Pirates of the Caribbean
Garp did not hide the fact that he had been attacked by an unknown powerful figure. After recovering slightly, he told Marshal Sengoku about it.
Despite never having met, Garp was forced to use his full strength by his strange and powerful abilities, and the battle ended without a clear winner.
Sengoku undoubtedly took it very seriously, recording all of Garp's words, analysis of the ability, and feelings, and using the Navy's intelligence resources to search for information about this Devil Fruit.
Not many people know about it; besides Garp's side, only Sengoku and Tsuru from the headquarters know about it.
It wasn't that they didn't want others to know, but rather that they simply didn't have any confirmed intelligence about this enemy.
"Through intelligence analysis, we've identified the most likely candidate: the Twist Fruit Devil Fruit, which disappeared from the sea hundreds of years ago, and we never expected it to reappear now."
"The changes in the surrounding space are likely an illusion created by distorting light." Tsuru crossed her hands under her chin; she took this matter very seriously.
It's not just the power of the Twist Fruit Devil Fruit; according to records, it also made a great name for itself on the high seas hundreds of years ago.
This also signifies a potential adversary who may be hostile to the Navy, a world-class powerhouse, and not just any ordinary powerhouse.
There are probably no more than three people on the sea who can pose a life-threatening threat to Garp and force Garp to use his full strength.
"Can you verify my identity?"
"Sorry, we can't find anything. There's too little information, and there's no similar ability on the high seas. It's as if they just suddenly appeared." Crane also expressed her headache and confusion. It's impossible for someone like that to leave no trace on the high seas.
Even if the Navy doesn't know this person's true strength, it can still determine a general range of candidates, instead of having no clue at all like it does now.
"Is he a hidden powerhouse among the common people? Or does he belong to some secret force?" Sengoku felt a headache coming on.
"Should we set a bounty?" Sengoku looked at Tsuru, wanting to hear her opinion.
"Forget it, we haven't suffered any losses. The attack seemed more like a probe. We have too little intelligence, and revealing it wouldn't do us any good. Let's pretend nothing happened for now, but we still need to continue investigating secretly."
The crane didn't want to create conflict and wanted to bring the matter to a peaceful state.
"Alright." Sengoku nodded, then took out a document. "This matter is a bit troublesome, after all, it represents the West Blue Alliance, we can't ignore it."
"At their current pace, they should arrive at Marine Headquarters in about two months. We need to prepare in advance."
At the very top of the document are photos of two men, Seizer and Serizawa, two monsters from the West Blue.
This warship, representing the West Blue, has been quite a spectacle on its journey. Countless people have been paying attention to it, even within the West Blue itself, as this is the West Blue Alliance's first public operation.
It could be described as a tour, but it was also a diplomatic engagement with other forces to expand the influence of the West Blue Alliance.
They are like a traffic code; whatever they do attracts a lot of attention.
For nearly four months, the warship from the West Blue continued to wander the Grand Line. During this time, Serizawa not only visited the Affiliated Nation he had to reach, but also saw many strange islands.
There are no fixed flight routes; you can go wherever you want.
The islands within the naval protection zone, the pirate activity areas further out, or the unknown islands not recorded on the sea charts—the vast ocean satisfied Serizawa's curiosity.
During this period, there was also a lot of news about them.
Kill a nobleman, strangle a mayor, massacre a gang.
He destroyed numerous pirate crews and earned a fearsome reputation.
His most impressive feat was personally taking action, killing Serizawa with a bounty of 300 million Beli with a single Claw Strike. He possessed Two types of Haki and was a Zoan Devil Fruit user.
With a single claw, it easily pierced through the Armament Haki Haki defense, eliminating this brutal pirate who had left many Marines helpless on the Grand Line.
Such a record is indeed terrifying, surpassing even the now -Daimyo Esdeath.
The Behemoth Fruit is also an extremely terrifying ability.
Serizawa was described as reckless, willful, and doing whatever he wanted without anyone stopping him.
These nobles, the people behind the mayor, and the Affiliated Nation also have to apologize and thank Serizawa for helping them get rid of the Nezumi.
Because Serizawa has the West Blue Alliance behind him, and is accompanied by Seizer, a monster comparable to Admiral.
It's simply not worth offending the West Blue Alliance for the sake of a nobody.
