Ghost Shark, but in the world of One Piece

Page 107

Recruiting traitors is bad for the reputation of justice...

However, a resolute voice soon followed.

"I'll go." Akainu's expression remained unchanged, showing no sign of unease.

“Alright, then we’ll leave the liaison to Sakazuki, and the final encirclement and control of the battlefield to Kuzan.” Tsuru turned to look at the silent Aokiji and quickly received a response.

After making a rough arrangement, He clapped his hands and scanned everyone with his eyes.

"Besides Whitebeard Newgate, we also need to be wary of the actions of the other three Emperors of the Sea. Of course, even if another Emperor comes, we are confident that we can take him down."

"This battle is the one that will end the so-called Great Pirate Era for us."

An opportunity. Akainu clenched his fist, hot smoke rising from it.

Zhan Guo smiled and said, "If you all have anything to add regarding the battle plan, please feel free to speak up."

"There's something I must remind you all of," a calm voice came from below.

Everyone turned their gaze to Specter, who was speaking for the first time.

Under the puzzled gaze of the Warring States, she uttered three words.

"Impel City."

Chapter 167 The Incident in Sabaody

Impel Down?

How could the battle at headquarters have affected Impel Down?

"The moment the war to execute Ace began..." Specter looked at Tsuru, who was resting her chin on her hand, "was the moment when Impel Down was at its most dangerous and its defenses were at their weakest."

"Are you kidding me? You mean someone will take this opportunity to attack Impel Down?" The newly promoted Brigadier General Smoker asked in astonishment, a cigar dangling from his lips.

However, Ghost Shark did not respond, its eyes still fixed on the contemplative crane.

“Ghost Shark is right; this was an oversight by the General Staff.”

Crane tapped the table and said in a deep voice, "Imperial City's defense stats on paper do look very good, but think about it carefully, Shiryu is imprisoned, and there are those prisoners who mysteriously disappeared."

"Moreover, at this time, all of the Navy's high-end combat forces are concentrated at headquarters, and there is simply no manpower available. Apart from Magellan, the strength of the others..."

There was a moment of silence. Tsuru looked at Specter and asked curiously, "Laurentina, why don't you just give your suggestion now?"

Specter nodded, his expression serious. "I think we should send Admiral Kizaru to Impel Down, of course, only during the war."

Since he was completely inactive throughout the Marineford War, we might as well make use of him and send him to guard Impel Down.

A naval admiral should be enough to deal with invaders.

"Oh, how terrible, they actually want me to guard Impel Down."

Kizaru pouted, a hint of surprise mixed with a lewd expression. "Well, this isn't bad, is it?"

"No way!" Sengoku immediately rejected the idea.

"Fleet Admiral Sengoku," Specter Shark said solemnly, "If even one of those legendary pirates imprisoned on Level 6 of Impel Down were to escape, do you know how many civilians would be kept awake at night by fear for their loved ones?"

"The purpose of this war is to eliminate the evil spirits lurking over the heads of civilians; we must not put the cart before the horse."

The resounding words echoed throughout the conference room.

The Warring States period fell silent, unable to say anything.

"Commodore Ghost Shark"

In the corner, a gaunt man who looked like a zombie held a long sword and looked at Laurentina with eyes full of admiration and respect.

"Your justice shines with a holy light."

“You flatter me, Commodore T. Penn.” Specter smiled at the pure-blooded naval officer.

"Since that's the case," Kizaru put away his nail clippers and said slowly, "there's nothing I can do about it. I agree to Specter's plan."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Kuzan, seemingly casually.

Now, I, this old man, can openly slack off.

"But then again, aren't we missing a high-end combatant?" Sengoku asked Ghost Shark, feigning ignorance.

The crane lowered its head, a smile appearing on its lips.

"Rest assured, Marshal of the Warring States. I will fill in the gaps!" The girl's words carried an undeniable air of authority.

"I thought you would lie low for a while longer."

He couldn't help but tease, "After five years of honing your skills, you finally couldn't resist stepping onto the top stage? Seeing you reminds me of the sun at seven or eight in the morning—full of vigor and ambition. Unlike us old folks..."

"I acknowledge your fighting prowess," Zhan Guo said casually. "Besides, I'm already seventy-seven years old, it's time to hand over the stage to you young people."

and many more.

Ghost Shark looked at the two of them in disbelief. This was too shameless.

They actually used my words as an excuse to retire?!

They even secretly wanted to elevate me to a higher position?

Those two old foxes are really something!

Ghost Shark flicked his hair, his gaze sweeping across the entire conference room.

Sure enough, after the two finished speaking, the expressions of the doves and hawks, especially Kuzan and Sakazuki, became subtle.

“Then,” Sengoku said, taking the meeting minutes prepared by his assistant and finalizing the plan, “we’ll arrange it like this for now. Once the Navy personnel drawn from the branch have assembled, we’ll announce the news of Ace’s execution to the world!”

The officers in the conference room nodded in agreement; even the final decision was handled flawlessly.

Bang!

Suddenly, the conference room door was pushed open, and a Marine wearing a righteous coat saluted, looking flustered. "Reporting to the Fleet Admiral, in the Sabaody Archipelago... Gluttony Monkey and his gang injured a Celestial Dragon, and the entire Sabaody Archipelago is in complete chaos!"

Nani? ! !

Sengoku was stunned, then suddenly stood up, almost shouting, "How are the Celestial Dragons doing?!"

He suffered severe blood loss from the knife wound and fell into a coma, but his life is not in danger.

Zhan Guo rubbed his forehead, feeling both happy and angry.

