Chapter 986: Changes in the World
The next day, Kira was eating breakfast while reading the freshly-published newspaper, and finally remembered what he had overlooked yesterday.
The newspapers still used eye-catching writing styles such as "major events" and "shocking" to publish several major events that happened yesterday, and also wrote clearly the causes and consequences.
The first thing Kira noticed was the part he had overlooked—the red hair and the black beard.
The Red Hair Pirates originally planned to come to the rescue and stop the fighting, but outside of Marinford, they accidentally encountered the Blackbeard Pirates. After the two sides fought, the Blackbeard Pirates were completely wiped out and sank to the bottom of the sea, with their life or death unknown.
By the time they arrived at Marinford, the war was over. Kira was taking Impel back to the Calm Belt at that time, so they didn't encounter them.
After realizing that he was late, Red Hair could only rub his nose and return to the New World happily to continue maintaining the balance between the various forces.
In the following days, shocking news continued to come out from the sea.
Whitebeard died, and the pirates under his command also suffered casualties in the war. The remaining pirates left with Ace, Rayleigh, Luffy and others, but they did not seem to return to the New World. Instead, they returned to .
As for the territory originally under Whitebeard, it was divided between Big Mom and Golden Lion. During this war, they recruited many pirates who escaped from Impel Prison.
In other words , Golden Lion replaced Whitebeard as the new Four Emperors.
But compared to the replacement of the Four Emperors, there is another piece of news that can affect the world even more. That is, the 'Fairy Guild' really released the rubbing of the signpost text and explained the meaning of the signpost text to people all over the world.
This caused all the pirates to fall into an extreme state of excitement, as if a great treasure was right before their eyes.
The signpost text is posted one piece a day, and there are only rubbings, no translated copies. If anyone wants a translated copy, they have to go to the headquarters of the 'Fairy Guild' to find someone to translate it. Of course, translation costs money.
However, this operation was not a problem for the bigwigs in the New World. They first sent someone to buy the translation, and then through exchanges on the black market, the translation was quickly circulated everywhere.
Before long, almost everyone on the sea had one.
Kira was not surprised by this. Anyway, he had never thought about making much money from this, so he directly gave the translation to Morgans and sent it out. After that, various forces began the adventure of finding the fourth signpost text.
There were also some "mathematicians" who, like Kira, tried to calculate the location of Raftel using the three known locations, but they all failed in the end and could only place their hopes on the last piece of signpost text.
As for the whereabouts of the fourth signpost text, it has long been circulated among underground forces: it is in the hands of a burned man who rides a pure black boat, and anyone who wants to approach him will be swallowed by a huge whirlpool.
Many people made speculations about this and there were many rumors, but no one really believed any of them.
Until one day, a reporter who did not want to be named said that he learned from a big shot that the burned man was on Elbaf, the island of giants, and the black ship and the huge whirlpool were the island whales in the West Sea.
It is even said that the place pointed by the last signpost text is the legendary "Top of the Western Paradise".
Once these news came out , many people believed them, so a large group of pirates rushed to Elbaf to verify the authenticity of the news.
Giant Island is a powerful island and it is Red Hair's territory. After discovering that they had become the target of public criticism, they immediately took defensive measures. As a result, those pirates had difficulty even entering the sea area, let alone going to the island.
This directly attracted the covetousness of the other three "Four Emperors".
Not long after, news spread from the New World that "Golden Lion broke into Elbaf and was defeated by Red Hair." This made everyone believe the rumor more and more, but also made them more wary of Red Hair and Elbaf.
And all this has nothing to do with Kira.
He was taking his guild mates on a team-building trip around the world, and the first stop was Dressrosa.
Dressrosa is Doflamingo's territory. When Killer and others arrived on the island, he immediately received the news, but he did not dare to be presumptuous at all, because the person in front of him was able to beat Kaido and Sengoku.
So Kira waited for a long time, but he didn't see the typical "looking down on others" phenomenon of the protagonist. Instead, he waited for a large group of exotic, passionate, charming and hot dancers.
Fortunately, he was determined and did not fall into the trap of beauty like those lsp in the guild.
Under Doflamingo's arrangement, all members of the Wizards can enjoy a 10% discount on food, drink, entertainment and shopping, which makes Kira feel embarrassed to expose the darkness here.
Sugar, an adult loli under Doflamingo, is the user of the "Childlike Fruit". She can turn anyone she touches into a toy and force them to work endlessly. At the same time, the person who is turned into a toy will be erased from the memory of everyone in the world.
As passionate and sunny as Dressrosa is, its true face is as dark as it is bright and sunny. It is almost a microcosm of the holy land of Marinjoa.
In the end, Kira was defeated by the condemnation of his conscience, so he ate and drank to his heart's content, had fun, and went shopping like crazy for three whole days. After taking advantage of Doflamingo, he reported the filthiness of the place to the navy and covered the island with sleep magic.
