One Piece meme: Starting with eight extraordinary skills

As the patriarch recounted his story, the members of the Achino family were all eager to participate.

Ordinary navies don't recruit from outside, but Yang Ming has independent command authority and the right to recruit outsiders, which is a very rare power. It's just that in the past, Yang Ming's military rank was too low to attract talents from all over the country.

Times have changed and things and people have changed.

Once the news of Yang Ming's capture of Drought Jack spreads, it will inevitably attract a considerable number of talented individuals to come and join him.

Bounty hunters may seem carefree, but their lives are filled with hardship and suffering. They dare not provoke powerful pirates and can only hunt down lower-ranking pirates. Their income is extremely unstable, and they must constantly worry about the pirates' vengeful attacks.

If one could have the opportunity to join the Navy, it would be like having a powerful backer, which explains why the Achino family would be interested.

With a "click," a specially made sea stone shackle tailor-made for Drought Jack was put on his wrist. Yang Ming successfully arrested Drought Jack. All that was left was to eliminate the remaining pirates on the ship.

Jack the Drought is also a Devil Fruit user, and he is similarly countered by Seastone. Without the support of his Zoan-type Devil Fruit ability, his severely injured body could no longer withstand the fatigue. He collapsed limply to the ground, his eyes tightly closed, looking like he was exhaling more than inhaling. If it weren't for the strong physique of the Saddle Belt Fishman, he would probably have already ascended to heaven on the spot.

"Roar!"

A deafening roar of a dinosaur rang out.

Yang Ming looked up and saw a Spinosaurus suddenly swing its long tail horizontally, the tail sweeping out like a battering ram, sending Drake, Kalifa and the others who were blocking his way flying.

Taking advantage of the moment when no one was blocking his way, Page Van charged forward, his gaping maw revealing fangs as thick as an adult's arm. Thick saliva dripped down his teeth, and a nauseating stench emanated from his mouth.

It must be said that the Ancient Zoan type is an extremely powerful Devil Fruit, granting Page One formidable resilience and regenerative abilities. He has fought against Drake and Kalifa alone for so long and is still alive and kicking.

However, Page One, who broke through the encirclement, did not notice the pitying looks that Drake, Kalifa, and the others were casting at him from behind. Perhaps even if he had noticed, Page One would not have paid any attention to it.

Yang Ming was already very tired and didn't want to get entangled with these small fry, so he quickly took out a coin from his pocket.

"One... one coin?"

Peggy's pupils reflected Yang Ming's figure, and a nameless rage suddenly rose in his heart.

"You brat, don't look down on me!"

"You think that just because you defeated Lord Jack, you can use a mere coin to..."

Page Van couldn't continue speaking, because there was no longer any need to say anything.

Strands of electric arcs coiled around Yang Ming's right arm, forming a solenoid-shaped closed circuit. When his thumb and forefinger interlocked, the coin flipped over and flew out. Under the influence of the opposing currents in the coil, the small coin was accelerated by the force, reaching an astonishing speed in a short moment.

This coin once reached a speed of 11000 meters per second!

If it weren't for the fact that the material of the coin couldn't be maintained for a long time, probably no weapon in the world could stand against this coin electromagnetic cannon.

Perhaps only ancient weapons can be compared to it?

The coin hurtled out in a straight line at high speed, passively affecting the steel plates in its path, leaving a ripple on the deck.

Page One felt his vision was completely covered by the light of lightning. Even his Observation Haki couldn't catch the coin's trajectory. Or rather, even if he could catch the trajectory, Page One's speed wouldn't be enough to dodge it!

"puff!"

The coin pierced through Pagevan's chest and exited through his back, leaving a hole the size of a coin in his chest. The flesh and blood that passed through it were charred black by the high temperature, and the aroma of roasting meat kept emanating from the hole.

Paget clutched his chest, kneeling on the ground and vomiting blood. Blood mixed with fragments of internal organs sprayed onto the ground, and his life force immediately waned.

