One Piece Talk King: Starting with Commentary on Devil Fruits

"What a terrifying monster!"

Borsalino gazed at the lightsaber thousands of meters high in the sky, thankfully he had brought a pair of sunglasses with him before setting off.

Other naval personnel were not so lucky. Because of the close proximity, the flashing light of the lightsabers was so bright that they couldn't open their eyes, as if they too were being illuminated by the light.

"It seems that the island of Loguetown will cease to exist in the future."

Sakazuki kept his eyes wide open the entire time, enjoying the dazzling light. This man of justice perceived part of the truth in the light and felt a sublime conviction he had never felt before.

That gleaming sword represents the tragic and noble dream held in the hearts of all the warriors who died on the battlefield, past, future, and present. She took pride in this will and carried on this commitment to the very end.

"If this girl becomes a Fleet Admiral, I'd be happy to remain an Admiral forever."

Sakazuki felt a shock from the sword and suddenly had this absurd thought in his mind: he was captivated by the girl's sword, he was charmed by the girl's appearance, and he was even more impressed by the girl's will.

Centered on Artoria, gusts of strong wind swept around, illuminating the entire sea with golden light and exuding a terrifying aura of destruction. The blonde girl opened her emerald green eyes, her heart filled with the unwavering belief in victory.

Its name——

Noble Phantasm True Name Release - Excalibur

"Ex...calibur!!!"

The lightsaber, thousands of meters long, cleaved down, and everything in its path vanished in its dazzling light. The naval branch, which had been covered in rubble, was instantly cut in two.

Then came the entire town of Rogue. Under the unparalleled light, the earth trembled, houses were shattered, and everything in the town was reduced to dust wherever the light touched. This was an unparalleled, absolute power.

Some residents of Loguetown who hadn't gone far, from a distance of more than ten nautical miles, saw a towering pillar of light strike down on the location of Loguetown. The destructive power it possessed caused these survivors to kneel on the ground and beg for mercy. Such an attack was like divine punishment, completely beyond the comprehension of these ordinary people.

When the dazzling light completely faded, the once prosperous sea town of Loguetown was wiped off the map in one fell swoop, leaving not even a piece of land to stand on. What followed was the flooding of seawater, which completely submerged all traces of human life that had ever existed there.

This was a power the Navy had never controlled before. The girl's move was comparable to an ancient weapon, severely impacting the worldviews of the Navy members present. They never imagined that such a powerful being existed in this world.

Artoria sheathed her sword and floated on the sea. What she had just done had no effect on her; her expression didn't change much. If there was any effect, it was that she was a little hungry and now had the urge to eat.

"Even the island's gone, so Bucky the Clown must be dead, right?"

"If he's still not dead after this, our navy won't be able to do anything about him in the future."

"What terrifying attack power! Thank goodness it didn't land on the Navy."

As the surviving sailors discussed the matter aboard the warship, Sakazuki asked the girl, "Do you have somewhere you want to go? I can have a navy warship take you there."

The blonde girl took a few quick steps and flew across the sea to the warship, saying to the sailors, "After drawing this sword, I have been traveling alone."

"Are you interested in joining the Navy?"

……

The live broadcast from newspaper king Morgans never stopped, and the girl's devastating attack was recorded and spread throughout the world by the photographer.

With Artoria boarding a naval warship, this journalist, who never misses a good spectacle, decided to personally write the press release and urge his subordinates to quickly print the newspaper, so that this world-shaking news could reach every corner of the known world...

Chapter 23 Joining the Navy

The Big Event in Loguetown

The Admiral's Defeat: Bucky the Clown's Hidden Secret

The Vanishing Town of Loguetown: Great Good or Great Evil?

Artoria Pendragon, the Humanoid Ancient Weapon

The World's Greatest Female Swordsman, The World's Greatest Swordsman's Strongest Rival

The Strongest Navy in History: The End of the New World Pirates

Buggy the Clown, the strongest pirate in history, is missing.

The World Economic Herald, the newspaper with the largest circulation in the One Piece world, published several issues under Morgans' personal supervision, spreading this big news throughout the world.

A day had passed since the great battle, and Smoker was still on the warship. He spent 100 Berries to buy a newspaper with headlines that were more outrageous than the last. That birdman was the biggest clickbaiter in the pirate world, and he was secretly stirring up trouble, putting the Navy in a very difficult position.

The newspaper also included several super-large close-up pictures. The first picture was of Buggy the Clown laughing after defeating Admiral Akainu. The second picture was of Artoria using her island-destroying attack, unleashing a lightsaber that stretched for a thousand meters. The third picture was of Loguetown after it disappeared into the sea.

It has to be said that their reporters are professional; every photo they take is better than those taken by the Navy. Logically speaking, the Five Elders have no shortage of Zoan-type Bird-Bird Fruits, but the quality of their printed newspapers just can't compare to Morgans', and the authenticity of their news is even worse.

The World Government has been dealing with the World Economic Herald over and covertly, and its investigation into Morgans, the president of the Herald, has never stopped. They have done things like beheading him and taking him in as a dog, which has caused this king of the underground dark world to always appear in the form of a Zoan-type Devil Fruit, Beast.

Despite being targeted for so many years, he is still alive and well, firmly controlling the narrative with the best-selling newspapers and being a major source of intelligence. In the end, no one could do anything about Morgans.

The newspapers were full of criticisms of the Navy and praises of Bucky the Clown, while constantly extolling Artoria's strength. Originally, these two unknown figures became household names under Morgans's deliberate promotion.

"You really can't judge a book by its cover."

Smoker looked at Artoria, who was stuffing herself with food. This stunningly beautiful "noble girl" had empty bowls and plates piled up in front of her, all of which she had eaten by herself.

