A week later, the New World, the waters near Wano Country.
The sunlight caused some golden scales to appear on the blue sea surface. A large warship was moored beside an uninhabited island with barren vegetation.
Arturia was wearing a blue and white dress, sitting on a rock on the shore, holding a fishing rod, and was fishing.
The curved silver fishhook was like a crescent moon, and the tip of the hook shone with a cold light, but there was no bait on it.
"How can a fish bite you like this?"
Wearing a rose-red women's suit, the tall and beautiful Major General Hina stood aside with her hands on her hips and muttered.
Kate has been fishing like this for several days. Although the task of monitoring the enemy is relatively boring, isn't fishing without bait a complete waste of time?
"Who knows? Maybe there are fish that are good for this."
Arturia looked at the rippling sea with a calm expression. Her watery eyes were as crystal clear as gems. As she gazed, she had an elegant and noble temperament.
Hina: "..."
No no, no fish is stupid enough to bite an empty hook.
However, as a subordinate, it is best not to argue with the leader, even if she doesn't mind.
"Let me see what's going on over there."
Hina held a cigarette in her mouth, stepped on her feet, activated the Six Style "Shaving" and jumped onto the gray rock at the edge of the island.
She stood on the top of a towering rock, took out a pair of military high-power telescopes, and looked at the sea thousands of meters away to the west-north.
There is an island over there that is full of brown gravel and has many bare rocks and mounds called Rubble Island.
The rubble island is not small, but it is too desolate. There is almost no vegetation on the island, which is even more barren and desolate than the uninhabited small desert island at their feet.
It is said to be near Wano, but in fact, Rubble Island is more than 20 kilometers away from the inland sea of Wano, which is surrounded by a circle of cliffs and waterfalls.
In other words, it is not located within the sea area with special geographical environment of Wano Country.
(The sea area of Wano is a special area. There is no normal coast. It is surrounded by cliffs and waterfalls. After going up, there is the inland sea. The inland sea contains the main island of Wano and Onigashima, the headquarters of the Beast Pirates.)
Hina raised her hands and looked over there with high-powered binoculars.
At this moment, the rubble island, which was originally barren and sparsely populated, and could be described as a bird without shit, was unusually busy. It was crowded with people, flags were flying, and it was very lively.
"Recruiting troops, recruiting troops... In the past few days, the Beast Pirates have been busy recruiting troops."
Not noticing anything unusual, Hina put down the telescope, shrugged and complained, "Hina is speechless. Don't those little pirates know that they are just used as cannon fodder?"
In the battle between the two emperors, the navy did not dare or was unwilling to intervene easily, so they just stood aside and watched the show for the time being.
The little pirates, like sharks that smelled blood, rushed forward one after another.
"Don't say that. For those pirates, this is an opportunity to stand out... How would they normally have the chance to join the Beasts Pirates?"
Arturia moved her hand holding the fishing rod, and the surface of the sharp iron hook that sank under the water suddenly released a burst of dreamlike silver light. The light was like moonlight, like white jade, like morning dew, spreading out silently.
In the blink of an eye, the rippling blue sea surface for several kilometers nearby was filled with a beautiful mercury sheen.
It's just that this kind of light seems invisible to others, and all the sailors on the White Dragon warship parked nearby turn a blind eye.
Hina didn't notice anything unusual and continued to complain:
"You're just being used by the beasts. Aren't you afraid that your death will be worthless?"
If she were a pirate, she would never get involved in such a dangerous situation, but would just stand by and watch.
"If you are willing, take the bait. Even if there is no bait, it is actually not difficult to catch fish."
Arturia smiled slightly, raised her hand, and white water suddenly surged on the sea. A large yellow croaker weighing several kilograms was pulled up, swaying its tail.
At the same time, the mercury-like light on the sea disappeared.
Hina was stunned and stammered: "You...how did you do this?"
Hell, she was sure there wasn't any bait on it.
Even among the various Devil Fruit abilities, I have never heard of any that can make fish bite empty hooks...
Arturia grabbed the delicious yellow croaker with her white-gloved hands, and with a satisfied smile on her face like a foodie, she explained:
"I told the yellow croaker that the fishhook was delicious, better than shrimp and clam meat, and that after eating it, it would no longer have to worry about being hungry... Then, it happily bit the hook."
