One Piece Talk King: Starting with Commentary on Devil Fruits

"But we have no idea where the Sea God's Treasure Vault is! The light screen doesn't reveal its exact location either. It's so annoying; they always only tell us half the story."

The three princes, Shark Star, Emperor Star, and Overturning Star, argued in front of their father. They had lived on Fishman Island for many years, but they only had one thing related to the Sea God.

One of Vander Decken IX's subordinates was a red-finned pufferfish man over eighty meters tall. This bald man was known as the Sea God, but he was extremely stupid and had no connection to the Sea God's treasure trove.

Neptune, seated on his throne, sighed: "The appearance of the Sea God's Treasury may be a disaster for our Fish-Man Island. Arm the Dragon Palace's army and raise their vigilance. You will take charge of the Shark Star matter. Even if we find that legendary treasury, the Dragon Palace's strength will not be able to protect it."

King Neptune of the Mermaids had no other choice but to passively wait for the unknown enemy to make the first move. Unfortunately, Queen Otohime died too early, and the entire Mermaid Island had become disloyal to the Dragon Palace. A useless king who could not protect his people was not someone his people needed.

The words of Fizz, the little fishman in the light screen, poured cold water on Fishman Island again, reminding everyone that the Sea God's Treasury was not so easy to obtain.

Nami laughed like a female villain, "Hehehe, without Fizz's Trident of Poseidon, even if the mermaids turn Fishman Island upside down, they still won't find the entrance to Poseidon's treasure vault. The treasure inside will still be ours. Sooner or later, I will empty the vault."

The navigator's greedy expression left Fitz speechless. Robin was definitely better. "Once we reach the One Piece, I might go back. I have no feelings for Fishman Island, and I have even less interest in being the sea god. I prefer to stay in the lighthouse."

Robin knew the inside story. She gently stroked Fitz's blue head and comforted him, "Fitz, don't be sad. The merfolk and fishmen don't accept you, but we will always be your companions. You are no longer alone."

"I can never forgive the fish-men race. They killed my loved ones. I can never forgive them..."

It's truly amazing that a merman hates the merman race.

Chapter 80 General Akin

The information about the Dark Blade Tenseiga, the Sea God's Treasury, and the Sea God's Trident was recorded. Most people speculated that the rich burial goods Nami received after her death might be related to the little fish Fizz. The idea of ​​a treasure worth nearly ten trillion Berries was enough to make any pirate's heart flutter.

With the exposure of Fishman Island by the light screen, a treasure hunt craze has begun, and the capture of mermaid slaves is also underway. The two things combined do not prevent the pirates from making money.

The bombshell was dropped early the next morning, which excited all the viewers watching on the screen. They were even more eager to see what would happen next. Pirates were sailing all over the sea, so why weren't the Marines doing anything about it?

"I've been out of touch with the news these past few years, and I feel like there are more admirals in the navy now."

Zoro was deeply impressed by the female admiral who wielded a sword. He had never seen her style before, and her swordsmanship was incredibly powerful. He wondered where the Navy had found such a helper.

Sanji trained in the Kingdom of Kamabakka Kingdom, Nami learned about celestial phenomena on a small sky island, Luffy trained with Buggy the Clown and Rayleigh, and so on. Most of the crew members trained desperately for five years, occasionally glancing at the newspapers. They had no direct understanding of what was really happening on the sea.

Robin's experience was quite different from that of Fitz the Fishman. For the first three years, she was relatively unaffected and didn't move much. However, for the last two years, she was constantly being chased by the Marines. The Marines in the future were like mad dogs.

"Luffy, I have some bad news. For the past three years, I've been with the Revolutionary Army. At the end of that year, the Navy deployed four Admiral-level fighters, all of whom are Logia-type Devil Fruit users. The Revolutionary Army's headquarters, Baltigo on White Plate Island, was destroyed by the Navy."

The Devil Child's two years of travel with the Straw Hat crew softened her heart. Faced with a one-sided massacre, Nico Robin was completely helpless and could only desperately run away. She was also being chased by a blue-haired admiral.

"Four admirals?!"

"Why has the newspaper never mentioned the expansion of the naval admirals? This is a momentous event!"

"It's quite strange that the destruction of the Revolutionary Army headquarters wasn't reported in the newspapers; such a victory shouldn't be concealed."

Robin's face was grim. She didn't want to recall this cruel memory any further. Many of those who protected her had given their lives. "If it weren't for my physical condition that allowed me to float on the sea, Fitz wouldn't have had the chance to rescue me, and perhaps you wouldn't be seeing me now." (Big breasts, great buoyancy)

Luffy didn't react much to the news. He knew his father was the leader of the Revolutionary Army, but the two of them had rarely met since childhood. He was raised by the townspeople of Windmill Village, and occasionally when his grandfather Garp returned to the East Blue, he would be subjected to special training with his fists. He was really unfamiliar with fatherly love.

"I'm not very interested in the Revolutionary Army headquarters. Doesn't the Navy only have three admirals?" Luffy picked his nose and thought with his little brain. This question was a bit beyond his level. He had only seen Kizaru, Aokiji, and Akainu during the Marineford War. Those three guys were troublesome enough.

