One Piece meme: Starting with eight extraordinary skills

Supernova Fire Fist Ace fails to challenge Whitebeard and instead becomes a member of the Whitebeard Pirates.

The Big Pirates strongly condemn the Navy's actions and accuse Admiral Shura of disrupting the order of the seas.

"Solid Evidence Reveals Collusion Between the Beasts Pirates and the Revolutionary Army"

"Don't be careless. The Navy hasn't gained the upper hand. Lee Sin, the Lord of the Night, has replaced Kaido and been recognized by the World Government as the new Yonko."

"Ace?"

After carefully reading through the relevant newspapers, Yang Ming smiled slightly.

"It's like a pillow being handed to someone when you're sleepy. I was just worrying about how to get Garp and Chief Instructor Zeff out of Impel Down, and here's a perfect candidate!"

With his eyes slightly narrowed and his fingers unconsciously tapping the table, Yang Ming had come up with a clear plan after careful consideration.

He waved his hand, beckoning Kalifa to him, and said:

"Send word to Bellemere to have the reporters at the Bright Newspaper start making a big fuss, saying that I am about to meet with Whitebeard."

Kalifa's pupils contracted slightly. Although she didn't understand Yang Ming's intentions, the matter itself was enough to make outsiders speculate wildly.

Yang Ming has just killed Kaido, the strongest creature in the world, and is about to meet the strongest man in the world. What kind of development is this?

Undoubtedly, once this topic is published, it will attract the attention of countless people, causing them to overlook the fact that Yang Ming is actually going to meet the supernova Fire Fist Ace.

After all, compared to newcomers like Fire Fist Ace who have only been in the industry for a little over a year, Yang Ming, the Shura General, and Edward Newgate, the Whitebeard who has been famous for many years, are the real heavyweights!

Although she had many questions in her mind, Kalifa showed no intention of asking them and instead turned around to carry out the mission without hesitation.

This is also why Yang Ming appreciates Kalifa, the former CP9 agent. Compared to other former CP9 agents, Kalifa knows very well what to ask and what not to ask, perfectly fulfilling the role of a tool, and is simply a close confidante to every leader.

The reforms in Wano Country are progressing step by step. It is unrealistic to expect this corrupt and backward country to accept advanced ideas and systems all at once; it requires gradual change.

Fortunately, perhaps Kozuki Sukiyaki realized that he had misjudged the situation back then, allowing Kurozumi Orochi to wreak havoc on Wano Country for many years, or perhaps because his only son, Kozuki Oden, had died and only his granddaughter, Kozuki Hiyori, was still alive, leaving the Kozuki family line completely extinct. Now, he is sincerely helping Yang Ming to promote change in Wano Country.

New Hope Factory signed a series of agreements with Wano Country to purchase large tracts of mineral resources and recruited employees on a large scale in various regions of Wano Country.

The Dinosaur Merchant Guild invested in the construction of infrastructure in Wano Country, especially demolishing and rebuilding old shantytowns and constructing a large number of steel and cement houses, providing employment opportunities for the vast majority of the poor through work-for-relief programs.

Carrera established a branch here, recruiting a group of skilled craftsmen to prepare for building new ships.

Following Yang Ming's instructions, Caesar Clown deliberately caused a scene with Vegapunk, staging a play to break away from the World Government's research institution and arrive in the Ringo region of Wano Country to establish a new research institute, where he would conduct research projects such as the creation of artificial Devil Fruits, the production of Iron Man armor, and the research on the Hulk serum.

The Linghou area is a cemetery, a desolate wilderness with sparse population. Establishing a research institute here has the advantage of safety and confidentiality.

Yang Ming also specially left an army to be stationed here, led by Xiu En.

Xiu En was originally a sergeant, a user of the Rust-Rust Fruit, and has now been promoted to colonel after following Yang Ming all over the country for many years.