Hina: "..."
Σ(?д?llll), there are too many flaws.
Can she still communicate with fish? Moreover, it feels a bit sinister to trick fish into biting an empty hook...
Arturia grabbed the yellow croaker's mouth, removed the hook, and said calmly:
"Actually, Kaido is just an empty-hook fisherman. He keeps silent about the risks of war, and tells the pirates that as long as they have achieved military exploits, there is no need to go through qualifications, and they can directly become gifters (gifters) and shinuchi (real fighting/stage pillars)... Even big billboards (all-stars).
Power, status, money, beauties, devil fruits...he doesn't hesitate to reward them.
Although it is just a big pie, it is undeniable that this is very tempting to many pirates, allowing them to ignore the danger and keep going, just like this fish that bites an empty hook. "
Hina's face twitched as she looked at the yellow croaker whose tail kept swaying in her hand, as if trying to break free from the restraints of her hand.
She knew that this fish would be cooked at noon, served on the table as a fragrant braised fish, and then enter her and Kate's stomachs...
She pouted and said, "That sounds really ironic."
She could no longer look directly at the cheerful and joyful pirates on the ruined island.
It feels like they are just like this yellow croaker. They are still counting money for others after being sold. Moreover, it feels like the big bosses all have dark hearts, Kaido is like this, White Dragon is like this... ahem.
Arturia threw the yellow croaker into the bucket beside her, then put the hook without bait into the sea, and said:
“Everyone is the protagonist in their own lives, so many people subconsciously believe that they can also become the protagonists and trendsetters in society, on the stage, and even on the battlefield.
Little did they know, they might just be yellow croakers. "
Hina: "..."
(￣△￣;), stop talking about fish, she might not be able to bear to eat it at noon.
When the empress comes to compete with Kaido Imperial City, the two sides fight to pieces and the blood flows into rivers. Many pirates who want to gain wealth and wealth at risk will probably regret it in their intestines.
There may be a few lucky ones who stand out, but you'd better pray that you're among them...
Hina put down the telescope, changed the subject, and asked:
"Why did the headquarters suddenly transfer us here? Don't we need to monitor the Lion Heart Pirates and Red Hair Pirates?"
A few days ago, when her superior suddenly transferred her here, she was confused.
"The red hair doesn't need to be monitored. As for Ren... maybe someone from the government talked to him in private." Artoria said casually.
A few days ago, Garp went to the Sea of All Nations, and she was sent to Wano to monitor.
The order this time was very decisive. Apparently, the high-level government officials had tried to find a way to deal with Ren and Hongfa, at least they felt that they would not take the opportunity to cause trouble.
Hina frowned: "The five elders...people from the government are actually related to pirates?"
"Is this weird? Politics is full of compromises. Yesterday's enemies may not be today's allies." Arturia said calmly.
"this……"
Rina looked uncomfortable and stopped talking.
With a strong sense of justice, this female marine could not accept that the Five Old Stars were secretly connected with big pirates like Red Hair and Ren, or maintained some kind of tacit understanding.
Especially Ren, who attacked Admiral Kizaru, invaded Impel Down, and destroyed Marinevando... the hatred value was very high.
Arturia shook her head and didn't explain anything.
As far as she knew, shortly after the war ended, the red-haired man secretly made a trip to the Holy Land of Mary Joa.
Did Wulaoxing yell at the red-haired man to kill him?
Called the admiral and cp0 to kill him?
not at all.
They served tea, treated the red-haired man as a distinguished guest, and chatted about the direction of history, the future maritime situation and other topics.
The situation is similar in Rennes.
At this time, Wu Laoxing lowered his profile, took the initiative to contact him on the phone, and invited him to participate in the world conference. First, he could test his ambition and style of acting, and second, he could temporarily ease the conflict with the Lion Group, killing two birds with one stone.
By appeasing Mr. Lei, the navy won't have to waste its troops on guarding the Lionheart Pirates, and can calmly deal with this world-famous battle between the two emperors?
