Pirates' Max Level System

The other Five Elders were initially puzzled as to why the bald old man suddenly mentioned Garp, as they had not discussed him at all during their previous discussions. However, after hearing what the bald old man said, the other Five Elders all laughed.

They naturally had an impression of Garp, a vice admiral who had contradicted them and didn't know his own limitations. The Five Elders had clearly arranged for such a person.

Chapter 424: Mutual Calculation

The contemptuous laughter was extremely harsh to Zhan Guo's ears. Garp was Zhan Guo's best brother.

Now that his brother was being teased and mocked like this, Zhan Guo felt a surge of blood and anger rushing to his head. Zhan Guo clenched his fists, veins on his forehead throbbing, and his teeth clenched together, making a slight "clucking" sound.

Sengoku hadn't expected the victorious navy to be so rebuked by the Five Elders. Nor had he imagined the almighty Five Elders could be so petty, still harboring a grudge against Garp and constantly trying to make things difficult for him. Nor had he expected the Five Elders to be so ruthless, erasing Garp's contributions to the defeat of Ryuun without a care in the world for his life-or-death service to the navy and the World Government.

Five times the pension? How could such an insult to a meritorious officer be so humiliating? Isn't this a hint for Garp to retire quickly? This is so unfair to someone who has dedicated most of his life to the Navy. If this matter gets out, who knows how the other navy members will laugh at Garp.

Zhan Guo felt that his emotions were about to get out of control and run wild. Fortunately, Zefa, who was next to him, noticed Zhan Guo's abnormality and quickly held him down to calm him down.

"Then I'll thank the Five Elders for their kindness on Garp's behalf. I'll pass that on to him later." Steel Sora thanked him gratefully, his voice tinged with joy. It was as if he were truly accepting the enormous reward on Garp's behalf. Steel Sora was a master of acting.

Then Cybernetic Kong took Sengoku and Zefa away quickly. If they left later, who knows what unexpected things might happen.

"I never heard you mention the Garp incident. You just did it on impulse. It's not a good idea. After all, it's just a small contribution." After Cyborg and Sora had left, the beige-haired old man asked the bald old man. He clearly had a smile on his face, as if he had just watched a good show.

"You didn't stop him." The bald old man didn't think the other party really cared about Karp.

"Stop him? Why stop him? He's a lieutenant general who doesn't know how to live or die. He contradicted us, and the fact that he's still alive is the greatest blessing to him." The speaker was the white-bearded old man.

The white-bearded old man didn't even open his eyes when he said this, but his overbearing arrogance was overwhelming.

"Haha, that's what I meant. He's just a lieutenant general." The beige-haired old man laughed.

In the eyes of the Five Elders, the navy was nothing more than a tool in their hands. A group of watchdogs they kept to better control the world. How could they care less about the joys and sorrows of these beasts?

Even a vice admiral is just a dog with sharper teeth. Even if Garp is the best among these vice admirals, isn't he just a dog? As owners, they can rub and do whatever they want with their pets.

"You guys, after all, have just returned victorious and helped us eliminate Liuyun. We shouldn't be like this. I'm worrying too much." The old man with the scar said slowly.

The other five elder stars knew very well the character of their eldest brother.

He was clearly the most ruthless of the five brothers, with a ferocious face. Yet, he always managed to feign kindness. But in reality, the series of actions targeting the navy, just now, were basically his instigation and orchestration.

"By the way, big brother, is Liuyun really dead?" The question was asked by an old man with beige hair. He had witnessed Liuyun killing the old man with a knife with his own eyes, and the shadow of Liuyun in his heart was the deepest.

"Of course, the bodies have been sent to the Navy Headquarters. If you are worried, you can go and check it out yourself later." The old man with the scar was a little too lazy to answer this question. It was obviously not the first time he was asked this question.

The person who knew best whether Liuyun was dead or not among the navy was actually the bald old man in the room. After Liuyun cast the Other God spell, there had always been a certain connection between the bald old man and Qin Luo.

