One Piece meme: Starting with eight extraordinary skills

Akatsuki!

Lafitte's pupils constricted slightly.

He never expected that this excessively young governor, in addition to building an invincible fleet that was famous all over the world, had secretly cultivated a mysterious organization!

After this period of development, thanks to the efforts of Bellemere and Buggy the Clown, the number of peripheral members of the Akatsuki organization has exceeded one thousand, distributed throughout the Grand Line and the West Blue. There are more than three hundred Akatsuki members in the Flower Country alone.

After a brief period of trepidation and unease, Lafitte was filled with confidence.

"Perhaps, following this governor might not be such a bad thing!"

Lafitte joined the Akatsuki organization and immediately began organizing manpower, investigating intelligence, analyzing the situation, secretly deploying resources, and executing plans—everything was done in an orderly manner.

In this area of ​​the Western Sea, an unseen undercurrent was stirring.

Conquest, slaughter, assassination, and conspiracy became the main themes of this period.

Ordinary people have no idea how much negative impact all of this has on them. Instead, they see one mafia after another collapsing in the news published by the Dawn newspaper, freeing countless people from the exploitation and debts of the mafia.

While the West Sea was bustling with activity, something else was also happening high in the sky, more than 10,000 meters above sea level.

Several islands swept across the sky, and countless clouds drifted away beneath them, allowing a glimpse of the island nations passing by below.

On the island, the row houses have shed their disguise, revealing rows of menacing steel cannons poking out of their doors, ready to repel the enemy at any moment.

The pirates, exuding a fierce and courageous aura, stood in neat rows outside the house, their heads wrapped in red bandanas. They held steel swords in their right hands and modern flintlock pistols in their left. Judging from their posture and preparation, an uninformed person might mistake them for an unknown naval force.

Shiki the Golden Lion floated in front of the group, and the famous swords Sakura Ju and Kuki seemed to sense their master's mood, humming excitedly and emitting a barely perceptible sword sound.

"My most loyal generals."

Shiki the Golden Lion, looking radiant and having regained his former domineering aura, pointed to the Flower Country islands that were gradually becoming more visible ahead and said:

"I have only one simple order for you: kill them all, burn them all, loot them all. Don't hold back!"

Upon hearing this, the pirates' eyes gleamed with a ferocious light like wolves, and they all raised their steel swords, erupting in a thunderous cheer.

For these pirates who live hand to mouth, being able to unleash their animalistic instincts without restraint is the happiest thing in the world.

As expected of a legendary pirate, Shiki the Golden Lion, with just a few words, mobilized the morale of his pirates before the battle even began!

Chapter 199 The King's Burden, The King's Judgment, The King is Unstoppable!

The Flower Kingdom, having stood firm through the ages, has recently been revitalized with a unique vitality. The music is magnificent, the air is filled with the sounds of string and wind instruments, songs and dances are flourishing, and the people live in peace and prosperity.

The streets were bustling with traffic, with merchants from all over the West Sea coming and going. Shops lined both sides of the street, selling novelties from the Grand Line. Neon lights shone everywhere, and the air was filled with a trendy and fashionable atmosphere.

Just as the people were reveling in the peaceful scene of the past, they suddenly felt the sky darken and looked up.

It’s okay if you don’t look at it, but you will be shocked when you look at it!

Several enormous islands floated in the sky, rapidly approaching the governor's mansion and casting large shadows on the ground.

As people approached the island, they could even see the scenery on it clearly.

These floating islands are covered with lush vegetation and are a verdant landscape. A man-made dirt road connects them, and small fortress-like houses rise from the ground, like a winding ribbon encircling the two sides of the islands. The menacing cannons in the houses are lined up and aimed at the governor's mansion not far away. At a command, the cannons fire in unison.

"Boom! Boom! Boom..."

Thick smoke billowed from the cannon muzzle as dark, solid shells traced graceful arcs through the air before falling to the ground.

"Enemy attack!"

At this moment, this unfamiliar and distant word comes to mind for ordinary people.

