One Piece meme: Starting with eight extraordinary skills

Chapter 235 There are no eternal friends, only eternal interests.

Who are our friends?

Who are our enemies?

This is not only the primary issue for Yang Ming to promote reform in Wano Country, but also the primary issue for changing this corrupt world.

At first glance, Yang Ming's enemies in Wano Country are the Beasts Pirates and Orochi, but in reality, they also include the powerful clans with intricate relationships within Wano Country.

In villages and towns like Bianli Village, many villagers have lost their land and houses and can only exchange cheap labor for daily necessities. They are proletarians and are the key groups that Yang Ming needs to unite with.

Those aristocratic families rooted in Wano Country also fall into different categories.

Families like the Kurozumi family, who have completely sided with the Beasts Pirates, are key targets for Yang Ming to crack down on.

As for powerful clans like the Tianyue family, Shuangyue family, Fengyue family, and Yuyue family, it is necessary to divide and weaken them, winning over some while striking down others.

As Yang Ming eloquently and thoroughly analyzed the various social strata of Wano Country, Momousagi Gion's eyes shone even brighter.

With a gentle touch to Yang Ming's smooth forehead, Momousagi Gion's bright red lips curved slightly upward.

"Little brother, sometimes I really don't know how your brain works, how you can be so smart and see things that others can't."

As she spoke, Momousagi Gion's chest heaved with waves.

It must be said that Momousagi Gion has an excellent figure, ranking among the top three of all the women Yang Ming has ever seen. Perhaps because she drinks milk regularly, her breasts are quite well-developed, giving one the urge to climb up and survey the surrounding landscape.

Fortunately, Yang Ming was already used to Momousagi Gion's affectionate behavior, so he wasn't embarrassed.

Yang Ming gently patted Momousagi Gion's hand and said meaningfully:

"There are no permanent friends, only permanent interests."

"If we want to unite the majority, we need to firmly tie the interests of the majority to our own."

A few days later.

As a witness to the events of that time, Ashura Doji honestly recounted the series of events surrounding the conflict between Kozuki Oden and Kaido of the Beasts. Bellemere knew exactly how to promote this to maximize her benefits and help Yang Ming win the hearts of the people in Wano Country.

Thus, after Bellemere's polishing, the novel about Kozuki Oden's deeds was published by the Shining Newspaper, radiating outwards from Kuri to the entire Wano Country.

The strongest second-generation heir wakes up one night to find himself the strongest in the world.

The prince returns to find his wife in a brothel; with a single command, 100,000 warriors are mobilized to boost his wife's sales figures?

Kozuki Oden: I Learned to Slay Gods in a Mental Hospital

Novels like these, with their exaggerated style and popular appeal, quickly spread among the people.

Seventy percent true, threety percent false, these stories are so convincingly crafted that it's hard to tell whether they're true or false. If you're not a person directly involved, you simply can't tell whether these novels are real or fake, and you can easily be stirred up by their stories and memories.

The people of Wano Country then realized that Kozuki Oden was such a person. He might not have been brilliant and mighty, but he was at least powerful and kind-hearted, and wholeheartedly wanted to open Wano Country to the world and drive out the Beasts Pirates.

However, Kaido of the Beasts and Orochi were too cunning. They held a large number of hostages and forced Kozuki Oden to submit. Oden pretended to be stupid for several years, but in the end, he was defeated by Kaido of the Beasts' conspiracy.

At this moment, while the common people sympathized with Kozuki Oden, they also harbored even greater hatred for Kaido of the Beasts. They were particularly furious with Kurozumi Orochi, who had acted as an accomplice, wishing they could skin him alive and tear him apart.

Emotions are a potent medicine, capable of amplifying the situation.

Circumstances create heroes, and heroes create circumstances.

Yang Ming was the one who created the circumstances.

With Yang Ming's covert instigation, a unified consensus gradually formed among the people of Wano Country amidst this atmosphere of hostility.

The Revolutionary Army naturally wouldn't let such an opportunity pass. Working together with Yang Ming, they launched wave after wave of uprisings in the territory controlled by the Beasts Pirates, causing Kaido of the Beasts a lot of headaches and annoyances lately.

For this reason, Yang Ming specifically called the Warring States Marshal.

"The Revolutionary Army is rampant and arrogant within Wano Country, and is suspected of having reached a secret agreement with Kaido of the Beasts. They are currently recruiting soldiers on a large scale."

