One Piece meme: Starting with eight extraordinary skills

More than 500 well-trained naval soldiers, each with a rifle slung over their shoulder, a tactical belt around their waist, a standard-issue military knife on one side of their waist, and functional shells installed on their elbows and the soles of their shoes, allowing these soldiers to briefly perform Moonwalk, making their combat power far exceed that of ordinary soldiers.

Ordinary people, like tamed sheep, stood orderly outside the cordon under the arrangement of Tina and others. When they felt that their view ahead was blocked, they did not cause trouble, but simply stood on tiptoe to look ahead.

Hidden among the crowd, the pirates warily scanned their surroundings. They spotted groups of black-clad agents standing on high points like stone towers and clock towers, and a strange man wrapped in medical bandages sitting cross-legged in the central square, leaning on a long, narrow sword called Raiyu. Beneath the wide brim of his hat, a pair of cold, sharp eyes, like those of a vulture, occasionally flashed with a glint of light.

When they discovered that Shiryu of the Rain was also there, many pirates felt a chill rise from the soles of their feet, spreading up their spines to their brains.

Shiryu of the Rain had only been with the crew for three days, perhaps because he had been cooped up in Impel Down for too long. When he received Yang Ming's mission to purge the criminals in Water 7, Shiryu of the Rain acted together with Rob Lucci and others, immediately unleashing a bloodbath in Water 7. No pirate who fell into Shiryu of the Rain survived; they all ended their lives in various gruesome ways.

Such cruel methods would put even the most ruthless pirates to shame.

The more a villain enjoys harming others, the more instinctively they will feel fear when they encounter someone even more vicious than themselves, as if they were facing a predator at the top of the food chain.

The wicked will be punished by the wicked; that's the principle.

Because it rained constantly in Water City for three days, criminals such as pirates, bandits, and human traffickers secretly gave Shiryu the Rain a nickname:

Butcher in the Rainy Night.

It must be said that this title is quite fitting for Shiryu of the Rain.

Very few people are able to cross the warning line, and those who are are all people with special status.

One of them appeared as an albatross, wearing a black top hat with a red and white feather stuck upside down, a blue shirt underneath, a black cape over it, a yellow tie around his neck, and red and white checkered trousers. A row of reporters holding cameras stood beside him.

The New World is a place where order and chaos coexist. In addition to the bustling trade on the surface, the constant wars have spawned a large number of shady businesses, creating countless arms dealers and loan sharks in the underworld.

Over the years, only six people have been able to stand out from these arms dealers and loan sharks. They are known as the Six Kings of the Underworld, and they control six major areas: currency, assassins, entertainment, intelligence, goods, and transportation in most parts of the world.

Morgans, president of the World Economic News Agency, is also one of the six kings of the underworld.

Invited by Yang Ming, Morgans, with his keen news sense, immediately realized that today was a very important day, and naturally brought reporters from the World Economic News Agency with him.

A group of reporters busied themselves, placing video Den Den Mushi (snail phones) in every important corner, aiming at the execution platform from every angle.

Video Den Den Mushi include Den Den Mushi that capture and project images, used for recording images or live streaming.

As time went on, a gasp of surprise rang out from the crowd.

Morgans looked in the direction of the sound and saw a boy holding an iron chain, the other end of which was connected to the neck of a huge man. Yang Ming was walking the great Beasts Pirates' top rank officer, Jack the Drought, like a dog after a meal.

No wonder people are so surprised.

Yang Ming ignored the stares around him and focused his attention on the system notification.

"Ding!"

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

A lottery wheel slowly appeared, with three types of prizes: items, bloodlines, and martial arts skills.

Props: Spaceship, Dragon Balls...

Bloodline: Saiyan bloodline, Majin Buu bloodline...

Martial arts: Kamehameha, Kaioken...

