The Pirate Family

The entrance of the first pirate emperor was a shot in the arm for the pirates participating in this war.

Since the top naval officers did not participate in the battle, Charlotte Lingling, as the Pirate Emperor, wreaked havoc in the midst of this battlefield, and the navy crumbled.

After harvesting the souls scattered in the battlefield, Charlotte Lingling made more puppets through these souls, which greatly increased the fighting power of the pirate side.

But none of this had anything to do with Lorne.

Back when Lorne and Saber encountered each other.

"You mean, you're from the Red Earth Continent's Revolutionary Army?"

Lorne looked at the teenager standing in front of him, a hint of contemplation showing in his eyebrows.

In his memory, it seemed that there was indeed a teenager named Saber in the Revolutionary Army, whose identity was the adopted son of the Revolutionary Army leader Dragon, but his real identity was the brother of the Pirate King protagonist Luffy.

But for some other reason or another, Saber lost his memories and has been following the dragon in various revolutionary endeavors.

"What's the problem?"

The young man's confused voice snapped Lorne back to reality. He didn't understand what was wrong with his identity.

"No, there's no problem."

Lorne shook his head and said quietly. These feuds between Saber and Luffy's protagonists were of no concern to him, and what he whole wanted to know now was what kind of information the revolutionaries, or the dragon, wanted to convey to him.

"What kind of information did the dragon send you here to mention to me?"

Lorne looked at the boy in front of him and asked quietly.

"A man worthy of legend,"

Saber sat down in front of Lorne and exclaimed.

"I guessed at once that the Dragon Chief had sent me!"

Lorne's face was expressionless, Saber's compliments meant nothing to him.

"You've fought Shadows before, I suppose you've questioned it,"

Saber said slowly.

"Shadows?"

Lorne hadn't expected Saber to come here and mention this man. At this point, he had roughly guessed the other party's intentions.

"Yes, Shadow, has Lord Lorne ever wondered if a strong man of Shadow's strength could never be a nobody, why, he never heard of it himself before."

Saber spoke in a paragraph. The strong men who rose in the new generation usually had their own rise, such as U and Neo, who had the experience of adventuring from Paradise, all the way to the new world. And because they were too young and inexperienced in combat, their control of the two-colored Hegemony was not as good as the old strongmen of the New World, and they wouldn't have been ranked at all in the New World if their fruit abilities weren't so perverted.

And there were very few strong men like Shadow, who was so rootless that he suddenly appeared in the New World, and no one could find out about his past.

But Lorne already knew Shadow's heel, and he didn't say anything, gesturing for Saber to continue.

"Shadow, it's possible that his real origin is not the Pirate World, but the World Government!"

Saber looked directly into Lorne's eyes and said slowly.

Lorne was surprised, he had learned of Shadow's identity after fighting the dead body of his master, one of the five old stars, so how did the revolutionaries know.

Now he was getting curious about what Saber was trying to mention to him.

"Lord Lorne should be curious as to the true identity of the Five Old Stars!"

Saber suddenly made no end of references.

"We don't even know what makes the Five Old Stars to be able to sit in this position, as if they have been the Five Old Stars since we were born, and we have defaulted to them for so many years."

Lorne looked at Saber with some surprise, as if that was indeed the case.

According to the information he had received, it seemed that the Five Old Stars had always been the Five Old Stars, the ones that ruled the world government. After breaking with the world government, Lorne had investigated the Five Old Stars, but the information he got was nothing but their appearance.

Now that he thought about it, Lorne didn't even know the names of these Five Old Stars, or even when they had become Five Old Stars, or what experiences they had had before becoming Five Old Stars!

A strange feeling rose in Lorne's heart.

"But according to the information we have, hundreds of years ago, there was no such thing as the Five Old Stars, and at that time, those who ruled the world government were four people, and further back, there were three people, and two people. And at some point, the number suddenly increased, and this person merged with the original four, and was called the Five Old Stars. The term Five Old Stars has also been passed down, and every ruler of the world government has been called Five Old Stars."

Szabo continued.

"It would have been a common thing, as the Five Old Stars is nothing more than a title."

Saber paused, then looked Lorne in the eye.

"However, the Dragon Chief discovered something by chance. That is, some of the Five Old Stars who now rule the world government bear an uncanny resemblance to the four who ruled the world government hundreds of years ago, in terms of physical description."

Since the Five Old Stars never left pictures, images, Dragon was only able to deduce their looks through written descriptions, and then Dragon was surprised to find that some of the current Five Old Stars were very similar to those who ruled hundreds of years ago.

"So, we have a bold guess that perhaps the rulers of the world government, who have not changed since the beginning, have been the same group of people since hundreds of years ago."

"They've survived to this day by some unknown means. And after certain conditions are met, a new group of people will join them."

Saber's words gave Lorne a creepy feeling.

Could it be that the five old stars were all ghosts that had lived for centuries.

No past identities, not even names, but mere codenames, powers so powerful that they were breathtakingly strong, the pinnacle of power that ruled the world government.

Who they, exactly, were.

Lorne couldn't guess at the moment, but a strange feeling was rising in Lorne's mind.

He remembered something.

The woman above Marijoa was the first person to have her eternal life surgery performed by the surgical fruit, but was she the only one in the world who had been performed the eternal life surgery?

Lorne didn't believe that it wasn't once or twice in this long history that the fruits of surgery had been obtained by the world's government, and surely the woman above Marijoa wasn't the only one who had been performed the eternal surgery!

Those five old stars may have survived to this day using this method as well.
