One Piece meme: Starting with eight extraordinary skills

Admiral Sakazuki slammed his palms down on the table, almost cracking it.

His tall, imposing figure, like a bear, stood before Yang Ming, his upper body leaning forward, almost touching Yang Ming, as he roared, unable to contain his anger:

"Marshal, please forgive me for being unable to comply!"

"We are at a crucial time before the decisive battle against the Whitebeard Pirates, and I absolutely cannot accept being absent from this great war!"

Seeing Admiral Sakazuki's rudeness towards Yang Ming, without Yang Ming needing to say anything, in the next instant, accompanied by a loud "clang," a stunning flash of light swept through the air, precisely landing on Admiral Sakazuki's neck. Admiral Fujitora smiled, opening his lifeless white pupils, and calmly said:

"No disrespect to the Marshal is permitted!"

At the same time, two figures, one green and one purple, stood tacitly beside Admiral Sakazuki of Akainu.

The green bull's grazing feet sprouted vines as thick as an adult's arm, swaying in the air like tendrils, exuding a fierce energy that seemed ready to fight at the slightest provocation.

Commissioner Magellan remained silent, his body emanating wisps of purple poisonous smoke. However, under his powerful control, the smoke did not spread around him but instead remained confined to his body. The poisonous mist solidified, vaguely transforming into a skull-shaped exoskeleton.

Sensing the undisguised killing intent of the three, Admiral Sakazuki of Akainu frowned.

Director Magellan is one thing, after all, he is a veteran admiral-level powerhouse. If he hadn't been trapped by the side effects of the Venom-Venom Fruit, he would have been one of the three admirals of the Marine Headquarters.

But what surprised him even more was that the newcomer beside him, whom Yang Ming had unearthed from the common people, actually possessed strength no less than that of Director Magellan. Those green vines seemed ordinary, and although magma would normally restrain plants, they gave Admiral Sakazuki of Akainu a deep sense of threat, as if they were something that could threaten his life.

Yang Ming waved his hand, indicating that General Fujitora and the other two did not need to be so nervous.

The three of them then withdrew from their fighting stances and silently returned to their seats.

A cold sweat broke out on Admiral Sakazuki's back. Only now did he realize that he had been somewhat reckless. This excessively young Fleet Admiral Shura had already unknowingly infiltrated every corner of the Navy, firmly grasping this powerful force in his own hands. This was merely a routine procedure, giving himself one last bit of face.

If he does not accept this decency, Yang Ming will give him decency!

as predicted!

Just as this thought flashed through Admiral Sakazuki's mind, Yang Ming opened his desk drawer, took out a stack of envelopes, and said calmly:

"These are emails privately sent to you by former Vice Admirals Doberman, Onigumo, Stroberry, and Kasakatsuyama, who have already defected. Akainu, how do you explain your lingering ties with these former subordinates?"

Upon hearing this, Admiral Sakazuki of Akainu's expression changed slightly.

These days, who cares about emails!

Admiral Sakazuki of Akainu always delegated these trivial matters to his adjutant, only reporting important matters to him through his adjutant.

But his adjutant didn't even tell him about such an important matter.

what does this mean?

This means that even his trusted adjutant had long since sided with Marshal Shura!

Once the contents of the envelope are confirmed, a charge of treason and betrayal will certainly be inevitable.

Perhaps, there are other charges waiting for him, such as disloyalty to the navy or being two-faced!

Admiral Sakazuki of Akainu simply couldn't understand why former vice admirals like Doberman, who had long since betrayed the Navy, would secretly send him emails. Who knew what they were writing in those emails? Although they had once been superiors and subordinates and got along well, there was no need for them to betray him like this at such a crucial moment. Now, even if he jumped into the Yellow River, he couldn't clear his name!

Chapter 451 A Big Stick, A Sweet Date

Admiral Sakazuki of Akainu simply couldn't understand why former vice admirals like Doberman, who had long since betrayed the Navy, would secretly send him emails. Who knew what they were writing in those emails? Although they had once been superiors and subordinates and got along well, there was no need for them to betray him like this at such a crucial moment. Now, even if he jumped into the Yellow River, he couldn't clear his name!

At that moment, Admiral Sakazuki of Akainu felt a chill run through him. Even though it was a hot day, he was still covered in cold sweat, and his hands and feet were ice-cold. Even when he secretly used his Devil Fruit power, he could not dispel the chill.

Seeing the several changes in Admiral Sakazuki's expression, Kuzan, who had been competing with him for decades, couldn't help but shake his head secretly, a hint of pity flashing deep in his eyes.

Since they already knew that Marshal Shura was capable, why didn't they obediently accept his arrangements instead of stubbornly defying him?

Now it's all good. You don't want dignity, so Marshal Shura will personally give you dignity!

Admiral Kuzan could imagine that once the contents of the letters exchanged between traitors like Kasakatsuyama and Admiral Sakazuki Akainu were exposed, it would inevitably cause a huge uproar within the Navy, and Admiral Sakazuki Akainu would be utterly disgraced!

