North Blue.
The kingdom of science and mercenaries, Germa 66.
"Buruburuburu..."
In the office of Judge Vinsmoke, the commander-in-chief of Germa 66 and also its king, a Den Den Mushi that Judge had long kept in storage suddenly rang out.
"This Den Den Mushi is...?"
Judge looked at the Den Den Mushi before him, his expression initially stunned, then his brow furrowed tightly. He didn't answer the Den Den Mushi immediately but fell into thought...
In Judge's memory, whenever this Den Den Mushi rang, nothing good ever happened; he was often met with disaster.
"Sigh..."
After a moment, seeing that the Den Den Mushi seemed determined not to stop ringing until he answered, Judge let out a helpless sigh, picked up the Den Den Mushi, and answered, softly asking, "This is Vinsmoke Judge! Speak quickly if you have something to say..."
"Ehh~"
"Dear Mr. Judge, is this how you greet an old acquaintance?"
"This truly makes this humble woman feel quite sad!"
As soon as the Den Den Mushi was connected by Judge...
A woman's voice, capable of making one's body and mind go numb, immediately came from it.
Just hearing that soft voice made one's imagination run wild about its owner.
"Greeting? I don't have time for pleasantries with you..."
"Also, you might have forgotten. I think I need to remind you."
"Our acquaintance ended completely the moment you chose to leave with Vegapunk and the others!" Judge said impatiently to the owner of the female voice, "So don't waste my time with meaningless pleasantries! I know you're not one to dwell on the past, so get to the point! Stussy..."
"Hehehehe..."
Yes, the one calling Judge on the other end of the Den Den Mushi was Stussy, currently in the Figarland villa within Pangea Castle, Mary Geoise.
Stussy, after hearing Judge's words, first let out a light laugh before continuing, "Since you know that I left with Vegapunk and the others back then, you should also know that Vegapunk is currently cooperating with the World Government, right?"
"Naturally, I know..."
Judge nodded slightly. He had this piece of information.
"If that's the case, then Judge, I'll make a long story short..."
"To be frank, I have an opportunity here that can allow your Germa 66 to establish a connection with the Celestial Dragons!"
"Once Germa 66 successfully connects with the World Nobles in Mary Geoise, you don't need me to tell you the benefits, do you?"
"I just don't know if your Germa 66 can seize this opportunity?!"
After receiving Judge's answer, Stussy slowly revealed the reason for her sudden contact with Judge after so many years.
"What? An opportunity for our Germa 66 to connect with the Celestial Dragons? You're not joking, are you, Stussy! Is there really such a good thing in this world?"
Upon hearing this, Judge's eyes immediately lit up. Holding the Den Den Mushi, he anxiously asked Stussy, "If their Germa 66 could indeed successfully connect with the World Nobles in Mary Geoise as Stussy claimed, the benefits would be unimaginably great..."
"Heh, of course, it's true..." Stussy chuckled lightly and continued, "Among the nineteen Celestial Dragon families currently in Mary Geoise, the young master of the renowned Figarland family intends to form a marriage alliance with a royal family from the lower world to ensure the continued growth of their Figarland family's strength. Do you understand what I mean, Judge?"
"Hahahaha..."
"Of course, I understand what you mean!"
"Stussy, I'm very grateful for the information you've provided me."
"This time, consider it a favor I owe you, Judge."
"If this matter is successful, you won't lack the money you desire!"
"Don't worry, I know why you're telling me this information."
After receiving Stussy's information, Judge, who was never one to smile easily, suddenly burst into laughter and thanked Stussy.
"Ehh, we're all acquaintances, no need for thanks~"
Stussy said, then hung up the Den Den Mushi.
See, talking to smart people is good for this reason...
With just a few words from her, the other party could already figure out her intentions~
Not only that, but the other party was not only eager to marry into her Figarland family, but he would also hold her hand and keep stuffing money into it to thank Stussy properly~
Little did they know, Stussy was just looking for a beautiful sister for herself, nothing more.
Of course, from now on, everyone would be family, all part of the Figarland family.
"Shaya, I've handled it~"
After informing Judge of the intelligence, Stussy turned around, winked at Shaya, and cast a seductive glance that could make any man's heart flutter, softly saying, "Aren't you going to reward me quickly?"
It had to be said, Stussy was too good at this~
"Stop fooling around, the baby in my belly is more important."