Not only did the other gods not lift the spell, the bald old man's feeling in his heart also never disappeared. So the bald old man could guarantee that Liuyun was not only not dead but was alive and well.

"By the way, big brother, there is one more thing. Why didn't you tell Ganggukong and the others about the Red Earl? I heard that Ganggukong's disciple died because of it. If we tell Ganggukong, he will probably go and cause trouble for the Red Earl himself." This time it was the bald old man who asked the question.

"He's elusive, incredibly powerful, knows the navy's plans and arrangements, can transform into someone else, and prefers to operate at night. Apart from the Red Earl, I can't think of anyone else with similar abilities..."

"This Red Earl is becoming more and more daring and ambitious. He even dares to interfere in the changes in the navy's high-level leadership and place pawns and puppets in the navy. Isn't this a blatant poaching of the navy?" As he spoke, the bald old man became slightly angry and crushed the teacup in his hand.

"I wouldn't be unaware of what you're talking about. It's just that the Red Earl is currently collaborating with too many forces, including us. So this person can't be touched for the time being. If we want to take action, we must strike with lightning speed, uprooting him and the forces behind him, and not giving him any chance."

The scarred old man paused and closed his eyes. When he opened them again, a bright light shone from them, and he continued, "However, since the Red Earl dared to use the flowing clouds to plot against us, we will not remain silent. That would make us appear easy to bully."

"Once Liuyun dies, we'll have to prepare to deal with Qin Luo. No matter how much Liuyun and Qin Luo don't get along, they always come from the same place. Let's let the Red Earl, Qin Luo, and that mysterious family fight each other first. We'll have people from CP0 to CP9 spread the news that the Red Earl is spying on the power of Liuyun's family bloodline and plotting against the Navy and Liuyun, leading to Liuyun's death."

"Good idea. No matter whether Qin Luo and that mysterious family believe it or not, if they dare to interfere in our affairs, the Red 2.8 Earl will have to pay the price." The bald old man clapped his hands after hearing this.

Although no one knew what Qin Luo had done, that kind of mysterious connection would make the bald old man involuntarily do things that were beneficial to Qin Luo, including putting the blame for the navy's attack on the Red Earl.

That night, the Five Elders commended all the navy officers who participated in the encirclement and suppression of Liuyun in the largest square of Marine Headquarters, Marinford.

All the generals received generous rewards and medals of honor, with the five who made the greatest contributions being Kong Gu, Sengoku, Aokiji, Akainu, and Kizaru. The latter four were even privately called the next marshals and admirals by the navy.

On the same night, news about Liuyun's death and the Red Earl who had disappeared for a year and came out of seclusion to plot against Liuyun spread like wildfire around the world.

Chapter 425: Prepare for a Surprise

"Extra! Extra! The mysterious Red Earl takes action, and the navy successfully defeats the evil thief Liuyun."

The next day, the message sent by the Five Elders was published in newspapers all over the world, and the shouts of newsboys could be heard in every corner of the streets and alleys.

Liuyun's death became another hot topic after Roger's public execution and was talked about by countless people.

"I heard that the god-like Liuyun died. Is it true?"

"You're so behind the times with this news! Everyone knows it now. This morning's newspapers are all about it."

Conversations like this happen in many bars.

"Hey, I heard that the World Government will publicly behead Liuyun's body in the holy land of Mary Geoise in a while." A man wearing a hat in the tavern said mysteriously.

"John, you are bragging again. Which relative told you this time?" The people around him teased John. They didn't believe anything like the "I have a friend" series.

John's neck turned red and he wanted to argue, but no one wanted to believe him and they all made fun of him.

"You are John this time. I also heard about this from my cousin who is an editor at a newspaper. The newspaper is already being printed and you can see it tomorrow." A well-dressed middle-aged man walked into the bar. Everyone was more convinced by what he said.

