Chapter 104: Uranus Quest Plan

New World, Grass Island.

Grass Island was an island close to the Fortis Kingdom. The island itself lives up to its name. This island has very long grass and also very much. Almost all areas of the island have grass growing and only a few trees grow on the island. The grass on this island itself has its own characteristics because the height of the grass is about 1.5 to 2 meters.

Hashirama and Rayleigh in just a few minutes of traveling finally arrived at the Grass Island. Rayleigh is currently slowly mastering his flying ability and that is something that is very amazing for Rayleigh. When the two of them arrived at Grass Island, the two of them started picking up a huge amount of grass.

Even though Rayleigh didn't get the assignment. However, Rayleigh also did not want to just watch and preferred to join the work so that the work could be completed quickly. In just 15 minutes of work, the two of them had managed to collect grass that filled 3 storage capsules. Hashirama currently has 7 storage capsules to use to store the grass.

Then when there was a news bird stopped on the island. Hashirama immediately bought the newspaper the newsbird had brought and read it. Hashirama's face immediately showed a surprised expression as he read the first page of the newspaper.

"Has something big happened?" Rayleigh asked while frowning.

"The Dressrosa Kingdom has been destroyed by the World Government" Hashirama answered immediately.

"What?!"

"According to the information in this newspaper, the Kingdom of Dressrosa has developed a very lethal weapon and it is known by the World Government. In anticipation of this, the World Government used one of the ancient weapons to destroy the Dressrosa Kingdom for security reasons" Hashirama said seriously.

"Deadly weapon? Ancient Weapons?" Rayleigh showed a collapsed expression and immediately walked towards Hashirama, "Were any pictures taken at the time of the incident?"

"There is" Hashirama nodded and immediately handed the newspaper to Rayleigh, "You can see it"

Rayleigh immediately took the newspaper and looked at the picture on the front panel. Rayleigh's face immediately showed a serious look and said, "This is Uranus"

"Did you know that?" Hashirama asked with great interest.

"I know it" Rayleigh nodded, "During my trip with Roger's pirate group. We already know the location of the two ancient weapons. Pluton and Posaidon. Only Uranus we don't know the location of" Rayleigh paused and continued, "We already suspected that Uranus' ancient weapon belonged to the World Government… I didn't expect our thinking to actually be the truth"

Rayleigh paused and continued, "The possibility of the World Government destroying the Dressrosa Kingdom is not due to the deadly weapons developed by the Dressrosa Kingdom. The reason they destroyed the Dressrosa Kingdom was because they knew of the actions taken by Doflamingo who wanted to establish a cooperative relationship with us. Besides, the reason behind this destruction of the Dressrosa Kingdom is also just a diversion"

"Switching issue?" Hashirama asked while raising his brow.

"The name of the current World Government has been destroyed several times by us. This year is the year that Raveri or World Government alliances meeting takes place. The World Government probably doesn't want their name to be destroyed even more if the world's people especially the kingdoms that have alliances with them find out that there are kingdoms that have alliances with them come out and join our empire's alliance." Rayleigh paused again and continued, "Besides, the World Government also wanted to claim ownership of the ancient weapon. They had devised a scenario where the Dressrosa Kingdom was a villain while they were a hero. With this reason, the world community especially those from various kingdoms will not question the reason behind the possession of these weapons and this can also increase the percentage of those who have previously been destroyed by us."

"The World Government…" Hashirama muttered seriously, "With the destruction of the Dressrosa Kingdom… That means Doflamingo has died which causes the current Shichibukai seat to be filled with only five people… With the void of the two major powers left by Hancock and Doflamingo… the Shichibukai are no longer powers. major in this world."

"That's it" Rayleigh nodded, "The World Government has always never meddled in power matters. They just leave it to the Navy to be their face. However, now with them showing the possession of these ancient weapons along with the support from the kingdoms that are in their alliance. They have entered into power grabs" Rayleigh paused and continued, "The world today does not recognize 3 major powers anymore but 4 major powers… The Kingdom— No, the Octagon, the World Government and its allies… The Emperor of the Ocean… And finally the Navy"

"The world has become more chaotic than before" Hashirama said with a sigh.

