One Piece meme: Starting with eight extraordinary skills

A cold glint flashed in Lord Im's eyes as he coldly stared at the four old men kneeling on the ground, and said indifferently:

"I demanded that you investigate the whereabouts of the Dark Night Pirates. So many years have passed, don't you have even the slightest clue?"

Upon hearing this, the four elderly men, whose combined age exceeded four hundred years, broke out in a cold sweat. Soon, their backs were soaked with sweat, and they said awkwardly:

"Reporting to Lord Im, the Dark Night Pirates' flagship was originally the Thriller Bark of Gecko Moria, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. I don't know what kind of modifications it underwent, but it is able to fly freely in the sky at an altitude of 10,000 meters. We have dispatched agents of the CP organization to search all over the world, but so far we have found very little."

"An explanation is a cover-up, and a cover-up means that it actually happened."

Lord Im snorted coldly, then abruptly waved his hand and said:

"I have always hated incompetent good-for-nothings. If you can't find the whereabouts of the Dark Night Pirates within a month, all of you will resign and let more capable people take over!"

The four elderly people looked distressed, but had no choice but to nod in agreement.

Just as the World Government was being blamed and reprimanded by Lord Im for the serious injury and disability of "Jaigolucia Satan Saint", Yang Ming, the instigator of all this, was enjoying a carefree vacation on the high seas.

The truth will out eventually, especially after discovering that even a newcomer like Princess Vivi frequently visited Yang Ming's bedroom. Tina, who had initially been fond of Yang Ming, was already filled with boundless jealousy.

Don't be surprised that Tina fell in love with a boy a few years younger than herself. There are plenty of unreasonable things on this sea. Even six- or seven-year-old boys and girls can fall in love with each other and get engaged. So what's so strange about something as trivial as this?

That day, while everyone else was busy with their own tasks and unable to attend to others, Tina finally mustered up her courage and took several deep breaths outside Yang Ming's bedroom, thinking to herself:

"Tina can do it!"

Little did she know that her little actions outside the door could not escape Yang Ming's Observation Haki.

When she knocked on the door, she saw Yang Ming already standing there with a smile, waiting for her.

"Tina, have you ever heard this saying?"

"The early bird catches the worm, but the second mouse often gets to eat the cheese."

Chapter 296 Iron Man Mark III Suit

When girls reach a certain age, they are always able to give their all for love.

Despite Tina's tomboyish demeanor and her tendency to berate her soldiers like children, she is still a girl.

Over the past few days, Tina had already discovered the ambiguous relationship between Yang Ming and Momousagi Gion. Even Princess Vivi, a newcomer, was able to go out with Yang Ming as a couple, which had already made Tina uneasy.

"Obviously I came first."

Overwhelmed with sorrow, Tina mustered her courage and dressed up nicely.

This year, Tina is in the prime of her youth, with a tall and slender figure that exudes youthful energy from the inside out. She is extremely attractive, and now she has taken off her usual unchanging navy uniform and put on a suitable white low-cut dress.

It has to be said that Tina really has the potential to be a model. In particular, her years of high-intensity training have given her more qualities that are different from traditional women than ordinary models. When she appeared in front of Yang Ming wearing a white low-cut dress, Yang Ming couldn't help but be impressed.

Tina's chest was originally unremarkable, but over the years she had been drinking milk to help her grow, and it had improved somewhat. The two "barbells" on her chest were particularly eye-catching, and they vaguely revealed the lace of budding flowers. When Tina was shy under Yang Ming's burning gaze, so much so that when she raised her jade hand to tidy her wet pink short hair, her breasts became even more turbulent and breathtaking.

A whiff of perfume, fresh from a shower, wafted over, tickling Yang Ming's nose and making him feel like he was about to sneeze. He had no choice but to turn his attention to the system notification.

"Ding!"

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

The dazzling array of prizes in the lottery wheel reappeared before Yang Ming's eyes, mainly falling into two categories: treasures and miscellaneous items.

Treasures: Infinity Gauntlet, Heart of the Universe, Ancient Winter Coffin...

Miscellaneous items: Iron Man suit, Spider-Man cells, Hulk bloodline...

[Iron Man Mark 3 Suit]: A red and yellow suit. Based on the original Mark 2 suit, it is equipped with an automatic targeting system that can lock onto multiple targets at the same time, and is equipped with six-barreled mini-missiles on both arms to take down targets.

With the original Iron Man Mark III suit, Yang Ming was able to arm more of his men and strengthen his own power.

Seeing Yang Ming standing there seemingly in a daze, his eyes fixed on her, Tina felt a mix of shyness and secret delight, thinking to herself:

"Sure enough, guys like this kind of thing."