This intelligence report was three parts true and seven parts false, completely designed to deceive the Warring States Marshal and cause him to make a wrong judgment.

Thanks to Wano Country's closed-door policy, the Navy Headquarters' secret special forces have difficulty landing in Wano Country and are completely unaware of the situation there.

The Warring States Marshal had always trusted Yang Ming and never imagined that Yang Ming would deceive him.

Therefore, the Warring States Marshal convened an emergency meeting.

It is now the year 1515 of the Maritime Calendar. Yang Ming has been the new admiral of the Navy Headquarters for several months. During this time, he has used his authority to promote the governor-general to higher positions.

Under Yang Ming's command, Fujitora Issho has become a vice admiral in the Navy Headquarters thanks to his formidable strength. Smoker and Jonathan were promoted to vice admirals by Yang Ming, while Tina, Drake, and Dadi Mastasson were successively promoted to rear admirals.

Just like in the original story, Jonathan becomes the commander of the Navy's G-8 branch.

Shiryu of the Rain is a vice admiral in the Marine Headquarters and is still stationed in the West Blue. Due to Admiral Borsalino's excuse that he was shot in the knee by an arrow and needed long-term treatment in the hospital, Shiryu of the Rain took over as governor of the West Blue and continued the strategy that Yang Ming had previously implemented in the West Blue.

Ain, Binz, Shuzo, Shuen, Kuina, and others were also promoted one after another.

The force known as the Governor's Army has now begun to make its appearance within the Navy Headquarters.

The meeting convened by Marshal Sengoku was about the Revolutionary Army, and only a Vice Admiral from the Navy Headquarters was qualified to participate.

Fujitora Issho and Smoker, among others, sat upright in their chairs, quietly listening to the orders of Fleet Admiral Sengoku.

"The Revolutionary Army is related to the World Government's rule, and now that they are hiding in Wano Country, they are suspected of colluding with the Beast Pirates. If these two groups unite, they will inevitably form a powerful evil force that will have a significant impact on the world situation."

"Therefore, we must re-evaluate the Beasts Pirates. If necessary, even at great risk, our Navy must be prepared to wage war against the Beasts Pirates!"

As soon as the Warring States Marshal finished speaking, the faces of all the naval commanders turned solemn.

Guizhu Vergo's lips twitched, and he felt a growing anxiety.

Now, Kaido of the Beasts is his hope for avenging his young master Doflamingo, and he doesn't want the Beasts Pirates to be destroyed.

"Cough cough."

Vergo coughed a few times and raised his hand, indicating that he had something to say.

At the nod of approval from the Warring States Marshal, Vergo slowly stood up, looked around, and said calmly:

"I personally think that the Revolutionary Army's activities in Wano Country are quite illogical."

"As everyone here knows, the Revolutionary Army leader Dragon's goal is to overthrow the World Government. For a long time, he has had no dealings with the Beasts Pirates. Now, there are sudden reports that the Revolutionary Army is recruiting in Wano Country and there are even rumors of an alliance with the Beasts Pirates. This is all just Shura's word, and its authenticity needs further confirmation."

Admiral Kuzan of Aokiji raised an eyebrow and stared at Vergo with a meaningful look:

Are you questioning Yang Ming?

Facing the piercing gaze of Admiral Kuzan, Vergo remained unfazed and calmly stated:

"I have always admired Admiral Shura's character and achievements, and I do not believe that Admiral Shura would lie through his teeth and do anything that would harm the interests of the Navy. However, this matter is of great importance, and any wrong decision could lead to an imbalance in the world situation. I urge the Marshal to think it over carefully."

Vergo's public persona within the Navy was that of a naval officer who was not afraid of power and had a strong sense of justice.

His remarks did not damage his prestige; on the contrary, they resonated with some naval officers.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes.

Yang Ming's smooth sailing career inevitably attracted jealousy from others.

Moreover, the military force under Yang Ming has now begun to gain momentum and shows a tendency to challenge the power of the *** and the hawks, a fact that any discerning person can see.

Admiral Sakazuki of Akainu nodded emphatically, affirming Vergo's statement, and then said:

"Vergo's words make a lot of sense. Wano Country has been closed off for many years, and we know too little about Wano Country and the Beast Pirates. We cannot just rely on Yang Ming's words to decisively send troops to attack the Beast Pirates."