"It's still not too chaotic, Hashirama" Rayleigh said seriously, "If information about the three types of ancient swords spread all over the world. Of course, the world would be even more chaotic than it is now. It is possible that parties joining the World Government alliance will conduct searches related to those weapons. You must know that a king will certainly not submit to anyone, especially for kings who submit to a power. They will definitely do whatever it takes to get what they want even if they have to sacrifice anything."

"That is a truly disgusting king" Hashirama said with an ugly face, "I hate such a king the most"

"Even they are not willing to be said to be equal. If not for the powerful power wielded by the World Government. The World Government would definitely not be able to control the current kingdoms. This also happened before. Due to the appearance of our kingdom and the attacks made by our kingdom on the World Government side. The previous World Government's power was shaken. There are many kingdoms who want to try to carry out a rebellion by trying to protest related to the policies of the World Government especially regarding the taxation that is given too high. They tried to rebel because they thought they could do it just as our kingdom was able to easily attack the World Government." Rayleigh paused, "However, I believe that at this time all the kingdoms that are planning or already carrying out rebellions will finally keep their mouths shut. from now on especially at the time of knowing the possession of ancient weapons by the World Government. They won't dare to put up any more resistance."

"A tyrannical government" Hashirama muttered under his breath.

"Will our kingdom take action?" Rayleigh asked with interest.

Hashirama sighed then shook his head "It's impossible for our kingdom to take action against this situation"

"Not? Why?" Rayleigh asked again.

"The Dressrosa Kingdom has not yet fully cooperated with us. They have not signed a cooperation relationship yet. The Dressrosa Kingdom has also yet to reconnect with His Majesty regarding the completion of the 5 orders given by him earlier. His Majesty will definitely not take action even if he once said he would protect the Dressrosa Kingdom. The intention of protecting what His Majesty said was not to retaliate but, if there was a small attack in the Dressrosa Kingdom such as the attack of the Sea Emperors or the Marines. We will help. However, if in the case of destruction like this. It is impossible for us to move"

Rayleigh thought for a moment and felt that this reasoning was a logical reason and asked again, "What if the case that happened to the Dressrosa Kingdom happened to the Prodance Kingdom or a kingdom that has fully established cooperative relations with our kingdom."

"There's no need to ask anymore" Hashirama shook his head, "If the World Government really destroys the Prodance Kingdom, Amazon Lily Kingdom, or Ryugu Kingdom as it was with the Dressrosa Kingdom. We will not remain silent. We will retaliate against them and even destroy everything that belongs to the World Government. His Majesty will definitely not remain silent if the kingdom that is establishing a cooperative relationship with our kingdom is touched by a party. That party will be completely destroyed by His Majesty down to the roots."

"I see." Rayleigh nodded.

"You just keep gathering grass, Rayleigh. I will report this news to His Majesty." Hashirama said calmly, "Though I believe His Majesty already knows. However, I'd better report it too."

Rayleigh nodded and immediately resumed the work he was currently doing.

Hashirama went to find a place to sit then took out his den-den mushi and immediately contacted Ars.

It didn't take long for the communication to connect with each other.

"Hello, Ars here"

"It's me, Ars, Hashirama"

"What is it, Hashirama? Do you also want to share news about the Dressrosa Kingdom?" Ars asked calmly.

"You already know it?" Hashirama asked calmly without any surprise at all.

"Already. Hancock and Elizabello II told me about this" Ars nodded, "I didn't expect that the World Government actually had ancient weapons on their side" Ars said in a deep voice.

"Ars, you have to be careful from now on" Hashirama said seriously, "At least before Urek comes to the kingdom. You are not allowed to leave the kingdom. Because, if the World Government finds out that you have left our kingdom. They will definitely do a full blow on you. They will definitely not hesitate to kill you using their ancient weapons."

"Yes. I know about it" Ars nodded and continued, "Hashirama, I want you to send your clones to trace the whereabouts of the ancient weapon of Uranus."

"Tracking?" Hashirama asked in confusion.