In response, Shaya crossed his arms and directly rejected Stussy's 'invitation'.
"Hmph~"
Seeing this, Stussy pouted.
I wonder who was so eager about that back then?!
Shaya inwardly thought, That must be Stussy! I, on the other hand, have always been pure and uninterested in pretty girls since I was young! Just like Jack Ma isn't interested in money, cough cough...
At the time when Shaya and Charlotte Linlin's Whole Cake Island, as well as Vinsmoke Judge's Germa 66, were steadily proceeding with their arranged marriage alliance...
This sea was not peaceful either.
After the legendary Pirate King Gol D. Roger was executed...
Douglas Bullet, known as the inheritor of the devil, completely went berserk!
After Roger's death, Bullet seemed to enter a realm with no one to stop him. Within just four months of Roger's death, he consecutively destroyed thirteen towns under the World Government's affiliated nations, along with two Marine branches! He severely slapped the face of Marine justice.
Among them, the Marines in the New World had organized encirclements against Bullet multiple times, but the results were completely unsatisfactory. Each time they tried to encircle Bullet, they were either easily defeated by him, or he managed to break through the encirclement and escape before reinforcements arrived...
Bullet's insane actions had thoroughly solidified the World Government and the Marines' resolve to capture him! After all, even the Marines' greatest enemy, Pirate King Roger, and Golden Lion Shiki, had already been captured by the Marines and publicly executed!
How much trouble could a mere Bullet, whom the world called Roger's 'inheritor,' possibly stir up?
Unfortunately, the Marines still underestimated Bullet! Bullet was like a cunning hunter, fully displaying the anti-reconnaissance and anti-tracking skills he learned in the Warring States period in his struggle against the Marines!
Whenever the Marines made up their minds and dispatched Sengoku or Garp to arrest Bullet, Bullet would always silently leave the city he was in, board a ship, and flee into the depths of the New World, thwarting the Marines' plans...
And so.
Just like that...
Nearly half a year passed in Bullet's rampage in the Great Pirate Era that Roger had initiated! Time had come to Marine Rookie Year 1499.
Currently, it had been nearly a year since Roger's death that Bullet had been rampaging on this sea!
On this day, he seemed to have finally thought of something and finally stopped his frenzied rampage for the time being...
He was seen sitting in the ruins of the Marine branch he had destroyed, constantly pondering a very important matter...
"How can I surpass Pirate King Roger?"
Bullet looked puzzled.
After a moment, Bullet looked at the ground...
The newspaper that the World Economic Journal had published on the sea about a year ago, detailing how Pirate King Roger was defeated and captured by Marine Hero Garp in White Town, North Blue, which had been carefully collected and framed as a hanging picture in the office of the Marine Vice Admiral of this branch...
And the newspaper published about half a year ago by the same World Economic Journal, detailing how the legendary great pirate Golden Lion Shiki, who broke into Marine Headquarters Marineford alone in the evening, was jointly captured by Garp and Sengoku...
After reading these two newspapers, which brought immense satisfaction to the Marines worldwide, his eyes lit up, and he seemed to have thought of something...
"Roger was captured by Garp, and Shiki was captured by Garp and Sengoku working together..."
"In other words, as long as I can defeat both Garp and Sengoku! I can prove that I have completely surpassed Roger, the Pirate King, as well as the sea legends Golden Lion and Whitebeard! Thus becoming the most powerful existence in this world! Ahahaha..."
Bullet laughed maniacally, as if he had figured it out.
Therefore, Bullet did not flee this time. He directly picked up the Marine-specific Den Den Mushi that was not destroyed in the ruins and dialed the Marine's dedicated line...
"Brrr brrr brrr..."
"This is Marine Headquarters Marineford!"
"New World G9 Branch, please respond!"
"Repeating, this is Marine Headquarters Marineford!"
"G9 Branch, please respond!"
After Bullet dialed Marine Headquarters' dedicated line, the resolute voice of the Marine communicator immediately rang out from the Den Den Mushi.
"This is Douglas Bullet!"
"The G9 Branch you just mentioned has been completely conquered by me!"
"If you want to save the Marines in the branch..."
"Then have Garp and Sengoku come together! I'll be waiting for them at G9..."
Bullet said coldly, holding the Den Den Mushi.
"What?"
