One Piece: Starting with the enslavement of Wano Country!

Page 146

"Okay!" the other four stars chimed in.

Seeing that everyone agreed, Satan picked up the Den Den Mushi and called Admiral Sora.

A moment later, the call ended.

The Navy is merely a subordinate agency of the World Government; it simply needs to relay orders and doesn't require consultation like other agencies do.

The five elders continued their casual conversation.

"Among this year's One Piece Supernovas, are there any you particularly optimistic about?"

"I think both Crocodile and Gecko Moria are pretty good newcomers."

"I also think that Crocodile has the Sand-Sand Fruit, a Logia-type Devil Fruit."

"The Logia type is invincible in the first half of the Grand Line and the four seas, but that may not be the case in the New World."

"Whatever, so what if we lose!"

"By the way, have those two not entered the new world yet?"

Naval Headquarters, Marinevando.

In the Admiral's office, Sora put down the Den Den Mushi he was holding.

Kong suddenly laughed and muttered to himself, "Interesting, really interesting."

First, they created the "Seven Warlords of the Sea," allowing pirates to legally plunder, while the Navy was not allowed to take action against them.

Now, the Navy is again refraining from ruthlessly eliminating the supernovae, instead sending them to the New World for a chaotic free-for-all.

However, this is beneficial to the navy, as it can save a lot of manpower and casualties.

Kong waved his hand, signaling a marine to inform the naval officers present to go to the conference room for a meeting.

A short while later, the marine returned and reported that everything was ready.

Kong rubbed his temples, sighed softly, and then got up and walked towards the conference room.

Inside the meeting room, Kong sat in the main seat, with General Sengoku and Chief Strategist Tsuru on his left and right sides respectively.

Sora glanced at the assembled generals and slowly began, "Gentlemen, the World Government has issued a new order..."

After Kong repeated the Five Elders' orders, the conference room immediately erupted in discussion.

The Navy, the violent institution of the world government, has always had both hawks and doves, regardless of the era.

The hawkish generals shouted in dissatisfaction, "What the hell? They're not even killing those pirates!"

"That's right, what navy doesn't kill pirates!"

"The more of a supernova they are, the more they should be killed. If they grow stronger, they will cause endless trouble!"

Kong, of course, understood this principle as well.

Take the Beasts Pirates for example. If he could turn back time, he would have spared no expense to wipe them out in the very early days of their formation.

But... this wasn't his intention; it was an order from the World Government!

Of course, this is his order now!

Seeing the hawks' impassioned reaction, Kong slammed his fist on the table in frustration and snapped, "Quiet!"

The conference room fell silent instantly.

Kong's sharp gaze swept over each of the hawkish generals, and he said in a deep voice, "This is an order! I'm not discussing this with you!"

The hawks lowered their heads helplessly and replied sullenly, "Yes!"

The same goes for Sakazuki.

However, that's not what he really thought.

Forget about supernovas; if he were to encounter one, he'd be dead for sure!

Borsalino stood with his arms crossed, looking languid and indifferent.

This was an order personally given by the Admiral of the Navy.

Kuzan remained silent, his expressionless face revealing nothing of his thoughts.

Sengoku observed the reactions of the three men.

It is extremely rare for a navy to be able to gather all three major natural systems at the same time.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, once I am promoted to Fleet Admiral, these three will become my admirals.

Seeing that no one else spoke, Kong announced, "Meeting adjourned!"

The Crocodile and Gecko Moria mentioned by the Five Elders had already passed Fishman Island and arrived in the New World.

Crocodile is nineteen years old this year, and Moria is twenty-three years old, both in the prime of their youth.

Before they were taught a lesson, these two were both incredibly arrogant and unruly.

Their goals were clear: first, to develop their power; then, to challenge the "Four Emperors" and become the new "Four Emperors"; and finally...

One Piece!!!

On deck, a crew member ran up to Moonlight Moria and asked, "Captain, where are we going next?"

Moria grinned, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth, and said with a smile, "Let's go grab some territory first."

Meanwhile, Crocodile gave his subordinates the same answer.

Jinbe sat on a rock, looking up as he watched all sorts of coated pirate ships arrive at Fishman Island and then head to the New World.

All the inhabitants of Fishman Island, whether fishmen or mermaids, yearn for the land.

Jinbe was no exception.

However, the humans on land were not friendly towards the fish-men.

Four-year-old Boa Hancock and her younger sister Boa Sandersonia, who is one year younger, stood on the shore, waving to welcome the return of the Kuja Pirates' ship.

When the news of Roger's death arrived, Gloria Osa looked at the photo of Roger's death in the newspaper and was struck as if by a heavy blow.

Although she knew that Roger was terminally ill and didn't have much time left, she simply couldn't accept that Roger had ended up like this.

Gloria was devastated by the blow and, overwhelmed with grief, fell ill and never recovered.

