One Piece meme: Starting with eight extraordinary skills

Having decided on the future direction of the two dwarfs, Yang Ming extended an index finger, a gentle smile appearing on his harmless face.

"Let me introduce myself first. I am a major shareholder of Carrera Company and also your boss. Please take care of me."

Man Shirley gently lifted the hem of her skirt with both hands, gave a slight bow, and then placed her cool, delicate hand on Yang Ming's index finger, saying softly:

"Please give me your advice."

Navy Headquarters.

After leaving the meeting room, Guizhu Vergo sat in his office with a somewhat gloomy expression, thinking to himself:

"Recently, Lieutenant General Tsuru has been frequently summoning brigadier generals and major generals, including myself, and all of them have been promoted in the last ten years. It seems that they suspect there are traitors among us. With my disguise skills and the fact that I have cleaned up my mess, Lieutenant General Tsuru has not been able to find any clues about me for the time being. But if this drags on, something might happen."

Just then, a strange noise came from inside the drawer.

Oni-take Vergo raised an eyebrow, quietly locked the door, and quickly opened the drawer, where a silver Den Den Mushi came into view.

The Den Den Mushi's mouth opened and closed, revealing Charlotte Snag's rough, slightly weak voice:

"Heart, Yang Ming, whom the Joker asked me to hunt down, has appeared in Water Seven, but this kid is more troublesome than expected. I need more detailed information about Yang Ming."

Vergo was perceptive; although Charlotte Snag concealed it well, he still sensed the weakness in her voice and couldn't help but probe:

"You are hurt?"

Chapter 139 Everyone has their own destiny, predetermined by fate. Some are born to be kings, others to be outlaws.

Spring of the year 1513 in the Haiyuan calendar.

As history turned to a new year, the seas remained bustling and turbulent. Lee Sin, the self-proclaimed heir to the will of Rocks, emerged as the Dark Lord, clashing with the three admirals of the Marine Headquarters. At the end of the year, Shanks, the Red-Haired, became the youngest Emperor of the Sea, joining Edward Newgate, Charlotte Linlin, and Kaido of the Beasts as one of the Four Emperors.

Among the many islands in the Grand Line recently, Water Seven has attracted the most attention.

Someone unearthed the demon sword, the first generation Onikiri.

Someone unearthed a corner of a forgotten historical text.

Someone unearthed gold dating back four hundred years.

Whether they were greedy adventurers, ambitious pirates, human traffickers trying to take advantage of the chaos, or bounty hunters looking to make a fortune, they all flocked to this magnificent city from all directions.

Everyone began to believe that Captain John's immense wealth was hidden somewhere in Water Seven, sparking a massive gold rush. The arrival of countless people with ulterior motives further propelled Water Seven toward prosperity.

A sea train departed from the hot spring resort of Secan Island and traveled a long way. The chimney on the top of the locomotive carriage made a strange "whooshing" sound while billowing thick steam and smoke.

As always, the beautiful and sweet-voiced waitress, Kokoro, explained the Seven Waters to the numerous travelers. Just before arriving at Dock Island Station, she held up a mask and smiled sweetly, saying:

"Ladies and gentlemen, it's almost time for the Water Seven's annual grand Mask Carnival. During this time, residents dress up in masks, which promotes the unique local art of face painting and crystal processing. Each mask is exquisitely crafted. To promote Water Seven's culture, Carrera will be giving each passenger a free mask as a small gift. We hope you have a pleasant journey."

Trafalgarro blankly accepted the mask presented by the waiter, Kokoro. It was a mask that looked like a panda, and it even looked a little cute. Wearing it on his face complemented his own temperament.

Seeing him staring blankly out the window, Buffalo couldn't help but whisper a reminder:

"Lo, we've arrived at the station. Let's not keep Lord Snag waiting."

"Ah."

Trafalgar Law snapped out of his daze, holding the box containing the ashes of Doflamingo in both hands, and filed down the river with the remaining members of the Donquixote Family.

The Don Quixote family is no longer what it once was; apart from Trafalgar Law and Buffalo Law present, there are only Baby-5 and Sugar.

The legendary Red Heart, Vergo, is currently infiltrating the Navy Headquarters. It was through his connections that Charlotte Snag was able to come and rescue the remaining members of the Don Quixote Family, preventing them from suffering unnecessary losses.

