The Great Voyage: The Props Master on the Straw Hat Ship

It wasn't until Akainu joined forces with Kizaru that they were able to defeat Shiki!

Twenty years ago, Golden Lion Shiki fell at Marine Headquarters to the combined forces of Marine Admiral Sengoku and Hero Vice Admiral Garp.

Twenty years later, the Golden Lion is still here, and once again he has been defeated by Marine Admirals Kizaru and Akainu.

Both are from the Navy Headquarters, and both have two admirals as their combatants.

It can only be said that Shiki is truly incompatible with the Marine Headquarters and the Marine Admirals.

401 The Five Elders' Reaction!!! A New Fleet Admiral and Seven Warlords of the Sea!!

After Shiki was captured, his subordinate Dr. Indigo and the lecherous gorilla Scarlet were also captured and imprisoned by the Navy.

Thus, the once glorious Golden Lion Pirates came to a complete end.

Golden Lion himself became the Navy's only major capture, and also the only great pirate to be arrested during the Marineford War...

Yes, this is a world where only the Golden Lion gets hurt.

He may have to spend the rest of his life in Impel Down.

"It's just a golden lion~"

Sengoku shook his head again, "This still doesn't change the fact that the navy was defeated."

"You don't need to persuade me anymore, Marshal Kong."

In the end, Sengoku shut down all empty words, saying, "My mind is made up."

"..."

Seeing Sengoku's resolute expression, Sora could only respect his decision.

"Well then, since you've stepped down, we can't just let your influence go to waste."

Kong could only come up with this compromise idea:

"You will be responsible for recruiting new naval personnel and training the next generation of young naval officers."

“It just so happens that Zefa’s temperament has been a bit too extreme lately. You can help me keep an eye on him and prevent him from doing anything foolish.”

"no problem."

The Warring States period would naturally not refuse such a request.

"So, do you have a candidate in mind for the next Fleet Admiral?"

Empty fingers tapped lightly on the table.

"...I think Aokiji is capable of doing the job."

Sengoku remained silent for a moment, and then gave his response.

"His understanding of justice should be able to carry on the legacy of the navy."

This was the idea during the Warring States period.

Meanwhile, in another office at Pongel Castle...

"Let Akainu be the next Fleet Admiral!!"

In the room that symbolized the center of power, the Five Elders stood or sat with solemn expressions, creating a somewhat oppressive atmosphere.

"Warring States period was indeed a good candidate, but..."

G.E.B. Pachev looked at the intelligence reports from various World Government member states sent by the Navy and shook his head.

They also knew very well that Sengoku bore very little responsibility for the navy's defeat this time; he had done his best.

Unfortunately, the scale of the pirates in this war exceeded their original expectations.

"Golden Lion, Ryder, the Straw Hat Pirates, and Whitebeard who has returned to his peak... It is already quite remarkable that such a lineup has managed to keep high-level forces intact."

Everyone else understood that Sengoku had done everything he could in this matter.

Unfortunately, people often only look at the results and not at the effort you put in.

Therefore, in the face of a rising tide of condemnation from around the world,

They could only bring up the Warring States period as a scapegoat.

Therefore, the position of the next admiral of the navy is of paramount importance.

"Sakazuki? Indeed, for the current navy, an overly mild response is no longer suitable."

The blond-haired Elder Lin also pondered, "Aokiji's philosophy continues that of Sengoku and Garp, and their influence within the Navy is somewhat excessive."

"So let's take this opportunity to let Sakazuki rise to power~~~"

The Five Elders of Chiu Kin'e also stroked their goatees, saying, "They can both change the atmosphere of pirates and balance the influence within the Navy."

The others also nodded slightly.

For them, Akainu's rise to power is the most in line with their understanding and consideration of balance.

"This concerns the Fleet Admiral of the Navy, as well as the selection of the Seven Warlords of the Sea."

Ge Erba Qiaoba continued,

"In this war, Kuma has been modified and his consciousness erased. Of the remaining Seven Warlords of the Sea, besides [Hawkeye] Mihawk and [Sea Rogue] Doflamingo..."