Drake, Kalifa, and the others surrounded them again. Drake shook his head repeatedly and sighed:

"If you don't court death, you won't die. Why are you in such a hurry to come up here and die?"

Drake's infuriating tone enraged Page Van, causing his wound to worsen and resulting in him vomiting three liters of blood again, his face turning deathly pale.

Black Maria originally intended to come up and rescue Jack the Drought, but when she saw Page Van's fate, the charming and beautiful woman hesitated and suddenly stopped in her tracks.

Although the Ancient Tarantula of the Gremory is also an Ancient Zoan-type spider, it is far inferior to Jack the Drought and Page One in terms of survivability and resilience. Black Maria has no confidence that she can survive a direct confrontation with the electromagnetic cannon.

In the face of death, everyone is equal.

All loyalty is built on unbreakable interests, and once those interests are faced with death, they become utterly ridiculous.

With Black Maria retreating, the other fighters on the ship looked at each other, but none of them dared to step forward.

This is not cowardice, but following the heart.

The fall and capture of Jack the Drought had a visible psychological impact on the other pirates.

Some pirates chose to jump into the sea from the deck of the giant steel ship, hoping for a slim chance of survival; some chose to surrender; and the remaining pirates, like trapped beasts, fought back with all their might.

As a Devil Fruit user, the sea is Black Maria's natural enemy. Even if she has the thought of escaping, all she can see in the distance is the endless sea, except for the coastline of Water Seven. She has no choice but to fight to the death.

Without a doubt, their struggles were in vain.

As time went on, one pirate after another was killed or captured on the spot, and the battle gradually came to an end.

As the battlefield commander, Jonathan began directing his men to transfer the severely wounded to a rear hospital for emergency treatment through the portal opened by Bruno. At the same time, he arranged for men to clean up the battlefield, removing severed limbs and bloodstains.

Under Jonathan's command, everything was handled in an orderly manner, requiring little concern from Yang Ming.

Yang Ming summoned his personal secretary, Kalifa, and instructed her:

"Send someone to contact Morgans, the president of the World Economic News Agency, and inform him to send a large number of reporters to Water Seven. I plan to broadcast the execution of Drought Jack live on a chosen day to give the pirates of the Grand Line a great shock!"

Upon hearing this, Kalifa raised her hand to adjust her glasses to hide her inner shock.

After much deliberation, Kalifa gently advised against it:

"Captain, isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

Yang Ming was well aware of Kalifa's worries. He looked around and saw a series of tired faces, but their eyes were brighter than ever before.

"The wind will change direction, and one day it will blow in a brighter direction."

"Then let me stir up this storm of world change!"

Chapter 158 A Triple Promotion! Becoming the Youngest Commodore in the Navy Headquarters!

The wind stopped, the rain stopped.

The dark clouds that had hung over Seven Waters gradually dispersed, revealing a clear blue sky. Raindrops, like pearls, dotted a large patch of grass on the lawn. A window under the eaves opened, and people began to walk the streets again. Seven Waters gradually returned to its former bustling state.

A massive steel ship cut through the waves and slowly docked at the pier.

Before the pirate ships that were preparing to flee the scene had gone far, fireballs with a diameter of thirty meters rained down from the sky, sinking them and their crew into the sea. Against the backdrop of fire and roar, the steel behemoth resembled a steel beast lying on the ocean, exuding a suffocating atmosphere.

Yang Ming stood at the bow of the ship, now dressed in a neat white naval uniform. A cool spring breeze caressed his face, causing his bangs to flutter in the wind, and his dark eyes were as deep and captivating as the ocean.

"Ding!"

"Congratulations, host, for reciting a classic line from Genshin Impact. You have been awarded one chance to draw a prize. Would you like to activate the prize wheel?"

A lottery wheel that looked quite familiar to Yang Ming appeared.

The prizes on the lottery wheel are divided into several categories: summoned characters, artifacts, items, talent skills, and skins.

Relics: Flower of Life, Feather of Death, Sands of Time, Goblet of Emptiness, Crown of Reason...

This effect can stack up to 3 times.