"Moreover, the World Government and the Five Elders have been demanding that we search for the whereabouts of the Night Pirates worldwide, which also involves a considerable portion of our Navy's military strength. If we were to clash with the Beasts Pirates at this time, resulting in damage to the Navy's strength, the situation on the Grand Line would completely spiral out of control!"

During the meeting, everyone had their own opinion on this matter, each claiming to be right.

Overall, the majority of naval commanders disagreed with sending troops.

This is a battle fought without bloodshed.

Fujitora smiled silently, head bowed, sipping his tea as if he were merely a passerby, not participating in the meeting's discussion. He thought to himself:

"As expected, the meeting chaired by Marshal Zhan Guo unfolded exactly as the captain had predicted."

Just as the two sides were arguing fiercely, Lieutenant General Smoker pulled a stack of photos from his pocket and slammed them on the table, attracting the attention of the attendees.

Even during the meeting, Smoker still had three cigars dangling from his lips, his collar slightly open, revealing his rock-solid chest. He raised his head and said:

"Look, what is this?"

Everyone stared intently, and when they saw the contents of the photo on the table, they all looked surprised.

The photo shows Vice Admiral Doberman and others who defected from the Navy Headquarters, standing behind Dragon, the leader of the Revolutionary Army!

Chapter 236 News of Ace's Debut

Within the Navy Headquarters, the defection of naval admirals is a taboo subject.

Needless to say, the defection of seven vice admirals from the Navy Headquarters, led by Vice Admiral Doberman, was unprecedented and the most egregious incident in the history of the Navy.

Information about Vice Admirals Doberman, Onigumo, Stromberg, Firemount, John Garndall, Laclowa, and Lontz was erased by the Navy as much as possible.

Meanwhile, the former subordinates of these seven vice admirals, if still remaining at the Navy Headquarters, will be subject to a secret investigation, with their backgrounds, interpersonal relationships, job positions, and character and morality all thoroughly examined.

Over the past few months, the Navy Headquarters has received intelligence that three vice admirals of the giant race—Vice Admiral John Garndall, Vice Admiral Laclowa, and Vice Admiral Ronz—have returned to the giant kingdom of Elbaf.

The Kingdom of Giants, Elbaf, is known as the world's strongest nation, possessing military power that surpasses all other kingdoms. The king of the Kingdom of Giants is also incredibly powerful, at least at the level of a Yonko's vice-president, and there are even rumors that he possesses strength comparable to the Four Emperors. However, because he has not made many moves, the outside world has only remained in the speculation stage.

In addition, the giant kingdom of Elbaf has a considerable number of powerful giants, many of whom are as strong as the Seven Warlords of the Sea. Even though the giant race is small in number, their power is in no way inferior to that of the Four Emperors.

Even though the navy knew the whereabouts of these three giant traitors, they dared not rashly launch a campaign against them, lest they suffer huge losses. They merely issued a few perfunctory condemnations.

For this very reason, the remaining four naval traitors are of particular importance, especially Vice Admiral Doberman, who has become a thorn in the side of the Navy. They are eager to find out where the traitors are hiding, to deal a devastating blow to them, and to restore the Navy's prestige.

Unfortunately, it backfired.

The Navy and the CP organization searched the world for the four naval traitors to no avail. The four traitors, led by Vice Admiral Doberman, seemed to have vanished into thin air. No matter how hard they searched, they could not find any clues.

It's easy to imagine that when Lieutenant General Smoker pulled out the photos, especially those involving four traitors and the leader of the Revolutionary Army, they immediately attracted the attention of Fleet Admiral Sengoku and others.

After taking the photograph handed to him by Lieutenant General Smoker, Fleet Admiral Sengoku examined it carefully and couldn't help but frown.

In the photograph, Lieutenant General Doberman, Lieutenant General Onigumo, Lieutenant General Stolberg, and Lieutenant General Fire Mountain are lined up in order, seemingly having a pleasant conversation with the leader of the Revolutionary Army.

The background of the photo is too blurry to make out where it is.

But the Warring States Marshal was a very shrewd man. He was intelligent from a young age and had a photographic memory. He was familiar with the customs, cultures, and geography of various places around the world. After thinking about it for a while, he recognized that the architecture in the background of the photo had a similar style to Wano Country. It was highly likely that the photo was taken in Wano Country.

"Smoker, where did you get this photo?"

Smoker crossed his arms and said calmly:
