Chapter IX
" If Roger is the king on the surface, then he is the emperor who deliberately hides in Roger's shadow. He was once the world's strongest, the world's greatest sword hero. He was also the most dazzling star in that era. Everyone who fought with him would be subdued by his monstrous strength.”
" Until that incident fourteen years ago, he was called the world's evilest person, the evilest criminal in history, and the evilest pirate in history. It was to the point that the World Government felt humiliated. At that time, Brother Kong led the Sengoku and Zefa, as well as more than ten navy generals, including myself, Porusalino, and Sakasugi, to secretly launch the Demon Slayer Order and eliminate all information about him.”
"What did he do?" Tao Tu asked in shock. The Demon Slayer Tokens of two former admirals, one general, one legendary hero, and two current admirals were powers that were impossible to use in her impression. This power was enough to make the entire sea lose balance.
After a long silence, Karp said with a mixture of nostalgia and admiration,"
" He brought Fishertiger with him and barged into the Holy Land of Marychoa. He single-handedly created the great event fourteen years ago.”
" The Marijoya Dragon Massacre.”
"Fourteen years ago? Wait, Karp." " What happened fourteen years ago?" Peach Bunny interrupted in surprise." Wasn't it Fisherman Tiger who climbed the Red Earth Continent bare-handed and landed on Marychoa?" That incident had indeed caused a great deal of chaos, but he had never heard of Noah's existence.”
"Humph, it's all because of those scumbags from the Heavenly Dragon Tribe and the government.”Karp mocked with disdain.
" Mary Joshua, the world's biggest vermin, is the home of the Heavenly Dragon Tribe. Not only are the five old men living there, but there are also the powerful members of the notorious CP spy team secretly protecting them. There are also powerful slaves controlled by the Heavenly Dragon Tribe. A Murloc broke in barehanded and turned the place upside down. You actually believe this story, but it's just a cover-up on the surface.”
"What about the truth? Karp." Tina pressed her hands against the table as she asked urgently.
" The truth is that Noah, that lunatic, wielded his knife at the highest authority in this world and slaughtered Mary Joshua. Fishertiger's slave liberation was just a by-product of this massacre.”
" That lunatic killed more than half of the Heavenly Dragon Tribe. I'm not too sure about the actual number, but I'm afraid that it was more than half. After that, the Heavenly Dragon Tribe that used to bully the four seas all retreated to the Holy Land of Mary Qiaoya. At that time, no, even now, this matter was regarded as a disgrace to the world government. It's been blocked by the government."
" Even in that era, only a few great pirates knew about this secret. Without a doubt, Noah was the most dazzling star in the early days of Roger's great pirate era. Even after Roger's pirate group disbanded, in the eyes of the big shots at that time, he was a figure that was even more terrifying than White Beard.”Karp sounded nostalgic, and there was a slight smile on his face.
In fact, that was indeed the case. If it weren't for the navy and the pirates, he and Roger Roya would have become very good brothers. Those two people were the kind of people he recognized. Their dazzling charisma couldn't be concealed by their identity as pirates.
"What happened after that?"
"After that?" Karp clenched his fists, and his eyes instantly darkened."The government launched the strongest Demon Slayer Token to date. Three supreme combat forces led the team, as well as the experts dispatched by the government, to secretly encircle Noah.”
" Don't blame Sengoku for being so excited. You don't know how powerful that person was. Sakasugi and Porusalino, who were already the substitute generals, were seriously injured and dying. Almost all the strong people in the CP team were wiped out. That was a power that surpassed the current four emperors.”
" The biggest Demon Slayer in history lasted for ten days and ten nights. In the end, the government won, but it was only a miserable victory. If it weren't for the intense competition for the Four Emperors in the New World, the navy would have been in an extremely difficult situation.”
" And this is also the second pirate to be directly killed after Roger. The government didn't even dare to choose to execute him publicly. Under the witness of me, Sengoku, Zefa, Brother Kong, and Little Crane, they gave the most evil pirate in history his death.”
"And Noah's story ended here, sealed away forever. Until now, only the few people who once stood at the top know of his existence.”Karp said sadly.
Just like the current him and the old White Beard, the era was moving forward, and no matter how strong a person was, they would still lose to the era. White Beard said that this era did not have a ship that could carry him, so was he. He was just a remnant of the old era.
Roger, Shiki, Riley, White Beard, Waldo, and even his comrade Zefa had either died, retired, or gone on another path. One by one, his old friends disappeared in the tide of the new era. How long could he, a retired lieutenant general, last?
"Sigh." Noah's story had come to an end. The government and the navy should have been happy about their victory, but for some reason, Tao Tu, Cha Puffen, Tina, and Kirby, the elites of the navy, all had mixed feelings at this moment. They felt both admiration and shame.
They admired him for brandishing his sword at the highest authority in the world and slaughtering the dregs of the world's highest nobles. They were also ashamed that the navy was intimidated by him alone. That kind of inhuman strength seemed to mock their justice.
"Noah, how much of your strength have your descendants inherited? It was clearly impossible for me to regain that kind of power, but why did my heart feel so uneasy?”Karp took a sip of wine and thought to himself, his eyes full of worry.
There were still some things he did not say. The last words Noah said when he witnessed Noah's death.
" What an honor. Kong, Karp, Zhan Guo, Zefa, and He, the five supreme combat powers, witnessed the death of a little pirate like me. However, I won't really die. The next time I return, I'll bring even greater power. Help me tell that rat in the depths of the Holy Land that I will smash his throne next time.”
Karp, who had always been a joker, ate silently. The others did not say anything else. They could tell that Karp was hiding something, but they did not ask any more questions. Just what they had heard today was enough to shock them.
"The most evil pirate, Gor D Roya.”Tina mumbled to herself as she suddenly recalled the words that man had said to her. The lights of the old era seemed to connect her to something, but she just couldn't figure it out.
After thinking about it, she didn't say it out loud. After all, with the combat strength that person had displayed, if the Zhan Guo Marshal really sent out his generals to hunt him down, he wouldn't be able to escape.
In a certain sea area of the new world.
Noah, who had already crossed the Red Earth Continent, sneezed twice as he stood on the deck.
"Is someone talking about me?" Noah rubbed his nose." How strange. There are still people who remember me in this era. Karp?" Warring States? It's still that bastard Shiki."
