One Piece Talk King: Starting with Commentary on Devil Fruits

Smoker, the White Horse Admiral, injured Charlos Saint, which was disrespectful to the gods. This was something that could not be brought up in public, and Vergo completely stole the limelight. He killed a Celestial Dragon in front of him, which was a major taboo. It would not be an exaggeration to say that the world was shaken after this scene.

Women are all petty, especially this woman who is a Celestial Dragon. Although the future has not yet happened, Charlia Palace does not mind taking revenge. "Father, let's unite with the other Celestial Dragon families to put pressure on the Donquixote Celestial Dragon family. It is too dangerous for Doflamingo to keep him outside. Let the Five Elders kill him as soon as possible."

Even without his daughter, Roswald Saint wanted to do the same. He had long disliked the Celestial Dragons of the Donquixote Family and had even clashed with Musgard Saint in the light screen. Since he had already offended them, he might as well go all the way. They were all Celestial Dragons, so who was afraid of whom?

Neither of the Celestial Dragons from these two families have entered the ranks of the Five Elders, so their status and position are equal, making it relatively fair for them to fight each other.

Moreover, they had received prior information that the Five Elders had issued a recruitment order for Doflamingo, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. Before completing his mission, he was to come to the Holy Land of Mary Geoise for questioning. They didn't know how the Five Elders would deal with this former Celestial Dragon. If he caused such a huge mess as the Rumbling in the future, he would have to be held responsible.

At this time of day, Doflamingo keeps sneezing, not because his strong body is sick, but because many people around the world are thinking of him. After all, the light screen has portrayed him as a world-destroying big boss, so it's hard for him not to be remembered and have to play the fool.

"The atmosphere on the young master's ship is strange. After what happened in the light screen, are we still going to the Holy Land?" Gladius asked the young master, expressing his doubts about their current situation.

"It's all because of this damn light screen that puts us in the spotlight for others to admire, and all the important secrets of our family have been exposed. Do we have a grudge against the person behind the light screen?"

The clown swordsman Diamanti did not feel joy at his increased strength. Although it was very satisfying to watch him easily kill Trafalgar Law, he did not know how the famous sword, the Serpent Tail Maru, would end up in his hands. He was afraid that someone else would get their hands on such a powerful sword. If it was intercepted halfway, who would he cry to?

Doflamingo only brought these two executives with him on his trip to the Holy Land. Diamante and Gladius kept arguing in front of him, giving the former Celestial Dragon a splitting headache.

Since boarding the World Government's ship, they have been restricted from coming and going by CP0 agents outside the cabin, which can be said to be a form of house arrest. Doflamingo is now considering one thing: should he just jump ship and escape back to Dressrosa?

The Heavenly Demon had no better solution at the moment, and this time he was genuinely panicked by the light barrier.

Chapter 156 Arrest

Doflamingo was driven to the brink of ecstasy by the light screen, his clothes were stripped off in public and he was stared at at will, not even his underwear was preserved. This is the embarrassing situation of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

Vergo has been an undercover agent in the Navy for over a decade. If it comes to manipulating and manipulating the Navy, other pirates on the high seas would have to bow down to him. No one expected him to be so cunning.

Special executive, Sugar Paramecia-type Hobby-Hobby Fruit user, can turn anything he touches into a toy. This ability is simply too overpowered. I wonder how many toy smugglers are working day and night for the Donquixote Family in the underground of Dexrotha.

Princess Mansherry of the Tontatta tribe is a Paramecia-type Heal-Heal Fruit user, capable of healing any injury in a short time. Despite her small size, this ability is incredibly overpowered, giving her officers the ability to fight again after a few sit-ups. In a prolonged or drawn-out battle, if the enemy doesn't have a strong figure to keep things under control, most forces on the high seas would be no match for the Donquixote Family.

Kaiser Clown, the partner of Tenyasha, is a mad scientist whose fame has begun to overshadow Vegapunk's, mainly because the products he displays on the light screen are simply too incredible.

Judging by the current timeline, artificial Zoan-type Devil Fruits should have already appeared. To secretly trade with the Beast Pirates, one of the Four Emperors, right under the noses of the Marine base, and strengthen the power of the opposing pirates, is simply defecating on the head of the entire Marines.

