When Ji Xing hid in the Devil's Triangle to create Devil Fruit, the sea was not calm.
The emergence of the new pirates represented by Luffy is only a small matter, but the big event is naturally the changes that occur around the discovery of the great secret treasure One Piece.
It has been 22 years since the execution of the Pirate King Gol D. Roger and the beginning of the Great Pirate Age. The pirates have already reduced their interest in going to sea due to the delay in finding the Pirate King's treasure. Some naysayers even claim that the Great Pirate Age has begun.
It's over, and now the big secret treasure has been found directly, which is even more remarkable.
According to incomplete statistics, the number of pirates who have gone to sea has dropped by more than 50% in the past six months, and many older generation pirates have retired. Even if Hawkeye and the cadres of the Holo Merchant Group become the third emperor of pirates, they will still be saved.
The Pirates' momentum declined.
Instead, the navy became increasingly powerful.
Although Admiral Akainu 'sacrificed', only two months later, with the help of the World Government, the Navy launched a global conscription!
No matter where you are, no matter what your status is, even if you have been a pirate, as long as you have not done anything too bad and you sincerely belong to the navy, you can participate in the World Recruitment.
After review, capable candidates will be selected.
Those who are strong enough can even directly ascend to the position of admiral!
With this world conscription, the navy and the world government have added a lot of troops in more than three months. There are naturally hidden dangers, but it has also pushed the already declining momentum of the pirates into an unprecedented downturn, affecting all aspects.
As of the end of the year 1520 in the Haiyuan calendar, the world's military conscription was almost coming to an end, and two monsters stood out from the screening and were likely to be directly awarded the rank of naval admiral.
One is blind and the other smiles.
One is a retard, Edward Weeble!
…
Bang——
The door to the marshal's office at the Navy Headquarters was knocked open, and a strong old man with blue hair and a broken right arm equipped with a huge iron arm crusher broke in.
Zeng Guo, who was sitting behind his desk, paused for a moment, looked up at the person coming, and said, "Long time no see, Zefa, is there something wrong with the recruit camp?"
Former Navy Admiral Zefa stared at Warring States, was silent for a few seconds, and said: "When I met Stoberg half a month ago, he looked like he wanted to say something but didn't say it, which made me a little strange. If I hadn't heard it accidentally
Say, Sengoku, are you going to hide that guy from me and become an admiral?!"
"Stolberry..." Warring States sighed softly: "Don't worry, Zefa. Things... are not the same as you imagined. We are just worried about your excitement, so we have been hiding it from you."
He stood up and said: "Edward Weibull will not really become an admiral of the navy, and no matter what, the navy will not accept a mentally retarded former pirate as an admiral. The world government means to use him as 'Whitebeard II',"
The propaganda of Whitebeard's son's identity is aimed at Whitebeard."
"So..." Zefa said: "The pirate who almost killed all my disciples and cut off one of my arms six years ago... can openly participate in the world conscription?! Under the gaze of the navy every day
Can you walk smoothly?!"
Warring States was silent and sighed again.
"Is that so? Are you in trouble too?" Zefa said with a deep expression: "I have heard about the real reason for Sakaski's sacrifice half a year ago. That child is the student who makes me most conflicted. I am very sad about this.
But in the end he failed to stand up.
Because I know that you have gone to the World Government several times for this, and even you, the navy marshal, have not been able to get any explanation. What can I, an old guy who retired long ago, do?
I didn’t expect that it would fall on me this time. Sometimes...the justice carried on my body really makes us breathless, Warring States Period!"
Warring States heard a different meaning, and his body immediately moved forward: "Zefa, don't be impulsive! Just wait and see for a while, maybe... there will be changes."
"variable?"
Warring States nodded.
Judging from the changes in the sea, there is really no need for the World Government to start a conflict with Whitebeard at this time, and there is no need to insult and anger Whitebeard with Whitebeard II.
He thought that one of the reasons was that the world government had lost trust in the current navy, especially Aokiji, and wanted to use the current navy's strong men to fight Whitebeard and reshuffle the sea.
Secondly...maybe there are some other changes in the world government? Or maybe it is worried about Holo?
As far as the Warring States Period is known, after Jolo's 'death', the World Government carried out careful fishing in that sea area, but did not find any residue. To say that Jolo's body was not found, the possibility is very low, at least the handle will be gone.
Li Wushuang, whose number of powerful swords has been increased to 13, should not be reduced to ashes.
Of course, there is also the possibility of being salvaged first, but judging from some of the performances of Hawkeye and others in the past six months, it is more likely that he is not dead.