However, given the limited potential of the Rusty Fruit and the fact that Xiu En is nearing the end of his career, it is not necessarily a bad thing for him that Yang Ming keeps him at this important research institute.

The influx of numerous job opportunities into Wano Country has given this once stagnant nation a sense of renewal, revitalizing it with renewed vitality.

Furthermore, Yang Ming is now promoting a series of reforms in Wano Country, giving desperate young people the right to vote and be elected. Even if they cannot become the Shogun of Wano Country in the future, they will still be able to participate in the election of regional councilors.

Everyone has a bright hope that life will be a little sweeter in the future.

While Wano Country was bustling with construction, a steel warship was sailing on the vast ocean.

The Navy Headquarters' secret special forces frequently use submarines to track the Four Emperors' flagships and monitor them at all times to prevent any secret meetings between the Four Emperors.

Edward Newgate's flagship, the Moby Dick, was naturally under the Navy's surveillance, and any movement of his could be traced. Yang Ming could find him without lifting a finger.

As a newly joined member of the Whitebeard Pirates, Ace is currently doing the hardest and most tiring work. Of course, it's not something like picking up soap for others, but rather wiping and cleaning the deck with a rag.

Pirate ships sail on the high seas year-round, and their wooden floors are prone to dampness and mold. They need to be wiped and maintained frequently, otherwise they will easily rot, causing the hull to become brittle and making the entire ship sink into the sea.

Suddenly, Ace heard an alarm bell ringing from the watchtower.

"Naval attack!"

Upon hearing this, Ace was startled.

"Which navy officer has the guts to provoke such a tiger?"

Ace paused in his work, realizing he wasn't slacking off; he was simply curious about who the visitor was.

Ace looked up and saw a familiar figure carrying a jug of sake, walking towards him with a moonlit gait.

"Killing one is a crime, slaughtering ten thousand makes one a hero, and slaughtering nine million makes one the hero among heroes."

Facing the astonished gazes, Yang Ming landed firmly on the deck of the Moby Dick and said leisurely:

"A poem, a jug of wine, a long song, a sword to the end of the world."

The breeze is coming, and the water waves are not happy.

The naval cloak draped over the young admiral's shoulders fluttered in the wind, and the word "Justice" on the back was dazzling.

Chapter 260 Landing on the Moby Dick, Meeting Whitebeard

Unlike the navy, pirates do not have fixed bases to regularly maintain their ships when sailing on the high seas. As a result, as ships sail for a long time, various problems will inevitably arise.

Therefore, there are several of the most unpopular and arduous jobs on a pirate ship.

The most important task is to remove rust from the anchors and hulls, which requires sinking to the seabed and is extremely physically and mentally demanding.

Secondly, there's the job of picking up soap.

Once a pirate ship sets sail, the vast ocean is boundless, making it extremely difficult to find a place to land, let alone satisfy physiological needs. Moreover, pirates are mostly men, and they are prone to becoming pent-up after a while, which naturally leads to the emergence of corresponding jobs.

Finally, there was the job of wiping the ship's deck.

Don't think this is just an ordinary cleaning job; that's a big misconception.

Ships sailing at sea are prone to moisture, and seawater moisture seeping into the deck can easily cause corrosion and rot. After wiping away the mud and residual bloodstains on the deck with clean water, special maintenance is still required.

This is the kind of work Ace did after joining the Whitebeard Pirates.

As a former supernova, to be reduced to this state and have to endure the sarcastic remarks and strange looks from other pirates, Ace was naturally furious.

However, before he could finish wiping the deck, he heard a loud singing voice, followed by the sound of wind breaking. A familiar figure came from a distance and stepped steadily on the deck he had just wiped.

With his ten fingers clenched into a fist, Ace gazed at that familiar figure with mixed feelings.

Unfazed by the stares of countless pirates, Yang Ming, carrying a jug of sake, slowly walked toward the old man sitting cross-legged on the deck.