"Blackbeard has already been expelled from the Seven Warlords by Whitebeard, Jinbe has also announced his retirement from the Seven Warlords, and Moria..."

"Moria's strength is really too weak. When he was defeated by the Straw Hat Pirates before, I didn't think much of it. After all, even Aokiji said how troublesome the Straw Hat Pirates were."

"But I never expected him to be that weak!!"

"His fight with Jinbe didn't even last two rounds!!!"

"Moreover, it has completely lost the mobility and support capabilities of the Shadow-Shadow Fruit, and is only used to cultivate a zombie army, such a useless use."

"His current strength is not only as formidable as when he fought Kaido, but he could probably even defeat some of the Navy's top vice admirals, right?"

"He is no longer suitable to sit in the position of one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea."

"Then let's change the people. Including Moria, we need to replace three Shichibukai."

"What about the Pirate Empress? Her last action clearly showed that she was helping the Whitebeard Pirates."

"Ha, a nation built by women, and still standing on a windless island. As long as they can help us maintain the balance of the sea and plunder pirates, we don't really need to bother with them."

Thus, the Five Elders discussed the matter and finalized the replacement of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

Then~~~

"Then what happens next..."

The bald Five Elders of Wano Country adjusted his glasses and said in a deep voice, "It's about the pirates and other things that happened during this war."

The atmosphere in the room instantly became heavy again as soon as this matter was mentioned.

"First, there's Impel Down. According to the information they provided, it was Buggy the Clown, a former apprentice of the Roger Pirates and a sworn brother of the Four Emperors [Red-Haired] Shanks, who acted as bait to attract Impel Down's attention, allowing the Straw Hat Pirates to infiltrate!"

The Five Elders of Daigaole coughed lightly and spoke of the information they had gathered.

"【The Clown】Buggy?! Indeed, he spent twenty years in the East Blue without making a fuss, and he did have contact with Straw Hat Luffy, so the two of them were connected back then, right?"

"Of course, it's also possible that the Joker learned about Fire Fist Ace's background and execution, and encountered the Straw Hat Pirates on his way to rescue him, and the two sides hit it off immediately."

"Regardless of the possibility, we can't do without these two!"

The Five Elders began to sort out everything about the war.

"Then, the Straw Hat Pirates, with the help of Trafalgar Law's Op-Op Fruit ability, infiltrated Impel Down."

"And he rescued Shiryu of the Rain, Red Earl Red Devil, and others to his crew, as well as Jinbe and a series of other pirates."

"Subsequently, with the help of Bucky the Joker and the teleportation ability of the Surgeon of Death, the group successfully piloted the warship, escaped Impel Down, and headed to Marine Headquarters."

"During this time, Blackbeard Marshall D. Teach also led his men to Impel Down, took advantage of the chaos to defeat Magellan, and released the prisoners of Level 6."

"The known members of the Marine Headquarters are: Spark Jot, Caterina Demi, Avalo Pizarro, and San Juan Wolf, who were released by Blackbeard and taken to Marine Headquarters."

"In the sixth level, the prisoners suffered heavy casualties, among whom [World Destroyer] Bundy Wald, [Devil's Heir] Douglas Barrett, former Shichibukai [Sand Crocodile] Crocodile and others escaped in the chaos."

"At Marineford, the Straw Hat Pirates officially entered the war with the forces released from Impel Down, and every member of the Straw Hat Pirates performed admirably."

"Roronoa Zoro, the swordsman and pirate hunter, defeated Vice Admiral Onigumo and fought against the world's greatest swordsman, Hawkeye Mihawk, to a draw."

"His identity has been reconfirmed, and he is suspected to be the real [Black Leg] Sanji. He defeated three vice admirals: Dalmesia, Gomir, and Maynard, and has considerable physical and kicking skills."

"The long-nosed 'Sticky Gun' Usopp possesses superb shooting skills and talent. He seems to have obtained firearms-type gadgets from 'Gadget Maker' Link, and played an indispensable role in the battles against the Marine sniper force, Vice Admiral Prody, and even in the mission to transfer Sengoku and rescue 'Fire Fist' Ace!!"