A small vessel slowly flowing with a hot solution; legend has it that it contains melted evil spirits.

The moment it appeared, it naturally merged into Yang Ming's body.

Yang Ming raised his right hand, and flames danced and leaped at his fingertips like sprites, sometimes drawing out a thread of fire, sometimes changing shape. His control over the flames was even more exquisite. If you said he was a user of the Flame-Flame Fruit, people would probably believe it.

Kalifa stepped onto the deck with a notebook in her hand. She looked up and saw the boy leaning against the railing. The spring sunlight lazily fell on the boy's face, outlining his resolute and unyielding features. The boy seemed to be in a good mood, with a subtle curve at the corner of his mouth. Flames danced around his fingertips, making him look like a king who controlled the flames.

Kalifa adjusted her glasses to hide the trembling in her heart, but the cute dimples on her cheeks seemed to reveal a certain inclination in her heart.

"Captain, we've arrived at the dock."

"The head and members of the bounty hunter family, the Achino family, request an audience, hoping to join the captain's crew."

Yang Ming extinguished the flame in his hand, and after a moment of thought, he finally remembered the situation of the Achino family.

The Achino family is of average strength and influence. They probably saw him capture Jack the Drought and planned to profit from this opportunity. They can be described as opportunistic speculators who change their allegiance based on the prevailing winds.

Such people should neither be neglected nor given important responsibilities.

A man's heart is forged through hardship. If he has the world in his heart, he must be able to accommodate people with different personalities and purposes in order to gather strength and achieve great things.

If Yang Ming were to turn a blind eye to the Achino family who came to seek refuge today, it would send an unfriendly signal to the outside world and cause unnecessary suspicion in the hearts of many who were originally full of ambition to join him.

The saying "spending a fortune to buy a horse's bones" implies that it requires both giving the other party a certain degree of attention and achieving a good publicity effect, which is no easy task.

Yang Ming raised his hand to rub his forehead to relieve his fatigue, and then ordered Kalifa to bring the people of the Achino family over.

This is a trivial matter and there's no need to discuss it excessively.

The next day.

The news birds of the World Economic News Agency, carrying backpacks on their shoulders, fly in all directions, spreading the latest news far and wide.

Shocking! Drought Jack captured by the Navy!

With the birth of the Kingdom Guardians and a major operation targeting the Beasts Pirates, is the Navy really about to change its old ways?

Focus on the latest naval developments, giving you a unique perspective!

The man who captured Drought Jack was actually a nine-year-old naval lieutenant—what truth lies behind this?

Why did Jack the Drought kneel down? Why did hundreds of pirates scream in the middle of the night? Why was Black Maria repeatedly targeted? Why were the Beasts Pirates constantly being targeted? Why was Jack the Drought's flagship destroyed? Who was responsible for all of this? Behind all this, is it the distortion of humanity or the decline of morality? Is it the Navy's outburst or the Beasts Pirates' helplessness? Please stay tuned for the latest reports from World Economic News Agency!

Not long after the newsbirds delivered their newspapers to Wano Country, a chilling aura of Conqueror's Haki suddenly swept across the land, and a roar that terrified all beasts echoed from the sky above Onigashima.

"How dare you lay a hand on my men! Your navy has some serious nerve!"

Within the thick black clouds, a lightning bolt shaped like a tree branch flashed by. In the white lightning, a huge azure dragon, whose head and tail were nowhere to be seen, was vaguely visible, coiled in the sky. Its terrifying power was comparable to that of the strongest creature in the world!

Its antlers resemble those of a deer, its head that of a camel, its eyes that of a rabbit, its neck that of a snake, its belly that of a clam, its scales that of a fish, its claws that of an eagle, its paws that of a tiger, and its ears that of a cow.

Dragons can be large or small, can rise or hide; when large, they stir up clouds and mist, when small, they conceal their form; when rising, they soar through the universe, when hiding, they lurk within the waves.

This is Kaido, the governor of the Beasts Pirates, with a bounty of 4,611,100,000 Berries!
