One Piece meme: Starting with eight extraordinary skills

Go look it up yourself.

As Yang Ming's mind raced and his pen danced between his fingers, General Kuzan of Aokiji finally woke up.

"That feels so good. What time is it?"

Admiral Kuzan stretched, loosening his slightly stiff back. He glanced at his watch and realized it wasn't time to leave work yet. He subtly pursed his lips, realizing he'd have to continue slacking off at work to get by.

His reaction naturally did not escape Yang Ming's notice.

Yang Ming sighed deeply, finally understanding the pain he had endured as a marshal during the Warring States period.

Having such an unreliable group of subordinates is truly frustrating and makes you want to vomit blood.

Fortunately, Admiral Kuzan glanced through the memo and finally remembered why he had come, saying:

"Yang Ming, your plan to launch a cleanup operation in the kingdoms of the Four Seas and the Grand Line is a major undertaking that will result in the sacrifice of countless naval soldiers, with little to show for it. Could you perhaps reconsider this plan?"

From the moment Admiral Kuzan stepped into the office, Yang Ming knew that he was there on behalf of many people within the Navy who did not understand him.

Yang Ming slowly walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling glass window. A white dove spread its wings and flew, and a ray of sunlight pierced through the floating feathers, falling into the office and onto Yang Ming.

"I often think about what our original motivation was for joining the army?"

“We soldiers…” Yang Ming raised his right hand, as if to grasp the sun in the sky, “we must become light, because there are people who are afraid of the dark!”

Chapter 324 Three things to do when a new official takes office

Injustice is everywhere in this world.

Fish-men can only live in the deep sea and cannot enjoy the same sunlight and oxygen on land as humans.

Children from slums are influenced by their environment and can never be friends with children from noble families. As they grow up, they gradually develop bad habits and become idle hooligans.

Honest and simple people are bullied by high-ranking nobles, and by vicious pirates and bandits. Even if they have a little spare money, they have to suffer as suckers because nobles have the right of first night on their own territories. Legally, every woman on every territory is the private property of a noble.

In a world where ordinary people at the bottom of society see no future or hope, Yang Ming always wanted to do something.

He hadn't forgotten that before he transmigrated, he was just an ordinary citizen, and even after he transmigrated, he was still just a person living in a garbage dump.

"I often think about what our original motivation was for joining the army?"

“We soldiers…” Yang Ming raised his right hand, as if to grasp the sun in the sky, “we must become light, because there are people who are afraid of the dark!”

The blazing sunlight streamed through the gaps between his fingers, scattering across Yang Ming's face as if draping him in a sacred veil, filling him with a gentle glow.

"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...

【Conflict】: Red inscription, slightly enhances physical attack and physical lifesteal.

As General Kuzan looked at the young marshal who was shining in the sunlight, his sleepy eyes suddenly sharpened.

"To become light and protect those who fear the darkness..."

"So, your dreams are truly vast..."

We've all misunderstood you!

Yang Ming's words enlightened General Kuzan of Aokiji and also reminded him of his lost youth.

"Yang Ming, I understand!"

"When I get back, I will tell everyone exactly what you said, so that those who don't understand you can be at peace!"

Having said these words, Admiral Kuzan, a man of action, immediately sprang into action.

Yang Ming's lips curled up slightly. To get his lazy subordinates moving, he not only had to get them to work, but also to offer them a grand and distant goal in order to fully mobilize their initiative.

Sure enough, even the navy's notorious lazybones became diligent under Yang Ming's influence.

Sure enough, this person has unlimited potential. How would we know if he couldn't do it if we didn't push him?

Of course, Yang Ming also knew that if a boss only makes empty promises to his subordinates and arranges 997 work hours without giving any rewards, then it's all just empty talk.

People follow you to conquer the world, isn't it all so that they and their families can live a better life?

Only on this basis will they pursue justice!

Only by establishing a sustainable and fair reward and punishment mechanism can a task be done thoroughly.

These tedious matters no longer require Yang Ming's personal attention. He directly transferred Jonathan back to the Navy Headquarters, replacing Vice Admiral Tsuru as his personal advisor, to provide him with strategic advice. Naturally, these matters were left to Jonathan to handle. He only needed his personal secretary, Kalifa, to submit the final results, which he would then stamp and approve.

Jonathan's wisdom was no less than that of Lieutenant General Crane. With his intelligence and the successful precedent of the West Sea's crackdown on the Mafia, he quickly developed a targeted reward and punishment mechanism.

The rewards and punishments for the special operations launched across the four seas and the Grand Line to crack down on the mafia, bandits, and pirates are as follows.

There are five types of rewards:

（1）嘉奖、（2）记功、（3）晋级职位、（4）晋升军衔、（5）授予荣誉称号。

There are five types of penalties:

（1）罚款、（2）警告、（3）记过、（4）降级、（5）除名。

Jonathan laid out numerous details regarding the rules, including the number of criminals to be killed or captured, the rewards for such actions, and the severe punishment for anyone found to have committed adultery or impersonated a criminal.

The rewards are very generous, mainly in the form of material prizes, including shares in Yang Ming's group company, a large amount of Beli, high-quality weapons from Wano Country, the latest Iron Man armor, Devil Fruits, and so on.

Everyone in the Navy knows that Yang Ming's New Hope Factory, Carrera Company, and Dinosaur Chamber of Commerce are thriving. Even if you only get 0.1% of the shares, as these companies expand their businesses, their stock prices will skyrocket. Even if you are injured on the battlefield and forced to retire early, you and your family will have nothing to worry about for the rest of your life.

