One Piece: World Conquest Begins with Creating a Little Empress

After hearing Amuro's words, Ace first smiled slightly, and then spoke.

"Oh? That silly kid is actually Vice Admiral Garp's grandson?"

"I see! So, Father, why did you ask us to take care of him..."

"During the Battle of God Valley, if it weren't for Vice Admiral Garp risking his life to protect the Celestial Dragons, Father might have been lost on the battlefield like Uncle Shanks! He might even have been in mortal danger..."

Before Amuro could speak, Hathaway's expression froze. He looked Luffy up and down a few times before speaking with a slightly shocked expression.

"So, the other party is the grandson of our benefactor? Then we should indeed take care of him! We, the descendants of the Figarand family, cannot be ungrateful..."

"However, this does explain why that child has such great potential! After all, he is a descendant of the famous Monkey family. If nothing unexpected happens, he should grow into a strong person like Garp and his biological father, Dragon."

Amuro watched Luffy devour his food and said this.

Well, at least on a moral level...

Char's children are all stronger than Char himself, who is a beast!

Sometimes Char even wonders if he's been too good at raising his children! They've become so humble, it's almost contrary to their flamboyant Celestial Dragon persona…

In fact, whether it was Ace, who had undergone the transformation based on Char's bloodline factor, or Amuro, who was Char's actual eldest son, they both appeared incredibly humble...

But in reality, they are still arrogant at heart! The arrogance flowing in their blood, and the influence of others in their environment, will not change because of a good education. They genuinely despise those who are incompetent...

It's simply because they, too, genuinely despise those incompetent Celestial Dragons from other families! So, in order to avoid associating with the Celestial Dragons from other families, or to distinguish their Figarand family from the other Celestial Dragon families in the eyes of the world!

They toned down the arrogant aura that Celestial Dragons were born with, their disdain for everyone, and their smugness about their status!

A few hours later.

"Considering how hard you all worked yesterday, the second training session will be a little easier..."

"Swim 100 kilometers freestyle around the island that was cut off by His Highness Char Aznable!"

"Using yesterday's training results (speed) as a benchmark! Line up in order and enter the sea for training..."

On the evening of the same day Luffy and his crew finished their training, CP0 gave them less than three hours to eat and rest before issuing a second training task to everyone present! The task was simple: a mere 100-kilometer freestyle swim around the island.

"Young Master Ace, Young Master Amuro, Young Master Hathaway..."

"Princess and young master of the Figarand family, Your Highnesses, as Devil Fruit users, please be sure to wear this multi-functional agent uniform for CP0, personally invented by His Highness Char Aznable! This uniform can help you perfectly isolate yourself from seawater, allowing you to swim freely in the sea like non-Devil Fruit users."

As CP0 spoke, they took out one white agent uniform after another, tailor-made for Ace and the others, and placed them in front of them...

These uniforms, while outwardly resembling suits, actually consist of trousers and jackets that are seamlessly integrated, with no gaps between them. The fact that these spy uniforms resemble suits is purely for aesthetic purposes…

In addition to these uniforms, CP0 also equipped Ace and the others with a series of masks to match them! These masks were naturally the same ones that CP0 wore when they went on missions! These masks were not just for aesthetics or to conceal the identities of CP0 members; they also served the ingenious purpose of protecting against gas, poison gas, and seawater.

Ace and the other ability users, seeing the equipment provided to them by CP0, put on their uniforms almost without hesitation! At the same time, they also donned the multi-functional agent masks invented by Char himself…

"Ready, set off..."

The moment the CP0s finished speaking...

Amro and Hasavi took the lead and jumped into the fifty-meter-wide river channel.

When it was Ace's turn to jump into the water, he paused slightly, then walked over to Luffy, Zoro, and Kuina, smiled at them, and softly encouraged them, "You guys have to do your best! Hard work always pays off..."

After Ace finished speaking, he jumped into the river with a 'plop'.

"Go for it?!"

Kuina stared blankly at Ace as he disappeared.

"This guy is a good person!"

As for Zoro and Luffy, they exchanged a glance and simultaneously came to their conclusion.

"Plop, puff, puff..."

After Ace and the others went into the sea, Zoro, Luffy, and Kuina also jumped into the river and swam away into the distance. Since Luffy, Zoro, and Kuina all live on islands, they are all very good swimmers.

In fact, because most people in the world live on islands near the sea, learning to swim is an essential skill for people living on these islands.

Of course, living in a place like Alabasta, which, although called an island, is far larger than the concept of an island and could even be considered a continent, is not unacceptable. This excludes those who have lived almost their entire lives in the desert and have never even seen the sea, as well as those who have accidentally eaten a Devil Fruit and become unable to swim.

"It's just swimming 100 kilometers, isn't that too easy for them?"

On the island, an agent watched Luffy, Zoro, and Kuina swimming swiftly in the sea like fish in water. He frowned slightly and asked the CP0 officer who had given the training assignment a question.

"If it were just swimming, it would be simple..."

In response, the CP0 member, whose face was hidden behind a mask, smiled slightly.

"Speaking of which, it's about time. That guy should be out hunting by now, right?!"

CP0 gazed at the distant sea and murmured something softly.

Not long after...

Under CP0's nagging, a creature with crimson eyes, about a hundred meters long, and resembling a giant eel, slowly emerged from the seawater...

"Hey! That guy, could he be a sea king?!"

An agent noticed the creature and asked the CP0 agent next to him in confusion.

"Lord of the Near Seas! The smallest of the sea kings..."

In response, the CP0 nodded slightly and introduced the name of the large fish.

"Damn it, won't the appearance of the Sea Kings pose a threat to the young masters' safety?!"

After looking at the Lord of the Near Sea for a while, the agent asked the CP0 agent beside him.

"Don't worry! It's just a small sea king; it can't harm the young masters..."

"However, it's enough to deal with the Monkey family brat..."

The CP0 member chuckled. How could a mere Sea King possibly harm the children of the Figarand family, whose defense rivaled that of the Lunaria clan?! That Sea King was precisely what he intended to use against Luffy and his crew. Besides, the plan wasn't devised by him, but by the esteemed Lord Char Aznable. Otherwise, where would he have found the audacity to send a Sea King to pursue the princes and princesses of the Figarand family?!

"That's absolutely insane!"

The other agents shook their heads in response.

Meanwhile, the group swimming in the sea naturally noticed the large fish behind them.

"Are you kidding me?! How could I possibly encounter a sea king?"

"If this thing catches up with us, we're doomed!"

Zoro glanced at the large fish behind him, cold sweat beading on his forehead.

"Speed ​​up! Speed ​​up! Speed ​​up!"

As for Kuina, she had forgotten her fatigue due to the pursuit of the Lord of the Near Sea. Her adrenaline was surging, and she seemed to have broken through the shackles of her potential, entering a completely new realm. Indeed, between life and death lies great terror, but also often great opportunity!

"Ah!! There's a fish, a huge fish! Run!"

As for Luffy, he started yelling and shouting like a coward.

"It's a sea king?!"

Hiyori, who was closest to Luffy, Kuina, and Zoro, noticed the Sea Kings chasing them and swam directly to the shore, climbing ashore on her own...

After all, this river is only fifty meters wide, not the exaggerated fifty kilometers of Alabasta. You can easily swim to the other side by just a couple of strokes.

As for Luffy, Kuina, and Zoro, they had clearly discovered the giant sea king, but they continued to move forward without any intention of giving up!

It seemed the three of them were determined not to leave the shore until they had swum 100 kilometers...

"ill!"

Hiyori squatted on the shore, watching the three little creatures swim past her at high speed, and the sea kings chasing after them relentlessly. She yawned listlessly.

Is strength really that important?!

So what if you have power? So what if you're invincible and incredibly strong?

Was her biological father, Kozuki Oden, capable of fighting? He was certainly capable enough, right? He was a man even the mighty "Strongest Man in the World," Whitebeard Edward Newgate, and the Pirate King Gol D. Roger couldn't ignore! He was also considered the strongest enemy by Kaido, the "Beasts," who currently occupies Wano Country. But so what? A brain is a good thing, but unfortunately, her biological father didn't have one. So in the end, Oden was destined to die, wasn't he?

In this world, power and influence matter; only authority and wisdom truly matter...

The reason why humans can dominate the ocean and repel powerful sea monsters is not because humans are stronger than sea monsters, but because humans are smarter than sea monsters!

"boring……"

As Hiyori spoke, she decided to go back and get her beauty sleep. Her skin was very delicate and she couldn't let the sun damage it. Compared to great power, Hiyori chose to be beautiful...

"boom……"

On the other side, the Lord of the Near Sea was getting closer and closer to Luffy and his crew.

In fact, with the speed of the Lord of the Coast, catching up with Luffy and the others would be too easy.

He's just playing a cat-and-mouse game right now!

After all, even the Lords of the Coast rarely encounter such interesting prey as Luffy, Zoro, and Kuina.

"what……"

Unfortunately, every game eventually comes to an end...

When the Lord of the Coast gets tired of it, that will be the time for Luffy and his crew to ascend to heaven.

Suddenly, the Lord of the Near Sea appeared behind Luffy and his companions, opening his gaping maw.

"We're doomed! We're doomed..."
