One Piece meme: Starting with eight extraordinary skills

The roar resounded through the sky, and the people of Wano Country were terrified.

A short, cute girl was huddled in the corner of the house, her long, dark purple hair styled into a bun. She wore a patched light green kimono with a wide light orange sash, revealing long, thin legs. Her skin was slightly sallow from years of not eating enough.

Xiaoyu clutched her head with both hands, tears welling up in her eyes, her body trembling uncontrollably.

"very scary!"

This scene is merely a microcosm of Wano Country.

This day became a nightmare for many people in Wano Country, constantly disturbing their sleep.

Naval Headquarters, Marinevando.

"Hahaha……"

A hearty laugh came from Marshal Sengoku's office, which could be clearly heard by the naval officers and soldiers passing by in the corridor outside.

"Yang Ming truly lives up to his reputation as the son I raised. He actually managed to capture Drought Jack alive, showing half of my own prowess back in the day!"

Seeing Garp shamelessly boasting and even stealing his treasured senbei, Fleet Admiral Sengoku casually tossed the newspaper to a nearby goat for food, and said with a forced smile:

"Garp, you old bastard, you're shameless!"

Garp completely ignored Fleet Admiral Sengoku's sarcastic remarks, finished his senbei (rice cracker) and then asked the other man for some.

"Warring States Period, this senbei tastes amazing, give me another pack."

"Gone!"

"What, I can't hear you?"

"You bastard, you stole all my treasured snacks, and you still have the nerve to ask me for them?"

"Sorry, sorry, I can't hear what you're saying. Sengoku, why is your face so green? Did you overwork yourself last night?"

The Warring States Marshal turned pale repeatedly, gaining a new and profound understanding of the shamelessness of his old friend.

He took out Yang Ming's file, which recorded Yang Ming's achievements in leading his troops to capture pirates over the past period.

Captain of the Rosio Pirates, Rosio the Executioner, with a bounty of 4200 million Berries.

Crescent Moon, captain of the Great Helmet Pirates, has a bounty of 3600 million Berries.

The Snow Mountain Brothers, with a bounty of 5000 million Berries.

These numerous achievements and feats are all meticulously recorded, highlighting Yang Ming's outstanding contributions.

Now, Yang Ming has captured Drought Jack and two members of the Flying Six, adding another significant chapter to the story.

The Warring States Marshal originally wanted to keep Yang Ming's military rank low, not wanting him to rise too quickly.

This was not a malicious act by the Warring States marshal; it was entirely out of a desire to protect talented individuals.

The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it.

The rise of a genius, within the realm of public understanding, will garner praise and applause from the masses.

However, when a monster that is beyond people's comprehension rises up, it will not receive flowers and applause, but rather people's fear and apprehension.

The Warring States Marshal originally planned to wait a few years before promoting Yang Ming to a higher rank, allowing him to hone his followers and build up his power, and then discuss the matter of rank.

But he never expected that Yang Ming would give him such a big surprise.

Capture Drought Jack?

How could Yang Ming come up with something like that!

The thought that Yang Ming would publicly execute Drought Jack live would inevitably cause a rift between the Navy and the Beasts Pirates, breaking their long-standing tacit understanding of keeping to themselves, gave Fleet Admiral Sengoku an extremely troubled headache.

Moreover, if Marshal Zhan Guo did not promote Yang Ming, it would be unfair and would greatly discourage others from pursuing and suppressing pirates.

The Warring States marshal lived up to his reputation as a wise general; his mind worked quickly, and he soon came up with a way to kill multiple birds with one stone.

"Since Yang Ming provoked this whole thing, I'll just go with the flow and push him into the limelight."

Taking out a brand-new military rank and appointment letter, the Warring States Marshal pressed his seal heavily onto the appointment letter.

"Effective immediately, Yang Ming is promoted to Brigadier General and appointed Governor-General of the Western Sea, in charge of all affairs in the Western Sea!"

Chapter 159 A person who constantly strives towards their life goals is a true strong person.

The youngest commodore in the history of the Navy Headquarters!

The Governor-General of the Western Sea, who oversees all affairs of the Western Sea!

On the award stage at the medal-awarding ceremony, the moment Marshal Zhan Guo personally presented Yang Ming with the rank of Brigadier General, the reporters who had already arrived pressed their shutters one after another, and a series of flashes captured this historic moment that is worthy of being recorded in history.

Below the podium, the expressions of the naval officers varied.

Vice Admiral Flying Squirrel and Vice Admiral Jamil, who were stationed at the branch, looked pleased and hoped to see the rapid rise of the younger generation of the Navy Headquarters.

Vice Admirals like Doberman and Onigumo, who aspired to run for Admiral of the Navy Headquarters, suddenly felt a sinking feeling in their hearts, sensing that a highly competitive superstar was rising.

Giant generals like Lieutenant General Lontz seemed indifferent, as it was difficult for them to attract their attention unless a new giant was promoted to general.

Major General Vergo, known as the "Demon Bamboo," stared intently at the young figure on the podium, a murderous intent rising in his heart.

"We absolutely cannot let him continue to grow up!"

"Li Qing, the Lord of the Night, is the direct culprit behind the destruction of the Don Quixote family, while Yang Ming is the indirect culprit who caused the Don Quixote family to fall apart. Both of them must die!"

Vergo took a deep breath, gradually calming his turbulent emotions. He then made an excuse to leave the scene, slipped into his office, and took a white Den Den Mushi from his drawer.

