Chapter 328 The Time and Location of the Pirate Expo Confirmed
Chapter 328 The Time and Location of the Pirate Expo Confirmed
The world situation is unpredictable and turbulent, and time slips away quietly.
The day soon arrived when the location of the One Piece Expo was to be announced.
All the world's powers are waiting for the latest edition of the World Economic News.
After all, there are only three days left until the Pirate Expo begins.
If the prediction is wrong, the location will be too far away, not even in the early part of the new world.
Some of the stronger individuals may not be able to make it in time.
As the newsbirds flew out at dawn, all the powers rushed to buy the newspapers.
"It's Iwo Jima!!"
"Isn't this the island between Naval Fortress G1 and Fortress G5?!"
"Luo Ji is actually going to hold a pirate expo right in front of the Navy!"
"Luo Ji has gone mad!"
"Why not hold the Pirate Expo in the middle or later part of the New World?!"
"Once I get the permanent Log Pose for Laugh Tale, I can immediately go to the final island, find the One Piece, and become the Pirate King!"
"Is the Luo Ji World Pirates trying to drag all the pirates in the world into slapping the face of the World Government and the Marine Headquarters?!"
"Hahaha, so many powerful figures have gathered, let's see if the World Government and the Marine Headquarters can stop them!"
···
The whole world was in an uproar. The time and place for the Pirate Expo, which concerns the permanent Log Pose of Laugh Tale and the title of Pirate King, had finally been confirmed.
Date: June 6, 1520 (Haiyuan Calendar).
Location: Boiling Island, Iwo Jima, in the front part of the New World.
It is adjacent to the G1 Naval Headquarters and not far from the G5 Naval Fortress.
Countless powerful individuals are flocking to Iwo Jima, and the World Government and Marine Headquarters have entered a state of maximum preparedness.
Many rookie pirate crews who had just entered the Grand Line were too late to enter the New World and participate in this Pirate Expo, thus missing the battle for the title of Pirate King.
A small pirate ship with a white sheep prow had just left the East Blue and, after many hardships, finally entered the Grand Line.
This is Straw Hat Luffy, who will set sail immediately after celebrating his birthday on May 5th.
Starting from scratch, Straw Hat Luffy spent a month recruiting his four crew members, acquiring a pirate ship, defeating enemies one by one, and officially entering the Grand Line.
Beneath the lighthouse building at Twin Capes,
Crocus, the ship's doctor for the Roger Pirates, was thanking the Straw Hat Pirates for helping to appease Laboon, the whale on the island, and was also observing Luffy, the successor whom Shanks had placed his hopes on.
After reading today's latest news, he also had to set off immediately for the new world.
Let's see if we can make it to this pirate extravaganza.
Even if you arrive a little late, the One Piece Expo will have already started or ended.
He might even be able to provide some medical support for Jabari and the Red-Haired Pirates.
"What?! The contest to win the Pirate King title has already begun?"
"Is the prize for the competition still the permanent compass to reach the final island and find the One Piece?"
"Oh no, I haven't found ten crew members yet, I'll never become the Pirate King!!"
Straw Hat Luffy only realized what was happening when Crocus casually mentioned it, and then panicked and shouted.
Does that mean his dream of finding the One Piece and becoming the Pirate King is over?
"Well, that's still uncertain."
After all, the World Government, the Marine Headquarters, and even... well, there are many people who want to destroy that permanent recurve.
"If we succeed, we'll still need to collect all the legendary red road sign texts to find the great treasure."
Crocus looked at Straw Hat Luffy with a somber expression, thinking, "This little guy who inherited Roger's will is still too weak."
He could probably wipe out the Straw Hat Pirates on his own now.
This newcomer with a bounty of 3000 million Berries is not qualified to participate in the Pirate Expo. Even if he goes to Iwo Jima, he will only be a cannon fodder-level henchman.
After all, this pirate expo will gather the strongest people from all over the world.
Even Crocus, the pirate king's doctor with decent strength, had to step aside.
Give Rayleigh, Jabba, and Shanks some support and healing.
"What a terrifying pirate expo! I bet all five Yonko are going to participate."
Nami, the little thief, was already trembling as she looked at the newspaper.
You have to understand that a dragon with a bounty of 2000 million Berries had oppressed them for so many years.
What kind of monsters are these super pirates with bounties of hundreds of millions, billions, or even tens of billions?
"The world's greatest swordsman will probably participate in this kind of war too."
A glint flashed in the eyes of Zoro, the pirate hunter, but the thought of the vast difference in their strength filled him with resentment.
"The Vinsmoke family has actually been subdued by the Luo Ji World Group."
Black Leg Sanji lit a cigarette, a hint of worry in his eyes—worry for his sister Reiju.
As for that heartless father and those beastly brothers, whether they live or die is none of his business.
"Luckily, we are still far from the New World, so it has nothing to do with us."
Usopp thankfully opened his thermos, poured himself a cup of hot tea, and slowly drank it, ignoring the crying and screaming Straw Hat Luffy.
"Lab and I are heading to the New World right away. Good luck to you!"
"I hope you can grow up and become great pirates who can stand on your own."
Crocus looked at the weak Straw Hat Pirates and had no intention of dragging them into this terrible war.
"Wait, Uncle Crocus, you're going to the New World? Are you going to that Pirate Expo?"
When Straw Hat Luffy saw Crocus packing his things, he immediately shouted, his eyes filled with longing.
He also wanted to participate in this pirate expo.
"You are too weak! You should just continue your voyage obediently!"
Crocus saw through Straw Hat Luffy's thoughts and politely refused.
He also somewhat believed in the prophecies left behind by Raphdru.
It was decided that the sun god Nika would rise and become the final savior.
Perhaps this pirate expo is just a farce.
He believed in Rayleigh Jabba and Shanks, along with the intervention of the World Government.
There is a high probability that this permanent pointer will be destroyed.
Let everything return to normal.
"Uncle Crocus, please take us to see it."
Straw Hat Luffy knelt solemnly before Crocus, pleading with longing.
This filled Usopp and Nami, those two cowards, with fear, and even Zoro and Sanji became nervous.
"This war is still too dangerous for you."
Crocus refused again, but he planned to ask Shanks and the others for their opinions.
Straw Hat Luffy's eyes were filled with disappointment when he heard Crocus's rejection.
But when he glanced at the Merry and the massive Laboon, a flash of inspiration struck him, and an idea popped into his head.
Meanwhile, in the latter part of the Grand Line, a yellow submarine is rapidly heading towards the Sabaody Archipelago, intending to enter the New World via Fish-Man Island.
Trafalgar Law learns that the Donquixote Family has been captured by the Law World Pirates, and that Doflamingo has also become a prisoner of the Law World Pirates.
This made Trafalgar Law even more eager to join the Law World Pirates, to find an opportunity to personally kill Doflamingo and avenge Corazon.
As a member of the 'D' clan, he also didn't want to miss this once-in-a-century pirate expo.
