One Piece meme: Starting with eight extraordinary skills

Even Admiral Fujitora doesn't obey Fleet Admiral Sakazuki's orders, let alone the other Marines.

The navy's original system required even the top experts to start from the bottom, which many people couldn't understand.

When strong individuals enter the navy, they gradually develop the navy's imprint by working at the grassroots level, cultivating a sense of organization and discipline through daily training.

Most importantly, we must instill the concept of naval justice and make these people understand who they are fighting for.

They are not fighting for themselves, nor for the World Government and the Nobles, nor for the Navy, but for justice!

The word "justice" may seem grand and vague, and many junior naval officers and soldiers scoff at it, as most of them join the army just to earn a living. However, for those who are strong, or new recruits with the potential to become strong, it is an extremely important point.

No matter how strong a person is, if their mind is empty, they are nothing more than a human weapon.

Only those who are armed with ideology and possess conviction can be called strong.

It can be said that Yang Ming is also a beneficiary of this naval system. Having come this far, he naturally understands the superiority of this mechanism better than anyone else.

For this reason, Yang Ming did not abolish this selection mechanism. Instead, he took a different approach and opened up a mission hall to motivate the lower and middle-ranking officers and soldiers of the navy through simpler and more direct rewards.

Yang Ming even ordered his men to spread the word that he would no longer be limited to the three admirals of the navy, and might even establish a system of four admirals!

This also means that lieutenant generals who are capable of becoming generals also have the opportunity to rise to prominence.

This plan is currently just a verbal promise from Yang Ming. If it is to be implemented, it will only be done after he completely replaces Admiral Sakazuki of Akainu and Admiral Kuzan of Aokiji with his own people. Otherwise, it will only be a waste of time and effort to benefit others.

Yang Ming glanced around and, seeing that everyone looked somewhat tense and serious, chuckled softly:

"Don't look so serious, everyone, cheer up!"

"Kalifa, bring out some appetizing donuts for everyone."

Her personal secretary, Kalifa, nodded in agreement and then took out bags of unopened donuts from her desk drawer, handing them to everyone present.

When Admiral Kuzan received the donuts, he was both amused and exasperated. He felt that this scene was somewhat familiar. In the past, when Fleet Admiral Sengoku held meetings, Garp would always take out donuts and eat them without a care in the world, which made Kuzan very envious. However, he dared not eat snacks in front of Fleet Admiral Sengoku, so he had to go to the Navy canteen for a big meal after each meeting.

"Should we say that this is a case of the student surpassing the teacher?"

Taking a bite of the donut, Admiral Kuzan of Aokiji still had the mood to let his mind wander.

After Fleet Admiral Sengoku was promoted to Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Garp, Chief Instructor Zephyr, and Vice Admiral Tsuru also retired from the second line and are now vacationing on an island not far from Marineford, the Navy Headquarters. They are obviously very confident in entrusting the Navy to Yang Ming and believe that he can lead the Navy to a new era.

As if seeking revenge for the regrets of past meetings, Admiral Kuzan devoured the donut in his hand in no time, and not content with that, he even sucked the crumbs off his fingertips. Then, he lowered his head to sip a mouthful of rich and fragrant black tea and couldn't help but let out a satisfied burp.

Great!

This is life!

Seeing his colleagues casting surprised glances at him because he had burped, Admiral Kuzan, who hadn't inherited Garp's thick skin, felt his face flush slightly and quickly tried to divert attention, saying:

"Marshal, you've specially summoned us from all over the country today, surely you didn't just invite us to a tea party?"

"clever!"

Yang Ming smiled slightly, meeting the inquiring gazes of the group, and said:

"As you all probably know, the Bigo Pirates have been frequently contacting the Whitebeard Pirates lately, showing signs of forming an alliance. If these two Yonko form an alliance, our Navy will face great pressure, and it may even affect our plan to publicly execute Fire Fist Ace."

"Therefore, I am determined to launch an attack on Whole Cake Island before the public execution of Fire Fist Ace, and destroy the Bigo Pirates with overwhelming force. This will not only deter the villains of the world, but also demonstrate to the world the Navy's determination that no one can stop us from carrying out justice, and that the Navy is capable of bringing peace and a future to the people!"

