One Piece: At the start, defeat Momonosuke and take Yamato to sea.

Chapter 304 Big News: Permanent Pointer

The next day.

Sengoku, who was originally at the G1 Navy branch, was still puzzled by the sudden withdrawal of new Navy members such as Aramaki and Issho.

As a result, the big news that morning dealt him a heavy blow.

One Piece Expo?

A permanent pointer to Laugh Tale?

A ticket to the title of One Piece?

These headlines, displayed in enormous sizes on newspaper pages, startled the admiral, leaving him in a cold sweat.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

"This is a rumor! This is definitely a conspiracy!"

"How could the final island possibly have a permanent timeline?!"

"If we had the permanent Poseidon for Laugh Tale, Shanks, a member of Roger's pirate crew, would have already landed on Laugh Tale again to seize the One Piece and the title of Pirate King!"

Sengoku the Buddha completely broke down and started cursing, saying that if there were a permanent pointer to Laugh Tale, what would be the point of the Four Emperors searching for and stealing the Red Poneglyphs?

It's important to know that Kaido and Big Mom were always plotting against the Red Poneglyphs and had no idea about the existence of Eternal Pointers.

"The newspaper says this is something that Luo Ji, the Godslayer, personally vouched for as true!"

"Luo Ji also said that we could go to the Sabaody Archipelago and Elbaf to find Rayleigh, the right-hand man of the Pirate King, and Jabba the Mountain Devourer to verify this."

The members of Roger's pirate crew were generally aware of the existence of the Eternal Log Pose, the final island.

Lieutenant General He carefully read the newspaper, and felt a sense of heaviness towards the seemingly well-written information.

In particular, the newspaper even published a photo of the Laugh Tale Perpetual Pointer.

This made Lieutenant General Tsuru feel that it was probably true.

That means that if Luo Ji wanted to, the Luo Ji World Group could land on the final island, Laugh Tale, right now.

To become the new Pirate King.

For some reason, Luo Ji chose to hold a pirate expo to decide who could obtain the permanent pointer and become the new Pirate King.

"The newspapers haven't announced the time and location of the One Piece Expo yet!!"

Momousagi Gion suddenly shouted out in a solemn voice, a chilling thought surging into her mind.

Luo Ji will definitely use the Laugh Tale Perpetual Log Pose and the Pirate Expo to seize the title of Pirate King to deliver a heavy blow to the World Government and the Marine Headquarters.

If the World Government and the Marine Headquarters don't intervene, the world will likely descend into even greater chaos once a new Pirate King emerges.

"Luo Ji is releasing this information now, igniting a global uproar. His ultimate target is definitely the World Government and the Navy..."

"Next, we will face a terrible super war!"

Vice Admiral Tsuru also figured out Luo Ji's real purpose in hyping up the Pirate Expo in advance.

Luo Ji had no desire to become the Pirate King; his goals were always the World Government and the Celestial Dragons.

He probably no longer cares about the position of Pirate King; he wants to be the king of the entire world!

That's why he released Laugh Tale's permanent pointer as a prize.

This man's ambition is truly terrifying!

The Luo Ji World Group has now repeatedly stated that they do not want to target all navies, especially those with a sense of justice and a dove mentality.

Luo Ji only targets hawkish Navy members who are loyal to the World Government and the Celestial Dragons.

However, if the dovish and neutral navies continue to be blindly loyal to the Celestial Dragons, they will also become targets for elimination by the Luo Ji World Group.

Is war coming?

Kuzan Aokiji's expression was extremely serious. He hadn't expected this world war to come so quickly, leaving him somewhat unprepared and bewildered.

Are the Celestial Dragons really worth protecting with his life?

Is the new navy established by Professor Zephyr the future of the navy?

"This is terrifying."

Kizaru wiped away imaginary cold sweat, feeling quite uneasy. Couldn't this world be a little more peaceful?

It's really impossible for me to enjoy a few years of leisurely retirement.

"Everyone, prepare for maximum combat readiness. I need to discuss a decision with the Five Elders!"

Buddha Sengoku hurriedly left the conference office to let the world's highest powers decide how to deal with the crisis.

···

At this moment, all the powerful forces and influential figures around the world who saw today's news were shocked by this major news.

Is a new Pirate King about to appear at this Pirate Expo?

This is so exciting!

Whoever obtains the permanent pointer of Laugh Tale possesses the key to the One Piece and becomes the top candidate to become the Pirate King.

Countless ambitious pirates went mad.

The title and power of the Pirate King are right before their eyes, waiting for them to seize them.

If the newspapers hadn't yet published the address and time of the Pirate Expo, they would have loved to set off immediately for the event.

On the Chambord Islands.

"How is that possible! Roger clearly threw that permanent pointer into the sea!"

"How could this have ended up in Luo Ji's hands!"

Rayleigh, like Sengoku the Buddha, breached the Great Defense. So what's the point of Jabba hiding the red Poneglyph from Fishman Island in Elbaf?

With this permanent pointer, there's no need to collect all four red historical texts!

"You really created a permanent pointer on the final island!?"

"You bastard Rayleigh, why have you never mentioned this information to me before!"

Xia Qi looked at the man she had lived with for over twenty years and grabbed Rayleigh's ear.

How many secrets is this guy hiding from her?

"That was a permanent pointer that Mullin secretly made. After Roger discovered it, he threw it into the sea!"

"I never expected that this place wouldn't be destroyed, and that the Luo Ji World Group would find it!"

Rayleigh's eyes were filled with anger towards Mullin, while he lamented the cruel twist of fate, wondering why Roger hadn't just crushed the Perpetual Pointer instead of throwing it into the sea.

Is all of this fate?

"Mullin? That Captain Mullin who left the Navy?"

"Are you sure he's not a naval spy?"

Shakky exhaled a puff of smoke, somewhat speechless. To take a former naval captain as a partner, Roger's boldness and thought process were truly remarkable.

"Roger said Mullin meant no harm, and you also know about Roger's special Observation Haki."

Rayleigh sighed. Mullin was also their good brother, and they had spent more than ten years together. But after he secretly made that permanent pointer, he became someone that all his companions looked down on.

After Roger's pirate crew disbanded, all news about him disappeared.

"No malice means nothing."

"Perhaps his family is controlled by the World Government, forcing him to complete certain missions."

"Secretly creating a permanent pointer doesn't seem to have harmed you."

Shakky, an intelligence expert, felt that Mullin was definitely suspicious, since it was not uncommon for the World Government and the Navy to plant spies in major pirate crews.

The world destroyer Bundy Wald was brought down by a CP spy.

It was fine that Shakky didn't know about the permanent Log Pose on Laugh Tale before, but Mullin stayed on Roger's ship until Roger disbanded the pirate crew, which shows his loyalty and dedication.

But now that she knows what Mullin has done, she even suspects that Roger's terminal illness might be related to Mullin.

She knew that human nature was the most difficult thing to look at directly.
