the first chapter
Year 23 of the Great Pirate Era.
It had been a year since the war on the top. Since Roger's death, which ended the old era and ushered in the era of the great pirates, this year was the most turbulent year in the sea, other than the years after Roger's death.
The navy, the four kings, and the seven kings, the sea of martial arts. The balance of the three forces was completely destroyed the moment the strongest man in the world died. The words of the man named White Beard before his death caused this era to go completely berserk.
Pirates who chased their dreams, pirates who went out to sea in greed for treasures, navies that maintained justice, world governments that let things slide, world nobles who were still indulging in enjoyment, revolutionary armies that secretly accumulated strength, pirates who immersed themselves in their own territories, and an evil era that wanted to challenge authority.
The reshuffling of new forces, the ascension of the covetous, the implementation of absolute justice, the destruction of balance, and the chaos of order. Almost everyone would think that this was an era of chaos, with countless eyes of the storm completely messing up the sea, just like the struggle for the four kings when the Great Pirate Era had just begun.
However, the end of the turmoil was beyond everyone's imagination. The rapid replenishment of the Seven Kings 'Sea of Martial Arts, Blackbeard's ability to absorb White Beard's inheritance far surpassed that of the great pirates, the indifference of the other three emperors, Sakasugi's decisiveness after he ascended the throne, and the success of the World Conscription.
After Roger's era, there were several years of turmoil. Until the four emperors were chosen and White Beard's era ended, it was strangely peaceful. It was so peaceful that ordinary people felt at ease, but it also made the real strong feel cold. No one would think that the emperor who was once as famous as Roger had died so peacefully.
He was destined to be like Roger, a key to open up this crazy world. When a huge eye of the storm dissipated, countless small eyes of the storm would be born, stirring and undercurrents would surge. This crazy world would completely go berserk with only a little spark left.
The peace at this moment was destined to be the final moment for smart people to prepare for war. Everyone tacitly maintained their silence. No one would be the real eye of the storm first, the person who would use himself to ignite this era. They were all silently holding back and watching.
No matter who it was, be it the Great General, the Four Princes, the Army Captain, the Seven Martial Seas, or even those who stood at the back of the world, it was as if they had the highest authority to control everything.
………
The sea sees the beginning of the world, the sea watches the origin of the world.
The sea knows the end of the world, the sea also knows the end of the world
You're tempting me into the path, so lead me to the path I should take
The world is right, so guide me to the right world
Pain, pain, pain
Big

Under his gentle gaze, a three-masted sailboat sailed on the blue and calm sea. The hull was made of noble mahogany, and the three large sails were dark in color, giving people a heavy and ancient feeling.
Moreover, there was no need to use a three-masted design with the size of this small sailboat. In the current era, most small sailboats were single-masted. This design was more like an old-fashioned design from decades ago. Coupled with the ancient ram design on the bow that had been eliminated by the times, it was like an antique ship that had traveled through time and space.
The old-fashioned antique ship and the heavy music always gave people a strange feeling, especially the pirate logo on the bow. The standard skull was interwoven with two dark flags. Perhaps it was a matter of color, but it was not like other pirate symbols. It was more like a skeleton representing the undead.
"As expected, I still can't appreciate it. Although it's very good, it's too heavy. You have to know that I'm a young man full of vigor now.”
At this moment, a young voice came from the strange ship, breaking the atmosphere that enveloped the ship. It was as if vitality was instantly injected into it. Even the strange fog that enveloped the ship began to slowly dissipate, as if the entire ship had come alive.
The warm sunlight shone on the deck. Unexpectedly, this seemingly ancient ship had very fashionable furniture on the deck.
Under the huge parasol was a round white wooden table. A cold drink was placed on the table. The antique phonograph was spinning bit by bit. The song from before had come from here.
Beside the round table, on a long white recliner, sat a young man who didn't match the temperament of the ship. He had black hair and black eyes. He was tall and well-proportioned. He was only wearing a pair of beach shorts, and the streamlined muscles on his upper body were exposed to the air.
The young man's face could be considered handsome, but the lazy aura at the moment ruined his handsomeness, giving people a very lazy feeling.
"This kind of heavy song should be left for those old men who are preparing to climb out of their graves to listen to. I wonder if the effect of increasing the cohesion of the crew mentioned by the system is true.”The young man sighed and reached out to stop the record player. The atmosphere instantly became lonely. This was inevitable. After all, the young man was the only one on this ship.
The young man's name was Noah. He was the captain of this antique ship and the only crew member.
This was the first half of the great sea route, and it was close to Chambord's archipelago. Although the influence of White Beard's death was suppressed by the navy and the four emperors in the New World, the first half of the great sea route became lively. Because of White Beard's words before he died, many pirates ran to the sea, and it was like the era of the great pirates was repeating itself.
However, judging from the situation this year, there were very few outstanding rookies, not to mention Hawkeye, Moria, Krogdal, and the others who were at the beginning of Roger's death. Even compared to the little ghosts of the so-called Evil Era who had been in the limelight a few years ago, there was still a huge gap.
However, this did not have much to do with Noah. It was better to say that even those who had grown up or had great potential were not worthy of his attention.
Although he was just a pirate rookie on the outside, being a human was only on the outside.
"Oh, there's news. Is there anything interesting happening recently?”
A crisp and sharp bird cry sounded. Noah, who was lying on the recliner, looked up and threw a 100-berry coin into the sky. A seagull wearing a white hat escaped from the flock of birds and landed a newspaper on the boat.
Picking up the newspaper, Noah did not have much hope. After all, Morgense, the boss of News Bird, was also a guy without integrity. Most of his news was exaggerated, but in the chaotic and vast pirate world, this was indeed a good window to understand the current world situation.
Otherwise, Morgense wouldn't have become one of the giants of the Underworld.
"Oh, interesting." Noah received the newspaper, and the headline immediately caught his attention.
"The New World is in turmoil. White Beard's remnant party, Immortal Bird Marko, and the leader of the alliance team have agreed to fight Blackbeard Ditch in White Beard's territory.”
" Whether the dignity of the fourth emperor is preserved or the new four emperors are born, the collision of the new era and the old era will begin in a week.”
"The time has come." The hand holding the newspaper dropped, revealing a face that was no longer dejected. Noah's lips curled into a calm yet sharp smile, and his eyes revealed a domineering look, as if he was a true emperor of the sea.
"No one can stop it. This era is about to go berserk.”
