"Gumir, your G-2 branch must coordinate with nearby branches to strengthen the interception network!"

"The news of the successor to Rocks' will appearing in the Sabaody Archipelago cannot be kept secret. Those forces hiding in the shadows will definitely spread this news all over the world. At that time, it will cause pirates from all over the world to flock to the Grand Line. The G-2 branch under your jurisdiction has a heavy responsibility. Intercept as many pirates as you can!"

Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel and Lieutenant General Gumir, with solemn expressions, accepted their respective missions.

Marshal Zhan Guo nodded secretly. Although the two lieutenant generals were not outstanding in combat, their sense of responsibility was still quite gratifying.

Immediately, the Warring States Marshal slapped the newly printed bounty order onto the world map.

The wanted poster depicts a tall young man wearing an ancient abyss mask. A ghostly purple soul flame swirls around him, and his pupils reveal a deep and chilling blue light. He walks through the endless shadows, which seem to drape him in a trailing yellow robe, and he exudes a terrifying aura.

He was like an emperor who ruled over darkness!

"The Lord of the Night, Li Qing!"

"Bounty: 3 million Berries!"

"Starting today, anyone who discovers Lee Sin's whereabouts and reports it to the Navy Headquarters will be rewarded with 1 Berries! Anyone who knows Lee Sin's background and reports it to the Navy Headquarters will be rewarded with 50 Berries!"

Chapter 77 That's how people are; the less capable they are, the more they love to boast.

"How dare you impersonate my child!"

A deafening roar suddenly came from Onigashima, and even the people of Wano Country nearby could faintly hear it. They all closed their doors and hid in their homes, fearing that they would attract unnecessary trouble.

A scorching pillar of fire shot into the sky, dispelling the gloom that shrouded the Ghost Island. A giant dragon, a thousand meters long, coiled above the clouds. Thin sunlight shone through the gaps in the clouds onto the dragon's massive body. Palm-sized blue dragon scales shimmered with ripples of light. The enormous dragon head peered down from the clouds, its eyes wide open, gazing down at the silent figure on the black earth.

"Jin, relay my orders!"

"From this day forward, any member of the Beasts Pirates and its affiliated pirate crews who sees the pirate Lee Sin will be killed without mercy!"

After returning to Wano Country and reporting to Kaido of the Beasts, King realized that he had made a huge blunder and almost caused the Beasts Pirates to fight the Navy.

Now, upon hearing Kaido's command, King's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and a burst of flames spread across his back, as if representing the raging anger burning within him.

"As ordered!"

In the first half of the Grand Line, a brand-new pirate ship docked at a remote harbor in Water Seven.

A group of pirates dressed in various styles stood on the deserted dock. A warm breeze carrying the smell of the sea blew in their faces, and the leader had short red hair that was messy in the wind.

A flock of birds flew over the pirates' heads. As the newsbird released its claws, a rolled-up newspaper fell from the sky. The red-haired youth raised his one arm, as if he had foreseen the future, and accurately caught the newspaper in his hand.

The Worst Pirate Rookie! Bounty of 3 Million Berries!

Lee Sin, the Lord of the Night, a man who claims to be the successor to the Will of Lox!

After quickly glancing at the latest news, Shanks' previously languid gaze suddenly sharpened.

"I originally wanted to catch up with Mr. Tom and thank him for helping me build my new ship, but it seems that's not going to happen now. I need to hurry up and enter the new world to become the new emperor of the sea."

In the original historical development, Shanks would become the youngest of the Four Emperors in 1516 of the Sea Calendar, which is four years later.

Now, with the butterfly effect set up by Yang Ming, it seems that this king, who was already qualified to become emperor, is eager to achieve his goal ahead of schedule.

New world.

"Goo la la la!"

A burst of hearty, powerful laughter echoed across the pirate ship. A burly old man sat imposingly on the deck, laughing so hard that tears almost streamed down his face.

The old man, hailed as the world's strongest man, seemed to be laughing heartily at something amusing.

Edward Newgate casually tossed aside the newspaper delivered by the newsbird and paid it no heed, continuing his drinking contest with the children as if the so-called heir to the Will of Lox was nothing but a pipe dream.

Marshall D. Teach didn't pay much attention to his father's behavior, as he was enjoying the delicious apple pie as usual, until he caught a glimpse of the latest wanted poster out of the corner of his eye, and he was immediately struck dumb.