Life must go on.

During the time that Gloriosa was ill, it was the warriors who went out to sea by boat.

Watching the pirate ship return laden with its spoils and the dashing figures of the guardian warriors, Hancock gently nudged her sister beside her with her elbow and said with a longing expression:

"Sandsonia, when I grow up, I want to be a brave Amazon Lily warrior."

Sandasonia, who had admired her older sister since childhood, nodded vigorously like a chick pecking at rice: "Yes, yes, my sister will definitely become a brave Amazon Lily warrior!"

"Hehe." Hancock raised the corners of her mouth, revealing an innocent smile. "You too."

South China Sea, Kingdom of Sorbey.

After escaping from God Valley, Bartholomew Kuma returned to his hometown and chose to become a priest.

He is twenty years old this year.

The elderly people were lining up, waiting for the bear to treat them.

Big Bear always has a kind smile on his face, using the power of the Paw Paw Fruit to help the old man relieve his pain.

The Flesh-Flesh Fruit is an overpowered ability, capable of repelling everything, including fatigue, pain, and injury.

However, someone needs to bear the expelled substances, otherwise they will return to the original owner.

Big Bear would naturally not allow such a thing to happen.

After the old man left, the bear looked at the giant bear paw formed by the expelled red gas and reached in without hesitation.

In an instant, the various injuries and ailments that the elderly had accumulated over the years ravaged the bear's body.

Even with the robust physique of the Bakani tribe, the bear could not withstand so much damage in a short time.

The bear's body trembled incessantly, its clothes stained red with blood, and its eyes almost rolled back, yet it gritted its teeth and stubbornly persevered.

Looking at the bear covered in wounds, even though she had experienced it countless times over the years, Ginny still felt heartache and tears would stream down her face.

"You idiot," Ginny said, her eyes filled with tears, her voice a mix of sobs and laughter.

Humans are contradictory.

Ginny, Big Bear could be a little selfish and not give so much to others without complaint.

But it was because of Big Bear's kindness that she fell in love with this honest, simple-minded big guy.

Big Bear's face was covered in blood, but he still forced a smile and comforted her, "I'm fine, Ginny."

"You still say you're fine!"

"It's really okay."

In the days that followed, Ginny took great care of the injured bear.

The first half of the Grand Line.

Sixteen-year-old Mihawk walked alone, carrying a sword on his back and a newspaper in his hand.

Looking at the contents of the newspaper, he suddenly wanted to go to the new world too.

A frog in a well will never know how high the sky is or how big the sea is if it never jumps out of the well.

He wanted to see the gap between himself and the world!

Fourteen-year-old Doflamingo, leading his Donquixote Family, has just conquered another territory.

In the North Sea today, the Vinsmoke family is no longer there, and Tsuru has been transferred back to the Navy Headquarters.

Therefore, the Don Quixote family had no rivals here and thrived.

The towering flames illuminated Doflamingo's face, making him appear like a ruthless and merciless demon.

Before him, a large group of gang members were kneeling on the ground, begging for mercy with snot flying from their noses.

Doflamingo glanced at them coldly, a merciless smirk playing on his lips: "Furfurfurfur... Just kill them all, they're just a waste of rice to keep them alive."

“Leave it to me, Doflamingo.” Torrepol, with two sticky snot dripping from his nose, smiled and stepped forward, killing them one by one.

Doflamingo didn't watch Trebol execute these people; instead, he turned to look in the direction of the New World.

Chapter 218 Defeated!

Crocodile and Moria soon stirred up trouble in the New World.

Don't think these two are weak just because they were defeated by Luffy, who didn't even know Haki, more than 20 years later.

That's because their spirits have been dampened.

And now, they're incredibly fierce!

The World Government readily increased the bounties on Crocodile and Moria.

This works even better than giving pirates a shot of adrenaline.

Sure enough, Crocodile got a little cocky as his bounty kept increasing.

They believe that the so-called New World pirates are nothing but charlatans and fraudsters.

So he decided to challenge the strongest of the Four Emperors, Whitebeard, Edward Newgate!

A small island.

Crocodile spotted the Moby Dick docked on the shore from a distance.

Looking at the skull and crossbones flag fluttering in the wind, he knew he hadn't mistaken the person for someone else.

Crocodile smirked and commanded, "Move the ship alongside!"

On the island, Whitebeard, who was sitting around the campfire, suddenly narrowed his eyes and looked meaningfully at Crocodile and his crew approaching them from the shore.

Before long, Crocodile appeared before Whitebeard with his men.

Crocodile was seen with his hair slicked back, wearing a well-fitting suit, a mink cloak, and his hands adorned with jeweled rings. He also had a cigar in his mouth, looking like a nouveau riche.

Crocodile grinned arrogantly and said, "Yo, the Whitebeard Pirates."
