I guarded Impel Down for a hundred years in the pirate world.

The investigation into the naval officers pointed out by Figo has also yielded results. Some were found to have committed minor offenses such as claiming credit for subordinates' work or accepting bribes. Others were accused of upholding absolute justice and committing the massacre of innocent pirate wives and children, which are unclear and difficult to explain. Still others were simply unlucky, not knowing that there were civilian prisoners on a pirate ship before ordering the cannons to be fired or that someone was caught in the crossfire during the battle.

The worst thing was when Figo pointed out Kemish at the end of the first day.

Before joining the Navy, he had married and had children, but in order to have a 'new start', he deliberately lured pirates to his hometown and slaughtered them all. In the name of revenge, he used those pirates as merits for his promotion.

Figo simply commented with one word: "Vulgar." He then left the rest to Sora to handle.

He himself began to study the points allocation, from the battle of Pleasure Street to the huge profits from capturing Mendespin and Cheryl Rohrling, and now to the profits from naval officers and colonels. Figo did not choose any of the available options.

He needs to consider all factors and maximize his strength in one go, ideally taking it to the next level, so that he can ascend to the Holy Land more easily and deal with Im more calmly, as well as the Celestial Dragons' unknown national treasure!

While he was at home writing and drawing and doing calculations, Kong also interviewed the problematic naval officers one by one. Some were warned, some were demoted, and some were even sent to Impel Down!

The punishment of more than a dozen officers at once could not be concealed and caused a huge uproar at the Navy Headquarters.

The marines were buzzing with discussion, all certain that it was related to Figo, and the officers who had spoken with Figo were even more shocked!

Gradually, the saying that Lord Figo of the Navy possessed a pair of discerning eyes that could see through all the sins of a person spread throughout the Navy Headquarters, causing the atmosphere of the entire Navy Headquarters to become solemn, and no one dared to act recklessly anymore.

Let us embrace a new era that belongs to the Navy and to justice with a better attitude!

Chapter Ninety-Five: Enhancement and Interception

Time flies, and three months have passed in the blink of an eye.

Figo stretched his limbs and ran around on the training ground of the elite battalion, followed by Lingling, who looked around boredly, Ba Jin, who was so tired he wanted to cry, and a group of new recruits from the elite battalion.

One of the assessment items for new naval recruits is running 200 laps. In elite battalions, this goal is doubled, with a single long-distance run covering a full 160 kilometers, which is even more marathon-like than a marathon.

After fifty laps of warm-up, Figo looked back and said, "I'm going to sprint now. Everyone, just like before, do what you can. If you can keep up, then keep up; if you can't, then slow down."

"Yes, sir!" the marines responded loudly.

Figo then immediately doubled his speed, and the marines also divided into different levels. Most of them followed Figo, a small number chose the original speed, and Bakkin chose the last level to stop and rest.

Then it was double speed, triple speed... When it was increased to four times speed, only five or six people, including Zefa, He, and Lingling, could keep up. When it was five times speed, only Zefa and Lingling were left. Zefa was also gritting his teeth as he kept up, as if he was risking his life.

This is a serious and hardworking young man who puts his all into everything he does. Figo has confirmed this countless times over the past three months.

He is naturally capable of growing up.

However, it's still very inexperienced.

As Figo disappeared from sight, Zephyr finally stumbled and fell behind, leaving only Lingling behind him. Lingling didn't seem to be struggling at all; she was grinning widely and found it very interesting to run closely behind Figo with him shielding her from the wind.

No matter how many times they watched it, the new recruits in the elite battalion would still be struck by Lingling's performance. It just goes to show that people are born different, and Lingling was born standing at the finish line of many people.

After running 400 laps at Figo's pace, she only had a slight sheen of sweat on her forehead. She walked over to Mia, grinned, and bent down, where Mia affectionately stood on tiptoe to wipe it clean for her.

Lingling has grown taller; she's almost four meters tall now.

Figo has grown taller, which greatly surprised Mia – why did your strength improve so significantly when you were asked to train the new recruits and lead them in basic training?

The world king who gets stronger with just casual training?

Is there really no limit?

I can't tell anything else, but you've grown from 2.8 meters to 3 meters tall, and the two sets of clothes you had at home didn't fit anymore, so you had to have them custom-made. Isn't that too obvious?