Upon hearing this, many generals' eyes gleamed, and their hearts were filled with fervor.

Although Yang Ming, as the youngest marshal in naval history, has adopted many radical strategies since taking office, which has aroused dissatisfaction among many conservative generals, who believe that Yang Ming's radical approach will lead to a large number of casualties in the navy.

However, it must be said that Yang Ming's domineering approach, his desire to wipe out the Bigo Pirates in one fell swoop, and his confident demeanor and disdain for the enemy, truly possess a strong personal charisma and appeal. Even the conservative naval commanders, who were slightly dissatisfied, were inevitably captivated by Yang Ming's charisma.

Chapter 364: Combine vertically and horizontally

However, it must be said that Yang Ming's domineering approach, his desire to wipe out the Bigo Pirates in one fell swoop, and his confident demeanor and disdain for his enemies, truly possessed a strong personal charisma and appeal. Even the conservative naval commanders, who were slightly dissatisfied, were now captivated by Yang Ming's charisma.

Every general who can become a lieutenant general has an experience that could be written into a dramatic and extraordinary novel in the eyes of ordinary people. They started from being trainee naval officers and gradually worked their way up to where they are today. Each of them has their own unique sense of justice.

Regardless of whether their justice is absolute, lazy, or ambiguous, they all share a common characteristic: when it comes to pirates, especially the Four Emperors, they all have sufficient reason and motivation to eliminate these people in order to uphold their own sense of justice.

That being said, none of the people present were fools.

Currently, they are making intensive preparations for the public execution of Fire Fist Ace, and they need to take care of all aspects, which requires a lot of manpower and resources. At this critical juncture, Yang Ming suddenly declared that he would first start a war with the Big Pirates. Even though the Navy is large and powerful, it is probably beyond their capabilities.

Even Sakazuki, the notoriously warlike Admiral of Akainu, after a moment's hesitation, couldn't help but speak up and offer his advice:

"marshal……"

Facing this much younger man, Sakazuki, the Admiral of Akainu, felt a little strange and awkward, even a tiny bit embarrassed, as he was forced to address him as Marshal.

Fortunately, Admiral Sakazuki of Akainu always had a poker face, and it was difficult for others to detect his embarrassment from his micro-expressions. All that could be heard was his calm and collected voice saying:

"Conservatively estimated, the Bigo Pirates have 200,000 troops, distributed across dozens of islands in Whole Cake Island. To completely annihilate the Bigo Pirates and leave no survivors, based on the idea of ​​besieging the city with ten times the number of troops, at least two million troops would be needed. Even if these troops were converted into strongmen, at least ten admiral-level fighters would be needed to ensure success."

"But right now, even if we manage to gather enough strong men and troops in our navy, the sheer volume of manpower and resources we can mobilize will not escape the notice of those who are interested. I'm afraid that before we even attack Whole Cake Island, the Bigo Pirates will have already contacted those forces and powerful individuals who have married into their families to form an alliance to hinder us."

"Even more pessimistically, if we consider the possibility that the Whitebeard Pirates, fearing the loss of their own, might be spurred on by our Navy's actions and form an alliance with the Bigo Pirates ahead of time, creating an extremely formidable fighting force, our chances of winning would be greatly reduced."

Admiral Sakazuki of Akainu voiced the concerns of many officers present. Even Yang Ming's direct subordinates, such as Smoker, spoke up to offer their advice:

"Marshal, please reconsider!"

Yang Ming tapped his fingers lightly on the table, raised his eyes slightly, and looked at his strategist, Lieutenant General Jonathan, saying:

"Jonathan, what are your thoughts?"

Upon hearing this, everyone turned their gazes in unison.

Since the Warring States Marshal was promoted to Commander-in-Chief of the Three Armies, Garp, Vice Admiral Tsuru, and Chief Instructor Zephyr have all retired. Jonathan has taken over Vice Admiral Tsuru's position and become Marshal Shura's chief strategist.