[Two-Star Dragon Ball]: When all seven Dragon Balls are collected, Shenron can be summoned to make a wish. (2/7)

Yang Ming didn't know what wish he would make if he actually collected all seven Dragon Balls.

Immortality?

Colonizing all worlds?

Sowing seeds in the world?

Who knows.

Feeling the gazes directed at him from all directions, Jack the Drought trembled with rage. Despite the sweltering heat, he broke out in a cold sweat, his hands and feet icy cold. Could this society ever get any better? Hell is empty, and the devils are here on earth. How can pirates possibly live to satisfy you? Tears streamed down his face uncontrollably. This world is filled with oppression of pirates. When will pirates ever truly stand up?

If Jack the Drought hadn't been wearing specially made Seastone shackles on his hands and feet, he would have bitten these onlookers to death so they would understand why the flowers were so red.

At first, the onlookers shrank back in fear because of Drought Jack's terrifying gaze.

It was discovered that, apart from staring wide-eyed, stretching his neck, and grinning, Drought Jack didn't seem to be anything frightening. This reassured the onlookers and prevented unnecessary disturbances.

Some of the bolder villagers even grabbed rotten eggs and vegetable leaves and threw them at Drought Jack.

"Just die already, you filthy pirate!"

"My family was killed by you pirates, you deserve what you got!"

"Execute! Execute! Execute!"

A crowd of people watched intently, their voices surging like a tide.

Drought Jack felt as if he were adrift in a vast ocean of people, a lone boat on the verge of capsizing and sinking at any moment. A chilling killing intent flashed in his eyes as he thought to himself:

"Why didn't Boss Kaido send anyone to storm the execution ground?"

Even as he stepped onto the execution platform, Jack the Drought remained in a daze, still unable to believe that Kaido of the Beasts would abandon him.

Throughout the journey, reporters from the World Economic News Agency kept snapping photos, capturing the embarrassing state of Drought Jack.

At the central plaza of Water Seven, amidst the busy work of reporters, video den Den Mushi (snail phone) began to be activated one after another.

People all over the world had already heard the news. Wealthy families who could afford it could watch the live broadcast at any time by simply staying at home and using the video Den Den Mushi. Poor families who couldn't afford it went to the town center, where the video Den Den Mushi were installed, so they could receive the signal simultaneously.

At this moment, the world's attention is focused on Water Seven.

Whether it was the navy, pirates, Celestial Dragons, or nobles, they all took the time to watch the live broadcast.

Anyone with a modicum of sense understands the profound significance of the Navy's public execution of Drought Jack; it might even be a signal that the Navy is declaring war on the Beasts Pirates.

The mountain rain is about to come, the wind is filling the buildings, and the black clouds are pressing down on the city, threatening to destroy it.

Everyone could sense the calm before the storm, and the undercurrents lurking beneath that calm. If any signal appeared, something earth-shattering would happen.

Morgans tidied his appearance and, under the watchful gaze of the video Den Den Mushi, slowly approached the execution platform. He first smiled slightly at Yang Ming, then turned his gaze to Jack the Drought and said:

"15 years ago, the great Pirate King Roger was arrested and imprisoned by the Navy, and was subsequently executed in Loguetown in the East Blue."

"Fifteen years later, Mr. Jack the Drought, who is also a great pirate, what are your thoughts?"

Drought Jack suddenly raised his head, his face turning red and then pale.

Morgans' question seemed to have deeply offended the burly man, who felt his pride had been brutally trampled upon. A fierce glint flashed in his large, bell-like eyes, and he roared angrily:

"roll!"

Morgans' professional smile remained unchanged, but a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

None of the six kings of the underworld are kind-hearted.

Morgans then turned to interview Yang Ming, raising a topic that was quite likely to stir up conflict and controversy:

"Commander Yang Ming is truly a young man of great talent, capturing Jack the Drought at such a young age. In your opinion, is the Beasts Pirates as vulnerable as Jack the Drought?"