Marshall D. Teach suddenly stood up, ignoring the astonished expressions of the other crew members, and chased after the newspaper drifting out to sea at his fastest speed ever. His seemingly fat and clumsy body actually concealed agility that was hard for outsiders to imagine. Just before the newspaper fell into the sea, he stretched out his five fingers from the deck and grabbed the newspaper tightly.

"Huchi! Huchi!"

Excited heart, trembling hands.

Marshall D. Teach gasped for breath, his eyes fixed on the bounty poster. Its striking resemblance to the Dark-Dark Fruit sent a shiver down his spine, as if he had lost something precious.

Only after reading the newspaper's detailed description and learning that the pirate Lee Sin was not a user of the Dark-Dark Fruit did he slowly feel a great weight lifted from his heart.

"Hey, Teach, what are you up to?"

Marshall D. Teach's expression changed swiftly. When he turned around abruptly, he saw his old friend Thatch, the fourth division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates. He had already reverted to his usual honest and simple demeanor. Taking a hot apple pie from Thatch, he scratched the back of his head and laughed heartily:

"Nothing! I was just curious why Dad was laughing so happily just now, and I was trying to figure out a way to please him!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, Teach, your dad will be very happy to see you thinking this way."

Edward Newgate narrowed his eyes slightly, glanced meaningfully at Blackbeard, and then continued to tilt his head back and gulp down a bellyful of rum.

Children and grandchildren have their own blessings; don't be a beast of burden for them.

A child who likes to hide his talents is no harm to his family. What's wrong with letting him play dumb to outsmart them?

West Sea.

Three enormous islands defied the effects of Earth's gravity and floated tens of thousands of meters in the air.

The pavilions and towers on the island are exquisitely crafted, satisfying both the daily needs of the land and the combat functions of warships and fortresses, making them truly unique.

An elderly man with a ship's wheel stuck upside down in his head stood on the edge of the island, his hands behind his back, his eyes deep and unfathomable.

The old man was over fifty years old, with hair and beard like a lion's mane. His long, brilliant golden hair cascaded down his back like a waterfall, trailing to the ground. He wore an old-fashioned kimono, and his legs, which had been amputated in half, were now replaced by swords as prosthetics.

Shiki the Golden Lion, captain of the Flying Pirates.

He was a great pirate who lived in the same era as the Pirate King Roger, and he also served on the Rocks Pirates.

"A breeze begins with a ripple on the water, and a wave is formed from a gentle ripple."

Shiki the Golden Lion slowly turned around, looking down at the kneeling young man in a suit, and said:

"Capone Becky, I've been training you for so many years, are you confident that you can unify the entire West Blue Mafia within three years?"

Upon hearing this, the young man in the suit suddenly looked up.

This was an unremarkable face, showing no extraordinary qualities. Only the intense ambition shining through his dark eyes distinguished him from ordinary people.

"No need for three years, just give me six months, and I will wipe out all those Mafia members who don't obey us!"

Shiki the Golden Lion's lips curled up slightly, indicating that he was quite satisfied with the other party's answer.

East China Sea, West China Sea, South China Sea, North China Sea, the Great Sea Route.

Those great pirates who were active in the Rocks and Roger eras seem to have sensed the impending storm of a new era and are secretly taking action.

This sea is never short of excitement, nor is it short of self-important people.

The emergence of the successors to the will of Lox seemed to give these people a glimpse of the possibility of chaos in the world.

In the turbulent sea of ​​fate, though the ebb and flow of the tide maintain a state of equilibrium, there actually lies the abyss of the primordial true god. —Rolando, The Great Liar

The outside world's disturbances cannot disturb the seabed at a depth of 10,000 meters.

The soft seabed sand is covered with the wreckage of shipwrecks and unknown sea plants.

In the pitch-black darkness, a figure sat cross-legged in the depths of the sea, without any protection, exposed to the pressure of the seawater and enduring the pressure sweeping in from all directions.

If this scene were to get out, I wonder how many people would be shocked to death.

Vegapunk once developed a new type of vessel called a submarine for the Navy Headquarters, which could dive to the bottom of the sea. However, it could only dive to a depth of 300 meters before it became powerless and was regarded as a useless thing by the admirals of the Navy Headquarters.

