One Piece meme: Starting with eight extraordinary skills

With countless pirates and mafia members perishing at the hands of this steel fleet, the people of the West Blue proudly call it the "Invincible Fleet."

They achieved resounding success in military affairs.

Yang Ming also put a lot of effort into publicity.

Named the Dawn Newspaper, it was actually a branch of the Akatsuki organization. Under the leadership of its editor-in-chief, Bellemere, it continuously published various newspapers, magazines, novels, and other works, focusing on describing how miserable the lives of ordinary people were under the threat of the mafia and pirates, as well as the heroic deeds of ordinary people who refused to submit to the mafia.

Fight the Mafia

Covering the Darkness

The Princess's Personal Bodyguard

The Best House Servant

These literary works, written in simple language and from the perspective of ordinary people, depict a series of admirable and moving folk heroes. With their dramatic plots, they evoke strong emotional responses from the general public and generate a tremendous impact.

In the past, ordinary people were unarmed and could only be exploited by the mafia, endure the exploitation of local nobles, and swallow their anger when faced with the humiliation of pirates.

But everything changed when the governor arrived.

Seeing the blood of the mafia members who used to bully and dominate the market, seeing the heads of the once arrogant pirates rolling around, and seeing the nobles who used to ride on the necks of the common people being destroyed, all of this ignited a fire in the hearts of the people!

"Join the navy and fight the nobles!"

"It is our responsibility to protect our homeland!"

The Akatsuki members, who were hiding in the shadows, kept spreading similar catchphrases. The catchy words were easy to learn and remember, and soon they spread throughout the entire West Blue.

The naval branch, which had been left with only an empty shell after all its personnel were transferred, was initially filled with resentment towards Yang Ming for his domineering behavior. However, when they saw countless civilians bringing their own food and even refusing wages to enthusiastically sign up for the army, all the remaining non-commissioned officers were shocked.

What does it mean to be a vast ocean of ordinary people? (Tactical stance: hands on hips!)

In the past, ordinary people had no choice.

But now, all they want is to be upright people!

Picking up guns, these ordinary people, who were usually bullied by pirates, bandits, mafia, and nobles, transformed into naval soldiers who defended their homeland!

"A single spark can start a prairie fire!"

On the wall of the Governor's Mansion hangs a huge map of the Western Sea, which meticulously marks the location and organization of every naval branch.

Yang Ming withdrew his gaze from the newly fully staffed naval branches. He knew very well that these newly arrived naval soldiers could only be considered militia, capable of holding off ordinary pirates and mafia members, but not of being mobilized to suppress bandits.

However, Yang Ming didn't need them to make unnecessary sacrifices; it was enough for them to help him fill the gaps in the defense.

With his back to Kalifa, Yang Ming said in a deep voice:

"Pass down my order to invite the kings of the Western Sea kingdoms to the Flower Kingdom for a meeting."

Yang Ming's words were filled with an undeniable air of authority, which sent a jolt through Kalifa.

It's important to understand that in this world, besides the member countries of the World Government, there are many countries that operate outside this system. Perhaps the member countries will give the Navy Headquarters some face and come to the Flower Country to meet this West Blue Governor, but other countries may not!

After a moment's hesitation, Kalifa gently advised against it:

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

There's nothing wrong with it.

Yang Ming clenched his fist and slammed it heavily onto the map on the wall, saying in a firm and resounding voice:

"In this region of the Western Sea, I will only allow one voice to exist!"

"You can relay my words verbatim to other countries."

A man is most handsome when he is serious, especially when he has the power to decide the life and death of others.

Her gaze lingered on the mesmerizingly perfect profile before her. Kalifa took a deep breath, calmed her turbulent emotions, and immediately began to strictly implement the plan.

Soon after, all the kingdoms, large and small, in the Western Sea received invitations from the Governor's Office at the same time.

"How can it be repaired?"

Upon receiving the invitation, the King of Ilusia was so enraged that he cursed loudly, threw the invitation onto the red carpet, and, still feeling unsatisfied, stomped on it twice as if stepping on the face of the Governor of the Western Sea.

The king only stopped his act of venting his anger when the minister beside him quickly intervened.

"Your Majesty, please consider the bigger picture!"

The regent bowed deeply with both hands clasped and said:

"That Governor of the Western Sea is a notorious executioner, his hands stained with the blood of nobles. If His Majesty refuses the invitation, they might accuse His Majesty of having ties with the Mafia when that invincible fleet arrives on our land. Who knows what terrible things might happen then!"

"Dare he?"

Despite his tough words, the king obediently picked up the invitation from the ground and carefully wiped away the shoe prints and dust as if it were a treasure.

Chapter 197 Fool, our cause is righteous!

The wind rises from the tip of a blade of grass.

Waves begin with gentle ripples.

For the ordinary people of the Flower Country, there is not much difference between today and yesterday or the day before. At most, there is a surge in foreign tourists and many richly dressed dignitaries.

The king from the Kingdom of Ilusia was a middle-aged man of medium height with white hair and beard. He arrived in the kingdom's yellow robe, accompanied by his ministers and a group of guards, stepping into this familiar yet unfamiliar land.

This was not Ian Darruka's first visit to the Flower Country. The Kingdom of Ilucia and the Flower Country are both member states of the World Government, and their ties are closer, with frequent commercial exchanges.

