One Piece: New Century Hextech Warriors

A fishing boat drifts with the waves in a certain area of ​​the East China Sea.

The captain stood at the bow, observing the moonlit sea, and scratched his head in confusion:

"Where did I get this for?"

His ship encountered a storm and drifted far away, and the pointer was accidentally broken.

There were still injured crew members on board, and the captain was anxiously searching for land when suddenly his eyes lit up.

Not far from him is an island, and naval warships can be faintly seen from the dock!

The captain quickly instructed the crew to wave the signal device to send a distress signal.

The marines on guard duty quickly spotted the signal flag and ran to report to their superiors.

The center of the island.

Dozens of stone and wooden towers stand scattered about, the shortest of which is seven or eight meters high, forming a "forest of towers".

This was once the kingdom of Tar, and also the temporary storage place for the Heavenly Gold of the East Sea.

The tower, once inhabited by nobles, is now filled with rare treasures from the East Sea and high-quality slaves.

Beneath a tall tower, a pale-skinned blond man lay on a deck chair, gently swirling a glass of red wine in his hand, enjoying a "moonlight bath."

He preferred the gentle moonlight at night to the sweltering, unpleasant sunlight.

At this moment, the marines who spotted the fishing boat rushed over and reported to him:

"Major Admiral Dio, we've spotted a lost fishing boat that's signaling for help. Should we assist?"

This rear admiral from the Navy Headquarters is the highest-ranking officer on the island and is personally in charge of transporting the gold from the East China Sea.

Dior frowned, a hint of displeasure flashing across his otherwise effeminate face.

"Throw them into the sea."

He waved his hand impatiently, as if shooing away a mosquito.

The marine was taken aback:

"Huh? But..."

Dio glanced at him indifferently, his two long canine teeth gleaming coldly in the moonlight.

"But what? This is where the Heavenly Gold of the East Sea is stored; it must not be discovered by anyone."

The marine, sweating profusely, forced himself to speak:

"Major Admiral Dio, they didn't even land on the island. Shouldn't we just drive them away?"

As a naval officer, he simply couldn't bring himself to shell civilian ships!

As soon as he finished speaking, a soft "plop" sound was heard.

The marine clutched his neck, which had been shot, swayed twice, and collapsed to the ground.

Dior gave an order to his adjutant standing beside him:

"Just say he was killed by pirates who sneaked in, and give him a proper burial."

The adjutant nodded quickly and immediately ordered the body to be carried away.

Boom—

After a muffled explosion, a burst of sparks erupted on the distant sea.

This minor incident did not affect Dior's mood. He took a sip of red wine, his gaze intense as he muttered to himself:

"Admiral Akainu, I will never let you down!"

Dio is a Rear Admiral in the Marine Headquarters and a confidant of "Akainu" Sakazuki.

During the Buster Call in Ohara, Dio stood beside Sakazuki, who was then a vice admiral, and witnessed Akainu order the destruction of the fleeing civilian ships.

That absolute justice that was unwavering and uncompromising deeply impressed Dior!

Later, Dio always upheld absolute justice and never hesitated to deal with any suspicious person. He achieved numerous military exploits and became a general in his forties.

This mission to escort the Heavenly Gold of the East China Sea was specially arranged for him by Sakazuki. Such missions are highly rewarding and low-risk, and many people would fight tooth and nail to do them.

Dio has been diligently performing his duties during this time, and now the Heavenly Gold has been almost completely collected. It will be transported to the Holy Land in three days, and there can be absolutely no mishaps at this crucial juncture.

What's more, this time the Celestial Gold is a bit special. In addition to the usual gold, silver and slaves, there is also a female revolutionary army officer who has been chosen by the Celestial Dragons!

If he can safely deliver this Celestial Dragon's future wife, his promotion to Vice Admiral will be a natural outcome.

"If only those two annoying CP0s weren't around."

Dio glanced at the two white figures in the distance and showed a look of disgust.

CP0 is known as the "Shield of the Celestial Dragons" and is specifically responsible for matters related to the Celestial Dragons.

CP0 also sent two members to oversee this transport of the celestial gold.

Dio knew very well that these two CP0 agents, ostensibly protecting Celestial Gold, were actually there to monitor him. To the Celestial Dragons, the Marines were just a bunch of lowly servants, not very trustworthy.

"Once we get through these three days, everything will be fine."

Dior elegantly wiped the wine stains from the corner of her lips with a napkin, feeling quite delighted.

While he was enjoying his red wine, someone else in a tower was also having a feast.

This sturdy stone tower was originally the residence of King Tar, but after the fall of the Tar Kingdom, the rooms inside were converted into prisons specifically for holding high-ranking slaves sent to the Celestial Dragons.

Unlike ordinary slaves, these slaves were to become "brides" for the Celestial Dragons, and their treatment was naturally much better.

Inside what was originally the queen's bedroom, a pink-haired girl was eating with abandon, her left hand holding a pig's trotter before she had even swallowed it, and her right hand stuffing a large chicken leg into her mouth.

