One Piece: Starting with Creating the Strongest Character Design

Naval Headquarters, Marineford.

In recent months, due to Fisher Tiger's disturbance at the Holy Land, the Navy has urgently recalled a number of retired soldiers and recruited an additional batch of new Navy recruits.

The number of people in Marineford at this time was greater than in previous years.

Today is just an ordinary day in the usually busy Marineford.

The soldiers were supposed to be training, patrolling, and completing their missions as usual.

But just now, they received an urgent notification.

"Everyone, proceed to the nearest training base in small teams. The Marshal's office has important news to deliver!"

Upon hearing this news, some soldiers were puzzled. What news required such a solemn announcement?

Some soldiers, however, were relaxed, thinking they could rest for an afternoon.

Some people, however, considered the recent rumors about the brigadier general and thought that perhaps the Sengoku Marshal was finally going to respond to this matter.

Amidst the commotion, tens of thousands of soldiers headed to the nearest training ground.

When they arrived at the nearest training ground, they discovered...

In the former rudimentary training ground, there is now a screen and a video Den Den Mushi.

The naval soldiers were somewhat surprised to see these things.

In the past, there have been special notices for them to hear important matters at the training ground.

However, the messages delivered through the video Den Den Mushi were only a few times, and without exception, they were all about major events.

"It's a video Den Den Mushi? I've only seen it a few times."

"Do you think the Warring States period marshal will appear in this video? I've never seen him before..."

"I'd like to see what General Zephyr looks like."

"I want to get a closer look at the legendary naval hero, Vice Admiral Garp!"

For a time, discussions filled every training ground.

Blue—

As the Den Den Mushi's eyes lit up, the voices in the training ground gradually quieted down.

A figure appeared on the curtain.

He was tall and imposing, wearing a naval cap and frog-shaped glasses. His mustache was tied in a braid, and his eyes exuded an air of authority that made people afraid to look him in the eye.

Behind him hung a calligraphy scroll that boldly proclaimed "Rule of Justice Under Heaven."

This person is none other than the Navy Admiral, the Buddha of Sengoku.

Don't be fooled by Zephyr; Garp and the others just wander around Sengoku's office all day long.

However, as the supreme authority in the entire navy, the soldiers had almost no chance to interact with Sengoku except for seeing him once in the newspaper.

And as a naval admiral, he naturally had many admirers in the navy.

So the moment Sengoku appeared on the projection, a deafening gasp rang out throughout Mariephand.

"He was a marshal of the Warring States period, the legendary Buddha of the Warring States!"

"I saw the Warring States Marshal in action a long time ago; his strength was truly immense!"

"Seeing is believing, and he truly deserves the title of 'wise general' from the Warring States period. He is clearly very wise."

For a time, every training ground was filled with admiration for the Warring States period.

Meanwhile, Kitahara Tsune was hiding in a corner of a training ground, watching the soldiers shouting the names of Sengoku.

"No wonder the Navy was able to suppress those vicious pirates in the New World. The sheer amount of worship these people have for Sengoku is something those pirates can't match."

"After all, the navy has genuinely brought them order and stability."

This is only the Warring States period; if the person on that screen were the naval hero Garp, he couldn't even imagine how chaotic Marineford would be right now.

It's important to know that most of these naval soldiers joined the navy because of Garp's name.

Clearly, the Warring States period also knew what would happen after the opening ceremony.

"Quiet!" Sengoku said, his voice filled with authority.

In just a moment, the entire Marineford fell into a silence so deep you could hear a pin drop.

"I think most of you have already heard about the recent news that Brigadier General Kitahara Tsune has become General Zephyr's disciple," Sengoku said.

Upon hearing this, the crowd became instantly agitated.

"Who exactly is this Kitahara Tsune? I've never heard of him before."

"How did he suddenly become General Zephyr's disciple? Does he really have the ability?"

Many naval soldiers waved their arms to express their dissatisfaction, as if they were the ones who should inherit Admiral Zeff's mantle.

His words were full of doubt about Kitahara Tsune's identity and strength.

It can only be said that Kitahara Tsune's stirring up of trouble these past few days has played a significant role.

In the video Den Den Mushi, Sengoku did not speak again.

He simply took out a pre-prepared video Den Den Mushi from his hand and pressed his finger on its shell.

With a "whoosh,"

Sengoku's figure disappeared behind the curtain, replaced by Zefu and Kitahara Tsune.

The scene depicting this moment is the battle between Zephyr and Kitahara Tsune on that day.

"What's going on? That's General Zephyr..."

"So, the other person is Kitahara Tsune? That means Brigadier General Kitahara Tsune?"

"In that case, I think I've seen him before. He's been training around this training ground for the past few days."

As he spoke, the navy officer looked around, seemingly searching for Kitahara Tsune's figure. After searching in vain, he looked back at the curtain.

"Why did the Warring States Marshal show us this?"

"Since Lord Zhanguo showed this to us, there must be a deeper meaning behind it."

The scene continues, with Zephyr and Kitahara Tsune standing facing each other, both poised to attack.

"No way? General Zephyr is actually going to fight this kid?"

"This kid is really overestimating himself, daring to fight a general. He really doesn't know his own limitations."

"Even with Admiral Zephyr's powers restricted, he's still not someone an ordinary person can fight against!"

Some people looked disdainful, thinking that this kid was about to be defeated by General Zephyr.

Some people believe that Brigadier General Kitahara Tsuneo's courage in daring to fight a general is commendable.

However, as the video continued to play, its contents took everyone by surprise...

In the first collision between Kitahara Tsuneo and Zephyr, Zephyr was sent flying backward.

At this moment, a sense of horror arose in the hearts of many naval personnel.

Their invincible general, Zephyr, was actually sent flying by a single punch from this kid.

How is this possible?!

Before the horror in their hearts could subside...

The entire process of the two men's Armament Haki confrontation had already been witnessed by them.

Although most of the navy didn't know what Armament Haki was, they did know about Admiral Zephyr's reputation for "Black Arm".

Some of the navy were quite surprised to see that Kitahara Tsune was able to use a power similar to Admiral Zephyr's Black Arm.

But just like before—

Before the initial surprise could subside, even more astonishing content was revealed!

Just then, Kitahara Tsune unleashed his final move, and the entire screen suddenly trembled!

Clearly, the Den Den Mushi that had been recording the entire battle was terrified.

In the video, Zephyr coughs lightly and spits out a mouthful of blood.

The entire Marineford was immediately plunged into a deathly silence.
