Just when everyone was caught off guard, the naval officer wearing a dog's head appeared above Luffy and delivered a swift punch.
"Are you still sleeping, Luffy?!"
......
"Huh?! You mean Commodore Specter wants to arrest us?" Nami was stunned, then lowered her head in shame.
You must be disappointed, Aunt Bellemere, Sister Specter Shark. The people you saved have become pirates.
However, my wish is to draw a world map, and Luffy rescued me from the Buggy Pirates...
"Specter Shark!" Sanji, fully revived, excitedly danced, clutching a stack of records he had treasured for a long time (obtained through robbery). "Is the world's most beautiful woman also paying attention to us?"
In a daze, he seemed to see a ghost shark wearing a leather jacket, pulling out a thin whip and beating him from above.
Sanji chuckled.
"The world's most beautiful woman?" Chopper curiously stepped on Sanji's body, glanced at the little shark on the record, and kept praising its beauty.
"Yes, her performance at the singing competition saved many people. What a kind and beautiful woman she is!"
"Ha, you all know this wicked woman?" Luffy glanced at the posters Sanji had collected, and the shadow of the Iron Fist immediately loomed over his mind.
Seeing her face, the bump that the woman had given Luffy started to ache faintly.
"Bad woman?" Three murderous gazes pierced Luffy.
"You're not allowed to insult that person." Nami gritted her teeth and pulled out her Clima-Tact from her four-dimensional pocket.
"That's it, how dare you insult Specter-chan?" Sanji lit a cigarette, put his hands in his pockets, and his calves burst into flames.
"Luffy, scum, rubbish." Robin said calmly, closing her eyes and crossing her arms.
At this moment, the Straw Hat Pirates engaged in a full-blown brawl.
Chapter 164 The Era of Gradual Uprising
"Well, since you all know each other, that makes things easier." Garp pounded the wooden board and laughed heartily. "Go get stronger and try your best to escape from her."
“That’s right, Luffy-san.” Coby adjusted his glasses and said worriedly, “Because of what happened between you, Vice Admiral Garp and Commodore Specter’s relationship has become quite bad.”
"Try to survive, Straw Hat Boy." Helmeppo, with his chin sticking out of his butt, said coolly, wearing a pair of futuristic sunglasses.
Five years ago, Specter could easily defeat Jack the Disaster. After five years of training day in and day out, who knows how strong she is now?
The Straw Hat crew did not heed the advice of the three men. Luffy was a natural entertainer, Sanji would never go against a woman, and Zoro was simply ignorant and fearless.
In his opinion, no matter how strong Ghost Shark is, it's at most at the level of Hawkeye.
Practice your swordsmanship more, and you'll be able to defeat her sooner or later.
Despite not accepting the concept of domineering and the matter of Sabaody Archipelago, the main force is still quite confident.
Meanwhile, the lower-ranking marines, influenced by Specter Shark's righteous speech, watched their officers getting along intimately with the pirates, their expressions becoming complicated.
The brief reminiscing quickly came to an end, and the Straw Hat crew continued their adventure, while Garp, in front of Kuzan, the special supervisor from headquarters, made a rather elaborate arrest.
The result was obvious: the Sunny fired its breech-loading cannon and successfully escaped the navy's pursuit.
One day after the Straw Hat Pirates left Water 7, a battle broke out on Banaro Island.
"It's impossible for me to become..."
On a rooftop by the harbor, a man with black hair parted in the middle and freckles covering his cheeks was still speaking.
boom!
The bullet shot out of the barrel and went straight through his body, with sparks of fire splashing onto his skin.
"Your companion..."
An orange cowboy hat obscured Ace's eyes. He tugged at the brim and made a gun gesture with his hands...
"What a pity, Ace..."
Blackbeard Marshall Teach grinned maliciously, his fists clenched, and thick darkness shot up into the sky from behind him.
"Die in the darkness!"
The winds and clouds changed color at that moment!
An extremely oppressive darkness enveloped the heavens and the earth, plunging the entire world into darkness. A few muffled claps of thunder could be faintly heard from above, creating an atmosphere reminiscent of the apocalypse.
"Dark acupoint!"
The figure standing in the dark storm had his robes fluttering wildly. He suddenly waved his hand and laughed arrogantly.
"Great Flame Ring..."
Ace crouched down, hugged his arms tightly, and roared. Rings of flame suddenly appeared under his feet, then spread rapidly like ripples.
"Fire Emperor!"
The world of fire and the world of darkness are vying for this island, locked in a stalemate.
"Hahaha, whether the sun shines or the darkness remains, only one person will stand until the end." Blackbeard's face was contorted with rage as he laughed maniacally.
Flame and darkness collided violently, shaking the entire island.
"Who can save us?"
"Why? You've already plundered the town, why aren't you satisfied?"
The island's inhabitants stood frozen in place, their faces ashen, screaming in despair.
In the overwhelming gloom, ordinary people can never escape.
In this vast ocean, the strong can destroy the heavens and the earth, while the weak can only sit and wait for their doom.
In the end, all sounds vanished into nothingness.
The fuse of an era of riots has been lit.
......
At this time, the Navy Headquarters had not yet received any news of a battle between the two sides.
The island was completely reduced to wasteland during their battle; all the civilians perished, and the news didn't spread quickly enough.
The rigorous training of the Deep Sea Fleet has become a beautiful sight in the headquarters.
Physical fitness far exceeds that of ordinary people
The training that Navy deep-sea crew members undergo is completely inhuman.