And Mr. Lei was also insidious. He walked down the steps. His purpose was to avoid being disturbed by the outside world as much as possible when playing against Hawkeye.
After the two sides eased their relations, they had to deal with the struggle between the two emperors. Naturally, the navy and CP agencies would not keep staring at a private contest between swordsmen.
In this way, Renne's breakthrough will be smoother and worry-free.
And once he completes his promotion, haha...
Everyone gets what they need, it's just a routine.
Arturia didn't know much about this before, but she had been with Ren for too long, and she was always dark. Occasionally, she would reveal a little cunning and sinister side.
It's not her fault, it's that he tries to teach her bad things every day.
The atmosphere was a bit dull, and Hina felt depressed when she thought that the Five Old Stars had some kind of tacit understanding with the Demon King who destroyed Marinefando.
"The latest information has been transmitted." At this time, a beautiful woman jumped out of the warship.
She has long, smooth ocean blue wavy hair, wears a purple tank top, black shorts, an x-shaped scar on her fair-skinned right thigh, black pointed high heels, and a cloak of justice.
Navy Captain Ain, a superhuman and retrograde fruit user and female swordsman.
After Zefa went to Donghai to retire, she joined Bailong's staff as a liaison officer.
Just now, some navy officers dressed as pirates and sneaked into the ruined island to act as undercover agents to spy on the enemy passed the information.
Artoria and Hina both cheered up and said:
"What did the informant say?"
"This month, in order to prepare for war, Kaido of the Hundred Beasts used thunderous means to clean up Wano Country. The current general of Wano Country, Black Carbon Orochi, is said to have died...
Kaido brought under his command the 5,000 ninja troops of the "Otei Fanzhu" and the 5,000 samurai troops of the "Mikai Group" who were originally affiliated with Orochi's Wano troops. At this time, the Beast Pirates had about 3 Thousands of horses and horses.
On Rubble Island, based on recruitment these days, there are about 7,000 people gathered. "
Colonel Ain held a fax document and recited the information sent by several undercover agents from the Beasts Pirates.
Arturia and Hina both listened carefully with serious expressions.
Ain continued:
"In addition, the informant heard that Kaido sent many people to search for a monster from Ghost Island. It seemed to be a woman. After untying the restraints, she knocked Jack Drought to the ground with one blow and almost killed him. Jack was frozen into an ice sculpture, and even 'Fire Calamity' Jin couldn't take her down...
She also fought against Kaido who arrived later, but in the middle of the fight, both sides suddenly stopped... It is said that she has joined the Beasts Pirates and will participate in the war against Nine Snakes. "
"A woman, after defeating Jack, can compete with Kaido?" Hina was surprised.
Is there such an awesome woman in Wano?
"Could it be Kaido's own daughter?" Artoria muttered.
Few people in the outside world know the existence of Yamato. The country of Wano is closed to the outside world and has no information. Yamato can only move around the ghost island because he wears a sea stone bomb bracelet.
Very few people know her, and even fewer know that she is Kaido's daughter.
Even Arturia heard about it from someone named Lei.
He said that Yamato was a filial daughter, and every day he thought about imitating Kozuki Oden, defeating her father, and driving the Beast Pirates out of Wano... In short, his brain circuit was very strange.
But how could she agree to fight?
Just thinking about it, it would be good if she didn't stab his father in the back...
Hina asked: "Do you know the identity of that woman?"
This strength, at least as an imperial deputy, is enough to change the outcome of a local war.
Ain looked puzzled: "The informant said he is not sure, and his name seems to be Kozuki Oden."
Hina: "..."
(?◇?)? Kozuki Oden, the daimyo of Wano, must have been dead for more than ten years...
Artoria: "..."
That should be right.
…………
Rubble Island, dock area.
The dilapidated port, where no ship had been seen all year round, was now very crowded. Pirate ships from all over the New World were moored here, with various skull and crossbones flags flying.
At ten o'clock in the morning, the sun was shining brightly, and Drought Jack's car, the Mammoth, was slowing down towards the port.
"Wow, is this the outside world? There are so many pirates!"
On the bow, a woman's excited voice echoed.
