One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral

Over the years, he has worked diligently and conscientiously, fighting pirates all over the New World and experiencing countless life-and-death battles. He has made great contributions to the Navy and was finally promoted to a high-ranking position in the Navy, becoming a Vice Admiral in the Navy Headquarters.

Later, because of his iron-fisted style of hating evil, he was assigned to the G5 base as the base commander.

The real power he now wields is greater than that of some of the veteran vice admirals in the headquarters.

However, Vergo was never satisfied with the status quo.

He wanted to do more for the young master.

The Vice Admiral of this headquarters is already a very high-ranking naval officer, but he still faces significant limitations.

For example, as the commander of G5 base, if he wanted to lead the G5 navy to sea to wipe out the Donquixote family's hostile forces, he would need to contact headquarters, submit a report, and go through multiple approvals from the Naval Staff and the Intelligence Bureau before he would be allowed to launch an attack.

But if he can go further and become the Navy Headquarters' top combat force.

No, becoming the third candidate for general is also acceptable.

If he can become the third Admiral candidate in the Navy Headquarters, his freedom will be greatly enhanced, and he will have the privilege of directly launching a war.

This privilege is a recognition by the Navy Headquarters of powerful naval commanders, and it is a privilege exclusively for admirals and candidates for admiral.

If he can become a candidate for admiral, he can use the navy's strength to clear obstacles in the way of the young master, help the young master go further, and become a sea emperor like Charlotte Linlin and Kaido from the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

Right now, Vergo saw this glimmer of hope in the CP0 member who had fallen from the sky.

As the world government's most powerful intelligence agency, CP0 has an extremely secretive and important identity for every member.

For example, if CP0 hadn't appeared right in front of him, Vergo would never have imagined that the dignified Queen of the Pleasure District, Stussy, would actually be a World Government intelligence agent.

If he could gain a great merit from the World Government through Stussy, plus the powerful Devil Fruit ability that the young master had prepared for him.

Vergo believed that with his strength and seniority in the Navy, he was absolutely capable of competing for the position of the third Admiral candidate, a position that had not been filled in the Navy for many years.

Thinking of this, Vergo waved his hand, signaling Billy, who was standing next to him, to shout at the pirates.

"This is G5 Naval Base. Pirates are strictly prohibited from approaching! You bastards from the Big Mom Pirates, if you don't want to start an unnecessary war, turn around and leave now! Otherwise, we'll open fire!"

Holding a megaphone, Biliqi roared with great force, his loud voice carrying far across the sea ahead.

The pirates on the pirate ship could hear it clearly as well.

"What should we do, Brother Heifat?" Several young Charlotte family members looked at Charlotte Heifat, the oldest member standing in front of them.

Hefart was the 20th son of the Charlotte family, a tall and strong man.

Hearing his brothers' questions, Charlotte Heifat didn't hesitate for a moment. She stood at the bow of the ship and roared, "Navy! Listen to me! I am Charlotte Heifat, a combatant of the Big Mom Pirates. Mother's order is to bring the traitor Stussy back. Now, I order you to hand over that woman Stussy immediately, or you will face Mother's wrath!"

On the naval port, the G5 marines looked at each other in bewilderment as they listened to the arrogant voices coming from the opposite side.

Bilic turned to Vergo and asked, "Lieutenant General, what should we do?"

No wonder he asked that question.

If it were a regular pirate, G5 would have just blasted them away without them even bothering to shout.

But this is the Big Mom Pirates, the crew of Charlotte Linlin, one of the Four Emperors who occupies thirty-five islands in Whole Cake Island, has tens of millions of subjects under her command, and commands a fleet of hundreds of thousands of pirates.

As long as you're in the New World, whoever you are should think twice about the consequences of offending the Big Mom Pirates.

Just as Billy was wondering if Vergo would choose to compromise, he saw Vergo slam his hand down hard and utter cold words.

