Year 1460 of the Haiyuan calendar.
On a slightly shabby ship.
"Kid, why do you want to join my fleet?"
An old man with gray hair and beard poured wine into his mouth from a wine gourd, looking at the boy in front of him with drunken eyes.
"Because I want to be the overlord who dominates this sea, I want to change this unfair world, I want to let everyone be free, and for this I need strength!"
The messy black hair fluttered in the wind, the boy's tone was fanatical, his eyes were bright, and he was determined.
"Hahahaha!!!"
Listening to the boy's innocent answer, the old man couldn't help laughing out loud, laughing so hard that tears almost came out.
How similar!
Just like when he just crossed into this world.
From the ambition at the beginning.
To the drifting behind
And now, he is ready to retire.
And this world, what it was like when he came.
He is about to leave.
It's still the same.
That's right.
Many people would think that the boy in front of them is the protagonist of the story. Even Monger himself does not think that he is qualified to be the protagonist.
Because he is old.
Seventy years have passed since he traveled through time.
There is no system, no golden finger.
With only a little understanding of this world, Monger tried his best to leave the North Sea, break into the Great Route, and come to the New World.
But he came early.
Just like the future Pirate King Gol D. Roger went to Raftel, but found that he arrived twenty years early.
Monger came a hundred years early!
There are no Four Emperors or Seven Warlords of the Sea on this sea.
There is only the Navy and the World Government.
Their tentacles are everywhere, and their shadows cover the whole world.
There are pirates, and there are many.
But there is no leader who can overwhelm everyone, who can fight against the Navy and the World Government.
This is a dead water world.
Even though Monger is already a well-known pirate, the thorn in the eyes and flesh of the Navy is still insignificant compared to the whole world.
He is tired.
"Let's go."
Monger waved his hand.
"I don't plan to go out to sea anymore. I'm in a good mood now, get out of here."
He dismissed the crew a week ago and planned to find a random place to sink the ship, and then use the remaining money to live out the rest of his life.
Who knew that the boy in front of him actually slipped in when the ship docked last time.
Damn.
Because he's old, even his observation Haki doesn't work anymore?
This made Monger more determined to retire.
He didn't want to be unable to fight in a few years and be captured by any navy soldier, that would make people laugh.
"No!"
Who knew that when he said that, the boy with wild hair in front of him suddenly became anxious.
"You must accept me!"
"Or else?"
Monger raised his eyebrows and looked at the boy in front of him jokingly.
"Then I challenge you!"
The boy's eyes were firm, but this made Monger laugh out loud.
"Hahahaha~"
Monger felt that it was not bad to encounter such fun before retirement.
Although he was old.
But he was not old enough to be like Whitebeard in the future, unable to use even the basic Haki.
Not to mention beating a kid who knows nothing.
Even if there were a hundred or a thousand of them, it would not be a problem for Monger.
However, Monger did not expect that
he was about to continue to laugh at the boy in front of him, but suddenly there was a buzz in his mind.
A translucent panel appeared in front of him.
[At the age of eighteen, you have traveled to the pirate world for eighteen years. After a series of training, you finally mastered the Navy Six Styles - Shaving! ]
[Feeling that your strength can only be improved in battle, you finally decided to go to sea. ]
[You became a pirate! ]
Ahem~
Monger, who was drinking, saw the lines of text in front of him and almost choked.
What eighteen years old?
In another ten years, he will be eighty years old!
Golden finger!
The illusory panel that appeared in front of him was undoubtedly the new finger he had been thinking about.
But he was already seventy years old! Why
didn't you come earlier or later, but now?
Why didn't you come in a few years, when he was buried?
However, the text in front of him continued to appear.
[March 31, 1480, Haiyuan Calendar, this is your first day as a pirate. ]
[Unfortunately, just after you debuted as a pirate, you met the current sea overlord of the pirate world - Rocks D. Gibeck. ]
[What you have to do now is to find a way to survive in his hands! ]
Who?
Monger was stunned.
It is now the 1460th year of the Haiyuan calendar!
Has he traveled through time again?
Monger, who was drunk and wanted to have fun with this idiotic system, suddenly sobered up.
Don't look at Monger's appearance as a drunkard now.
But until a week ago, he was still one of the most famous pirates on this sea.
White Wolf Monger!
This is the name that Monger spent a full fifty years to get.
Monger's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Hey, kid, what's your name?"
Originally thinking that Monger was just a drunkard, Rocks had decided to defeat Monger and make this big ship his own.
Since Monger didn't want to go to sea.
Then give the ship to him and let him go to sea!
As a result, Rocks, who was about to take action, found that Monger's momentum changed, from a bad old man, to a ferocious wolf.
And it was not an ordinary wolf, but the wolf king!
"Rocks!"
But facing Monger's pressure, Rocks didn't want to admit defeat at all.
He gritted his teeth and said loudly: "My name is Rocks D. Gibek. Unlike an old man like you who is ready to die, I am destined to be the king of the sea!"
"Hahahahaha————"
Hearing Rocks' words, Monger seemed to have heard something funny.
Just when Rocks thought Monger would take action.
Monger's momentum suddenly loosened.
"Okay!"
Monger slapped his thigh.
"Since you want to join my fleet, I will fulfill your wish!"
"Come here."
"What, what?"
Monger's attitude before and after made Rocks a little confused. He looked at Monger vigilantly, and his right hand couldn't help but slide down and touch the knife behind him.
"Don't do those little tricks. If I want to kill you, you won't have a chance to use the knife."
Monger waved his hand. He just wanted to confirm one thing now.
Thinking of Monger's momentum just now, although he was very reluctant, Rocks still leaned over. The reluctant look almost made Monger laugh.
"Come here."
At the moment when Rocks approached, Monger suddenly raised his hand.
Snap!
Rocks lay on the ground, motionless.
At the same time.
[Ding~, congratulations on defeating the sea overlord, Rocks D. Gibek! ]
Looking at this string of words popping up on the panel.
Monger's body trembled.
Really good! ?
The time is set to 60 years before the start of the main story.
The bounty ratio is 1:8.
That is, 100 million Baileys is equivalent to 800 million Baileys in the future.
