"Jaygorusia Satan Saint belongs to the martial faction among the Five Elders and is responsible for handling external affairs. He is the most likely candidate to take charge at that time."
"As long as Jaigolusia Satan leaves the Holy Land of Mary Geoise, that will be my chance!"
A glint of light flashed in Yang Ming's eyes.
Rescuing the Crescent Moon Hunter, Katarina Depon, is the first step.
The second step was to have her impersonate and replace Jaigollucia Satan.
The third step is to gather information about the final boss, Lord Im!
Intelligence is something that is extremely important to everyone.
For eight hundred years, Lord Im has lived in seclusion behind the scenes, controlling the world through the World Government, and sparing no effort to erase his traces of the world.
One of them is the century-long gap in history.
The scholars of Ohara in the West Sea who attempted to decipher this blank century of history and search for the truth of eight hundred years ago violated Lord Im's taboo and thus brought about their own demise.
The more Lord Im tries to conceal these historical events, the more blatantly he tries to hide them, revealing that these past events expose his strengths and weaknesses. He doesn't want others to know these things so they can target and eliminate him.
Therefore, the move by Katerina Depon is particularly important.
"However, the Straw Hat Pirates are also an important part of my plan. Luffy and his crew are still too weak. It might be inappropriate for them to enter the Grand Line now."
"It seems it's time to go back to the East China Sea and see some old friends."
With this in mind, Yang Ming stood up, pushed open the door, and walked out of the office.
Her personal secretary, Kalifa, followed closely behind and asked in a low voice:
"Boss, what are the arrangements?"
"Prepare the boats, let's set sail!"
East China Sea.
Under the sunlight, the sea surface shimmered with iridescent light. In the distance, one could see white sails cutting through the waves, while closer by, one could see graceful dolphins leaping out of the water, playfully somersaulting in mid-air before plunging back into the sea, creating splashes of water.
A rather small three-masted sailing ship sped across the sea. The Straw Hat Pirates were celebrating their victory over a pirate crew they had encountered by chance, carrying their captured barrels of sake onto the deck. Luffy, with a bite of meat in one hand and a glass in the other, mumbled indistinctly:
"Cheers to our victory!"
Roronoa Zoro.
Nami.
Usopp.
Sanji.
As if by fate, they came together just like in the original story.
While enjoying Sanji's usual attentiveness, Nami lowered her head and took a small sip of rum. The slightly sour liquor lingered on her tongue, bringing a stimulating taste experience to her palate.
Watching Luffy and Usopp with two chopsticks stuck in their nostrils, childishly putting their arms around each other and singing awful songs, Nami rested her chin on her right hand, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up slightly.
The behavior was clearly childish, yet it inexplicably gave people a sense of security.
Perhaps this is why she was willing to resign from her job as the branch editor of the Guangming Daily and infiltrate the Straw Hat Pirates.
"It feels pretty good."
Nami said softly.
The speaker has no intention, the listener has the heart.
Sanji, thinking Nami was praising his cooking, immediately puffed out his chest and said:
"Miss Nami, this barbecue is made with thirty-six carefully selected ingredients and eighteen processes. It is filled with my deep love for you!"
So greasy!
Listening to Sanji's cheesy pickup lines, Nami smiled awkwardly, not wanting to directly embarrass him, so she picked up her wine glass and walked to the ship's side, intending to get some fresh air to sober up.
Before she could enjoy her moment for long, Nami suddenly saw the silhouette of a steel warship appear on the horizon, and her pupils contracted sharply, shrinking to the size of needles.
"Naval attack!"
Roronoa Zoro, leaning against the cabin door, holding the Wado Ichimonji in his arms, put down his sake cup, raised his eyelids, and said:
"What's the big deal? Even if there are marines, we'll just cut them down."
Ever since Luffy made a name for himself as the Straw Hat Pirate in the East Blue and received a bounty of 3000 million Berries, the Navy's pursuit has never ceased, causing their original plan to reach the Grand Line to be shelved until now. They haven't even reached Loguetown yet, which has left him quite annoyed.
Seeing that everyone seemed indifferent, Nami became very anxious and said:
"You know nothing!"
"These aren't ordinary warships!"
Luffy picked his nose and said:
"What's the panic? Could it be a Marine Headquarters Admiral?"
Chapter 275 My Foolish Brother
Groups of fish swam happily in the sea, while seagulls soared and circled in the sky. The waves on the sea resembled white lotus flowers.
