This little girl's childhood is completely different from that in the original story.
Roy's involvement prevented Rebecca from spending her childhood in fear.
Her mother, Scarlet, was doing well on Hachinosu, and her father, Kyros, though busy training new recruits, made time for her every day.
And so many uncles and aunts dote on her; Yamato will carry her and fly her into the sky to play; Tesoro will make fireworks for her with lightning; Pea will teach her how to grow flowers.
Although Bullet is usually fierce, he's always the first to help her up whenever she falls.
Therefore, in this little girl's eyes, there was no fear, only anticipation for the future.
She wanted to become stronger, to become a powerful warrior like her sister Hancock, and to protect everyone on the island.
At the entrance to the training plaza, Bar was squatting on the ground, his right hand pressed against the stone pavement.
Their palms gradually became assimilated into the stone slab.
With a gentle press of his palm, a cracked stone slab in the northwest corner of the training square silently and automatically healed itself, leaving no trace of the crack.
The Island-Island Fruit —this Paramecia Fruit, under Bar's development, has shown astonishing potential.
He can become one with the entire Hachinosu, sensing every inch of the land, every rock, and every blade of grass.
Anyone who sets foot on the island without permission will be spotted by him immediately.
On several occasions, outsiders who attempted to approach the research base were discovered and subdued by Bar using the Island-Island Fruit before the soldiers could even detect them.
From then on, Bar was known as the " Iron Wall of Hachinosu," and as long as he was there, even Admiral- level forces would find it difficult to breach the island from the outside.
At the other end of the training plaza, a flash of sword light appeared.
Kazami sheathed his sword, and a hole appeared in the iron pillar in front of him.
The hole was only as thin as paper, but the entire iron pillar had been pierced through.
From front to back, the sword marks are as smooth as a mirror.
For the past three years, he has refused all opportunities to Devil Fruit, focusing solely on mastering swordsmanship.
Hawk Eyes taught him how to concentrate his sword intent, Bullet taught him how to hone his physique, and he incorporated the giant sword technique he had secretly learned from the Little Garden into his fast sword.
Although he has not yet broken through to the level of Great Swordsman, with the powerful physique he gained after the Bloodline Transplantation, even some long-established Great Swordsman are no match for him.
Not far away, Boa Sandersonia spread her Archaeopteryx wings and swooped down from the sky, her sharp talons grabbing a boulder weighing several tons from the ground.
Boa Marigold transformed into a blurry Phantom; the giant dragonfly moved so fast that it was impossible to see with the naked eye, flashing from the spot where the boulder had been lifted.
The two sisters' teamwork is already perfect, and with Hancock added, even if Admiral came, they should be able to hold them off for a while.
The veteran members of Hachinosu have also not stopped their efforts.
Crocodile's collaboration with Tesoro over the past three years has expanded their trading network to an unimaginable scale.
Seastone weapons trading, Devil Fruit intelligence trading, and New World trade and transportation—each of these involves transactions worth billions of Beli.
At the same time, with the help of this vast trade network, Crocodile, along with Moria, Lucci, and their group of four, expanded their intelligence network to an exaggerated extent.
Aside from the Navy and the World Government, which are two behemoths, Hachinosu's intelligence network is probably the largest.
Furthermore, although Bartholomew Kuma dislikes fighting, his strength is steadily increasing thanks to his physique and the exaggerated abilities of the ' Paw-Paw Fruit '.
Apart from a few individuals like Roy, Bullet, Hawk Eyes, Red Count, Tesoro, almost no one on Hachinosu could rival the Bear.
Kyros trained thousands of elite swordsmen. Moria's Zombie Army expanded to a size of tens of thousands, and most of the laborers on the island were also taken over by these zombies.
Lucci and his three companions formed the strongest special operations team on Hachinosu.
The entire force is like a sophisticated war machine, with every gear operating at high efficiency, accumulating increasingly terrifying power.
Roy stood at the highest point of the palace, watching the figures sweating profusely on the training field.
A smile unconsciously crept onto his lips.
The new generation has fully emerged, and each of them is a capable individual who can stand on their own in the New World.
A new era for this vast ocean is about to begin.
The port on Hachinosu is much busier than usual today.
The morning sun shines on the sea, turning the entire bay golden.
On both sides of the port, thousands of genetically engineered soldiers stood in neat rows, wearing black uniforms and gold Hachinosu insignia. Each of them stood ramrod straight, their eyes piercing.
On the port's flagpole, the Roy Pirates ' flag fluttered in the sea breeze.
On the dock,
Almost all of the core members of the Roy Pirates were present.
Bullet crossed his arms and squinted at the approaching red sailboat on the horizon.
Tesoro hovered in mid-air, his body crackling with faint lightning.
Hawk Eyes stood at the front, his hand on the hilt of Black Blade Yoru, a rare smile playing on his lips.
"They've arrived."
Roy's voice wasn't loud, but everyone could hear it clearly.
On the horizon, a huge red sailboat cuts through the waves and heads toward the port of Hachinosu.
The dragon head statue at the bow gleamed in the sunlight, and the flamboyant Red Hair Pirates flag on the mainmast seemed to be making a declaration.
The Red Voss.
As the ship slowly docked, the genetically engineered soldiers at the port collectively stood at attention and paid their respects.
The gangway was lowered, and the first person to set foot on Hachinosu was a Red Hair man wearing Straw Hat.
Shanks wore a black cloak, his right hand habitually resting on the hilt of Gryphon's sword, the brim of his Straw Hat hat slightly upturned, revealing his smiling eyes.
Behind him, the core members of the Red Hair Pirates were all present—Ben Beckman with a cigarette in his mouth, Yasopp carrying a sniper rifle, Lucky Roux always with a bone in his hand, and there were also Monster, Limejuice, Benk Punch, Rockstar...
Each and every one of them was a powerful figure who had made a name for himself in the New World.
Roy stood in the center of the dock, hands in his pockets, a smile as always on his lips.
Shanks saw him and paused.
The two stood a dozen paces apart, staring at each other for a moment. Then they both laughed.
Roy.
Shanks.
The two stepped forward, clasped their right hands together, and cracked their knuckles.
After shaking hands, the two simultaneously shook their wrists and then burst into laughter.
"You rascal, you've gotten even stronger in three years," Shanks, swinging his wrist with a grin.
"You're not bad either."
Roy withdrew his hand.
"I heard you've been causing quite a stir at New World these past three years."
"It's alright, it's passable."
Shanks scratched the back of his head, his expression exactly the same as when he was an apprentice crew member on Roger's ship.
"We beat up a few old guys, seized some territory, and barely managed to establish a foothold."
Beckman exhaled a smoke ring behind him and added quietly:
"He makes it sound so easy. In reality, he was almost thrown off the Sky Island three times by the Golden Lion."
He had two ribs broken by Whitebeard's attack, was chased by Big Mom's Homies across six or seven islands, and was Kaido.
"Hey, hey, hey! Beckman! Can you stop undermining me in front of Roy?!" Shanks turned around, his face full of protest.
Beckman ignored him and continued smoking.
Roy smiled, shook his head, and stepped aside to make way.
"Don't stand here in the sea breeze. A banquet has been prepared at the palace."
Let's eat first, and talk about anything else while we eat.
