One Piece meme: Starting with eight extraordinary skills

In fact, he didn't have time to pay attention to these details at the moment. Every time he clashed head-on with Yang Ming, tens of millions of volts of electricity would be transmitted into his body through the contact of his limbs. At first, it was just a tingling sensation, but after more contact, his body gradually became numb and stiff.

Now, Qingjiao can hardly feel any pain in her body, but her whole body is covered with bruises left by Yang Ming, some blue and some purple.

"Am I really going to be defeated by this brat today?"

"Where did Garp find this monstrous disciple? How can someone so young possess such terrifying strength?"

"If my good-for-nothing grandson could achieve even half of this kid's success, I could die in peace, wouldn't I?"

Green Pepper felt incredibly frustrated, with nowhere to vent her anger; this feeling was indescribably awful.

Having retired for many years, Qingjiao has not paid attention to world affairs for a long time. He usually lets his grandson, Lao Cai, handle affairs, so he naturally doesn't know Yang Ming's background.

If he knew that Yang Ming's true strength wasn't what it seemed, but rather that when he drew his sword, even Green Pepper would be utterly ashamed!

Yang Ming kept his eyes and ears open, glancing around frequently out of the corner of his eye.

His battle with the green pepper was so intense that it naturally couldn't escape the notice of those who were interested.

A number of people had already arrived at the buildings surrounding this commercial street. Among them, seven people had an aura comparable to that of Green Pepper, and were clearly the other seven pillars of the Eight Treasures Navy.

Yang Ming's purpose in coming to the Flower Country was not to cause widespread slaughter, as that would violate the Navy's regulations and his character would not allow him to do so.

The Flower Country is, after all, one of the member states of the World Government. It wouldn't make sense for a rank-and-file Marine Commodore to wreak havoc here.

One of the strategies that Yang Ming and Jonathan discussed was to persuade people with reason and bring the Babao Navy under Yang Ming's command!

Yes, you read that right, this is Yang Ming's real purpose for this trip.

Other naval officers would not have such authority; only Yang Ming has it.

Why?

This was all because the Warring States Marshal had granted Yang Ming the authority to lead an army independently!

Let's recall what the marshal of the Warring States period said back then.

"In view of Captain Yang Ming's youth and outstanding achievements, you are hereby awarded the qualification to lead an army independently. You may recruit naval soldiers on your own, up to a maximum of 150, and you shall be responsible for procuring the warships yourself!"

Now, times have changed, and Yang Ming is now a naval commodore, able to recruit even more naval soldiers.

Moreover, Yang Ming was able to exploit a loophole in the rules by only recruiting the eight pillars of the Eight Treasures Navy, while the rest of the Eight Treasures Navy remained under the leadership of these eight pillars.

This also means that Yang Ming can indirectly command this naval force of tens of thousands!

Perhaps in many people's eyes, tens of thousands of people are nothing at all.

It should be noted that a typical naval warship carries only a few hundred naval soldiers.

In the original story, during the Marineford War, the Marine Headquarters only managed to muster 100,000 elite troops.

Once Yang Ming acquires the Eight Treasures Navy, he will truly be the Governor-General of the Western Sea, and no longer just someone with an empty title.

A hundred thoughts flashed through Yang Ming's mind. He knew that in order to achieve his goal, he had to leave an indelible and invincible impression on the eight pillars of the state in order to successfully carry out his plan.

Without a doubt, Green Pepper, who plays a pivotal role in the Babao Water Army, is his best stepping stone!

Yang Ming stood on the bluestone floor, pointing one finger to the sky, exuding an imposing aura.

"Two hundred million volts!"

"Lightning Release! Kirin!"

Dark clouds had gathered in the sky, and the azure lightning illuminated the Flower Kingdom, making it resemble a ghostly realm. Amidst the deafening thunder, everyone looked up in astonishment, utterly shocked by the sight before them. Unfortunately, they lacked formal education and could only express their feelings in one sentence.

