One Piece meme: Starting with eight extraordinary skills

"Thank you, I really like this gift."

The little girl squinted, seemingly enjoying Yang Ming stroking her head.

For Yang Ming, this was merely a trivial incident.

But for the little girl Jasmine and her family, it was a very significant event.

For the next few weeks, Yang Ming stayed in the Kingdom of Prodens, keeping a close eye on the progress of the factory's construction.

The Kingdom of Prodines was bustling with activity, but for the sea, the storm stirred up by Li Qing, the Lord of the Night, was far from over.

The Void Throne.

This is a throne steeped in history. In front of the throne are twenty ancient-style swords, spears, and halberds, symbolizing the twenty nobles who formed the World Government eight hundred years ago. If you look closely, you can even see traces of family crests on the handles of these weapons.

A figure as tall as a giant sat on the throne, his sharp eyes sweeping over the five old men kneeling beneath it.

If there were outsiders here at this moment, they would be shocked to discover that these five old men are actually the nominal leaders of the World Government!

"Decades ago, Rocks D. Xebec gathered a group of powerful pirates with the intention of building the most powerful pirate force on the seas."

"Decades later, Lee Sin, the Dark Lord who claims to be the successor of Rocks' will, seems to have the same idea and wants to recruit Doflamingo as his subordinate."

"Right now, Li Qing, the Lord of the Night, has not yet become a force to be reckoned with. We must nip this troublesome seed in the bud as soon as possible."

Lord Im's sinister voice echoed in the ears of the Five Elders, causing the five men, all over fifty years old, to shudder and break out in a cold sweat. They hurriedly nodded in agreement.

The Five Elders received their new orders and departed, preparing to notify the Navy and the CP organization to begin mobilizing and searching for the whereabouts of Lee Sin, the Dark Lord, worldwide, sparing no effort to capture or kill him alive.

Lord Im left the Void Throne and passed through a large stone archway covered with vines and moss, arriving at a secret chamber.

On the wall was the latest bounty poster for Li Qing, the Lord of the Night, with a bounty of one billion Berries.

Jumping directly from 300 million Berries to 1 billion Berries is an extremely rare occurrence in the past, and only those pirates who have performed amazing feats or posed a great threat to the World Government have such a qualification.

Lord Im waved his hand, and a dagger flew from his grasp, its sharp tip embedded in the bounty poster. He muttered to himself:

"This person's background is unknown, and all his past experiences are untraceable. It's as if he appeared out of thin air in this world."

"Could it be that he is..."

Cake Island.

A plump noblewoman lay sprawled on the enormous bed, adorned with expensive pearl necklaces and gemstone rings on her neck and ten fingers. Her large hand propped up her cheek, while her other hand held the latest newspaper from the World Economic News Agency, which she quickly glanced at out of the corner of her eye.

Shocking! This man single-handedly took on three Marine Admirals, and is the only one to escape the Buster Call!

Charlotte Lingling's thick lips, painted with bright lipstick, curled slightly upwards as she let out a series of strange laughs.

"Interesting! Absolutely interesting!"

"I originally thought it was just an imposter, but I never expected that it would actually do something that shocked the whole world."

"

This man is worthy to be my husband! If we were to have a child together, inheriting both of our bloodlines, we would surely be able to cultivate a powerful being that transcends human limitations!

Charlotte Linlin's eyes lit up with excitement at the thought.

Obeying Charlotte Linlin's will, the long-awaited family meeting is about to be held, and family members who originally had their own missions are returning to Whole Cake Island from outside.

If this were any other day, Charlotte Linlin's big move would definitely have attracted the attention of the Navy Headquarters.

But at this moment, the Navy Headquarters is also preoccupied with its own problems.

Since this Buster Call was aimed at Dressrosa Island, in order to avoid the battle from continuing and affecting the island's residents, causing unnecessary losses, Admiral Borsalino and Admiral Kuzan of Aokiji clearly held back at the last moment, allowing Yang Ming to jump into the sea.

