Chapter 782
Times Have Changed
The soldiers were taken by Marines to rest. After all, although Leda’s ability can heal, there is nothing she can do about hunger and mental fatigue.
In Kuro’s opinion, that soldier has basically reached the edge of collapse. Although he has recovered his strength, if he doesn’t rest well, he probably won’t last long.
As for this period…
At this time, he had arrived at the hillside north of the village.
The hillside was bare and there was no vegetation at all. Down the hillside, there were dense mines extending diagonally and some signs of life.
Previously, there were people mining here, but because there were too many mines, they did not know which one it was.
Kuro didn’t know either.
But, no harm done.
He stretched out his hand and shook it hard at the hillside.
“Lion Wei Ground Scroll!”
Rumble …
With the sound, the surrounding area shook, and the terrain of the hillside was changing. From the surroundings, it began to distort and converge towards the center. The hillside and even the entire ground below condensed into a thick stone pillar, and at the top, it formed a mighty lion head.
“Spit it out!”
Kuro flipped his hand up and the lion’s head changed its shape and opened its mouth towards the sky. The irregular shapes of the stones, glowing red and green in the sunlight, came out of the lion’s mouth and flew straight into the sky.
With his current ability, it would be too easy to find a difference in the rocks.
The bomb rock mine hidden at the bottom of this hill was pulled out by Kuro bit by bit until he could no longer feel any foreign objects different from the rock, and Lion Head could no longer spit out the bomb rock.
“Don’t waste it.”
Looking at the gathered Big Stone Lion, Kuro raised his finger and with a bang, the hillside was pulled up from the roots and also rose into the sky, leaving a flat ground as if it had been run over by a steamroller.
Kuro bit his cigar and exhaled a mouthful of smoke. He looked up at the sky and smiled. “The weather is good and the harvest is good.”
While Kuro was fleecing people, on the other side of Corfu Island, a group of people gathered in a slightly empty place. One of them sat on a big rock, his body was like a mountain of flesh. As he kicked the corpse in front of him, the flesh on his body rolled.
“The Kingdom of Corfu is a country of pirates. That kid Aquitaine actually wants to join the World Government. What a shame!”
As Roshan spoke, he smoked the cigarette in his mouth and smoke came out of his nose, shooting like an arrow.
“Lord Sheridan! Why don’t we go to Stone King City and capture this country!”
A pirate suggested excitedly, causing the surrounding pirates to agree.
“Yes, let’s go to Stone King City! Lord Sheridan can also rule this country!”
“That’s right, they have enslaved us for so long, why can the Corf Family still rule this kingdom!”
“I am an outsider, but I heard that the Kingdom of Korf is a country of pirates, not a country of slaves, nor a country of the World Government. Pirates also have the pride of pirates!”
“Occupy this country!”
“Yes, occupy this country!”
Faced with the cries of the pirates, the Roshan named Sheridan took a deep puff of his cigarette. As the smoke spewed out, his expression was also covered by the smoke, making it difficult to see clearly.
An image inexplicably appeared in his mind.
On a pirate ship in the sea, an ordinary young man asked a handsome and thin young man.
“Xie Lidan, what do you want to do in the future?”
“Me?” The handsome young man was stunned for a moment and said, “Well… When I retire, I will go back to Corf Island and find a woman to marry and have children and start a family.”
The ordinary young man smiled and his teeth looked very white under the sunlight. “Marriage and children are really a noble dream. I have decided that when I inherit the throne in the future, I will push your dream to Corf Island!”
The handsome young man shook his head violently. “No, no, no, Noadi, this is not noble at all. I am just a normal man’s retirement life. You are the future king of Corfu, the king of the Pirate Country. How can you carry out this kind of dream?”
“A Pirate Country…”
The ordinary young man looked up and murmured this word. Then he shook his head and said, “Sheridan, many lives have been lost in the Kingdom of Corfu because of this name. Although we are also pirates, if possible, it is better to be peaceful. Times will change, even that Locus may be defeated…”
“What a joke, that’s Lox!” The handsome young man didn’t believe it at all.
But the result was that Lox was really defeated by a Marine named Garp.
“It’s not just Karp!”
After receiving this news, Noardi said, “Do you still remember the kid in the straw hat who met us, Roger! He also participated in the battle and he must have defeated Lox. Sheridan, the times are changing!”
“How is that possible? Isn’t that a rumor? That’s just a kid, how can he have such ability?” At that time, Sheridan didn’t believe it at all.
At that time, Roger was just a newcomer who had just gone out to sea, and he did not have the name of the famous ‘Pirate King’.
But when he becomes the Pirate King, it will not be long before he is arrested.
But at that time, Sheridan didn’t wait for the news of Roger’s arrest, he was arrested first.
When he came out again, he had just stepped on this land when the old Noadi led his troops to surround him.
“Times have changed, Sheridan.”
That cold expression and voice still lingered today.
As the smoke dissipated from his face, Sheridan opened his eyes and looked at the pirates and shouted, “Good!!”
He stood up and looked in the direction of the Stone King City and said, “Then occupy this country! Return to the pride of the Pirate Country!”
Noady …
You let me down first!
“Oh!!!!”
The pirates cheered.
Several of the pirates looked at each other and smiled.
They were also old pirates. When Noadi took the throne twenty years ago, they were captured by Noadi and were slaves for more than twenty years.
But when Straw Hat came and defeated Noadi, they were liberated, but they did not choose to sail.
With their strength and age, they would definitely not be able to compare to the new generation if they set sail again, so they simply stayed here.
They know everything about this country. With so many pirates left behind, if they gather together, they can also capture this country!
Moreover, they also have a killer weapon called Lord Sheridan. This is a very famous pirate who escaped from Impel Down more than twenty years ago.
‘Undying’ Sheridan.
Moreover, there is also something called Bomb Rock. As long as they use Lord Sheridan’s name and Bomb Rock, they can still become famous on Corfu Island.
