One Piece: From the Rocks Era to King of the World

Chapter 411: The Great Prison of the Wuji Pirates
Holy Land Marijoa:

"Sengoku, why do you continue to launch attacks when you know that the Infinity Pirates possess such powerful destructive weapons? Can't you retreat temporarily and then launch a full-scale attack after you have a solution?"

"Why do you insist on sending the troops behind to provide support when you know that the fishmen have an absolute advantage in the ocean?"

"Why are there no obvious traces of so many bombs falling from the sky?"

"Why don't you arrange top-level combat forces to guard the rear? If so, can the bombs dropped from the sky cause such great damage?"

"Why did you allow two top fighters to die during the retreat?"

"Why is Li Yuan so strong? Even Garp and three top fighters couldn't hold him back, and he even killed two of them."

The five Five Elders held a meeting with Zhan Guo. It was called a meeting, but in fact, Zhan Guo had to endure the scolding from the five Five Elders alone.

What the five Five Elders could not accept the most was that among the five top fighters who died, all of them were top fighters sent by the World Government, and none of the top fighters of the Navy were lost.

This made them wonder whether Sengoku specifically sent the World Government's top combat forces to deal with those difficult characters during the war, and let the navy admirals deal with those weak characters.

As a result, in the end, the ones who lost were the world government’s top combat forces, and not a single naval admiral was lost!

"Damn you old fellows, why are you personally commanding on the battlefield? How can you sit here and curse at others with a clear conscience? If I knew the actions of the Infinity Pirates in advance, would I have let the navy sacrifice in vain?"

"It was because you ordered the attack that I led everyone to engage in a full-scale close combat with the pirates. Otherwise, I would have retreated long ago. How could I have suffered such a heavy loss?"

"You old guys are just afraid of death and dare not face Li Yuan. You old guys should go to the battlefield to attract Li Yuan's attention, and then let the rest of us go and wipe out other big pirates!"

After listening to the curses of the Five Elder Stars for more than ten minutes, Zhan Guo clenched his fists and cursed these five old guys loudly in his heart.

I was afraid of death and dared not go to the battlefield. If I lost, all the blame would be put on him. Even Zhan Guo, who had the heart of a Buddha, could hardly suppress his anger at this moment.

If these five old guys didn't control the economic lifeline of the navy, he would let them know on the spot what the wrathful Vajra of Buddha meant!
"Zhan Guo, do you have anything else to say?"

Perhaps they were tired of scolding, so the Five Elders saw that Zhan Guo remained silent, so they asked a question.

"Your Excellency the Five Elders, this time the World Government and the Navy suffered heavy losses. We should learn from our experience and strive to defeat the pirates in the next war."

"Also, the navy suffered huge losses this time. We hope that this year's military budget can be paid in advance. The navy's warships and naval soldiers have lost more than 70% of their strength. We hope to get more money to build the navy and replenish its manpower. In addition, the death allowance for the sacrificed naval soldiers is also a huge expense."

Upon hearing this, Zhan Guo first said some official words, and then came the key point. The navy is now short of money, very short of money, and the place where the navy can get money is the military funds in the hands of the Five Elders.

"Sengoku, the World Government has suffered heavy losses this time. In addition, the South China Sea has been occupied by pirates, and there is much less gold in the sky. It is impossible to pay the navy's military expenditure in advance, but we will pay it on time. As for increasing military expenditure, we have to wait and see the financial situation of the World Government this year before we can decide."

When he heard that Sengoku wanted money, the God of Finance Nasujuro Sei immediately spoke up. He could tell with his eyes closed that the world government's finances would shrink significantly this year. It would be good enough if the navy's military expenditure was not deducted. How could the military expenditure be increased? This was simply a fantasy!

"Your Excellency Nasu Shoulang, this is a loss for the navy."

Hearing this, Zhan Guo immediately became anxious. The navy suffered such heavy losses, but they didn't increase military spending. How could the navy recover? With that little military spending alone, the navy might not be able to recover in three to five years.

