Chief of Staff He's analysis was so clear and logical that everyone present couldn't help but nod their heads.
Marshal Zhan Guo rubbed his temples, clearly troubled by the current situation.
"So, our previous assessment of the Beasts Pirates was far from adequate. Shangguan Wen's strength and intelligence far exceeded our expectations. This does not bode well for the Navy."
Karp then interjected:
"Sengoku, don't worry too much. Although the beasts are strong, we are not vegetarians. As long as we formulate a good strategy and unite with the enemies of the other four emperors, we may not be unable to fight."
Borsalino also spoke lazily: "Also, don't forget, if a war really breaks out, the Navy may not lose. The Pacifist Plan has already yielded results." Upon hearing this, Sakaski's eyes flashed with a fierceness: "That's right, no matter how strong they are, justice will prevail. We must formulate a counterattack plan as soon as possible. We can't let the pirates' momentum continue to rise and attract more people to join the pirates."
Marshal Zhan Guo looked around and saw that although everyone was injured, their fighting spirit was not weakened. He felt a little relieved. "Very good, since everyone said so, let's discuss the next step. First, we must quickly collect more information about Shangguan Wen's New Beasts Pirates, including their weaknesses, combat habits, etc. Secondly, we must strengthen the navy's own strength. We can't let Shangguan Wen kill us so easily. Otherwise, even if there are pacifists who join the war in the future, if they are not strong enough, they will still be a joke. Next time, I can't guarantee that they can be redeemed after being captured."
When they heard about the redemption, the captured sailors looked extremely embarrassed. This was a shame for the soldiers.
After the meeting, Zhan Guo asked the navy generals who participated in the battle to write a combat report respectively. He also used Den Den Mushi to communicate with Wu Lao Deng to report the truth about the defeat of Sakaski and others. Of course, in order to prevent the navy's military expenditure from being weakened and embarrassing, he deliberately said that Shangguan Wen defeated Garp and Sakaski by a sneak attack. After hearing the report, Wu Lao Deng was shocked and angry, and directly scolded Garp and others for being useless. They were defeated and captured by a little kid in a sneak attack. It was a shame, a shame for the navy.
After a barrage of scolding, Sengoku had to accept the scolding, but for the sake of the navy, Sengoku had no choice. Pacifists are a powerful weapon against pirates, but at the same time, their excessive number and rapid emergence is not a good thing for the navy, which means that the navy may be eliminated in the future. Don't think that only the World Government would do such a thing as nurturing the enemy to protect oneself. The navy, which has served them for eight hundred years, has also learned this trick, but has not actually put it into practice due to the sense of justice in their hearts.
After cursing for a while, the Five Elders realized that the World Government now needs the navy to assist them in suppressing the sea and controlling other member states and non-member states.
The five elders issued Zao Yim's resolution to forgive the navy's disastrous defeat this time, but absolutely not allow it to happen again.
Then, under the media propaganda controlled by the World Government, the Navy's defeat was described as being caused by the Beasts' shameless sneak attack in a exaggerated way. At the same time, CP0 agents were sent to sternly warn Morgans that if he made any false reports, he would be wiped out.
After receiving the information from his partner Shangguan Wen, Morgans also cooperated very well with CP0's work. At the same time, he kept an eye on the undercover agents and bribed traitors inside the news agency, waiting for the right time to kill them all together.
A wanted notice for Shangguan Wen was soon issued from the Naval Headquarters.
Shangguan Wen, the new captain of the Beasts Pirates
Animal Series - Dog-Dog Fruit - Mythical Beast - Shadow Moon Wolf
The bounty is 66 billion berries.
Fairy Queen Erza Shukaleto
A female swordsman with the ability of the Parahuman-Skimming Fruit, with a bounty of 15 billion berries.
Yamato, daughter of Kaido
Animal Series - Dog-Dog Fruit - Mythical Beast - Big Mouth True God
The bounty is 14 million berries.
As soon as the three bounty notices were released, the whole world exploded. No one had expected that the Beasts Pirates were so powerful that they could defeat so many powerful people in a short period of time without suffering much loss themselves.
Chapter 52 Undercover Peach Rabbit Gion
"Master, Marshal Sengoku has gone to the Five Elders to report in secret that the Pacifist is a humanoid weapon developed by Dr. Vegapunk to target pirates."
