"That's right!" He opened his bewildered eyes, then clapped his hands in sudden realization, "There really is such a super-fast method!"
Ghost Shark lowered his head speechlessly, unable to resist rubbing his forehead.
So, if I don't mention it, I'm bound to get a beating, right?
“Not yet, their physical fitness isn’t good enough.” Garp laughed heartily, leading Specter to a nearby mountain island. “But your fitness is more than enough, hahaha.”
To master Armament Haki flow, you still need to hone your skills by hitting a mountain...
After the Deep Sea Fleet's training ended, even Ain and Alice were severely punished by their G3 superiors.
Especially in the match between Ain and Bogart, it was a one-sided clash between two great sword masters.
"Hey! What's going on there? Why is Ghost Shark practicing boxing?" Alice asked, somewhat surprised.
The two of them came over solely to deliver food to Garp and Specter.
But what they saw now was Laurentina's circular saw resting on the rocks, while she herself stood before the mountain, constantly throwing punches.
"Advanced Armament Haki".
Karp dragged a large bison out of the woods and skillfully set up a homemade grill.
Is this advanced Armament Haki? Ain could see that Specter Shark's fist was wrapped in Haki, but her fist was two meters away from the mountain, so it was just a simple Haki punch?
"Ah, she's going to gather her Armament Haki into one point and then release it outwards."
Karp pulled out some seasoning from his coat, sprinkled it on with relish, and casually replied.
"Absolute focus, strong consciousness, and a robust physique are all indispensable."
Ghost Shark's domineering aura can be successfully unleashed, but even when it is used occasionally, its power is not ideal.
She always thought that Garp's hammering of the mountain was just a simple application of Armament Haki, but she didn't expect that he was practicing internal destruction using Armament Haki.
If you want to achieve this, training in domineering power and internal destruction is essential.
Those bastards who roam the seas, like Barrett who trained in physical combat for decades in prison, and Luffy who ate a god-level Devil Fruit who trained for two years.
Even if Ghost Shark considers himself exceptionally talented, this will still be a long and arduous journey of training.
To crush the Four Emperors of the New World, a wealth of accumulated Haki is essential.
However, Specter acknowledges Garp's teaching ability, at least slightly better than Ray the lectern who lays the foundation.
Five years have passed in the blink of an eye.
In the first year, the G3 squadron left, and the Deep Sea Fleet began its self-cultivation, while everything on Crescent Moon Island remained peaceful. The true culprit was eliminated from Fishman Island, and relations between Fishmen and humans began to ease.
second
In 1949, Corleone had completely taken over the West Blue territory, and Ghost Shark's spies were spread throughout the kingdoms of the West Blue, resulting in a sharp decrease in the number of pirates passing through Crescent Island.
Around the same time, the Spade Pirates appeared on the Grand Line.
It seems Crocus discovered something, after all, he was the Pirate King's doctor, and Ace was Roger's son.
Tsk, what a useless piece of trash!
In the third year, Ain and Alice came to Ghost Shark's side one after another to study the advanced techniques of Haki. At the same time, the shipbuilding industry in the West Sea developed rapidly, and submarine orders increased significantly.
It seems the pirates have found a way to evade the Navy's pursuit.
In the same year, the World Conference was held, and the Fish-Man Island, under Whitebeard's protection, did not attend due to their usual bickering.
In the fourth year, with most submarines mysteriously disappearing in the waters around Crescent Island, and survivors even hearing strange shark cries, the submarine industry rapidly shrank, and foreign ships emerged in its place.
Corleone reported that pirates were buying seastone through the underworld and installing it on the bottom of their ships to quickly cross the Calm Belt.
In the same year, due to the stability of the West Blue, the overall bounty for pirates dropped by one level, and the Deep Sea Fleet was commended by its headquarters and the World Government.
However, this period of prosperity was short-lived. Due to the booming development of the foreign shipping industry, the Deep Sea Fleet was stretched thin in its ability to combat the pirates. The West Blue pirates, who came from hell mode, crossed the Calm Belt and wreaked havoc in various member states.
The navy... lost its previous advantage of guarding the shipping lanes and waiting for prey to come to them, and the social order of the few remaining member states in the New World quickly collapsed.
Ultimately, the Navy issued an order requiring Crescent Moon Island to periodically relax law enforcement, allowing pirates to enter the Grand Line. Only after further crackdowns on the foreign shipping industry did the situation return to normal.
In the fifth year, Ghost Shark finished his training.
In the same year, the World Government finally agreed to recall Specter to headquarters, thus beginning the main storyline of the manga.

An island in the West Sea.
The circular saw on the central stone pier was lifted with one hand.
With a touch of the five fingers, the circular saw suddenly began to spin, like the roar of a ferocious beast.
The girl picked up the circular saw and swung it around in a rather unremarkable manner.
Then it was put back into the orca leather box and took flight.
The next moment, a muffled sound came from the isolated island, as if it had been plowed by a sea monster, splitting open from the middle, the forest disappeared, the wind and sand flew, and it was destroyed into primitive rocks.
The island has been neatly cut in two!
Round Moon Island, Lone Star Town.
After five years of hard work by the navy and the people, this place has become the most prosperous city in the West Sea.
Art, food, and flowers thrive here in an orderly fashion.
As you walk along the courtyard where violets are in full bloom, no matter which street or alley you're in, you can find your own corner where you can hear singers belting out songs and instruments playing melodiously.
All the romantic, beautiful, and exhilarating scenes jumped out of people's minds one after another, becoming tangible realities.
pat.
On the other side, echoing this beauty, is a girl who descended from the sky, earning everyone's praise and admiration.
