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

After Doberman finished speaking, the Telephone Den Den Mushi next to him began to work.

Sheets of white paper with printed text were spat out of its mouth.

"Based on the information we have so far, they are very likely also heading to Delta Island to meet with one of the Four Emperors, Douglas Barrett, the Devil's Heir."

While relaying the message, Doberman also made sure to reveal the group's movements.

After the telegram was transmitted, Tian Qing went straight forward and picked up the data and intelligence to examine it first.

As the head of the investigation bureau, he still had the authority to view this intelligence.

However, as soon as he saw the above content, his brows furrowed.

The telegram read:

Shiryu, captain of the Blood Rain Pirates, is a user of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit.

Sniper [Van Augur], user of the Teleportation Fruit; Helmsman [Champion] Jesus Burgess, user of the Strength-Strength Fruit!

Ship's doctor Doc Q (also known as Death God), user of the Disease-Disease Fruit, and his mount, the white horse Strong, possesses the Horse-Horse Fruit, Mythical Zoan type, Pegasus form...

[Thank you so much to the generous donor 'Once Upon a Time There Was a Eunuch' for the generous donation again! I'm truly grateful!! Um, I'm experiencing another heat wave here, causing long queues at the health checkup every day. One person queues, the whole family cuts in line—it's really disgusting! Everyone please be careful!!]

779 Akainu's compromise and balance: using external conflicts to divert attention from internal conflicts.

In addition, there is also the "Moon Hunter" Catarina Démi, who is a Devil Fruit user, a Mythical Zoan type of the Dog-Dog Fruit, in her Nine-Tailed Fox form.

And the [Big Barrel] Basque Jotte's Wine-Wine Fruit.

It can be said that, so far, almost everyone on the Blood Rain Pirates' ship has a Devil Fruit ability.

If this were a naval battle of the scale of the "Eat Wall," and the entire ship capsized, there wouldn't even be anyone left to salvage and rescue it.

"A ship full of Devil Fruit users...?"

As Sakazuki looked at the intelligence and information, he couldn't help but increase the speed and depth of his inhalation of the cigar smoke.

These people's Devil Fruit abilities are almost all incredibly powerful.

There's no need to elaborate on Shiryu's Tremor-Tremor Fruit.

Jesus Burgess's Power-Power Fruit can be said to be the limit of power, which can greatly enhance his own strength.

It can easily lift a small mountain and smash it into the ground!

Van Augur's [Supersonic] [Instant-Teleport Fruit], also known as the [Teleport Fruit], grants him the ability to teleport instantly, giving him immense mobility!

Poison Q's [Sickness Fruit] can spread diseases, causing people to develop all sorts of strange symptoms, such as...

The ability to turn men into women is similar to Ivankov's [Hormone Fruit] ability.

And his mount Zhuangzhuang goes without saying.

It would be a waste to feed such a sickly horse the legendary white horse, the celestial horse, that soars through the sky.

As for Katarina Demi's Mythical Zoan type Nine-Tailed Fox Fruit, it allows her to transform into any character.

It is also a very powerful Devil Fruit.

Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruits, in addition to granting their users powerful physical attributes, also endow them with abilities comparable to Paramecia-type Devil Fruits.

It is even rarer than the Natural type, making it a very troublesome existence.

"..."

After receiving this information, Sakazuki remained silent for a moment before asking:

"They're heading towards Delta Island now, aren't they?"

"That's right!!"

Doberman nodded seriously:

"They encountered a group of men under Wang Zhi on the road and clashed with them, which is how we were able to find out their movements."

Sakazuki immediately followed up with the question:

"Have they been influenced by this wave of thought and undergone any changes?"

"Uh……"

Doberman paused for a moment, then continued, "According to our findings, their methods remain as ruthless and vicious as ever."

"You can't tell at all that he carries any of those beliefs."

Well, that was somewhat expected.

Sakazuki nodded slightly.

Even so many of them in the navy still uphold their original intentions, let alone those ruthless people who have cruelty, bloodlust, and slaughter engraved in their bones.

They are nothing but criminals and demons, completely devoid of any sense of justice.

"Continue monitoring, and report to me immediately if anything happens!" Sakazuki instructed in a deep voice.

"clear!!!"

Den Den Mushi Doberman nodded vigorously, then hesitated slightly:

"That's Lieutenant General Garp, and Lieutenant General Fire Mountain, and their side..."

"I'll take care of things on their end!"

Sakazuki immediately interrupted, "You don't need to worry about the rest!!"

"Yes!!"

Obeying orders is a soldier's duty, and Doberman, knowing the seriousness of the matter, nodded and immediately hung up the phone.

Sakazuki was left there rubbing his temples.

"The navy is currently facing both internal and external troubles..."

