One Piece meme: Starting with eight extraordinary skills

Unfortunately, they couldn't get the undead legion soldiers to talk. Otherwise, they might have been able to find out the truth behind the matter. Now they could only suspend their operations against Marshal Shura and order the navy to launch an attack on the undead legions that were causing chaos in the East and West Seas.

With a hundred thoughts flashing through his mind, Shepard X. Pitt Saint and several other Five Elders had already arrived outside Yang Ming's office.

To be honest, Shepard X. Pitt Saint was reluctant to see Yang Ming because it would bring back bad memories for him.

However, the Celestial Dragons who can serve as the Five Elders have skin thicker than a city wall, so this little embarrassment is nothing to them.

This time, the Five Elders entered Yang Ming's office because they needed his help. Unlike before, they were no longer arrogant and simply kicked the door open. Instead, they politely knocked on the door and waited for Yang Ming's permission before filing in one after another. They sat upright opposite Yang Ming, lined up in a row, exuding an imposing aura. People who didn't know the inside story might have thought they were there to show off.

Chapter 444 Do you want me to compromise?

This time, the Five Elders entered Yang Ming's office because they needed his help. Unlike before, they were no longer arrogant and simply kicked the door open. Instead, they politely knocked on the door and waited for Yang Ming's permission before filing in one after another. They sat upright opposite Yang Ming, lined up in a row, exuding an imposing aura. People who didn't know the inside story might have thought they were there to show off.

Shepard X. Pitt loosened his collar, cleared his throat, and said;

"Shura, the East Sea and West Sea are in constant danger. Undead legions have appeared in various member states. They are impossible to kill completely. They will be resurrected soon after being wiped out. No one knows where they come from. Moreover, their combat power is not strong. However, with their tenacious vitality, they are causing trouble in various countries in the East Sea and West Sea, seriously disrupting the social order of the East Sea and West Sea."

"Currently, the only force capable of simultaneously deploying large numbers of troops against the Undead Legion in both the East China Sea and the West China Sea is the Navy. Therefore, I hope that the Navy can pragmatically fulfill its duties and missions."

Shepard X. Pittsmann's tone was not as aggressive as before, nor did he use commanding words. Instead, he spoke to Yang Ming in a tone of compromise and negotiation.

Clearly, the Five Elders also understood that they couldn't push them too far. Otherwise, if Marshal Shura gave up and allowed the Navy to stand by and let things continue to develop, the situation in the East and West Blues would deteriorate further, which would be troublesome.

Yang Ming's lips curled up slightly without his noticing.

He had originally thought that the Five Elders would be patient and would come knocking on his door after some time.

Unexpectedly, only a few days after he secretly guided the players of the One Piece Online game to attack the city, the Five Elders came to his door to discuss the matter of the Navy sending troops.

That makes sense. The World Government is composed of more than 190 member states. The member states that are currently experiencing unrest in the East Blue and West Blue already occupy about one-third of the seats in the World Government. If so many member states put pressure on the World Government, even the Five Elders, who are high and mighty, will have to bow their heads and compromise.

It's just...

This negotiation and compromise, however, completely lacked the proper attitude one should have when asking for help.

Yang Ming had no reason to tolerate these people. They had previously taken advantage of him and made things difficult for him everywhere, driving him crazy. Now was the perfect time to teach them a lesson and at least get some interest back.

Yang Ming didn't say anything, but silently took out a large bag of rice crackers from the drawer, opened it, and ate them one by one with great relish.

Previously, the Five Elders had established very strict attendance regulations for the Navy. Such behavior as eating snacks at work was not allowed and would require a warning, even if the other party was Marshal Shura.

But now, when the Five Elders need something from others, they can only pretend they don't see it to avoid getting annoyed.

The Five Elders originally thought that Yang Ming should give a clear answer after finishing a bag of senbei.

Unfortunately, they were wrong.

After finishing a bag of rice crackers, Yang Ming took out rice crackers from the drawer again. He ate snacks for eight hours straight, from day to night, without stopping. During this time, Yang Ming did not even go to the toilet once.

What surprised and puzzled the Five Elders even more was that Yang Ming's drawer seemed to contain an endless supply of snacks. In addition to the rice crackers from the beginning, there were also snacks such as donuts, which seemed inexhaustible.

