One Piece meme: Starting with eight extraordinary skills

Yang Ming took the brocade box, looked at Aisbag with a half-smile, and asked in return:

"You wouldn't have given such a precious gift for just these two reasons, would you?"

Espagu looked at the boy in front of him with great surprise, not expecting him to be so intelligent.

He didn't seem to mind that his thoughts had been exposed, but instead leaned close to Yang Ming's ear and whispered:

"If possible, please be ruthless towards that CP9 officer. That guy is occupying our company's dock and hasn't been paying us."

Upon hearing this, Yang Ming smiled.

In reality, Eisbag was probably afraid that the CP9 commander would take his anger out on Tom Shipbuilding after this incident.

There are some things that are better left unsaid.

After bidding farewell to Espagu, Yang Ming and his six companions found the three-masted sailing ship in the ship deed at the dock.

After the six people boarded the ship, Yang Ming placed the Devil Fruit on the table, looked at his five companions, and said:

"I don't plan to take a Devil Fruit. Whoever needs it can take it."

Smoker, having already consumed the Smoke-Smoke Fruit, refused outright.

The other four looked at each other, hesitated for a moment, and then Tina slowly said:

"Yang Ming, could you please give me this Devil Fruit?"

Yang Ming directly stuffed the Devil Fruit into Tina's hand, a generous gesture that deeply moved her.

Unlike most women, Tina didn't say anything extra; she simply gave Yang Ming a grateful look.

The Navy had always known that one could gain a Devil Fruit power with just one bite, and since the taste was so unpleasant, Tina naturally didn't want to eat much, so she took a small bite.

Tina closed her eyes, calming her nauseous stomach acid, while also experiencing the power granted by the Devil Fruit.

The next instant, Tina opened her beautiful eyes, and with a sudden flick of her hand, jet-black iron pillars shot out one after another, forming a prison.

"The power of the Cage-Cage Fruit?"

"It's surprisingly suitable for me."

Amidst the envious gazes of the other five, Tina suddenly pulled Yang Ming into her arms.

Immediately afterwards, Yang Ming felt a fleeting moist sensation on his lips, and at the same time, Tina's magnetic voice rang in his ears:

"Thank you, my little man."

No wind, no waves; no root, no grass.

As the three-masted sailing ship carrying six righteous sailors sailed toward Enies Lobby, newsbirds flew around the world, delivering the latest news.

Judicial Island.

This is an island located in the first half of the Grand Line.

The island houses a court directly under the World Government. Although it is called a court, it actually acts solely according to the will of the World Government. Anyone who is brought to Enies Lobby is automatically considered a criminal, and in its 800-year history, no innocent person has ever been acquitted.

Prisoners are escorted through empty courthouses until they reach a cold, massive steel gate—the Gate of Justice. Those who pass through this gate never return, symbolizing the absolute justice of the World Government.

No prisoner ever sent to Enies Lobby ever returns alive.

Because after setting sail from the Gate of Justice, there are only two places you can reach: one is the Marine Headquarters, the direct subordinate organization of the World Government's main fighting force, and the other is the deep-sea prison, Impel Down, which is full of torture chambers and execution tables and imprisons the world's most heinous criminals.

Inside the Tower of Justice, in the CP9 commander's office, a soft, seductive melody drifted out.

Enies Lobby shows no mercy to any prisoner, but our CP9 commander is keen to bestow mercy upon beautiful women.

A CP9 agent in a suit and tie stood awkwardly outside the office door, holding a newspaper.

"If I go in like this, I'll definitely be killed by the officer, right?"

With their lives at stake, the agents knocked on the door.

"Thump thump thump! Thump thump thump! Thump thump thump!"

The sounds in the office abruptly ceased, followed by the rustling of clothes being put on.

Spandam burst through the door, his face dark with anger. He glared at the agent who seemed to realize he had done something wrong and said coldly:

"You'd better give me a reason, or you don't need to come to work tomorrow."

The agent glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw that the room was filled with the scent of spring.

After a moment of difficulty swallowing, the agent handed over the newspaper.

"Sir, something terrible has happened!"

"What's the big deal? Why are you so panicked?"

Spandam pursed his lips, took the newspaper, quickly glanced through it, and then, startled, sat down on the ground with a thud.

The newspaper slipped from his hand and landed on the ground, its face showing the six men, with the headline written in bold black font.

"Justice is served, the Navy heads for Enies Lobby!"

The article detailed the long history of misdeeds on Enies Lobby and the series of derelictions of duty committed by Spandam, the incumbent CP9 commander.