They simply couldn't fathom where this enemy got the courage to challenge the authority of the Governor's Office.

The pedestrians on the street scattered like birds and beasts, rushing home, and many even prayed secretly that the young governor would be safe and sound.

Clusters of floating islands emerged from the clouds and hovered in the air, the islands dark and boundless, their cliffs as sharp as if carved by a knife and axe, reaching to the sky.

One by one, the burly pirates took out pills from their pockets and swallowed them. They then rode on the rare beasts raised on the floating island, connected to each other with a special device. They then jumped off the floating island, and parachutes in their backpacks opened, allowing them to land safely.

A strangely-looking ship's doctor stood to the side, watching as if he were observing a meticulously crafted work of art. He watched as the pirates took the drug, their bodies grew enormous, their eyes bloodshot, and a cruel glint in them.

Indigo, a combat crew member and ship's doctor for the New Flying Pirates.

On this floating island, there is a plant called IQ. Indigo modified the DNA in IQ into SiQ, thus creating a rather terrifying potion that not only makes the island's rare beasts grow to enormous size and become ferocious, but also greatly increases the fighting power of pirates.

The only drawback is that if humans take this drug, it will harm their health, and if they take too much, it may even shorten their lifespan.

Does anyone else find this face familiar?

That's right, this is the medicine that the fishmen in Fishman Island's Fishman Street take.

However, the fish-people were taking an energy steroid called ES, which was a defective product with even greater side effects.

The New Flying Pirates developed this deadly drug in order to create an invincible army for Shiki the Golden Lion, helping him sweep away all enemies on the sea.

The research and development process requires a lot of manpower and resources, as well as huge amounts of funds. Relying solely on the Mafia's payments is not enough, so the defective ES drugs are sold off and enter the market through black market channels.

The side effects of the ES drug are very obvious. Humans would die after using it once, and only a race with a constitution like fishmen could withstand the torment.

In contrast, siq drugs have relatively fewer side effects and can stimulate the body's potential in a short period of time.

Shiki the Golden Lion was a legendary pirate who had been famous for many years. There was no reason why he didn't know the principle that even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit. Since he was determined to get rid of Yang Ming, who was a thorn in his side, he naturally chose to go all out with his cards, not giving the enemy any chance to turn the tables.

"Roar!" "Roar!" "Roar..."

One after another, the rare beasts landed safely, their roars emanating from deep within their throats.

These rare beasts are strangely shaped, much larger than ordinary wild animals, with stronger physiques, sharper fangs, and more bulging muscles.

The pirates riding on the backs of the rare beasts squeezed their legs hard against the beasts' bellies, urging them to charge.

These floating islands had been sailing at an altitude of over 10,000 meters, far beyond the watchtower soldiers' detection range, until the floating islands made an emergency landing, which alerted the watchtower soldiers to the enemy situation and prompted the urgent call to arms.

Having traversed the seas for many years, Shiki the Golden Lion is naturally well-versed in military strategy and knows that speed is of the essence in warfare, so as to catch the enemy off guard.

Of course, this might be enough to achieve instant success against ordinary enemies, causing the entire defense line to collapse.

however,

The reason why the Governor's Mansion can make countless criminals in the Western Sea turn pale is not only because of Yang Ming alone, but also because it is a place where dragons and tigers hide. In addition to Yang Ming, there are many other powerful people here.

Since Yang Ming took office as the Governor of the Western Sea, he has been stirring up all sorts of big moves, such as eradicating pirates, eliminating the mafia, confiscating and exterminating the families of nobles with many crimes, and even secretly sabotaging some kings to cause their unexpected deaths. This has long aroused the dissatisfaction and resentment of many vested interests, and the assassination attempts against Yang Ming have never stopped.

Assassination and poisoning were commonplace.

Unfortunately, once any assassin entered the governor's mansion, they seemed to vanish into thin air, never to be seen again.

