Both start in hell: but their talents are multiplied a hundredfold.

Shen Jue finally managed to free one hand from Bai Xing's embrace and patted her arm.

"Shirahoshi, put me down."

His voice was muffled because his face was still pressed against Bai Xing's chest.

"I won't let go!"

Bai Xing acted out of the blue for once, hugging him even tighter.

Shen Jue could smell the ocean.

"It took me so long to finally see Brother Shen Jue."

"It's been several days since you left Fishman Island last time!"

"My father said I shouldn't keep bothering you with Den Den Mushi, but I just can't help it!"

Shen Jue took a deep breath, inhaling the scent of seawater from Bai Xing's clothes and the warm fragrance emanating from her body heat.

"If you don't let go, I'll scream my lungs out."

Bai Xing was amused by Shen Jue, and she reluctantly relaxed a little.

But he still held Shen Jue in his hands and didn't put him on the ground.

She lifted Shen Jue up in front of her and made him look into her eyes.

In those deep blue eyes, tears and joy mingled together, shining with an astonishing brilliance.

"Brother Shen Jue has lost weight," she said earnestly, her voice full of concern.

Shen Jue sat on her enormous palm, looked up at the exquisite face so close to her, and felt a sense of helplessness.

He had just torn apart Kaido, the strongest creature in the One Piece world, when Shirahoshi said that Shen Jue had lost weight.

The new naval officers around them couldn't hold back any longer.

"What's with this motherly feeling?" the new naval soldiers whispered among themselves.

"Princess Shirahoshi is so big, yet she behaves like a little girl mother."

"Brother Shen Jue is so lucky."

The setting sun shone from behind Bai Xing, gilding her long pink hair with a golden edge, and her eyes held a concern that the entire ocean could not contain.

Shen Jue sighed and reached out to flick the tip of her nose.

Bai Xing winced in pain, but instead of flinching, she grinned.

"I'm fine," Shen Jue said. "Kaido is dead, and Wano Country has been liberated."

"I know!" Bai Xing nodded vigorously.

"We received the news as the fleet approached, and the entire fleet cheered!"

"They say Marshal Shen Jue single-handedly tore the Beasts Pirates apart."

"They say a new era belonging to the sea is about to begin!"

As she spoke, her voice lowered, but the light in her eyes shone even brighter.

"Fish people can also live freely on land."

"That's what General Kuzan told me."

Bai Xing hugged Shen Jue back into her arms, this time not so tightly, just gently pressing against him, as if confirming his presence.

"Brother Shen Jue, please make sure you stay safe."

"Without you, this sea would be too miserable."

Her heartbeat, transmitted through the thin sailor uniform, was steady and powerful, one beat at a time.

Shen Jue remained silent for a few seconds, without struggling.

He raised his hand and patted Bai Xing's arm lightly.

"Thanks, Shirahoshi."

As the wind blows through the harbor, the crimson stain of dragon's blood on the sea surface is slowly fading, being replaced by a normal deep blue.

The new navy's fleet began landing in sequence.

The new naval soldiers on board began deploying for the landing operation.

Bai Xing finally put Shen Jue back on the ground.

Her fishtail made it difficult for her to move around on land, but she didn't care at all. She sat down next to Shen Jue, her tail lying horizontally on the ground, her skirt spreading out like a blue flower.

She bent down and brought her face close to Shen Jue's, so close that the tip of her nose almost touched his forehead.

"What's next?" she asked, her voice full of anticipation.

"What are you going to do next, Brother Shen Jue? Can I come with you?"

Shen Jue glanced at her.

"Next, we have to deal with the Big Mom Pirates, which will be very dangerous."

"I'm not afraid!" Shirahoshi immediately straightened her back.

"I'm a full member of the new Navy! Look at my uniform!"

"Furthermore, my father told me to study hard under Brother Shen Jue!"

Her eyes were bright and sparkling, filled with a stubborn determination to "not get rid of me."

Shen Jue couldn't help but laugh when he saw her like this.

In the world of One Piece, even ordinary fish-men have a grip strength ten times that of ordinary people.

As the princess of Fishman Island, the reincarnation of the Sea King, and the giant mermaid Princess Shirahoshi, her physique and talent were already extremely strong.

After King Neptune made up his mind to follow Shen Jue, a large number of fishmen joined the new navy.

Even the seemingly delicate and crybaby Princess Shirahoshi was drawn into Shen Jue's hellish, devilish training.

Despite Bai Xing's current clinginess to Shen Jue, she has actually mastered profound dual-color Haki and is now a powerful new Marine with a physique comparable to a strong member of the Giant race.

"Okay," Shen Jue said with a smile.

"Then let's go together."

"Only those who have experienced a real battlefield can survive tenaciously on this vast ocean."

Bai Xing cheered and reached out to hug him again, but Shen Jue stopped her with a look.

"But you're not allowed to pick me up and spin me around like that anymore."

"oh......"

Bai Xing obediently withdrew her hand, but she couldn't hide the smile in her eyes.

She sat down next to Shen Jue, her fishtail fins happily slapping the ground, making a pattering sound.

At this moment, Kizaru came to Shen Jue's side, holding a letter in his hand.

"Marshal Shen Jue~" he said, drawing out his signature long tone.

"The nobles of Wano Country, as well as the retainers of the Kozuki family, have sent letters requesting an audience."

Shen Jue was looking at the afterglow of the setting sun when he spoke without looking up.

"not see."

Kizaru put the letter in his pocket, shook his head and said, "They say the Kozuki family should rightfully inherit the position of Shogun of Wano Country."

"This is the bloodline of Kozuki Oden."

"They also said that the daimyo in various regions want to restore the old feudal system and hope that the new navy can recognize their traditional rule~"

"How terrifying! The wording is very polite, but I think the implication is..."

"You outsiders have finished off Kaido, shouldn't you return our territory to us?"

Shen Jue raised her head.

The temperature at the scene suddenly dropped a few degrees.

Borsalino.

Kizaru put away his nonchalant expression.

When Shen Jue called him by his real name, it meant he wasn't joking.

"Wano Country has been enslaved by Kaido for twenty years, but these nobles and daimyo are waiting for the Kozuki family to return."

Shen Jue's voice was calm, but every word seemed to have been honed on a sharp blade.

"The old order should be corrected."

Shen Jue stood up, the afterglow of the setting sun casting a blood-red glow on half of his face.

"Now that Kaido is dead, they crawl out of their burrows and want to talk to me about tradition and bloodlines?"

Kizaru adjusted his tinted sunglasses, his gaze behind the lenses unusually serious: "So, what does the Fleet Admiral mean?"

"Wano Country is no exception."

Shen Jue's tone was resolute and left no room for argument.

"Every inch of land liberated by the new navy will be governed by the laws of the new navy."

"All privileges of the old nobles and daimyo are hereby abolished."

"Anyone who wants to use a samurai sword to maintain their privileges, or who only accepts the rule of the Kozuki family over Wano Country."

"Let them understand that the new Navy is not here to clean up the mess for the ruling class of Wano Country."

"When Kaido and Kurozumi Orochi ruled Wano Country, they pretended to be deaf and dumb, waiting for the Kozuki family to return."

"Now that I've torn Kaido apart, they're demanding things from me?"

"What? Good people have to be bullied?"

A bloodthirsty smile curled at the corner of Shen Jue's lips.

Benefiting from his experience in rebellion during the Three Kingdoms period and the late Tang Dynasty, Shen Jue was adept at dealing with these staunch feudalist fighters.
