One piece : The God Slayer

Chapter 17: Rocks



"Hey~ is it going to start again? Big Boss Tiger's devilish training!"

Hearing this, several little fishmen were full of fear.

The same scene was being played out on many different islands at this time.

Fishman Island, Zou, the Taina Kaina Kingdom where the Longarm Tribe are located, and so on.

All slaves who were freed by Rono, regardless of race, were now telling the great deeds of this [Hero] Rono in their hometown!

Such deeds have attracted countless young and young spiritual admirers.

Many people regarded [Hero] Rono as their idol and vowed to strive to become a hero like Rono in the future!

The trajectory of the development of things, I am afraid, even Rono himself was a little unexpected.

Rono's deeds were also circulated in the Vorka Kingdom on the Grand Line.

"Rono, is he the one who saved many brothers of the Oni Tribe?"

Young Kaido picked up a newspaper and was immediately drawn to its content.

"Robbery of the Heavenly Tribute...! The reason why my country is constantly at war is because of the Heavenly Tribute." Kaido said to himself, recalling what the adults had said to him before.

Because they wanted to win against the enemy and steal money to pay the Heavenly Tribute, his hometown had been in the midst of war.

"It's amazing, if I can rob the Heavenly Tribute from other places like Rono, there will be no war in my hometown."

Kaido muttered to himself, a little envious of Rono.

At this moment, suddenly, a large net fell from the sky in the dark, covering Kaido.

"Hey, Kaido, you were sold to the navy! Our country can no longer hold you!"

A dozen members of the king's guards appeared immediately and worked together to capture Kaido.

"Damn, don't use me as a political tool! I don't want to be a lackey in the world!"

Kaido shouted angrily, trying to break free, but found that the rope was too strong for him to escape.

"No way, as long as you join the navy, we will be able to participate in the World Conference!"

The dozen or so guards completely ignored Kaido's pleas and threw him on the warship.

....

New World, Pirate Island, Hachinosu.

This is the base camp of the famous Rocks Pirates.

"It's incredible, it's incredible! Something big has happened!"

"What's the big deal?"

"Didn't you watch the news? A newcomer named Rono took the Heavenly Tribute and got a bounty of 500 million Berries for the first time!"

"What? 500 million Berries, you're joking. Golden Lion, Captain Charlotte Linlin only got a bounty of over 600 million, why should this newcomer get 500 million!"

"Absolutely no joking. If you don't believe me, read today's newspaper."

A dozen members of the Rocks Pirates gathered together, constantly shocked by the deeds reported in the newspapers.

"What's so noisy?"

At this moment, there was a tall, muscular man with gorgeous golden shoulder-length hair, and most importantly, this man had a beard that curved upwards like a crescent moon on his face.

That's right, this is the famous "world's strongest pirate" Whitebeard who would rule for almost an era in the future!

Although his beard at this time was still golden, he liked others to call him [Whitebeard]!

"Captain Whitebeard!"

Seeing the person coming, the pirates also respectfully called out.

The Captain of the First Division of the Rocks Pirates, Edward Newgate!

He is also the most powerful and most trustworthy man in the pirate group besides Rocks himself.

"Well, what happened, is there any newcomer?" Whitebeard asked with interest as he looked at the group of pirates.

He had already heard some clues just now, as if it was about a rookie pirate or something.

"Captain Whitebeard, read the newspaper."

A pirate minion handed the newspaper to Whitebeard, and Whitebeard was not polite. He picked up the newspaper and read it.

The more he looked, the more Whitebeard's complexion changed.

After reading the contents of the newspaper, Whitebeard also sighed in relief.

"An incredible guy has appeared in the sea again. Have you notified Rocks about this?"

Whitebeard asked the pirate minions.

This newcomer named Rono has awakened the three-color high-level Haki. His strength is already powerful, but his potential is even more terrifying, and he likes to target the Celestial Dragons.

Rocks must be very interested in this newcomer.

"Not yet... We haven't seen Admiral Rocks yet." The pirate minion answered truthfully.

At this moment, a pirate minion suddenly ran in front of Whitebeard, running out of breath, and it was clear from his expression that it was very important:

"White... Captain Whitebeard, Admiral Rocks is looking for you and asks you to see him immediately, saying that he has a very important matter!"

"I see, take me there." Whitebeard had already expected this after seeing the news about Rono.

Sure enough, when Whitebeard saw Rocks' first face, Rocks said straight to the point: "Whitebeard, a newcomer has appeared in the sea recently. Do you know?"

"I just found out." Whitebeard raised the newspaper in his hand.

"Very well, what do you think of this newcomer?" Rocks asked.

After thinking for a while, Whitebeard said: "At the age of 17, he awakened the tri-color Haki, and the tri-color Haki has reached a high-level. His talent is rare for decades. Give him some time, and he will definitely grow into a monster!"

Then Whitebeard paused, and there was another sentence he thought about but didn't say.

That is, as long as he is given time, Rono can even grow into a monster beyond Rocks!

After hearing Whitebeard's evaluation, the corners of Rocks' mouth also formed a clever arc.

Who is Rocks? He is the king of this era. Even if he is as strong as Whitebeard, it is difficult to hide something in front of Rocks.

Of course, Rocks understood what Whitebeard didn't say.

This guy, Rono, is stronger than himself at the same age, and it is very likely that he will surpass him in the future!

But Rocks didn't care. Instead, he said with great interest: "Interesting, it's rare for you to give such an evaluation."

This guy Whitebeard is still arrogant on most days.

After all, he is the strongest person in the Rocks Pirates other than himself.

There are not many people in the entire Rocks Pirates who can be admired by Whitebeard. Now that he has given such a high evaluation to a young kid who is just starting out, it seems that his guess is correct.

This Rono is a talent worth nurturing and will also be a great help for him to overthrow the rule of the Celestial Dragons in the future!

Then Rocks threw a document to Whitebeard: "And this document, look at it."

Like the Navy, Rocks conducted an investigation into Rono's background.

As the only king of the New World, Rocks is a big man who can navigate both the light and dark sides, and the intelligence network is spread all over the world. The background check on Rono was very simple.

"Watching the Celestial Dragons kill his parents, it's no wonder that he aimed at the Heavenly Tribute as soon as he went out to sea."

After reading the document, Whitebeard also suddenly realized, it seems that he is another guy who targets the Celestial Dragons.

At the same time, Whitebeard's heart also developed a lot of empathy for Rono.

After all, the most important thing for Whitebeard is his family. If he watched his parents die in front of his eyes, he would definitely go mad!

Hearing this, Rocks also nodded: "I like this guy very much. Such a genius should not be left out and should stay in the Rocks Pirates."

Although Rocks has a cruel personality, he still appreciates powerful geniuses very much.

Otherwise, the Rocks Pirates would not have recruited so many strong men like Whitebeard, Golden Lion, Charlotte Linlin, and so on.

It can be said that most of the powerhouses in the sea are almost all in the Rocks Pirates.

Whitebeard immediately understood what Rocks meant when he heard the words, but he was still a little unhappy: "Why are you looking for me for this kind of thing?"
