Marineford in Sharingan, Uchiha Admiral

As the Navy's bridgehead in the New World, the G-1 branch has facilities second only to the headquarters among all branches.

Not counting his previous trip to Punk Hazard aboard the "Kizaru" spaceship, this was Allen's first time personally stepping into the New World.

……

"The New World is different from the paradise in the first half. The waves, pirates, and weather there are like children playing in the water compared to this place."

The person in charge of this area is a veteran naval vice admiral, also known as Camellia.

This was a thin, elderly man with a white goatee that reached his chest; he looked more like a scholar than a naval officer.

After the flying squirrel finished the handover and left, he explained the mission details to Allen.

……

Although Allen admitted that he hadn't graduated from Zephyr's class yet, Sengoku knew his strength and character, and of course wouldn't allow someone with such fighting ability to stay in the training camp.

After saying this, Sengoku appointed Allen as the acting deputy base commander of the G-1 branch, saying, "It's time to venture into the new world."

After the flying squirrel returned from its mission, it immediately took up the post of deputy base chief of the New World branch when the position became vacant.

……

……

Lieutenant General Camellia pointed to the rolling black clouds in the distance and laughed, "Brigadier General Allen, when do you think it will rain there?"

Looking in the direction the finger was pointing, dark clouds filled the sky.

After thinking for a moment, Allen, based on past experience, said, "It'll probably rain within twenty minutes, right? It looks like it'll be a downpour."

Camellia smiled without saying a word, walked back to her desk, and handed Allen a cigarette from an old cigarette box.

"Go ahead and try it. You'll find out after you've tried it."

Allen felt a little confused, but still took the cigarette and lit it.

About five minutes later—

A thunderous roar erupted, and beneath the pitch-black clouds, a massive, serpentine current suddenly surged into the sky from the sea.

It crashed into the dark clouds in the sky as if it had a life of its own.

Boom boom boom boom boom——————

A tremendous crash echoed through the sky, and then...

At the point where the two collided, an extremely bright light burst forth, and the space between the sea and the sky seemed to be nothing but white.

Countless thunder dragons roared and danced wildly across the sea!

Lightning exploded, and the seawater instantly transformed into an electrified silver storm, like countless white blades slicing through the atmosphere.

The deafening roar pounded on our eardrums, making our chests feel tight.

……

Allen stood at the window, his pupils slightly constricted.

This is...

Even legendary pirates can't withstand the New World's weather system?!

Even with strength a million times greater than that of an ordinary person, one is still so insignificant in the face of nature!

……

thump -- thump -- thump --

Warning bells rang out from within the base, and the next moment, a massive wire mesh rose up, capturing the approaching silver storm.

"The weather here is often cloudy turning into thunderstorms."

A white light flashed on Camellia's face as she smiled faintly, "After the science unit invented the electro-capturing grid, obtaining electricity for the base became much easier."

"That's nothing. Even before, the base could withstand thunderstorms thanks to external facilities."

"In some extremely harsh areas, lava can even rain from the sky, and it's not uncommon for a mountain to fall from the sky."

"It might have been sunny and hot just ten minutes ago, but the next moment it could turn into a freezing blizzard."

"This...is the new world!"

……

The word "camellia" took on a different meaning in Allen's ears.

This is the world of the strong!

No wonder Roger, who reached the final island, was called the Pirate King.

No wonder countless pirates and heroes flock here; only a place like this is worthy of determining the ultimate king!

Before this, Allen had been thinking about it.

Roger didn't defeat Whitebeard, nor did he directly defeat Shiki. He was chased all over the world by Garp. So how did he become king?

I get it now.

The Pirate King isn't someone who defeats everyone; the Pirate King is someone who conquers the Grand Line!

……

After a while, Allen's turbulent emotions calmed down, and he looked up at the clearing sky.

It's a real shame that my goal isn't the end of the sea.

It's the end of the sky!

-

Vice Admiral Camellia handed over a mission sheet: "There won't be any extreme weather near the base for about half a month. You need to patrol the Hilde Triangle during this period and strike any pirates appearing in this area."

"Remember, in the new world, caution is more important than courage."

……

……

On the White Wolf, Allen looked at the crew assigned to the base and thought of his subordinates in the West Sea branch, as well as Dor from the general training camp.

Even with their meticulous training, those men were still far inferior in quality to the marines of the G-1 branch.

If he continues to maintain this momentum, his subordinates, including Dol, are destined to fall behind.

Do not……

Allen shifted his gaze to the churning mist on the sea.

No one could keep up with me anyway; I was destined to surpass everyone else.

Loyalty is more important than ability.

The most important thing now is to find a reliable navigator...

The base has enough navigators to handle normal New World weather, but they're doomed if they have to deal with sudden extreme weather.

The expert in this field is, of course, Vesalius, who is known as the "little sky island."

It is an artificial floating island composed of clouds and a small amount of land, a country with meteorological research at its core, where almost all residents are meteorologists.

Allen met a Vesalian meteorologist while he was in Punk Hazard; he was hired by the Naval Science Unit at a high salary.

Vegapenko once said that, in terms of expertise in the field of meteorology, even he was not as good as that scholar.

……

Should we kidnap that guy next time?

No, that guy is too old and can't handle the strain.

Allen remembered that one of his men had a talent for chart drawing and dreamed of becoming an excellent navigator.

Hmm... I suggest he go for some further training. I don't expect much from you guys in terms of combat power, but at least give him some functional abilities.

Then there are the boatmen... well, a cook is also necessary, but the current cook's cooking doesn't suit my taste, and I'm quite picky about food these days.

……

Allen had taken over management of the base from Smoker a few years earlier, so he was quite experienced in personnel arrangements and was thinking about future plans.

Meanwhile, the White Wolf is about to enter the Sea of ​​Hilde...

The eastern side of Dressrosa borders this sea area.

-

-

-

Dressrosa.

……

The arena was packed, filled with the noise of the crowd, and even the streets for miles around were teeming with people.

Even the nearby islands attracted commoners who came from far and wide, crowding the entire capital.

The once-a-decade grand competition has begun, with prizes consisting of weapons crafted by renowned artisans to the level of famous swords, attracting countless participants.

The price of a famous knife can range from several million to tens of millions of Berries, but this cannot be used as a reference for the actual price.

Like Devil Fruits, famous swords are priceless treasures to those who need them.

Demand determines value.

For example, the Paramecia-type Smooth-Smooth Fruit can transform an ugly person into a stunning beauty with incredibly smooth skin.

According to records, this fruit was auctioned for a record price of four billion more than fifty years ago, which is almost comparable to the price of natural products!

However, if Allen were to eat this fruit, it would only weaken him, making it worthless to him.

……

……

Famous swords are rare, mostly in the hands of renowned sword masters, and are extremely difficult to obtain on the secondhand market.

A legendary sword, yet to be unearthed, attracted the attention of the heavens.

……

"King Riku! Your palace is so dilapidated! I am a noble world royalty! How dare you make me step on such an old red carpet?!"

A voice, filled with disgust and arrogance, echoed through the palace corridors.
