Needless to say, the young girl wore a navy cloak over a pink dress. Despite her young age, she was already very well-developed, with a chest that was as heavy as gold and silver jewelry, making people linger. Beneath the short skirt were two long, slender, and fair legs. Due to years of exercise, her legs were perfectly shaped, with even lines, and her skin was so smooth and supple that it was full of moisture and luster.
Of course, if one were to mistake this young woman for any random person based on her attire, they would likely suffer a serious fall.
The famous sword Kinpira worn at the girl's waist constantly demonstrates to men who covet her that she is not a weak woman who cannot even kill a chicken.
Momousagi Gion is one of the five commodores on the warship. She became a commodore at a young age, partly because of her strong abilities and partly because of Vice Admiral Tsuru's appreciation. Vice Admiral Tsuru treats her like his own younger sister and intends to groom her as his successor.
Momousagi Gion yawned, her ears filled with Vice Admiral Tsuru's tedious remarks.
"After a covert investigation by the Navy Headquarters' secret special forces, it was discovered that the Flamingo, suspected to be Doflamingo's flagship, has appeared near Minion Island."
“Similar incidents have been occurring frequently in various places over the past three months.”
"Doflamingo is deliberately creating a smokescreen by having hundreds of ships that look very similar to the Flamingo appear frequently in different sea areas to mislead the Navy Headquarters' investigation and tracking. Clearly, he is preparing some kind of conspiracy."
"Regardless of whether the ship on Mignon Island is the real Flamingo, we must destroy it as soon as possible and arrest all crew members."
"I am bored."
Momousagi Gion pursed her lips, her gaze inadvertently sweeping over the group of naval officers.
She was quite sensitive to the subtle glances others gave her, and felt a little disgusted. But when her gaze fell on a young man, she noticed that he wasn't vulgar like the other stinky men. He didn't even glance at her; instead, he was standing there in a daze. Her eyes lit up.
Yang Ming's performance was like a green leaf standing out from a sea of flowers; he was truly eye-catching.
"I've heard the sisters talk about him; he's the disciple that old man Garp took in?"
"He looks quite respectable, but I wonder what kind of person he is?"
Momousagi Gion's gaze swept past Yang Ming, and she noticed someone behind her staring resentfully at Yang Ming's back. She thought to herself:
"Is Cao Changxiu En, a Paramecia-type Rust-Rust Fruit user, who originally had enough merits to be promoted to warrant officer, but his position and rank were taken away by Yang Ming, who was parachuted in, so is he resentful?"
"That's interesting. I wonder how he'll handle this."
As if she had thought of something fun and interesting, Momousagi Gion's red lips curled into a subtle smile.
Lieutenant General He looked around and summarized his long speech.
"Gentlemen, we will surely capture Doflamingo alive!"
Yang Ming mingled in the crowd, clapping enthusiastically along with the crowd, while forcing an awkward yet polite smile on his face.
After a long and arduous wait, General He finished speaking, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief and dispersed to return to their posts.
Because of his previous arrest and killing of several pirates with bounties exceeding ten million, Yang Ming was granted the rank of warrant officer and was also assigned the position of squadron leader by Vice Admiral He, leading 50 soldiers who were responsible for taking turns on the deck to observe enemy movements.
When a new official takes office, it's natural to get to know his subordinates well.
Yang Ming gathered 50 soldiers on the deck.
A squad leader manages five men, a sergeant manages ten men, a sergeant manages twenty men, and a warrant officer manages fifty men.
The soldiers were mostly privates, with a few reaching the rank of private. They were clearly elite soldiers who had experienced bloody battles, rather than new recruits who had never been on the battlefield.
There are advantages, of course. These elite soldiers are experienced in combat and have excellent fighting capabilities.
However, the downsides were also quite obvious. These veterans who had dealt with pirates for many years, upon seeing that Yang Ming was actually a seven-year-old child, made no attempt to hide their thoughts and all showed contempt. Even their posture became loose and slouching, almost out of formation.
As the warrant officer's deputy, the two sergeant majors, Shuen and Brannew, not only did not stop the soldiers' behavior, but also stood aside and watched coldly.
Cao Changxiu'en, unable to contain his anger, spoke in a sarcastic tone:
"Kids shouldn't be out here showing their faces. Go home and play in the mud. The battlefield isn't a place for kids to play house!"