"Yes. The weapon itself is likely to be stored in the Red Line. The Red Line is a very large continent. Of course, Uranus' Ancient Weapon with a very large size must have been placed somewhere in the Red Line. You do a search there using your clone. Once found, you can ask your clone to send us the whereabouts of the weapon."

"Are we going to seize that weapon from the World Government side?" Hashirama asked again.

"No" Ars shook his head, "Compared to snatch. We will destroy that weapon. It would be very dangerous if the weapon was in the hands of the World government. We'd better destroy it immediately."

"If that's the case, why don't you ask Elie for the specific location of the weapon? That way, it will be faster to find him."

"That weapon's whereabouts information is worth 10 million points" Ars said calmly, "Although I currently have enough points to buy that information. However, my points are currently being collected to bring in some higher-ups especially those in the battle division. I don't want to use these points just to buy the location of Uranus' ancient weapon which is probably located on the Red Line."

"I see" Hashirama nodded, "Fine. I will do it"

"By the way, have the rest of our friends heard of the news of the destruction of the Dressrosa Kingdom?" Hahsirama asked again.

"They don't know it yet" Ars shook his head, "Only Rin knows about this news since she is currently with me— Oh, I don't think so, Rin has already contacted Iowa and it is likely that this information will be spread to these friends soon"

"That's a good thing" Hashirama nodded, "At least our friends should know about this information because it's related to our cooperation plan"

"Yes. I also didn't forbid Rin to tell him." Ars nodded and continued, "Well then, that's it. I will continue my work to do a site inspection. You complete your task of gathering grass and meet Ikumi at the cowshed to ask about the placement of the grass. Don't forget to also send your clones to track the location of Uranus' ancient weapons in the Red Line area."

"I understand." Hashirama nodded.

The communication line was immediately closed, Hashirama immediately formed a clone of his and said, "You already know the task you are going to do, don't you?"

"Yes, Boss." The clone nodded seriously.

"Then go do a good job. Don't let the World government know of your whereabouts when you're on the Red Line. It will cause us a loss."

"I see." The clone immediately left the place by flying.

Rayleigh who was there saw Hashirama use his ability. Rayleigh immediately walked up to Hashirama and asked, "A new assignment?"

"Yes" Hashirama nodded, "His Majesty asked me to trace the location of Uranus' ancient weapon"

"Tracking? Does His Majesty not know about the specific location?" Rayleogh asked again.

"No" Hashirama shook his head, "However, Your Majesty only has the thought that the ancient weapon of Uranus is stored in the Red Line territory"

"Red Line Territory…" Rayleigh muttered, "This might happen" Rayleigh nodded, "The Red Line area itself is huge and also the size of Uranus' ancient weapon is huge. Other than the Red Line, there is no more suitable place to store that weapon."

Rayleigh paused and continued, "What will His Majesty do if he finds the location of the weapon?"

"Destroyed"

"Destroyed?" Rayleigh was quite surprised to hear this.

"Your Majesty thinks that this weapon is untenable in this world especially if the World Government holds the weapon. His Majesty wants to destroy the weapon the moment it is found" Hashirama said seriously.

"Destroyed…" Rayleigh mumbled then sighed, "That's a good choice. With the existence of that weapon, there are many people who will get terror. Many parties will certainly never feel safe as long as the weapon is in the hands of the World Government, especially for those who know how cruel the World Government is."

"That's how it is" Hashirama nodded and said, "Let's continue our work. I have to finish this job because there is another job waiting."

"Another job?" Rayleigh asked while raising his eyebrows.

"I need to cut down trees in the area where the Department of Population is building and also have to arrange a meeting with the Whitebeard pirate group"

"Ah, regarding the cooking match that Jouichirou wanted? Hey, can I come with you?" Rayleigh smirked, "I haven't seen Newgate in a long time. Also, I want to show him my new skill."

"Hahahaha… That's really interesting. I'm also interested to see the face Whitebeard will show" Hashirama laughed smugly, "Let's finish this job soon"

Rayleigh nodded and the two men began to gather grass faster than before.