During his time in the G5 Marine branch, Jonathan used his resourcefulness to wipe out a large number of pirates in the surrounding waters, accumulating a wealth of achievements and merits.

That's why everyone is curious about what unique insights Jonathan has.

Meeting the probing gazes of the crowd, Jonathan calmly stood up and said: "Reading La."

"The Big Mom Pirates have been forging alliances through marriage for decades, establishing kinship ties with numerous powerful figures and creating a deeply entrenched network of relationships in the New World. However, just as the Big Mom Pirates' power is at its zenith, so too has Charlotte Linlin and her children become increasingly arrogant and domineering in recent years. Anyone who fails to deliver sweets on time will have their island and kingdom razed to the ground by the Big Mom Pirates."

"The more arrogant and domineering the Bigo Pirates are, the more people and forces they offend in secret. It's just that most of the people who are bullied choose to endure it because of Big Mom Charlotte Linlin's top-notch fighting power. But that doesn't mean they will forget their hatred and humiliation. On the contrary, as time goes by, this hatred and humiliation will gradually settle down and become more and more deeply rooted."

"For example, the Vinsmoke family of North Sea, or the Mink tribe, and so on."

"The Marshal's combat prowess is unparalleled; everyone in the world knows him."

"If the Fleet Admiral invites those who have been bullied by the Bigo Pirates and tells them directly that he intends to raise an army to punish the Bigo Pirates, these people will definitely respond enthusiastically to his call."

"At that time, there will be countless followers. If we further fan the flames in the newspapers and create the illusion that the Bigo Pirates' power is like a candle flickering in the wind, it will inevitably attract the attention of many pirates who want to make a name for themselves in one battle, as well as bounty hunters who want to hunt pirates for high bounties. Although these people's combat strength is negligible, they can create momentum for us and at the same time distract a large number of the Bigo Pirates' middle and lower-ranking soldiers."

"As long as we can strike at the heart of the enemy and wipe out Big Mom Charlotte Linlin, the leader of the Big Pirates, along with her children and husband, the others will scatter like monkeys falling from a tree, and won't be worth mentioning at all."

Vice Admiral Jonathan explained in detail that the seemingly powerful Bigo Pirates had actually been walking step by step toward the edge of a cliff, and had already reached the point where everyone hated them. They were just one push away from behind, and they would fall into an endless abyss.

Hearing this analysis, not only did Yang Ming nod in agreement, but everyone else also felt admiration.

A brute who only knows how to use force, fighting and killing on the battlefield, may seem brave.

But these wise men who use their brains are the ones who reside in high places and can decide the life, death, and fate of others with a casual remark!

Fortunately, this person was not an enemy, but stood on the side of their navy; otherwise, they wouldn't even know how they died.

Yang Ming nodded repeatedly, smiling as he looked at Jonathan and said:

"The Bigo Pirates have formed alliances with many powerful individuals and forces through marriage. In return, our Navy will use its reputation and profits to unite with many individuals and forces that have been oppressed by the Bigo Pirates. This mission is entrusted to you. Are you confident that you can complete the mission perfectly?"

Chapter 365 Mobilization

Yang Ming nodded repeatedly, smiling as he looked at Jonathan and said:

"The Bigo Pirates have formed alliances with many powerful individuals and forces through marriage. In return, our Navy will use its reputation and profits to unite with many individuals and forces that have been oppressed by the Bigo Pirates. This mission is entrusted to you. Are you confident that you can complete the mission perfectly?"

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man, wearing a white naval cap and sporting a thick mustache, stood firm like a vigorous young man, saluted Yang Ming, and declared, "I have pledged my allegiance to the military."

"Please rest assured, Marshal, I will use my persuasive tongue to reason with them and appeal to their emotions, to contact all the powerful figures and forces, and to bind them to our warship!"

Jonathan was also an old acquaintance of Yang Ming. This man, known for his wisdom and resourcefulness, had the ability to change the course of a battle, so Yang Ming was naturally very confident in letting him do things boldly.