However, the Marine Headquarters has never failed in issuing Buster Orders. It is precisely because of this deterrent power that it is able to intimidate all the villains on this sea, preventing many forces from acting rashly or provoking the Celestial Dragons' authority.

But now, the Buster Call, which has never failed before, has suffered its first major setback. Under pressure from the Celestial Dragons and the World Government, the Marine Headquarters must send out a sufficiently powerful admiral to take the blame in order to resolve this crisis.

Naval Headquarters, inside an office.

The Warring States Marshal clasped his hands together, his ten fingers interlaced under his chin, and looked at the nonchalant figure before him through his round spectacles, saying in a deep voice:

"Kizaru, are you sure you want to take responsibility for this?"

Admiral Borsalino crossed his legs, appearing much more relaxed than usual, and said calmly:

"Sengoku, the consequences of this Buster Call failure are extremely dire. I will take all the blame upon myself. This way, you can explain to the Celestial Dragons and the World Government, as well as to the people in various regions with ease."

"Besides, I'm at the age where I should retire and enjoy my old age. The world is so big, I want to go and see it."

After pondering for a moment and carefully weighing the pros and cons, Fleet Admiral Sengoku finally agreed to Admiral Borsalino's resignation.

Marshal Sengoku tapped his fingers unconsciously on the table, feeling a headache coming on. He thought to himself:

Who would be the best candidate to fill the vacancies of the three admirals at the Navy Headquarters?

"It's time to think of a way to select suitable candidates."

Chapter 105 The old era has ended, and a new era is beginning.

The Great Prison of the Deep Sea, the Sixth Level of Avici Hell.

Deep within the dark and damp prison, a cigarette is lit, and wisps of smoke obscure Barrett's face, vaguely revealing the features that the sea remembers so vividly.

By the dim light of the fire, he lowered his eyelids, holding the newspaper that the warden, Shiryu Ameno, had brought from outside. He quickly glanced at it, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"A brand new era is about to begin."

Fishman Island.

A young man leaned against the wall of the shell house, wearing a black top hat adorned with white fur, which covered his short black hair.

The man was wearing a burgundy patterned shirt, white trousers, and black ankle boots. He had a large black trench coat draped over his shoulders, a sharp knife shaped like a cross hanging in front of his chest, and a large, black knife as tall as himself slung over his back.

This sword is no ordinary blade; it is Yoru, the world's strongest black sword, coveted by swordsmen worldwide.

The young man simply stood there, yet he exuded an invisible aura that kept the surrounding mermaids and fish-men from approaching within a hundred meters, as if this were some terrifying forbidden zone.

A slightly slender pirate ship arrived from afar, its coated hull slowly sailing into the island through the main gate. Under the warm welcome of the Sea King Army of the Dragon Palace Kingdom, it gently docked at the pier.

If you look closely, you can even spot King Neptune and Queen Otohime of the Ryugu Kingdom welcoming the new pirates hand in hand.

If it were an ordinary pirate crew, they wouldn't have the prestige to lower themselves to personally greet you.

But the newcomers are no ordinary people; they are the Red-Haired Pirates, who, even before landing in the New World, are already being hailed as the fourth Emperor of the Sea.

Shanks, who had just set foot on the island, stopped and stared at Dracule Mihawk, who was blocking his path. His one arm hung naturally at his sides, resting on the hilt of his sword, and he said:

"Hawkeye, long time no see. You've come to spar with me again?"

Upon hearing this, Hawkeye Jorakor Mihawk abruptly raised his eyelids, revealing a pair of sharp, hawk-like eyes. The bronze pupils reflected Shanks's unruly face. He expressionlessly pulled out a newly issued bounty poster.

"I'm just here to tell you that if you want to become the fourth Emperor of the Sea, this person will be your greatest rival."

Lee Sin, the Lord of the Night, has a bounty of 10 billion Berries.

As Shanks loosened his grip on the sword hilt, a look of seriousness appeared on his face.

