It started from eating the Houkai Fruit in the Pirate World

The Golden Lion, who was at his peak 20 years ago, was barely suppressed by himself and Garp. He was responsible for the main attack, while Garp assisted from the side.

However, the combination of Zephyr and Garp is destined to have only Garp as the main attacker and Zephyr as the support. Garp's strength is just so-so. With his strength, he is unable to cope with the main attack of the Golden Lion, and Zephyr is also unable to serve as a support.

This was not twenty years ago. Zephyr's combat power has declined too seriously. This battle is at best a joint effort of an admiral and one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. It is too weak to face the Golden Lion in his peak state.

"Garp and I fought the Golden Lion to the death, and then..."

"You guys tied?"

"No, we lost, and lost miserably. We were almost crushed by the Golden Lion. In addition, the Golden Lion Mouzi coated his knife with poison when he faced us. We only survived because of the ability of Iin's Retrograde Fruit."

"Ion's Retrograde Fruit? Her ability can restore both of you to your peak form?"

"It should be said that it has brought us back to the age we were 12 years ago."

"Twelve years ago, the two of you were... no, that's not right. Even if you were in your current state twelve years ago, it would be difficult for you to survive the hands of a peak Golden Lion."

"Indeed, we lost again, but at this time, Yulandel, who I had sent to capture the deserter Coby, returned."

"Deserter Coby? Why does this name sound familiar?"

"Cough cough cough..." When talking about Coby, Garp, who was eating senbei, started coughing. Then Sengoku remembered this Coby and who had said it in his ear.

If he remembered correctly, Garp seemed to have said that Coby was the future of the Navy, but now the future of the Navy has become a deserter. Doesn't this mean that the Navy is doomed?

"Well, anyway, that deserter isn't very important. What's important is what happened afterwards."

Zefa and Zhan Guo both tacitly agreed not to continue talking about Coby, which more or less saved some face for this old friend.

"continue."

"When we saw Yulandel and her navy approaching, we originally planned to let her take the soldiers away. After all, the situation was already hopeless, and minimizing the losses as much as possible was the best outcome."

"But Yulandel's strength was beyond our expectations. Even though the Golden Lion's combat power far surpassed Garp and me, when facing Yulandel, a mere clash of Domineering Haki sent the Golden Lion flying backwards."

"what?"

Zhan Guo was confused, and then Zefa nodded.

"That's right. When we saw the Golden Lion being knocked back by Yulandel, Garp and I had similar expressions to yours now."

"Is this... is the Golden Lion's medicine wearing off?"

Zefa shook his head. "If the Golden Lion's potion has worn off, given his physical condition, he shouldn't be able to unleash an attack of the level of Conqueror's Haki Entanglement."

"And then, after Golden Lion was sure he couldn't beat Yulandel, he injected himself with the potion again. Although Garp and I weren't in good shape at the time, we still had our sights set."

"Garp and I can confirm that the Golden Lion at that time was far stronger than the Golden Lion at its peak."

"Then you are..." Zhan Guo said, and suddenly remembered the leave application that Kizaru had handed him not long ago. The reason was that he was seriously injured when facing Golden Lion and Big Mom and needed to rest.

At that time, he didn't believe it and directly rejected Kizaru's application for leave. He didn't even let him write the mission report this time, but waited for Zephyr and Garp to recover from their injuries for a few days.

Now looking at the Golden Lion’s outburst and Kizaru’s report that he was seriously injured, I’m afraid that this time Kizaru is not being lazy, but is really injured.

Thinking of this, Sengoku even felt a little guilty towards Kizaru. As a marshal, he actually did not trust the generals under his command. It was really wrong of him.

"Nothing much. It's just that when the suddenly stronger Golden Lion faced Yulandel, the clash of their dominance ended in the same way. The Golden Lion still couldn't defeat Yulandel and was knocked away once again."

Warring States: "..."

So what does this have to do with Kizaru's injury? How did he have the nerve to ask for injury leave?

"Then there was Youlan's battle against the Golden Lion. Youlan Daier was in a crushing position almost the entire time, but there was a small problem in the middle, which prevented Youlan Daier from successfully killing the Golden Lion."

"Problem? Auntie is here?"

"No, that question..." Zefa glanced at Garp. "Anyway, don't ask any specific questions."

Zhan Guo nodded. This wise general understood what Zephyr meant. The problem must be with Garp's disciple. Given the relationship between the two, it was destined that no one would be held accountable for this matter.