After five years of training, she grew taller, reaching about 1.75 meters.
The places that are meant to develop are also developing well in the tiny gaps of time.
At this moment, she is twenty-two years old, having reached the pinnacle of beauty; any further ahead lies the edge of the world.
She fell from the sky, like a deity who had crossed that line and descended to earth.
She walked over, her shark earrings swaying in the wind beneath her hair.
The snow-white gauze skirt cascaded down her feet like a waterfall.
Passersby on the street were stunned, holding their breath and admiring the inviolable beauty from afar.
Over the course of those five years, Colonel Ghost Shark appeared on Crescent Island only a handful of times.
Who knows when we'll see each other again after this trip?
Specter entered the naval base, and Ain and the others immediately surrounded him.
"Give me a brief report on the major events at sea over the past few months." The young woman took the coffee that Liu Yedao had brewed, crossed her legs, and sat down in the office chair.
"Yes!" Ai Yin took out the materials she had prepared beforehand and read them aloud in great detail.
"First, Vice Admiral Garp was slashed in the East China Sea. The fugitive was former Navy 153rd Division Colonel Morgan. Afterwards, Garp formally took on two apprentices."
Second, Hawkeye pursued Bloody Mary from the Grand Line into the East Blue, and finally killed her at the Baratie restaurant.
III. King Wapol of Drum Kingdom was driven away by a group of pirates of unknown origin, and the new king is Dalton, the chief of the kingdom's guard...
Damn, the world lines aren't going to converge, are they?
Who is Bloody Mary?
The pirates of unknown origin look exactly like the Straw Hat crew, don't they?
Ghost Shark asked Ain with a puzzled look, but soon realized what was going on.
Bloody Mary is a swordswoman, but she is also a despicable person who slaughters civilians, and her infamy has spread far and wide in recent years.
It's not surprising that he was hunted down by Mihawk, who was upholding the way of the sword.
As for the Straw Hat crew, well, maybe...
Could it be the influence of my eliminating the dragon and the rat back then?
After all, the first 30 million bounty was put up by Rat, the top-ranked player.
Having roughly understood the situation, Ghost Shark frowned.
"Tsk, Crocus is such a piece of trash!"
"That's not quite right. That old man captures a shipload of pirates for the navy every month, and he seems to enjoy it immensely."
Ain glanced at Specter Shark and continued, "Besides, he promised us he would only capture those with bad tempers..."
The ghost shark was numb.
The targeted arrests are a given; it remains to be seen whether he can catch one of this year's supernovas.
"By the way, do you have any leads on that group of pirates of unknown origin?" Ghost Shark lowered his head, lost in thought, and then...
Remembering the plot.
"Yes, yes." Lancet also stepped forward, printing out a freshly printed document from his pocket.
"Captain Smoker abandoned his post in Loguetown for these pirates, saying they had Roger's shadow in them, but their strength seemed average, so the Navy assessment team only put a bounty of 1000 million Berries on them."
Ghost Shark accepted the bounty. The photo showed Luffy's classic smile after his beheading. Whether he lived or died, the bounty was ten million Berries.
"Oh, by the way, call Morgans, I need to talk to him."
Lancet nodded in agreement and quickly dialed the number.
"Moshi Moshi, this is Morgans. Colonel Specter, do you want to cooperate with us again?"
His last exclusive live stream made him a fortune, and he then seized the opportunity to invest in Lone Star Town, causing his net worth to soar.
"No, it's just a small matter. Have you released the bounty poster for Monkey D. Luffy yet?"
"Monkey D. Luffy?"
Morgans walked into the audit room and searched around before finally finding a low-level pirate's bounty poster. "Oh, you mean Straw Hat Boy? There isn't one yet."
“How about this, change his nickname to ‘Gluttonous Monkey’,” Ghost Shark said seriously, but a smile appeared on his lips.
Well...
Ain and Lancet fell silent.
Why wasn't such a 'big' matter reported to the Navy Headquarters?
Morgans was also stunned; he had never heard of such an absurd request.
But he was just a small-time pirate with a little over ten million in assets, so he readily agreed, "No problem, it's nothing, just a small matter. But Colonel Specter..."
Morgans rubbed his wings and said in a knowing tone, "There will be another singing competition next time. Please continue to cooperate with the news agency. The conditions here will definitely satisfy you."
“Okay.” Ghost Shark nodded with a smile.
This guy has clearly had a taste of success and wants to monopolize the benefits, but that's alright, since neither he nor the Empress will be participating in the competition anymore.
“Oh, right,” Specter Shark added, “I really hate this gang of pirates. Let’s give them nicknames like this…”
"For example, names like 'Greedy Witch,' 'Stupid Wayward Child,' 'Perverted Kappa,' and 'God Sniper King.'"
Those who are afraid to step forward will be given double, so that they will be unworthy of their title and restless day and night.
Those who crave fame will even take away everything they have!
After Morgans agreed, Specter hung up the phone.
Outside the window, Ghost Shark could see in the distance that a naval troop transport ship was entering Lone Star Bay.
"The personnel transferred from headquarters have arrived; we are ready to depart."
Ghost Shark led the way out of the office, bidding farewell to Muse, Haia, Tsukimi, and others, before boarding the Deepsea after a long absence.
The navy is a place where factions exist, even in the transfer of core support.
Lone Star Town was built from nothing to something, from desolation to prosperity, in the hands of Ghost Shark.
It is only natural that the next base commander can be Haiya, who was promoted so quickly.
Now that Ain and Alice have both reached the general level, Haiya has naturally made great progress in her five years of hard training. Coupled with the heavily armed artillery, they are more than capable of defending Crescent Moon Island.
Besides...