After realizing that the island was in chaos, he left with his companions contentedly.
The next day, Doflamingo's crimes were reported in the newspapers, and he was removed from the list of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. Because it was Aokiji who was dispatched this time, there was no embarrassing incident of "the general kneeling" as in the original plot.
A few days later, Kira received another invitation from the Golden Emperor. That guy somehow knew that Kira had obtained the legendary Golden City and planned to do business with him.
'Golden Emperor' Tezoro is a businessman who controls 20% of the world's wealth. He is the user of the Gold-Gold Fruit and can control the gold he touches, but cannot create gold out of thin air. The fruit has been developed to the level of awakening and can assimilate objects it touches into gold. His weakness is that he is afraid of water.
Kira believed that "it's a bastard not to make money", so he took his friends to the golden ship. In order to transport the gold later, he also brought Eneel with him.
The two sides were friendly at the beginning, but Tesoro was far less insightful and patient than Doflamingo. In less than half a day, he sent his subordinate Bakara to cheat.
Kira had been prepared for this user of the "Lucky Fruit" ability, but there was an idiot in the team and he fell into the trap after just a few words, losing all the money he had earned in an instant.
Kira took the opportunity to get angry and turned the table over, causing a flood that soaked the entire city, and beat up Tesoro and his men.
Afterwards, while contacting the navy, he asked Eneel to use lightning metallurgy to refine all the gold into easy-to-carry gold bars and gold balls, and the "Treasure of the Golden Emperor" was easily taken.
The navy dispatched the admiral candidates Chaton and Momosagi this time. Facing Kira, they knew the situation well and did not ask questions like why this huge merchant ship was bare or where the treasures on it had gone.
After defeating two small bosses in succession, Kira found Vegapunk.
First, he used space magic to move the entire Egghead Island to the Torrant Sea and placed it in the center of the "Fairy Kingdom". Then he used his powerful strength and money to convince Vegapunk to join him.
The old man was impressed by Kira's "being close to people" and happily agreed to Kira's plan of "researching new star technology".
Afterwards, Kira captured Walpo, who had become the world's richest man, and formed a scientific research and development team with him, Vegapunk, and Enel.
Among them, Enel provides energy, Valpo provides various metal resources, and Vegapunk is responsible for turning various whimsical technologies into reality. With the cooperation of the three, a steady stream of new technologies are generated for the entire Fairy Kingdom.
Under Kira's coercion, Vegapunk had to stop all the work at hand and focus the research results of the bloodline factor on crops. Kira even ran to the Sand Country and borrowed Shinobu, who was moving stones, from Crocodile for three days to use her Ripe Fruit to cooperate with the research.
The experiment went very smoothly. In less than a month, Vegapunk quickly created a machine that could make crops mature quickly. After a period of fermentation and publicity, the Fairy Kingdom instantly became a major grain exporting country in the pirate world.
There was no need to hand in 'gold from heaven', nor to worry about pirates causing trouble. The economy was extremely developed, transportation was extremely convenient, and with a vast land and a sparse population, the Fairy Kingdom instantly became the ideal utopia for all the poor people in the world.
Kira's various actions naturally attracted the hostility of the World Government. They sent out a lot of CP agents, but these people could not contact Vegapunk at all, let alone magic.
Although they have the powerful weapon "King" Uranus passed down from ancient times, they do not have the "Flame of the Virgin" made by Vegapunk as an energy source. It will take a long time to replenish the energy, so they cannot carry out the "light-out" operation in the Fairy Kingdom.
Two months after the "Marine War", the world has changed drastically.
The New World has become a "Three Emperors and One Meeting" pattern, and all pirates have set their sights on the last signpost text, but the Red Hair and Elbaf warriors are still standing.
The Navy experienced the Battle of Marineford, which left it badly damaged. Sengoku and Garp retired and went behind the scenes. Later, Akainu and Aokiji disagreed and fought for the position of the new Admiral. In the end, Akainu took the position, and Aokiji left the Navy and joined the "Fairy Guild" to achieve his own justice in another form.
There are vague rumors that Garp's valued disciple became a deserter during the war and was later killed by criminals who followed the "call to surrender". Some people said that he was secretly executed by the navy. Others said that he was killed by pirates in order to prevent the continuation of the war. In short, there are different statements, but none of them are very glorious. This matter caused a lot of uproar, but Garp did not deny it. Instead, he looked much older.
Perhaps the only thing for him to be thankful for is that both of his grandsons are still alive?
The territory of the Fairy Kingdom is expanding day by day. Every time an island is occupied, it will be integrated into the Fairy Kingdom, and there is a trend of "connecting the world into one".
It is based on Egghead Island and the 35 islands where the Ten Thousand Kingdoms were originally located, turning the "islands" into "cities", and each city has a branch of the "Fairy Guild", and the branch members are responsible for maintaining local peace and order.
Under their management, common people and all guild members gradually accepted an equal and free lifestyle.
