Chapter 72 Shocking the World! Marine Headquarters Admirals Launch Operations
Rocks D. Giebeck!
This is a name that is both legendary and taboo. In fact, because Rocks did such a shocking thing, the World Government chose to bury the truth of history instead of making it public. Today, only a few people know about the existence of this legendary pirate.
Many years ago, a group of pirates gathered on the pirate island of Hatchinos, and the Rocks Pirates were born.
When Roger was still a rookie, the Rocks Pirates had already dominated the seas, and their crew included many now-famous pirates such as Shiki the Golden Lion, Edward Newgate the Whitebeard, Charlotte Linlin the Big Mom, Kaido the Beasts, Silver Axe, Captain John, and Wang Zhi.
With such formidable fighting power, the Rocks Pirates now have the confidence to challenge the World Government!
Rocks D. Giebeck even harbored ambitions to become the King of the World!
Unfortunately, since the God Valley battle more than 20 years ago, Rocks was defeated by Garp and Roger, and even the island of God Valley was erased from the world map.
On this vast ocean, you can say you've inherited D's will, or you can say you want to be the Pirate King—it doesn't matter.
But if someone claims to have inherited the will of Lox D. Giebeck, they are truly ignorant of the meaning of death!
Even Bondi Waldo, known as the "Destroyer of the World," would never dare to call himself that!
Torrepol swallowed hard, his throat bobbing, and stared intently ahead.
The earth was swallowed by endless shadows, and the vast sea of shadows rose and fell. Countless shadows shrouded Yang Ming, as if a long yellow robe was trailing behind him. The deep eyes of the Abyss Mask flickered with blue light. His proud figure stood in the boundless shadows with his arms outstretched, as if he wanted to overthrow and rebuild the entire order of this world!
Dark, mysterious, powerful!
The arrogant Conqueror's Haki was unleashed, causing all the pirates of the Plum Blossom Legion to faint. They were then beheaded by the Death Knight, who was completely unaffected. Their bodies sank into the Shadow Sea. With each body that disappeared, an organ was added to the Shadow Sea, whether it was an ear, an eye, or a mouth.
"He actually possesses the qualities of a king!"
"Could it be that everything he just said was true?"
"Is he truly the one who inherited the will of Lox?"
Torrepol's pupils contracted sharply, and his heart pounded wildly.
Whether this is true or not, it means that the opponent in front of him is very troublesome, and he may very well lose his life today.
As the shadow sea was about to spread to his feet, Torrebol quickly floated up, while a lot of slime floated down, trying to block the shadow spikes piercing from all sides.
Trebol is a Logia-type user of the Sticky-Sticky Fruit, capable of creating a sticky, brownish, slippery substance from any part of his body, even his clothes can turn into a sticky substance.
Originally, the Sticky-Sticky Fruit's ability was quite useless, but Trebol has explored its potential over the years. Not only can it shoot the secreted sticky liquid from a distance, but it can also enhance the stickiness of the liquid. Once an enemy gets stuck in the sticky liquid, their body will be controlled and they will be unable to move freely for a short period of time.
In addition, the mucus secreted from Torebolo's body is highly flammable and explosive. The scepter in Torebolo's hand is disguised as an igniter. Once the secreted mucus is ignited, any enemy will suffer a silent loss.
Trebol already regarded Yang Ming as an opponent of the same level as Doflamingo, and had no intention of underestimating him. He kept dodging the attacks of the shadow assassins around him, while also trying to hit Yang Ming with a barrage of round, sticky sap.
Even if Yang Ming manages to dodge it, as long as his slime falls around Yang Ming, he can silently set up a killing formation against Yang Ming. When the time is right, Torebol can ignite the slime and trap the enemy in a sea of fire.
The plan was wonderful, but reality was harsh.
Yang Ming had long anticipated this move, allowing the shadow to envelop his entire body. Any slime that came near would be swallowed up by the ink-like shadow, leaving not even a trace.
