After the Lulu Seth massacre, Roy has been classified as a pirate with a level of danger that rivals that of the Hundred Beasts Kaido and Charlotte Ling Ling, and the one billion and fifty million dollar reward is totally worth it.
And, the Navy now believes that Roy moves in a very similar way to the Hundred Beasts Kaido, preferring to go it alone, with his associates, who will choose to back him up when it counts, and, all of whom are damn near unkillable ...
Tsuru's choice to ask to go in search of Alesia was quickly approved, and he immediately went with his own regiment of women.
But a few days later the trail was broken when it was revealed through Porusalino's investigation that Alethea had arrived at her destination, bought a small boat alone, and gone off to nowhere.
After pondering for a while, Tsuru decided to take a couple of laps of the surrounding waters now to try his luck and then report back to headquarters.
Two days later, another big news came, the Roger Pirates and the Flying Dutchmen once again negotiated a break and both sides entered into a battle, only the Roger Pirates seized the moment to flee and did not give the Golden Lion Pirates a chance, but both sides already had a collision, but the battle was suspended after a third party, White Beard, intervened.
Roger's Pirates and the Golden Lion fleet left the territory of Whitebeard's Pirates, but it was only a matter of time before they met again.
With Roger and the Golden Lion threat out of the way, Whitebeard will have to settle the score with Roy for killing his adorable son, the former Captain of the Second Squad, Druzy, earlier.
He had also read the recent news that, after the massacre at Lulusais, Roy's bounty had surpassed that of any of his own captains. Although bounty does not mean strength, Roy was definitely not something that any of his own captains could deal with, and it seemed that he would have to take matters into his own hands.
But the intelligence capabilities of the Whitebeard Pirates are top-notch among pirates, but far from the level of the World Government, which has its hands in the air, and the environment in the New World is very complicated, so it's not easy to find Roy.
White Beard was not so stupid as to cast his net wide and throw all his men out in search of them, but instead concentrated his forces, over forty ships, with more than thirty pirate groups under them, all concentrated in the nearby waters, becoming for a moment a super fleet not inferior to the Golden Lion, the first pirate fleet of the sea.
With such a brick wall formation, he drifted through the sea, sending only a small number of men as a search force.
I have to say, Whitebeard is really smart, if he spreads his net, he definitely won't get Roy's information first, but his own men will be killed first.
Concentrating most of the forces together and a small number of people to search is the right way to go.
...
After a week's time, Roy sensed through the holy light that Alessia had stayed in one place for more than three days, and there was no doubt that she had reached the ruins of the Concordia Kingdom.
"What a time to keep me waiting, Alessia!"
Roy took a big swig from his beer mug and ordered Plank to speed up his progress.
It was so exciting, even the world government wanted it and would destroy a country to do so, just like the demon slaying order that destroyed O'Hara in the future to protect the secrets of the world that had been empty for a hundred years.
The kingdom of Concordia, formerly known as the "Land of the Air", with its unique scenery, is now in ruins, but the buildings that have crumbled to the ground show that it must have been very prosperous.
To the north of the country, or rather the ruins, there is an icy lake surrounded by a crater, and one can feel the layers of cold air rising from the surface of the lake just by standing next to it.
A woman dressed in white civilian clothes with slightly curly flaxen hair sits beside a rock on the shore, her delicate figure not even concealed by the heavy clothing that wraps around her body.
On the surface of the lake, with the occasional remnants of the country's buildings still floating, the frozen lake is like a graveyard, dead and cold.
Suddenly, in the midst of the fog, a sound of footsteps rang out, and Alessia turned her head to look behind her, only to see a man and a woman emerge from the fog, the man 5'8" tall, his white trench coat fluttering in the wind, and the woman in a blue magical robe, her figure no less than Alessia's.
"Was this place, too, destroyed by the World Government?" Gianna glanced at the wreckage filled lake and a chill filled her body.
"Ah ... yes!" Roy replied.
"The World Government, it's still really irritating, like it's going to be destroyed soon!" Gianna's impression of the World Government was already bad enough.
Alessia looked a little excited to see Roy's arrival, she herself didn't know why she felt this way, but after seeing Gianna, she was a little lost, she couldn't say how she felt, after hearing the conversation between the two, Alessia said, "This is the place where I used to play as a child, now, it's ruined, all thanks to the World Government and that gang of enablers of the Navy ..."
Alessia's words made both Roy and Gianna feel a wave of emotion, although Roy was a murderer, killing 30,000 people without blinking an eye, but that was for resurrection money, can that be called killing? It was called purification, and those who took up arms had to be ready to die at any time, didn't they?
But Roy was ultimately a man with feelings, and if his home was destroyed, the grief and hatred would be imprinted deep into his bones, indelible.
"I don't suppose there's anyone from the World Government or the Navy following, is there?" Alessia asked as she looked around for a moment.
The kingdom of Concordia had disappeared from the map, and the current maps did not mark this place, and even more so, there was no permanent pointer record of coming here.
It had taken a lot of effort for Alethea to get here in the first place, and it was based on old maps from ten years ago that she had barely found it.
"What are you talking about, if that was the case, I would have been killed by the Navy, the Navy and all, so scary~" Roy modulated the mood by picking up the tone of Yellow Ape's voice.
"It doesn't matter how you can't be killed anyway, it doesn't matter!" Alessia laughed, having regained her freedom, she was in a much happier mood lately.
Roy and Gianna walked to the edge of the frozen lake, and after five seconds of admiring the view, Roy spoke, "Where is the stuff? It's not at the bottom of the lake is it!"
"You got it right!"
Alessia walked up next to Roy and gazed at the frozen lake, "At the bottom of the lake, there is a very hidden mechanism that can only be opened by someone with the royal bloodline and the method my grandfather taught me!"
"Hurry up and get started!"
Without further ado, Alessia leapt into the icy lake, it seemed that this was not the first time she had done this.
"Gianna, you watch from above!" Said Roy, who also took a long leap and jumped down after him.
There were no ferocious animals in this icy lake, except for some ordinary freshwater fish, and Alessia looked to Roy like a mermaid on Fishman Island, moving quickly towards the bottom of the lake.
When they reached the bottom of the lake, Roy and Alesia steadied themselves together, and to Roy's first eyes here, there was nothing but rocks and rubbish beneath their feet.