Wano Country is home to many master craftsmen, and the exquisite weapons they forge, even if not among the top 50 best swords, are likely to be of comparable quality. Obtaining such a weapon would not only boost one's combat power but also give one more confidence on the battlefield.

Devil Fruits are even rarer. Even if you're worried about getting useless abilities after eating one, you can put it up for auction and sell it for at least 100 million Berries. But I doubt the Marines who would trade for a Devil Fruit would be short of money.

As for Iron Man's latest suit of armor, it seemed somewhat unfamiliar to the other naval soldiers besides the Governor General. They weren't initially impressed and didn't consider it a treasure.

When they saw that the Governor's soldiers were wearing Iron Man Mark 3 armor, which not only allowed them to fly and move freely, but also possessed various terrifying automatic aiming weapons, as well as powerful weapons like palm laser cannons, the entire Navy was in an uproar!

Within the Naval Headquarters, Yang Ming drew inspiration from the concept of adventure guilds issuing missions in online games. He divided the previously coordinated tasks into sub-missions, which were then investigated by the Naval Headquarters' classified special forces. These sub-missions were then labeled with the target and mission details, along with the corresponding enemy size. After professional evaluation, each sub-mission was assigned a difficulty level.

Currently, the difficulty levels of these project sub-tasks can be roughly divided into five levels: easy, normal, hard, nightmare, and hell.

Easy difficulty, concentrated in the East Blue region, where you'll face enemies like Mountain Bandit King Higuma, Pirate Alvida, Captain Crocodile of the Black Cat Pirates, and Governor Krieg.

The easy difficulty level is suitable for naval officers and enlisted personnel, and the rewards are basically commendations in Baileys and promotions in rank.

On normal difficulty, you'll face wanted criminals with bounties under 5000 million Berries.

Normal difficulty is suitable for officers in the Navy. In addition to basic rewards such as bailes and promotions in rank, there are also rewards for promotions in position.

The Hard difficulty level is for enemies with less than 1 million Berries.

The Hard difficulty level is suitable for admiral-level naval officers. In addition to the original rewards, it offers additional rewards such as Devil Fruits and Iron Man armor.

Nightmare difficulty features enemies with a net worth of less than 3 million Berries, mostly Supernova pirates who have emerged in recent years.

Nightmare difficulty, suitable for generals of major general rank or above to lead the expedition, and can obtain shares in Yang Ming's group company.

Hell difficulty is for enemies of the level of the Four Emperors and the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

Hell difficulty is only suitable for generals of lieutenant general rank or above, and requires leading multiple warships and thousands of soldiers to have any chance of winning.

Koby and Bellmare walked through the newly built mission hall, where they could see people rushing around after receiving their missions.

The two of them were like Grandma Liu visiting the Grand View Garden, looking left and right, finding everything new and exciting.

Several mission panels stand in the mission hall, with members of the Navy Headquarters' secret special forces acting as interpreters, providing free Q&A services to those who accept missions.

Just think how mysterious the people in the Navy Headquarters' secret special forces are. In the past, they were like dragons, rarely seen. You could only hear their names but never see them in person. Now they are as common as cabbages. How can people not find them amazing?

Koby and Bellmare were no exception, their eyes constantly glancing at the members of the Navy Headquarters' secret special forces.

After glancing at it, Helmeppo pursed his lips and said:

"I don't see anything special about them. They just have two arms and two legs, just like us."

Unlike Helmeppo, who was so ill-mannered, Koby, though surprised, didn't complain much. Instead, he looked for suitable missions for the two of them on the mission panel.

After searching through them, they didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Their homeland in the East Sea was indeed the weakest sea in the world. All the easy tasks on the task panel were in the East Sea.

Soon, Koby found a suitable target.

[The Defected Colonel Morgan]: Easy difficulty. Capture or kill this person to earn 3000 million Berries.

"Tsk tsk tsk, the reward for this mission is even higher than Colonel Morgan's bounty, and it's your father, Belumeber, so it'll be even easier to carry out the job!"

Koby made a gesture that caught Bellumeber's eye.

"Nani?"

"I never imagined my dad would be so valuable. No need to choose another one, I'll just pick him!"

Bellemere had no qualms about capturing or killing his own father.

Because his filial piety has changed ever since he was kicked out of his home by Colonel Monca!

Chapter 325 Anyone Can Be a Hero

The Grand Line, on a certain island.

The island's ridge resembled the dorsal fin of a carp. Suddenly, a huge mooing sound came from the ocean, and the entire island began to shake violently. As a large amount of clear seawater poured down from both sides of the fin, a huge red goldfish surfaced, revealing its enormous head.

This is a giant goldfish called the Island Eater. From the moment it is born, it feeds on islands. Even its excrement is as big as an island. Its size alone is dozens of times larger than that of an ordinary three-masted sailing ship. With a gentle flick of its tail, it can stir up huge waves.

On the dorsal fin of this island-eating monster, Hawkeye Jorah Mihawk was fishing out of boredom, never expecting that the bait he used to catch sea kings was so delicious that it woke up the island-eating monster beneath his feet.

"It's really troublesome."

"The flesh of the island monster is not tasty at all."

Hawkeye Jorah Mihawk drew his Black Blade Night from his back, a stunning flash of light appearing out of nowhere.

With a flash of light, the island-eating monster's enormous fish head was instantly severed from its body. The fish head, the size of two football fields, crashed down, splashing up waves of water. The glistening water droplets reflected Hawkeye Jorah Mihawk's expressionless face, as if he was not at all surprised that he had casually killed such a terrifying creature.

"cracking!"
