What Is One Piece?
"I know exactly what you're thinking!"
Rocks's eyes sharpened. "Once you steal someone else's fruit, you've broken the rules. Who would dare to come after that?"
"You want me to go find an unclaimed fruit? Don't be ridiculous! The probability of that happening is as laughable as the ocean spontaneously unleashing a storm and sparing Roger!"
The Golden Lion's face turned ashen, and Rocks's expression also darkened.
"Are you defying my orders?"
"Don't think you can order me around like that. The alliance is based on equality!"
The two were at loggerheads, seemingly ready to fight at the slightest provocation.
Dimon found it amusing; humans were indeed troublesome, each with their own selfish motives. In comparison, the demons of the Seven Deadly Sins were much simpler, each one utterly loyal.
In the end, Harald stepped forward and comforted the two.
"If you keep arguing like this, our alliance will fall apart tomorrow."
For the sake of his revenge plan, Rocks held back, letting out a cold snort and saying nothing more.
If Golden Lion really attacks anyone attending the Pirate Carnival, he'll personally stop him... or, he'll just lock him up.
"Mamamama~"
Big Mom chuckled twice. She had seen this kind of scene many times before, but back then, it was usually the others who backed down. It was rare to see Rocks get the short end of the stick.
"Hey, Lord of the Seven Deadly Sins, I want a bottle too! You sent people to steal my things back then, so let's call it even, how about it?"
Hehehe...
Dimon laughed, "I stole it with my own skills, why should I compensate you?"
That old hag is having wildly unrealistic ideas.
Charlotte Linlin's smile froze.
"Enough, stop arguing."
Whitebeard sighed, "The alliance is in a worse state than the Rocks Pirates were back then. At least Rocks could keep everyone in check. Now, nobody respects him."
"If you want the Longevity Wine, then find a way to get your own Devil Fruit. Can't you even do something like that?"
He's definitely on the Lord's side, after all, the Lord gave him a bottle.
Golden Lion and Charlotte Linlin stared at Whitebeard's youthful face, their envy mixed with a snort of dissatisfaction.
Seeing that the farce was over, Rocks finally spoke in a deep voice:
"At least during the carnival, you cannot attack people who come here at will."
"Tell me your specific plans, Rocks." Kaido grinned, clearly enjoying the spectacle.
Rocks said slowly:
"The plan is simple: the whole world already knows about my and Harald's resurrection."
"As long as we spread the word that our resurrection is linked to the Wine of Immortality, people all over the world will flock to it."
"After..."
Hearing this, the Whitebeard frowned:
"If it's just a rumor, things may not develop as you expect."
Your resurrection is a very bizarre situation in itself, with all sorts of rumors circulating. Even if the news is released, it might be dismissed as someone's wild speculation.
"You're right, but let me finish."
Rocks grinned. Even fools become smarter when they're up to no good.
"After I died, that Roger guy found the Laugh Tale and left behind the legend of the 'One Piece'."
"All we need to do is... release the news that you have found the One Piece, and the so-called treasure is the [Wine of Immortality!]."
"You used it to resurrect me and Harald, while secretly spreading false information that Roger didn't actually die back then. He had already obtained the Wine of Immortality, but deliberately faked his death during his execution to escape, and is still alive somewhere in the world."
"Linking resurrection, immortality, and the One Piece greatly increases its credibility."
"The whole world will go crazy then, and we'll take the opportunity to announce Pirate Carnival. Anyone who can bring Devil Fruit to Hachinosu will be given the Wine of Immortality in exchange."
Clap clap clap
Applause erupted.
The one clapping was none other than Dimon.
It must be said that Rocks' plan was quite thorough. If he were an ordinary pirate, upon hearing such rumors, he would at least believe them to some extent, if not completely.
"Lord, what do you think of this plan?" Rocks looked up at the Lord, whose whereabouts were unknown.
"A good plan, but I'd like to kindly remind you that when the news comes, it won't just be pirates who are drawn here."
The wealthy, those in power, bounty hunters, and even Celestial Dragons.
Who wouldn't want eternal life?
Even among the Celestial Dragons, only the Five Elders possess the power of immortality. The Holy Knights, and the ordinary Celestial Dragons below them, all age.
"Hahaha..."
Rocks laughed loudly, his laughter filled with madness. "Of course I know, so if I really do die again, I'll leave it to you then."
"Then I wish you good luck."
Dimon smiled, left a message, and then cut off contact with Ain.
Rocks stood up, slammed his hand on the table, and glanced at everyone.
"Then let the plan begin. You each find a way to spread the news, especially you, Newgate. The fact that you've become younger will soon be in the World Economy News Paper Journal."