After Bullet finished speaking, the Marine Den Den Mushi immediately showed an extremely anthropomorphic, exaggerated, and terrified expression!
Clearly, the communicator at Marine Headquarters Marineford, sitting on the other end of the Den Den Mushi, was completely shocked by what Bullet had just said.
"Crack~"
In response, Bullet had no intention of saying more and hung up the Den Den Mushi.
"Hurry up and come! Sengoku and Garp..."
"Then, let me defeat you and prove myself!"
Following this, after notifying Marine Headquarters Marineford that the Marine branch in the New World had been destroyed and provocatively demanding that they immediately send Sengoku and Garp to capture him, Bullet sat in the ruins and quietly waited for the arrival of the Marine reinforcements...
As for Marineford, the Marine Headquarters, at this moment.
In the Fleet Admiral's office, Kong, the current Fleet Admiral, was practically roaring, "Just a mere Bullet! He dares to bark at us Marines? Does he really think that just because the world calls him the Devil's Heir, he's actually Roger, the Pirate King? And he wants us to send Sengoku and Garp to capture him? What does he take us Marines for? That scoundrel..."
Kong cursed Bullet for nearly five minutes before commanding the soldier beside him, "That bastard Bullet, doesn't he want Sengoku and Garp to go over there? Fine, I, your Fleet Admiral, will grant his wish! Have Sengoku and Garp immediately take fifty warships and go over there. After Bullet releases the captured Marine branch personnel, launch a Buster Call on the island immediately! Even if it costs us a branch, a small island belonging to the World Government! I'll send Bullet, this ignorant brat, to Impel Down!"
"Yes, sir!"
In response, the Marine Major General, who had listened to Kong curse Bullet for nearly five minutes, immediately gave a crisp salute to Kong, the Fleet Admiral, with utmost respect!
After that, the Major General didn't dare to delay for a moment, running out of Fleet Admiral Kong's office with extreme efficiency to relay Fleet Admiral Kong's orders below.
Ten minutes later.
Sengoku and Garp, who had originally been dispatched by Kong to the New World to maintain world peace due to the surge in people going to sea daily with the advent of the Great Pirate Era, making the entire sea turbulent...
Upon receiving the order from Fleet Admiral Kong, they immediately set out from Marine G1 Branch, leading fifty warships, and rapidly advanced towards G9 Branch where Bullet was located...
Several hours later.
When Garp and Sengoku arrived at Marine G9 Branch aboard the latest Marine warship developed by Vegapunk, they saw Bullet sitting on the ruins, yawning.
Behind Bullet were a group of Marines tied up with ropes.
"Bullet, we're here! Release the hostages quickly!"
Sengoku and Garp sat on the Marine warships and said coldly to Bullet.
"Ah hahaha..."
"Sengoku, and Garp! You've finally arrived."
Bullet looked at Sengoku and Garp on the Marine warships, grinning wildly, then walked towards the Marine branch Vice Admiral and the other Marines tied together behind him with ropes...
"What are you doing?!"
The Marine branch Vice Admiral, seeing Bullet's veins bulge as he strained his arms, broke out in a cold sweat on his forehead and asked nervously.
"Of course, I'm sending you back!"
As Bullet spoke, he picked up the ropes binding everyone from the ground and forcefully threw them towards the Marine warships in the distant sea...
"Ah!!"
In the next second, accompanied by one scream after another! These Marines, defeated and successfully captured by Bullet, immediately fell into the sea around the warships where Garp and Sengoku were, like dumplings being thrown into water...
"Hahaha! Come on, Sengoku! Come on, Garp!"
"I've returned the trash you wanted."
"Now let's have a good fight!"
After doing all this, Bullet crossed his arms in front of him, tilted his chin up, and beckoned to Garp and Sengoku on the distant warships.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh..."
Unfortunately, what greeted Bullet next was not what he had imagined – Sengoku, a Marine Admiral, or Garp, the Hero of the Marines – but rather, one after another, seemingly endless cannonballs falling like raindrops from the Marine warships!
"Buster Call activated."
On the warship, Sengoku, a Marine Admiral, held a golden Den Den Mushi and looked at Bullet on the island with an extremely cold expression, calmly uttering five words.
"Boom!"
Immediately, the island where Bullet was located, the former Marine branch, was filled with endless roars and explosions of fire!