As for where these traitorous generals' letters came from?

Back then, Yang Ming implanted the Shadow Technique mark into Lieutenant General Doberman, secretly turning him into one of his own. Now that he has joined the Revolutionary Army, once Yang Ming gives the order, Lieutenant General Doberman will naturally make the corresponding choice. Sending a few letters is nothing to him.

As for the fact that even Admiral Sakazuki's lieutenants betrayed him, it wasn't something Yang Ming did intentionally; rather, they came to him willingly.

As the saying goes, a good bird chooses a good tree to perch on, and a wise man chooses a good master to serve.

It's obvious to anyone with eyes that since Fleet Admiral Shura took office, the distinction between factions, hawks, and neutrals within the Navy has gradually disappeared. Under his powerful influence, the Navy has become his personal fiefdom. It's only a matter of time before Admiral Sakazuki loses power. Rather than waiting until then to be dismissed or sidelined, it's better to abandon the darkness and embrace the light early on, selling himself for a high price.

These are minor matters, not something that should be discussed at length; they are merely used to explain Marshal Shura's current prestige.

Just as Admiral Sakazuki of Akainu was looking dazed and somewhat at a loss, he suddenly saw Marshal Shura raise one index finger, from which a wisp of flame appeared. With a flick of his two fingers, the flame landed on a stack of envelopes, and in an instant, the fire flared up and gradually burned all the envelopes to ashes.

"This……"

Admiral Sakazuki of Akainu was dumbfounded, not understanding what Marshal Shura meant.

Yang Ming was already very skilled at this kind of thing—giving a slap followed by a sweet treat—and calmly said:

“Akainu, since you joined the military, although your style of doing things has been criticized by many, you have made outstanding contributions to the development of the Navy, which we all have witnessed. If such a great contributor as you is to be smeared in this way, it is not only a disgrace to everyone in the Navy, but also a disgrace to me!”

Yang Ming stood up, patted Admiral Sakazuki's broad shoulder, then walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, turned his back to the crowd, and said:

"Times are changing, and we naval commanders also need to keep pace with the times and look at problems from a developmental perspective. We cannot always look at current events with the perspective of the past."

“Akainu, I know you’re very resentful and unwilling to accept this, feeling that I’m taking away your power, but you’re seriously underestimating my magnanimity.”

"Think about it. Now our navy has opened up battlefields in the East China Sea, West China Sea, North China Sea, South China Sea, the Grand Line and the New World, and is eradicating the mafia, bandits and pirates in all directions. Our forces are already stretched thin. In addition, a large number of pirates have poured into the Grand Line and the New World from all over the world to do evil. Relying on just three admirals of the Navy Headquarters is no longer enough to deal with the ever-changing situation."

"That's why I appointed you as the New World Expeditionary Envoy in the first place. I hoped that you would become the sharpest sword in the Navy, fight your way through the murky waters of the New World, and show the might of our Navy!"

Yang Ming slowly turned around, and the sunlight streaming in from the window fell on him, making him appear extremely dazzling.

At that moment, Yang Ming seemed to become the embodiment of light.

A hand reached out and landed in front of Admiral Sakazuki, followed by Yang Ming's calm voice:

"Akainu, are you confident that you can create a new world without any evil with us?"

Upon hearing this, Admiral Sakazuki of Akainu felt a long-lost surge of excitement, and even realized that he had indeed wronged Marshal Shura before.

Come to think of it, when Fleet Admiral Sengoku wanted to recommend Yang Ming to become the new Fleet Admiral of the Navy Headquarters, he jumped out to compete with Yang Ming. After failing, he was not specifically targeted by Fleet Admiral Shura for a long time. On the contrary, he participated in various major battles.

As if by some strange twist of fate, Admiral Sakazuki of Akainu grasped Yang Ming's hand and nodded heavily.

The handover between the old and new naval admirals was completed in this peaceful atmosphere, without any conflicts, making it a happy ending for everyone, with everyone getting a satisfactory result.

Shortly after Admiral Sakazuki Akainu signed his name on the appointment document, his personal secretary Kalifa knocked on the door and entered, holding a silver Den Den Mushi. This Den Den Mushi was encrypted to ensure that the conversation would not be leaked or overheard.

Yang Ming gestured to the others that they didn't need to leave. After connecting the silver Den Den Mushi, the first sound was Caesar Clown's familiar cackling laughter. Then, to everyone's astonishment, he dropped a scientific breakthrough that was enough to shake the world:

"Marshal, I have uncovered the secret to how humans became giants!"

"what!"

Hearing such shocking news, even Yang Ming was moved.

Subsequently, Caesar Courland recounted the experiment in detail, meticulously recording every nuance of Major General Shuen's transformation. This allowed everyone to witness firsthand Major General Shuen's change, creating a profound sense of immersion and allowing them to fully appreciate the impact of the experiment.