It is unknown where he stole the bloodline factors of the three admirals from, and used three ugly fish-men to create a fake version of the three admirals, giving SpongeBob, Patrick, and Squidward the ability of Logia-type Devil Fruits.

Although the counterfeit product was defeated by the White Horse General, the destructive power displayed by the three fishmen in the light screen attracted the attention of many underground forces. If they could make contact with Caesar Cullen and get their hands on a scientific product, they would definitely have more face and be even more domineering on the sea.

All four of them are connected to Doflamingo. Many people underestimate Doflamingo's ability to cause trouble. He actually planned so far ahead. No wonder he was able to trigger the Rumbling, a world-ending crisis, five years later.

This former Celestial Dragon was not only coveted by his enemies, but also by his allies. The Five Elders even had other ideas about him, and the entire Navy wished they could tear him apart.

But if we're talking about the future revealed by the light screen, which power will ultimately benefit on the high seas? No one else but the navy would dare to claim it.

The amount of intelligence revealed by the light screen was overwhelming for the entire naval department. Since they knew the future in advance, they would not allow a terrible future to happen. If they didn't eliminate the spies of the Navy's G-5 branch now, when would they?

Under the orders of Fleet Admiral Sengoku, Admiral Kizaru, the fastest man in the Navy, accepted the mission to capture Vergo and Caesar Clown, and to protect the lives of the mad scientist at all costs. Such high-level talents should not be let go.

Previously, the Science Unit had voluntarily dismissed Caesar Couran, and the person in charge was subsequently severely reprimanded by Fleet Admiral Sengoku. Borsalino was also implicated and had a month's salary deducted.

Admiral Kizaru's trip to the Navy's G-5 branch this time was partly motivated by a desire to atone for his past mistakes. If he didn't mess up the mission, the salary he had been deducted would be returned to him in full.

When it came to money, this admiral displayed astonishing efficiency, not slacking off for a moment on his way to the sub-base, traveling at near-light speed to Punk Hazard.

Punk Hazard inadvertently became the target of everyone's criticism, and Vergo, the spy, could no longer hide. The moment his figure appeared on the naval prison ship, the navy officers beside him looked at their superior with disbelief.

When Vergo was questioned by his colleagues, he didn't explain anything with words, but instead showed them through his actions that the man in front of him was indeed a spy trained by Doflamingo in the Navy.

Vergo wiped out all the nearby navy in an instant. He no longer cared whether his former comrades were dead or wounded. He didn't have time to care about others; he didn't have much time left.

This man was ruthless and showed no mercy from the start. Any navy officer who blocked his path would fall victim to his cruelty. Vergo had only one mission at the moment: to escape Punk Hazard with Caesar Clown.

"Destroy everything that needs to be destroyed. I've already arranged for boats; we can leave by boat now."

Vergo spent some time overcoming obstacles to reach Caesar Courland. Although the mad scientist was suspected of misappropriating funds, they couldn't worry about that now; their priority was to escape.

"These pseudo-Admirals and their mermaid weapons are just too perfect; they're practically works of art. But this damned light screen prematurely exposed everything, and I have no experimental data to test them with!"

Caesar Courant, this mad scientist, spent the first half of his life pursuing weapons of mass destruction, and as an arrogant genius, he completely believed in the results shown in the light screen five years later.

The thought of one day being able to trample Vegapunk, who looked down on him, underfoot is incredibly satisfying. A large part of the reason Caesar Clown has become so extreme is thanks to Vegapunk.

"Before I leave, I want to give the navy a surprise. I'm going to make Punk Hazard disappear from the map completely."

Caesar Courland felt a brief pang of regret for the loss of these experimental devices and the secretly constructed factory, before his mind was consumed by madness.

Just as the two were about to leave the laboratory, a golden flash appeared before them, leaving a trail of afterimages. The newcomer was wearing a righteous coat, with a lewd face but an aura of power that exuded an oppressive aura. "Where are you two headed? Do you need me to give you a ride?"

"Admiral Kizaru!"

Borsalino!

These thieves encountered the last person they wanted to see. Vergo did not expect that the Navy Headquarters would take this so seriously, sending a Navy Admiral directly to Punk Hazard, leaving the Sabaody Archipelago's naval defenses weak.

“The Navy sent me here, so you should understand their attitude. You two, come back to Marineford with me.” Borsalino’s smile vanished. This man had risked his life to get here to avoid having his wages docked, and he had lost all patience with the two scoundrels in front of him.