"Sengoku, the navy suffered heavy losses, but didn't the World Government suffer heavy losses as well?"

"This failure caused huge losses to the World Government, causing a sharp decline in the World Government's finances. So the Navy and the World Government have common difficulties."

Before Sengoku could finish his words, he was interrupted by Nasujuro Seiji. In any case, the military spending on the navy could not be increased because the navy did not lose any of its top fighters this time, while the World Government lost five of its top fighters.

If the navy continues to grow stronger and their world government becomes weaker and weaker, the navy might rebel.

This is also one of the reasons why Nasu Juro Sei is unwilling to increase military spending for the navy.

"Zhan Guo, you are most responsible for the failure of this war!"

"And during this war, the Self-Guardian Army also provoked wars among many kingdoms on the Red Earth Continent and tried to attack Mary Geoise, but we eventually defeated and suppressed them."

"But the Self-Defense Forces still have many forces in the Four Seas and the Grand Line. Your navy's next mission is to strike a comprehensive blow against the Self-Defense Forces and kill them all in the Four Seas except the South China Sea!"

"As for the pirate issue, just put it aside for now. Strangling the Self-Defense Forces is your navy's most urgent task right now!" said the Scientific Defense God of War Satan.

"Yes, Saint Satan!"

Hearing the Five Elders say this,
Zhan Guo knew that his plan to get money had failed.

The Promise Pirates:
A few days later, he did not continue to take care of the affairs of the South China Sea, but handed them over to his subordinates to manage, and he brought Bakara back to the Wuji Sea.

Li Yuan brought Bakara to the big prison of the Infinite Pirates, where were imprisoned members of the pirate groups that were wiped out by the Infinite Pirates, or spies of the World Government.

With the arrival of Li Yuan, he immediately used his domineering aura to knock all these people unconscious.

Li Yuan then called on his men to move thousands of prisoners together.

"Bakara, you come and try to absorb all the luck of these people."

Li Yuan spoke softly to Bakara who was hiding behind him and looking a little scared.

"Okay big brother."

After hearing Li Yuan's words, Bacaraton was not so scared anymore. He walked timidly to the prisoners lying on the ground, took off his gloves, and then touched their bodies one by one, sucking all their luck away.

"Big Brother, I feel like I have already absorbed as much luck as I can. I can't absorb any more."

However, when he had just sucked up 800, Bakara said somewhat frustratedly.

It was the first time she realized that her ability had a limit. She had never absorbed so much luck at once before.

"It doesn't matter. As long as you've absorbed enough, let's go."

"When Bakara grows up and develops her abilities more powerfully, she will naturally be able to absorb the luck of more people. By then, no matter how much luck Bakara wants to absorb, I will find you someone to help you!"

Li Yuan touched Bakara's little head and said.

It is normal to have an upper limit. No devil fruit is invincible. What's more, Bakara can only use a small part of the ability of the Lucky Fruit now.

"Really, big brother?"

Bakara asked curiously, blinking her big eyes.

"Of course, big brother would never lie to Bakara!"

"Come on, I'll take you to meet some very smart scientists. If Bakara wants something, you can ask them to help you invent it."

Li Yuan took Bakara's hand and walked out of the prison. As for those whose luck had been absorbed, they could just lock them up.

As long as they don't die, their luck will naturally recover slowly in the future.

Then, it will be their time to contribute their luck again.

It was because of Bakara's arrival that Li Yuan decided to comprehensively upgrade the Wuji Pirates' prison.

There are only over 3,000 prisoners in this prison now, not even 10,000.

So Li Yuan decided to give those who would covet the Wuji Pirates or oppose them in the future a chance to survive.

Just like the navy, capture all the prisoners who can be captured alive, lock them up in prison, and let them pay for the mistakes they made with their luck.

Otherwise, it would be embarrassing if there weren't enough prisoners to provide luck points next time the upper limit of Bakara's Lucky Fruit's ability was raised.