"The Big Mom Pirates? Hmph! This is a naval base that symbolizes justice! Behind us are countless innocent civilians protecting this sea! You think you can make us hand over our wounded innocents with just a few words? You're dreaming! We've given you a chance, but since you're so stubborn, then die! Fire! Sink them!"

The powerful voice that came from Vergo's mouth instantly ignited the excitement of the marines standing on the naval port.

"So cool! Lieutenant General Vergo!"

"Take them down! The Four Emperors are nothing! We are the world's strongest force of justice, the Navy!"

"Bombard! Bombard!"

The deafening roar of cannon fire was directed at the six pirate ships on the distant sea.

Vergo's lips gradually curled up into a smile.

Four Emperors?

Oh.

If he were a member of the Don Quixote family, he would immediately admit defeat and turn around and leave.

But now he's in the Navy, the commander of G5 base. If the sky falls, a Navy admiral will hold it up. What's there to be afraid of?

Chapter 377 The Demise of G5

Three days later, at G5 base, in the lieutenant general's office.

Pushing aside a hidden wall in the office, Vergo stepped into the dark passageway, took out a Den Den Mushi (snail phone) with a special communication band from his pocket, and dialed the number.

The Den Den Mushi rang a few times in the dark, soundproof room before being answered by a familiar voice.

"Fufufufu, Vergo, is something wrong?"

Upon hearing the voice coming from the Den Den Mushi, Vergo's face immediately showed an extremely respectful expression, and he said in a deep voice:

“Young Master, I’ve encountered a CP0 agent planted by the World Government in the New World. She’s being hunted by the Big Mom Pirates. I’d like to ask for your opinion on how to leverage this connection to help me advance further and gain more power within the Navy.”

"Fuck, interesting. CP0 being chased by Big Mom's crew? Who is she?" Doflamingo's interest was instantly piqued.

"It's Queen Stussy of Pleasure Street. Before she fell into a coma, she was holding her CP0 identity card, which symbolizes her status. There's no mistake about it."

"It's Stussy? Hmph, this is getting more and more interesting. The World Government has planted a brilliant plan, and we didn't even know about it. Have you found out why she's being hunted by the Big Mom Pirates?" Doflamingo asked.

Vergo shook his head. "Not yet, the woman is still unconscious."

Doflamingo pondered for a moment, then nodded and said:

"Okay, I understand. Try to find out from her as soon as possible why she's being hunted down."

As for using her connection to help you advance further, there is indeed a slight chance.

The World Government's CP0 possesses a wealth of resources and intelligence that even we are unaware of. If you can strengthen your connection with the Five Elders through Stussy, you still have a chance to be promoted to Admiral candidate.

"Fufufu, as you know, although the Navy is a subordinate agency of the World Government, it doesn't work entirely for them. Therefore, the Five Elders always need a few capable and loyal dogs to do their bidding."

"In short, find out from her why you're being hunted, then contact me. I'll devise a perfect plan to help you rise through the ranks in the Navy. Fufufu, no one understands those five old men better than me. The Navy, pirates? They're just tools for those in power to maintain a balance."

Vergo nodded repeatedly at Doflamingo's words.

As expected of the young master, he is indeed the wisest person in the world. His brief analysis enlightened Vergo.

After a pause, Vergo asked in an even more respectful tone, "Young Master, is there anything else you would like to say?"

Doflamingo was silent for a moment on the other end of the Den Den Mushi before saying in a deep voice, "Vergo, I want you to keep an eye on that Rear Admiral Rorschach. If you have the chance, send me all the intelligence you can gather about him."

“Rorschach?” Vergo frowned slightly, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes. “Is that the navy brat who killed Gladius and Machbis and ruined many of our Don Quixote family’s businesses? I know. When he enters the New World, I will make him know the consequences of offending our Don Quixote family.”

"No." Doflamingo warned, unusually, "Don't touch him. That kid's strength may have grown to a rather troublesome level. You may not be his match. Just gather information on him, and I'll handle the rest."