"In this naval battle, the Revolutionary Army officers and elite naval soldiers all addressed these four men as Admirals: Admiral White Horse, Admiral Blue Snake, Admiral Green Bull, and Admiral Kizaru. Each of their attacks was a catastrophe."

Robin's words drew the attention of her crew. They had never heard of the first three admirals before, and with the addition of the female admiral who was chasing the Straw Hat crew on Fishman Island, they had already encountered five admirals!

"A Marine Admiral won't easily grant a position to someone of low strength. The Marines have truly undergone radical reforms since the Marineford War, which isn't good news for us pirates."

Usopp has some bad memories of the Marine Admirals, and the thought of encountering even more Marine Admirals on his journey ahead makes him feel like he's going to die as soon as he lands on the island.

"The weather really changes so quickly!"

Just moments ago the sky was clear and blue, but now a large patch of dark clouds has appeared above the Thousand Sunny, flashing with lightning as rain is brewing, and a storm is brewing on the calm sea.

"I'm a Logia-type Cloud-Cloud Fruit user, these dark clouds are no problem for me. Dispel them!"

The dark clouds overhead were drawn by Nami's Devil Fruit, and were either directly dispersed or split apart by it. She can create clouds and destroy them at the same time. After studying celestial phenomena for five years, this was no challenge for her.

A small amount of rain still fell on the deck of the Thousand Sunny, but thanks to Nami's ability, the Straw Hat crew escaped a sea storm. The ability to control clouds is really convenient for a navigator.

"Someone's boarding! Everyone be careful!" The swordsman Zoro, who had been resting with his eyes closed, sensed the presence of strangers on the Sunny with his Observation Haki. He opened one eye and searched for the target.

The rainwater that was originally dripping on the deck began to gather on its own. First, human limbs appeared one by one, and soon a human silhouette less than two meters tall appeared in front of the Straw Hat crew.

The raindrops eventually gathered together, revealing a man nearly two meters tall wearing a naval cloak over his back, with a blue shirt underneath. Two snakes were tattooed on his bare chest, one on each side, and his thick, blue hair was particularly striking.

"Straw Hat Luffy, do you still recognize me now?"

"You're Ah Jin?!"

Luffy didn't even need time to think about the name that was suddenly revealed, and the other crew members were even more confused, questioning in unison, "How did you recognize it?"

"Isn't it obvious? Only Ah Jin, whom we met in Donghai, had such heavy dark circles under his eyes. He's easy to recognize. He hasn't changed at all."

"Easy to recognize? Easy my foot! He's changed everything except for his dark circles!" Sanji couldn't control his fist and left a big bump on the rubber man's head. He hadn't recognized him at all. He would have forgotten about Gin if Gin hadn't been mentioned.

"As expected of Luffy, when we said goodbye at the Baratie, I said we would meet again on the Grand Line. After all these years, I'm so glad to finally meet you all again."

At this moment, Gin is wearing the Navy's justice cloak, proving that he has changed from a pirate to a Navy member. However, since he doesn't seem to be making a move, perhaps he can still be considered a friend? Sanji, before he became a transvestite, once gave him a meal.

Robin's face paled even more upon seeing the newcomer's features, his expression filled with hatred and rage. "Should I call you Mr. Gold, or should I call you General Blue Serpent?"

With his dark circles under his eyes, Gin looked even more gloomy after his identity was exposed. "Miss Robin, you should be glad you joined the Straw Hat Pirates, otherwise you would have been buried by my rain just like the Revolutionary Army Commander Crow. You should be glad that I am the general who attacked White Earth Island."

Character Notes: Admiral Blue Snake - Arkin, a Logia-type Devil Fruit user (Rain-Rain Fruit).

Chapter 81 Advice

The fact that an unknown naval admiral knew about this beforehand would benefit everyone, and that the navy would have to analyze the contents of the light screen line by line, would be most unpleasant for the pirates.

Luffy withdrew his grin and solemnly asked his old friend, "Gin, did you harm Robin at the Revolutionary Army headquarters?"

The admiral, embodying the righteous spirit of the Navy, simply shook his head when questioned by a pirate. "Without me, Miss Robin wouldn't have been able to leave White Earth Island alive. Although the process was rather complicated, I only ensured her survival. As for the others, they were not within my consideration."

Hearing this answer, Luffy's smile returned. "Then there's no problem. As long as you don't hurt Robin, we'll always be good friends."

The captain's unusual thought process left the other crew members speechless, but it seemed that the newly appointed admiral did not intend to take action on the Thousand Sunny.

"Luffy, I'll go back to my room first. You guys chat."

"Okay, Robin."

Robin knows his captain well. As long as this person doesn't cross his bottom line or harm his friends and allies, he won't care about anything else.

Although Luffy is the son of the Revolutionary Army leader, his impression of the Revolutionary Army is just so-so. He doesn't feel like he's truly one of them because he's not part of Luffy's faction. At this point, he doesn't know that his other sworn brother, Sabo, is in the Revolutionary Army.