On the contrary, he had to find a way to polish the report and distance himself from Karp as much as possible.

"The next thing is not difficult to imagine. With the Golden Lion's Floating Fruit, even if facing an enemy stronger than him, it is not easy to kill him."

"After the Golden Lion realized he couldn't defeat Youlan Daier, he missed the best opportunity to kill him. Even if Youlan Daier was stronger than the Golden Lion at that time, he still couldn't catch him."

"Then, while the Golden Lion was dodging, Auntie came."

"And Kizaru also happened to arrive, so he did have some credit."

"No, Kizaru came later. He came quite a while after Big Mom arrived."

"What? He still has the nerve to... Wait, what did you say? If Kizaru arrives a little later, then who will face Golden Lion and Big Mom then..."

Zefa nodded. "Yes, Yulandel faces the Golden Lion and Big Mom alone."

Zhan Guo was shocked for a moment, followed by ecstasy.

After being suppressed by Kiana for so long, the Navy finally has its own Kiana.

260 Gray Snake, Feathered Rabbit, is this the Navy or the World Snake?

"Can Youlan Daier face Big Mom and Golden Lion alone without losing?"

Sengoku asked anxiously. Zephyr and Garp could clearly feel the excitement from Sengoku's aura at this moment.

That was because of the long-term lack of strength, so that the Marine Headquarters had to be abandoned by the Warring States, and now there is the excitement of having the possibility of returning to the Marine Headquarters again.

"To be precise, it should be that Yulandel held on to the navy ship with one hand to prevent it from falling rapidly. In this state, Yulandel can still face the Golden Lion and Big Mom on her own."

"Even in a restricted state, he can face two Yonkoku alone without losing. In this case, can we recapture the Marine Headquarters?"

Sengoku looked at Garp, who had fought with Whitebeard, Golden Lion, Big Mom and Kiana, and had seen the strength of Yulandel. He also had the vision to see the strengths and weaknesses of the top powerhouses.

Garp rarely put away the senbei, thinking about Yulandel's strength and then thinking about Kiana's strength.

"No, I don't know."

"Judging from the strength Kiana displayed when I fought her, she wouldn't be a match for Yulandel when she fought the Golden Lion, but at that time, she couldn't have defeated two Sea Emperors alone."

"Her strength was still at a manageable stage when she fought me, Sakaski, and Borsalino."

"Something must have happened between defeating Kaido and overpowering Big Mom and Whitebeard. During that time, Kiana's strength skyrocketed. That's probably what happened."

Garp said this while picking his nose, and then he picked up the senbei and ate it silently, with no intention of leaving any for Sengoku.

Garp finished speaking, and Zephyr nodded. "I'm still not sure how much of a difference there is between Yulandel and Kiana's strength, but no matter what, the admiral position that was previously vacant can now be filled."

"The vacant general."

"What's wrong, Sengoku? Is there any problem?" After finishing his senbei, Garp started eating Sengoku's potato chips.

Zhan Guo took off his glasses and wiped them.

"Zeffa should also know about this. In addition to Yulandel, there is also someone named Alemaki who has been active in the navy recently. He has the ability to eat the nature-type fruit, the Sensen fruit."

"The power of the Nature type is obvious to all, and the Sen Sen Fruit can also absorb the enemy's energy. Therefore, Alemaki has made considerable military achievements during this period, and his strength has surpassed Taotu and Chatun."

"He has now become a vice-admiral of the navy, codenamed Green Bull. His strength and military achievements are very guaranteed, and the World Government is also very satisfied with him. The admiral position is almost predetermined for him, so..."

Before Zhan Guo could finish, Zefa interrupted him with a wave of his hand.

"That's easy. Tell him that to become a Navy Admiral one must have the strength to withstand anything. Let him fight Yulandel. He can't beat Yulandel anyway."

"As for the World Government, once everything is finalized and the newspaper is published, it will be impossible for them to change anyone else to the position of Admiral."

"That's true, but we already disobeyed the World Government's orders a few months ago, preventing them from finding us. It's not good to act without prior approval in such a short period of time."

"If you don't want to talk, ask Garp to do it."

"Ah? Me?" Karp pointed at himself, not knowing why he ended up eating the melon on his head.

"Of course, apart from you, none of us have saved many Celestial Dragons, and only you can have some face in front of those Celestial Dragons."

"Okay, it's settled."

