Chapter 103: Law's Life Motivation Change

New World, Moby Dick.

"Those old people… So, those who destroyed God Valley Island" Whitebeard muttered as he narrowed his eyes seriously.

"This is really very serious news, Oyaji" Marko said seriously, "With the World Government having ancient weapons. We will always be dangerous all the time"

"Don't be afraid" Whitebeard said seriously, "Even if the World Government has ancient weapons on their side. However, they could not use it freely. The use of this weapon may have several reasons that we do not know and it is only known by a few parties. Another thing is also to increase their percentage especially in some time, their good name has been destroyed by the Fortis Kingdom. The World Government definitely wants to get the good name they have."

"Does that mean the topic of the destruction of the Dressrosa Kingdom is just a diversion of the issue of obtaining the ownership rights to that ancient weapon?" Izo asked with a serious face.

"Gurarara~ You're right, Izo" Whitebeard nodded, "If the World Government used that ancient weapon and also claimed ownership of the rights to that ancient weapon without anything. Surely there will be many people who are against this, especially from the side of the kings who have an alliance with them. However, it's a different story if there is an incident like the current one. By becoming heroes, they can win people's hearts and let them hold the rights to the weapons."

"Disgusting bastard!" Ace shouted in annoyance, "Is that something they had to do just to take possession of the gun?"

"If it's the World Government, it's not unusual." Whitebeard said calmly, "Because they used that weapon several decades ago by eliminating an island called God Valley"

"God Valley?" Everyone muttered even Marko himself was hearing the name of the island for the first time.

Only one person whose gaze became very serious. That person was Teach, "Zehahahaha… The World Government has one ancient weapon? This is something surprising. Were they the ones who destroyed God Valley Island tens of years ago? Unlucky! I have to quickly get to that fruit in order to start my plan! If it takes too long, the plans you want to make will be useless."

"How is Vista at the moment? Has he found any sign of the existence of the swords?" Whitebeard asked.

"Vista just contacted me yesterday, Oyaji" Thacht said, "He said he hasn't found any sign of the whereabouts of the swords"

"Our group should be able to get one of those swords" Whitebeard said seriously, "The current World Government has started to interfere in matters of this world's power pattern. Octagon, Emperor of the Ocean, Navy and World Government. The current pattern of the world has changed to the four major forces. The Octagon and the World Government already have ancient weapons. Only the Emperor of the Ocean and the Navy remained who had not obtained it. If we want to survive in this ocean and do our will freely. We should be able to get one of those ancient weapons."

Whitebeard was a person who did not pursue power. But, that was then. It's different now. The current world government has begun to interfere with the pattern of power. If Whitebeard didn't move now, it was likely that their group would be eliminated sooner or later.

New World, Whole Cake Island Kingdom.

"This is really very shocking…" Oven said with a very gloomy face;

"The World Government is really hiding something really scary like this…" Daifuku added.

"We won't be completely safe from now on" Katakuri said very seriously, "The World Government could at any time come to attack us using that ancient weapon. If that happened, Whole Cake Island could be destroyed in just one hit. No one can be saved"

Katakuri paused for a moment and continued, "The destruction that the Dressrosa Kingdom got was probably due to their desire to establish a cooperative relationship with the Fortis Kingdom"

"What do you mean, Katakuri?" Big Mom asked with a face full of surprise upon hearing this.

Not only him but his children as well who were in the same room as him had expressions full of confusion.

Katakuri immediately explained the chronology of what happened a few days ago to everyone.

Perospero quickly sighed, "We were lucky. The Fortis Kingdom refuses to establish a cooperative relationship with our side. If they accept it, it is likely that we are now the target of the World Government."

"Depends" Katakuri said calmly.

"Depends? What do you mean Big Brother Katakuri?" Smoothy asked curiously.

"The Dressrosa Kingdom has not yet fully established a cooperative relationship with the Fortis Kingdom. Even so, they had obtained protection from them. However, I believe that the Fortis Kingdom will not attack the World Government due to this action, especially since the cooperation agreement has not been signed. With the attitude that King Fortis has, he definitely wouldn't care about what's going on right now" Katakuri paused and continued, "However, the case would be different if the Kingdom of Dressrosa had signed a cooperative relationship with the Kingdom of Fortis. They will definitely counterattack. The Duia government must have considered this and because of that they dared to attack the Dressrosa Kingdom"

"Mama…" Perospero suddenly turned around and looked at Big Mom, "We need to get one of those ancient weapons soon, Mama. The pattern of today's world has changed. If we don't get any of those ancient weapons. We will not be able to defend our current home."