Moreover, the West Blue Alliance came with sincerity, wanting to establish diplomatic relations and cooperate in trade. If successful, the supplies from the West Blue would definitely bring them huge benefits, and no one would refuse.
Serizawa has just passed Golden Island and is still quite far from Marineford, but who knows? Given Serizawa unpredictable routes, Marineford might be their next target.
Two months is a conservative estimate; it could be shorter or longer. To sail the entire Grand Line would take at least one or two years.
However, they need to prepare in advance. Before Serizawa arrives, the West Blue Alliance will always inform the forces they want to communicate with that they are coming.
They'll say it again just before we arrive.
The journey has been fruitful for the West Blue Alliance. Various forms of trade have taken place on the high seas, and many islands and kingdoms have their own specialties, all of which are needed by the West Blue Alliance.
Trade in goods is always mutually beneficial. The West Blue Alliance also needs to expand its influence and engage in trade along the Grand Line. With the cooperation of its Affiliated Nation, it will certainly be more convenient.
The number of countries establishing diplomatic relations with the West Blue Alliance is constantly increasing, and its influence is expanding accordingly.
"Be prepared; they probably won't stay at headquarters for long. In any case, we should inform the World Government first."
He sighed. The Navy and the West Blue Alliance were not hostile to each other, but rather had some competition, because the duties of the Sea Guard were exactly the same as those of the Navy.
The World Government and the West Blue Alliance are mortal enemies. While there may not be any conflict yet, it's certain that the West Blue Alliance is built on the foundation of the World Government's decline.
Despite their changed intentions, the Navy remains a subordinate agency of the World Government.
"Isn't today that day?" Sengoku couldn't help but ask.
"That's right, the sea has become lively because of it." Crane couldn't believe that just a movie could have such an impact.
"I must say, that guy's book is pretty good."
That's right, today is a special day, a feast for pirates from all over the world, and even countless residents have entered the novel buildings, the movie city, with curiosity.
Inside the cinema complex, you can watch movies, enjoy food, and experience various entertainment facilities.
Pirates of the Caribbean, the epic work of Marshall D. Teach, captain of the Night Pirates, a legendary pirate, and a great writer.
The book depicts the fantastical adventures of the legendary pirate Jack Sparrow. It portrays a wondrous world, also themed around the sea, but without Devil Fruit or Haki.
Yet it possesses various wondrous powers, including curses, gods, witchcraft, and even immortality, making it captivating.
Possessing the fastest speed on the high seas, the cursed "Black Pearl" is something countless pirates yearn for.
The Pirates of the Caribbean series currently has nine books published and has a huge influence among pirates. Even among ordinary people, many people enjoy reading it as a storybook, especially the humorous and witty Captain Jack Sparrow who survives death time and time again.
The film industry has risen and developed rapidly in recent years, becoming another innovation after the Den Den Mushi (snail Den Den Mushi.
However, it is still an emerging industry, and not many people are paying attention to it.
Until news broke in the Night Sea Domain that, with the Night Pirates' guarantee, the filming of "Pirates of the Caribbean" would take place, it immediately shocked the world, and countless people eagerly awaited the release of the movie.
After a period of waiting, when Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl was officially announced as completed, the second film was already in production.
Under the immense influence of the Night Pirates, movie theaters and cinemas around the world, and all other movies, had to give way to Pirates of the Caribbean.
The level of popularity was unimaginable; a single movie ticket cost as much as 10,000 Beli, and the theater was packed.
The entire area has about four hundred cinemas, which isn't a large number. Each cinema has five theaters, each with one hundred seats, for a total of two million seats.
Play all episodes of "Pirates of the Caribbean," four times a day in one movie room, because the Pirates of the Caribbean is a whopping four hours long.
Based on this calculation, assuming all seats are filled, eight million people will watch on the first day, which means that 80 billion Beli can be earned in just one day.
This is unimaginable; only Pirates of the Caribbean possess such influence, and it is precisely because of the terrifying influence of the Night Pirates that such a result could be achieved.
The astonishing data is truly terrifying.
Two million seats, and they were all completely full.
With the changing times, the pressure of Heavenly Gold has decreased, and although 10,000 Beli is not a small amount, many people can afford it.