With each step he took, his aura suddenly surged, a terrifying Conqueror's Haki slowly unfolded, and a gust of wind rose from the ground, causing the pirate flag on the flagpole to flutter loudly.

Upon seeing this, Ace's expression suddenly changed.

In that instant, Ace felt as if a mountain had been placed on his shoulders, his whole body suddenly felt heavy, and he even felt as if his knees were about to kneel down on the spot.

Ace gritted his teeth and, with his unwavering and indomitable spirit, managed to endure it.

"Splash...splash...splash!"

The other pirates didn't have Ace's abilities. They felt a suffocating sensation rush to their heads, their eyes rolled back, and they all collapsed to the ground.

Those who can maintain their spirit and remain conscious can be counted on one hand, with the sixteen division commanders of the Whitebeard Pirates being a prime example, all of whom remained unharmed.

In addition, there was a black-bearded man who pretended to be dead, lying on the ground and using the bodies of others as cover to secretly peek at the scene out of the corner of his eye.

After glancing at the current situation, Yang Ming had a general idea of ​​what was going on.

With his current level of Conqueror's Haki, he is still quite a distance from Shanks, the man known as the most powerful man in the world.

In addition, Yang Ming also paid attention to the system notifications.

"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...

[Concealment]: Blue inscription, slightly increases physical attack speed and movement speed.

"Admiral Shura, are you here to provoke the Whitebeard Pirates?"

Suddenly, a young man with a pineapple-shaped hairstyle blocked Yang Ming's path.

The young man sported a blond punk hairstyle, two miniature daggers tucked into his waistband, and wore a jacket and jeans with the collar casually open. His chest bore the distinctive mark of the Whitebeard Pirates.

The young man squinted, looking like he hadn't woken up yet. He put one hand in his pocket and pointed at Yang Ming with the other, asking a question. Judging from his posture, he looked like a street thug. If you judged him by his appearance, this guy would be like a minor character who only appeared in three chapters.

"Marco, the first division commander and ship's doctor of the Whitebeard Pirates, with a bounty of 1.374 billion Berries, is a Zoan-type Devil Fruit user with the Mythical Zoan type, the Phoenix form."

Yang Ming recited the information about the bounty poster in his mind as if it were a treasure trove, a subtle smile playing on his lips, and said:

"I've come today to have a drink with Whitebeard!"

Upon hearing this, not only did Marco and Ace look incredulous, but even Edward Newgate, the Whitebeard, twitched his lips. Then, as if he had thought of something funny, he suddenly burst into laughter.

"Goo la la la la!"

"Interesting! Extremely interesting! What an interesting young man!"

Edward Newgate, with his white beard, burst into laughter, causing the IV drip hanging from his body to make a series of clanging sounds. Even the needles and threads that were originally attached to his body were pulled out one by one, making people wonder if he did it on purpose.

He waved his hand, indicating that Marco and the others did not need to be so wary, and said:

"Let him come here!"

"This is our base camp, after all. If the outside world finds out, I won't even dare to see a twelve-year-old kid. Where will my face be then?"

Upon hearing this, Marco's expression changed slightly.

Whitebeard's words made the astute Marco realize that this great general's visit was probably not just for drinking, but also to test his father's health!

It's no wonder Marco was suspicious; on this vast ocean, if you're not smart enough, you can't possibly grow big and strong just by relying on brute force.

Since Yang Ming became the Asura General, all the major forces have carefully studied his resume. He has climbed up the ranks by stepping on the corpses of the strong!

Moreover, Yang Ming had just killed a sea emperor not long ago, and no one could say for sure whether this Shura Admiral intended to target the Whitebeard Pirates!

It's not impossible!

Marco stepped aside, his eyes warily fixed on the boy walking past him, his brow furrowed with caution, thinking to himself:

"No wonder this person has achieved so much at such a young age. Who would have thought that even his seemingly casual action could have such profound meaning?"