Figo has indeed improved a lot. His height has increased, which means that the restoration of his life force can no longer suppress the changes in his physique, and he must be able to unleash some of his potential!

After all, previous improvements were smooth, but this time it was a sudden leap. Figo's physical strength alone increased from 500,000+ to 660,000+, reaching the strength of Rocks. Most of this came from the Celestial Dragon Tycoon, who alone gave Figo an increase of more than 70,000!

The Gluttony King gave him Observation Haki, Mendespin gave him Swordsmanship, and Cheryl gave him Armament Haki, which boosted Figo's three stats by around 10. He made leaps and bounds in all aspects, improving his stats by the equivalent of 10 years in Impel Down!

Unfortunately, it's difficult to complete the events for these characters. All three Celestial Dragons made Figo kill himself, hating him to the bone. Among the four fake kings, there was even an absurd incident where someone said, "If I could do it all over again, I would never go to the entertainment district."

The story of Gluttony King is relatively simple. It is hoped that Lingling, who is similar to him, will grow up to be a 'good person' different from him, but it will take another 10 years for Lingling to grow up before it can be completed.

Those who needed improvement have done so, and those who needed to adapt have adapted well. The World Conference is drawing ever closer. In the past three months, the Marine Headquarters has not made any major moves, but it has been like a taut string, preparing with all its might to deal with the unprecedented changes in seven hundred years. Most of the 53 Devil Fruits have also been distributed to strengthen the Navy's power.

Figo, however, chose to relax and spend his days accompanying Lingling to the elite barracks to play and recharge.

Watching the new recruits continue running, panting heavily, Figo asked Mia, "Is everything arranged on Xiao Kong's side? I haven't been paying attention these past two days."

Mia: "Well, in the past, the kings of the member countries who are fast should be almost at the Holy Land, but most of them will still be stuck in the last few days. After all, there have been bad incidents of Celestial Dragons attacking kings before."

……

Every world conference is a major event for the member states of the world government.

The fact that only fifty of the kings of more than one hundred member states were allowed to participate in the formal meetings, despite the arrival of over one hundred, is a clear indication of national strength.

At the meeting, the World Government will also determine the amount of celestial gold these member states will need to pay over the next four years, the increase or decrease in the number of their armies, and various new policies concerning the future direction of the world.

For the kings who came to attend this world conference, their mood was particularly heavy.

In just over three months, anyone who wasn't incompetent or muddle-headed would have sent someone to investigate the truth behind the killing of 34 Celestial Dragons that week.

Since Figo never bothered to conceal his appearance, it was already an open secret that the one who hunted the Celestial Dragons was Gaston Figo, the warden of Impel Down and the world's king known at sea!

But in more than three months, the kings neither received an arrest warrant from the World Government nor any retaliation from it, which is unreasonable!

there is only one truth.

The rule of the world government has been shaken.

The Celestial Dragons were powerless against the King of the World.

The world king who is rumored to be at sea may be crowned the true world king!

What will become of the member states then?

Most of the kings were filled with anxiety before setting off, and even the kings of the non-member allied nations were closely watching this world conference.

Fish-Man Island, Ryugu Castle. The current Fish-Man King carefully instructed his 16-year-old eldest son, Neptune: "This time, you will personally lead a group out to gather intelligence. Although the King of the World has killed so many Celestial Dragons that they dare not venture out, it is all of humanity that is unfriendly to our Fish-Man race!"

Elbaf, the land of giants, has a giant king who is over 20 meters tall emerging from it; even in the land of Zou, the Mink Tribe descended from Zunesha to investigate whether the Moon Hunter, who is suspected to be a Mink Tribe member, is Figo.

At sea, Alabasta's large ships have arrived near the Holy Land of Mary Geoise, where the 65-year-old Queen of Alabasta gazes out at the sea in deep thought.

The claim that the Celestial Dragons are descendants of the twenty kings who 'saved the world' is inaccurate.

After 'saving the world,' one of the kings withdrew from the group of 20 people who formed the World Government. He was the ancestor of Alabasta!

"Why did our ancestors withdraw? What secrets were hidden back then...? The answer may soon be revealed," she murmured to herself.

Suddenly, a guard reported: "Your Majesty, a warship has appeared ahead!"

"A warship?" Queen Alabasta looked over and indeed saw a warship rapidly approaching them.