She is tall, wearing a white sleeveless close-fitting kimono with some blue and purple patterns on the clothes, two diamond patterns on the chest, a huge shirōsu tied around her waist, a red skirt on her lower body, and a pair of red-strap clogs.
She has long, gradually changing white hair, tied into a ponytail, which gradually changes from white to green and then to blue from the top of her head to the tips of her hair. Her hair is parted in the middle, and her temple hair hangs naturally to her chest.
The most eye-catching thing is that she has a pair of strange red devil horns on her head.
This is Kaido's daughter Yamato. She is 28 years old. She ate the Inu Inu Fruit, Oguchi Shingo form, an ice-based phantom beast ability.
At this time, Yamato stood on the bow of the Mammoth, looking around with a pair of watery, bright yellow eyes, jumping up and down excitedly.
She looks very much like Grandma Liu when she first entered the Grand View Garden. She was curious about everything.
She had no choice but to wear a bomb bracelet and was forced to be a hardcore otaku for more than twenty years. Today was the first time that she left the country of Wano and came to the outside world.
Even if a news bird flew in the sky, she would be excited for a while when she saw it.
"Miss, be careful, don't fall. You are a Devil Fruit user."
Seeing her wandering around the guardrail, Drought Jack came over and reminded her kindly.
At this time, the awesome "Ship King" appearance was a bit awkward. The ivory-decorated helmet was removed, and there were several circles of straps wrapped around his forehead, and a big bag was vaguely visible.
"Long-winded!"
Yamato was very annoyed when Yaxing was disturbed. He gave Jack a hard look and said with an unhappy face, "Do you think I am a three-year-old child? I will freeze in the sea before I fall. Also, if you are not a eldest lady, you have to call me Imperial Palace!"
Jack didn't dare to talk back after being sprayed with her spit: "..."
A few days ago, under the captain's order, he spent a lot of time finding Yamato who was hiding on the ghost island. Following the captain's instructions, he directly used the key to unlock her bomb bracelet.
Then, Yamato got angry and hit him with a stick, almost giving him a concussion...
This little aunt was so violent that even the swordsman Ren was not as unreasonable as her. She reminded him of the pirate empress who had tortured him many times, and the ferocious little girl he met in Dressrosa.
Fire Dragon Nana looked cute, but she hit someone so fiercely that she almost burned him to charcoal with a mouthful of Dragon Flame Jade.
This makes Drought Jack wonder whether women who have eaten the fruit of the phantom beast are so virtuous...
Not long after, the Mammoth docked.
Carrying the mace, Yamato hurriedly jumped off the ship and landed on the rubble island.
It was the first time she set foot on the outside world. Even if it was a deserted island with not much green vegetation and full of dried sand and high loess slopes, she was fascinated by it.
She looked around and exclaimed: "It's so beautiful, such a magical place!"
Jack: "..."
(￢_￢;), where is the beauty?
Tell me, on this shabby island, there is nothing but sand. What is there to see?
Jack cursed in his heart, but did not dare to have an opinion. Seeing that Yamato seemed to want to run away like a child, he hurriedly said:
"Big and small... Royal Palace, don't run around. Go to the military camp to meet Brother Quinn first."
"What a shame! Haven't you started a war with the Empress yet? What's wrong with me strolling around?"
Being disturbed again, Yamato got a little angry. He hit the ground hard with the mace in his hand, and the ground cracked instantly, and a layer of air waves spread out with powerful overlord-colored domineering energy!
"..."
As if being stared at by a wild beast, Jack's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and he lowered his head and did not dare to say anything.
Rely on the ship king and bow to the evil forces.jpg
Yamato snorted coldly and prepared to walk aside.
Just the next second, she seemed to notice some kind of peeping, her face suddenly changed, and she looked towards the sea in the distance.
"There's a ship there...a seagull sign, is it a warship?"
I seem to have heard someone say that the seagull represents the navy and the skull and crossbones flag represents the pirates.
"Well, that's the White Dragon, Vice Admiral White Dragon's ship. Don't worry about it for now." Jack explained.
"But……"
Yamato frowned and her body gradually tensed up. She looked over there intently, as if she was looking at a pair of golden and green pupils...