"That's impossible. They even beheaded the corpse. I've never heard of that before. How much does the World Government hate Liu Yun?"

The others were also curious, so they tactfully ordered a glass of wine and placed it in front of the middle-aged man. John, who had been questioned earlier, looked at the wine with envy. Wasn't it just for this drink and the feeling of being surrounded by people that John had rushed to the tavern the moment he heard the news?

The middle-aged man was clear-headed and had no intention of giving the wine to John. What belonged to him was his, and there was no need for charity.

The middle-aged man drank his wine contentedly and said softly, "I wouldn't believe anyone else, but Liuyun is different. He destroyed the Holy Land and blackmailed the World Government. Otherwise, why would he be called the greatest villain after Roger?"

The World Government's execution of Liu Yun's corpse wasn't exactly a secret; it was widely circulated between the World Government and the Navy, and anyone interested could easily find out. The specific execution date was set for the day the Navy fleet returned from O'Hara.

On the day of the execution, the World Government also plans to invite various forces in the world to watch the ceremony, and then take the opportunity to push the momentum of the Navy and the World Government to the extreme.

In a certain sea area in the New World, Phoenix Marco returned to the Whitebeard Pirates with that day's newspaper.

"Dad, something big has happened. Liuyun is dead." Marco rushed to Whitebeard and handed him the newspaper.

After reading the newspaper, Whitebeard said with a complicated expression: "How true do you think this story is?"

"It should be correct. The Navy has already informed the whole world. It is said that Liuyun's body will be publicly beheaded. There is no need for the Navy to lie about this. Moreover, the shadow of the Red Earl is behind Liuyun's death." Marco told all the information he had obtained.

"The Red Earl? He's a dangerous man. He shows up again after a year and makes such a big move. You all should be careful of him. As for Liuyun's matter, let's wait and see for now."

Whitebeard's attitude towards Liuyun is actually quite complicated. Liuyun once blackmailed the Whitebeard Pirates, hurt Marco, and also saved the Whitebeard Pirates from destruction.

Whitebeard had a premonition that Liuyun was not dead. Having witnessed Liuyun's power, Whitebeard clearly understood how terrifying he was. This gap in strength could be made up by simply increasing the number of navy troops.

At the same time, the Big-mom Pirates and Kaido's Beasts Pirates also received the news of Ryuun's death.

After confirming the accuracy of the news, Big Mom directly ordered desserts and the four generals led their numerous pirate groups to Fishman Island.

Before leaving, Big Mom announced, "Not only must you seize control of Fishman Island, but you must also capture Liuyun's men and women. I must treat them well to appease my hatred."

The Big Mom Pirates' actions were not kept secret, and all the pirates with some connections in the New World knew about it. However, other forces were still waiting and watching for the Fishman Island pie, and did not intervene.

"Brumuru."

"Hello, I'm Doflamingo. Okay, got it."

On an island somewhere in the New World, Doflamingo received a call.

In the year 1496 of the Sea Circle Calendar, six years had passed since Doflamingo set sail. During these six years, Doflamingo had been working tirelessly to become "the best among men."

With his inherent cunning and ruthless nature, Doflamingo not only gained a great reputation in the North Sea, but also spread his name to many interested parties. A former Celestial Dragon who is now a great pirate, how interesting.

"Young Master, who called you?" Doflamingo's loyal lackey Trebol stood aside.

"Those bastards of the World Government actually asked me to oversee the public beheading of Ryuyun's corpse. Haha, so interesting." Doflamingo laughed wildly and couldn't help but think of the scene he saw at the execution of Pirate King Roger.

Liuyun's unrivaled strength left a profound impression on him.

"Young Master doesn't plan to participate? Yes, there might be a trick." Trebol remembered that Doflamingo's family wanted to restore their identity as Celestial Dragons but were rejected.

