Mary Geoise's Security Problem!

Within Moon Chamber.

Imu was aware of what was happening outside, but after a brief look, he stopped paying attention because he was thinking about something very important.

The security problem in Mary Geoise!

Whether it's Rayleigh's intrusion just a few days ago or Fisher Tiger's rampage in the original timeline, both have proven that the several-thousand-meter-high Red Line walls are simply unable to stop some powerful and determined individuals from climbing up.

In this respect, both the Celestial Dragons and CIPHER POL are overconfident!

To this end.

He has ordered the Five Elders to resolve this issue, at least to ensure that the edge of the Red Line within the Mary Geoise region is under control, and to prevent a recurrence of situations where one can simply climb to directly enter the Holy Land!

However, Imu felt that simply installing mobile Surveillance Den Den Mushi and strengthening the Holy Land Garrison was not enough. There needed to be a large-scale security system with 24-hour real-time monitoring so that any outsiders could be detected immediately upon entering.

His Haki certainly allows him to do that, but he can't keep it on all the time.

And if he has to do everything, what's the point of having subordinates?

"What should we do? Whether it's through technology or Devil Fruit, we must solve this problem."

Unfortunately, Imu has no clue what to do yet.

Left with no other option, they had to have the CP personnel stationed in Mary Geoise patrol the area in pairs.

Before this, they were mainly responsible for following each Celestial Dragons, essentially acting as bodyguards. Tasks like standing guard and patrolling were done by the Holy Land Garrison.

But now it's clear that the latter is too weak. Although he wears high-quality armor and has good physical fitness, his lack of Observation Haki is a fatal flaw.

How many of those who dared to trespass into Mary Geoise were ordinary people?

While prolonged use of Observation Haki can cause mental fatigue for CP members, can't they take turns?

South Blue.

The Yanade Kingdom.

"You've watched the live broadcasts these past few days, haven't you, Pericles!" The king, wearing a sapphire-encrusted gold crown, looked excitedly at the prince below the stage and laughed.

"Father, I have read it."

Pericles nodded and remarked, "Even the World Noble have freed the slaves of the Holy Land. It seems the World Government is serious this time."

"It must be that the beautiful Queen Otohime's speech that moved the Celestial Dragons!" The king slapped the armrest of his throne, stood up, and exclaimed loudly.

"No mistake, that's definitely it!"

"."

Prince Pericles lowered his head in resignation, feeling that his father, the king Reverie, was acting strangely—no, very strangely.

Mingming had previously expressed considerable resentment and concern about the emancipation of slaves, but upon his return, he immediately ordered preparations for the emancipation of slaves, demanding that officials make a plan.

Moreover, he frequently visited various factories to see the slave workers, weeping and apologizing to them, expressing his shame to the fullest extent.

However, it must be said that perhaps because he had treated slaves relatively well in the past, he did indeed win the understanding and gratitude of some slaves.

Finally, after discussion, it was decided to liberate the slaves in batches, while hiring professional workers from outside, and trying to persuade some of the more cooperative slaves to stay as formal workers and continue working with wages.

There's no other way; this is the best solution we can think of.

Releasing all the slaves at once would be too costly, although this approach would still require a lot of money and would significantly impact production capacity.

But as he said before, being seriously injured and given a blood transfusion is better than dying outright, right?

"Father, why did you summon me here this time?"

"Oh, right, right!"

The king snapped out of his reverie, remembering the important matter, and sat back on his throne, smiling as he said, "It concerns the South Blue Alliance. I just received news that they disbanded on their own."

"Hmm, is it because of that 'One Piece Great Sea Battle' live broadcast around the world?" Prince Pericles pondered for a moment before guessing.

"That's right!"

"You're such a bright child."

The king laughed heartily with satisfaction and said, "Those kings are completely terrified. They've realized that their allied armies are utterly overestimating themselves in front of the Marine Headquarters. So now, the so-called South Blue Alliance is reduced to just the Saint Margery Kingdom, the initiating nation!"

Prince Pericles sighed, "That does avert a war and saves a lot of lives, but the Margaret royal family is probably in deep trouble. The World Government couldn't possibly be unaware of something like the South Blue Alliance, which affects more than a dozen kingdoms."

"Besides, the royal families of other kingdoms that have joined will also be severely punished to some extent. However, the World Government has changed a lot, so it's really hard to say what will happen. If it were before, there would be no need to guess; the entire nation would definitely be dragged to the Tequila Wolf in the East Blue."

The king nodded repeatedly, still shaken, and looked gratefully at his eldest prince.

"Yes, thankfully you dissuaded me back then, otherwise we would be in big trouble now. From now on, you must tell me immediately if you have any opinions!"

"OK."

Pericles, seeing his father become so understanding, thought this big change was quite nice, but he was curious about what had happened.

At the same time.

While the father and son were talking, the only two docks of the Saint Margery Kingdom, which they had mentioned earlier, had been sealed off by Marine warship.

However, it was not a large warship from the Marine Headquarters, but a small warship from the local South Blue Branch.

Although they were not very large, their armor was not very sturdy, and the number and power of their cannons were far less than those of the main fleet, fortunately, a considerable number of ships came—a total of six.

They came from the Marine Branch 125 Base in the South Blue.

This mission was personally led by Colonel Wolf, the base commander of the division, and his adjutant was Colonel Harros, the former base commander of the 194th Division on Xigua Island in the South China Sea, who had been transferred and demoted for accepting bribes from the "Slave King".

He is now a lieutenant colonel.

But Lieutenant Colonel Haros felt no resentment; on the contrary, he felt extremely lucky, exclaiming that headquarters had shown him leniency this time, not letting him even glance at Enies Lobby.

He felt that the Marine Headquarters was doing this out of consideration for his son, Gasparde.

Through contact with his son via Den Den Mushi, Lieutenant Colonel Haros learned that the Special Paramecia Candy-Candy Fruit had been delivered to the other party by Lieutenant Vice Admiral Dragon.

In this respect, he was sincerely grateful for and admired Vice Admiral Dragon's keeping of his word. He had been worried that Dragon might embezzle it, but now it seemed that the son of the naval Garp the Hero was also a remarkable person.

Let's get back to the original topic.

Gasparde was no longer Private First Class at headquarters. Thanks to his Special Paramecia, which was similar to Logia abilities, he began to attract the attention of the higher-ups and was promoted after several missions.

He's now a full-fledged second lieutenant at headquarters, which is equivalent to Major in the South Blue!

"But what is this G-0 branch that my son mentioned? I don't remember there being a G-0 branch in the G-Branch?" Just as Lieutenant Colonel Haros was feeling puzzled.

A group of men dressed in black, exuding a murderous aura, were escorting a group of men, women, and children dressed in fine clothes, but with their hands cuffed, pleading and crying as they walked out from the depths of the island.

Large crowds of people gathered around them in terror, but neither they nor the soldiers of the royal army dared to speak loudly or try to rescue the king and his family, even under the watchful eyes of the navy at all levels.

"Ah, is it over? That was quick. No wonder you're a CP2 expert." Lieutenant Colonel Haros sniffed the air, keenly detecting a faint scent of blood in the wind.

"It seems quite a few people were killed in the palace."

He had originally thought that this trip would lead to a major conflict with the country's army, but to his surprise, from the generals to the soldiers, no one dared to order the artillery or guns to be fired.

This demonstrates the extent of the navy's prestige among nations worldwide at that time!

"Heh, sooner or later, Gasparde will become very strong, just like Vice Admiral Akainu and Vice Admiral Kizaru."
