Sleeping in the Ancient Town
Two days ago.
New world, sea of oblivion.
This is a mysterious sea area shrouded in darkness and fog all year round.
Every year, ships from all over the New World stray into this sea and disappear into the boundless depths of mist.
The fog in this sea area is very strange.
The ever-unfavorable recording pointer, once it enters the range covered by fog, will rotate randomly in an orderly manner, making it impossible to point out the accurate channel position.
The navigation knowledge learned by navigators is of no use here.
Even powerful pirates with powerful knowledge and Haki would be confused in this sea of mist.
Because this mysterious and strange mist can significantly weaken Haki’s perception range.
No one knows that deep in the foggy Sea of Forgotten, there is an island town forgotten by the world.
Its name is Sleeping Ancient Town.
The island where Sleeping Ancient Town is located is not small, with a length and breadth of more than ten kilometers. It is much larger than many small countries in the New World.
The island is called Forgotten Island.
Because it has been uninhabited all year round, Forgotten Island has been completely covered by primitive jungle.
The island is filled with ferocious beasts, poisonous insects, and man-eating plants.
In the center of Forgotten Island, there is a large stretch of ancient buildings.
These gray-black buildings are now covered with plants of various colors.
The once lively town has become empty and dead.
Apart from the roar of some unknown insect beasts, no other sounds could be heard.
at this time.
Among these mottled old buildings, there are streets covered with moss.
An old man wearing a black and red cloak, a black top hat, an aristocratic dress, and meticulously combed silver hair was strolling here holding a round umbrella more than one meter long. In the deep alley.
There was silence.
There was only the sound of the old man’s footsteps stepping on the ground.
This old man was the Red Earl, Barory Clydefield, who was released by Barrett from the sea-tower stone handcuffs in the city.
Ryder was walking alone in this deserted and abandoned ancient town. Not only did he not feel emptiness, loneliness or fear.
The opposite of.
There was a peaceful smile on his old face with chicken skin and white hair.
“Oh, this ancient town is really a good place for seclusion.”
Ryder couldn’t help but sigh as he looked at the ancient buildings around him that looked like ancient castles.
His domineering power of knowledge, knowledge, and color has reached its peak, and he is the only one in the world who can directly see through people’s hearts.
This is something to be proud of.
But Ryder was deeply troubled by it.
He can easily see through the heart of everyone he comes into contact with in the new world.
Those strong men who were warmly complimentary and friendly to him on the surface.
But in his heart, he was wary, jealous, and fearful of him.
Some people seem to be philanthropic and a great philanthropist.
But he is dark and cunning at heart, doing some shameful things in private.
Even for a majestic man like Whitebeard.
When meeting him, he laughed and expressed welcome on the surface.
In fact, he is always wary of Ryder, fearing that Ryder will harm his family.
most of the time.
Ryder himself knew it very well.
Those fears and precautions are not deliberately directed at oneself.
Rather, he is wary of the strong.
After all, with his ability as the strongest lone ranger in the new world, no matter where he goes, he will be feared and guarded against.
But if it continued like this, for decades, Ryder could no longer get along with others peacefully.

The ability to see through other people’s secrets did not bring him any benefit, but made him more withdrawn and lonely.
Ryder had almost forgotten why he went to sea in the first place.
It seemed to be an afternoon when the sun was setting and dusk filled the horizon.
He was alone, living on the beach as a down-and-out nobleman.
In that harbor where the sunset was lingering, Ryder saw a pirate ship.
That’s a very interesting pirate ship.
The pirates on the ship are not brutal murderous thugs.
It is a group of men, women and children who are good at various musical instruments and like music.
Those people anchored the pirate ship in the port, set up their musical instruments on the beach, and started playing various songs.
People who had been busy all day were attracted by their music and gathered here.
Ryder, is no exception.
In the crowd, he saw a very eye-catching musician with an afro.
The other person is thin and tall.
Holding the violin in his hand, he was playing a beautiful tune cheerfully.
It’s a song that’s familiar to people all over the world.
Binx’s wine.
Ryder stopped in the crowd and listened quietly to the performance of these pirates.
Until the sun sets and night falls.
Everyone around him left, leaving him alone, still listening on the beach.
What touched Ryder was very much.
The pirates in front of him actually played music for a long, long time just for him.
The captain and vice-captain of the pirate group were very happy, came up to shake hands with him, and invited him to come on board for a chat.
Only then did Ryder know the name of this pirate group.
The Rumba Pirates.
Also know the name of the musician with the striking afro.
Brooke.
It was precisely because of that encounter with the Lombard Pirates that Ryder was full of curiosity and expectations about the sea and the world of pirates.
So, he went to sea and became a pirate.
At the beginning, Ryder also wanted to gather a group of companions, like the Lombard Pirates, to sail around the world for his dream.
But gradually, the dark true face of this world began to unfold before his eyes.
Along the way, Ryder experienced betrayal, fighting, killing, failure, and pain.
Until he became one of the top few powerful men in the new world, and even the entire world.
He no longer has these troubles.
But at this time, Ryder also had no friends to talk to.
Loneliness, isolation, and loneliness have become his frequent visitors.
He became the aloof Red, the lonely and proud Red Earl.
Ryder is alone, wandering around in the sea of the new world, with no fixed place, like a duckweed in the rain.
One day, he suddenly remembered the pirate group that played music.
Ryder recalled the initial emotion.
His heart was filled with excitement, and he began to search for traces of the Lumba Pirates in the new world.
However, the Lumba Pirates seemed to have disappeared, and no matter how hard he looked, there was no news.
For this reason, Ryder even returned to the Grand Line and even traveled to the four seas, just to find the slightest thrill when he first set out to sea.
But…
Ryder was disappointed.
The Lumba Pirates disappeared, and there is no news about them in this world.
On the dim street, Ryder stood quietly, a hint of loneliness flashed in his eyes.
“It’s really scary, this dead atmosphere.”
On the top of a black building, a tall, thin and obscene figure appeared at some point, standing straight on the spikes of the roof, looking this way.
“Finally found you, Red Earl.”