Despite her reluctance, Tina had no choice but to suppress her slight affectation and proudly raise her chest when she thought about how that green tea bitch Momousagi Gion had gotten there first, and even Princess Vivi had arrived before her.

"Yang Ming, what did you mean by what you just said?"

In public, Tina and other generals who were among Yang Ming's earliest followers would habitually address him as Captain. Only in private would Tina call Yang Ming by his given name, which is proof of their extraordinary relationship.

After all, the Naval Headquarters is a place with a strict system, where the hierarchy is clearly defined and no one is allowed to overstep their bounds. Otherwise, one can easily receive a warning, or even be demoted.

The cool, short dress hugged Tina's enviable figure, perfectly outlining her slender physique, which far surpassed that of women her age. Her figure was light and graceful, with a delicate waist and skin as white as snow, ethereal and otherworldly. She was like a perfect work of art sculpted by the world's most skilled craftsman, neither too much nor too little.

Due to years of exercise, Tina's arms and legs are muscular and firm, unlike the loose muscles of girls who stay at home, giving her a unique and powerful beauty.

What's most captivating is the expression on her pretty face. Her rosy cheeks, tinged with shyness, longing, and a touch of heroic spirit that rivals any man, make her truly unique.

If other naval soldiers were here at this moment, they would probably be dumbfounded, unable to connect the woman in front of them with the female instructor who usually yelled at them. They would feel that she was a completely different woman.

This striking contrast, combined within the same person, instantly amplifies Tina's charm.

When facing Tina, Yang Ming couldn't be as rough as he was with Momousagi Gion and Princess Vivi.

Regardless, Tina was the first woman Yang Ming met after entering the Naval Academy. Although some unpleasant things happened at the beginning of their acquaintance, they had long since let go of their differences and gradually became comrades who could entrust their backs to each other.

"Tina, do you remember the first major mission we received?"

Yang Ming's reminder and change of topic prompted Tina to recall the past.

"Remember, of course I remember."

"Back then, you were just a six-year-old brat who had only been in the Naval Academy for less than half a year, and you were only up to my waist. You're nothing like you are now, two heads taller than me."

Recalling the past, Tina's lips unconsciously curled up slightly.

"Back then, Chief Instructor Zephyr ordered us to go to Water 7 to destroy a human trafficking den run by Doflamingo. We were so young back then, and when we thought it was a great opportunity to make a name for ourselves, we didn't think about the strategic intent behind it or the risks involved. We agreed without hesitation."

"I never imagined that so much time would have passed in the blink of an eye."

Just as Tina was about to say something, she suddenly felt her soft little hand being gripped tightly by a strong and powerful hand, and she could feel the thick calluses on Yang Ming's palm.

Meeting Tina's slightly puzzled gaze, Yang Ming smiled slightly.

"We haven't had time alone together in a long time, so let's take a spontaneous trip."

Without waiting for Tina's response, Yang Ming crushed the Philosopher's Stone in his hand and, using the spatial teleportation power of the Dimensional Array Shangri-La, vanished from his spot with a "whoosh," taking Tina with him to Water Seven.

After the two left, Yang Ming opened the door not far from his bedroom. His personal secretary, Kalifa, stood there, looking at the spot where the two had left, and suddenly sighed.

"Ugh!"

"Splash! Splash! Whoosh..."

The tides propelled the surging waves, one after another pushing them toward the shore, white spray splashing onto the sand and leaving wet marks.

Water City, bathed in the blue of the sky, is like a captivating landscape poem, filled with a relaxed and carefree atmosphere.

Yang Ming held Tina's hand as they strolled along the wide roads of Water Seven, looking like an enviable couple.

Now, with Yang Ming's support, Iceberg has been successfully elected as the mayor of Water Seven. After years of aggressive acquisitions, all the shipyards and companies in Water Seven, large and small, have been acquired by Carrera Corporation. With its huge scale and brand advantages, as well as Yang Ming's connections in the Navy Headquarters, Carrera Corporation has become the world's largest shipbuilding company, monopolizing more than 90% of the shipbuilding business on this sea. Even the warships built by the Navy are all managed by Carrera Corporation.

It's fair to say that if Yang Ming were to turn his back on everyone now, no force on this high seas, whether it's the World Government or various pirate groups, would be able to acquire a single ship.

Carrera is just that domineering!

With its monopoly advantage, Carrera has hired a large number of employees at high salaries and returned the profits to Water Seven. The main road has been widened again and again, and can now accommodate eight carriages traveling side by side.

On the bluestone-paved ground, horse-drawn carriages came and went in an endless stream, and the flow of people was extremely large. Workers from all over the country came here to apply for jobs at Carrera Company.