In Iondaruka's memory, the Flower Country was an ancient country that combined gambling, prostitution, and drugs, with countless gambling dens, opium dens, and brothels on every street corner.

But when I returned to the Flower Country today, the shady businesses that used to be everywhere had vanished. Instead, some previously unseen merchants and trading companies had sprung up. The people who used to be addicted to opium had regained some semblance of humanity after getting back on track with normal lives, and were no longer as deformed as before.

Although Ian Darruka was very unwilling to admit it.

But it must be said that all of this is thanks to the Governor of the Western Sea, which has brought a completely new look to the Flower Kingdom.

Even Iondaruka couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy, thinking to himself:

"Why wasn't the governor's mansion originally established in the Kingdom of Ilucia?"

Of course, this idea only flashed through the king's mind; if Yang Ming were to actually move the governor's mansion there, he might not be willing.

Iondaruka had inquired his way here and had heard that the king of the Flower Kingdom was a mere figurehead. In this Flower Kingdom, the people only knew the Governor of the West Sea, but did not know what the king was.

How long has Brigadier General Yang Ming been in the Flower Country?

It hasn't been a full year yet, has it?

In just a few months, Brigadier General Yang Ming has been able to achieve this level of accomplishment; I dare not even imagine what he will be able to do in the future!

What does the fact that the people of the Flower Kingdom live a good life have to do with the King of the Flower Kingdom?

Similarly, in Ian Darruka's eyes, he would not be willing to change the status quo if it would harm his interests.

How can we distribute money to those lowly people?

Ian Daruka's ideas are those of the traditional aristocracy.

In their eyes, ordinary people are merely sheep they raise, entitled to give everything they have. They work hard every day to earn meager wages and have to pay a large amount of taxes. Their beautiful daughters are entitled to be playthings on their beds, and the new things they create and invent are entitled to be given to them unconditionally.

The nobles rested on their ancestors' laurels, enjoying all this with a clear conscience, not only without shame but also with pride.

Within aristocratic circles, there is a saying that is considered gospel by the nobility:

"Why should our family's efforts of generations be defeated by those of you who come from humble backgrounds?"

Ignorance is not terrible.

Brutality is not so terrible.

Human beings' innate arrogance is the truly terrifying thing.

After secretly observing the area along the way, the group finally arrived at the gates of the renowned Governor's Mansion.

As the Grand Steward of the Governor's Palace, Joely Bonney usually manages the servants, but now she is temporarily in charge of entertaining foreign guests.

"Distinguished guests, please follow me in."

Ian Darruka's gaze lingered on Joelie Bonney's face for a long time. It wasn't that the king had never seen a woman before, but he felt as if he had seen this face somewhere before.

Immediately, he finally remembered that the Queen Mother of the South Sea Kingdom of Sobel looked just like this when she was young.

"hiss!"

Ian Darruka secretly gasped, thinking to himself:

"The waters in this governor's mansion run deep. Even a princess of the country is only responsible for receiving foreign guests. Is the governor of the Western Sea really that bold? Isn't he afraid that the infamous tyrant Xiong will cause him trouble?"

The Governor's Mansion is a different world altogether, spacious on the outside and tightly packed on the inside, with a strict layout, sentries every five steps and guards every ten steps, and the Governor's soldiers in full military uniform can be seen everywhere.

Seeing the intense, unyielding killing intent emanating from these governor's soldiers, who had clearly been wreaking havoc recently, it was terrifying to behold. Even the nobles, who were used to bullying men and women, were now keeping a low profile and dared not make a sound on the street.

The Kingdom of Ilucia was the furthest from the Kingdom of Flowers, and by the time Iondaruka arrived at the venue, he was among the last group to arrive.

Looking around, the entire venue was filled with a sea of ​​people.

Even though many kings and nobles wished Yang Ming would die quickly and were not very willing to accept the invitation to attend the meeting, they still reluctantly attended because of the reputation of the Governor of the Western Sea for his cold-blooded and iron-fisted approach, as well as the terrifying achievements of his invincible fleet in recent times. Not a single country was absent.

The meeting doors reopened shortly after everyone had left.

Amidst the tense and anxious gazes of the crowd, a fully armed governor's corps entered in an orderly fashion, lining up along both sides of the gate. The soldiers stood tall and proud, gripping their rifles, exuding an extraordinary aura.

A young brigadier general appeared at the entrance, his back to the glaring sunlight, looking like a divine messenger bathed in the sun. He stepped into the venue, facing a sea of ​​complex gazes, followed by Shiryu of the Rain, Fujitora Issho, and others who filed in one after another.

Inside the door to see the door, the layman to watch the fun.

Ordinary people might just think that the Governor of the West Sea was showing off his power, but those with discerning eyes were shocked to discover that the Governor of the West Sea, who was known for his iron-fisted methods, also had formidable subordinates. Two of them were surprisingly strong, even comparable to vice admirals in the Navy Headquarters.

Shiryu of the Rain!

Fujitora smiled!

These two individuals, placed anywhere, would become renowned figures.

As the saying goes, it's better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix.

But right now, these two powerful figures are willing to follow this Governor of the West Sea, which is quite unusual!

Yang Ming climbed the steps, stepped onto the conference room stage, looked around, quickly counted the number of attendees, and smiled:

"Very good. It seems that everyone is giving me, the Governor of the Western Sea, face. No one is absent."

The king and nobles were extremely embarrassed and gave awkward smiles.
