Not long after, the news that Shakuyaku quit Kuja Pirates and retired to Hachinosu spread all over the world.
New World In a certain sea area, on Oro Jackson, the captain Roger is lying on the side of the ship looking glumly at the sea in the distance.
"Captain! Captain Roger, Shakuyaku have opened stores in Pirate Island, and they are said to have received high praise!"
A crew member shouted loudly and reported the news to Roger.
"When I heard that Shakuyaku abdicated Empress, I almost thought I would never see her again, which made us sad for a long time!"
"Now we know where she is, we can go see her!!"
"But Pirate Island is Rocks's territory!"
The members of Roger Pirates had a heated discussion surrounding the news that Shakuyaku was hiding in Hachinosu. They were so excited that they wanted to go to Hachinosu to look for Shakuyaku, but they were concerned that it was Rocks's territory.
In this lively discussion, only Gaban discovered the anomaly of Roger, so he quietly found Rayleigh.
"Rayleigh, I noticed it! Roger's unhappiness started after the last time you two talked alone in the captain's cabin, so did you say something?"
Gaban had a gossipy look on his face and whispered on Rayleigh's shoulder, while Rayleigh was very coy about this.
"No, didn't say anything!"
Rayleigh pretended to be calm in denial, but his mind was drawn back to a secret meeting he and Roger had in the captain's room not long ago. Roger took the initiative to find him for this reason. In the previous battle with Kuja Pirates, Shakuyaku suddenly fainted. At that time, Roger noticed that Shakuyaku quietly slipped him a note before fainting.
So of course, Roger thought that note was a love letter from Shakuyaku to Rayleigh, and the fact was almost the same. In the note, Shakuyaku asked Rayleigh to pick her up.
But Rayleigh is very hesitant about this. It would be a lie to say that he is not attracted by a woman like Shakuyaku, but Rayleigh feels that once he accepts it, it means restraint, so he has been unable to make a choice for so long.
And Roger is unhappy precisely because of this. Shakuyaku, whom he likes, has fallen in love with his best brother and deputy captain. No one will be in a good mood.
It's just that Roger's depression will never last long. Time is pulled back to the present, and he who was still depressed suddenly suddenly became energetic and full of energy.
"Everyone! I will not give up!!"
Clenching his fists, Roger cheered himself up in front of all the members.
"Plundering is the nature of a pirate. Whatever you want, you have to get it!
What I said is right, brothers!!"
Seeing Roger in high spirits, all the crew members smiled.
"Are you talking about Shakuyaku?"
"That is to say, why is Shakuyaku on the island of Rocks? But even so, opportunities are equal for everyone, go and get her!"
Along with Roger, the crew members were also full of energy and vowed to take Shakuyaku back from Rocks's territory.
West Blue God Valley,
Saint Garling abandoned all his men and landed here alone,
Not long ago, one of his subordinates reported to him that this island seemed to contain rich resources, but it had not yet been officially identified, so he came to take a look.
As soon as he landed on the island, he received the news that Shakuyaku was officially living in seclusion at Hachinosu, which made him feel very bad.
He had already heard about the most beautiful woman in the world, and after learning some of her deeds, he was determined to get her. He wanted to bring her back to Holy Land to become one of his many wives. To this end, he had sent his men many times in the past two years. He tried to attack Kuja Pirates, but was resolved one by one by the other party. Just when he wanted to personally take action this time and completely take the other party back, the other party chose to retreat, and also retreated to a place where he would never dare to set foot.
"Damn it!"
He stood there with a pale face, but he was helpless. He was in Hachinosu and protected by Rocks Pirates. Shakuyaku was an existence that he could no longer shake in a short period of time, so he could only stay in place and rage.
At this moment, a Red-Hair woman wearing a pink dress passed him by on the street.
"Eh!"
This woman's appearance and temperament immediately attracted his attention.
The woman is slender and slender, with a gentle and feminine temperament. She is a rare beauty that makes it difficult for people to look away after just one glance.
Then Saint Garling raised a faint smile at the corner of his mouth,
"Since we can't get Shakuyaku for the time being, it would be a good idea to take this woman back."
Saint Garling, who wanted this woman to serve as Shakuyaku's substitute for a while, immediately followed her.
As for how to take these women back, it is very simple for him as Celestial Dragons. Regardless of whether the other party agrees or not, he can just snatch them back and then throw them away when he is tired of playing with them. This is what he has done for so many years before.
"Stop!"
Saint Garling followed the woman to a small alley, and when he was about to take action, he discovered that someone was one step ahead of him.
Four or five strong men blocked the woman's way, stretching out their hands to pull her away.
But the seemingly weak woman is stronger than she looks. Faced with this situation, instead of showing weakness, she tried to resist with her own strength.
"Interesting!"
Seeing this scene, Saint Garling raised his lips and suddenly decided to change his previous thoughts.
Then with a "swish" sound, the Western sword on his waist was unsheathed and appeared in front of the woman at an extremely fast speed. Then, before everyone could react to what happened, he completed his slash.
"It's okay!"
Turning around and looking at the woman he was protecting behind him, Saint Garling returned the sword to its sheath, showed a handsome and gentle smile, and asked the other party with great concern.
"No... it's okay!"
The woman looked at his noble face, and then at the strong men who had just been killed in an instant, and her heart skipped a beat.
If a young nobleman like Garling, who wants good looks and good looks as well as strength and power, appears in front of a woman in such a situation where a hero saves a beauty, how much more lethal would he be?
For a moment, the woman's face turned red with embarrassment.
A few months later, on Hachinosu, Rocks Pirates took action again. This time their target was West Blue and a certain World Government-affiliated Countries. It didn't take long for them to cross Calm Belt, all the way from New World to West Blue.
Arriving at this sea area again, Oak was filled with emotions. Strictly speaking, this sea area can be regarded as his hometown.
It's just that the memories this hometown gave him were not really beautiful, but rather cruel.
When he was 5 years old, he lost his parents and his village in this sea. When he was 10 years old, he was sent to the battlefield to become a murderous executioner. When he was 15 years old, he was stabbed in the back by the state and was almost sold to World Government as a laboratory rat.