Chapter 180: Taking over the Eight Treasures Navy and establishing the Governor's Office

It is not status that brings glory to a person, but rather a person who enhances the status.

Sitting in the council chamber of the Flower Kingdom, Lao Cai and his group watched Yang Mingzheng chatting and laughing with the eight pillars of the Eight Treasures Navy, and they all seemed a little dazed.

Just a moment ago, Grandfather Qingjiao was fighting Yang Ming, looking like they were mortal enemies.

But now, thanks to the life-saving potion provided by Yang Ming, Qingjiao, wrapped in medical bandages all over her body, chatted happily with Yang Ming with a strong voice.

If it were an ordinary naval commander, he wouldn't have such a great deal of face, being treated as an honored guest by eight pillars of the navy, but Yang Ming was clearly not among them.

The personal disciple of naval hero Garp!

The Navy's youngest commodore!

Zefa's most outstanding student!

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

Each of these identities, taken individually, would be enough to make someone boast for a lifetime, but all of them fell on the head of a nine-year-old boy, instantly adding a legendary touch to him.

"Ding!"

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

A lottery wheel appeared in Yang Ming's vision, but the four people around him did not notice it.

The lottery wheel is divided into two categories: Devil Fruits and Techniques.

Devil Fruits: Dark-Dark Fruit, Flame-Flame Fruit...

Techniques: Navy Six Styles, Fishman Karate, Transvestite Kung Fu...

[Hawkeye Swordsmanship]: Learn the swordsmanship of Hawkeye Mihawk.

Various exquisite sword techniques flashed through Yang Ming's mind, leaving him in awe.

Compared to the swordsmanship he once practiced, Hawkeye truly deserves to be called the top swordsman on this sea. Every move he made was in line with the profound meaning of swordsmanship, giving people a sense of the ultimate simplicity.

Putting aside his distracting thoughts, Yang Ming smiled slightly and continued discussing important matters with Qingjiao and the others.

The world is full of goodwill, and the world is all good.

Yang Ming went to great lengths to first knock Qingjiao to the ground so that others would sit down and listen to him speak calmly. Only then could he appeal to their emotions and reason with them, making these eight pillars of the Babao Water Army understand the benefits of siding under the banner of justice.

A strong enough fist can earn the respect of others.

With a powerful background, one can make others hesitant to act against them.

Only when the benefits are tempting enough can strangers be bound together on the same pirate ship.

Yang Ming raised his right hand and said with a smile:

"Gentlemen, I promise that as long as you bring your Eight Treasures Navy to join my ranks, you will receive the following benefits:"

"First, the Navy Headquarters will withdraw the bounty notices for all of you present."

"Secondly, I will establish the Governor's Mansion in the Flower Country, and the Flower Country will become the center of the entire West Sea in the future!"

"Thirdly, I will leverage my connections within the World Government and the Navy Headquarters to issue privateering licenses to the Hachiman Navy! However, they will only be allowed to plunder the seas within my planned area, and there will be time restrictions!"

When Yang Ming presented the three conditions one by one, Qingjiao and the others' eyes lit up.

Having a bounty on your head has no impact on pirates.

However, for generals like them who are essentially trained by the Flower Kingdom, this would cause a lot of unnecessary trouble. Revoking the bounty would clear their names and allow them to attend events like World Government meetings openly and legitimately.

The establishment of the Governor's Office may seem like an ordinary matter, but in reality, it concealed many interests.

The Navy is responsible for protecting the member states and people of the World Government. Once the Governor's Office is established in the Flower Kingdom, the nobles and dignitaries of the major member states of the West Sea will need to frequently travel between them, either to see Yang Ming or to request the Navy to send troops to suppress the bandits.

When nobles and dignitaries of the kingdom went out, they could not go alone; they always had to travel by armed ships, with at least one or two hundred people on each ship.