Serious injury? Great loss of strength? There are various speculations. The world government must be in a hurry.
Seeing the current state of his old friend and fellow navy officer, Warring States could only close the door of his office and explain everything to Zefa in detail.
Zefa was silent for a long time.
"I see... But during the Warring States Period, whether it was dealing with Whitebeard or luring Hollow, if Edward Weibull continues like this, what the Navy has lost will never be recovered!"
He threw his arms and turned around, slamming the door and leaving.
Not too surprised, Warring States sighed again and picked up the phone.
"This...maybe it's good."
…
A few days later, a large open space was cleared in the center of an uninhabited island near the Navy Headquarters. Many naval elites gathered here to watch and participate in the final leg of the world conscription.
Only a few of the top experts who have been screened here are left, and they need to discuss with the Navy's serving generals to determine their military ranks.
Among the several strong men, Yixiao and Edward Weibull, who had long been recognized as monsters, performed remarkably well. Even if their opponents were vice admirals, they were easily defeated after a brief confrontation.
Some people were even stabbed.
At this time, Edward Weibull's mother Ba Jin was scolding him: "Weibull, I said we will be the navy from now on. This is a competition between colleagues. How can you hurt others?"
The tall and fat man, nearly seven meters tall, had a silly look on his face and timidly said: "I was wrong, mother. No, don't blame me, I didn't know he was so stupid, I accidentally cut him."
"Weibull!" Ba Jin emphasized: "Although it is the truth, you are not allowed to say that again."
"oh……"
The singing and drinking between the mother and son was very hateful, and many sailors looked strange at them, but the mother and son didn't care at all.
On the other side, a blind man wearing a lavender yukata who was also a 'monster' smiled and frowned slightly.
Because he was selected from different places. He was Weibull, whom he had only met in recent days. The righteous navy... Why would such a person be allowed to participate in the conscription? He was even intentionally awarded the position of general?
At this moment, his vision suddenly caught his eye, and he turned around and looked into the distance: 'This is...'
"Hey, Teacher Zefa?!"
"Why did you come here suddenly?"
When the navy saw the person coming, they tensed up, but they did not dare to intercept him.
Zefa was alone, walking through the crowd, looking at the enemy he could never forget.
"Edward Weibull." His voice spread around: "Do you remember me?!"
"Huh?" Weibull scratched his head: "Oh, it's you, I know him, hehe. You are a strong fool. A long time ago, I couldn't beat you, but you let me go as soon as I begged you. Later, I
Everyone on your ship was killed, and... Huh? Wasn't your arm cut off by me?"
"You remember it, that's good." Zefa's voice remained calm, but his aura was not.
A strong murderous intention appeared in Zefa, the former general who was known as the 'non-killer'. After hearing Weibull's words, the navy no longer concealed their hostility.
In fact, all the navies who knew about Weibull's past had strong objections to his appearance, but they were suppressed by orders from their superiors, restricted by their identities, and lacked strength, so they were unable to do anything.
But at this time, Zefa arrived in person, and Weibull uttered words that were almost provocative. Naturally, the backbone of the navy could no longer bear it!
Seeing this, Ba Jin narrowed his eyes slightly: "Wei Buer, I told you, don't talk nonsense, now we are the navy, their companions! What are you navy going to do?! We agreed that as long as we participate in the world conscription, we will pass by
If you don’t care about anything, are you going to go back on your word?!”
These words were shouted to the few strong men who participated in the conscription, and there were also pirates among them.
But before the others responded, they opened their eyes with a smile, revealing the whites of their eyes, and their blindness seemed very intimidating: "Is there such a past? If the navy recruits even such people, then forgive me...
It’s shameful to be together!”
Zefa raised his eyebrows slightly. He was ready to use his own body to defeat the plans of the World Government. He did not expect that he would smile and speak out for justice. It seems that this world conscription is not completely meaningless. Only by joining the navy can such people better implement justice.
Just as he was about to say more, a strange voice suddenly echoed in his ears: "Well said. If he can even participate in the world's military conscription, can I also become a naval admiral?"
"Um?"
Everyone suddenly turned their eyes towards the direction where the sound came from. When and who was it?!
The next moment, where the eyes focused, a strong man about three meters tall and dressed in black was slowly approaching. His face was upright and majestic, and as he moved, there seemed to be an invisible force guiding everyone's hearts to beat.
frequency!
The face was somewhat familiar, but seemed to be uncommon, which made the navy feel dazed for a moment before they all showed shocked expressions.