Chapter 163 I am the one who accomplishes all good deeds in the world, and I am the one who conveys all evil intentions in the world.

The Kingdom of Tottoland.

This is a kingdom centered around Whole Cake Island and consisting of 34 islands including Cocoa Island, Jam Island, Nut Island, and Cheese Island, belonging to Big Mom Charlotte Linlin, one of the Four Emperors.

Beneath a poetic blue sky and white clouds, wooden houses built from sandwich cookies are scattered throughout the forest. Flowerbeds are filled with colorful flowers, including peonies, plum blossoms, roses, and jasmine, all constructed from brightly colored candies. Delicious fruits hang from sweet chocolate branches, their peels shimmering with the color of rock sugar. A river of milk flows gently by, and the air is filled with a sweet fragrance.

The beautiful scenery before my eyes is like something out of a fairy tale. If you didn't know the inside story, you might mistake it for a paradise on earth. Everywhere you look, you can see all kinds of people from different races, living freely in their colorful clothes.

Along the main road, one can frequently see chess pieces in strange costumes patrolling around.

This group of chess soldiers consisted mainly of Homies, who were white chess pieces. They wore plaid robes, gray trousers, white gloves, and white boots. The infantry soldiers wore orange overcoats and carried pink heart-shaped shields. They walked in a very disciplined manner and dared not overstep the rules.

At the end of the main road stands a magnificent castle and palace.

The Queen of the Kingdom of Totto Land, one of the world-renowned Four Emperors, Big Mom Charlotte Linlin, resides here.

At this moment, at this moment.

Charlotte Linlin sat regally on the throne, with ministers of the Kingdom of Tottoland standing in two rows below her.

Minister of Candy, Charlotte Perospero.

Minister of Flour, Charlotte Katakuri.

Minister of Beans, Charlotte Daifuku.

Charlotte Irwin, the Minister of Scorched Yellow.

Minister of Whipped Cream, Charlotte Opera.

Minister of Biscuits, Charlotte Cracker.

Of the more than thirty ministers, only the Minister of Explosives, Charlotte Snag, was absent; all the others were present.

The Kingdom of Tottoland rarely has the opportunity to gather so many ministers together. Usually, the members of the Charlotte family are busy with their own affairs and expanding their own businesses. They only gather together when there is something particularly important.

This time, Charlotte Linlin specially gathered her children here, not to hold a tea party, but to watch intently as the video Den Den Mushi was broadcasting live.

When the ministers saw Drought Jack being led around in the street like a dog, they were surprised, but also angry.

The strong cannot be humiliated!

What's more, the boy who was leading Drought Jack was none other than a rising star in the Navy Headquarters!

One side is the pirates, the other side is the navy.

His hero is my enemy.

Given the stark opposition in their factions and stances, the members of the Charlotte family naturally leaned towards Jack the Drought. Even though the Four Emperors were at odds with each other, it was still a dispute within the pirate camp. When it came to the Navy, all the pirates were remarkably united in their attitude.

On the execution platform, Morgans posed a rather pointed question to Yang Ming:

"Commander Yang Ming is truly a young man of great talent, capturing Jack the Drought at such a young age. In your opinion, is the Beasts Pirates as vulnerable as Jack the Drought?"

As soon as the words were spoken, the members of the Charlotte family immediately focused their attention.

Morgans, as the president of the World Economic News Agency and one of the six kings of the underworld, can be said to be a veteran. Now that he is here in person, the questions he raises are naturally not to be taken lightly, and there is obviously some deeper meaning behind them.

Because Aunt Charlotte Linlin holds tea parties every now and then, members of the Charlotte family frequently come into contact with Morgans and have a very deep understanding of this tycoon of the press. It is quite fitting to describe this old fox as cunning and shrewd.

Morgans's question contained at least two layers of meaning.

Firstly, it was to test Yang Ming's strength.

Secondly, it was to probe the direction of the navy's strategic intentions.
