Chapter 244 - Chapter 243: Lock Monster Tower!

"Red-Haired Shanks is going to destroy the Navy family's stone monument!"

Morgans, with his hat pulled low and a face full of excitement, like someone who wished for chaos, continuously broadcasted real-time footage as albatrosses circled, recording everything.

The world was brewing.

A suppressed and surging emotion, like magma blocked by volcanic rock, was on the verge of erupting with just a tiny breach.

On the bustling and lively Sabaody Archipelago,

As it was the only way to the New World, it was full of pirates, bounty hunters, and an endless stream of Merchants coming and going.

They watched the Den Den Mushi images with exhilarated expressions.

"Even the Revolutionary Army Leader failed to break through the Navy's defenses. The Navy has become unimaginably powerful."

"If this continues, will pirates still have a way to survive?"

Inside a chaotic tavern, some pirates felt despair.

The stronger the Navy, the more stable and peaceful the entire ocean became, meaning the more difficult the situation for pirates who relied on force for burning, killing, and plundering.

Even the strongest pirate crew, Whitebeard, returned defeated.

Would the Navy truly patrol all four seas from this moment on?

"Damn the Revolutionary Army, talking big about resisting the World Government, but they couldn't even defeat the guard dogs raised by the Five Elders!"

Some pirates cursed, turning their fear of the Navy into anger towards the Revolutionary Army for failing to defeat the Navy.

These scenes constantly appeared in various taverns.

"Crazy."

Amidst the laughter, curses, and shouts, a calm curse suddenly appeared.

A disheveled old man with white hair, wearing glasses, ignored the gradually cooling atmosphere around him and sipped the beer he had bought with all his money.

"Did you… just curse me?"

A burly pirate captain stood up, his head almost touching the ceiling, and slowly walked over to the white-haired old man.

The people around him retreated in panic.

"A bounty of 200 million Berries, a New Star Pirate known as the Bloody Butcher!"

A Merchant recognized him and quickly left the tavern quietly.

"How dare you curse Captain! I'm going to scrape all the flesh off your body!"

The captain was brutal, so his pirates were naturally fierce.

The white-haired old man didn't even bat an eyelid, still speaking in that calm tone: "My apologies, it was my fault for not being clear, leading to your misunderstanding."

"Not only did I call you crazy…"

"To be precise, I was saying that this chaotic era, even Pirate King Roger's former rival Whitebeard, and the Navy Headquarters' elites like Sengoku and Garp, are uncontrollably driven to madness by it."

While cursing, the white-haired old man's lips couldn't help but curl into a smile.

"You're asking for death!"

The Bloody Butcher clenched his fist, about to strike down.

Boom.

Haki erupted, and everyone in the tavern fainted.

The white-haired old man… or rather, Rayleigh, the former Pirate King Roger's right-hand man, known as the Dark King, returned to his secluded hut.

"You ran off again to cause trouble. If this continues, your identity, which you've worked so hard to conceal, will be exposed. Is that alright?"

"It's alright."

Hearing Rayleigh's calm reply, Shakky was stunned, but not too surprised. She asked, "Have you thought it through?"

"I have."

Ever since the East Blue Reincarnation Game appeared, Rayleigh, who had been living incognito for many years, began to frequently move around the Sabaody Archipelago, starting to plunder the assets of pirates and evil Merchants.

Shakky didn't speak or dissuade him, but silently watched everything unfold.

"Then go, honestly, you're already an old man, but you can't sit still."

Shakky complained, but began to pack Rayleigh's luggage.

Rayleigh scratched his head and laughed loudly: "Even old guys like Garp and Whitebeard can fight with the kids of the new era. I shouldn't be older than them, right?"

Even if the Pirate King's crew members lived incognito, they weren't completely retired.

All along, Rayleigh had been waiting for a major event that could make the four seas boil.

He thought that this situation might be triggered by Whitebeard, or by some growing spark of the new era, but he never expected it to be the most unlikely person.

Shanks.