A young officer stood at the bow of the warship. As the two sides drew closer, the young officer shouted, "Is this Queen Anne of Alabasta? I am Captain Sengoku of the Naval Headquarters. Lord Gaston Figo requests that Her Majesty's ship turn towards the Naval Headquarters. This World Conference will be held at the Naval Headquarters!"

Queen Anne looked slightly surprised, and the minister beside her exclaimed in astonishment, "Relocated to Admiralty Headquarters? We have never received any such news!"

"Haven't we received it yet?" Queen Anne interrupted, "Let's change course and follow this young colonel to the Navy Headquarters. I've been wanting to meet the King of the World for a long time."

"Your Majesty, what...what are they doing..."

"It's none of our business. Rather than being forcibly invited, it's better to cooperate," Queen Anne said with a smile. "Isn't that right, Colonel Sengoku?"

"My apologies, Your Majesty." Sengoku bowed to the opposite side. "Before you, the kings of three other countries, including Jespiru, were also invited to the Marine Headquarters. Please rest assured that you will be more comfortable at the Marine Headquarters than in the Holy Land. The Holy Land of Mary Geoise has been somewhat unsafe lately."

"Isn't it unsafe...?"

Thus, one by one, the royals who came to attend the World Conference were intercepted by naval warships and taken to the Navy Headquarters before they even reached the Holy Land.

Changing the location of the World Conference is the first blow the Marine Headquarters has dealt to the Holy Land!

Chapter Ninety-Six: No Opposition

Mary Geoise.

Due to the blockade during this period, the Five Elders' intelligence capabilities declined. It wasn't until three days later, when the first King was intercepted, and more than 20 Kings were invited to the Marine Headquarters, that they finally received the news and held another meeting.

I've gotten used to it.

More than three months have passed, and Figo has only caused one mishap. They are practically 'thankful'.

So this time there was no table-banging or hysteria. The Five Elders calmly discussed the matter, and Neil Borro dialed the new Den Den Mushi on the table.

The contact is with Steel Skeleton.

Soon, Kong's voice came through the Den Den Mushi: "Uncle Figo said he will go to the Holy Land Mary Geoise as scheduled, so you can rest assured."

The Den Den Mushi (a type of electric scooter) beeped and hung up.

The five elders looked at each other.

Raiola said calmly, "This is actually a good thing. Gaston Figo was probably worried that when he came to the Holy Land, the kings of the member states would be there, and he would be constrained. But he didn't expect that this would make us more carefree."

"Hehe, he's overthinking it. Executing him won't cause much of a stir."

The five remained silent for a while.

"Should we have the younger generation in the Holy Land evacuate first?" someone suddenly asked.

"Evacuate? Don't you have any faith in Lord Im? There's absolutely no need for this!"

After a few more moments of silence,

"Let's be cautious."

“We have been careless too many times in dealing with Gaston Figo, allowing him to grow to the point of being out of control. Lord Im says he is a new light, and the secrets he holds are probably not to be underestimated. This time, we can only succeed, not fail, otherwise things will develop beyond repair!” said Saint Neilboro.

Suddenly, a crisp sound rang out, and the four turned their gazes to Raiola. Raiola threw the corner of the table he was holding onto the ground and said, "This new table is of poor quality; let's get a new one."

The other four looked down at the fingerprints embedded in the table where their hands had just been placed, and nodded in agreement: "The quality... is indeed terrible."

……

Meanwhile, Figo learned from the marine who came to report that the Five Elders had made a phone call to the Den Den Mushi, and nodded to indicate that he understood.

He was grilling meat at that moment, personally serving the 20 kings who had arrived with his signature skills.

Cooking skills are something you develop by grilling meat and cooking rice; they're something that often comes out unpredictably.

Figo's current culinary skill is at the top level with a score of 40000+. If the maximum score is 50000, then Figo can be considered almost a culinary king.

However, aside from grilling meat, his other cooking skills are only at a beginner level. After all, who the hell would eat vegetables when they have a body that can eat meat without gaining weight or getting tired of it? Meat is also best when grilled.

Twenty kings sat in a circle, each dressed in magnificent and distinctive clothing, and none of them were young.

Even the older folks who don't eat much meat praised Figo's skills after taking a small bite of the grilled meat, nodding and exchanging compliments. Only two or three people looked bitter and resentful, as if they were eating poison.

As the king of a nation, being intercepted and taken to the Navy Headquarters midway through a world conference is bound to cause some unhappiness.
