Chapter 003
Chapter 3 System Changes
“Grandpa Ron, Grandpa Ron, whose story are we telling today?”Looking at Ron’s happy face, a child asked
“Let’s tell the story of Mr. Garp vs. Roger the Pirate King!”A child suggested. The child clenched his fists and looked excited:”It’s so cool that Mr. Garp can chase the legendary Pirate King Roger across the sea. In the future, I will become the same as Mr. Garp. A mighty marine! Punish evil and promote good!”
“Huh, what’s the point of being in the navy? If you want to go to sea, you must become a pirate! From now on, I want to be a great pirate like Brother Ace and become the freest man on the sea!”
“With your small body, you still want to go to sea and become a pirate? You haven’t even learned to swim yet!”
The words fell, causing other children around to laugh.
The child blushed instantly and argued:”Who said you can’t be a pirate if you can’t swim! Hum, just wait, sooner or later, like Brother Ace, I will become a great pirate like Shanks and Whitebeard!”
“How about Grandpa Ron telling some stories about the Whitebeard Pirates! The strongest man in the world, his story must be very cool!”
“Why is the story of the Whitebeard Pirates so cool?”Listening to the children discussing pirates, Ron, who was once a vice admiral in the navy, was not angry, but asked with a smile.
Whitebeard Edward Newgate.
What a nostalgic name.
At that time, he was the first The first time I heard this name, that guy was just a little kid in his teens.
Now, he has become an old man on the sea.
He is about to be buried. Time is not forgiving.
“Hehe, that’s because Brother Ace recently joined the Whitebeard Pirates and became the captain of the second division of the Whitebeard Pirates. I heard that Brother Ace even refused the title of King Shichibukai! That’s the King of the Shichibukai, the great pirate recognized by the World Government himself!”
“Less than a year after going to sea, there is already a bounty of more than 500 million. Brother Ace is really cool!”
“A man who can be recognized by Brother Ace must be a very attractive guy!”
They were talking about Ace’s deeds, and the faces of several older boys were full of longing. They wished they could grow up to be seventeen or eighteen years old now, and then throw themselves into the arms of the sea.
Seeing this, Ron didn’t either Say more.
As a boy, it’s a good thing to have some yearning.
In this world, which boy doesn’t yearn for the free sea when he was a boy?
It’s just that when most people grow up, most of them will end up becoming a man because they are busy making a living. Ordinary living beings.
Even if they stick to their ideals and go to sea to become navy or pirates, in the end only those geniuses with outstanding talents can stand out.
The sea is too big, and only those who are qualified to leave a few strokes in history can , too little, too little.
As for Ace, who is worshiped by several little guys.
The blood of Pirate King Roger, his mother is also a member of the D family, and she awakened the domineering domineering spirit at the age of ten.
In the Neon Kingdom worldview based on bloodline theory, it can be One of the ordinary beings?
That brat actually dared to sneak out to sea and become a pirate behind his back.
If he hadn’t been almost a hundred years old and his physical strength was far less than before, let alone that brat would now be a member of the Whitebeard Pirates. Captain of the second team, even if he became the leader of the Whitebeard Pirates, Ron also designated that boy to taste the loving iron fist from his great grandfather. As for
Whitebeard Edward Newgate.
The world’s sea emperor?
The world’s strongest man?
For Ron, Whitebeard is not that legendary.
After all, he has personally created several legends in this world.
“Do you all want to hear the story of Whitebeard?”
“Uh-huh!”
Almost all the children nodded in anticipation.
“In this case……”
loadAdv(7,3);
Ron took out the shiny dry tobacco stick hanging from the plate at his waist, stuffed the old tobacco leaves given to him by the old village chief into the jade pipe, struck a match, lit it, and took two puffs.
Slowly exhaling a puff of smoke, he continued:”Then let me tell you the story of the Rocks Pirates.”
“Rocks Pirates?”
The children were all stunned and puzzled.
“Grandpa Ron, didn’t you tell the story of Whitebeard? Why are you suddenly talking about the Rocks Pirates?”
“Yes, yes, I have never heard of the Rocks Pirates.……”
After hearing Ron’s story about the Rocks Pirates, several children looked obviously disappointed.
Especially the one who said before that he wanted to be a great pirate like Ace, pouted his lips.
Ron said calmly:”You don’t know this, don’t underestimate the Rocks Pirates. Their captain Rocks is very powerful. Before Whitebeard founded his own pirate group, , they are just crew members of the Rocks Pirates.”
“The Rocks Pirates are so powerful? Is even Whitebeard just a crew member?……”
When the children heard this, the disappointment on their faces disappeared instantly, replaced by deep anticipation.
Seeing the changes in the children’s expressions, Ron began to talk
“Regarding the Rocks Pirates, we have to start more than fifty years ago. At that time, Kaido was still a little kid and Whitebeard was just a newcomer.……”
Although he was telling stories to children, at the same time, this was Ron recalling his own experiences.
I have to say that Ron is really good at telling stories. With just a few sentences, the children can be immersed in it.
Not long after, apart from the waves lapping on the beach and the chirping of seagulls from time to time, the only sound left on the seaside of Windmill Village was the sound of Ron telling stories.
The children were quiet listeners, and everyone kept their eyes on Ron as he talked, for fear of missing any details.
The old man didn’t notice that while he was telling the story, deep in his mind, on the illusory panel that he had paid no attention to, the progress bar that had not moved for decades suddenly jumped.
The number above jumps directly from 98.9% to 99%
……
Time passes slowly.
Before you know it, the sun hanging high in the sky has dropped to the top of the sea level.
Under the afterglow of the setting sun, this article about the encounter between the Rocks Pirates and the Navy warship finally came to an end.
While the children were still immersed in the story, Ron stood up and stretched comfortably.
I twisted my slightly sore waist, and a handful of old bones suddenly crackled like fried beans.
“It seems that it’s really not okay to be dissatisfied.……”
Although he had exercised his body to be extremely strong when he was young, even now that he is almost a hundred years old, his physical strength has not declined significantly.
But he had only been sitting all afternoon today when he felt soreness in his back.
You know, when Ron was young, let alone sitting for an entire afternoon, even if he exercised for three days and three nights in a row, he would not be red in the face or out of breath, let alone suffer from backache like now.
“It’s great to be young……”
Looking at the group of young and energetic children in front of him, Ron couldn’t help but sigh in his heart.
