One Piece meme: Starting with eight extraordinary skills

"Naturally, it was General Shura who handed it over to me, instructing me to bring it up at the meeting at the appropriate time."

Upon hearing this, the Warring States Marshal habitually adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose, revealing a white light reflected off the lenses, which concealed his sharp, hawk-like eyes behind them.

Whether the Beasts Pirates colluded with the Revolutionary Army is true remains to be seen.

Therefore, the connection between the revolutionary army leader Long and the four naval traitors, whether true or false, must be taken very seriously.

Don't forget that the leader of the Revolutionary Army, Dragon, is a traitor to the Navy and shares common interests with Vice Admiral Doberman and others. If these four vice admirals have indeed defected to the Revolutionary Army, it would be an extremely serious matter, meaning that the Navy Headquarters would no longer be a monolithic entity, and in the future, naval officers with ulterior motives might follow suit and turn to the Revolutionary Army!

Oni-bamboo Vergo was secretly pleased with himself, thinking that he had dissuaded Fleet Admiral Sengoku from attacking the Beasts Pirates with his silver tongue.

But the moment Smoker pulled out the photo, his heart skipped a beat, and he knew something was wrong.

Before the Warring States Marshal could ponder the matter deeply, Vergo immediately offered his advice:

"Fleet Admiral, even if Smoker's information is absolutely certain that four traitors have defected to the Revolutionary Army, our Navy is already expending a lot of manpower and resources to counterbalance the Four Emperors and to intercept and suppress the newly emerging pirates on the Grand Line."

"Especially in the last month or two, a new pirate star, Fire Fist Ace, has emerged on the Grand Line. This person has great potential and has grown rapidly in a short period of time. If he is allowed to continue to grow, he will inevitably become a huge scourge. In order to arrest and kill this kid, we have already lost six warships and hundreds of marines. If we transfer our manpower at this time, new pirate stars like Fire Fist Ace will no longer be able to hold us back!"

Vergo's assertion was so convincing that it put the Warring States Marshal in a difficult position.

Taking out a newly printed wanted poster, Fleet Admiral Sengoku looked at Portgas D. Ace's beaming smile and gritted his teeth, thinking to himself:

"That old bastard Garp, how could he have raised such a scoundrel!"

"Ah!"

Inside the deep-sea prison, Garp sneezed, looked around, and thought to himself:

"Who's talking badly about me behind my back?"

"Ah!"

On a certain island along the Grand Line.

Ace was riding on a giant beast, running around wildly, when suddenly the beast's body shuddered and he sneezed violently.

Ace rubbed his nose with his finger and frowned.

"Who is talking badly about me behind my back?"

Amidst the ongoing controversy within the Navy, a convoy sped along a dirt road, heading towards Amigasa Village in the Kuri region of Wano Country.

The caravan consisted of several carriages and employed ronin to protect them on either side.

Inside the central carriage, a slender young woman of marriageable age knelt on a soft couch, holding a novel in her hands, deep in thought with a furrowed brow.

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?

The novel's title is extremely strange, giving it a very absurd feel. It is a novel recently published by the Guangming Daily, in which the male protagonist is Kozuki Oden and the female protagonist is Kozuki Toki.

Based on the true story of Kozuki Oden, the novel depicts a bizarre and intricate tale.

"How dare someone slander Father and Mother like this! It is absolutely unforgivable!"

The young girl was clearly in the heat of the moment, yet every frown and smile possessed a unique charm that, far from being repulsive, actually made one's mouth water.

The young girl knelt on the soft couch, her back as straight as an old pine tree. Her beautiful long emerald hair had been carefully styled into a hairstyle befitting a noble princess: long, straight hair with bangs that reached her cheeks. This hairstyle could perfectly modify her face shape and at the same time highlight her dignified and elegant temperament.

