One Piece meme: Starting with eight extraordinary skills

What the hell!

Why is this Marshal Shura the Sea King Poseidon?

What is my daughter?

Fortunately, Queen Otohime had already taken on Yang Ming's form. She took King Neptune's arm, leaned close to him, and whispered sweetly in his ear:

“Darling, if we look at it from another angle, maybe this is a good thing! Think about it, now that you’ve decided to change course and join the Navy, if Marshal Shura becomes Poseidon, Shirahoshi won’t have to suffer anymore, and we can finally relax.”

King Neptune: "???"

What kind of yellow-haired idiot is this?

Chapter 389 Fishman Island Naval Branch

“Darling, if we look at it from another angle, maybe this is a good thing! Think about it, now that you’ve decided to change course and join the Navy, if Marshal Shura becomes Poseidon, Shirahoshi won’t have to suffer anymore, and we can finally relax.”

King Neptune: "???"

What kind of yellow-haired idiot is this?

King Neptune became depressed.

It's one thing for the beloved mermaid princess Shirahoshi to be throwing herself at Marshal Shura, but why is she even throwing herself at someone else's wife?

Am I getting old, or am I no longer able to lift a knife?

Regardless of whether King Neptune was cuckolded, life had to go on.

After giving the green light to the Dragon Palace Kingdom and setting aside hundreds of acres of land on Fishman Island as a naval branch, Vice Admiral Domino, Rear Admiral Ian, and Colonel Kuina immediately rushed over from the Naval Headquarters at Yang Ming's request.

After years of experience, Ain has been promoted to major general, and Kuina has risen from an unknown private to a colonel, enjoying immense prestige.

Beside Kuina followed a girl who looked remarkably like her.

Both girls are dashing and spirited, with the same long black hair, wearing pink plaid shirts and red-rimmed glasses. When they walk side by side, they look like twin sisters, making it hard to tell them apart.

Tashigi was a talent that Kuina poached from Smoker's side. When they first met, Kuina was immediately amazed by Tashigi's beauty. She never imagined that there was another person in the world who looked exactly like her. What's even more bizarre is that they were born on the same day, month, and year.

If Kuina hadn't known that her father, Koushirou, hadn't had an affair, she would have almost suspected that this was her long-lost best friend.

Tashigi and Kuina have completely opposite personalities.

Kuina is outgoing and generous, while Tashigi is shy and reserved.

Along the way, Tashigi's heart pounded with excitement at the thought of meeting the idol of all the naval officers and soldiers. She said:

"Colonel Kuina, Marshal Shura has ordered us to establish a naval branch on Fishman Island to train the Fishman race as instructors. What are your thoughts on this?"

"Who knows?"

Kuina pursed her lips, patted the scabbard at her waist, and grinned:

"All I know is that if any merman dares to disobey me in the future, he'll be beaten up without a doubt!"

Seeing the restless Kuina, Tashigi shrank back and silently mourned for the fish-man soldiers for a few seconds.

As Kuina's closest confidante, Tashigi knew perfectly well why.

Since the Straw Hat Pirates left the Alabasta Kingdom some time ago, they have become famous. The Straw Hat Pirates' vice-captain, Roronoa Zoro, has a bounty of 6000 million Berries, which is now displayed in the mission hall.

When Kuina saw the bounty poster, she became like a middle-aged woman going through menopause, her temper becoming exceptionally volatile. She was quick to resort to violence, as if she had been subjected to some intense stimulus. In addition to doubling her training volume, she would often mutter inexplicable words to herself, such as "I am the strongest swordsman in the dojo" and "I will not lose to a mere loser."

terrible!

Girls like that are absolutely terrifying!

Compared to Kuina and Tashigi, Lieutenant General Domino and Major General Ian appeared much more mature and composed.

Instead of rushing to the naval branch on Fishman Island, they conducted an on-site investigation of the island's geography, culture, social classes, and local customs. After doing thorough research, they gained a comprehensive understanding of the actual situation on Fishman Island and finally understood why Marshal Shura had assigned them to this important mission.

It could be said that Fishman Island, located 10,000 meters below sea level, appears to be a place of great prosperity, but in reality, it is a place of extreme hardship.

The entire Ryugu Kingdom is like sitting on a powder keg. The conflicts between merfolk and fish-men have been accumulating for hundreds of years and have long become a social ill. If it weren't for the racial conflict between fish-men and humans, which diverted the internal conflicts of the Ryugu Kingdom, this powder keg would probably have exploded long ago.

In the past few years, Queen Otohime distributed leaflets widely, striving to gain the recognition of humans. To some extent, this temporarily blurred the conflict between mermaids and fish-men, uniting them as one against a common enemy, and achieved some success.

Unfortunately, the living conditions of the fish-men remained unchanged.