"Yes" Big Mom nodded while narrowing her eyes, "We have to get it before the others get it. Send the whole army. Those of you who don't have jobs also go on a quest. Land, Ocean and Sky. All the places we had to look for. We have to get those weapons."

New World, Baltigo, Revolutionary Army Headquarters, Meeting Room.

"This is something bad for us…" Dragon said with a gloomy face, "I never thought that the World Government would hide such a terrifying weapon."

"Don't we have a way to remove possession of the ancient weapon?" Koala asked with a gloomy face but also very serious.

"That would be difficult to do" Linberg said, "The current World Government has set the scenario that they use that weapon to maintain security in this world. Although we ourselves don't know what is the real reason behind the World Government destroying Dressrosa Island. However, we cannot get them to remove possession of the weapon. That's hard to do now. There are many kingdoms that are likely to support ownership of the weapon being held by the World Government. Although there are also those who oppose it. However, if the majority vote is stronger. The World Government will definitely be in control of the weapon."

"Our future moves must be done carefully" Sabo said seriously, "The World Government has shown their weapons. Meaning that the World Government had also told the world that their strength was no worse than that of the Fortis Kingdom. Although we ourselves can't say who is stronger among them. However, considering that the World Government did not dare to attack the Fortis Kingdom even though it already had that weapon. It can be said that the Fortis Kingdom is stronger than them."

"Stronger…" The koala returned to his thoughts.

"Do you think the Fortis Kingdom will take action against this incident?" Karasu asked with great interest.

"It's impossible for them to take action" Bello Betty said calmly, "The Dressrosa Kingdom doesn't have any ties to the Fortis Kingdom. If the World Government attacks the Amazon Lily Kingdom, the Ryugu Kingdom or the Prodance Kingdom. The Fortis Kingdom will definitely take action to counterattack. If that happens, we can take advantage of the situation to make big moves all over the place. However, the case this time was that the World Government carried out an attack on a kingdom that had no ties to the Fortis Kingdom. Of course, King Fortis will not take any action regarding this matter."

"What do you think now, Dragon-san?" Koala asked while looking at Dragon.

Dragon closed his eyes and slowly thought then opened his eyes again, "Take back our entire army"

"Take back?" Everyone was surprised by the order from the Dragon.

"We will withdraw all our troops. Carrying out an attack at this time would be very dangerous especially the World Government has brought up the main weapon they have. My orders are regarding the withdrawal of troops not to withdraw all of them to retreat to headquarters. But hiding. Don't make any moves for now." Dragon paused and continued, "Our main task right now is to search for another ancient weapon, Pluton."

"Looking for an ancient weapon?" Everyone was surprised by this again.

"The pattern of world power has undergone a very significant change. The World Government which usually only deals with political affairs and not power affairs finally intervened. With Doflamingo's death, the current Shichibukai's power has decreased compared to before and will not become a major world power." Dragon said very seriously, "Our organization's goal is to build a world where everyone has equal rights. With the World Government still in this world, there is no way that such a world can be achieved especially the World Government has such an ancient weapon."

"Our enemy is the World Government. If we want to fight them, at least we have to have ancient weapons too" Dragon said back.

"But, how are we supposed to find that weapon? That weapon has even disappeared from history" Linberg said with a frown.

"There is a way" Dragon said quietly, "Pluton is a warship made by ship foreman from Water Seven Island. Of course, the current Pluton ship design is still neatly stored there. It's possible that the design was kept in a very hidden place or that someone is currently holding it and keeping it so that it doesn't fall into the wrong person."

"Where did you get this information, Dragon-san?" Sabo asked while raising his brow.

"I was previously a Former Marine Admiral Candidate" Dragon said calmly.

"Admiral Candidate?!" Sabo and Koala are the ones who don't know this information because they themselves are still quite young. Meanwhile Linberg, Bello Betty, Karasu, and the other higher-ups of the Revolutionary Army already knew about this because when Dragon was still a Marine, they had heard of his name.

"I got this information when I was visiting the Marijoa library when I was assigned the task of guarding there. I was lucky to gain access to the library and was able to get a lot of information that even a veteran wouldn't know." Dragon said seriously, "One of the reasons I left the Navy was also because of my entry into the library. There's a lot I know about how dark the Navy was at the time."

Dragon paused for a moment and continued, "There is no need to dwell on my past. The past has become the past. It will never happen again. Our focus right now is to go to Water Seven Island and look for Pluto's ship design."