"No, I absolutely must participate in something this fun," Doflamingo said with a hearty laugh. Then, as if changing his expression, he suddenly said in a sinister tone, "Please contact the Red Earl for me. This old fox has been gone for so long, and he must be planning something big this time. We could work with him."

Neither Doflamingo nor the Red Earl are complete pirates, but more like weapons dealers, assassin organizations, and mercenaries at sea. However, the Don Quixote family is a team, while the Red Earl is a single person.

Regardless of what happened outside, Qin Luo returned to Fishman Island with Lu Jiu and Tao Tu. As for the fake Olivia, she had disappeared when Liuyun was besieged by the Navy's strongest assembly order.

Qin Luo explained everything to Lu Jiu and Tao Tu on the way. So in addition to the title of "pervert", Qin Luo was also given a new title of "pervert" by Tao Tu.

"God Liuyun, you're finally back. Rumors are circulating that you were killed by the navy. The navy is despicable, fabricating rumors out of thin air. I'll go out and tell everyone the truth right away."

As soon as Liuyun returned to his residence on Fishman Island, King Neptune came running over to ask for a meeting.

"No rush. Don't you understand yet? This world cannot be explained with words, it can only be explained with fists." Qin Luo had his own plans. The navy was going to publicly execute his corpse, so he would give them a surprise.

Chapter 426: Shura Field

"So, Liuyun Shen, what are your plans? Ever since the false news of your death spread, the pirates on Fishman Island have become increasingly restless."

King Neptune, who was speaking, looked timid and coy, just like a wronged young wife. When did the King of the Mermen become so cowardly? Is he still the "Great Knight of the Sea" who would rather die than surrender to his enemies?

Seeing the Knight and Neptune, Qin Luo felt like he had misjudged them.

Neptune was in a bitter mood. Ever since the opening of the underwater tunnel, more and more pirates had entered Fishman Island. Fishman Island gradually replaced the Sabaody Archipelago as the center for pirates to gather and trade.

The problems this change brought were equally obvious. The already inadequate Fishman Island army was helpless against the more numerous and powerful pirates.

Thus, the former Fishman Island defenses gained a mysterious legacy from another world, transforming into the glorious city guards. The military became a police force that arrived late. Normally, the pirates, fearing the Floating Clouds that protected Fishman Island, remained restrained, and the Fishman Island army was barely able to cope.

But recently, the pirates have become increasingly restless, gradually pushing the boundaries of Fishman Island. If it weren't for the "Sun Pirates" led by Fisher Tiger, Jinbe, and Arlong in Fishman Street, these pirates would have rioted long ago.

Even so, Neptune knew that if things continued like this, the day of a pirate rebellion would not be far away.

"Hmph, just some clowns. I was too kind before. Even if it's a riot, I'll eliminate all these evildoers hiding in Fishman Island at once."

Qin Luo, who had been in the pirate world for some time, had seen all kinds of pirates and had seen the true face of pirates. No matter how much brotherhood there was, these people were essentially desperate criminals who would do anything for money and power. Most pirates were ungrateful and could not be tamed.

Qin Luo brought them an underwater tunnel that allowed them to freely enter and exit the new world in the second half of the Grand Route, which was more convenient and safer.

Qin Luo gave them the Fishman Island, which was convenient for trading and resting. There were no Celestial Dragons and no navy.

The pirates accepted the favors Qin Luo brought, but as soon as they had a chance, they would gather like sharks smelling blood. This time, Qin Luo was going to cut off all the claws that reached Fishman Island and kill one to warn the rest.

"Alright. But God Liuyun, the defense of Fishman Island is a little insufficient."

Declaring his army's strength to be weak was no different from calling himself incompetent to others, let alone the Cloud God. Neptune didn't want to speak, but he cared more about his people's lives and didn't care about face.