The kingdoms of the Western Sea are teeming with powerful and influential figures, and with so many people coming and going, they all have to take care of their basic needs in the Flower Kingdom.

This back-and-forth naturally generates economic demand, which in turn drives the development of the Flower Kingdom's industries and solves the problems of employment and food security for the people.

Of course, Yang Ming wouldn't do a losing business. When the time comes, he will use the space anchor points to transport New Hope Company's iron products, Dinosaur Chamber of Commerce's life potions, Sky Island's special products, and Carrera Company's ships over, which will become hot-selling products here.

In this way, the Flower Kingdom can be used as the center to radiate outwards to the entire West Sea, creating a commercial hub.

Of the three conditions, the most important is naturally the license of marque!

This is a privilege that only the Seven Warlords of the Sea possess; how could it not be tempting?

Although Yang Ming had warned the eight pillars of the Qingjiao group that the privateering license had restrictions on the sea area and time, the opportunity to make a huge fortune in a short period of time was right in front of them, and only a fool would refuse.

Even a seasoned veteran like Qingjiao agreed to Yang Ming's request without hesitation when faced with huge profits!

As Yang Ming watched the eight pillars of the Babao Navy sign their names and leave their fingerprints on the contract, he sneered inwardly.

Yang Ming would never allow these people to rob ordinary people; otherwise, how would he be any different from a pirate?

The situation in the West Blue is extremely complex. Some member states of the World Government, such as the Flower Country, are ostensibly kingdoms, but in reality, they support an army comparable to pirates, such as the Happo Navy. Other kingdoms are controlled by the Mafia and have actually become dens of iniquity for the Mafia.

Information obtained by the Navy Headquarters' classified special forces indicates that the largest mafia in the West Blue is now ruled by Becky Capone's gang, who is suspected of having the support of Shiki the Golden Lion, which allowed him to receive a large amount of money and manpower in the early stages, helping the Capone gang to expand rapidly in a short period of time.

Today, at least three kingdoms in the West Sea have been completely controlled by the Capone gang and have become puppet kingdoms.

Yang Ming intended to use the Eight Treasures Navy to eliminate the Capone gang, a malignant tumor in the Western Sea.

A license of marque is like a delicious piece of cheese right in front of a mousetrap!

These people from Qingjiao aren't stupid; it's just that when the profits are big enough, they're willing to take the risk!

After discussing the important matters, Yang Ming turned and left.

As Yang Ming passed by Lao Cai, seeing that he still looked dazed, he stood on tiptoe, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile:

"From now on, we're all family. Work hard!"

Old Cai shuddered and finally came to his senses.

When he looked up, Yang Ming had already disappeared.

Old Cai felt a chill run down his spine. He reached inside his clothes and found a handful of cold sweat. Still shaken, he thought to himself:

"I used to think that this child was no ordinary person, and that he would become a dragon once he encountered favorable winds and clouds."

"But now it seems that this person is a powerful outsider. Can we, the local bullies, really compete with him?"

At this moment, as Lao Cai watched the people in the room celebrating as if they had won the lottery, a sense of unease suddenly settled over him. It seemed that things were not as simple as they had imagined; they appeared to have been sold out and were now counting the money for Yang Ming.

After both sides reached a consensus, the West Sea Governor's Mansion was gradually built up on a planned vacant lot in the Flower Kingdom with a large number of people.

After months of hard work, the West Sea Governor's Mansion, covering an area of ​​over 100 acres, stands in the city. High walls surround the mansion, covered with a thick layer of white plaster, giving it a beautiful and elegant appearance while also effectively resisting artillery fire.

The Governor's Mansion is composed of dozens of buildings, with watchtowers arranged in a staggered pattern. The walls are equipped with pairs of protruding bunkers that overlap and interlock with the eaves. Firepower can be distributed on the eaves, forming a three-dimensional firepower network that combines the upper and lower parts. Any enemy that dares to attack the Governor's Mansion will suffer unimaginable firepower.
