Pirates' Max Level System

"How could the Navy do this? Countless civilian lives are at stake." Of all the people, Taotu has the most complicated feelings about the Navy. From a former admiral candidate to his current deep disappointment with the Navy, Taotu is gradually coming to understand the true nature of the Navy. There's no justice, only profit.

"Let's put the matter of the Ghost Fleet aside. I've asked the scholars at Ohara to continue their research, and I believe there will be results in a while. Right now, the first thing Fishman Island needs to deal with is the Big Mom Pirates. The navy fleet is returning to the headquarters at full speed, which means that the day of my execution is approaching."

Qin Luo showed a playful smile at the corner of his mouth. The World Government and the Five Elders, those birdmen, can't wait to make "Liuyun" a thing of the past. They must hate me so much.

On the day of the execution, not only will the holy land of Marijoa be bustling with activity, but Fishman Island will also enter a state of war. It is now certain from many sources that the Big Mom Pirates will attack Fishman Island on the day Ryuun's body is beheaded.

"Regarding my plan to invite the Whitebeard Pirates to join our plan, what do you think? Do you have any suggestions?" Qin Luo only stated an idea, and he still needed to ask the others how to cooperate with Whitebeard specifically.

Qin Luo handed this matter over to Tsunade and Itachi, and Qin Luo did not intend to interfere too much.

Tsunade and Itachi fell into deep thought. The Whitebeard Pirates had not been included in their previous plans. With the sudden appearance of such a helper, some things needed to be changed.

"Inviting the Whitebeard Pirates is a good thing. One more helper means more strength. With the Whitebeard Pirates responsible for destroying the other forces allied with the Big Mom Pirates, our pressure will be less. At least the losses to Fishman Island will be much less. I have no objection."

……

Tsunade agreed at first, then paused, then changed the subject and said, "However, this also increases the risk of exposing our plan. We must prepare for the worst. If the Whitebeard Pirates also have plans for Fishman Island, we won't be inviting helpers, but bandits."

Qin Luo nodded. It was just as Tsunade said, that one should not be too confident in the Whitebeard Pirates.

"Itachi, I'll leave the matter of contacting the Whitebeard Pirates to you. I've told Marco from the Whitebeard Pirates that if they have any ideas, they will contact Fisher Tiger. Then you can see what the Whitebeard Pirates are planning."

After thinking about it, Qin Luo finally felt that it would be better for Itachi, who had worked in the Anbu, to contact the Whitebeard Pirates. Although Tsunade also had this ability, she was ultimately a medical ninja, and her professional background was not suitable.

"Leave it to me, I know what to do." After being pointed out by Qin Luo, Itachi, who had been silent, stood up.

"What about me? Give me some tasks too, boss. I have strong business skills. Fisher is my little brother. I have the final say in Fishman Street now." Feiduan, who was unwilling to be lonely, said arrogantly.

"Well, the security of Fishman Street is left to you. You've done a great job." As for Feiduan, Qin Luo said that it would be fine as long as he didn't make trouble.

Chapter 474: The Calm Before the Storm

In the days that followed, Qin Luo stayed in Fishman Island, mainly to work with Tsunade and others to perfect the plan to deal with the joint forces such as the Big Mom Pirates.

Perhaps he felt that even without Liuyun, Fishman Island with Itachi, Tsunade, Hidan and others would still be a tough nut to crack.

Now, in that united force, there is not only the Big Mom Pirates, but also various underground forces and pirates of all sizes in the New World have participated, wanting to get a piece of the pie in this feast.

Fishman Island is about to become the most prosperous port city on the Grand Line, especially since this island will be controlled by the pirates. All forces are getting nervous.

There is both good news and bad news for Fishman Island during this period.

The bad news is that Kaido's Beasts Pirates have also joined Big Mom's coalition forces.

The good news was confirmed by Itachi, the Whitebeard Pirates had joined the plan and were a trustworthy ally. This also meant that Fishman Island was about to face a battle between three of the future Four Emperors.

As time approaches, the naval fleet returning at full speed is about to arrive at the holy land of Mary Geoise.

Fishman Island, the Sabaody Archipelago, and the Holy Land of Marijoa were all very close to each other, and countless forces had gathered there. Whether invited to witness the execution of Liuyun's corpse or preparing to participate in the attack and defense of Fishman Island, ships appeared in the ports of Fishman Island and the Sabaody Archipelago, and many more appeared in the nearby sea.

"Look, Fishman Island has become more prosperous recently." Qin Luo said, standing on a high tower in Ryugu City, looking at the bustling city and busy port below.

In the past few days, although the number of people coming to Fishman Island has continued to increase dramatically, the public security has improved instead. Those who deliberately caused trouble before have also disappeared. Is their true intention going to be revealed?

