Chronology of One Piece 1520.
This is quite a backward year.
After the world's Pirate King Gol D. Roger was executed by the World Government, he claimed on the verge of death that he had placed his treasure at the end of the Grand Line, Laugh Tale, thus ushering in the Great Pirate Era, which has now continued for more than twenty years.
East Sea.
This is the hometown of Pirate King Roger.
Perhaps because the Pirate King once appeared here, this sea area has never seen any powerful pirates in over twenty years since the Great Pirate Era began.
Therefore…
Today, after more than twenty years…
This sea area is also known as the weakest sea.
Coincidentally, today…
Two unfamiliar travelers appeared on a small island in the East Sea.
One was a black-haired young man in his twenties, whose smile seemed very gentle, as if he didn't have much of a temper;
The other was a red-haired girl wearing glasses, looking about sixteen or seventeen, dressed in tight attire, with a seemingly tough Ninja Sword strapped on her back, her demeanor extremely cautious, seeming quite difficult to provoke.
However, these two strangers didn't do anything particularly unusual; they were just enjoying the scenery of the island, even taking a few travel photos, appearing to be just like any other ordinary traveler visiting the island.
Finally…
They arrived at a restaurant, savoring the island's specialty cuisine; perhaps this restaurant was their final destination in the journey.
These two people…
Were none other than the newcomers Akihara Kagura and Karin.
"Lord Kagura."
Karin was quite tense about arriving in this unfamiliar world, her eyes hidden behind the glasses appeared particularly sharp, and she spoke in a deep voice: "An evil presence is approaching this island, that evil person possesses an extremely special power…"
"And another person is quickly flying toward this island; he also possesses a particularly special power, which seems to be the power of this world…"
"Let's order first…"
Akihara Kagura ignored the impending danger, casually ordering dishes; after arriving in this world, this was his first proper meal here.
"By the way, do you have a newspaper?"
"Yes, we do."
The restaurant's attendant brought over a newspaper.
This world has a magical bird known as the News Bird, which constantly travels around the world, delivering newspapers and the latest pirate bounty orders.
The newspaper didn't have any particularly big news; after twenty years of the Great Pirate Era, pirates appeared like carp swimming across a river, and rarely did pirates spark big news; the newspaper now portrayed a peaceful scene.
"World Noble Saint Mjosgard…"
"Will soon tour the East Sea on a World Government ship…"
This was the biggest news to emerge in the East Sea, making the entire East Sea feel proud.
World Nobles.
The most noble race in this world, also known as the Heavenly Celestial Dragons.
Their status descends from the Twenty Kings who established the World Government eight hundred years ago, bringing peace and stability to the world.
The descendants of these Twenty Kings are revered as World Nobles and Heavenly Celestial Dragons, claiming to be progeny of creation, holding status that surpasses ordinary kings of the world.
Anyone who sees them must kneel, and every nation must offer treasures and rare goods as heavenly tributes to the gods.
Heavenly Celestial Dragons view other humans in the world as inferior beings, able to freely enslave anyone they see; once they encounter any attack or trouble, the World Government will immediately dispatch top naval admirals to resolve the issue for them.
Undoubtedly.
This is immense news for the East Sea.
In theory, everyone in the East Sea could be enslaved or killed at the whim of the Heavenly Celestial Dragons, as it is known for them to do so.
"Seems more arrogant than me…"
Akihara Kagura glanced at the haughty man wearing a square headpiece in the newspaper and couldn't help but sigh: "The Heavenly Celestial Dragons hold such high status in this world, I should send him some gifts to smooth things over so we don't end up having trouble with him…"
"..."
Karin furrowed her brow.
Because in her memory, people should always be the ones sending gifts to Lord Kagura; she didn't expect that on their first day in the New World, they would need to send gifts to someone else…
Just as Karin was about to say something, an urgent bell suddenly rang outside, accompanied by people shouting in the street.
"Pirates are coming! Pirates are coming!"
"Hurry and hide! It's Great Pirate Buggy!"
"Why would Buggy come here!"
"I heard some thief stole his Treasure Map…"
"Quickly hide! Buggy's bounty is fifteen million belly!"
People throughout the street were shouting, while the restaurant staff and owner quickly followed the crowd and fled, hearing the pirates' arrival made everyone scatter to hide, fearing the pirates' wrath.
Once the people in the street gradually ran away.
A cannonball suddenly flew over, landing directly on a house, instantly blasting away one corner of it, sending countless wood shards and stones flying!
Cannonballs continued flying in!
The Great Pirate Buggy, who had come to this small island for plunder, seemed to be greeting the island with cannon fire, relentlessly sending cannonballs onto this small island!