Whitebeard had no intention of hiding it; the reason the outside world didn't know was simply because his subordinates hadn't spread the word.
"Understood, I'll have my pirate crew do it."
After saying that, he was the first to get up and leave.
After he left, Kaido also went to the window.
"I'm going back to Wano Country. As for the plan you mentioned, I'll have someone carry it out. But, Rocks, don't forget the Alliance's ultimate goal is to eliminate the Celestial Dragons! I'm waiting, waiting for that massive war to break out! Hehehehe..."
With a hearty laugh, Kaido transformed into a blue dragon, soared into the sky, and vanished into the clouds in the blink of an eye.
Then, Charlotte Linlin and Golden Lion stood up at the same time and looked at each other.
Golden Lion grinned and said, "You're going to find Devil Fruit?"
"None of your business."
"If you have any extras, remember to send me one. Even if you drink alcohol, your figure won't go back to normal, hahaha."
Charlotte Linlin had no interest in paying attention to such low-level mockery; she'd heard it too many times in the past few days.
I'll deal with these bastards when I get young again.
As the two left, the lively conference room gradually quieted down.
Harald shook his head. "Rocks, your plan is good, but it can be better. Why not..."
Before he could finish speaking, Rocks waved his hand.
"I know what you're going to say. You want to ask why we didn't resurrect Roger? If he were resurrected, the plan would be flawless."
"That's right, Roger found the Laugh Tale, and countless people witnessed his death. If he were to step forward, no one would doubt him..."
"I know Roger; that guy will never cooperate with me!"
Rocks shook his head. If Roger were to be resurrected, the first thing he would probably do is seek out Roger and start a fight.
Besides, he doesn't have the ability to resurrect others, and the corpses are still in the hands of the Golden Lion.
Harald thought it made sense, so he said nothing more, got up, and left with a bow.
Rocks walked to the window and looked out at the city on Hachinosu.
By hosting a carnival and winning against all the pirate crews through the One Piece game, the New Rocks Pirates can expand to a terrifying size in one fell swoop.
After completing this step, then take action against the navy and drive them out of the New World.
In this New World, this sea needs only one voice!
As for seeking revenge against the World Government... Imu's power is too great, but fortunately, the other side cannot easily leave the Holy Land, so we can slowly find a way.
"Um?"
As he pondered his revenge plan, Rocks suddenly frowned and turned to look at the door.
An ugly, fat man pushed open the door and entered.
"Who are you?"
Looking at the man's face, Rocks felt a vague sense of familiarity.
Blackbeard stared intently at Rocks, just as he remembered his own father.
These past few days, he had been secretly observing Rocks. He needed to confirm that Rocks was indeed Davy D. Xebec, and not some imposter with Devil Fruit User.
Blackbeard took a deep breath, surprisingly feeling a little nervous.
"Pops..."
Rocks froze for a moment, then his pupils shrank dramatically. "You're not... Teach?!"
Wano Country, Onigashima, Skull Dome.
"Brother Werewolf, how's my strength?"
Who's Who, one of the Tobi Roppo and a member of the Beasts Pirates, stood behind the sofa with a bruised and swollen face, vigorously massaging Lycaon's shoulders.
"Didn't you eat? Huh? Put some effort into it."
Lycaon sat with his legs crossed, as if he were at home, enjoying fresh grapes while receiving a massage.
Across from him, Nika devoured the food on the table, quickly stuffing it into his mouth.
He asked vaguely:
"Has the Time-Time Fruit not been found yet?"
"... Almost there, almost found it!"
Who's-Who chuckled, cursing inwardly, "I'll deal with you two bastards when Kaido gets back!"
Chapter 251 What is One Piece?
Foz-Freud recalled a few days earlier.
These two bastards suddenly showed up at his door. He stepped forward to fight them off and got slapped by Nika, which immediately brought him to his senses.
After a great disturbance, the Beasts Pirates were defeated by one person.
Lycaon didn't lift a finger the entire time; it was just one of the Seven Deadly Sins' executives who took care of them all.
Before them, the two All-Stars, Jhin and Jack, had already been defeated.
The rest is history.
These two usurped the position, issuing orders and commanding everyone to search for a Devil Fruit for them.
Sighing inwardly, "When will Kaido return..."
"Um?"
Nika suddenly stopped enjoying her food.
"What's wrong, Lord Gluttony?"
"A very strong aura is approaching this way."
Lycaon closed his eyes and sensed it, then blurted out, "It's Kaido of the Four Emperors, back!"
After saying that, he suddenly realized what he had said and his face was filled with shock.