Spandam's face contorted, and after crumpling the newspaper into a ball, he exclaimed:

"Quickly, call Rob Lucci over here!"

"I order him to kill these six sailors!"

Chapter 27: 400 Years Later, Ideas Can Still Change the World

The distance from Water Seven to Enies Lobby isn't too far.

As night fell, the three-masted sailing ship had already sailed into the vicinity of Enies Lobby.

What's amazing is that while the outside world is a scene of dazzling starlight, the area around Enies Lobby is a scene of daylight.

Because of its characteristic of having no night and being perpetually daylight, Enies Lobby is also known as the "Island That Never Sleeps".

Yang Ming and his six companions stood on the deck, gazing at the distant outline of the island.

The outer layer of Judiciary Island is surrounded by an iron fence, each iron pillar as thick as two people can hug, deeply embedded in the soft sand of the seabed, with one end protruding at least twenty meters above the sea level, blocking outside ships and allowing entry only through the main gate.

Enies Lobby can be roughly divided into four parts: the front island, the main island, the Tower of Justice, and the Bridge of Hesitation, as well as the Gate of Justice located at the back of the island.

Just then, the Den Den Mushi on the desk rang.

This is the Den Den Mushi that Chief Instructor Zephyr gave them before they left.

Everyone's hearts skipped a beat, thinking that Chief Instructor Zefa had come to dissuade them, and they all turned their gazes to Yang Ming.

Yang Ming calmly took the Den Den Mushi. The moment the call connected, a loud shout came from the Den Den Mushi from Chief Instructor Zephyr:

"You brats, you think you've grown wings, huh? You didn't even inform me before heading to Enies Lobby?"

Immediately, an indescribable silence fell over them.

After a while, Chief Instructor Zefa's slightly tired voice came:

"You bunch of brats, don't forget how I taught you at the naval academy!"

"When you believe this is a just and necessary thing to do, then go ahead and do it!"

"If the World Government blames me, I'm willing to take full responsibility. At worst, I'll just resign from my position as chief instructor and go home to retire!"

"Remember that you are from the Navy, and you bear a heavy responsibility!"

"Justice will prevail!"

Yang Ming and the other six were shocked.

They didn't expect that Chief Instructor Zefa wasn't there to blame them, but rather to offer them support.

Yang Ming and his six companions stood firmly on their feet, saluted the Den Den Mushi, and solemnly said:

"Justice will prevail!"

After removing the Den Den Mushi, Chief Instructor Zephyr rubbed his temples and thought to himself:

"This kind of daring and reckless nature, completely disregarding the consequences, is exactly the same as that old rascal Garp."

"That old bastard Garp is still shamelessly refusing to admit that Yang Ming is his illegitimate son?"

"shameless!"

Garp, far away at Marine Headquarters, suddenly jolted awake and sneezed.

Garp looked around. Fleet Admiral Sengoku calmly sipped his tea. Admirals Akainu, Aokiji, and Kizaru were all present, along with a group of Marine Headquarters Vice Admirals who had been summoned back from various locations.

The Warring States Marshal took a sip of tea and said:

"Today, let's discuss the matter of officially including Jinbe, the Knight of the Sea, in the Seven Warlords of the Sea."

This boring meeting was less interesting than senbei (rice crackers), so Garp started eating senbei as if no one else was around.

The main entrance to Judicial Island is the first gate, where a large number of guards are stationed.

According to the organization of Judicial Island, there is a guard force of 10,000 people stationed here year-round, taking turns on duty in two shifts, morning and evening.

However, most of the previous CP9 commanders have been corrupt officials who lined their own pockets during their tenure, and the current CP9 commander, Spandam, is an even more prominent example of this, with his practice of receiving salaries without working being commonplace.

The guard, supposed to be a force of 10,000, would be lucky to have 3,000 on duty. Even if there were guards stationed there, these guards had been in peace for many years and had been neglecting their training. Their combat effectiveness was truly unknown.

By the time the three-masted sailboat approached the front island, Yang Ming and his six companions had already disembarked before the guards reacted.

A guard raised his gun and pointed it at Yang Ming, saying:

"Who are you?"

Yang Ming took out his naval identification from his pocket and said expressionlessly:

"Naval business is being handled; bystanders please leave!"

The guard was somewhat confused when he saw the Navy Headquarters seal on it.

"Why would the Navy suddenly come to visit? That's really strange."

His companion suddenly slapped his forehead and exclaimed in surprise:

"I remember now. We were told that if any navy personnel came, they must be killed on the spot and absolutely not allowed to enter!"

Upon hearing this, the surrounding guards immediately became alert.
