Yes, this mysterious island that was taken away from his hometown in the West Sea by Moonlight Moria was eventually named Asgard by Victor. In the myth of another world, Asgard is also called the "Kingdom of Gods".
The entire island is wrapped in the gentle and refreshing breeze of early spring. Although it is not an island on the Grand Line, it unexpectedly possesses the characteristics of a 'climate island'.
In the fighting training hall on the island, the two captains of the crew, Bingshan and Franky, were having a heated argument in a lounge.
"You're crazy, Franky!"
Bingshan grabbed Franky's collar with a solemn expression and shouted loudly, "Do you know what you are talking about!?"
Frankie slapped Bingshan's hand away and angrily shouted back, "You idiot Bingshan, when will you loosen your old-fashioned thinking! Am I wrong?"
"Big mistake! You are not helping the boss by doing this!"
Bingshan, who wears a black turban and a short beard, is already 30 years old this year, but he still has full respect for Victor, who has just turned 18, for no other reason than that Victor is a man who truly considers the people, which is impressive.
The strong man who couldn't help but follow. Bingshan yelled at Franky, "I respect and love the boss as much as you do, and I hope to contribute my strength to him and 'Coral', but your idea... is too dangerous!"
Franky, who was still wearing his underpants to show off his perverted style, walked around the room anxiously twice, then stared at Bingshan and said slowly, "Idiot Mountain, you saw it too, the Ark of Passion is in [Firepower] and [Mobile]
There are serious deficiencies in this aspect! Just the fleet under the King of Snakes almost sank the Ark. You know the problem as well as I do! Just give her a 'level up', why do you have to think so complicated!?"
"You call this an 'upgrade'?"
Bingshan shook the drawing in his hand, made a clattering sound, and said in a slightly sarcastic tone, "Have you forgotten how you promised Mr. Tom?"
"I haven't forgotten it!" When he mentioned his mentor, Mr. Tom, Frankie became a little embarrassed.
"I just borrowed a little bit of the technology from [that thing]! Bingshan, you and I are no longer the frogs in the well who were trapped in the City of Seven Waters. There are so many dangerous strong men and monsters in this sea, and it's so difficult to cross.
Have you seen and heard less of the terrifying sea areas and bad weather? The Ark of Passion needs to [evolve]! She needs to go further and become stronger! Only in this way can the boss and 'Coral' be successfully brought to the other side of success.
!I want to ask you, do you still remember what the definition of [ship] is?"
Bingshan was in a daze and murmured, "The [ship] was born to fulfill such an agreement to transport people from one coast to the next..."
This is also the principle that Mr. Tom has always taught the two of them - even if the person is at fault, the ship is not. They are just fulfilling the agreement. The shipwright should treat the ship he built like he loves his own child.
They reshaped this Ark of Passion from a terrifying three-masted sailing ship to what it is today bit by bit. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as "renewed". In the eyes of Bingshan, this ship is like the most valuable one.
Just like a promising child.
"Besides, we are not recreating [that thing] in the world, we are just borrowing a little bit of the technology from it."
Seeing that Bingshan's attitude had softened, Franky struck while the iron was hot, "I promise you, I will never touch the most taboo techniques, just use a little scrap! Let's do it together, Bingshan!"
Bingshan looked serious and was engaged in a fierce ideological struggle. On one side was Mr. Tom's entrustment, and on the other side was the world's largest ship built by himself and his respected and trustworthy boss. Gradually, the balance began to tilt slightly.
"...I will supervise you, Franky."
Hearing Bingshan's words, Franky jumped up excitedly, "Haha! Don't worry, Idiot Mountain! I don't want to disobey Mr. Tom's instructions, so let's borrow a little bit of [that thing's] technology! First,
Should we start with [firepower] or [mobility]?"
"Hmm... [Mobility], the existing resources stored on the Ark are not particularly abundant. Let's make the Ark of Passion more flexible first, so that it can be more convenient."
The two of them spread out the drawings in the lounge and started discussing.
The Ark of Passion is still sailing straight towards the West Sea.
………………
On the Great Line 'New World', four naval warships are heading towards the G5 fortress.
"So, the 'Vicious Chain' is following the example of the ancients and conducting trials of cruising around the world?"
On the deck of the warship, 'Grey Dragon' Kyrgyzstan sat neatly on the wooden box, folded his arms on his chest, and said in a loud voice, "The World Government actually handed over the technology of 'Crossing the Windless Zone' to him instead of him."
Navy, it seems that the five old stars have high expectations for him."
Sitting opposite him was a woman with an unusually round figure, it was Cassina the 'Orange Mouse'. She held a plate of chocolate cake, took a small spoonful of it and put it into her mouth. She immediately showed a satisfied look, "Okay."
~~~Eat~~~! The evil chain is planning more than just the prestige brought by cruising around the world. Isn’t the noise he made in the South China Sea small?"
"[Hunter Association]..."
Kyrgyzk said with a serious face, "Although it is only a prototype, if it succeeds, the countless bounty hunters in this sea will have officially recognized organizations and leaders for the first time! Following the [Four Emperors], [Navy]
, after [King's Seven Martial Arts], will a fourth major force appear again? The top management is playing with fire!"
"The key is that the leader of the Hunter Association is actually a King's Shichibukai!" Cassina took a sip of juice nonchalantly. "Speaking of which, each of the King's Shichibukai is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Toto, tell us about the Seven
The latest developments in Wu Hai.”
A slim female marine next to her gave a military salute, then without turning over the information, she just said loudly with her hands behind her back.
"[Eagle Eye] Jurokiel Mihawk has rarely done anything out of the ordinary since the battle with Red Hair, but it is said that he recently occupied a recently destroyed kingdom and designated it as his own territory. There are also rumors that he
Very close to the evil chain."
"[Pirate Empress] Boya Hancock is still arrogant and domineering as she always does. Apart from the World Government, there is no target she dares not rob. The Nine Snake Island she rules is located in the windless zone, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Recently.
She also defeated the 'Tian Ping Pirates' along the way, and the 'Tian Ping' Grotta with a bounty of 420 million berries was killed by them."
"[Tyrant] Bartholomew Bear's whereabouts are mysterious and uncertain."
"[Sand Crocodile] Sand Crocodile recently appeared in the Kingdom of Alabasta and helped the king kill the invading pirates, which was widely praised by the people."
"[Seaman] Jinbei returned to Fishman Island to recuperate after the Battle of the Southern Kingdom. Now the navy has regarded him as the same camp as the murderous chain."
"[Evil Chain] Mafia Victor sailed away from the South China Sea after the Battle of the South China Sea. His whereabouts have not yet been found. However, according to the staff's speculation, his next stop should be the 'Western Sea'."
After listening to the female navy's statement, 'Grey Dragon' Kyrgyzk frowned and said, "The West Sea...is that the hometown of Fierce Chain?"
Cassina laughed. "Not only is the hometown of the vicious chain, but a man as strong as a monster also comes from there."
"Who are you talking about?" Kyrgyzk was a little confused.
Cassina showed four stubby fingers, her fat face turned into a smile.
"One of the [Four Emperors], 'Red-haired' Shanks!".6