The person most certain that destiny would have a good ending, the person most wanting to maintain the stability of the sea, actually actively began to stir up trouble.

Rayleigh didn't understand, and he didn't want to understand.

Because he was different from Shanks. Shanks believed in destiny, while he upheld another of Roger's sayings.

If given the chance, he must turn this world upside down.

And now, was the time!

"On the sea, there's the Revolutionary Army attempting to overthrow the World Government, there are chaotic pirates, and there are the Four Emperors…"

Rayleigh's gaze was unusually sharp, and he laughed loudly: "Since that's the case, how can the freest Pirate King be missing?"

"Captain Roger's last wish is not something a kid like Shanks can understand. Let this old man, me, shout out to the world!"

The eyes of the four seas were all focused on the Navy family's territory.

"Oh no!"

Vice Admiral Tsuru frowned, looking at the Red Hair Pirates who had already approached the stone monument.

Borsalino transformed into golden light, blocking several bullets fired from Yasopp's sniper rifle, protecting the stone monument.

He held a weapon made of converging golden light in his hand.

A golden hunting spear.

Kizaru showed a look of lingering fear, repeatedly patting his chest and pouting: "Fortunately, if I hadn't become a Demon Lancer, becoming a stronger light, I would have almost had the Navy family, which I painstakingly established, destroyed by you, Shanks."

"Kizaru?"

Yasopp frowned slightly, but didn't feel strange.

On this ocean, when it came to speed, Admiral Kizaru was definitely in the top tier; the innate advantage of the Glint-Glint Fruit was evident.

"Do you intend to stop us?"

Shanks raised his arm, the tip of griffin's sword pointed at Kizaru.

"Is there no room for discussion at all? Vice Admiral Tsuru still wants me to negotiate with you."

Kizaru didn't expect the other party to not even leave room for negotiation, drawing his sword directly.

This was different from what Vice Admiral Tsuru said.

Didn't she say Shanks was the pirate who hated chaotic situations the most and would surely be willing to negotiate with the Navy? What was going on now?

He could clearly feel it.

Shanks had no intention of pretending; his attitude was very direct—he just wanted to destroy the Navy family's stone monument.

"If the family stone monument is destroyed by pirates, the Navy will suffer great losses, but I probably can't defeat you. It's really troublesome."

Although he had exchanged for a new game ability, he couldn't contend with the entire Red Hair Pirates.

If it weren't for the 20 billion Berry debt still hanging over him, Kizaru would really have pretended not to see it.

Whether it was the family stone monument or the pirate raid…

Troublesome.

Kizaru constantly scratched his hair, wanting to stall for time, but Red-Haired Shanks didn't give him a chance at all.

Asura Evil Light Slash!

Two intersecting wave slashes, like a falling giant crescent moon, rushed towards the family stone monument.

"Trouble, trouble!"

Kizaru sighed deeply, and suddenly five golden light spears, like barriers, appeared behind him.

Hunting Spear!

Golden flames flickered, and Kizaru swung the golden long spear in his hand, firing golden light towards the sky.

A golden barrier appeared,

But it was shattered by the Asura Evil Light Slash. With the [Shadow's Rage] enhanced wave slash, Kizaru alone couldn't stop it.

"No choice!"

Kizaru's figure disappeared, appearing in front of the Navy family's stone monument, slamming his hands on the ground.

"Do you want to place the building [Lock Monster Tower]?"

Hint: Once placed, the building cannot be easily moved. It requires consuming a [Building Move Scroll] to change map blocks.

"Yes."

Kizaru confirmed without hesitation.

Boom.

The Navy family's territory began to tremble, and a strong pressure swept across all directions.

Everyone who was not a member of the Navy family felt a sense of dread.

A tower glowing with golden light rose from the ground,

It wasn't complete, only the first floor of the tower base existed.

But the majestic aura it emitted, despite being an inanimate object, made everyone feel as if they were facing a solemn and majestic divine statue, under the gaze of the divine statue.