The only explanation is that Yang Ming secretly used a spatial ability to store the snacks in a certain space beforehand, which is why he was able to do such a lavish thing.

The most excessive kind of showing off is the kind that happens when it's done invisibly.

The Five Elders then realized that this Marshal Shura's methods were unpredictable, and he had long since mastered a sophisticated spatial ability, which he could use not only for teleportation but also for everyday needs.

As people get older, they are prone to various ailments, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and high uric acid. The Five Elders were no exception. During the eight-hour wait, the Five Elders had been holding in their bladders until they felt like they were about to burst, and they had to go to the toilet several times to relieve themselves.

Every time this happened, they watched Yang Ming casually eating snacks and forced themselves to keep quiet.

"We absolutely cannot afford to lose in this situation!"

The Five Elders, such as Shepard X. Pitt, secretly harbored resentment.

A strange competitive spirit.

Of course, while secretly gritting their teeth, they also secretly regretted not drinking so much tea; now it was too late for regrets.

Cobra and the Moon Hunter Katarina Devon, disguised as Jaigollucia Satan Saint, glanced discreetly at the other three. Seeing that they were all sitting upright, but actually their bladders were about to burst and their faces were not very good, the two of them secretly chuckled to themselves.

During this invisible and intangible standoff, Yang Ming also knew when to stop while he was ahead.

Otherwise, if the Five Elders couldn't hold back in their offices and embarrassed themselves in public, it would not only cause them to suffer social death, but also make them hate and be hostile towards him, and they would put pressure on the Navy regardless of the consequences. That would not be in line with Yang Ming's plan.

Yang Ming tossed the last bag of snacks he had eaten into the trash can, interlaced his fingers under his chin, and looked at the Five Elders with a smile, saying:

"It's easy to get the navy to send troops; I just need a lot of money and supplies."

"Firstly, as those who know, know, there has been a lot of discontent within the Navy recently, and I need to extend a favor to appease the discontent among the Navy's personnel."

"Secondly, as the art of war says, 'An army marches on its stomach,' meaning that sufficient logistical support is essential for soldiers on the front lines to fight bravely."

"Thirdly, war inevitably results in death, and I need to be responsible for the families of the fallen, requiring a large sum of money as compensation."

The Five Elders had already prepared for Yang Ming to make things difficult for them.

They originally thought that Yang Ming would make even more outrageous proposals, such as taking over the World Government and becoming one of the Five Elders.

Unexpectedly, Yang Ming only requested a large amount of money and supplies.

Any problem that can be solved with money is not a problem.

The five elders exchanged glances and communicated for a moment. They had already made up their minds. Whether they were frustrated and desperate or eager for Yang Ming to send troops to quell the unrest in the East and West Seas, as long as the Navy could resolve the current predicament, the matter concerning Marshal Shura could be postponed.

Chapter 445 The Last Time to Fleece

The five elders exchanged glances and communicated for a moment. They had already made up their minds. Whether they were frustrated and desperate or eager for Yang Ming to send troops to quell the unrest in the East and West Seas, as long as the Navy could resolve the current predicament, the matter concerning Marshal Shura could be postponed.

Seeing the Five Elders readily accept his conditions, a barely perceptible glint flashed in the depths of Yang Ming's dark eyes.

Yang Ming always preferred to plan carefully before acting, and he never acted without a clear purpose.

This was the last time he would fleece the world government.

Therefore, the amount of money and supplies he ordered his personal secretary, Kalifa, to draft was extremely high, almost an astronomical figure.

However, for the World Government, money can be generated again if it is lost. But if the member states of the East Blue and West Blue are overthrown by the Undead Legion, it will be a greater loss. No matter how high Yang Ming's demands are, the Five Elders will do everything they can to resolve them.

Under the operation of the Five Elders, large amounts of money and supplies were transported to the Navy Headquarters.

Kalifa looked very puzzled and said:

"Marshal, the Five Elders have been targeting you for some time now. If you help them, they might come back again after you quell the troubles in the East and West Seas, intending to harm you."

Kalifa was thinking entirely from Yang Ming's perspective, so she naturally couldn't understand Yang Ming's actions.

Yang Ming smiled mysteriously and said:

"You'll know the answer when the Battle of Marineford begins."

Kalifa was completely baffled, but seeing that Yang Ming had no intention of explaining, she wisely refrained from pressing him further.