Dragon's gaze stared at Sabo and Koala, "You two are currently unknown to the World Government regarding your involvement with us. I believe there are currently spies who have been sent by the World Government on Water Seven Island to search for Pluto's ship design. This is what caused me to entrust this task to you."

Sabo and Koala's gazes became very serious.

"I will definitely do my job to the best of my ability, Dragon-san. I definitely won't fail again" Sabo said as he clenched his fists tightly.

"Me too" Koala said seriously, "We will definitely get the design of the pluton ship"

North Blue, A Snowy Island.

"What?!" Law, who had just read the news through the newspaper that Beppo bought, immediately shouted loudly.

"I already said it, didn't I? Law would have been shocked when he read the information. Come on, pay here."

"Chi~ Here are 1000 berries for you"

Penguin immediately paid the bet money to Satchi.

"This… Is this information true?" Law muttered with a face full of shock, "The Dressrosa Kingdom was completely destroyed… Does that mean Doflamingo has died?"

Law was filled with feelings of excitement and it was also hard to believe the news he had received. Law currently only has one life motivation. Law's life motivation is to avenge Rosinante's death by Doflamingo.

But at this moment, the grudge he had seemed to suddenly disappear when he read the information in the newspaper.

Law immediately lowered the newspaper then looked up at the sky which was currently snowing, "Corazon… Did you see this. Doflamingo was finally destroyed because of his greed… Corazon… I hope you can rest in peace" Law muttered.

Law's gaze then looked to the side because of the commotion made by Beppo and the others. Law's face immediately changed to a sincere smile, "I think... I have got a new life motivation... Live freely with them"

Law again lifted the newspaper he was currently holding and then his gaze turned to one of the panels showing news about the Fortis Kingdom which had just finished recruiting in the Prodance Kingdom.

"Fortis Kingdom… Department of Health… With this power of mine… I definitely have a chance to be accepted there" Law muttered.

Law previously had a desire to become a pirate. This is because of his hatred for Doflamingo and Law wants to become a pirate to take revenge. However, now Law's motivation for life has changed. Compared to being a pirate for revenge.

Law prefers to get what he deserves with his friends. Beppo, Penguin, and Satchi are very valuable people to Law. At that time many people rejected the existence of Law. Only the three of them accepted Law sincerely and made Law their friend.

Currently Beppo cannot return to his hometown because he has no way of returning. While Penguin and Satchi currently only have one uncle. However, their uncle also never cared about them and only used the two of them as tools to earn money.

Law wants to repay the kindness of his friends by getting a job in the Fortis Kingdom and then living quietly there. Because Law is sure, as long as he gets a job there. The three of them have the possibility to be able to work there.

"But before that…" Law's gaze became serious, "We have to reach the New World Territory to get a chance to work there."

"New world?"

"Opportunity?"

"Work there? What are you thinking, Law?" Satchi asked confusedly.

Law smirked as he looked at his friends, "You think we should go to the New World and then apply for jobs in the Fortis Kingdom?"

"Fortis Kingdom?!" Penguin and Satchi who heard this were very surprised.

"Aren't you kidding, Law?" Penguin asked, "Of course we want to. Working in the Fortis Kingdom was heaven for all parties. Everyone even wants to get a job there."

"That's right" Beppo nodded, "Very comfortable house, high salary, and also get very good care. Even the villagers have the desire to work there. I even have the desire to work there"

"Are we going there, Law?" Satchi asked excitedly, "If that's the plan. Let's immediately prepare ourselves to sail there. I really want to get a job there"

"Relax" Law suddenly said, "I know you guys are excited. However, if we really want to work there. We must have the strength to go there. The current location of the Fortis Kingdom is unknown to anyone. However, there is a possibility that the location of the Fortis Kingdom will be in the New World which is the same as the location of the Prodance Kingdom."

Law paused for a moment and continued, "If we want to go there. We had to come to the territory of the New World where everyone knew that the territory of the New World was a very fierce sea area. We have to be prepared to go there. Either strength or mental. Because if we are not prepared, we will die before we can reach that place."

"Hahahaha… If that's all, we don't have to worry" Satchi said excitedly, "There you are. We trust our lives in you, Law. As long as we are always together, we will definitely be able to survive whatever problems befall us."

"That's right, Law. You are the head of our group. We will follow all your orders. We also trust our lives for you." Penguin also added with a smile.

Beppo nodded and his gaze filled with trust towards Law.

Law chuckled softly as he stood up from his spot, "Well then. Let's prepare ourselves along with the ship that we will use. We also need to prepare money and everything to travel. The journey to the New World would take a long time. We have to prepare everything. Let's go back to the house to prepare all that."

"Okay Captain!"
