Thus, following the decision of the Five Elders, a series of decrees began to be announced to the Navy Headquarters and the seas:
Fleet Admiral Sengoku stepped down a month later, and a new Fleet Admiral was to be selected.
Given certain factors that have occurred during this war, the World Government and the Navy will take swift action against certain pirate crews that have had an extremely negative impact, bringing the criminals to justice.
Of course, these two points are not the most important.
The big head is definitely trying to deceive the public. The World Government specifically issued a report summarizing its views and analysis on this war as "seemingly a defeat, but actually a victory."
After all, even though we lost in the end, we can't lose both substance and face.
At least on the surface, we cannot allow the public and members of the World Government's member states to lose faith in the Navy and the World Government.
As for the schemes shown in the images, they were all defined by the World Government as despicable framing tactics used by pirates.
In short, the official stance is that defeat cannot be officially acknowledged.
After all, on this vast ocean, smart people are a minority; the majority are fools who follow the crowd.
As long as we can fool the majority, then none of these are problems.
The World Government has existed for eight hundred years, even though it lost face when Fisher Tiger invaded Mary Geoise a little over a decade ago, burned it down, and freed the slaves.
Isn't it still standing there perfectly fine?
Therefore, the world government has never been too worried about the issue of public opinion (cfbg).
Having ruled the world for over eight hundred years, they knew very well what kind of people these people on the sea were.
I also understand how to deal with their doubts and distrust.
They've done this more than once, and they're quite skilled at it.
The reason why Sengoku was allowed to step down a month later was partly because the handover of internal naval affairs required some time.
On the other hand, it was clear that pirates in the four seas and along the Grand Line were beginning to stir.
Although the "ONE PIECE" that Whitebeard shouted before his death in the original story did not actually exist, it almost sparked a second Great Pirate Era.
The absence of Whitebeard's death made many pirates feel that the mountain that had been weighing on their heads had disappeared, leaving them without any obstacles and giving them undue ambition.
However, the Navy's defeat made some criminal pirates realize the current weakness of the Navy's forces.
The group of troublemakers who had always wanted to go to sea seized this opportunity and set sail one after another.
Although it wasn't as large-scale as before, almost all the criminals had become pirates.
But when this torrent poured down and merged into the Grand Line.
The surge in the number of people going to sea is indeed a force to be reckoned with!
The Warring States period also needed to remain in the central command and forcefully suppress this very bad trend.
They couldn't do anything to the Whitebeard Pirates; they were just a bunch of scum who set sail on a whim, and it couldn't be easier for them to deal with them.
Moreover, this is also a good opportunity to show the world once again that the navy is not the incompetent and useless force they imagine!
Therefore, not only colonels, but also major generals, lieutenant generals, and even generals were mobilized.
This is also an excellent opportunity to rebuild their naval prestige.
However, this means that the navy will focus its efforts on the four seas and the first half of the Grand Line.
As for the Sabaody Archipelago in the middle and the New World in the latter half, they were selectively and temporarily ignored.
This includes the Whitebeard Pirates and the Straw Hat Pirates who rescued Ace and left Marine Headquarters.
After they left Marine Headquarters~
Atop fifty warships, a unique banquet unfolded!
Laughter filled the air, and smiles graced everyone's faces as they reveled in a sea of joy.
Luffy, Ace, and Sabo, the three brothers who hadn't seen each other for a long time, were having a meat-eating contest, which drew cheers from the surrounding pirate captains.
Soon, stacks of plates were piled up around the three of them.
As for whether there's enough meat on the warship~
The sea monsters in the nearby ocean are the most abundant source of food.
Zoro was surrounded by Vista, Makugai, and other skilled swordsmen, who drank together and discussed sword techniques.
The more they talked, the more compatible they became.
Sanji, on the other hand, had stars in his eyes and was circling around Whitey Bay, the "Ice Witch."
That posture and appearance were all too obvious.
Whitey Bay, on the other hand, politely declined Sanji's overly attentive manner.
After all, she's already in her forties or fifties. Although her appearance hasn't changed much, kids like Sanji, in her eyes, should just stay somewhere cool.
Sanji and his fellow sniper, Curiel, were arm in arm, boasting to the Whitebeard Pirates around them.
Chopper and Law were exchanging medical insights with Marco, the ship's doctor on the Whitebeard Pirates.
Both sides benefited in some way.
Meanwhile, Law found Luffy, drank the "little brother" sake, and the relationship between the two was thus established.
In a corner of the warship.
"Om~"
A shimmering white light suddenly appeared on the Blood Blade Thunderstorm.
Shiryu gazed at the power before him, a hint of intoxication flashing in his eyes.