She wore a pink floral headdress, her embroidered kimono was impeccably tailored, and the clothes were embroidered with lifelike peacock patterns. Tall wooden clogs were placed beside her, giving her the air of a lady from a prominent family.

Judging solely from her appearance and attire, it's incredibly difficult to associate her with the top courtesan of Wano Country; instead, she evokes the impression of, "Wow, she's a princess!" (Shulai)

The carriage slowly came to a stop, and a clear, cold voice came from outside:

"Miss, we've arrived at Ubikasa Village."

Xiao Zi put down the novel in her hand, carefully placed it in a brocade box, then took out a wooden zither from the box beside her, put on tall wooden clogs, and stepped down from the carriage with the help of a maid.

A wave of heat hit her face, and Xiao Zi instinctively squinted.

Bianli Village was even more lively than she had imagined. In terms of scale and population alone, it was no less than that of the nearby Boluo Town, and even surpassed it. People were coming and going everywhere, as if they were celebrating some kind of grand festival, and everyone had a smile on their face.

Seeing Xiao Zi's blank expression, the maid beside her whispered in her ear:

"Miss, today is the birthday of that Asura General. It is said that a banquet will be held for all families, and everyone can eat and drink for free."

With a soft "hmm," Xiao Zi gripped the xylophone tightly and, with lotus-like steps, slowly walked towards the most magnificent building in Amigasa Village. This was her job; they were the most prestigious brothel in Wano Country, and today they were hired to celebrate the birthday of that Shura General.

The appearance of Xiao Zi and her group all fell under Yang Ming's watchful eye.

At this moment, he was lying on a rattan chair, perched atop the tallest building in Bianli Village, looking down over the entire village, holding a triangular glass in his hand, the glass filled with a beautifully colored red wine.

Yang Ming watched quietly as Bianli Village underwent a dramatic transformation under his leadership, and the sense of accomplishment he felt was truly remarkable.

Meanwhile, Yang Ming noticed a system notification from a few days ago.

"Ding!"

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

A lottery wheel slowly appeared in my field of vision, displaying three categories of prizes: hero skins, runes, and hero skills.

Hero Skins: Wuling Immortal Lord, Phoenix Seeking Phoenix, Flying Balance...

Inscriptions: Hunting, Eagle Eye, Mutation...

Hero Skills: Dragon's Roar, Thunderous Dragon, Word of Power Barrier...

【Longevity】: Blue inscription, adds a little vitality.

Nowadays, it's becoming increasingly difficult to win the desired rewards from the system's lottery.

Fortunately, Yang Ming is no longer the boy who relied on system rewards.

With his back to Momousagi Gion, Tina, and the others, Yang Ming swirled the wine glass in his hand and said:

"You've already made all the arrangements, haven't you?"

Momousagi Gion nodded slightly and said:

"We are ready. Recently, the Beasts Pirates and Orochi have lowered their guard against us. Once we incite the people to revolt, it will be the perfect opportunity."

Chapter 237 Do you want to leave this world silently and without anyone knowing?

"Chirp!"

A firework shot straight into the sky, bursting into a dazzling display of light and color.

This was just the beginning. Fireworks continued to bloom, their vibrant colors a feast for the eyes of those who came to Bianli Village.

Now that the sun has set, tables and chairs are set out on the wide bluestone floor of Bianli Village, and the tables are laden with a sumptuous feast: rice balls, sushi, sashimi, takoyaki, tempura, soba noodles, fried chicken nuggets, pickled cabbage...

The people invited to the banquet gathered around the table, and everyone's face was filled with happy smiles.

Xiaoyu held a thin string in her right hand, the other end of which was tied to a balloon. The balloon was decorated with a raccoon cat as a cartoon character, and it looked quite cute.

In other kingdoms, such balloons are commonplace, but for Jade, they are treasures she never dared to dream of before.

"All of this is thanks to Brother Yang Ming's kindness!"

Happy birthday to Brother Yang Ming today!