Although Major General Xiu En has only grown to the height of one head during the experiment, as long as the research project continues and Major General Xiu En continues to consolidate the results, he will be able to become a giant at least ten meters tall. Even if he is only a teenager, his strength will be dozens of times that of an ordinary person, and his body bones will be as hard as if he were wearing heavy armor. He will definitely become a terrifying army on the battlefield.

Chapter 452: Changing with each passing day

Although Major General Xiu En has only grown to the height of one head during the experiment, as long as the research project continues and Major General Xiu En continues to consolidate the results, he will be able to become a giant at least ten meters tall. Even if he is only a teenager, his strength will be dozens of times that of an ordinary person, and his body bones will be as hard as if he were wearing heavy armor. He will definitely become a terrifying army on the battlefield.

More importantly, this method of becoming a giant can be applied to the entire navy!

Even though this requires a major prerequisite—practicing Life Return from the Six Styles of the Navy and limiting the target group—once someone learns to transfer the life force stored in Life Return to others, it will be extraordinary.

Admiral Sakazuki's eyes gleamed, a sense of guilt rising within him. He had underestimated Marshal Shura's magnanimity, realizing that his subordinates were so talented, having quietly developed such a deadly weapon.

He could imagine that once Caesar Clown popularized the method of evolving ordinary people into giants, the Navy would be able to cultivate its own giant legion, wreak havoc on various battlefields, completely end this Great Pirate Era, and realize a new world where no evil exists.

Yang Ming also took this matter very seriously. After dismissing the crowd, he led a group of elite troops loyal to him to Caesar Courant's research institute.

Caesar Clown's research institute is located in Wano Country.

After many months, upon returning to Wano Country, one can immediately sense the tremendous changes that have taken place there.

When Yang Ming and his party arrived in Wano Country, the sun was shining and the breeze was gentle. At this time, lavender and other flowers and trees were in full bloom. The wheels rolled over the newly paved asphalt road and passed through the city that was being rebuilt. The streets were lined with towns and villages, and there were homes and shops outside the carriage windows.

Suddenly, a black sculpture flashed past the car window. It was extremely tall and imposing, at least thirty meters high. It was crafted by the most skilled artisans in the entire Wano Country, taking forty-nine days to complete. It was modeled after Yang Ming's wise and mighty image. Beneath a pair of thick eyebrows, his eyes were bright and piercing. Below his high nose bridge, his lips were tightly pursed. One hand rested on the hilt of his sword at his waist, while the other hand hung naturally at his side. At this moment, he was gazing into the distance overseas, exuding a rather majestic aura.

Beneath this black sculpture stands a square stone tablet, made of a material resembling historical texts. It is said to withstand centuries of wind and rain without fading the inscriptions, and is less susceptible to damage from war and gunfire, making it a family heirloom to be passed down through generations.

On this square stone tablet, the people of Wano Country wrote lines of text in their unique language and with deep emotion, recording the changes that Yang Ming brought to Wano Country.

Looking at the statue and the stone tablet, Yang Ming felt as if he were paying homage to his deceased self, a strange feeling.

The streets were bustling with traffic and people.

Every now and then, you can see simply dressed people coming with flowers or fruit to place in front of the statue and perform a unique form of worship.

Ordinary people are simple and honest; they know very well who treats them well and who treats them badly.

The shogunate system of Wano Country has now been swept into the dustbin of history by Yang Ming, who has brought them a brand new system, bringing light and freedom, and giving ordinary people more dignity. Even though they are still living in poverty, they have regained hope for the future.

As long as they work hard at the New Hope factory, they can enjoy the benefits and treatment of workers. Their children can't afford to go to elite schools, but they can go to workers' schools, learn to read and write, and when they enter society, they won't have to follow in their parents' footsteps and work like slaves all their lives. They can do some easier and more respectable jobs, have a higher social status, and change their lives.

Regardless of where they are from, parents all share this desire for their children to succeed.

Children are their emotional support and the continuation of their lives.

They had no choice before, so they lived their lives in a daze.

But now, after Yang Ming completely transformed the corrupt country of Wano, bringing them hope, they seemed reborn, their enthusiasm for work incomparable to what it once was.

Back then, Momousagi, Gion, Tina, and others also fought alongside Yang Ming in Wano Country.

Seeing Wano Country transformed and everything moving towards a brighter future, the shock and emotion felt by Momousagi, Gion, and the others were no less than that of the common people.

"Development is the only way forward!"

"Only those with stable assets can maintain a stable mind!"

"When the granaries are full, people know shame and honor!"

They hadn't paid much attention to what Yang Ming usually said to them, or rather, they hadn't understood it at all.

But as they looked at the rapidly changing new world, Momousagi and Gion finally understood Marshal Shura's vision and ambition.

Defeating Kaido of the Beasts is nothing special, wiping out the Beasts Pirates is nothing special, and overthrowing the Shogunate system in Wano Country is not surprising. But being able to change the world for this corrupt country and bring a new life to the people is something that puts him on a completely different level from ordinary strongmen.
