On the blue and calm sea, a naval warship was slowly sailing on the surface.
On the deck of the warship, a burly man stood quietly. He frowned as he looked at the sea in front of him, occasionally exhaling white smoke.
As usual, he had two thick cigars in his mouth.
The white smoke from the cigar lingered around him.
Smoggy looked down at the old newspaper in his hand.
This was a newspaper from a few years ago. It was published in 1515.
It was now 1520.
The content of the newspaper was the report of Rona's death in the New World!
"I really can't believe that that person isn't dead?”
Smoggy muttered to himself. When he learned the news, his heart was filled with shock.
Everyone thought that he was a genius general of the navy.
He had already died in that damned place in the new world.
But the news from Cocosia Village
It made it difficult for Smogg to calm down these days.
He did not recover for a few days.
That existence was no less famous than Lieutenant General Karp in the navy headquarters.
It was said that the other party had killed more than half of the pirates in the New World when they were fighting against the pirates.
The entire New World was in a panic, so much so that they joined forces to deal with him alone!
He became a legendary general in the navy.
Unfortunately, the heavens were jealous of talents.
To die young
"However, if it's really that man, then he definitely has the strength to destroy the entire Evil Dragon Pirates on his own. He also had the qualifications and authority to kill a vermin like Captain Rat.”
Smog took a deep puff of his cigar and muttered to himself,""But if it's an imposter, then it's using the name of that hero to cause trouble everywhere in the East Sea. Although it's not to the extent of being detestable, it's still a stain on the hero.”
If someone was on this warship, they would know the direction they were sailing in.
He was not going back to Roguetown, but to Windmill Village!
That's right, Smoggy had found Rona and Nami.
The destination was Lieutenant General Karp's hometown.
Windmill Village!
"But if the other party is really General Rona, this is a big problem! After knowing that General Rona was not dead, the pirates of the New World would definitely be scared witless, right? However, the chances of that happening are too slim."
Smogue shook his head helplessly and shook off the distracting thoughts in his mind.
He still needed to confirm if it was true or not.
That was why he wanted to make a trip to Windmill Village.
The intelligence said that the man suspected to be General Rona and a young sailor named Nami had set off from the 16th branch to Windmill Village in the Goa Kingdom.
"Colonel Smogg, we are only a day away from Windmill Village. Do we need to make any preparations?”
At this moment, Dusky's voice came from behind Smoggy.
" No need." Smog shook his head." We don't need to prepare anything. We'll improvise."”
“......”
At the same time, in a small bar in Windmill Village of the Goa Kingdom.
Luffy, who was wearing a straw hat with a big bump on his head, stared at Rona with his eyes wide open.
Luffy, who was only 15 years old, was still two families away from the age of going out to sea.
However, it was still unknown whether he was willing to go out to sea to be a pirate.
Because of Rona's involvement, it was not easy for Shanks to brainwash Luffy.
At this moment, Luffy's reaction was similar to Makino's, but his expression was even more exaggerated.
It was as if he had seen a ghost.
Back then, during Rona's funeral, Karp flew to the navy headquarters to attend.
At that time, Luffy was only about 10 years old. In Luffy's memory, Rona, the big brother who often taught him physical skills, etiquette, and life principles when he was young, had already passed away for a full five years.
But now, a living Rona appeared in front of Luffy.
For a 15-year-old youth, this was a huge psychological blow.
"What's wrong? Brat, is it strange to see me? Did that bastard Shanks come looking for you again? Didn't I tell you to stay away from those pirates?”
Rona glanced at the straw hat on Luffy's head. It was obvious that it was given to him by Shanks.
The red-haired guy seemed to have noticed something about Luffy.
He entrusted his so-called fate and future to a little brat.
Who knew what that red-haired Shanks was up to?
Rona knew that this guy had a good relationship with the Five Old Stars.
However, he wasn't particularly clear about what kind of relationship they had.
"But you, but haven't you already…"
Even Luffy, who was usually very calm, was shocked at this moment.
"Did you come back as a vengeful spirit?”
Rona was speechless.
Bang!
Rona's face darkened as he punched Luffy's head into the floor.
A hole appeared in the floor of the bar, and Luffy's head was stuck in the floor.
He took out some Bailey from his pocket. Rona had gotten it after killing a group of pirates on the way. He placed Bailey on the bar counter and said to Makino,""This money is for the floor."
Makino laughed helplessly and said in a strange tone,""Luffy, Mr. Rona is alive.”
Luffy quickly pulled his head out of the floor.
He looked at Rona in disbelief.
He ignored the big bump on his head.
"It's really a living person being hit by this fist. It hurts just like back then!”
Luffy said in shock.
This scene stunned Nami once again. She had even knocked a hole in the floor.
In the end, this young man named "Luffy" didn't even bleed?
What was going on?
What was the principle behind this?
Who could explain?