The Donquixote Family, though weakened, is still a force to be reckoned with. Although the family's power has crumbled and Doflamingo has fallen, the connections he cultivated over the years remain and continue to exert their influence.

Otherwise, with their remaining troops, it would have been impossible for them to safely retreat from the New World and make their way to Water Seven.

On this vast ocean, it's easy to judge whether someone is powerful: whether they have mastered the three types of Haki, possess Devil Fruit abilities, or have strong physical and sword skills.

However, judging whether a force is powerful is extremely difficult.

Besides the leader's strength, whether the subordinates are powerful enough, whether the businesses under their control can make a lot of money to support a large army, these are all information that can be analyzed on the surface. However, the connections and background hidden in the shadows are obviously impossible to quantify and analyze.

"I'll take you guys to the best bar in town for a welcome dinner and then settle you in."

After saying that, Charlotte Snag led the way, but she walked with a limp.

Trafalgarro had been instilled with a great deal of medical knowledge since childhood, and he immediately saw the crux of the problem: the residual injury on his back had affected his central nervous system, causing his hands and feet to lose their usual dexterity, which led to his current condition.

"Uncle, are you hurt?"

"I'm a doctor, I should be able to heal your injuries."

Upon hearing this, Charlotte Snag turned around, removed the demon mask from her face, and managed a weak smile on her chubby face.

"You must be Luo. You are indeed a kind-hearted child. I heard Hongxin mention your excellent medical skills. I will need your help after we finish eating."

On one side was a world-renowned pirate, and on the other were homeless, defeated soldiers. They didn't have much in common and remained somewhat silent throughout the journey.

Heading north along the Avenue of Gods, the group passed the central square where Mr. Tom had been executed. In the distance, they could see a magnificent building in the city center, with a flag flying on a flagpole. On the flag was a picture of a white dove standing in the middle of an olive leaf, looking very proud.

First-time visitors to Water Seven are invariably drawn to the impressive exterior of Carrera's headquarters. Through the enormous floor-to-ceiling windows, one can see the company's living room adorned with massive oil paintings, murals, and marble sculptures, creating an opulent and awe-inspiring atmosphere that showcases the company's wealth.

As Trafalgarro passed near the Carrera headquarters, he noticed that Charlotte Snag seemed to be walking a little faster.

"Is it my imagination?"

"I have a feeling that the uncle seems a bit wary of this company."

After leaving the Carrera headquarters, ahead lies a quaint stone arch bridge. The bridge is wide enough to allow two carriages to pass side by side. People come and go on the bridge. It is the only bridge that every convicted prisoner must cross on their way to prison. Because prisoners often repent and sigh when crossing this bridge, it is also known as the Bridge of Sighs.

Across from the Bridge of Sighs lies a bustling commercial street, where pedestrians dressed in various styles and wearing all sorts of masks come and go, adding a touch of fantasy to the city.

As the group walked through the streets and alleys, a large, unassuming bar came into view, its neon sign flashing with the words "Black Bull Tavern".

"welcome!"

The group pushed open the tavern door and filed in. The scantily clad hostesses on both sides of the door bowed and scraped, revealing deep cleavage. The allure of the winding path was so captivating that Buffalo and Trafalgar Law, two hot-blooded young men, couldn't help but bleed from their noses.

Which young person could withstand such a test?

Fortunately, the masks concealed their ugliness, thus preventing them from making a fool of themselves in public.

Charlotte Snag was clearly a regular here, taking up the best spot at the bar and waving at Bruno.

"Boss, give us a few Scarlet Marys and a few stir-fries."

"no problem."

Bruno replied in a strange tone with a retroflex consonant.

The tavern owner was tall and always dressed in a black suit. He had an honest and kind face, with two cow horn-like braids on his head, sausage lips, and a full beard. He looked like an honest man who would take on someone else's problems.

Bruno opened the bottle cap, poured three different unidentified liquids into a glass, added an appropriate amount of ice, then capped it, and magically swirled the glass with both hands. When the glass landed back on the table, he opened the cap again, and the fragrant, scarlet liquid poured into several triangular glasses, which were then presented to the group.

Trafalgar Law removed the panda mask, lowered his head, and took a sip of the drink. It was surprisingly spicy, at least 52 degrees Celsius, even more stimulating than eating a chili pepper. His face immediately turned red.

Charlotte Snag, on the other hand, let out a comfortable sigh.