The sea of shadows covering the ground beneath one's feet and the surrounding buildings seemed like a small black hole that swallowed everything, sending chills down one's spine.
While Torrepol was busy defending himself, Yang Ming checked the system notifications.
"Ding!"
"Congratulations, host, for reciting a classic line from One Piece. You have been awarded one chance to draw a prize. Would you like to start the prize wheel?"
A lottery wheel appeared in Yang Ming's field of vision, unnoticed by anyone around him.
The lottery wheel is divided into two categories: Devil Fruits and Techniques.
Devil Fruits: Dark-Dark Fruit, Flame-Flame Fruit...
Techniques: Navy Six Styles, Fishman Karate, Transvestite Kung Fu...
[Armament Haki]: It can enhance personal defense and can also be transformed into offensive power, thus enabling one to contend with Logia-type Devil Fruit users.
Armament Haki is divided into four levels: hardening, binding, external release, and internal destruction.
Yang Ming is currently a beginner, in the stage of using Armament Haki to harden his body. This is the most common and basic way to use it in the New World. Covering the body with Armament Haki can make the body harder than steel, increasing one's defense and attack power.
In addition to being used on one's own body, it can also be used on objects.
In the beginner stage, Armament Haki is essentially an upgraded version of Iron Body.
Yang Ming raised his right hand; now he could only cover his right palm with Armament Haki.
However, the insights gained from previously acquiring the Thunderous Eight Trigrams technique spontaneously arose, allowing Yang Ming to temporarily imbue his right hand with both Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki.
Since Yang Ming has not yet been able to cover his entire body with Armament Haki, it is too early for him to come into contact with the Armament Haki binding him; he can only maintain it for a very short moment.
But for Yang Ming, that was enough.
The next instant, Yang Ming stomped his foot, and waves of shadow surged.
shave!
flash!
Seeing the enemy disappear in the blink of an eye, Torrebol was terrified and instinctively covered his body with a large amount of slime in an attempt to resist Yang Ming's attack.
The lines composed of all things were exposed before the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception. After this period of contact and observation, four death lines had already been exposed on Trebol's body, and the traces of death points were faintly revealed. Unfortunately, the opponent always maintained an elemental state, and his body was constantly changing irregularly. The death points rose and fell, making it difficult for Yang Ming to grasp them accurately.
Yang Ming approached Torrepol, clenching his fist, and streaks of reddish-purple lightning flashed across his face.
"Thunder gossip!"
With a loud shout, Yang Ming's right fist, covered in Armament Haki, slammed down from the death line, crushing and exploding all the slime in front of him, revealing a face full of shock underneath.
Torrepol looked on in disbelief and exclaimed:
"How do you know Kaido's signature move?"
Unfortunately, his confusion was destined to remain unanswered, and it became his last words before his death.
With a devastating force, the right fist, wreathed in crimson and purple lightning, pierced straight through Trebol's chest. Faced with this right fist covered in Armament Haki, Trebol's elemental transformation became a colossal joke.
The slumped corpse fell into the endless sea of shadows, and Yang Ming's eyes flickered slightly.
Shadow Alchemy absorbs the corpses of enemies, with a chance to acquire their abilities.
Just now, the shadow stripped the Sticky Fruit of its "sticky" property, but did not inherit its other abilities or the Devil Fruit's flaws.
In an instant, the shadow sea, which was originally like thick ink, changed slightly, becoming like a sticky, ink-colored liquid with a viscosity that was unimaginable to ordinary people.
Anyone who stands on this sea of shadows will find their feet stuck to the ground as if by superglue.
As the most important transit point between Paradise and the New World, the Sabaody Archipelago has become a hub for the eyes and ears of many powerful forces.
When Yang Ming destroyed the auction that Doflamingo was behind in the Sabaody Archipelago, the eyes and ears of various forces reported the situation in real time. However, neither the World Government nor the Navy showed any intention of stopping him. On the contrary, they were happy to see it happen, and it was as if they were sitting on the sidelines watching the tigers fight.