"It's just the calm before the storm. I wonder how many of these merchant ships docked in the port are actually converted from pirate ships and warships." Tsunade's faint voice came from behind Qin Luo.

"Haha." Qin Luo smiled awkwardly at Tsunade's cold water, and then said leisurely: "Are you all ready?"

"Ah."

Tsunade's answer was very concise with just one word, but after thinking for a moment, she added, "News came from Itachi that the Whitebeard Pirates have arrived, and Whitebeard has no problem with our arrangements."

Tsunade actually had one more thing she wanted to confirm, but she swallowed the words back before she could say them.

"Very good, leave that to Itachi and let him make his own decision. Just say whatever you want to say, no need to hide it." Even if she didn't turn around, Qin Luo could tell that Tsunade was hesitant.

"That technique, if you can really release it again, will it cost you a lot?" Tsunade didn't disbelieve in Qin Luo's ability, but as far as she knew, the people who cast that technique didn't end up well. That technique was released with one's life.

"Jutsu, which jutsu?" Qin Luo was puzzled for a moment, but he immediately knew what Tsunade was referring to. The Samsara Naturalization Jutsu, a technique that in Naruto's world is released at the cost of the life of the Rinnegan owner, can bring back the recently deceased.

This technique was the foundation of all the plans Tsunade and the others had devised. To ensure that Fishman Island could withstand the attacks of so many forces, the plan had to be ruthless. The Samsara Technique ensured that the fishmen and mermen would not be exterminated by this plan.

"You mean the Samsara Technique? Don't worry, the cooldown for this technique was already set a few days ago, otherwise I wouldn't have brought it up. Besides, haven't I already used this technique once? You were there too, didn't you think I was struggling? Don't worry, it does cost me something to use this technique, but it's very small and can be ignored."

Qin Luo comforted Tsunade, but in his heart he was thinking: the price, does a year of cooldown count? After all, a year is indeed a long time. If it weren't for the chatterbox Feidan accidentally mentioning Nagato when discussing the plan, Qin Luo would have forgotten about this skill that Qin Luo had thrown into the corner because it was on cooldown for a long time.

While browsing his skill list, Qin Luo also came across a very practical yet annoying skill. Kotoamatsukami, the most powerful illusion possessed by Uchiha Shisui's Mangekyō Sharingan. This god-level skill, boasting a mere one-month cooldown, had not been used since it was used against Hikari Taikyo, one of the Five Elders.

Counting the time, it's been almost a year and a half, but the skill cooldown is stuck at 99% and won't work anymore. Yes, this is just like some learning materials from other countries, which get stuck at the last moment and become useless...

Qin Luo hadn't felt this kind of desire for masturbation in a long time. This was a loophole, a naked loophole. System, I demand compensation.

Compensation is non-existent because this is not a loophole but a hidden spending pattern.

The system told Qin Luo that the Bie Tian Shen cooldown period couldn't be fully turned because the system version of Bie Tian Shen could only control one person. If he wanted to use it again, he could kill the previous person or spend points to buy a new one.

As soon as Qin Luo learned the number of points required for the new quota, he gave up the idea of ​​purchasing it. With that number of points, he could just awaken his new ability. But the other path was also blocked. Guang Taiqiang, as one of the Five Elders, could be resurrected after death. To kill him, one would have to pay 100,000 points.

So Qin Luo entered a vicious cycle called poverty, and Bie Tianshen became a decoration.

As expected, you can become stronger as long as you recharge. How real is this Ma system.

At the same time, the joint forces attacking Fishman Island, the World Government and the Navy, are also making final preparations for tomorrow's operation.

"Tsk tsk tsk, the Red Earl didn't come but sent a little devil. I've never heard that the Red Earl has any men." Moonlight Moriah, after being seriously injured by Qin Luo, he managed to survive with just one breath. Qin Luo hadn't heard from Moonlight Moriah before, and he thought he was dead.

"The Red Earl couldn't come due to something, so he entrusted us to come. Let me introduce myself, my name is Donquixote Doflamingo, the patriarch of the Donquixote family, and the Red Earl's current partner." The one who came in place of the Red Earl was Doflamingo.

Doflamingo said this with an exaggerated smile, giving off an indescribable sense of evil.

"Moria, I have confirmed Doflamingo's identity. Do you have any doubts?" The speaker was Kaido, the Beast.

As Kaido spoke, everyone's gaze shifted to him. Kaido wasn't a warm-hearted person; this could only mean that he and Doflamingo had reached some kind of deal. Everyone couldn't help but glance at Doflamingo.