Even if an assassin managed to disguise himself and infiltrate the governor's mansion's servants, intending to poison Yang Ming's rice with a highly toxic substance purchased at a high price on the Grand Line, he would still be unable to kill him.

A blind swordsman stood at the window, his eyes, filled with white, seemingly able to see the rain of cannonballs falling from the sky. He slowly drew a sword from his cane, and as the blade slashed forward, a purple spiral of gravitational magnetic field shot out, leaping one after another among the cannonballs like a chain of lightning.

"Gravity Blade! Fierce Tiger!"

The sudden gravitational pull caused the projectiles to abruptly stop, damaging them from the outside in. This damaged the explosives encased in steel, causing the already unstable explosives to explode immediately.

Before the shells even reached the governor's mansion, they exploded high in the sky, scattering fragments of steel like petals falling from the sky.

"Ok?"

Shiki the Golden Lion had anticipated that his campaign against Yang Ming would not be so easy.

However, all of that is based on Yang Ming's strong strength.

But he never expected that one of Yang Ming's subordinates would have such strength, and that the Devil Fruit ability the subordinate possessed was exactly what countered and restrained his Float-Float Fruit!

"A user of the Gravity-Gravity Fruit?"

"Where did that brat find such a master?"

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

The common misconception that possessing a Devil Fruit grants one the power to become a superhuman is a huge misunderstanding.

Each Devil Fruit possesses its own unique will, seeking out individuals who resonate with it and allowing those individuals to acquire the Devil Fruit through various coincidences.

If you look at all the Devil Fruit users in the original work, you will find a very interesting feature: the personality of a Devil Fruit user will correspond to the Devil Fruit they possess.

Ace is passionate and considers his family and friends an important part of his life, which aligns with his Flame-Flame Fruit.

Blackbeard is inherently patient and ruthless. He was able to lie low in the Whitebeard Pirates for decades for a vague and elusive goal, which suited him perfectly with the Dark-Dark Fruit.

Fujitora Issho was born blind, but he never gave up on himself. Instead, he was open-minded and developed superb swordsmanship, which, in a way, suited him perfectly to the multiple fruits.

Life is unpredictable, full of ups and downs.

Doesn't this perfectly match the image of abundant fruit?

This characteristic of Devil Fruits seems to have a certain fatalistic element to it.

Having sailed the seas for decades, Shiki the Golden Lion had naturally heard of this legend and understood that the users of these two mutually restraining Devil Fruits would be people with conflicting personalities.

"interesting!"

Golden Lion Stitch stood at the edge of the floating island, arms crossed, staring at the several figures that appeared inside the governor's mansion. A subtle curve appeared on the corner of his mouth, which was holding a cigar.

Standing atop the eaves of the governor's mansion, Yang Ming looked down at the large group of pirates outside the city walls. Under the influence of the siq drug, each of them had swelled up horizontally, resembling miniature giants, their bodies crimson as blood, emitting wisps of steam.

Of course, the most important person is the peerless man on the floating island.

"Is it finally here?"

"All that planning over such a long time wasn't for nothing!"

A chilling, murderous wind whipped the navy cloaks, and a windmill-like pattern gradually appeared in Yang Ming's dark pupils, his eyes gleaming with a scarlet light.

Yang Ming looked around and saw that Tina and the others had already arrived and were waiting for his orders.

With a clang, Yang Ming drew his Zanpakuto from his waist. Flames and lightning swirled around the blade, making the boy's face appear sacred and inviolable.

At this moment, Yang Ming recalled the sins he had carried on his shoulders during this period of time.

Wipe out the Mafia, purge the nobles, and assassinate the king.

Some people don't understand his actions, some despise him as a hypocrite who claims to be righteous, and others curse him as an ambitious henpecked husband.

The gossip and rumors of outsiders could not deter the young man's determination.

The blade pointed diagonally at Shiki the Golden Lion, the boy's voice ringing out powerfully.

"The king bears the burden, the king judges, the king is unstoppable!"

At that moment, the young man exuded a hint of kingly demeanor.