The waves rhythmically lapped against the sides of the Going Merry, splashing countless droplets of water. The unforgettable fresh sea breeze, carrying a faint fishy smell, caressed the hair and faces of Luffy and the others on the deck. Luffy's words from earlier still echoed in their ears.
"What's the panic? Could it be a Marine Headquarters Admiral?"
Upon hearing this, Nami suddenly turned around, strode up to Luffy, and was so angry that she wanted to tear Luffy's mouth apart.
If Luffy weren't born with a rubber body and incredibly elastic skin, the exaggerated curve of his mouth being forcibly pulled would have likely ripped his mouth apart on an ordinary person.
"Luffy, you jinx!"
"Open your eyes wide and look! That's General Shura's flagship!!!!"
Nami roared wildly in Luffy's ear, her shrill voice sounding like the wailing of an old hag, almost piercing everyone's eardrums.
Nami has been with Bellemere since she was a child. As a member of the Akatsuki organization, she has often dealt with Yang Ming and is extremely familiar with his flagship. Others might mistake it, but she would never mistake it.
Nami knew very well that with the current strength of their Straw Hat Pirates, if they encountered Yang Ming's flagship, Yang Ming wouldn't even need to take action himself. His proud and fierce soldiers alone would be enough to capture them all.
Upon hearing this news, Usopp was completely stunned.
He rushed to the helm, hoping to rev the engine to full speed and take the Merry far away, away from that steel warship.
This behavior is perfectly normal.
On the contrary, the performance of the others really stumped Nami.
Roronoa Zoro, whose eyes had been half-open, suddenly snapped them shut. Holding the Wado Ichimonji, he rose to his feet, a menacing grin spreading across his face as he said:
"The Asura General..."
The tragic memories from a few years ago involuntarily resurfaced in his mind.
Even his childhood sweetheart, Kuina, ran off with someone else.
Do you see the bright green hair on his head?
As the saying goes, if you want to get by in life, you have to wear a green hat.
Nonsence!
Proverbs are all lies!
In order to win back Kuina and prove to her who the real man is, Roronoa Zoro has been training relentlessly all these years.
He was even greatly inspired when he saw Yang Ming welcoming lightning to temper his body. Every time during the rainy season, he would go to the mountain behind the dojo to be struck by lightning. Each time he survived, and through this, he developed a physique that was far stronger than that of the same period in the original story.
"Watch how I chop you up!"
Sanji had a cheap cigarette dangling from his lips, the tip glowing red and emitting a pungent smell.
"call!"
Sanji took off his cigarette, exhaled a breath of stale air, and casually tossed it to the ground. He then stomped on the cigarette butt several times with his gleaming black leather shoes, extinguishing the flame under his feet.
Those memories of being killed seem to be sealed away at this moment, constantly impacting Sanji's mind.
Food that makes clothes explode?
That face was even more handsome than his?
"I've practiced hard for years and finally mastered the articulated leg technique, all for this day!"
Sanji silently clenched his fists, his face filled with determination.
Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, don’t bully young people into poverty!
His right hand rested on the straw hat on his head, the wide brim casting a large shadow that obscured most of Luffy's face, but one could still see the smile on his lips and a row of neatly brushed white teeth.
“Yang Ming…”
It was seeing Yang Ming become the youngest Admiral in the history of the Marine Headquarters, and Ace making a name for himself as the Supernova Fire Fist Ace, that made Luffy unable to resist planning to set sail ahead of schedule.
"I wonder, how big is the gap between you and me now?"
Seeing Luffy, Roronoa, Zoro, and Sanji's performance, Nami's forehead veins bulged, and she clenched her fists, giving each of them a flick on the forehead.
"Boom...boom...boom..."
"It hurts!" 3
Luffy and his two companions, each with a meat bun on their head, sat in a row in the corner, looking like pushovers, completely bewildered by Nami's outburst.
Looking at the huge bun on Luffy's head, bigger than an ordinary person's, Roronoa, Zoro, and Sanji couldn't help but twitch their lips.
Do they not know what kind of physique Luffy has?
He can withstand bullets and cannonballs, but he can't withstand Nami's fists.
Good heavens, is Nami a monster?
Silently withdrawing her Armament Haki, Nami put her hands on her hips, looking like a homeroom teacher scolding a lazy, unmotivated student:
"Use your brains and think about it. Even if we encounter those third-rate naval forces in the East China Sea, we have to give way to avoid the Going Merry being damaged by shelling. Who gave you the courage to challenge Admiral Shura, huh?"
"I was wrong!"
Luffy and his two companions obediently accepted the training, but forgot about it in the blink of an eye.