"You are not qualified to stand here!"
Sergeant Xiu En deliberately raised his voice so that everyone on the deck could hear him clearly.
Many people didn't have a good impression of Yang Ming, who was parachuted in, assuming that he had gotten in through connections to gain experience.
Being in the navy is a high-risk profession, where you always have your life on the line. If your teammate is a coward and incompetent, he will not only fail to help you, but he will also drag you to your death at critical moments.
Clearly, in many people's minds, Yang Ming has already been labeled as someone who got the job through connections.
Momousagi Gion took in everyone's reactions. Her girlish nature stirred, and she found the situation quite strange and amusing. Her gaze fell on Yang Ming, and she thought to herself:
"What would you do?"
Yang Ming had anticipated this scene as early as when Lieutenant General He was granted his military rank and position.
When he was on the Garp warship, he started as a naval apprentice and did all sorts of hard and tiring work before he gained the recognition of others.
Of course, times have changed, and Yang Ming has a more convenient method now.
Yang Ming crossed his arms over his chest, and a chilling aura suddenly rose up.
"You said..."
"I am not qualified to stand here?"
In the next instant, Conqueror's Haki was unleashed!
Chapter 47 It's okay, you're weak anyway.
The Navy has a strict hierarchy. To obtain the rank of warrant officer, one must have arrested or killed pirates with a bounty of 10 million Berries or more, or have accumulated more than 10 million Berries in bounties for the criminals captured.
Sergeant Blanche and Sergeant Xiuen were longtime friends. Sergeant Blanche couldn't stand idly by when Xiuen, who had already accumulated enough merits, had his warrant officer and squadron leader positions taken away by the parachuted-in Yang Ming. He secretly instigated the discontent among the other soldiers in the squadron.
Sergeant Brannew was not only tall and imposing, but also had a head of hair that looked like green algae, a pair of sunglasses hanging on his nose, and a forehead that looked as if it had been coated with wax, so smooth and shiny that it even reflected a glimmer of light under the sunlight.
Listening to Sergeant Xiu En's sarcastic and angry rebuke of Yang Ming, Sergeant Brannew thought to himself:
"A mere brat like him should..."
Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly felt a chilling aura emanating from the boy he looked down upon.
At this moment, the boy before me seemed like a ferocious beast in human skin!
Those eyes, tinged with scarlet, slowly rotated with three tomoe-like patterns, and even faintly revealed a blue light that seemed to see through the life and death of others, hidden deep within their depths.
When they met those eyes filled with icy killing intent, Sergeant Brannew, Sergeant Shuen, and the other soldiers on the deck felt as if they had fallen into the freezing hell of a deep-sea prison. A chilling coldness froze their bodies and even their brains!
In a daze, everyone seemed to see a terrifying being dwelling in a surging sea of blood, with demonic whispers lingering in their ears.
"Are you saying I'm not qualified to stand here?"
A terrifying aura swept across the ship, making everyone's breath catch in their throats.
"Pfft!"
As one soldier collapsed to the ground, it seemed to ignite some kind of signal, and one soldier after another fainted on the spot, including the sergeant Xiu En who had just made those outrageous remarks.
Yang Ming is currently only learning Conqueror's Haki and has not yet fully mastered it. Conqueror's Haki ignores both friend and foe, and the consequences it causes are remarkable.
Lieutenant General Tsuru, having traversed the seas for many years, possessed an unwavering will. He calmly observed the figure standing amidst the crowd and thought to himself:
"I never expected that this child would have the potential to become a king. I wonder if this is a blessing or a curse for the Navy."
Vice Admiral Tsuru was no stranger to Conqueror's Haki, and even knew very well that those who possessed Conqueror's Haki were all beings who refused to be inferior to others.
Momousagi Gion's legs were weak and numb. She leaned against the wall and collapsed to the ground. Even the navy cloak draped over her shoulders was askew, revealing her milky white skin.
Despite her body having exerted all its strength to resist the Conqueror's Haki, she still felt a slight sense of weakness. Her bright, jade-like eyes stared at Yang Ming, her face full of surprise.
"So, he's actually this strong!"