In Gion's room, this female vice admiral had already been forced by Shangguan Wen to sign a female contract and became Shangguan Wen's loyal maid. Now she is working undercover in the navy, providing Shangguan Wen with a steady stream of intelligence. Doflamingo can arrange for Vergo to be undercover in the navy, and Shangguan Wen can do the same, and it will be more covert and less likely to be discovered.
In front of Gion is the Shadow Snake, which can lurk, eavesdrop, and serve as a teleportation target location.
"Can you find Vegapunk? If not, locate Egghead. The World Government doesn't recognize Vegapunk's value, but I can maximize his potential and find him a good student."
In Shangguan Wen's hometown after he traveled through time, Eight Shadow Ita (with an additional nine-tailed fox, Snow Princess - Tushan Xue, the beginning of Chapter 9) is the elf responsible for scientific research. Sometimes he uses Shangguan Wen for experiments. He is simply the opposite of Tiangang. He has a strong scientific talent without a complete scientific system. If he has Vegapunk's research data, no one knows what stronger things Ita will develop.
"That's possible, but it's risky. Vegapunk has always been protected (monitored) by Borsalino and the CP Agency, and the vice admirals who go there are all fixed. I can get to Egghead through Sister Crane."
"Well, just go to Aighead and place the Shadow Snake there. I'll take care of the rest."
"Yes, Master"
After the call ended, Shangguan Wen opened the panel to check Gion's personal information.
Signed by: Gion
Age: 25
Codename: Peach Rabbit
Vice Admiral of the Naval Headquarters, Alternate Admiral
No Devil Fruit abilities
Two-handed domineering, female swordsman
Strength level 75.
Shangguan Wen would be so kind as to let a group of navy go back, not just for the devil fruits and food, the most important thing is to plant undercover agents. By forcing the signing of the Book of Female Contract, they can obtain Vegapunk's three female clones, Lilith representing "evil", Atlas representing "violence" and York representing "desire", and get all of Vegapunk's scientific research technology and equipment.
His eyes turned to the superhuman devil fruits in his other hand - the Silence Fruit and the Steel Fruit. In the original work, due to bad luck in marriage, these two fruits were not developed to the extreme, giving people a sense of uselessness, but as the plot develops.
The Silence Fruit restrains Uta's Song-Song Fruit. When the Steel Fruit and the Swallow-Swallow Fruit work together, countless new steels can be produced continuously. In addition, the shape memory alloy produced by the Swallow-Swallow Fruit when it eats metal, and the combat suit technology of Germa 66, even if not everyone can fly, it can also serve as the first generation of power armor that integrates offense and defense on the ground. It's exciting to think about it.
Shangguan Wen spoke a few more words to Gion, reminded her to be careful, then hung up the phone and went to find Kaido.
Inazuma-Ghost Island
"Kaido, do you know the whereabouts of Shiki the Golden Lion, even a little bit?"
Shangguan Wen asked directly, and Kaido just shook his head drunkenly:
"No, that old Deng escaped from the underwater prison and went to look for Whitebeard, but he disappeared somewhere. Even when I turned into a blue dragon and soared in the sky, I encountered islands in the sky, but I didn't meet him. My dear son-in-law, why did you suddenly mention that old Deng?"
Shangguan Wen did not hide anything and spoke directly:
"It's just preparation for World War I. When I was looking through the secret history of Wano Country hidden by the deceased Kozuki Sukiyaki, I found a mention of a tsunami 800 years ago and that the present-day Wano Country is above the former Wano Country. I inferred that it was the work of Uranus or Poseidon, the King of the Sea. So, I need the Float-Float Fruit or the Gravity Fruit."
When talking about ancient weapons, Kaido, who was originally slightly drunk, changed his expression instantly, and his eyes revealed undisguised ambition.
"Do you know where those things are?"
"Well, Poseidon, the Sea King, is on Fishman Island, and Uranus, the Sky King, is in the World Government's Pangu City. You're not going to rob him now, are you?"
Kaido put the wine flask aside, touched his chin, and his eyes were full of calculation.
"Fishman Island is the territory of that old man Whitebeard. If Poseidon, the Sea King, is on Fishman Island, he should know about it. Could it be that those fishmen are hiding this from me?"
"Yes, in the eyes of King Neptune of Fishman Island, Whitebeard is indeed protecting Fishman Island, but he is a pirate after all. Once he knows that the ancient weapon is on Fishman Island, there is no guarantee that he will have the intention of robbing it. It will also attract the attention of other forces and lead to disaster for Fishman Island. It would be better to conceal the matter of Poseidon, the King of the Sea."