Even shocked.
"He is...impossible, right?"
"How? Blasphemer?!"
"Dunan Isbadry?!"
Nearly four years have passed since the destruction of the Holy Land Mariejoia. The face of the blasphemer Dunant Isbadry, who had a bounty of 5 billion, has disappeared since that day and has almost been forgotten by the world.
But that doesn’t include their navy, which has been searching for each other for more than a month!
The world's most vicious criminal, who had disappeared for four years, would appear in a place like this?!
What is he going to do?!
"The blasphemer who slaughtered countless Celestial Dragons and freed slaves?" Yixiao replied: "I've heard of his name a long time ago and wanted to see him, but unfortunately now that I have actually seen him, you don't seem to want to see a blind man who can't see.
See your appearance clearly."
"She's not a beauty. What's there to see clearly?" Ji Xing smiled and walked closer.
It had been a long time since he had put on a vest, and he had just left the Devil's Triangle and came to join in the fun.
"It's so lively here."
He looked to Zefa's side, where a golden light gathered, and the old flashy man with a wretched face appeared, chirping: "Oh~ I'm in some trouble. Why did the blasphemer come here? I started to have a headache when I saw you.
Here~"
Kizaru was already here, and Zefa was allowed to pass smoothly because he intentionally let him go. Of course, he received the order from the Warring States Period to let Zefa destroy the World Government and use Weibull to fight Whitebeard.
"Porsalino..." Seeing Kizaru appear, Zefa naturally understood and hummed in a complicated voice: "That guy from the Warring States Period..."
"Teacher Zefa." Kizaru called: "Put everything else down first. The blasphemers are very powerful. We may be in some danger this time~"
On the opposite side, Edward Weibull lowered his head and whispered to Ba Jin: "Mom, does the new guy want to compete with me for the position of admiral? So is he an enemy? Do I want to kill him?"
Ba Jin looked solemn and did not answer.
Although she was very confident in her silly son's fighting ability, even if Kizaru appeared, she would still be confident.
But it's different from the blasphemer who only appeared once and became a legend. This is a mysterious guy who killed countless Celestial Dragons and is still alive today!
After a moment of silence, she raised her head and shouted: "Hey! Shiji! Stop hiding, the situation has changed. Too many unexpected people have appeared. It seems our plan is going to change!"
"Jie hahahaha——"
There was a burst of laughter in the sky. A man with a rudder on his head, blond hair that reached his feet, and a pair of calves replaced by two knives flew down. He was the man who was as famous as the Pirate King Roger Whitebeard in the previous era.
Legendary Pirate Golden Lion Shiki!
The navy was using Edward Weibull. Weibull didn't know it, but Ba Jin could naturally see it. The reason why she dared to use the trick was because she got in touch with her old friend Jin Shiji who was also on the Rocks ship, and made an appointment to take care of him!
"It's an unexpected surprise to see you bold boy, Blasphemer, here." He looked at Ji Xing and said, "Just in time, come with me. Let's work together to overthrow the boring world government and the Celestial Dragons, and rule the world.
!”
"Golden Lion Shiji~ It's so scary~" Kizaru murmured: "It seems that Weibull's review is a little too relaxed~"
Zefa snorted coldly, clenched his fists, and looked between Weibull, Ji Xing, and Golden Lion. Today...is it still impossible to take revenge?
From Ji Xing, Huang Yuan, to Golden Lion.
The appearance of each person made the atmosphere on the island solemn and depressing.
The navy elites had already gathered behind Zefa Kizaru. On the other side, Yixiao slowly walked over with a cane and nodded to them, indicating that he was a member of the navy.
For a time, it became a three-way confrontation, with most eyes focused on Ji Xing.
Compared to the great pirates of the previous era, the name of the blasphemer is more intimidating in this era!
And his purpose, whether he accepts the Golden Lion's invitation or not, determines today's situation.
"How about it, boy." Golden Lion added: "Jie hahahahaha - I am 74 years old this year. Join me to overthrow the world government, and the future will be all yours!"
Under the gaze of everyone, Ji Xing looked up at the golden lion and said: "As you get older, the influence of the rudder above your head becomes more and more important. The loss of legs and the loss of courage have made you withdraw from the top level.
The ranks of the strong. Your strength is not as good as Edward Weeble. You should be hiding to live your life, why are you running around and jumping around?"
"The future is mine?" He smiled and said: "What I said is like the 'now' does not belong to me. If I destroy the world government, I don't want to drag you down with me!"