White Den Den Mushi can emit interference waves to prevent calls from being eavesdropped on, making them an extremely rare species.

Vergo picked up the phone and said in a deep voice:

"Kaido, I am Heart."

After a moment of silence on the other end, perhaps recalling his once fairly good partnership with Doflamingo, the Den Den Mushi opened and closed, emitting Kaido's distinctive smoky voice:

"what's up?"

"I've learned the latest information from within the Navy: Yang Ming will be executing Jack live in Water Seven in three days!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a dull thud came from the other end of the phone, like a heavy object crashing to the ground, followed by the crisp sound of bottles shattering on the floor.

Immediately afterwards, the white Den Den Mushi opened its mouth, and Kaido of the Beasts roared, suppressing his extreme rage:

"How dare he?"

The sound was deafening; if Vergo's office hadn't been specially equipped with soundproofing, this secret affair of colluding with the enemy would probably have been exposed.

Kaido of the Beasts originally thought that the Navy would, as usual, detain Jack the Drought and the others and take them to Impel Down, so that he could take the opportunity to abduct them on the way and prevent them from falling into prison.

However, Yang Ming didn't play by the rules at all. He chose to execute Jack in Water 7, which meant that the Beast Pirates, who were far away in the New World, wouldn't have time to rescue him.

More importantly, Yang Ming also chose to livestream the entire event!

To kill someone, you must first destroy their spirit!

They killed Jack the Drought, but they also destroyed the hearts of the Beasts Pirates!

If you are misled by Kaido's imposing physique and mistakenly believe that he is a simple-minded fool with all his strength, then you are making a big mistake and will suffer a great loss!

Kaido of the Beasts is a commoner who was once an experimental subject of a research institution under the World Government, boarded Rocks' pirate ship, and participated in numerous battles against the Navy. He built a vast empire in the New World with his own hands and can be described as a wise and brave tyrant. Naturally, he saw through Yang Ming's sinister intentions at a glance.

The so-called emperors of the sea are not simply those with great power.

The Four Emperors are all powerful warlords who control their own territories in the New World. They establish entirely new systems of governance and taxation, recruit followers, enact laws, and rule over their people, creating kingdoms that are uniquely characteristic of pirates.

The Four Emperors don't just rely on top-tier combat power and personal charisma to rule such a vast territory and so many people; popular support is also a very important indicator.

Of course, in the eyes of the Four Emperors, the hearts of the people refer more to the hearts of the pirates under their command than to the hearts of the common people.

If Kaido of the Beasts can't even protect his own top lieutenant, what will his pirates think, and what will the other unruly pirates think?

They might not dare to speak frankly to Kaido of the Beasts, but they would speak ill of him behind his back.

"Look, this is a useless boss who can't even protect his own underlings!"

Once the pirates under his command have such thoughts, morale will collapse, the team will be difficult to lead, and they may even rebel and join the other three Sea Emperors.

This is also a major reason why Kaido of the Beasts is so angry.

"Heart, help me!"

Seeing the fish take the bait, Vergo's lips curled up slightly, and he said:

"Kaido, I have three strategies: superior, middle, and inferior. Let me explain them to you."

While Vergo was busy running around behind the scenes, engaging in all sorts of underhanded tactics, the awarding ceremony had already come to a close.

As the saying goes, when one person attains enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.

After Yang Ming was promoted to brigadier general, the ranks of his subordinates Tina, Jonathan, and Smoker also rose accordingly, with each receiving a promotion.

At the same time, after being promoted to brigadier general, Yang Ming asked the Warring States Marshal for the authority to transfer a general to a position.

Perhaps thinking of what was about to happen, Marshal Zhan Guo made an exception and allowed Yang Ming's slightly willful request.

Now that Yang Ming and his men are traveling to the deep-sea prison aboard a steel warship, it's time to bring the warden, Shiryu Ame, to his side and prepare for the increasingly fierce battles to come.

Braving the winds and waves, creating countless splashes.

Despite the rough seas, the steel warships remained completely unaffected, their chimneys billowing black smoke resembling coal particles, accompanied by the whistling sound of steam rising from boiling water.

The steel warships were quite a sight to behold, drawing gasps of amazement from the officers and sailors of the Navy Headquarters.

Standing before the enormous floor-to-ceiling windows, Marshal Sengoku stood with his hands behind his back, gazing intently at the steel warships as they sailed further and further away, thinking to himself:

Will you be the one to change the course of history?

Inside the steel warship, Yang Ming and his subordinates celebrated with champagne.

A white tablecloth covered the table. Kalifa swayed her slender waist as she walked out of the kitchen, pushing a food cart and presenting a series of exquisitely prepared delicacies to everyone.

Puff pastry seafood chowder, black pepper grilled steak, pesto seafood pasta, baked cauliflower, spicy fish and potato balls, bacon and vegetable fried rice, ham and durian pizza, cheesy grilled pork chops...

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

Yang Ming, slightly tipsy from drinking rum, asked his advisor Jonathan beside him:

"I can understand why Fleet Admiral Sengoku promoted me to Brigadier General, but why did he specifically appoint me as Governor of the West Blue? Is he trying to transfer me from the Grand Line to the West Blue to keep me away from the conflicts?"

Now is a crucial year for the election of the Navy Headquarters Admiral, and the final results will be announced next year. Yang Ming has no intention of leaving the Grand Line and going to a remote place like the West Blue.