Besides, a movie theater only has 500 seats, and people are scrambling to get a seat.
Some residents who didn't live in the cinema went to buy tickets overnight.
The story has been heavily modified, making it more relatable; the Black Pearl itself is a legendary ship.
In the story, young Jack was just a sailor on the ship before he became captain.
At the time, Jack's captain was a notorious poacher and pirate on the high seas, possessing a magical compass that could find anything he wanted.
The Black Pearl was crafted using the most precious woods and by the most skilled artisans.
But at that time, the Black Pearl could not yet be called a legendary pirate ship; it was only one step away from being legendary.
It was severely damaged in the war against the Butcher of the Sea.
Jack, who takes over the captaincy from the old captain and inherits the compass, lures the sea butcher into the deadly, reef-strewn Florian Triangle no return.
Thanks to the Black Pearl's superior performance and the guidance of its compass, the Black Pearl miraculously made it out of danger, thus leading to the destruction of the Silent Mary, the butcher of the sea.
The Black Pearl finally succumbed and sank to the bottom of the sea. Unwilling to accept defeat, Jack sought out the captain of the ghost ship "Flying Dutchman" to rescue the Black Pearl and sign a contract, laying the groundwork for future events.
The Black Pearl's resurrection has elevated it to legendary status, earning it the nickname "Ghost Ship" due to its ability to remain hidden on the high seas and its ghostly speed.
It was from this moment that Captain Jack Sparrow began his legendary life, becoming one of the most notorious Great Pirate on the high seas, until he was betrayed by his subordinates and abandoned on a deserted island.
That marked the beginning of the story.
Legendary warships and pirate ships, each possessing their own unique powers, are a fascinating element of the book.
Not only the "ghost ship" Black Pearl; but also the "ghost ship" Flying Dutchman; the "Blood-colored Ship" Queen Anne's Revenge, with its overwhelming firepower and endless destruction; the "immortal ship" Silent Mary; the unsinkable War God, and so on.
Every legendary pirate possesses a legendary warship.
The vastness of the sea, the kings of the Nine Seas, the nine Pirate Kings, the former Pirate King, the guardian of the Pirate Code, Tig, Jack Sparrow's father.
The ocean is not just one person's legend; this is the ocean as seen from Jack Sparrow's perspective.
With Pirates of the Caribbean airing, who could possibly miss it?
The phenomenal pre-sales and astonishing pre-sale figures have truly brought the emerging film industry to the attention of many powerful figures, making it known to countless people and truly igniting its popularity.
In the future, many people will inevitably enter this industry, and capital will also be involved.
Eight hundred billion Beli a day—even robbery couldn't make money that fast. Countless people are envious and jealous, but all of this belongs to the Night Pirates and their close associates. The Night Pirates were the first to fall into the fray.
At the same time, it instantly reversed the cinema's original loss situation and directly recovered some of its losses.
What's even more enviable is that John Depp, who plays Jack Sparrow, will soon become world-famous.
This member of the Night Pirates is relatively young, at twenty-seven years old. He is a Swordmaster with a low bounty of only ninety million Berries. He is not a Devil Fruit user, but his true strength is estimated to be around three hundred million Beli.
He has a rather carefree personality and isn't particularly diligent; he likes to coast along. Otherwise, his strength would definitely have improved a lot more, and he's not very well-known within the Night Pirates.
The competition for this role was fierce within the Night Pirates and even in the Night Sea Domain, but unexpectedly, John Depp was chosen.
Although it caused some controversy, the ruler ultimately made the decision himself, and no one discussed it anymore.
There have been discussions within the Navy and with the World Government regarding whether to ban the broadcast of Pirates of the Caribbean.
Ultimately, they decided not to ban it because they had analyzed the content of Pirates of the Caribbean and found that it did not contain World Government or a navy like the Marine Headquarters, only the navies of those kingdoms.
There was no explicit criticism of the World Government, and the number of movie theaters on the Grand Line was relatively small, with most concentrated in the Four Seas and the New World.
The movie theater itself has interests belonging to the Affiliated Nation, and in order not to offend the Night Pirates and the Affiliated Nation, the World Government cannot directly intervene.
They could only feel envy and jealousy, and decided to get involved in the film industry; the enormous profits were simply too tempting.