Kaido took out the Eight Precepts and placed them on his shoulders and said:
"Are you going to rob now? Poseidon, the Sea King?"
Shangguan Wen directly rejected it:
"No, there are countless sea kings in the deep sea, and I can't guarantee success. If I'm not 100% sure, I'd rather leave her there than touch her."
"it's a pity"
"There's nothing to regret. The Hundred Beasts are now in their prime and are being closely watched by all parties. Follow my plan. Victory will belong to us."
Kaido continued to drink the wine from the gourd, gulping it down, and wiping his mouth roughly, he said:
“Yes, victory belongs to us.”
Shangguan Wen finally instructed:
"Also, I'm going to visit Inazuma and head to the North Sea Germa Kingdom. Please keep an eye on the house during this time and make sure it doesn't get stolen."
Kaido nodded in understanding, he heard from Quinn
"For Germa 66's bloodline factor technology and battle suit technology."
Shangguan Wen said half-truthfully:
"The World Government has Vegapunk, who also possesses bloodline gene technology, and is secretly executing a human cloning program called 'Pacifist.' Now that defective products have appeared, we lack suitable genetic samples. We must keep up and not fall behind the World Government."
Kaido snorted twice. He and King had no good feelings towards Vegapunk. They had been subjected to blood draws for experiments by that weird-headed guy many times.
"I see. Are you not taking Yamato with you?"
"No, this time when I go to find Germa 66, I'm going to sneak into the village without firing a gun. If I go to him openly, the World Government will guess what I'm up to."
After Shangguan Wen finished speaking, he stepped directly into the shadows, left this place and disappeared.
When Kaido witnessed Shangguan Wen's disappearance, he couldn't help but think of an old friend who had competed with him for Inazuma many years ago.
"Tsk tsk tsk, if that idiot Moonlight Moria had my good son-in-law who could use the power of shadow like me, I would have been the one to flee. It is said that the idiot is hiding in the Devil's Triangle and is a waste. He really can't afford to lose."
Chapter 53: Meeting Nico Robin
Shangguan Wen came to a cloud somewhere above Inazuma, used flying magic to slowly fly away from Inazuma for dozens of nautical miles, then referred to the map given by Quinn, exerted force suddenly, and his feet made a banging sound of sonic booms. He cut through the sky at a speed of Mach 8 and headed straight from the New World to the Grand Line. He planned to find Ning, a woman, before going to find Germa 66.
The survivor of West Sea O'Hara, archaeologist Nicole Robin, Shangguan Wen cannot understand ancient characters, and Jin has not received systematic training and has only a superficial understanding of the ancient historical texts. Now that he has these in his hands, he should quickly decipher them and keep them for free.
She has just joined the Lao Sha Baroque Studio at this time, which is the best time to recruit people.
Following the permanent pointer and map in his hand, Shangguan Wen quickly arrived at Alabasta, where Crocodile was.
After several hours, Shangguan Wen arrived at the scorching desert of Alabasta, activated his Observation Haki, and sensed the place with the most life on this island kingdom. Soon, Shangguan Wen found a caravan walking in the desert, asked about their location, and headed towards Crocodile's base, the Rainland.
Rainland is the most prosperous gambling area in the Kingdom of Alabasta. Millions of berries come in and out here every day. Many people jump off tall buildings after losing everything, or are beaten up by people from Baroque Works 24. However, the high profits brought by gambling still make many people take risks, thinking that they will become rich overnight.
Shangguan Wen came to Yudi and found out after a little inquiry that the Baroque Works' casino was here. He concealed his true appearance, drank the fruit juice that was a specialty of Yudi, and walked towards the "Yuyan" casino in a swagger.
When you walk in, you see all kinds of life such as madness, regret, stupidity, bloodthirstiness, etc., and you can't help but shake your head.
He found a maid and exchanged the tens of millions of Baileys in his hand for chips, then randomly found a pinball machine to start playing. Before Shangguan Wen traveled through time, he had seen news that many Japanese had lost their fortunes and families playing pinball machines. He had never expected that there were pinball machines in this world.
Shangguan Wen pondered to himself, "Though these pinball machines may come in different forms, their alluring nature is the same." He narrowed his eyes, carefully observing the machine's movements, his fingers tapping lightly on the armrest, as if calculating something.
Among the people around, some were playing pinball machines, cheering loudly or cursing softly. Their emotions fluctuated with the rolling of the marbles, as if they were being pulled by invisible strings and unable to extricate themselves.
