"Uncle, where is this place? I remember we were eaten by a huge whale."
Seeing the uncle ignoring him, Luffy leaned closer to read the newspaper.
"This is the belly of the whale."
But before the old man finished speaking, Luffy grabbed the newspaper and read it carefully with his eyes wide open.
"Ace?"
Looking at the figure in the newspaper, Luffy's eyes flashed.
He didn't expect to see Ace in the news.
"You know him?"
On the recliner, Crocus looked at Luffy in surprise.
"Yes, I'm his younger brother."
Luffy was proud and puffed out his chest.
"You're his younger brother?"
"Monchi D. Luffy? Your grandfather is that old thing Garp, and your father is the leader of the revolutionary army, Monchi D. Long? "
This time, Crocus stood up directly. The Golden Emperor's words were clearly printed in the newspaper.
Why did the excitement come so quickly?
In this godforsaken place, he just learned about the captain's bloodline and his younger brother appeared?
"How do you know my name?"
"Yes, I'm Monchi D. Luffy, the man who will become the pirate king."
"But do you know my grandfather?"
"Dad, I don't know his name."
Luffy first excitedly uttered his catchphrase, then scratched his head in confusion.
This uncle actually knows the old man.
As for my dad, what's his name?
Forget it, I can't remember.
But I really miss it!
I haven't seen Ace for many years.
But he believes that one day they will meet again, and the first one to become the pirate king will be him.
Crocus was a little stunned.
He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he actually saw a trace of the captain in this kid.
That belief, that smile, and that freedom were so similar.
"What's the news, let me see."
Seeing Luffy and Crocus talking, Nami carefully stepped forward, grabbed the newspaper and began to read.
"The richest group crusades against the Yonko Whitebeard Pirates."
"The strongest man in the world, the Golden Emperor, has exposed the identity of the second captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, Fire Fist Ace. His biological father is the Pirate King, Gol D. Roger. His grandfather is the hero of the Navy, Monkey D. Karp. His second brother, Sabot, is an important officer in the revolutionary army. His third brother, Monkey D. Luffy, is the son of the leader of the revolutionary army, Monkey D. Dragon. His biological grandfather is Monkey D. Karp …"
Nami read as she read. Between the lines, there were some powerful existences that she couldn't even imagine.
Zoro, Sanji, and Usopp were stunned!
In this era where big news would break out from time to time, the transmission of information was not blocked.
In other words …
Whether it was the Yonkō (Four Emperors), the Revolutionary Army, or the Navy hero Garp, Usopp and others knew about them.
Especially the Richest Group, The World's Strongest Man, Emperor Gaia, the Golden Emperor …
You don't know who the Navy Fleet Admiral and the Yonkō (Four Emperors) are, but the Richest Group is definitely well-known.
This era is called the Cultivation Era, also known as the Gaia Era.
It was started by the Richest Group's leader, The World's Strongest Man.
There are countless legends, and it is almost a myth among the people.
"Luffy … Luffy, is Fire Fist Ace really your brother?"
"Yes, it's him, I can't be wrong!"
Luffy blinked and pointed to the photo in the news. He was very sure.
Although he has matured a lot.
"Oh my God!"
"That's one of the Yonko Whitebeard Pirates. Your brother is actually the captain of the second division. With this relationship, who will dare to not give us face when we enter the New World in the future?"
Nami and Usopp were happy.
This is simply a talisman.
"Are the Yonkō (Four Emperors) very powerful?"
Luffy knew nothing about the so-called Yonkō (Four Emperors).
"Idiot, that's one of the Yonkō (Four Emperors), the Emperor of the Sea of the New World!"
"Only four."
"They can be called the strongest overlords."
Usopp gave Luffy some knowledge. He learned about it in Loguetown. He just wanted to know about the Grand Line, but he also learned about the New World.
"There were six in total, but two of them were killed."
"The Sea Emperor is good to hear, but there are many people who are at the same level as them, or even stronger than them!"
Crocus lay back in the hammock. Since these kids have some relationship with Ace, he will give them some advice!
"Six?"
Luffy was stunned again.
"White Beard and Blackbeard of the current Yonkō (Four Emperors) were replaced later. The Yonkō (Four Emperors) before them were Hundred Beast Kaido, Akagami, BIGMOM, and Explosive King.