"Another bowl, please."

Artoria handed the empty bowl to the ship's cook. She alone could eat the equivalent of more than a dozen adult men. Now, all the naval cooks were focused on her. Her small body, less than two meters tall, had a stomach that could never be filled.

Tashigi, also a woman, sat next to the blonde girl, constantly serving Artoria tea and water—a level of attentiveness never shown to her superior, Smoker.

Tashigi, who enjoys collecting famous swords, was very interested in Artoria's sword. Her eyes never left Artoria's Star Sword. After thinking for a long time, she finally asked the question that was on her mind.

"Lady Artoria, if I may ask you a question, I have never seen this sword before. Is it one of the Supreme Grade Swords?"

"Don't call me 'sir' anymore, just call me Artoria."

"This sword of mine does not belong to the twelve Supreme Grade Swords; it is called Excalibur, and I obtained it from a great lake."

The blonde girl answered the question, felt a grain of rice on the corner of her mouth, licked her lips, and ate it. She had been summoned to this world for several days, and this was the first time she had eaten such a full meal. Moreover, the Navy's food was quite good.

"Your cooking is so delicious, please give me another bowl."

"Yes, Lady Artoria, please wait a moment. You've already finished the last pot, so I'll make you another one right away."

The ship's cook had no ill intentions toward this girl who had a big appetite. Although she had a large appetite, she was very strong. If she hadn't saved the Navy, who knows how many more Navy soldiers would have died.

Pirates who kill without hesitation will not show mercy to a cook who has no fighting ability. Between the Navy and pirates, only the latter can surrender; the former never has a good ending.

In the final battle of Loguetown, only two Navy ships remained. Admiral Akainu took the remains of the fallen Navy soldiers from one ship and returned to Marine Headquarters with Artoria.

Another ship, led by Admiral Kizaru, conducted a large-scale search of the area in order to find traces of the Clown Pirates. Even a single plank from their ship would be enough to prove their innocence.

Under that terrifying island-destroying attack, a single sword strike erased all traces, and the Clown Pirates vanished on the spot. Did Buggy really die from that sword strike?

A group of military doctors surrounded Sakazuki, bandaging his wounds, when Fleet Admiral Sengoku's Den Den Mushi called, firstly to inquire about his health, and secondly to inquire about Artoria's situation.

"She has agreed to join the navy. Fleet Admiral Sengoku, you should consider what kind of treatment to offer her."

The problem was thrown to the admiral, giving this wise general a real headache. This period was not yet the time of the later large-scale naval recruitment, and the rapid promotion of someone with no naval experience to admiral was unprecedented in naval history.

The Navy is a violent agency under the World Government, and its main source of funding comes from it. Adding an admiral would take up a lot of the budget, and this matter needs to be discussed with the Five Elders. The Fleet Admiral is not a one-man show in the Navy.

"I've discussed this with He, and we'll temporarily assign him a candidate position for an admiral, creating an additional admiral. I need to talk to Fleet Admiral Steelbone."

However, money is a minor issue. The fact that the Navy was able to recruit such a strong individual is a huge morale boost for the Navy as a whole in the world. From now on, they won't have to be as hesitant as before when fighting against pirate crews.

The navy has no shortage of lower and middle-ranking soldiers; what it lacks is high-end combat power. High-end combat power has too many places to defend, and is therefore constrained everywhere, unable to unite all forces into one to completely wipe out the pirates at sea.

The New World, the latter half of the Grand Line, has always been a paradise for pirates, and the Navy's strength there can barely be maintained. With Artoria's addition, perhaps this situation can be broken.

After a hearty meal, Artoria was given a private room. Such private rooms are rare on warships, and only officers of the rank of vice admiral or above are entitled to use them. Two female naval officers stood guard outside the room, ready to give orders at any time. The navy's treatment of her was undoubtedly very high.

The blonde girl took out something that looked like a Bluetooth earphone from her pocket, put it on her left ear, pressed the switch, and received a man's voice.

"Artoria, you've done a good job. You will continue to focus on your infiltration of the Navy and report back to me immediately if you have any new intelligence."

"Yes, young master."

But who could have imagined that behind this major event in Loguetown, a pair of hidden forces were orchestrating everything...

Chapter 24 Making a Lot of Money

Fuguang Island in the East China Sea

The mastermind behind the major incident in Loguetown

Mr. Li Wei values ​​leisurely enjoying his fishing time. When there is no fun in the world, he can only pass the time with hobbies from the last world.

I had a secret phone call with Artoria a few days ago. This blonde girl has been accepted by the Navy's high command and will be appointed as an admiral candidate in a few days.

At this time, Fleet Admiral Sengoku was still in charge. Originally, it was thought that the Navy would only give him the rank of Vice Admiral, but unexpectedly, he would go further. Artoria was just one step away from becoming a Navy Admiral.

A few years later, Sengoku will retire, and Artoria will have the opportunity to compete for the position of Fleet Admiral. If one of her own people becomes Fleet Admiral, the scene will be unbelievable.

The Bluetooth headset that Artoria used for her reports was much better than the Silent-Silent Fruit. Li Wei used the main machine, and his subordinates used sub-machines. Sub-machines could not communicate with each other unilaterally; they could only contact each other after the main machine granted them access.

This item was purchased from the system store and is called the Infinite Communication Device. It cost ten million to buy a set that includes one master unit and five slave units. With this item, spies who join other factions can contact Li Wei anytime, anywhere.

While waiting for the fish to bite, Li Wei opened the system's hero interface. A 3D blonde character appeared in his eyes, dressed exactly like Artoria, but scaled down ten times to look even cuter. The hero's basic introduction and skill information could all be viewed on this interface.