Dozens of plates were already piled up behind her, but she kept saying she was hungry.

The marines didn't dare to slack off, so they had the cooks stir-fry until sparks flew as they continuously prepared one dish after another.

After all, this is Ginny, a high-ranking officer in the Revolutionary Army and the bride that the Celestial Dragons specifically wanted. If she were to starve, no one could bear the responsibility!

Ginny downed a large keg of beer, let out a satisfied burp, and shouted towards the surrounding cells:

"Hey, you guys, hurry up and eat! How will you have the strength to run away if you don't eat your fill!"

There were also many girls in the surrounding cells, either princesses of the kingdom or daughters of wealthy merchants.

But these girls, of different ages and backgrounds, now share only one identity—

Playthings of the Celestial Dragons.

Exquisite delicacies were laid out in front of them, but none of them had the appetite to take a single bite.

The thought of their tragic fate as "brides" of the Celestial Dragons made them want to cry.

After Ginny had eaten and drunk her fill, she smiled at them through the iron bars:

"Don't worry, I already told you, my husband will be back to pick me up soon. He's really capable!"

As Ginny spoke, she bent her arms and struck an exaggerated muscular pose.

During this time, Ginny kept encouraging them, saying that her husband would definitely come to rescue them.

Her actions finally amused the purple-haired girl in the opposite cell. The purple-haired girl, leaning against the iron bars, timidly asked:

"Ginny, is your husband really that amazing?"

Ginny wiped her nose and struck a bossy pose.

"Of course! His nickname is Tyrant!"

At this point, Ginny pictured the憨厚 (honest and simple) face of Big Bear, and a blush crept onto her face.

Actually, Da Xiong isn't her husband, or even her boyfriend.

Before setting off for the East China Sea, Ginny confessed her feelings to Big Bear again, but was politely rejected by him once more.

But Ginny didn't care. That idiot was overthinking things. She'd just buy him a ring when she got back and force him to wear it, and that would be the end of it!

The purple-haired girl was infected by Ginny's optimism and chuckled:

"I believe in Ginny, we'll definitely escape!"

She picked up the steak from the plate and forced herself to eat it in large bites.

Ginny is right, how can you have the strength to run away if you're not full!

Seeing her like this, many girls were also encouraged and started eating.

Ginny clapped her hands and laughed:

"That's more like it!"

"Hey there, what's your name, you across the hall?"

She thought the little girl was quite brave.

The purple-haired girl wiped her mouth and answered softly:

"Me...me? My name is Bello Betty."

Ginny slapped her thigh:

"Betty, you have a real talent for inspiring people! Maybe you could join the Revolutionary Army and become a commander someday!"

Betty was taken aback:

"Huh? I...I...I can't do that kind of thing."

She was the daughter of an artist, and was introverted by nature from a young age, never thinking of inspiring others.

"Yohohoho~ Yohohoho~"

Ginny plopped down on the stool, swaying her legs gently and humming a song. If you ignored the shackles on her hands and feet, she would look like she was on vacation.

She was using her singing to mask her fear.

Ginny knew very well that the area was heavily guarded, and that it would be difficult for Big Bear and the others to even find their location, let alone rescue her.

The thought of how the Celestial Dragons might treat her sent chills down her spine.

But she felt that since she had escaped from the Valley of the Gods back then, this kind of place definitely couldn't hold her!

"Xiongxiong, you'll definitely come, right?"

Ginny prayed silently in her heart.

As if in response to her call, a loud bang suddenly came from outside.

"Enemy attack!!!"

The navy was in chaos when a large sailing ship suddenly appeared in the tower; the loud noise from earlier had come from when the ship landed.

"Revolutionary Army!"

Dio was shocked to see the insignia on the sails. How could a revolutionary ship have appeared here out of nowhere?!

The revolutionaries jumped off the ship and charged bravely toward the surrounding navy.

Before he could rush forward, he suddenly felt a cold wind blowing past his back.

"Your opponent is me."

A mocking voice sounded from behind. Before Dio could turn around, he suddenly felt an overwhelming force kick him in the buttocks. His body flew out like a rag doll and crashed into a stone tower like a cannonball.

Behind him, Sith's Night Hunt effect disappeared, and his figure slowly emerged.

He was wearing a black overcoat and a clown mask that looked just like Bucky Barnes'.

"Well done, boy!"

Ivankov jumped off the ship and, seeing what had just happened, gave Sith a thumbs up.

Sith laughed loudly at him:

"Eva, your method worked!"

Ivankov ordered the bear to slam the ship into the air, forcing it to land right in the heart of the enemy territory.

At that moment, Sith saw two white figures rushing towards Ivankov using Moonwalk; they appeared to be members of CP0.

Big Bear had already extended both paws and unleashed a pressure cannon. The CP0 combination in mid-air spun and fell like a butterfly blown by a storm.

"I'm leaving that major general in your care!"

He shouted at Sis and charged toward the other enemies with Ivankov.

As soon as he finished speaking, a pair of scarlet eyes lit up from the hole in the stone tower that Dio had smashed open.