Although Vergo was somewhat unwilling, he would never disobey his young master's order, and immediately nodded solemnly in agreement.

He then planned to hang up the Den Den Mushi.

But just then, the ground beneath his feet suddenly began to shake violently, and the dark room cracked open with several fissures amidst the violent tremors, allowing blinding sunlight to stream in from the outside.

Doflamingo, on the other end of the Den Den Mushi, also heard the loud noise and was about to ask Vergo what had happened.

The two people on the phone simultaneously heard a deafening bang that shook the heavens and the earth.

Then came a violent shockwave, sweeping in from afar like a tidal wave, and slamming into Vergo, who was holding the Den Den Mushi.

"Cough!"

Vergo felt a sharp pain in his chest, blood spurted from his mouth, and he crashed through the thick wall and flew out, the Den Den Mushi flying out of his hand and rolling into the dust.

Doflamingo's voice was still ringing through the Den Den Mushi, but Vergo, who had rolled over and sat up from the ground, seemed not to hear it. His eyes were filled with disbelief as he looked at the massive figure slowly rising from the billowing dust on the shattered plaza of G5 Island.

"Mommy, Mommy, you Navy trash have some nerve! You even dared to kill my son! Shiki was absolutely right, the New World belongs only to pirates. From this moment on, I will expel every single Navy member from the New World!"

Standing at 8.8 meters tall, with a bulky figure resembling a moving mountain of flesh, wearing a pink floral dress, and carrying a small floral umbrella in her large, thick hands, the fat woman stepped out from the swirling dust under the horrified gazes of the G5 branch naval soldiers.

Vergo's pupils behind his sunglasses trembled violently, and his entire face was distorted with shock.

"Big Mom!!"

"It's...it's one of the Four Emperors, Charlotte Linlin!"

Commodore Billy and other naval officers were also terrified when Charlotte Linlin, who fell from the sky to the center of the island and smashed half of the base, left them pale and almost unable to hold their weapons.

Charlotte Linlin grinned, revealing a gaping maw and glaring with crimson eyes at the horrified Marines. A ferocious smile spread across her large face as she opened her two thick arms.

A raging ball of fire with a human face and a swirling, inky black cloud rose simultaneously from above Charlotte Linlin's head, instantly expanding into a fire cloud and thundercloud with a diameter of over a hundred meters, exuding a soul-shaking aura of destruction.

"Give your souls and your lifespans to your mother."

On the left, the fiery cloud spirit Homie Prometheus opened his mouth as if to sing.

"Fear, despair, and finally, die! This time, there will be no mercy, no hope, and no future!"

The thundercloud soul Homie Zeus on the right has a ferocious face, with silver lightning rolling across its dark body.

Before the terrified marines could react, a terrifying energy storm erupted from Charlotte Linlin's bloated body, and bolts of black and red lightning tore through the sky and earth, spreading across the sky above G5 Island. Her top-tier Conqueror's Haki was released in an instant, sweeping across all directions.

"Life and death!!"

Charlotte Linlin, the supreme ruler of the sea, unleashed her Conqueror's Haki like a storm sweeping across the land. Wherever it passed, the naval warriors on the island were stunned and instantly collapsed, lying haphazardly all over the base.

Less than 30% are still able to stand.

These are all those who are relatively far away, or those who are outstanding naval officers like Billy.

"Damn it! Attack! Attack!"

As Charlotte Linlin, with her devilishly large hand outstretched, swatted away a dozen or so stunned naval officers like flies, Billy let out a hoarse shout and raised his flintlock pistol.

Bang bang bang!

A hail of bullets rained down on Charlotte Linlin like a storm.

Her enormous body made her a perfect target; there was no need to aim carefully to hit her.

It wasn't just flintlock bullets; naval soldiers also fired rocket launchers and artillery.

For a time, the roar of artillery shells filled the base.

However, a terrifying scene unfolded that plunged the entire navy into an icy abyss.