"Sanji, it seems you've changed the most. What have you been through these past few years? I remember you used to like beautiful women, didn't you? Have you become so perverted that you want to become a woman yourself?"

When Akin saw Sanji dressed as a transvestite, he couldn't help but complain. If it weren't for Sanji's signature curly eyebrows still on his head, he wouldn't have dared to recognize him.

Sanji, the transvestite, was smoking a cigarette. Although Luffy still considered Gin a friend, the thought of Robin's frightened expression made him realize that what this guy had done was definitely not simple. He had left a psychological scar on a mature woman. What exactly did this Marine Admiral do at the Revolutionary Army headquarters?

He cut to the chase and asked, "Ah Jin, what brings you here so suddenly? Our identities are different now. You're a Marine and we're pirates. Let's not cause any unnecessary misunderstandings. Explain your purpose."

With his dark circles under his eyes, Akin looked at Sanji, the transvestite in a skirt and stockings, and an invisible distance seemed to grow between them. "I was hoping to mooch a meal from your cooking, but since you're so eager to know, I'll just say it directly: you're going to Dressrosa, right? I hope that when you arrive on that island, you'll do your shopping and leave immediately without stopping."

His words surprised the Straw Hat crew present. Contrary to their expectations, the Marine Admiral was not there to cause trouble; it seemed that Gin had come specifically to deliver a message.

"Is Dressrosa the Navy's next target?"

"Zoro, I can't tell you more. Dressrosa is about to become a battlefield, and I don't want to drag you into it. There's another Marine Admiral on the battlefield, and if a real fight breaks out, there are some things I won't be able to attend to."

Akin's reply to Zoro made everyone present realize the seriousness of the matter. The Navy had actually sent two admirals to Dressrosa. It was truly baffling what had attracted the Navy to send two of their top combatants.

"Alright, enough chit-chat. I've been gone long enough. I'm giving you this message before heading back to the warship. Who knows when we'll meet again? Have a safe adventure!"

A friendly smile appeared on Akin's gloomy face. After saying this, his body actively transformed into elements, turning into raindrops that were absorbed into the air. He then transformed into a dark cloud and drifted away from the Sky of the Thousand Sunny. He really came and went quickly.

Luffy stretched his body and jumped onto the sun's head, waving goodbye to the clouds flying away on the horizon: "Gin, we must meet again next time! Your ability to turn into a cloud is really interesting!"

Having received advice from a Marine Admiral, the Straw Hat crew was in a dilemma. Buying the Log Pose for the next island in Dressrosa and replenishing supplies on the ship wouldn't be difficult, but they had a feeling that things wouldn't be that simple.

"Don't overthink it, everyone. Let's head towards Dressrosa! Nothing can stop us!"

Optimistic Luffy sat on the head of the sun, arms outstretched, welcoming the sun. He was not intimidated by the two admirals. He didn't care what was going to happen in Dressrosa. He could do whatever he wanted, and no one could force him to do whatever he didn't want to.

"Luffy is still the same as always, what are we worried about?"

"Let's think about what to eat today. Fitz, go back into the sea and catch another fish. Robin's in a bad mood, I'll cook her a top-notch fish meal."

"I'd like to check what supplies the ship needs; we can save time once we get to Dressrosa."

The Straw Hat crew in the light screen chatted amongst themselves, and the perspective shifted to the dark cloud that had just drifted away. The camera had been moving across the sea for an unknown amount of time when a massive fleet appeared on the horizon, consisting of more than twenty naval warships, all heading towards Dressrosa.

Akin, transformed into a dark cloud, floated to the top of a warship and rained down on the deck. Under the watchful eyes of the naval soldiers, the admiral's body once again coalesced into human form and appeared before everyone's eyes.

"salute"!!!

The naval soldiers on duty saluted the admiral, and their enthusiastic expressions revealed their admiration for Akin.

Among the crowd was a bald man with a dazzlingly bright head. Seeing Akin return to the naval warship, the man, who was also the admiral's second-in-command, took the initiative to approach him. "Mr. Akin, Admiral Smoker just came to your ship. He said he would like to see you in person when you return, as there is an important operational meeting to be held."

Character Notes: Commodore Helmeppo, Zoan-type Human-Human Fruit, Mythical Zoan type, Arhat form.

"A war council? What's the point of having one? Doflamingo poses no threat to us. Our navy can just chase him down. This was originally supposed to be my mission alone, but Smoker had to interfere halfway through. He really loves meddling."

One admiral was complaining to another, but the sailors on the warship pretended not to hear. This was the private matter of the highest combatant, and the lower-ranking sailors only needed to follow orders.

"Bellmeberg, come with me and take notes. What's Smoker up to after his patrol of G-5 Naval Base?"

"Yes, sir!"

As the two naval officers performed a moonwalk, viewers watching the screen were all curious about Gin's true identity. Finally, the naval intelligence department played a crucial role, placing Gin's bounty on Fleet Admiral Sengoku's desk.

Chapter 82 Acting Marshal

In the future, a pirate could actually become a Marine Admiral. Even if the Marine high command racked their brains, they couldn't imagine what had happened in the past five years. Incorporating pirates into the Marine system is not unprecedented.