What's gratifying is that the Celestial Dragons were injured, and what's infuriating is that not only did they appear at this crucial moment, but the Celestial Dragons are still alive.

None of them in this family are easy to deal with.

"Tell me in detail how this brat injured the Celestial Dragon."

The reporting naval officer bowed in agreement and continued, "According to news from the Airon branch, this year's Supernovas arrived on the island at almost the same time. Among them, the culprit who injured a Celestial Dragon was 'Idiot with No Directions' Zoro. If it weren't for 'Big Eater' Jewelry Bonney stopping Straw Hat Luffy, perhaps more than one Celestial Dragon would have been injured."

This year's supernova?

Specter asked the conference room assistant for a list of supernovas.

As you turn the pages, the list remains largely unchanged.

After lying low in the park for a few years, Becky Ben also chose to venture into the New World.

However, it seems he was defeated early on and eventually joined Whitebeard's fleet?

The newest addition to the list this year is La Lolita, the "top plastic surgeon," with a bounty of 130 million Berries.

Having consumed the "Plastic Surgery Fruit," she excels at disguise and assassination, and previously worked for an assassin organization...

"In addition, many of the naval colleagues in the Elon branch were also injured, and the human trafficking...professional security office was also destroyed."

Sengoku calmly asked, "By the way, which Celestial Dragon was injured?"

"Saint Rozward!"

They're a family of idiots.

Sengoku's gaze swept over the officers. According to the rules of the World Government, at least one Marine Admiral must be dispatched when a Celestial Dragon is attacked.

Eron belongs to Kizaru's faction, so Borsalino is a must-visit destination for him.

But since Specter is the future governor of Sabaody Archipelago and I heard that the handover is currently underway, it would be appropriate for her to go and clean up the trash.

The thought of his old comrade-in-arms Garp, looking dejected before leaving home, filled Sengoku with a bitter feeling.

We're already about to lose one grandson, and another...

"I'll go there myself." Kizaru took a sip of tea and said leisurely, "After all, one of my trusted subordinates has been injured. As his superior, I can't just ignore him, can I?"

Sengoku nodded in agreement, then looked at Specter, "Laurentina, why don't you come along too? You seem to have some subordinates in Sabaody Archipelago, right?"

“Several sergeants are in talks with Brigadier General Airon.” Specter Shark also stood up, smiling calmly. “Then I also have a reason to intervene.”

"Oh? Commodore Specter is coming too? I'm really looking forward to it."

Kizaru glanced at the girl almost imperceptibly.

Chapter 168 A Unique Way of Making an Appearance

Marineford and the deep-sea fleet quickly assembled and set sail for Chambord.

"How strange~ The main gun of this ship is almost as powerful as a laser." Kizaru looked at the Railgun with curiosity.

“Well, technology is the primary productive force.” Ghost Shark glanced at him and stood leisurely on the ship’s railing, enjoying the breeze. “Old man, aren’t you also in charge of the science unit? You should understand this even more deeply.”

"The primary productive force..." Kizaru chuckled, repeatedly pondering the phrase.

He stood beside the ghost shark, calmly looking at the sea ahead. "Compared to your strength, your insights seem to be a bit more profound."

"No, no, no, you see things much more clearly." Ghost Shark waved his hand.

After all, taking it easy is the true meaning of life, unless the world collapses.

"Technology..." Kizaru's voice carried a hint of nonchalance, "Let's wait and see. Sentomaru has already taken a group of Pacifistas over there, and Headquarters has high hopes for them."

Are you preparing to test the power of humanoid weapons?

"Then let Brigadier General Airon evacuate the civilians first."

Specter remained noncommittal; for these supernovas, the current pacifists were more than enough to give them a run for their money...

"Boom boom boom..."

At that moment, Ghost Shark's Den Den Mushi watch suddenly vibrated.

Uncover the glass cover, pick up the phone, and a dignified face with a Hime-style hairstyle quickly appears on the screen.

"Hancock? What's wrong?" Specter asked curiously.

“My dearest husband, I have received the mandatory summons. I will be waiting for you in Mary Geoise.”

Specter paused for a moment. She remembered that the Empress had only recently returned from Mary Geoise, and the previous meeting of the Seven Warlords of the Sea was to discuss the issue of stripping Crocodile of his title.

This trip to Mary Geoise was solely to deal with the war.

However, in the original story, she delayed for a long time, missed the meeting, and was taken directly to Marineford by the mole.

Of course, they also took Luffy to Impel Down along the way.

But since we've come so early this time, these problems shouldn't have occurred.

"Okay, set off as soon as possible. I'll be waiting for you in Mary Geoise."

Specter cut to the chase, ignoring Hancock's various imaginary pleas and sweet talk, and hung up the phone immediately.

My dear husband?

Kizaru caught the remark immediately, and smiled without saying a word.

On the other side, Liu Yedao brought two servings of tea and snacks for the two of them. The wagashi (Japanese sweets) paired with the new tea looked quite delicious.

Kizaru accepted it with a smile, while Specter thought for a moment, waved his hand, and picked up the Den Den Mushi again.

"Boom boom boom..."

After a ring, the call connected, and the face of the blue-skinned fat man appeared on the screen.

"It's me, Ghost Shark."

“It’s Colonel Specter, no, Brigadier General Specter.” Jinbe’s voice carried a hint of complexity.

"It seems you already know the reason behind this mandatory summons order," Ghost Shark said calmly, taking a sip of tea.

The soldiers of the Seven Warlords of the Sea were notified that they had already set off before the meeting even began.