"[Bro] Brook, who is suspected of having the ability of the Yomi Yomi no Mi (Revive-Revive Fruit), is a person from decades ago who can be resurrected after death. He defeated Major General Kadal and Vice Admiral Kasa in succession, and his use of Haki is quite impressive."

"【Mengniu】Kungfu Manatee, which defeated Major General Sicily, Major General Qatari Kongpo and Lieutenant General Mozambique without losing any fighting power, has also reached an advanced level of dual-color Haki, and it is also in the form of a sea monster."

"【Sweetheart Guardian】Tony Tony Chopper possesses a rare Zoan-type talent, allowing him to transform into multiple Zoan-type forms. If possible, capturing and studying him could enhance the application of Zoan-type abilities. Vegapunk is very interested in this."

"There is also Franky, a cyborg whose design is suspected to have the same laser beam as Vegapunk's, and who is equipped with a full set of high-tech weapons."

"Nami the Cat Burglar and Nico Robin the Devil Child also had outstanding performances in this war."

"First mate, Link, the 'Tool Master,' possesses incredibly advanced tools with high-tech effects comparable to the Devil Fruit's power. He can even reverse a person's physical condition, allowing the aged Whitebeard to return to his peak condition."

When Link was mentioned, the other five elders all paused in surprise.

"Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that such a method may have certain time limitations or other stringent restrictions. For example, a marine named Ein under Zephyr's command has the ability of the Rewind Fruit, which can also achieve this, but it also has certain limitations."

"Observe for a while, let the CP agents check on Whitebeard's condition, and then, if appropriate, encourage other forces that hope to rejuvenate to take action."

"It's not too late to take action after we've figured out the situation!"

"That magical item that makes people young again, restoring their youth and vitality..."

The eyes of the Five Elders were all subtly flickering there.

It is clear that even they cannot resist the pursuit and desire to reverse aging.

"And lastly, and most importantly, Captain [Straw Hat Boy] Luffy..."

When the Five Elders slammed Luffy's new bounty poster and another photo onto the table, the atmosphere among them became noticeably tense.

~~~~~~~~~

[Thank you so much to '大同人丷' for the 2000-point reward, and for the support and understanding in the book review. I'm very touched and will definitely continue to write well!!] Thumbs up.

402 Has Nika's form awakened?! Such terrifying talent, inherited from his father and grandfather's terrifying genius! Kill!!

"Leaving aside the fact that he has already mastered all three types of Haki to the highest level, let's just talk about that one crucial point about him..."

The Five Elders' expressions all turned serious. "That legendary Devil Fruit power!!"

"The Mythical Zoan type of the Human-Human Fruit, Nika form awakening!!"

The photo clearly shows Luffy in his Nikka form punching Akainu away.

"I really didn't expect that this Devil Fruit, which hadn't awakened for eight hundred years, would actually be able to unleash its full potential on this battlefield!!"

"That good-for-nothing Who's-Who, who claims to be the most talented among Rob Lucci's CP, can't even complete a mission like escorting a Devil Fruit!!"

"You can't say that. After all, it was Shanks who made the move, so it's normal that he couldn't withstand it."

"For eight hundred years, this Devil Fruit has seemed to possess its own consciousness, constantly evading our search. So, in the end, did it choose Straw Hat Luffy?!"

"But in the past eight hundred years, it has been possessed and mastered by other chosen ones, but no one has ever developed it to an awakened state like Straw Hat Luffy! This is the first time since the establishment of the World Government!!"

"So he really is Garp's grandson and Dragon's son? Such terrifying talent, inherited from his father and grandfather..."

Luffy's awakening of the Human-Human Fruit, Nikka form, undoubtedly sparked heated discussions among the Five Elders.

However, this was merely an expression of their disbelief and shock at the situation.

As for the relevant handling plan, they had already reported the situation to that person in the [Flower Chamber] the moment they learned that Nika's form had awakened.

The command received consisted of only one word:

kill.

Thus, Luffy's newly created bounty poster came into being.

Not only him, but the other members of the Straw Hat Pirates also have their own new bounties.

There are also people like Luo and Shiliu, who also performed outstandingly or had a bad influence in this war, and new 813 wanted notices have been issued.