As her personal secretary, Kalifa knew very well that she had to maintain a certain distance from Marshal Shura. There was a standard for what to ask and what not to ask, and she could not easily cross that line, otherwise she would be overstepping the rules.

This is precisely why Yang Ming admires Kalifa so much, even more so than other former CP9 agents.

The original CP9 agents, such as Rob Lucci, Kaku, and Jabra, were far more courageous and capable than Kalifa, making them formidable fighters. However, Yang Ming had no shortage of formidable fighters, but rather a shortage of considerate and meticulous secretaries like Kalifa. To date, only Kalifa was capable of handling this job.

The position of Admiral of the Navy Headquarters is not one that just anyone can hold. There are a great many official duties to be handled on a daily basis. If it weren't for Kalifa helping to handle most of the official duties, Yang Mingguang would have no time to do anything else all day long, having to deal with all these tedious matters.

Perhaps this is why, although Fleet Admiral Sengoku and Garp were soldiers who enlisted in the same year, they were not the strongest fighting force in the Marine Headquarters back then.

Because he was preoccupied with worldly affairs, the Warring States Marshal did not have much time for cultivation.

As for whether or not to send personnel to quell the unrest in the East China Sea and the West China Sea?

joke!

This riot was orchestrated by Yang Ming behind the scenes, guiding players in the One Piece Online game to launch a siege. This served two purposes: firstly, to hone their fighting spirit and cultivate their combat experience; and secondly, to stir up trouble in the gradually stabilizing seas, making the World Government unable to target him.

Of course, some superficial efforts still need to be made.

Yang Ming ordered the naval branches of the East China Sea and the West China Sea to send troops to symbolically engage in battle with the Undead Legion, which would serve as an explanation to the World Government.

In reality, Yang Ming was preparing for the upcoming Battle of Marineford!

East China Sea.

The capital of the Kingdom of Goa.

Luffy and his crew were surprised to find that they still hadn't found a way to quit the One Piece Online game, as if their souls were forever trapped inside the player's body.

The players have been besieging the city for seven days and seven nights. These players seem tireless, continuously bombarding the tall city walls of the Goa Kingdom's capital with makeshift cannons. Every now and then, a small section of the wall collapses, and then a large number of fearless players will rush out to fight.

The fighting was fierce outside the city, and it was just as fierce inside the city.

This led to the Goa Kingdom's guards conducting a city-wide manhunt, and they would definitely crack down hard if they spotted any players.

While hiding, Luffy and his crew were also evading the pursuit of their guards.

Seeing that his guards were closing in, Zoro glanced around the area, grabbed three brooms, and assumed a three-sword style stance.

"Luffy, we don't need to hide anymore!"

"Since we players have the ability to resurrect, even if we die, we'll give them a taste of their own medicine!"

After saying these words, Zoro turned around and charged towards the numerous guards.

Despite losing his original powerful body and now wielding the Three-Sword Style with a frail, toy-like form, Zoro's swordsmanship remains sharp. He can easily defeat the guards, snatch their swords, and enhance his own fighting ability.

Luffy looked down at his current toy-like body, which was weak and lacked the power of the Gum-Gum Fruit.

"When did I become so reliant on Devil Fruit abilities?"

Luffy clenched his fists, recalling his past experiences. The scene of being easily defeated by Magellan, the warden of Impel Down, flashed through his mind, igniting a fire of rage within him.

"Am I such a weak person!"

"I absolutely must go back to reality and rescue Ace!"

An even stronger Conqueror's Haki than ever before emanated from this frail toy-like body.

Perhaps due to his innate talent, or perhaps to prevent his toy-like body from being easily defeated, Luffy subconsciously restrained the overwhelming Conqueror's Haki, barely managing to wrap it around his fists.

"Drink!"

With a loud shout from Luffy, a black teddy bear could be seen running wildly across the road.

Its ferocious aura, like a Tyrannosaurus Rex running across the land, gave the guards a direct and shocking feeling.

Luffy's fists, wreathed in Conqueror's Haki, granted him unimaginable destructive power. One punch after another, he slammed the guards to the ground, knocking them unconscious with their eyes rolled back and foaming at the mouth.

Watching Luffy and Zoro's incredible performance, Sanji, after several days of getting used to his female wax figure, a cheap cigarette dangling from his lips, a slight upturn at the corners of his mouth, said:
