One Piece: World Conquest Begins with Creating a Little Empress

"Oh! That's a very good question..."

"The answer is actually very simple; we don't need to think about it at all!"

"The man who reached an agreement with us is the most powerful man in the world..."

"He is a high-ranking world nobleman, a man known as Figarand Charasa."

As Ah Long finished speaking, he subconsciously raised his head and looked up at the sky.

"Brother Ak, what are you looking at!?"

Hody Jones looked at Aaron's actions and asked with some confusion.

"Hody, look over there! See what you can see!"

Aaron put his arm around Hody's shoulder, pointed in the direction of the white clouds in the distance, and asked.

"There are white clouds there..."

Upon hearing this, Hody gazed into the distance for a moment before replying earnestly.

"Look again! Look carefully..."

Ah Long looked helpless and urged Hody on.

"Forehead……"

Hody Jones looked somewhat helpless after hearing Aaron's words, but he still looked intently into the distance! Before long, with Hody's efforts, he seemed to see the shadow of a high mountain, which made Hody Jones break out in a cold sweat.

To imagine, how tall is a mountain that's higher than the clouds and still visible from such a distance?!

"That's the highest point on the Red Line! Mary Geoise, known as the Holy Land..."

"This is different from our Fishman Island, which is located 10,000 meters below the Sabaody Archipelago! The Red Line is located 10,000 meters above the Sabaody Archipelago!"

“Across from our island, we are like two extremes, echoing each other…”

"Hody Jones, you should know that we fish-men are actually discriminated against by humans. They say we are ominous beings, the lowest of the low!"

"And on that high and mighty Holy Land, Mary Geoise, dwell the most noble people in the entire world! The Celestial Dragons, known as the world's nobles, are the most exalted beings in the world, claiming to be descendants of gods, and they treat everyone else with equal disdain..."

"The man who made a deal with our Fishman Island is a world noble among world nobles, the most noble being in the world, practically an incarnation of a god!"

"Of course, all of this information was told to me by Queen Otohime and Brother Jinbe. I don't know the specifics of the situation..."

Aaron whispered his fantasies about the Holy Land and everything he had heard about Char to Hody Jones.

"I see……"

Although Hody Jones didn't quite understand, he was deeply impressed.

The fish-men and mermaids were equally shocked. By the time they realized what was happening, they found that Fishman Island had already reached the sea level!

They were greeted by endless sunshine and fresh air!

They are no longer being treated as fish. From this day forward, the fish-men and mermaids will tell the world that they are not fish, but humans.

the other side……

Marine Headquarters Marinevando.

Fleet Admiral Sengoku, dressed in a white suit and wearing the World Government's Justice Coat, stood at the very front of everyone.

In front of Sengoku were three active admirals of the Marine Headquarters: 'Akainu' Sakazuki, 'Aokiji' Kuzan, and 'Kizaru' Borsalino.

Following that were a group of Vice Admirals from the Navy Headquarters.

"Then today's meeting shall officially begin!"

"My men, I'm going to show you something amazing today..."

"Let me tell you, just how big is this world!"

At this point, Sengoku gestured to his secretary, Brannu, whom he had recently promoted to brigadier general.

Brannus has green hair, a shiny forehead, and wears dark sunglasses on his nose. To be honest, he doesn't have the demeanor of a strongman at all. As for the occasional mistake of him for Green Bull, Brannus doesn't know what to say.

"Cough cough..."

Brannu coughed lightly, then placed one wanted poster after another on the blackboard in front of everyone.

"Now, before introducing ourselves, let's discuss the people we're about to talk about!"

"Let's first introduce these legendary figures who are famous throughout the seas..."

"First, there's Gol D. Roger, the first pirate in history to break the 5 billion bounty, known as the 'Pirate King,' who was wanted by the World Government. Next is 'Whitebeard' Edward Newgate, whose bounty is second only to Roger's, also breaking the 5 billion mark..."

"The bounties for these two individuals are unprecedented, exceeding ten billion combined! It's likely that no one will be able to surpass their bounties after this, especially now that Commander-in-Chief Xia Yasheng is in charge of the World Government..."

Brannu paused briefly at this point.

After a long pause, he continued, "Next, we'll talk about the four Sea Emperors who currently rule the New World: 'Beasts' Kaido, 'BIGMOM' Charlotte Linlin, 'Lord of Beehive Island' Wang Zhi, and 'Red-Haired' Shanks!"

"The four Sea Emperors mentioned above all have bounties around four billion, making them the four most powerful figures below the legendary level. Their bounties are comparable to those of 'Golden Lion' Shiki, who was once on par with Whitebeard, and 'Red Earl' Baron Redfield..."

"Tsk..."

Upon hearing this, Sakazuki's expression immediately showed dissatisfaction.

It seems that the stronger the pirates are, the angrier Sakazuki becomes.

"Among them! Kaido, Charlotte Linlin, and Wang Zhi have formed an alliance, creating the New Rocks Pirates, which pose the greatest challenge to the World Government!"

"To be honest, even if we manage to defeat the alliance of the three Sea Emperors with just our navy, it will come at a heavy price!"

"Our current strategy is to use a conciliatory approach to maintain a balance with the New Rocks Pirates as much as possible, so as not to trigger any stress in them..."

Brannus then explained their navy's methods for dealing with New Locks.

"Heh! To think they'd have to deal with pirates through appeasement, how annoying!"

Sakazuki snorted coldly upon hearing this, seemingly quite displeased.

"As for the 'Red-Haired' Pirates, their strength should not be underestimated either..."

"After all, the 'Red-Haired' Pirates have a vice-captain, Ben Beckman, whose strength is comparable to Captain 'Red-Haired' Shanks, and Dracule Mihawk, known as the 'World's Greatest Swordsman'! By the way, both of them currently have bounties of around 3 billion, second only to the Emperors of the Sea..."

"Currently, the World Government's Air Force is handling the task of dealing with the 'Red-Haired' Pirates, which, frankly, has relieved our Navy of a lot of burden..."

As Brannu finished speaking, he wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Chapter 157 Eight years old? You call that eight years old?! Those gifted children of Char's...

"Heh, they're just a bunch of pirates!"

"We, the navy, uphold justice, are powerless against them..."

"We still need the Air Force to help us deal with this!"

"This is a disgrace to our navy..."

Sakazuki sat in the seat closest to the podium and spoke with a rather displeased expression.

"There's nothing we can do! They're just too strong!"

"The world's greatest swordsman, along with a captain and first mate who are on par with the world's greatest swordsman, and a high-ranking group of officials as solid as an iron wall!"

"Faced with this force, it would indeed be very difficult for our navy alone to take it down. If things go wrong, the losses could be unbearable for us..."

Kuzan yawned and spoke nonchalantly.

"Damn it! Kuzan, are you scared?!"

Upon hearing this, Sakazuki glared at Kuzan and roared.

"Oh dear! Sakazuki, please calm down..."

"Besides, on the other hand..."

"If I remember correctly, the captain of the 'Red-Haired' Pirates, the famous 'Red-Haired' Shanks, is Char Aznable's older brother, right?!"

"In other words, this matter involves internal issues within the Figarand family..."

"Therefore, in my opinion, handing this over to the Air Force is the most suitable course of action."

"After all, the active-duty Air Force General 'Momosasa' Gion has a thing with our Commander-in-Chief~"

Borsalino, looking nonchalant, sat down next to Sakazuki and Kuzan. He first yawned, then tried to smooth things over.

"Forehead……"

As Borsalino finished speaking, the entire conference room fell silent.

All eyes turned to Dol, who was sitting not far behind Borsalino.

"Borsalino, you really dare to say that!"

For a moment, even Sakazuki patted Borsalino on the shoulder forcefully and gave him an approving look.

Yeah, Borsalino really does step up when something's wrong!

Borsalino even said things that Sakazuki dared not say...

Sakazuki, deep down, supported Borsalino.

Why should the world be thrown into chaos because of the Figarand family's internal problems?!