At first, Shangguan Wen just randomly threw in a few chips to test the machine's "temper".
But soon, he discovered some clues - the probability of pinballs coming out of this pinball machine at certain specific moments seemed to have a subtle pattern.
A faint smile played on his lips, and a plan came to his mind. As time went on, Shangguan Wen gained more and more chips, and the expressions of those around him gradually changed from surprise to jealousy.
They began to notice this seemingly ordinary but actually very skilled player. Some tried to imitate Shangguan Wen's playing style, but often failed, and instead accelerated the loss of their own chips.
The management of the casino soon noticed this anomaly. A tall girl with short blond hair and light green eyes came to the scene. She was charming and smiling. She wore a yellow hat and lemon slice-shaped earrings, a yellow dress with lemon slice patterns, white high heels, and white gloves. The tall girl, carrying a yellow and blue striped umbrella, slowly walked towards Shangguan Wen and introduced herself as the special assistant to Miss. AllSunday, the vice president of the casino, and a cadre named Mr. 3. She said in a tone that was both polite and tentative: "Sir, you are so lucky. I wonder if you are interested in participating in the higher-level games in our casino? The challenges and rewards there are by no means comparable to these small games. If you win, you can get a sky-high Bailey."
Shangguan Wen smiled faintly. Miss AllSunday was Nico Robin's codename at Baroque Works. This was exactly the opportunity he'd been looking for. He pretended to think for a moment, then nodded and followed Mr. Mitchita 3 deeper into the casino.
There, in another, more upscale casino belonging to the Baroque Works, the atmosphere grew increasingly oppressive, an indescribable tension hanging in the air. The gamblers here were no longer ordinary citizens, tourists, or obscure pirates, but dignitaries from around the world, pirates from the Grand Line, and bounty hunters. What they were gambling was no longer simple berries, but intelligence, resources, and even their lives.
Shangguan Wen was brought to a luxuriously decorated gambling table. There were many gamblers around him who were ready to make a fortune. Of course, even if they lost everything, the worst that could happen was that they would just grab the money and run away.
"Mr. 3, where is your Miss. AllSunday? I really want to meet this vice president."
"As long as you win first place, you can see it."
Shangguan Wen looked left and right, and with his Observation Haki activated, he quickly located Nico Robin here.
“No, I have a faster and more convenient way.”
A red light flashed in his eyes, and the domineering aura was unleashed. Except for Mickeyta and Nico Robin who wanted to stay, the rest of the people were shocked by the domineering aura and fell into a coma with foam at the mouth.
Shangguan Wen also took off his disguise and revealed his true face.
"Nice to meet Miss.AllSunday, Robin, and .3Mikita."
Standing on a high place, the dark-skinned beauty with long black hair, a three-dimensional nose, a white cowboy hat, a white fur coat, a purple miniskirt, and white boots was no longer as calm as before. Her face was full of fear, and cold sweat kept pouring down her back.
Miqita, who was next to Shangguan Wen, was so frightened that she fell to the ground.
Who is Shangguan Wen?
The new captain of the Beasts, one of the overlords of the new world, the man who is now number one in the world, actually appeared beside him in disguise. I am going to die, I am going to die here today.
Michita's mind was full of this thought. She didn't think that her president and vice president Nico Robin, who had not shown up, could defeat the man with a bounty of 843 billion berries.
"Shangguan, you have come to the small Baroque Workshop and made it flourish. We apologize for the inconvenience. Please wait a moment. I will send the president over."
"I told you, I'm here to find you and the lady next to you. Once you see me, follow me and leave. I'm still going to the next place. Of course, Crocodile is willing to fight me for you, so I don't mind killing him."
Today, Lao Sha's strength has declined significantly. He is obsessed with finding ancient weapons. He was not an opponent before, and he is even less so now.
Nico Robin's heart skipped a beat, her face darkened, and she sighed to herself that her life was so miserable. Was her mission to find the historical text ending here?
"There are two historical texts on the Baishou Road, and there are also two historical texts on intelligence here. Find the one that satisfies your archaeologist's wish before leaving."
Nico Robin's heart, which had been as dead as despair, suddenly became full of energy. She raised her head and looked at Shangguan Wen, who was shorter and younger than her, and uttered hesitantly:
"This is real?"
"What do you have that's worthy of my deception?"
Nico Robin thought about it and realized that apart from her ability to understand historical texts, there was really nothing else to deceive her about.
