.
"Long live Adventurer's Guild!"
"Long live Adventurer's Guild!"
At this moment, the reporters were caught up in the carnival. As for disturbing order, they would not dare to do anything without mentioning it.
After all, many reporters here pretend to be adventurers.
Seeing this, Marco nodded with satisfaction, and then a group of the Adventurers' Guild deacons began to come out to maintain order.
Marco smiled calmly at Sengoku and Garp.
"Would you like, two generals, to go in together? This time, all officers of your navy who are above the school level can participate. After all, pacifying this chaotic era cannot be separated from your navy!"
Garp and Sengoku looked at each other, nodded, and entered Adventurer's Guild with a large number of naval officers.
Looking at Marco who was dressed formally along the way, Garp couldn't help but grin, "Boy, this outfit looks much more pleasing to the eye now! Now I can hold any position at the Adventurers' Guild!"
Marco scratched his head, "Mr. Garp, I now work at the Adventurers Guild Special-Grade Steward, responsible for helping Pops!"
"Hahahaha, not bad! Not bad! Boy! You have a bright future!"
Sengoku on the side couldn't help laughing heartily.
Now it can be said that everything is perfect, and the old rivals who once cherished each other have become partners in the same camp.
And all the big pirates on the sea have been wiped out, and he will also witness the rising New Era.
This New Era is much better than the Great Pirate Era created by that bastard Roger.
At this time, Shanks entered the lobby of the Adventurers' Guild, and when he looked up, he saw a familiar figure.
Rayleigh, with white hair at the temples and a gentle and mature face, full of weather and frost, was looking at him with a smile.
"Vice... Vice Captain!" Shanks shouted in surprise.
"Why are you here!" Shanks pointed at Rayleigh and his eyes widened in disbelief.
"As you can see, now I have joined Empire and serve as the vice president of the Adventurer's Guild!"
Rayleigh stood up gently, walked to Shanks, and looked him up and down.
"Shanks, you have grown a lot! Now you are also the emperor of the sea. If the captain sees this scene, he will be very pleased!
After all, that skinny kid back then has now become a strong man who can stir up troubles on the sea."
However, at this moment, when Shanks looked at Rayleigh, he didn't sigh much, only a complicated look on his face, "Vice Captain, why is this!"
Rayleigh looked at Shanks with a complicated face and couldn't help but raise his head and laugh.
"Hahaha! Shanks! Don't you understand? The reason why the captain wanted to develop Great Pirate Era in the first place was because there was no better way.
After all, he doesn't have much time left, if he could see this era, he would definitely join Empire without hesitation!"
"After all, as a pirate himself, he knows very clearly what the nature of a pirate is, but compared to World Government's oppression and deception, we have no choice, you know!"
Looking at Rayleigh's increasingly serious eyes, Shanks opened his mouth and had nothing to say.
"Okay! Boy!" Rayleigh saw Shanks falling into silence and couldn't help but patted him on the shoulder.
"Now that freedom and order coexist, why are you still disappointed? Let go of the heavy shackles in your heart and boldly embrace this New Era!"
After saying that, Rayleigh picked up a document from the assistant behind him and handed it to Shanks.
"Sign this! Today you will be the last pirate. After today, there will be no place for pirates to survive in the world. And the era of Roger can end in your hands, you should be happy!"
"Because this is the choice of all people who yearn for freedom!"
Shanks took the document with a silent expression, turned to the first page of the document, and saw what was written above.
"Only those who dare to take risks can build stairs on the cliff!"
"Only those who dare to take risks can find more miracles in life!"
"I swear in the name of an adventurer that freedom is priceless, but my freedom will not harm anyone!"
This brief Adventurer's Oath made Shanks's pupils tremble. Somehow, suddenly, he could understand Rayleigh's choice.
This is indeed an era where freedom and order coexist, and such an era has never happened before on this sea. Even if the captain comes, he will be attracted by the unique charm of this era!
After all, at the beginning, the captain only wanted to have a free and adventurous adventure on the sea, but he accidentally climbed to the pinnacle of pirates and witnessed a history that made him feel ridiculous.
Thinking of this, Shanks picked up the pen on the side and it was no longer heavy. He signed his name without hesitation and pressed his fingerprint on the side.
This scene was quickly clicked by the reporters present.
When everything is over.
A shout echoed throughout the hall.
"Long live Empire!"
"The era of chaos is finally over, and in the future we will be able to go anywhere to shoot the scenery and stories we like!
I no longer have to worry about pirates appearing at any time. I have fantasized about this era for countless days and nights, and today I saw it, that is the light from the dawn of the Empire!"
The reporter's trembling voice completely ignited the beginning of this era.
In an instant, the entire hall erupted into even more intense shouts.
"Long live Empire!"
"Long live freedom!"
"Long live my emperor!"
All kinds of noisy sounds finally came together, and the bells of New Era erupted.
Shanks felt all this silently, feeling an indescribable touch in his heart.
"Maybe I was too narrow-minded in the past!"
Thinking of this, he raised his head and looked at the sky outside through the skylight of the Adventurers' Guild.
A flock of birds flew over Adventurer's Guild. At this moment, the birds were free, at least the sky belonged to them.
In the new era, the sea will belong to everyone in the world.