"I know what you mean. On the way back, I have already informed Itachi and Hidan. If there is a situation that is difficult to deal with, they will take action." Qin Luo was thinking about Itachi and Hidan, plus the Nine-Tailed Fox and Tsunade who had been staying on Fish-man Island. Even if the Four Emperors came, it should not matter much.

"Master, you called us." As soon as Qin Luo finished speaking, Itachi and Feiduan appeared in a corner of the palace. It seemed that they had arrived a long time ago and were just waiting on the side.

Neptune was startled by the sudden sound and presence within the palace, but he relaxed when he saw Itachi and Hidan. He didn't know Hidan's true strength, but he had witnessed the Nine-Tails and Itachi easily defeat Cracker and Katakuri, two of the Big Mom Pirates' four generals.

Feiduan is wearing the same windbreaker as Itachi, and they are both members of the Ryuun Pirates. No matter how you look at it, their strength cannot be too bad.

"Well, you will stay on Fishman Island for a while. The pirates down there may be restless recently. Whether to take action is decided by you and Tsunade." Seeing that everyone was present, Qin Luo issued an order and appointed Tsunade as the person in charge.

After all, Tsunade has been Hokage, so she should be more familiar with this business.

When talking about business, Tsunade was very serious and would not say a word unless she had to interrupt. Suddenly, she heard Qin Luo mention her name and gave her full authority to handle the safety of Fishman Island. Tsunade's heartbeat suddenly accelerated. She felt Qin Luo staring at her with a burning gaze, and a blush appeared on her face.

"Well, that's it. By the way, how's your devil fruit collection going?" Qin Luo was asking Itachi and Hidan, as well as Neptune. It had been a while since he left Fishman Island, and he didn't know how his devil fruit collection was going. He was very short of points.

"Five." Itachi immediately took out five Devil Fruits. Hidan whistled while looking out the window, apparently with no success. The performance gap between the two salesmen was quite large.

"Liuyunshen, the paid service for beating up Celestial Dragons is still doing well lately, but the devil fruit payments have dropped significantly." Neptune hadn't dared to bring this up. He could tell that Liuyunshen valued the devil fruit more than the money. But this wasn't something he could control.

Sure enough, Qin Luo had long foreseen that although the paid service of beating up the Celestial Dragons was popular, once the initial novelty wore off, the number of customers eager to use Devil Fruits as payment would decrease, and he had to find a stable way to harvest Devil Fruits. Otherwise, the system would be a bottomless pit.

"Let's talk about it later." Qin Luo ended the meeting and asked Itachi and Neptune to take back the devil fruits. This amount of devil fruits was not enough to fill his teeth.

After everyone left, Tsunade directly hung on Qin Luo from the front.

"What do you mean? Why do you want me to be responsible? You're leaving again without me. Can you take me with you this time?"

Tsunade's resentful voice, the two indescribable things pressing on Qin Luo's chest, and the faint fragrance, Qin Luo almost surrendered.

As the saying goes, "one wave has not yet subsided, another wave rises." Qin Luo was also bombed from behind by an unknown organization. Taotu trotted, hugged Qin Luo from behind with inertia and speed, and two nuclear bombs exploded directly behind him.

"There's nothing I can do about it, Sister Tsunade is responsible for defending Fishman Island, but you will take me with you, right?" Taotu's voice and exhaled breath sprayed directly on Qin Luo's ears.

Faced with such a Shura field, Qin Luo said that it would not matter if it happened a few hundred times. The first one to lose control was Qin Luo's little brother. He only hoped that the two "enemy forces" would abide by the international convention of "treating prisoners well."

Peach Rabbit is usually quite tsundere, and if Tsunade hadn't taken the initiative first, she wouldn't have used such a killer move. It's a pity that Peach Rabbit will be disappointed now.

"Momotu, you should stay on Fishman Island this time. I have a lot of places to go next, so it's not convenient to bring someone with me."

This is the truth. Ever since the fake Olivia disappeared, Qin Luo has completely lost any clues about Olivia and can only look for her everywhere.