Even before Shanks entered the New World, rumors were already circulating on the high seas that he was about to become the fourth Emperor of the Sea, which was certainly not unfounded.

This is not only due to the formidable strength of Shanks and the Red-Haired Pirates themselves, but also because there is a hidden force pushing them forward.

Morgans, the president of the World Economic News Agency, with his journalistic instincts and keen sense of smell, once secretly investigated Shanks' background and unexpectedly discovered that he had intricate connections with the Figaran family, one of the Celestial Dragon families.

When the investigation reached this point, Morgans terminated all further investigations.

The secrets surrounding the Celestial Dragons' families, while possessing extraordinary news value, also imply endless trouble and disaster.

The more you know, the faster you die.

Morgans isn't stupid; he wouldn't dare to provoke the Celestial Dragons.

The serious expression on Shanks' face lasted less than five seconds before he couldn't hold it in any longer. He casually put his arm around Hawkeye D. Mihawk's shoulder and laughed:

"Don't overthink it. Things will work themselves out. King Neptune just gave me a bottle of his prized wine. Let's go have a drink."

Seeing Shanks' carefree attitude, Hawkeye D. Mihawk maintained his expressionless face, but was inwardly speechless.

The Grand Line.

The Island of White Earth, Valdigo.

This is an uninhabited island, surrounded by Gobi and desert. The barren and saline land is infertile, making it impossible to grow any crops. Even the resilient poplar trees and cacti cannot survive on this land.

However, on this remote and inaccessible island, the headquarters of the Revolutionary Army, which causes the World Government a great deal of trouble, is hidden.

The desert is solitary and straight, and the long river falls into the sun.

As the sun sets, a giant rock casts a long, slanted shadow.

The interior of this megalith has been hollowed out to create rooms and environments suitable for human habitation.

A figure wearing a dark green coat stood in front of a world map, carefully gazing at the territories of various powers marked on the map.

A scorching wind blew in from the hollowed-out rock cavern, lifting the hood of the dark green coat to reveal a strange and fierce face beneath, adorned with bizarre tattoo patterns, lacking eyebrows, with a hooked nose, thick lips, and stubble on his chin.

His eagle-eyed, wolf-like appearance is enough to inspire awe.

This person was none other than the leader of the revolutionary army, Monkey D. Dragon.

On the map, a thick, dark mass of ink remained, like a ferocious tiger in the forest eyeing the territory of other forces.

Above this ink-black mark are the words "Li Qing, the Lord of the Night".

"My old subordinates who stayed at Marine Headquarters have sent word that Kizaru intends to take responsibility for the failure of the Buster Call. Sengoku is looking for a new Marine Headquarters Admiral. Could I use this opportunity to help someone who sympathizes with the people and agrees with the Revolutionary Army's ideals rise to power?"

Although he was talking to himself, it seemed that Long already had the answer in his heart.

He was holding a stack of photographs in his hand.

Judging from the blurriness of the photos, it seems that the photographer was not taking pictures openly, but rather hiding in a secluded corner to take them secretly.

The photo clearly shows Yang Ming playing and training with Luffy, Ace, and Sabo when they were in the East Blue.

As a father, Dragon, despite being unable to be by Luffy's side due to his sensitive identity, does not mean he will ignore Luffy's growth. There are people secretly staying in Windmill Village all year round, sending photos of Luffy's life back to headquarters.

This explains why, after several transfers, Sabo arrived at the Revolutionary Army headquarters and was trained by a powerful figure. Later, he became a cadre of the Revolutionary Army and served as the Chief of the General Staff.

Many people may not fully understand the position of Chief of the General Staff. Within the Revolutionary Army, the Chief of the General Staff is the second-highest position after the Commander-in-Chief, and is considered second only to the Commander-in-Chief. If Dragon were to die unexpectedly, Sabo would be the first in line to succeed him.

Even Ivankov and Tyrant Bear, who had followed Dragon for many years, were only army commanders, not chiefs of staff.

In fact, this can be seen from the original work.