Chapter 475: Execution

The sky was clear and the sun was shining. The gentle sea breeze fluttered the flags, and from time to time, a few salutes streaked across the sky, creating a celebratory atmosphere.

One by one, the navy ships arrived at the port near the Holy Land of Marijoa and lined up in order. All the ships were decorated with flowers and ribbons.

Yes, as long as the World Government people are willing, there is no problem in turning the execution into a banquet, even though it is already not much different from a celebration.

The entire execution ceremony will be carried out as a celebration, with speeches, programs, and a banquet after the execution is completed.

The newly built holy land of Mary Geoise unveiled its secrets for the first time, inviting guests from all corners of the globe to participate in today's grand ceremony. Royal families, chaebols, and leaders of prominent organizations and forces were among the invited guests, creating a sense of international acclaim.

This kind of grand occasion cannot even be compared with the world conference held every four years.

Half an hour before the execution ceremony began, the invited guests arrived at the holy land of Mary Joa.

"Father, why did the World Government and the Navy hold an execution ceremony for a dead person? And why did they have to make it so grand, even a little..."

The two were a father and son. To be invited here was no ordinary person; at the very least, they had to be the king of a small country. The younger man, probably in his twenties, asked his father, and at the end he was a little lost for words, unable to find the right words to describe his feelings.

"Cobra, don't you think this execution ceremony is grand, but it seems frivolous and not serious enough?" The man's father was a gray-haired, hunched old man. He held a scepter in his hand and spoke in a kind voice.

"Yes, father." The man looked much calmer after hearing his father's voice.

"Then you're wrong. Executing Liuyun's corpse is just a bonus. Perhaps the World Government really hates Liuyun, but as a mature politician, every decision he makes is for profit, not to vent his emotions. The real protagonists of this execution ceremony are the World Government and us who were invited."

It's very tragic. According to the old man, Liuyun, who was executed, couldn't even become the protagonist.

"You mean, the World Government's move is intended to intimidate us invited guests," the man said uncertainly.

"Almost, but not entirely. See those media reporters over there? Do you think they're worthy of an invitation? So all these media outlets, armed with cameras and guns, were invited by the World Government. The World Government and the Navy want to harness the power of the media and restore the prestige they lost at the hands of Liuyun. Their goal has always been the entire world. If they achieve their goal, they wouldn't even have a problem calling a horse a zebra, let alone executing a corpse."

The man gasped. He had never imagined that such a deliberate scheme lay behind the grand execution ceremony. He had previously thought the World Government was crazy. But not only was it not crazy, it also made those who thought it was crazy look fools.

"Cobra, you must remember that although our Nefertari family has not moved into the Holy Land, we must grasp the minds of those guys in the Holy Land. This world is not one you can just sit back and relax in. The power of the Navy and the World Government is extremely strong."

The man named Cobra and the name of the Nefertari family, there is no doubt that this father and son are the rulers of the Alabasta Kingdom and members of the Nefertari clan.

At this time, the young Nefertari Cobra had ascended to the throne of king, but he was too immature and needed the old king's guidance on many things. The old king also seized every opportunity to educate his son.

"Yes, father." When she was young, Nefertari Cobra still had the vigor and firepower unique to her age, unlike the bitter and vengeful look she showed more than 20 years later.

As the father and son chatted, it was time to begin the ceremony. Neferutali and his son were led by waiters to the edge of the square where the ceremony was to take place.

The Nefertari clan was one of the twenty royal families that founded the World Government eight hundred years ago. Although they did not move into the Holy Land, as the rulers of the Kingdom of Alabasta, they have long guarded the ancient weapon "Pluto".

Therefore, the status of Nefertari and his son is very high, and their seats in the stands are right next to the Celestial Dragons.

With his father's advice, Cobra already understood the intentions of the Navy and the World Government. With a twitch, the speech of the Five Elders became dull. Cobra pretended to listen, but in fact, his attention was focused on the execution platform in the center of the square.

This was a stone execution platform, infinitely superior to the wooden one Roger had used in Rogue Town. Two rows of executioners, dressed in their finery, stood on the platform, and everything was done with the utmost solemnity.

The body on the stone platform must be Liuyun's, but it is said to be completely unrecognizable, even the limbs are missing. But even so, Cobra is still very curious about what the body of a dead god looks like.

The mysterious man, Flowing Cloud God, left a deep impression on Cobra.

Cobra, who had been gazing at Liuyun's corpse in ecstasy, was suddenly startled. He had just seen the body move. Panicked, Cobra glanced around and at the executioner on the scaffold, but found nothing unusual. Could it be his hallucination?

This must be the case, Cobra consoled himself and let the matter go.