Because most of the soldiers on the warship were affected by Conqueror's Haki, they would not be able to wake up for a while. Depending on each person's physical condition, it would take at least an hour before everyone gradually regained consciousness.
Before that, the warship was obviously unable to continue its journey toward Mignon Island in the North Sea as planned, so it had to go to the nearest Sabaody Archipelago for a short rest and to replenish its fresh water, meat, vegetables and fruits.
On long voyages at sea, fresh water, meat, and fruits and vegetables are more precious resources than gold, because it is difficult to find inhabited islands on the vast ocean, and it is impossible to buy enough fruits and vegetables to supplement the vitamins needed by the crew. Once the human body lacks vitamin C, diseases such as scurvy will occur.
No matter how strong a person's body is, it is sometimes difficult to resist the affliction of disease. Often, some seemingly insignificant diseases can even take a person's life.
Therefore, most fleets going to sea are equipped with a doctor, not only to treat injuries after battle, but also to take responsibility for monitoring the health of the crew.
While the others were unconscious or weak, Yang Ming lightly touched the air with his toes, stepping on the air as if he were walking on a ladder in the clouds, and climbed to the observation platform on the mast.
Moon step!
This is similar to the Six Styles of the Navy, which share a similar principle with the shaving technique, and Yang Ming had naturally already mastered it.
The observation deck is small, only enough for two people to stand in.
On warships, soldiers responsible for observing enemy positions are also called lookouts.
From beneath Yang Ming's sleeve, a terrifying eyeball rolled down, and two fleshy tendrils wrapped around the mast, quickly climbing to the top and settling firmly there, observing the surroundings from every angle.
Blood Demon Art! Eyeball Clone!
Leaving behind an eyeball clone is just the beginning.
Yang Ming's actions were not without purpose.
Just as he had anticipated the dissatisfaction and provocation from people like Sergeant Xiu En when he first received Lieutenant General He's orders, Yang Ming took advantage of the situation and stunned the vast majority of the soldiers on the entire warship.
Even if someone felt unhappy afterward, or even vaguely sensed something was wrong, Yang Ming could simply attribute it to the defensive counter-attack, claiming it was all Cao Changxiu'en's fault and had nothing to do with him, thus dispelling the concerns of others.
Without a doubt, Cao Changxiu became the scapegoat.
As Yang Ming entered the cabin, countless eyeball clones continuously fell from his sleeves, lurking in the warship's ventilation openings, crew changing rooms and bathhouses, the internal canteen, or the crew's dormitories.
Under normal circumstances, if anyone discovered these terrifying-looking eyeballs, they would surely be mercilessly destroyed by the soldiers. But now, they can move freely and be placed in every corner of the warship without restraint. If Yang Ming wants, no one can escape his eyes.
The reason he went to such lengths to make these arrangements was naturally to find out if there were any Doflamingo spies or Rear Admiral Vergo's informants hiding inside the warship.
Vice Admiral Tsuru has tried to capture Doflamingo, the Heavenly Demon, multiple times, but has never given up despite repeated failures.
Besides Rear Admiral Vergo's contribution, Doflamingo's spies lurking on the warships probably also played a significant role.
Of course, these are all conclusions that Yang Ming has drawn based on his foresight. Since there is no evidence, he cannot persuade Lieutenant General He to conduct a thorough internal investigation, so he can only conduct the investigation in secret.
Previously, while in the deep-sea prison, Yang Ming had already made a deal with Jinbe, the Knight of the Sea. Yang Ming allowed Arlong to be released from prison, and Jinbe provided information on the movements of Doflamingo's subordinates in exchange.
The white Den Den Mushi hidden in Yang Ming's pocket was the tool he used to communicate with the fishmen who were tracking Doflamingo's men.
White Den Den Mushi are quite rare and can emit interference waves during communication to prevent others from intercepting the conversation.
Jinbe, the Knight of the Sea, naturally did not have the financial means to purchase such a precious white Den Den Mushi. He borrowed these two white Den Den Mushi from the Ryugu Kingdom of Fish-Man Island based on his character and reputation.
The warship was very large. After Yang Ming finished making arrangements, the soldiers gradually woke up from their unconscious state.
When the small figure appeared on the deck, many people's eyes showed a hint of fear.
They simply couldn't understand why this boy possessed such immense power.