At a depth of 300 meters, a submarine has to withstand tremendous pressure, equivalent to 30 kilograms of pressure per square centimeter, which not only slows down its movement but may also attract the attention of sea kings.

Currently, the Navy Headquarters has only procured a small number of submarines to serve as surveillance ships, specifically for tracking and monitoring dangerous pirates such as the Four Emperors and the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

If a human body were to dive to a depth of 10,000 meters or more, the pressure would be even greater, at approximately 1078 atmospheres. This would be equivalent to 270,000 adults piled on top of each other, severely testing a person's endurance.

After toying with Admiral Kizaru and King, Yang Ming leaped into the sea and remained there in the deep ocean.

Thanks to his passive ability to breathe underwater, Yang Ming can stay in the ocean for extended periods of time, much like a fish-man, without being significantly affected.

The pressure in the deep sea forced Yang Ming to exert all his strength.

Under the combined influence of the Six Treasures Immortal Thief and the Flame Breathing Technique, eight parts of the body—heart, lungs, large intestine, small intestine, triple burner, stomach, gallbladder, and bladder—trembled continuously, connecting with superhuman cells and gourmet cells to continuously invigorate blood. Under the unified command of the dragon bloodline, blood was transfused to the parts of the body that needed it.

The divine power of the Myriad Realms, specifically the power of wind and thunder, allowed Yang Ming to comprehend nature and enter a deep state of meditation. Arcs of electricity flickered faintly around his body, stimulating the growth of his muscles and making them increasingly firm and full of explosive power unimaginable to outsiders.

Thanks to the passive ability of Holy Light Protection, Yang Ming was able to keep himself in a state of constant health regeneration, so that he would not be forced to die from organ rupture due to external pressure.

Yang Ming was completely absorbed in meditation and did not notice that in the deep sea, a bald sea monster was dragging a huge sunken ship and approaching step by step.

The bald sea monster is 80 meters tall, like a skyscraper. Its seemingly slow pace is actually faster than a ship's normal sailing.

A broad-striped tiger shark-man stood on the bow of a skull-shaped ship, staring at the figure sitting cross-legged in the deep sea, carefully comparing it with the bounty poster in his hand, and couldn't help but chuckle strangely.

"This guy has been sitting there motionless for days, he's probably dead. This must be a stroke of good fortune from heaven!"

"As expected, I, Vander Decken IX, carry the hopes of my family and am destined to dominate this sea!"

Van der Deiken IX was lost in self-admiration for a while, but when he looked again, Yang Ming was nowhere to be seen.

Before he could react, he felt a strong, powerful hand on the back of his neck, accompanied by a soft, eerie voice.

"That's how people are; the less capable they are, the more they like to talk big."

Chapter 78 Who do you think you are? Shadow Imitation Technique

Humanity's fear of the deep sea and the unknown is just like its fear of the dark.

In the pitch-black depths of the ocean, desolation and barrenness are the unchanging themes.

A shipwreck over 100 meters long was dragged across the soft gravel, leaving a long trail on the ground.

The enormous sea monster huffed and puffed as it dragged the sunken ship. A tattered pirate flag fluttered on the decaying and broken mast. The cross-skull and skull symbol, with its two swords crossed, was almost unrecognizable after the passage of time, just like the skull with sharp teeth that was now only visible on the prow. Even the hull, which was made from the Adam Tree, could not withstand the erosion of the seawater, and many parts of the hull were decayed and dilapidated.

The striped tiger shark man wearing a small top hat stood frozen, looking as if he wanted to cry but couldn't.

Sensing the murderous intent emanating from the person behind him, Vander Decken IX's four legs trembled uncontrollably, and the multiple necklaces around his neck swayed back and forth, as if trying to remind the giant sea monster towing the sunken ship through these small movements.

Unfortunately, the giant sea monster was simple-minded and focused solely on dragging the sunken ship, completely unaware of the changes taking place on the ship.

King Van der Deiken IX opened his mouth slightly, about to beg for mercy.

As a user of the Target-Target Fruit, Vander Decken IX was well aware that if an enemy got close, they had many ways to kill him. All they had to do was forcefully puncture the water-coating covering his body, which would suffocate him in the sea.

Before Van der Deiken IX could even beg for mercy, Yang Ming suddenly exerted force and easily snapped the man's neck.
