One Piece Seat Void - Chapter 231
New World, Hundred Flowers Island, Greem’s.
Two years after Ares’ birth, Locke and his son Ares were playing in the garden. “Locke, Locke, Chief Locke!” While Locke was amusing Ares, a pirate barged into the garden.
“Chief Locke! The Pirate King, the Pirate King has been born!” The panting pirate finally delivered the shocking news that had astonished countless people.
“The Pirate King? Is that so? Roger, that guy, has finally accomplished it.” Upon hearing the pirate’s words, Locke said thoughtfully. The emergence of the Pirate King was not surprising to him.
“By the way, this year is coming to an end in the Sea Era, 1497. It’s about time.”
“Dad, who is Roger? How could he be the Pirate King? The only one who can become the Pirate King is me!”
Ares, as the son of Locke and Ruth, possessed unparalleled talents. At just one year old, Ares displayed an unmatched ability to learn. He quickly grasped everything his father taught him and could apply it.
Under Locke’s guidance, Ares could control his awakened Observation Haki at the age of one and a half. His innate Observation of Haki allowed him to read the minds of all creatures in the world.
This ability enabled him to communicate with any creature. By the age of two, he had become the king of all flora and fauna on Greem’s Island.
He could command all the island’s animals and plants to help him with anything. As a result, Ares became one of the little troublemakers on the island.
He was joined by Ruth’s daughter, Louise, and Barbosa’s son, Sparrow. Although the other two were two years older than Ares, his natural leadership abilities quickly subdued them, making them his loyal followers.
The three naughty kids soon turned Greem’s into chaos. Ares’ name had become widely known on Greem’s Island. “Is that so? To become the Pirate King is not so easy, Ares.” Locke chuckled and ruffled Ares’ hair.
“Hmph!” Ares struggled out of Lox’s embrace and jumped to the ground.
“In this world, besides you, Dad, the only one who can become the Pirate King is me!”
“Buzz!” When Ares finished this sentence, a fierce Conqueror’s Haki burst out of him, sweeping the entire garden.
Locke stared in astonishment at Ares. Although he had absolute confidence that his son would possess Conqueror’s Haki, seeing it with his own eyes made him extremely joyful and gratified.
“Haha, truly my son, Ares!” Lox tightly hugged Ares and playfully messed up his hair.
“Damn, don’t mess up my hair!” Although he complained, Ares’ smile was impossible to hide.
“Hey, Ares!” Just when Ares was proud of himself, a girl’s voice sounded. Louise and Sparrow, with their golden pigtails, walked into the garden.
Behind them, Ruth and Barbosa were in conversation. “Hey, Louise, Sparrow, have you guys finally come? Also, you have to call me Captain Ares!”
Ares, seeing his two little buddies, left Lox and excitedly ran over. After a short conversation, the three of them quickly ran off. After the three left, Locke, Ruth, and Barbosa sat around a table.
“Locke, have you heard the news? Roger, that guy, successfully sailed around the Grand Line. He’s now called the Pirate King by all pirates.”
Ruth spoke first.
“Yeah, I just got the news. I never expected Roger, that guy, to really find Laugh Tale. But he’s the man who deserves that title.” Locke said thoughtfully.
“Heh, even though Roger became the Pirate King, there will still be many who won’t recognize it in this sea. The Roger Pirates are going to be busy next.” Barbosa took a puff from his cigarette and chuckled.
“Well, as long as they don’t get in our way, it doesn’t matter who becomes the Pirate King.” Lox didn’t mind at all and remembered something.
“By the way, strengthen the defenses of the entire Atvar Sea during this time. I don’t want any interruptions because of Roger becoming the Pirate King.”
“Oh, I understand. By the way, about that Devil Fruit you wanted me to find, I’ve got some leads.”
“Oh? The Nature-type ability? Where is it?”
“Well, I got some information from the Dark World. There’s someone in the Bermuda Sea of the New World who has used a similar power.
“Bermuda Sea? I see, you keep an eye on it. If it’s real, send someone to bring that guy here. That ability is perfect for Ares.”
“Alright, that’s enough about that. Today’s weather is good. Call Jace and Visa over; let’s have a drink.” At this time, in the New World, in Wano Country, Onigashima Island, Kaido sat cross-legged on the ground, drinking wine.
“Sob, Roger, I never thought you would really become the Pirate King. Damn! I’ll never recognize it!” Drunk Kaido alternated between shedding tears and furious roars.
“That Big Snake is still unable to completely control the samurai in Wano Country. It’s a waste of my time!” In the New World, on the Moby Dick, the Whitebeard Pirates were holding a lively celebration.
“Gulalalala, boys, keep drinking! Tonight, we’re not going home sober!”
“Dad, but I paid for all this wine!”
“Gulalalala, Vista, what’s wrong with Dad drinking the wine you bought!”
“Damn, Dad, you have to treat us to drinks next time!” Unlike the joyful Whitebeard Pirates, the Navy Headquarters was shrouded in silence.
“Roger, that damn guy! He actually succeeded in sailing around the Grand Line! What a feat!” Captain Kappo looked at the latest intelligence with some emotion. As they discussed the Roger Pirates, the atmosphere was full of melancholy.