Vergo held a bamboo stick in his hand, imbuing it with Armament Haki. His entire body was also covered in Armament Haki. As a spy in the Navy, a violent organization, he knew what fate awaited him if he were captured and brought back to Navy Headquarters. To still try to struggle in front of a Navy Admiral was truly commendable.

"Since you're going to make a move, then don't blame me," Borsalino said, transforming into a golden afterimage. He dragged Vergo's body around the factory, giving the enemy no chance to resist.

The Punk Hazard factory is littered with the blood of Vergo, the naval spy, who will bear the wrath of a naval admiral alone.

Chapter 157 Timeline Theory

Driven by greed, Kizaru unleashed astonishing speed. Most of the G5 branch's marines were unaware of Vergo's identity, and he resolved all matters concerning the G5 branch in a very short time, eliminating a crisis before it could even begin.

The laboratory and SAD factory, which were secretly built, matched the content on the light screen. After the Caesar Clown explosive device was deactivated, whether such places should be destroyed requires a scientific assessment by the Navy Headquarters.

Artificial Devil Fruits had already begun to be supplied to the Beasts Pirates. Fortunately, it was discovered early, and the Navy's decision to cut off this supply route is a belated but timely intervention, and there is still a chance to salvage the situation.

Borsalino perfectly completed the mission assigned to Fleet Admiral Sengoku. He did not hold back at all during the mission. Vergo, an undercover agent who had been lurking in the Navy for more than ten years, was tortured to the point of being unrecognizable. His skin was rubbed off by the construction, and the factory that produced SAD substances was tainted with the smell of humans.

"This time you haven't disappointed me. I've sent the nearest prison ship to pick you up. In the meantime, you must keep a close eye on Vergo and Caesar Courland."

"Now that I've received the news about Fleet Admiral Sengoku, can we put an end to the matter of my salary being docked? You know that a Marine Admiral's salary is limited, and with prices so high these days, these Berries really don't last long," Borsalino said, trying to get his salary back through the Den Den Mushi and subtly suggesting that Fleet Admiral Sengoku raise his pay. It was a joke to say that a Marine Admiral was a penniless wretch.

Fleet Admiral Sengoku, who was stationed at Marine Headquarters, could not understand the hidden meaning in Kizaru's words. However, he was quite cunning and directly changed the subject, skipping over the matter of salary increases and not giving Borsalino any room to maneuver.

At this moment, in the naval operations room, almost all the elites of the naval headquarters were gathered. They were discussing a question: what was originally going to happen in the future has been completely changed by the current naval situation, with Punk Hazard being wiped out in one fell swoop. Will the future also change?

Is it a very serious thing to change the future without authorization? Just like what King Allen described in the light screen, he foresaw the future and was going to help a family change their terrible future, but he did not expect it to lead to an even more serious result. In the future, there was originally only one person who died, but in the changed future, the whole family was wiped out.

"Changing the future might not be a good thing."

"It's too much to ask us roughnecks to think about this kind of thing; the scientists should be the ones to worry about it."

"I'm worried something more serious might happen; the navy needs to expand its strength now."

Just as the naval high command was arguing, a blonde girl at the back stood up and raised her right hand, saying humbly but firmly, "May I say a few words, everyone?"

Gion watched as her best friend suddenly jumped up. Her friend hadn't consulted her at all and wasn't prepared at all. It was too late to stop Artoria.

Although both women held the title of Admiral Candidate, it was essentially just an honorary title. The actual power in the Navy was controlled by the highest-ranking officers of each department. For example, Admiral Borsalino was the Commander of the Naval Science Unit, a powerful figure with immense authority.

Gion and Artoria are nominally under Vice Admiral Tsuru, living with a group of female naval officers. These are the women who wield power within the navy. Whether other high-ranking naval officers pay them any attention depends on their mood. In this violent organization, seniority is a common practice.

A hint of doubt flashed across Vice Admiral Tsuru's face, but it was quickly replaced by a gentle smile. His interactions with Artoria these past few days had made this shrewd old man realize that it was a waste of her talents to be working in the Navy system.

"Artoria, just say what you want to say. The operations room is a place for discussion, so don't disappoint me," Vice Admiral Tsuru said, expressing high expectations for Artoria. As for whether the Navy can enter a new era under her leadership, further observation and testing are needed.