"Boss, what do you use to make your drinks? They taste so good!"

Bruno remained silent, clearly not intending to reveal the truth.

He thought to himself, Yang Ming, his new boss, was truly a genius. He actually thought of combining the bathwater of the little people, Mansherry, with white wine and red wine to create this new wine called Bloody Mary. One glass was worth 100,000 Berries. Ordinary people simply couldn't afford it. Only the fat sheep could afford it, and they all praised it highly, wanting to drink a second glass after drinking one.

Charlotte Snag didn't mind, but felt a little regretful that if she returned to Whole Cake Island, she would never be able to drink such a potent drink again.

No matter where you are, taverns are places where all sorts of people mingle, and also places where information and intelligence converge.

In just a short time, Trafalgar Law heard a lot of rumors, eight out of ten of which were about Captain John.

Just then, a man dressed in a black robe suddenly stood up in the tavern.

This person wore a pale mask, with bloodstains under his eyes. What was even more peculiar was his double pupils. He exuded an aura that was impossible to ignore, and even a group of experts, including Charlotte Snag, couldn't help but stare at him intently.

Trafalgar Law has been good at reading people since he was a child. He immediately noticed that the black-robed man's strange eyes were exactly the same as those of Lee Sin, the Dark Lord who killed Doflamingo!

"Could it be that he is..."

Trafalgar Law's breath hitched, his heart raced, and his palms and the backs of his hands were covered in cold sweat.

The man in black robes ignored the surprised and uncertain looks in everyone's eyes and continued speaking to himself:

"Everyone has their own destiny, ordained by Heaven. Some are born to be kings, while others are born to be outlaws."

"I have been arrogant since birth, so tell me, how strong is the navy?"

"We are born free, who dares to look down on us?"

"Starting today, the Dark Night Pirates are officially recruiting crew members. Those interested can contact me!"

Chapter 140: Charlotte Linlin, the old lady, is going to marry down?

A hero dies with great fame, while a good-for-nothing dies with a scolding.

On this vast ocean, those who go out to sea to make a living pursue not only freedom, but also fame, status, wealth, power, and beautiful women.

Those who are powerful become increasingly famous, gaining admiration and envy from others. However, they also become stepping stones in the eyes of others, who want to step on those who have already achieved fame to rise to the top and become heroes whose stories are sung by the world.

The first time Yang Ming had brought Enel, the Six Paths puppet, to the world, and his declaration to recruit crew members had barely finished when someone sneered disdainfully.

"The dignified heir to the will of Lox, could you possibly be a cowardly rat hiding his head and tail?"

The six puppets shared the same field of vision as Yang Ming. Enel stiffly turned his head and saw two figures, one tall and one short, slowly walking towards him.

The short man, resembling a dwarf, wore a white sleeveless shirt with star-shaped tattoos on his left shoulder and chest—the national symbol of the Mogara Kingdom. He wore wolf-tooth gauntlets on his hands, and his face was cunning and cruel as he looked at Enel with a provocative gaze.

The tall man beside him was robust and powerful, with his hair and beard tied into two braids. He had a spiral and lightning bolt tattoo on the right side of his neck, the symbol of the assassin organization to which the Fan Ku brothers belonged. Surprisingly, this big man was kind-hearted, a stark contrast to his brother.

When the two revealed themselves, gasps of surprise echoed throughout the Black Bull Tavern.

"Those are professional assassins from the Kingdom of Mogara!"

“I recognize him. His brother Kelly and his younger brother Bobby. Together, they can even hold their own against a pirate with a bounty of nearly 100 million!”

Hearing the surprised exclamations of the crowd, Kelly seemed to enjoy the fearful looks on their faces, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up slightly.

Until he realized that Enel didn't seem to be paying attention to him at all, completely treating him as if he were invisible, Kelly's mood plummeted like a rollercoaster, instantly turning from sunny to cloudy. He said to his brother Bobby:

"Little brother, this guy looks down on me. Let's combine our powers and teach him a lesson!"

After saying that, Kelly's body shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into an overcoat.

Kelly is a Paramecia-type Jacket-Jacket Fruit user, capable of transforming his body into a jacket. Once someone wears the jacket, their body becomes his. If used well, it could be a powerful control ability. Unfortunately, getting someone to willingly wear this ugly jacket is a huge challenge.