The merfolk mostly live in the lower levels of cheap coral reef apartments or in the dirty and dark merfolk street. There are no official statistics, and no one knows exactly how many merfolk live there. However, just along their journey, while visiting and investigating the merfolk street, they have been ambushed no less than twenty times. The attackers are usually young and strong merfolk thugs.

These fish-men are deprived of education and have no normal means to live a normal life. To survive, they can only rely on deception and theft. Living in such a harsh environment for a long time has distorted their character and values.

After completing these on-site investigations, Vice Admiral Domino and Rear Admiral Ain had a plan in mind before they took Kuina, Tashigi, and other instructors to the newly established naval branch on Fishman Island to meet with Fleet Admiral Shura.

With King Neptune's approval, the Dragon Palace Kingdom fully supported the establishment of the naval branch, and with the assistance of a large amount of manpower and resources, it was completed in less than a week.

From the top, the entire naval branch base looks like a giant seashell. Deep-sea plants are planted in rows on both sides of the road, and seaweed sways with the direction of the ocean current, as if waving to passers-by. The dormitories built from coral reefs stand on the edge of Fishman Island, from where you can see the deep sea view outside Fishman Island.

When they arrived, they saw the majestic man they admired sitting cross-legged in mid-air above the playground, surrounded by a tangible pressure, with the four elements of wind, thunder, water, and fire constantly swirling around Yang Ming.

At this moment, Yang Ming was like a monarch who controlled the elements. The unsettling power of the four elements of wind, thunder, water, and fire condensed into four different colored elemental spheres of green, purple, blue, and red. Just like the moon orbiting a planet, they rotated and lingered in a clockwise direction. When Yang Ming slowly opened his eyes, it seemed as if the whole world was reflected in them.

At this moment, Yang Ming was like a monarch who controlled the elements. The unsettling power of the four elements of wind, thunder, water, and fire condensed into four different colored elemental spheres of green, purple, blue, and red. Just like the moon orbiting a planet, they rotated and lingered in a clockwise direction. When Yang Ming slowly opened his eyes, it seemed as if the whole world was reflected in them.

Of course, Lieutenant General Domino and Major General Ian also understood that this was just a misconception on their part. It was only because Marshal Shura's strength was far inferior to theirs that they had this subconscious thought, just like how people eight hundred years ago would subconsciously worship the Lunaria people as if they were gods.

These are all natural, reflexive reactions of ignorant mortals when facing a powerful individual with unparalleled strength.

Lieutenant General Domino and Major General Ian stared infatuated at the magnificent man before them. Which young girl doesn't dream of love? They just haven't found the right person yet.

Regardless of location or race, the admiration for strength deeply ingrained in females has long been established. Especially now, with Yang Ming wielding immense power, the Navy has steadily climbed to its peak under his leadership, possessing the strongest combat power outside of the World Government. He has power, fame, wealth, and strength all in one, making him an indescribably attractive figure to any woman.

Fortunately, the two women were aware of the difference in their current status and position, and could only silently bury their feelings in their hearts, not daring to confide in outsiders.

Yang Ming opened his eyes, looked calmly at the women, and said:

Do you know why I have summoned you here?

Although Yang Ming's voice was calm, as the saying goes, "one's body is nourished by its environment, and one's spirit is nurtured by one's surroundings." Having held a high position for a long time, his domineering aura had long been integrated into his daily life. His seemingly ordinary words were like a thunderclap from a clear sky, exploding in the ears of the women.

Fortunately, this was not true Conqueror's Haki; it merely caused a wave of shock in the hearts of the women.

"Just what level of strength has the Marshal reached now?"

The Navy has always been a place with a clear hierarchy, and among the women, Vice Admiral Domino has the highest rank, so naturally she is the one who reports the situation personally.

"Reporting to the Marshal."

Lieutenant General Domino stepped out from the crowd, her tight clothes causing her chest to ripple with an alluring curve. The collar was unbuttoned, revealing a large expanse of snow-white skin and stunning curves. When she leaned forward slightly, Yang Ming could clearly see a breathtaking sight.

Yang Ming felt a little dazed. It had been a long time since they had met. Domino was still the same as before, wearing a white shirt underneath a brown jacket and brown trousers, paired with dark red high boots and dark red gloves, and a pair of reddish-brown sunglasses, which gave her a more ascetic beauty.

Having been transferred from the deep-sea prison to the Navy Headquarters for training over the years, Domino has become increasingly mature and beautiful, like a ripe peach waiting to be picked by the destined person. She exudes a mature charm that makes people's eyes light up.