Some people have asked Specter about the purpose of this arduous training, and the girl's answer was quite vague:
"The prophet of Fishman Island foresaw a major war that would take place in the Navy in the future. I am doing this simply to prepare for war in advance."
In short, it's impossible for her to reveal the Marineford War beforehand, let alone prevent it.
It is only natural for the navy to eliminate pirates.
Not to mention that some of the plans made by headquarters were very successful: encirclement walls, betrayal by traitors, humanoid weapons... Why stop the opportunity to wipe them all out?
The only downsides are a few lazy bums and a deserter, but Specter Shark has a plan in mind.
Fishman Island prophet?
Many people who heard about this were quite interested.
However, Fishman Island was not garrisoned, so the veracity of the prophecy could not be confirmed. Moreover, according to Ghost Shark, it was actually a prophecy made by the prophet when he was 4 years old, which left everyone both amused and bewildered.
The Navy has taken science theory classes.
There are three elements that contribute to the formation of superstition: confirmation bias, indiscriminate acceptance of obedience, and the Barnum effect.
Such vague and general predictions are clearly the work of a fraud.
However, inspired by the Deep Sea Fleet, many officers and soldiers followed suit and called on their subordinates to do extra training.
Whether it's true or false doesn't matter, but this kind of effort will get noticed by the higher-ups.
Moreover, even if it's not for promotion, isn't it an honor to train with the Deep Sea Fleet?
Gradually, the number of naval personnel training on the drill ground increased day by day.
In addition, Ghost Shark also contacted his subordinates on Crescent Island, ordering them to undergo rigorous training. They needed to get moving there too, and they might get called up.
Nighttime, Marineford, in Ghost Shark's apartment.
The Navy mailroom delivered an email today, and upon checking the signature, it was once again the mysterious Mr. 'Lost'.
This is Father Andorn's signature. During the six years he was sent down to Crescent Island, he wrote similar letters almost every year without interruption.
With a gentle scratch of its blue nails, the ghost shark tore open the seal and took out the letter.
"To Laurentina, this is what I saw and heard in the Kingdom of Bress in the South Sea..."
Every few months, Andorn would travel to various kingdoms to see for himself the nobles and commoners of these countries. Because of his religious identity, his journeys were quite smooth.
"I've noticed that the noble lords go to great lengths to instill the idea in the common people that the wealth of the nobility is the wealth of the nation. Even the emaciated patriots in the slums, when they think of the nation's wealth, will involuntarily straighten their chests..."
"I think this is... a tragedy..."
It's short, less than five hundred words.
But between the lines, there is a deep sense of pity and sorrow for the poor.
Ghost Shark put down the letter and temporarily placed it in the drawer.
There are so many injustices in the world, let's be down-to-earth and make changes little by little.
At almost the same time, the global landscape was also undergoing dramatic changes.
The South China Sea Revolutionary Army is developing rapidly and has successfully defeated the army of the Kingdom of Santa Lucia.
The World Government seems to be powerless and furious. The Navy is the counterpart to the pirates, while CP is the main force directly confronting the Revolutionary Army. However, CP is helpless against an organized army.
More than ten days later, Blackbeard finally handed Ace over to the World Government and began to prepare for the next plan.
Chapter 165 Emergency Operations Meeting
The World Government took in Ace, but did not make it public.
Even with Blackbeard's application to become a Shichibukai, the World Government stated that it would take several days for the process to be completed.
"Boom boom boom..."
A phone call went from Mary Geoise to Sengoku's office.
“Blackbeard has given us a tough problem.” Sengoku said gravely, turning to look at the strategist Tsuru on the sofa. “Once this news is announced, given Whitebeard’s personality, war will be inevitable.”
“What’s meant to happen can’t be avoided.” Crane habitually rested his chin on his hand and smiled. “In fact, you yourself are probably looking forward to this war.”
"Hahahaha." Sengoku laughed upon hearing this. "Indeed, this battle is well-prepared. I can retire peacefully like the Air Force Commander."
Kong, a former naval admiral, held steady command of the navy for many years before finally retiring smoothly by executing Roger.
However, some minor setbacks occurred along the way.
For example, Roger's death ushered in the Great Pirate Era, and not long after, Shiki the Golden Lion launched a surprise attack on Marine Headquarters...
"Xiao He, I'm entrusting the planning of this war to you."
The Warring States period made a sincere request, but the thought of retirement still made him feel excited, as if he had become much younger.
"Stepping down at this time is indeed a good choice."
The crane lowered its head in thought, and finally nodded.
"First, summon the officers of headquarters to discuss the battle plan." The naval strategist's mind quickly got to work, arranging everything in an orderly manner. "Of course, we should also summon the Seven Warlords of the Sea in advance. It's time for these naughty kids to play their part."
Sengoku nodded; Tsuru's line of thinking was correct. He stroked the lamb, closed his eyes in deep thought, and murmured:
“These Shichibukai are too arrogant, and some of them even have connections with the Four Emperors. We absolutely cannot tell them the reason for the gathering now.”
Sengoku tapped his fingers on the wooden table and looked up out the window. "Unless the Navy has already taken over the Seven Warlords of the Sea, this news must not be leaked before we reach Mary Geoise."
He smiled, beckoned to her subordinate, and instructed her to inform all officers in headquarters...
At the training ground, the deep-sea fleet led by Specter Shark is still undergoing arduous training.
Garp, under the guise of training his apprentices, stayed at headquarters for another two weeks, determined not to return.
G3 branch.
All the branches in the new world are the same: small islands completely armed by military bases, where you eat and live, which is extremely boring.