It is likely that the previous incident where Doflamingo, the Heavenly Demon, kidnapped the Celestial Gold and forced the World Government to appoint him as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea greatly angered the World Government and the Five Elders.
If it weren't for the fact that Doflamingo is a Celestial Dragon, any other pirate who dared to do this would have been dealt with by a triple Buster Call, and there wouldn't be so much trouble.
For this reason, the World Government and the Navy were happy to see Doflamingo suffer a setback.
The navy stationed in the Sabaody Archipelago would at most step in to maintain order, and then let the situation develop as it would.
That being said, it doesn't mean they won't be monitoring the area.
The Navy remotely monitors everything happening here by monitoring Den Den Mushi (snail communication devices).
When Yang Ming, using the alias of the pirate Lee Sin, proclaimed himself the successor to the Will of Rocks, the Navy stationed in the Sabaody Archipelago immediately realized that the situation was beyond their control.
Through layers of reporting, even Fleet Admiral Sengoku, who was originally in a meeting discussing the next Shichibukai member, urgently interrupted the meeting and, together with Vice Admiral Tsuru, Garp, and a group of old friends, paid close attention to the battle between Yang Ming and Trebol.
After the battle, the Warring States Marshal frowned deeply.
"Thunderous Eight Trigrams?"
"This is Kaido's signature move, and no outsider could ever learn it."
"Could this person really be the inheritor of the will of Lox?"
Fleet Admiral Sengoku's gaze fell upon Admiral Kizaru, who was drinking tea and reading a newspaper, and he said in a deep voice:
"Regardless of whether this matter is true or false, this person is definitely a great scourge."
"Borsalino, you are the fastest and can arrest this person before he escapes from Sabaody Archipelago. This mission is entrusted to you."
Admiral Kizaru took a sip of green tea and said with a helpless expression:
"It's almost time to get off work, and people still have to do the work. It's such a hassle."
Chapter 73 Your attack is meaningless; the wheel of fate has begun to turn.
The country of Wano, the island of ghosts.
Dark clouds loomed over the city, threatening to crush it. The sky was shrouded in dark clouds for thousands of miles, with flashes of lightning and thunder.
A flash of lightning illuminated a huge, imposing figure, casting a long, slanted shadow on the ground.
The burly giant sat cross-legged on the ground, with dragon horns on his head, black hair flowing down his shoulders, dragon whiskers on his lips, and his upper body bare. His left arm was adorned with dragon scale tattoos, and an X-shaped scar was clearly visible on his right abdomen.
Kaido of the Beasts untied the sake gourd from his waist, tilted his head back and drank the fine sake brewed in Wano Country. As he listened to his subordinates reporting on the interesting events that had occurred in the Sabaody Archipelago, his expression gradually became serious.
"Thunderous Eight Trigrams?"
"Who exactly is trying to harm me behind my back?"
Kaido of the Beasts subconsciously thought of his rebellious son Yamato. Despite having a name given to him by Kaido, Yamato preferred to live as Kozuki Oden. If anyone were to steal and pass on his Thunder Bagua technique, Yamato would be the prime suspect.
Thinking about it this way, Kaido of the Beasts felt disheartened, and even the pleasure he had felt from making a deal with Doflamingo of the Heavenly Demon a while ago faded considerably.
"No!"
"It's also possible that a successor to the will of Lox has truly appeared!"
Kaido of the Beasts suddenly stood up, his back to the thunderous lightning, his face hidden in darkness, with only his eyes wide open like copper bells, looking quite frightening.
Kaido of the Beasts took out a Den Den Mushi and gave the order:
"Jin, you must go to the Sabaody Archipelago immediately. Be quick, you must bring back a pirate named Lee Sin before the Navy does!"
"clear."
Jin's words are concise and to the point.
Whole Cake Island, the Kingdom of Tottoland.