"This really is the most amazing power ever!!!"
"Actually, I think Luffy's abilities are even better than the Tremor-Tremor Fruit~"
Link joked, "Why don't you try using Luffy's abilities?"
Shiryu: "...That won't be necessary."
He also learned the true name of Luffy's Devil Fruit and its related abilities.
Before awakening, it possessed the elasticity of the rubber fruit.
Although awakening grants extremely powerful abilities.
But~~~
No one had awakened this power for eight hundred years until Luffy revealed it.
Shiryu doesn't think he's particularly amazing or lucky to have awakened this ability like Luffy.
For him, the Tremor-Tremor Fruit was the best option.
He gazed at the shimmering white halo that represented power, and once again became captivated by it.
During the banquet, Link took him to see Whitebeard.
After explaining his purpose, Whitebeard generously said that there was no problem.
With the magnanimity of this world's strongest man, let alone just copying his own abilities, he wouldn't care even if they took away his Tremor-Tremor Fruit powers!
Thus, under Whitebeard's intrigued gaze, Shiryu quite naturally obtained what was touted as the world's strongest Paramecia-type Devil Fruit power.
"Gurarararar, what a peculiar gadget! It can even copy other people's Devil Fruit abilities?"
Not only Whitebeard, but also the other division commanders and members of the Whitebeard Pirates were all astonished, never expecting Link to be able to do this.
However, this had nothing to do with them. After their initial surprise, they continued eating and singing, having a good time.
Shiryu, meanwhile, was testing the Tremor-Tremor Fruit's abilities with Link and Shiryu.
"I believe that before long, as you develop and understand this ability, your strength will definitely reach a new level."
Link smiled as he looked at Shiryu's entranced expression.
"I believe it too!!"
The shimmering white light faded, and Shiryu sheathed Thunderstorm again, a confident smile playing on his lips as he smoked a cigar.
Possessing the world's most powerful strength, anyone would feel a surge of heroic ambition and confident pride.
Leaving aside Shiryu's current smugness, Link looked to the side at the tall, blue, chubby man walking towards him.
The blue fat guy in One Piece is none other than Jinbe, one of the former Seven Warlords of the Sea.
"This war has truly broadened my horizons."
He brought a glass of wine to Link.
"The Straw Hat Pirates truly live up to their reputation. I have witnessed everything they have done."
Jinbe couldn't stop praising and expressing his admiration.
He was prepared to die in this war, as a way of repaying Whitebeard for his years of protection and care for Fishman Island.
~~~~~~~~~
[Thanks again to '1370..' for the 588 points! Thank you to '从前有个太监' for the 2000 points! Thank you everyone!]
Chapter 403 Hancock, Robin, and Nami ~ The Correct Way to Use Celestial Dragons! Goodbye everyone! See you in the New World!
And the result?
But it was much better than Jinbe had imagined.
He was neither a member of the Whitebeard Pirates nor any other pirates; rather, he was a former Shichibukai, and he saw things most clearly.
Jinbe knew very well that the Straw Hat Pirates played a crucial role in this war.
"It wasn't that good; we just did what we were supposed to do."
Link also raised his glass and lightly clinked it against Jinbe's.
"But that's not all."
Jinbe shook his head, "I already said that before..."
He solemnly said there, "You helped me get out of that prison and allowed me to fulfill my wish. You are truly doing me a great favor!"
"As I've said before, once this war is over, if I survive and have repaid the debt to Whitebeard, I will come looking for you then."
"And now..."
Despite his ferocious teeth and face, Jinbe's smile is surprisingly gentle.
"I was fortunate enough to survive that battlefield, so naturally I will not forget my promise!"
"After I've finished dealing with matters related to Fishman Island and the Sun Pirates~"
He paused, his expression gradually becoming solemn and serious, and said, "When that time comes, I hope the Straw Hat Pirates will not despise this old man's broken body!!"
"Of course not~"
Link smiled and raised his glass once more, "We are truly honored!!"
Dang! !
The two wine glasses clinked together again at that moment.
Meanwhile, Link was chatting with Shiryu and Jinbe there.
Another location on the warship.
"That's the Pirate Empress?!"
From a distance, Nami sized up the aloof and unapproachable Boa Hancock.
At this moment, she also arrived on this warship.
"It doesn't seem like anything special..."
Nami grumbled indignantly, "So what if she's a little taller than me, has a better figure, and is... definitely prettier than me...? That's all there is to her~~~"
As she finished speaking, even Nami herself seemed to realize this, and her tone softened slightly.
Well, even she herself can realize that compared to Hancock, she doesn't really have much of an advantage.
and……
Nami scratched her orange hair in distress.