"Gion, you'll have to cooperate with me for a bit. Just do this and that..." Artoria whispered in Vice Admiral Momousagi's ear, telling her about some things she would need, letting her best friend be her tool for once.

A few minutes later, Artoria replaced the meeting king, Brannu, and the blonde girl stood on the main balcony, with a group of scrutinizing eyes looking at the future acting marshal.

Vice Admiral Momousagi brought a blackboard and placed it behind Artoria. The girl picked up a charcoal pencil and drew a straight line on the blackboard. With a delicate finger on the line she had just drawn, she began her daily science lesson: "What I have just said was told to me by the Royal Palace's science advisor. Through his theories, I can roughly understand what the downsides of changing the future are."

Artoria did not reveal the scientific advisor's name, leading many to speculate that he might have died within the Kingdom of Britain. However, the dead man was not the point; rather, it was the scientific insights he left behind that opened up a new avenue of thought for the Navy.

The concept of timeline is explained to the public. Timeline is the foundation for the existence of world lines and historical lines. With time, the development of the world and the process of history can be depicted. Without a timeline that runs through the source and the future, the world and history would have no meaning.

"You can think of this line I drew as a timeline, the timeline we are in, which I call the main timeline." This single line on the blackboard, drawn with a light touch, encapsulates all the humanity and history of the entire planet.

Artoria drew another line on the blackboard. The two lines did not intersect but were parallel. "The future that happens in the light screen can be called the future timeline. Everyone knows that time always moves forward and never stops. We have never experienced time reversal. Most of us spend our lives traveling along the main timeline. We are all part of the river of time."

However, the appearance of the light screen brought about a problem. Since we now know what will happen in the future on the main timeline, the timeline of the future events should have changed. Originally, the two timelines were in a sequential relationship, but due to external forces, they began to split apart.

She stated her thoughts: "Some of you may not know the horror of timelines. For example, we sent Admiral Kizaru to eliminate Punk Hazard, a stain on the Navy, but people who had died in the future timeline were fortunate enough to live on because of our intervention. The reverse is also true."

Interfering with the timeline is a foolish thing to do. Some people who shouldn't have died, and some who shouldn't have been born, are all taking turns playing out their roles in the main timeline. It is possible for the past to change the future, but it comes at a terrible price.

Chapter 158 It’s scary to think about it carefully

Only after Artoria fully explained the timeline did the Marines realize the seriousness of the situation. Their actions would not only affect the pirates but also the future development of the Marines, and whether a new Marine would even emerge was now a question.

"The main timeline and the future timeline were originally sequential, but due to our intervention, the main timeline has deviated towards a more uncertain future. You should be prepared for this."

Artoria paused briefly, giving the people below ample time to discuss. The concept of timelines prompted one Marine after another to brainstorm. Some things couldn't be thought about too deeply, as delving into them would only terrify the ignorant.

"Then it's very likely that the next twelve admirals will not appear."

"Our priority is to stop Alan Yeager; we don't want to experience a cataclysmic crisis like the Rumbling."

"We've uncovered Doflamingo's plans, and the major event he orchestrated won't happen either. Sometimes knowing the future in advance isn't a good thing."

The crowd below the stage chatted amongst themselves, all trying to imagine the darkest possible scenarios. However, their perspectives were limited, and they underestimated the deeper theories of timelines.

The blonde girl drew a longer and thicker white line above the two lines and pointed to it, saying, "If you completely believe my science teacher's theory, the appearance of the light curtain is easy to explain. In fact, the main timeline we are in may just be a tributary of another timeline. I've named this line the Sacred Timeline."

The Sacred Timeline projects a light curtain into the past, causing the main timeline to split from the future timeline and intersect with the former to form a new timeline. This is a scientific intervention method.

As for how many branches the Sacred Timeline has, Artoria believes it could be infinite. Eventually, all timelines will intersect with the Sacred Timeline, because only the Sacred Timeline can intervene in the past from the future through the light curtain; other timelines are merely byproducts.

Speaking of this, I suddenly feel a bit uneasy. All of you here are appendages of the sacred timeline. Some things are destined, and thinking too much will only add to your troubles.

Therefore, Artoria told the entire navy one thing: whether the future changes are a bad outcome or not, in the face of the sacred timeline, everything we have in the main timeline has already been marked and is predetermined. Go all out and do it without any burden.