Xiaoyu silently celebrated for Yang Ming, tilting her head towards the most magnificent building in Bianli Village.

That was where Yang Ming and his group were stationed. A huge open-air platform extended from the top floor of the building. Under the illumination of many neon lights, a beautiful woman holding a xylophone slowly walked to the center of the stage and sat down gracefully in a chair.

The moment the slender beauty appeared, Xiaoyu immediately heard a commotion among the people around her.

"My God! That's Komurasaki, the most famous courtesan in the Flower Capital!"

"I never expected that Lord Yang Ming would actually invite the most beautiful woman in Wano Country to celebrate his birthday!"

"I've heard that this courtesan is hard to invite. She's always indifferent to high-ranking officials and nobles, so it's really impossible for ordinary people to invite her. I can only say that she truly lives up to the reputation of Lord Yang Ming!"

"Little Purple Girl is just as beautiful as the rumors say!"

"In my opinion, Miss Xiao Zi and Lord Yang Ming are a perfect match; they are a handsome man and a beautiful woman."

"No, no, no, Miss Xiao Zi is just a courtesan. How could she be worthy of our Lord Yang Ming?"

At the banquet, Xiao Zi's appearance immediately sparked a heated discussion among the people.

Xiao Zi was already used to the intense gazes directed at her from all directions and felt no tension whatsoever.

Xiao Zi looked around and found that the man the common people were talking about, Lord Yang Ming, was currently downstairs in the building, attending the banquet with the common people. He was accompanied by only a few trusted generals and was not making a big show of it. There were no naval soldiers protecting him, and he was not wearing a naval uniform. He was dressed in ordinary clothes and looked no different from the other common people.

If this person's true identity were not revealed, it would be difficult to associate this boy with the Navy's new Admiral Shura; one might even mistake him for the older brother next door.

Seemingly noticing Xiao Zi's gaze, Yang Ming nodded slightly.

Xiao Zi smiled sweetly, thinking to herself:

"This person isn't as cold and unapproachable as the rumors suggest."

As the ancients said, "A single glance back and a smile can captivate a hundred beauties, making all the ladies of the harem pale in comparison."

Xiao Zi's smile seemed to possess a kind of bewitching charm. When they saw her smile, many men were stunned, as if they had lost their souls.

Xiao Zi bowed slightly in the direction of Yang Ming and said:

"Today, I, your humble daughter, will present you with a poem, 'Moon Princess,' and I hope you will enjoy it."

After saying that, Xiao Zi adjusted her posture, rested the instrument on her right thigh, pressed the strings with her left hand, and held the ivory plectrum in her right hand, gently plucking the strings.

In Wano Country, this xylophone is also known as the Samadhi Line. It consists of two parts: a slender neck and a square soundbox. The soundbox is covered with snakeskin. The body of the xylophone is square, and the front and back are covered with a cat skin. Therefore, symmetrical black dots can be seen on the surface of the Samadhi Line. These are actually traces of a certain part of the cat's belly.

The moment Xiao Zi plucked the strings, the once noisy village of Meigasa fell silent, and everyone was immersed in the beautiful music.

The music seemed to be infused with a soul.

Everything was as fleeting and uncertain as a daytime dream.

The passing of time is all an illusion.

There is not a trace of the physical body left; even the most vivid memories vanish in an instant.

Even so, they still firmly believed that the moon's face would not disappear.

The mournful and poignant music, while exuding pure beauty, also reveals a helpless fragility, stirring the softest parts of people's hearts and captivating them.

Yang Ming looked up at the beautiful figure playing the piano under the moonlight, a hint of surprise in his eyes. He hadn't expected this courtesan to be so skilled. No wonder she could bewitch so many men and still remain unmoved.

When the music ended, many people were still immersed in the lingering melody, unable to extricate themselves for a long time.

It wasn't until people saw Little Purple Girl holding a xylophone and slowly walking off the stage that they came to their senses and burst into thunderous applause.