Zhan Guo slammed the table and decided the matter without caring whether Karp agreed or not. He then asked the messenger to tell Yulandel about it.

…………

While sailing in Yulandel, a messenger from the Warring States Period sent a Den Den Mushi over.

"Vice Admiral Yulandel, in view of the strength you demonstrated against the Golden Lion and the Four Emperors BIGMOM, as well as the military achievements you have received, Marshal Sengoku has decided to promote you to the rank of Vice Admiral."

"Commander-in-Chief Green Bull Almaji will meet with you shortly. The new Admiral will be chosen between you and Almaji."

"Also, since the Admirals and Vice Admirals are all combinations of colors and animals, please prepare a code name that combines colors and animals as soon as possible. I will submit it and it will become your external code name."

“Colors and animals…”

Yulandel thought about it and thought that if it was an animal, it could be a goose, and the color...

If it is dull, it will have no color on the surface, but in a sense, it can have color for Honkai Impact 3rd players.

What is stupidity? Wisdom.

What is wisdom? Theresa.

What is Theresa? White, or rather, white with a picture.

So "dai" equals wisdom, equals Theresa, equals white. If Yulandel is called "dai goose", it is acceptable, but it feels weird.

"Let's talk about the code name later. Let me think about it."

"Yes, Lieutenant General Yulandel."

The messenger on the other side saluted and hung up the phone again, and then cheers broke out on Yulandel's ship.

"Lieutenant General Youlandel is going to be promoted to general?"

"Then won't we become the general's direct subordinates in the future?"

"Hurray! From now on, I will be a marine under the Admiral!"

The sailors chatted with each other. For a sailor, being a soldier in the headquarters was an honor, being a sailor under the command of a vice admiral was an even greater honor, and as for being a sailor under the command of an admiral...

That is something that more than 95% of the navy dare not even think about.

And now that Yulandel is about to be promoted to admiral, how can the many navy officers not be excited.

Of course, the most excited one among them was Sascha, the adjutant of the general, whose status was much higher than that of an ordinary lieutenant general.

"I never thought that after taking a risk, I would become a subordinate of the Navy Admiral. It's really incredible."

Vivi said slowly that no one doubted that Yulandel would not be able to defeat Green Bull. After all, for such a long time, Yulandel had given people a very high sense of security.

In addition, considering that Yulandel had previously faced the Golden Lion and one of the Four Emperors, it was obviously impossible for Green Bull to be stronger than two Four Emperors-level fighters alone, so this matter could almost be said to be a foregone conclusion.

"Speaking of which, do you have any ideas for code names? How about Gray Snake?"

“…” Yulandel looked at Nico Robin. The suggestion was good, but it would be better not to suggest it in the future.

"Gray snake or something like that doesn't fit Yulandel's temperament at all. No girl would be called that. It's better to call her Feather Rabbit. It's clean and cute, and that's what a girl looks like."

“…” Is this the navy or the world snake?

261 Green Bull: I’m just a Yulandel, can you really kill me with just one punch?

"But calling it Hato doesn't seem to have much of a deterrent effect. It would be better to call it Jackal."

"That's enough, Krishna, stop talking."

Yulandel quickly stopped Robin. With the way she named him, Yulandel might be called the Dark Sinner in the future.

Seeing that Robin was stopped, Vivi looked at Yulandel with excitement.

"Don't bother talking anymore. I'll come up with the code name myself. I won't bother you anymore."

It really made them think that they had become members of the World Snake, but there was clearly no such organization as the World Snake here.

Yulandel, who had not yet reached a conclusion, decided to put the code name issue aside for the time being and instead deal with Almaki, who did not require much brainpower to deal with.

On an island in the East China Sea.

Because there are the fewest pirates in the East China Sea, it was known as the weakest sea area before the Great Pirate Age. After the Great Pirate Age, it is also relatively the safest sea area with the lowest pirate bounty.

Fewer pirates means that ordinary people are less likely to suddenly go bankrupt, and are less likely to be forced to take the path of piracy. In a virtuous cycle, many people here can survive.

If they could survive, ordinary people would not rebel easily. Without rebellion, the revolutionary army's infiltration power would not be too great. In the war against the World Government, the East China Sea was the best protected by the World Government.

It also means that the probability of Kiana seeing and paying attention to this sea area is the lowest, so the decisive battle of the admirals was brought here, a place that is relatively safe for the World Government.

"salute!"