Soon the Five Elders' speeches concluded, and the execution ceremony finally reached its climax. Following the Five Elders' orders, the executioner on the scaffold flipped the guillotine, and the seastone-made guillotine blade appeared above Liuyun's head.

No one would doubt that when the guillotine's blade fell, Liuyun's body underneath would be cut in half cleanly.

Everyone was staring at the guillotine. Just as the Five Elders had said, with this strike, an era would pass and a new era would begin, an era belonging to the World Government and the Navy, not an era of great pirates.

So, in full view of everyone, the sea-tower stone blade that represented the era fell down and chopped off Liuyun's body.

But the next scene was so bizarre that it moved Newton to tears and Galileo to violence. The fallen seastone blade bounced back up.

Yes, you read that right, the edge of the seastone knife bounced back, and Liuyun's body was intact.

The entire square was buzzing with discussion, and many people looked at the Five Elders with strange eyes, as if they were watching a joke. They really wanted to know how the Five Elders would end this farce.

Chapter 476: "Resurrection"

In the stands, the faces of the Five Elders were so gloomy that it seemed as if water could be squeezed out of them.

The one with the beige beard and hair among the Five Elders turned and looked at a government official nearby. "I think you need to give us an explanation as to why this happened."

The official being questioned was the one who was fully responsible for the execution ceremony, and beads of sweat kept coming out of his head.

Before, he thought that his ancestors must have been very lucky to be able to take on this task amidst the envy of his colleagues.

The ceremony went smoothly, and at least until the execution began, the Five Elders were satisfied with everything. But the moment the blade was drawn, their dreams of promotion and wealth were shattered, and they might even lose their lives.

No, it will definitely be like this. If they can't handle this properly, the World Government will definitely push him out and say he's an undercover agent of the Liuyun Pirates to save some face.

"Master Five Elders, I don't know either. The guillotines are made of the finest steel combined with seastone. We dare not cut any corners. It's really not my fault."

After much thought, the official still couldn't figure out why this had happened. Finally, he almost cried as he explained to the Five Elders: What could he do? He was also desperate.

"If it's not your fault, then it's mine, you piece of trash." The old man with beige hair and beard started cursing in anger.

The official wanted to make excuses, but the Five Elders would not give him another chance.

"Go down and explain to the CP0 people." The official's legs went weak and he collapsed to the ground. He was finished.

"That bastard Liuyun couldn't even let me rest in peace after his death. Ganggukong, you personally went to execute that corpse. That would be considered giving Liuyun enough face."

After the initial panic, the scarred old man among the Five Elders calmed down, threw a famous sword to the Navy Marshal Kong Gukong, and sent him to carry out the execution.

"I will definitely live up to your trust." With a complex expression, Gang Gukong accepted the famous sword thrown by the Five Elders. He was actually reluctant to accept this mission. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that there was something strange about Liuyun's corpse. But the scarred old man had spoken, and he couldn't openly refuse.

Since that's the case, he can only try his best to chop off Liuyun's head. Otherwise, in front of so many heads of countries and forces, he, a dignified naval marshal, will become a laughing stock of the whole world.

The knife was a fine one, a twenty-first-grade sharp sword. As Gang Gukong drew it out, the crisp sound of the knife quieted the noisy square.

Black Armament Haki aura rose from the blade, quickly enveloping it. Aiming at Liuyun's corpse's head, Gang Gukong began to gather strength, determined to ensure that this strike would sever Liuyun's body in two, even if it meant shattering the entire execution platform.

"Die!" Gang Gukong shouted, and the knife he held with both hands slashed down quickly, like black lightning. As the long knife swung out, sharp blade energy cut through the sky and spread in the direction of the slash.

A long crack was plowed across the bottom of the square, stopping only at the edge of the stands. This was caused by the sheer force of the sword, without any swordplay, clearly showing that Gang Gukong had used all his strength in this strike.

But can this be a reason for the knife to break?

Yes, when the knife touched Liuyun's body, there was a crisp sound. Liuyun's body was intact, and the large sharp sword, the Twenty-One Work, began to shatter bit by bit from the blade, along with the domineering aura attached to it, shattering like glass.

The flow of time slowed down at this moment. The entire square was silent, and the only sounds left were the sound of knife fragments falling on the execution platform and the sound of people swallowing saliva.

In this silence, a strange voice rang out: "I said, can't you wake me up in a gentler way? To be honest, it still hurts."

"Who is it? Who is talking?" Both Gang Gukong and the people in the stands were murmuring like this.

In order to answer their doubts, Qin Luo, no, now it was still Liuyun's corpse, slowly floated up from the ground.

"Playing tricks." Ganggu Kongbao shouted, and punched Liuyun's body with his domineering fist, but was immediately stopped by a black protective shield that suddenly appeared.
