One Piece: Beginning as the Monkey King

The journey was a long journey.

It was the end of April when Bardock left the Kingdom of Flowers, but when Bardock and his crew completed their voyage around the West Sea, it was already the end of the year 1508 in the Sea Circle Calendar.

The reason for this is that they were not as hurried as Luffy and his crew. Whenever Bardock and his crew arrived at an island, they would have a good time there, eat local delicacies, enjoy the unique scenery, and stay a little longer on some interesting islands.

On the way, Bardock also asked about the Devil Sheriff Lafayette, the West Sea Sheriff who joined the Blackbeard Pirates later. Unfortunately, he found nothing. Bardock thought that Lafayette might not be famous yet, or he might not be a sheriff yet. Time waits for no one. After the New Year, they will set off for the Grand Line, so they did not continue to inquire.

It was another New Year's Eve in the Kingdom of Ilucia. Bardock and his friends gathered together to hold a grand banquet. In addition to Bardock's partners, the senior executives of the Dandelion Chamber of Commerce also attended.

The Dandelion Chamber of Commerce is no longer the small chamber of commerce. It took less than two years to open up the market in the Kingdom of Ilucia and neighboring countries and become a multinational chamber of commerce.

Many high-level executives of the Chamber of Commerce who were promoted later respected Robin as a god. It was this young woman who made plans between the tents and won thousands of miles away. Every major decision of the Chamber of Commerce had no problems. Everyone believed that as long as they continued to follow such a boss, the Dandelion Chamber of Commerce would become stronger and stronger, and maybe one day it would become a cross-sea business giant.

Bardock hardly intervened in the management of the Chamber of Commerce. He only made a request to establish a security group, train excellent guards, and the Chamber of Commerce's fleet would be protected by the security group.

In this regard, Bardock also designed a set of training methods and handed them over to Robin. According to this method, qualified people can almost reach the level of junior officers in the navy, and they need to work hard to go further.

…

Seven days later, on the White Dragon Horse.

"Look, that's the Red Earth Continent, right? It's so high! You can't see the end of the top!"

Perona stood on the observation deck of the ship and shouted, pointing at the mountain wall in front.

"This is too high, the clouds are only halfway up the mountain!"

It was the first time that Cai saw such a scene.

Leo and Mansherry were much calmer. They had already crossed the Red Earth Continent on Bardock's ship.

"Well, it is said to be 10,000 meters high! It's hard to imagine that such a high mountain is the entrance to the Grand Line."

Robin also looked at the Red Earth Continent in the distance, feeling excited and hesitant. She always had a little fear of the World Government, afraid of implicating her companions on the ship.

"Who would build a canal on a mountain like this?"

Even a calm person like Daz Bonis couldn't help but ask.

"Who knows? The entrance to the canal is in front of us, and the seawater will surge up the mountain there. Everyone, be prepared. The current is very fast, don't get thrown off."

Bardock's eyes had already seen the entrance to the canal, and he reminded everyone loudly.

Not long after, the White Dragon Horse rushed quickly to the entrance of the canal along the current. Bardock kept adjusting the angle. Now he can be regarded as an expert in ship operation, so it was very smooth, and the ship entered the canal without any danger.

"Okay, next, just wait, the ship will follow the current into the Grand Line."

Relieved, Bardock had prepared the somersault cloud, and thought there would be unexpected situations.

"Great! I didn't expect it to be so easy to enter the Grand Line."

Perona was relieved. She had heard that the entrance to the Grand Line was extremely dangerous, and countless pirates fell at the entrance of the canal every year.

"Things in this world are easy for those who know how to do them, but difficult for those who don't. Those people failed because of bad luck. I'm afraid most of them rushed into the Grand Line without being prepared." Robin said with emotion.

The White Dragon Horse quickly reached the highest point and then began to rush down rapidly.

"It was really smooth."

Until the ship officially entered the Grand Line, Bardock and his companions did not encounter any trouble. Neither the rudder broke nor Lab hit the Red Earth Continent.

"This should be the Twin Cape, right? I heard that there is an old man guarding the lighthouse, and I don't know if he is still there."

Robin was able to collect information about the Grand Line in the West Sea, which shows that she was well prepared.

"Let's go to the lighthouse and take a look!"

Bardock

The boat was maneuvered towards a lighthouse. Unlike the other side, there were no signs of human life here.

When they arrived under the lighthouse, they saw an old man who was concentrating on reading a newspaper.

Noticing the arrival of Bardock and others, he looked up and continued to read the newspaper.

The scene was a little quiet for a while. Bardock knew that Crocus had some bad taste and didn't know how to speak.

Robin and the others were waiting for Bardock to speak, after all, he was the captain.

Crocus was also waiting for the other side to speak, and then teased the other side. This was one of the few pleasures he had guarding the Twin Cape Lighthouse. Every time he saw those newcomers being stimulated and furious, he was secretly happy. Young people really lack experience.

"Hey, you guys talk."

The quiet scene made Perona confused.

"Well, Perona, give this old man a negative ghost!"

Bardock decided to strike first and give you a negative ghost to see if you can hide.

"Ah? Okay."

Although she didn't understand Bardock's intention, Perona still cooperated and commanded a passive ghost to fly towards Crocus.

Crocus frowned. Why didn't this group of people play by the rules? Feeling that this white ghost might not be touched, he dodged the ghost's attack with a flexibility that was inconsistent with his body.

"Newcomer, who are you? Why did you attack me?"

"When asking someone a question, shouldn't you first report your name as a courtesy?"

Bardock seized the opportunity and said quickly.

Crocus paused. This familiar sense of sight, "You are right..."

"My name is Bardock. These are my companions. We are traveling adventurers. You asked why we attacked you. This is just a joke with you, senior."

Bardock's words made Crocus understand that the other party might have heard of his deeds, but was it so annoying for him to talk like that?

"Do you know me?"

Although I think Bardock knows me, I still have to ask.

"Kurocus, the best doctor in the sea."

Bardock didn't say much, only his public identity as a doctor.

"What do you mean by best? It's just a reputation!" Kurokus thought that he couldn't cure Roger no matter how hard he tried, and he was a little bored. "What's your purpose in looking for me?"

"I mainly want to buy a pointer from Mr. Kurokus. It would be even better if there is an eternal pointer. We are going to Jaya Island."

Bardock has the eternal pointer of the New World, but not the pointer of the first half of the Grand Line Paradise.

"Jaja Island? I have the pointer, but I don't have the eternal pointer of Jaya Island. You can exchange it with food."