"Fishman Island is located at the junction of Paradise in the first half of the Grand Line and the New World in the second half. Its geographical location is extremely important. It was previously protected by the Whitebeard Pirates, which adds a certain symbolic meaning to it. In addition, the complex social environment of the Ryugu Kingdom makes it clear to us that the significance of our Navy stationed here is not only to train the Fishman army, but also to use it as a pilot project to promote it to the outside world."

After Lieutenant General Domino briefly outlined his views, Yang Ming nodded repeatedly with satisfaction and said:

"Now that you've handled this, I feel much more at ease."

After saying this, Yang Ming's surroundings fluctuated, and he disappeared from everyone's sight in a visible manner.

Even though the women were already used to Yang Ming's mysterious and unpredictable methods, they still couldn't help but feel a bit emotional whenever they saw them.

This was the first time Tashigi had ever been so close to Marshal Shura. In the past, she had always served as Lieutenant General Smoker's follower, so this was the first time she had witnessed Yang Ming's methods, and she couldn't help but show a look of great shock.

Fortunately, the women had all been through the same thing, so no one mocked them; instead, they offered words of comfort and reassurance.

Yang Ming has always looked down on those incompetent people who are ruthless to their own people but weak to outsiders. Under his leadership, the atmosphere in the navy is extremely harmonious and united. They support each other and rarely see each other undermining or mocking each other, which is rare in other places.

"Sisters!"

After Yang Ming left, Lieutenant General Domino clapped his hands to draw everyone's attention and said:

"I'm sure everyone is aware of the importance of this naval branch base. Since the Marshal has appointed me as the base commander, I must do my utmost to repay his kindness. The naval branch is still in its initial stages, so I urge everyone to work together to create something great and show those men at Naval Headquarters that women can hold up half the sky in the navy!" (Shu La)

Lieutenant General Domino's speech stirred the hearts of Major General Ian and the other women.

Who says women are inferior to men?

In this world rife with gender discrimination, women always encounter numerous obstacles on their path to becoming powerful.

Major General Ian, Colonel Kuina, and Lieutenant Colonel Tashigi, these outstanding women, had long been eager to make their mark.

Now is an opportunity!

Having something to look forward to in life is essential to fully mobilizing people's initiative.

During his time as Marshal of the Navy Headquarters, Yang Ming gained a deeper understanding of how to manage subordinates. Simply making empty promises is useless; you must show your subordinates tangible benefits and let them feel a strong sense of accomplishment and achievement in completing their tasks. This will be enough to unleash their full potential.

Now, faced with the bait thrown out by Yang Ming, both Lieutenant General Domino and Major General Ai En willingly accepted it and transformed into hard-working individuals, actively promoting the implementation of the work.

In order to inspire the enthusiasm of the fishmen to join the army, Vice Admiral Domino made a bold move and increased the annual salary of trainee naval officers to 300,000 Berries, privates to 350,000 Berries, privates to 380,000 Berries, and privates to 400,000 Berries, which is almost twice the income of soldiers in other naval branch bases!

Chapter 391 A Thousand Troops Crossing a Single-Plank Bridge

In order to inspire the enthusiasm of the fishmen to join the army, Vice Admiral Domino made a bold move and increased the annual salary of trainee naval officers to 300,000 Berries, privates to 350,000 Berries, privates to 380,000 Berries, and privates to 400,000 Berries, which is almost twice the income of soldiers in other naval branch bases!

As the saying goes, people die for wealth, and birds die for food.

Even with the Dragon Palace Kingdom's propaganda and promotion over the years, and the fact that the fish-people generally harbor hatred towards humans, they still couldn't resist the sheer amount of money that Vice Admiral Domino gave them!

When the Navy branch's recruitment flyers fluttered over Fishman Island, the entire island was in an uproar!

"My God! Can this be real? The highest annual income for soldiers can be 40 Berries, plus room and board included? Is there really such a good thing?"

"After seeing this flyer, the sashimi in my hand suddenly didn't taste so good."

In an instant, many fishmen were mobilized.

As one of the former officers of the Arlong Pirates, Hachi, the octopus-man, runs a small shop called Takoyaki No. 8 after returning to Fishman Island. He lives a very frugal life, and his daily turnover, after deducting utility bills and rent, is barely enough to make ends meet. Although he is not as carefree as he was when he was a pirate, he doesn't have to live in constant fear of being found by the Navy.

When Pappagu the starfish arrived at the shop with a leaflet from the Navy branch, Hachi was skillfully flipping the takoyaki on the teppanyaki grill with chopsticks.

On a specially designed grid-like grid, the takoyaki is grilled until its outer skin is golden brown, and the takoyaki inside, mixed with the aroma of fresh octopus juice, fills the air, making every passerby stop and buy a serving to take home.

Starfish Papagu swallowed hard, raised the flyer in his hand, and said:

"Little Eight! Little Eight! Look what good things I brought you!"