However, just in case Jonathan was secretly killed along the way, Yang Ming transferred Green Bull Aramaki, who had already been promoted to vice admiral, to Jonathan's side and ordered the two of them to set off together. This was also to help Green Bull Aramaki accumulate merits and achievements, so as to pave the way for his future power grab and promotion to admiral.

Defeating any of the Four Emperors is no easy task.

In particular, the Bigo Pirates and the Beasts Pirates are different. At that time, the Beasts Pirates were in Wano Country, which was closed off from the outside world. The outside world knew nothing about what was happening in Wano Country, which allowed Yang Ming to find an opportunity to wipe out the Beasts Pirates without alerting others.

The Bigo Pirates are located in Whole Cake Island and have always maintained close ties with the leaders of the underworld. Yang Ming needs to make thorough preparations in order to achieve victory in one fell swoop.

Otherwise, if the Bigo Pirates see the situation is not good and choose to abandon their base in Whole Cake Island and become rootless pirates again, the power of the Four Emperors would be enough to stir up frequent battles in this sea.

Furthermore, if Charlotte Linlin were to set aside her pride as a powerful woman and specifically target a weak naval branch base, it would cause huge casualties to the navy and indirectly undermine Yang Ming's prestige.

Therefore, after Yang Ming determined that the general direction of eliminating the Bigo Pirates would be to first fight the Whitebeard Pirates before the final battle at Marineford, the entire Marine Headquarters began to operate like a precise machine.

Large quantities of supplies were transported to Caesar Clown's research institutions to expand the research workforce. At the same time, efforts were intensified to improve the production efficiency of artificial Devil Fruits and to begin setting up a production line for the Iron Man Mark armor, preparing to replace manual production with mechanization, thereby enabling large-scale production of the Iron Man Mark armor.

The logistics department was also busy. Guns, ammunition, knives, uniforms and boots—supplies that seem ordinary on a daily basis—required large-scale preparation. In the process, they also had to be vigilant against anyone cutting corners or embezzling funds.

The production and maintenance of guns and ammunition, in particular, are of paramount importance.

Nobody wants to find sand seeping into their shells when war is about to break out.

Yang Ming did not hesitate to assume the worst about the quartermaster, because he did not believe in human nature, nor did he believe that everyone possessed noble character and could remain unmoved in the face of enormous benefits.

This is like modern builders constructing houses, using foam instead of plastic in many of the walls, which is simply a shoddy construction project. Are these builders all idiots?

Naturally not.

When profits reach 10%, they will become restless; when profits reach 50%, they will take risks; when profits reach 100%, they will dare to trample on all human laws; when profits reach 300%, they will dare to risk being hanged.

Every time a quartermaster withholds a portion of supplies, it is the greatest betrayal of the soldiers who are about to rush to the front lines.

To this end, Yang Ming also established a special enforcement team that combines supervision and enforcement. The team members are selected from the most loyal members of the governor's army and are specifically assigned to supervise logistics production and maintenance in the logistics workshops, allowing no overstepping of authority.

In addition, Yang Ming selflessly passed on the method of the Vajra Indestructible Child Skill that the Governor's soldiers originally practiced to all the navy personnel. Now that he is the Marshal of Asura, his word is law in the Navy Headquarters, so he doesn't have to worry about anyone coveting it. He can openly teach it to all the navy soldiers to improve their combat power.

Once mastered, the Vajra Indestructible Child Skill is equivalent to a state of constant iron block throughout the body. If this is combined with the iron block of the Six Styles of the Navy, the defensive ability is comparable to Armament Haki.

What's even more encouraging is that the training of this technique progresses very quickly. As long as one trains rigorously during the training period and has a large supply of protein-rich food afterward, one can succeed in training in the shortest possible time.

Of course, this method has both advantages and disadvantages. (Reading by La)

The Vajra Indestructible Child Skill, as the name suggests, is specifically for single people to practice. Once you get a girlfriend, the skill will be broken, and not only will you be unable to continue practicing, but your cultivation may also deteriorate.

Even with such a huge flaw, it's practically a god-tier skill, especially considering that most naval personnel are single.