But because BIGMOM and Explosive King angered the World's Strongest Man, the Golden Emperor, they were erased in one day! "
Sanji smoked a cigarette and leaned against a coconut tree.
"Akagami? Is it Shanks? "
Luffy didn't notice anything, but he noticed Akagami.
"It's Akagami who gave you the straw hat."
Nami was not surprised. After all, they already knew that Luffy's favorite straw hat was Akagami.
At first, when Luffy said it was Shanks, they didn't respond. It wasn't until they asked about it that they felt something was wrong. They were really shocked when they were told about the characters and information.
Now it seems that their Captain is not an ordinary person.
Especially now that it involves the Navy heroes, the Revolutionary Army, and the Whitebeard Pirates …
"I haven't seen Shanks for a long time."
Luffy took off his hat and his eyes were full of memories.
"I was wondering why this hat looked so familiar. It turned out that Shanks gave it to you!"
"Does that mean he passed on the Captain's beliefs to you?"
This time it was Crocus' turn to be enlightened.
He noticed the straw hat Luffy was wearing from the beginning, and he was a little uncertain.
"Uncle, have you seen this hat?"
Nami, Usopp, Sanji, and Zoro were all confused.
Who is this old man?
Why did he look so unfathomable inside and out?
He seems to know everything.
"I hope you can pass it on!"
Crocus didn't answer, but looked at the straw hat with some nostalgia.
"What! You stopped halfway through your sentence! "
Nami pouted angrily.
"Is the Golden Emperor really so powerful?"
Zoro muttered to himself and turned the topic back.
"That man is indeed very strong. The Captain can be the Pirate King of Shanghai because of him, but he was defeated by the Captain at the beginning. But whether it was more than ten years ago or now, he is the most dazzling existence.
If the Captain is still alive, he may not be able to do anything to him! "
Crocus sighed.
He is not the kind of brainless bragging, nor is he a stubborn old man.
If the Captain is still alive, he may not be able to beat the Golden Emperor like he did in the past. After all, even White Beard is not his opponent now!
"Wait, you've been talking about the Captain. Why do I feel that the Captain you're talking about is the Pirate King Gordo Roger?"
Nami looked suspicious and the more she listened, the more she felt something was wrong.
Zoro and others also looked at Crocus, and Nami's reminder seemed to be true.
"Oh, didn't I tell you that I'm the ship doctor of the Roger Pirates?"
"When did you tell me!"
Nami's eyes widened and she almost punched him.
Then she was shocked.
"Are you really the ship doctor of the Pirate King?"
"Don't you look like it?"
"No!"
Nami glanced up and down at Crocus and shook her head tacitly.
"But Luffy, do you have a second brother?"
Here.
Usopp, who observed carefully, pointed to the title of the news and was a little confused.
After all, he had never heard Luffy mention his second brother.
Hearing Usopp's question, Luffy's face became stiff. After recovering his composure for quite a while, he grabbed the newspaper and read it word by word.
Yes.
Sabo's name was on it.
"Sabo, it's really Sabo, he's still alive, still alive!"
Drops of tears came out of his eyes.
In addition to his brother Ace, he only had Sabo!
Still alive.
Still alive.
Luffy laughed and cried. This was the biggest surprise given to him by God.
"It seems that he is under Luffy's father, a staff officer of the Revolutionary Army."
"Could it be the same name?"
"It shouldn't be!"
“.....”
Finally.
Luffy and others rested in the whale's stomach for three days and got a lot of news from Crocus, as well as some legends before the Cultivation Era.
Crocus passed on some experience as much as possible for the sake of Ace, Akagami, and Straw Hat.
This was the benefit of having connections behind them.
To a large extent, it opened up the world view of Luffy, Nami, and others.
This was an experience that others would not have even if they wanted to.
Not only could they avoid a lot of detours, but they could also save several lives when necessary.
So Nami and others listened very carefully.
Of course.
The problem of Whale Labu was also solved by Luffy.
Everything was moving forward according to the original trajectory.
And on the next voyage, they met a girl named Weiwei.
Because of meddling in other people's business, she ignited the fuse that could affect the direction of the world and caused the existing world structure to collapse.