Today, Carrera is no longer content with shipbuilding. Based on its existing maritime train business, it has contracted the infrastructure construction of maritime transportation in the entire West China Sea. This requires a large number of people and raw materials, and many ordinary people can obtain a job to make a living by applying for positions.

The large number of people who come here to work brings a huge influx of people and business.

Originally, lumber shops and hardware stores were ubiquitous in Water Seven. Now, due to Carrera's complete monopoly, these businesses have all changed careers and started in service industries such as hotels, restaurants, tourism, and nail salons. This has helped re-employ the previously unemployed population, and thanks to the massive traffic, their work has become easier, and their income has increased several times over.

In this series of industrial transformation and upgrading, Carrera is the biggest beneficiary, the original inhabitants of Water Seven are the second beneficiaries, and then the ordinary people from all over the country who come to apply for jobs are the beneficiaries. It can be said that it is a win-win situation for all three parties.

The only ones who contributed money and effort were the countries of the Western Sea.

Thanks to the governor's relentless efforts in eradicating pirates, bandits, and the mafia, the entire West Sea is now peaceful and lawless.

The ill-gotten gains seized from nobles and the Mafia, along with funds allocated by various countries, were all used to build a maritime train, strengthen personnel and commercial exchanges among the Western Sea nations, and drive their economic development.

It could be said that the entire Western Sea region is also a beneficiary.

Watching Water Seven change little by little each year and big by big every three years, now so different from what she remembered, Tina unconsciously leaned her head on Yang Ming's shoulder, secretly admiring his perfect profile, thinking to herself:

"This is the man Tina has her eye on, possessing incredible power!"

Chapter 297 I Can Save This World

Water Seven, now known as the pearl of the Grand Line, is the most romantic city on this sea.

The winding waterways of Water Seven, with their flowing ripples, make Water Seven seem like a romantic dream floating on the sea. This city, less than 100 square kilometers in size, is divided into numerous small islands by hundreds of spiderweb-like canals. It is difficult to distinguish between the islands, and only the local natives who have lived there for many years can tell them apart from the waterways.

Such a complex network of waterways can quickly cause many first-time visitors to lose their way in this city.

Water Seven's central square is the heart of the city and its most bustling and prosperous area. It is roughly the size of several football fields and is jokingly referred to by tourists as the most beautiful living room on the Grand Line. The square is surrounded by a church, a bell tower, a city hall, and a museum. Cafes are located next to the square, providing a place for tourists to rest.

When tourists get tired of walking, they sit in small groups on the benches outside the café, enjoying their rich coffee while admiring the exquisite buildings around the square. They can also see the Carrera headquarters in the distance and admire the huge statue that stands in front of the Carrera headquarters.

It was a huge statue that perfectly replicated Yang Ming's image. He was tall and imposing, with his right hand always resting on the hilt of his sword and his left hand hanging vertically at his waist. His deep eyes gazed into the distance, and the two characters for "Justice" on the naval cloak behind him shone brightly in the sunlight.

To put it bluntly, Yang Ming, the Asura General, has long been an important symbol of Water City.

Whether they are indigenous people or tourists, everyone knows that the prosperity of Seven Water City today is due to Yang Ming's series of measures and innovations.

Perhaps at the beginning of this process, there will be a lot of growing pains, many people will lose their jobs, and various problems will arise. But once it develops to a certain stage, everyone will benefit immensely.

Yang Ming and Tina walked side by side, hand in hand, along the canal bank, enjoying the cool breeze.

Perhaps because they recognized Yang Ming's identity, they attracted a lot of attention from tourists along the way.

Tina, who usually acts like a tomboy, is now behaving like a girl, leaning on Yang Ming's broad shoulder with a blush on her cheeks, behaving like a little bird clinging to a woman.

It must be said that Tina usually neglects to dress up, but once she puts on makeup, with her innate talent, she truly has sculpted shoulders, a slender waist, and an elegant and graceful figure, as if she were born with a perfect beauty.

Her long, pink hair cascaded down to her earlobes, as soft and lustrous as the finest silk. Her oval face was sharply defined, with starry eyes and red lips complementing her fair, rosy skin. Her figure was as alluring as towering peaks, truly a walking model.

Her beautiful and refined face, her graceful and supple neck, and her slender waist, all exuded a pleasant fragrance as she walked. Countless passersby stopped to gaze at her, hoping to catch a smile from her.

Seeing many passersby turning their heads to look at Tina, Yang Ming felt proud and couldn't help but put his arm around Tina's slender waist, declaring his affection to the outside world.

The skin under his fingers was soft and delicate, and his nose touched the soft strands of hair. A pleasant fragrance wafted up and he took a deep breath, breathing warm air into Tina's ear.

"Tina, you are very special today."