He muttered to himself, seemingly speaking to Tian Qing beside him, or perhaps speaking to himself.

"It can no longer withstand any more turmoil."

"Inside, so many naval soldiers have started a wave of retirements, and even Vice Admiral Tsuru and Momousagi have some other ideas."

"Outside, Garp, Sengoku, and Kasuganoyama are leading troops, while that bastard Aokiji and Zephyr have set a very bad precedent!!"

"If at this moment, I were to show even the slightest distrust or suspicion towards Garp and Fire Mountain..."

"Then all the consequences will be irreversible."

Sakassky took a deep drag on his cigar, smoking it completely dry.

At the same time, wisps of thick smoke billowed from his mouth, swirling around his body and his weary eyes.

If it were him in the past, he would definitely have taken a major and radical approach to thoroughly investigate this trend and wave.

But since becoming a marshal and managing so many affairs, he has gradually learned to balance and compromise.

In the end, people still become the very thing they hate most.

"Let's see what the situation is like on Delta Island, and see how Sengoku, Garp, and Kashoyama perform."

Sakazuki said in a low voice, "Now, we need to use external contradictions to divert attention from internal contradictions."

"If the operation on Delta Island is a great success, the Navy might still have a chance to catch its breath."

"But what if some other unexpected event occurs..."

Sakazuki fell silent; everything was understood without words.

[Dark Horse] Tianqing also remained silent.

However, he did give Sakazuki a slight bow before turning and walking outside.

While he and Doberman could handle Delta Island, he also needed to personally deal with the World Government.

Especially that group of God's Knights~~~

Meanwhile, at Navy Headquarters, while operations were being carried out on multiple fronts...

Meanwhile, on Delta Island, where the winds of change were blowing and clouds were swirling, it seemed to be located at the very center of a global vortex.

780 The Unexpected Turn of Events on Delta Island!! Barrett's Unparalleled Victory Over Wang Zhi!!

"What kind of damned red ideology and revolutionary tide are these?!"

Inside a luxurious room on Delta Island.

"Fairness? Justice? What a joke! Hiccup!!"

Bucky's body lay on the bed, his split hands holding a bottle of fine rum, continuously feeding it into his gaping maw that was splitting off and floating in the sky.

His face was completely drunk, and he was swaying and flying around.

"These things are simply impossible."

He was rambling on and on, spouting drunken nonsense: “The strong own everything; that’s an unchanging rule and a fact.”

"Moreover, let's not even talk about what these guys who are chanting these slogans and beliefs are actually up to."

"Even if they truly believe they want to seek fairness for the world and justice for all people, what about the future?!"

"They hold this belief, but in the future, they will only repeat the mistakes of the current world government."

"After all, the further back in time goes, the higher the position one holds, the more one will pay attention to one's own rights, thus forming a new class."

"So, it's just another new world government, another new Celestial Dragon~~~"

The great god Bucky is there, uttering words that could be censored.

Although he too had been instilled with such thoughts and ideas, having long seen the world for what it truly was, he wouldn't harbor such naive ideas.

"oh?!"

Crocodile, who was wiping the golden hooks on his hands, couldn't help but look up and glance at Bucky a few more times.

"I never expected to hear such words from you~~~"

The cigar dangling from his mouth, its smoke swirling around him:

"The strong are justice, that is the truth, an irrefutable truth since ancient times! 々～!"

Crocodile, who also had the concept of the survival of the fittest ingrained in his very being, scoffed at the beliefs and ideas that were widely circulated on the high seas.

"That's right, all those rules and regulations, those ridiculous ideas, are nowhere near as attractive as money and treasure!"

Ba Jin was also there, speaking in his old-fashioned voice, with an indifferent, even disdainful, attitude:

"That only fools little kids and idiots; only those kinds of people would believe it!!"

"Yes, Mom!!"

Edward Weeble, standing next to him, also had two long snot dripping from his nose, and he nodded vigorously.

"Oh? My silly son? You don't believe me either?"

"No, at first I really believed it, and I even thought about going out and doing it."

"Um?!"

"But then, when I thought about listening to you, Mom, and how you said those things were all lies, I decided I would stay by your side all the time!"

"Hahaha, so good boy, you really are my silly son, hahaha!!"

Ba Jin, the woman whom the so-called white-bearded man loved most, was there laughing triumphantly.

Beside her, Mad Torega, the Treasure Hunter, was also grinning and smirking along.

"That's right, none of these things can compare to the allure of treasures!"

The chains binding him were also starting to stir restlessly.

"I can't wait to follow the boss, use that [Permanent Pointer] to go to Laugh Tale, and find the world's greatest treasure!!!"

Behind his sunglasses, his eyes were filled with fervor.

Ba Jin, standing nearby, echoed wildly, "That's right, the treasure on Laugh Tale is ours!!"
