Wano Country sea area.
On the deck of the first large warship, Sakazuki, wearing a cape of Admiral, stood proudly at the bow of the ship, looking solemnly at the waterfall in front of the ship that blocked the warship's progress.
This is a natural barrier. Unless the warship can fly, it is impossible to go upstream and enter Wano Country.
It is precisely because of the existence of this natural barrier and Wano Country's policy of isolation that the country is covered with a veil of mystery.
Over the years, Holy Land has been sparing no effort to invite Wano Country to join World Government and become Affiliated Nation, but has been rejected by Wano Country's current general Kurozumi Orochi.
Kurozumi Shogun Orochi not only refused to join World Government, but also relied on the strong support of Yonko Kaido to kill many CP0 agents who infiltrated Wano Country. But even so, Holy Land could not do anything to Wano Country.
"Sakazuki Admiral!"
An accompanying naval officer quickly came behind Sakazuki and said anxiously, "We have tried to control the large fish in the sea to pull the warship up, but it has failed. The warship is too huge! If we want to go upstream, we must abandon the warship!"
"I can bring some people up!"
At this moment, Jinbe, who was standing behind Sakazuki, stood up, faced the Headquarters Officer standing neatly on the deck, and said enthusiastically, "Who wants to make the first ascent of Wano Country with me?"
"Me!"
"Me!"
None of the naval officers dropped their guard and all took a step forward.
Seeing this, Jinbe's mouth twitched slightly.
It's true that he can take some people upstream, but he didn't say he could take everyone upstream.
He was thinking this in his heart, but Jinbe did not show it. Instead, he simply pointed at several of the officers, "You, you, and you... follow me!"
Before he finished speaking, Jinbe jumped off the deck and fell into the sea without any hesitation.
Before Jinbe could surface, all the officers on the deck, whether they were ordered or not, jumped into the sea immediately after him.
"I...%￥..."
As soon as he surfaced, looking at the figure jumping into the sea like a dumpling, Jinbe almost couldn't help but curse.
What's going on with the navy today? Aren't they afraid of death?
Complaints are complaints, but Jinbe dare not neglect them, because the sea currents here are very turbulent, and if you don't pay attention, these naval officers will be sucked into the seabed and die before they can escape.
Jinbe, who was on the sea, looked around. Seeing that the naval officer who had jumped into the sea was about to be swept away by the current, his eyes froze.
"Fish-Man Jujutsu·Shui Xin·Ocean Current Shoulder Throw!"
As the decisive voice of Jinbe came out, the already turbulent sea surface suddenly accelerated and formed a current in an instant, which wrapped all the naval officers floating on the sea surface and went up against the air, falling towards Wano Country above the waterfall.
Rumble--
The sea current traveling upstream drew an arc in the air and crashed into the sea above the waterfall. The naval officer wrapped in the current fell out and splashed on the sea surface.
"Well done, Jinbe!"
Sakazuki standing on the deck glanced at Jinbe floating on the sea, and gave a rare compliment.
"Jinbe, send us up too!"
Before Jinbe could react, Morgan, who followed Sakazuki, immediately rushed to the edge of the deck, then pulled Moria, who was standing next to him in a navy uniform, and jumped off neatly.
"Ah--"
He never expected that Morgan would pull him together and jump into the sea. The unprepared Moria suddenly howled like a killing pig, "Captain Morgan, I... I am Devil Fruit user... Gulu~"
Before he finished speaking, Moria was given a mouthful of sea water because he fell into the sea.
"Lord Moria!"
When Perona, who was holding an umbrella and floating on the deck, saw this, he was directly fucked and made an emoticon. With tears flying, he shouted at Sakazuki, "Sakazuki Admiral, Lord Moria has fallen~"
Rumble--
Amid the shouts of Perona, Jinbe once again launched his Fish-Man Jujutsu to roll up a Knock Up Stream, sending Morgan and Moria up as well.
Seeing this, Perona didn't think much and immediately flew up with a small red umbrella to follow the current.
On another warship, the navy officers and soldiers who had long been sharpening their swords and wanted to rush up to Wano Country like a waterfall all looked envious. Many soldiers even yelled and shouted because Perona flew up.
"Hey, hey, hey, she can fly, why doesn't she take us up there?"
"What are you thinking? She is still a child, how could she fly up there with strong men like us!"
"However, if I could fly, I would definitely win First Ascent!"
"What is the power of First Ascent?"
"You don't even know First Ascent's merits, are you Lord Marshal's soldier?!"
"Hehe, we brothers used to be members of the affiliated forces of Big Mom Pirates. Since we have never committed any crime before, and Akainu's Fleet suffered a serious attrition in the battle with Beasts Pirates, the naval officer in charge of our brothers incorporated us into Akainu's Fleet."
"Quick, quick, let me tell you brothers, what is the power of First Ascent?"
"Ahem, this has to start from the time when Lord Marshal was still Vice Admiral! At that time, we followed Lord Marshal to conquer the bandits, Lord Marshal established Four Great Military Merits, which are First Ascent, trap, Slay General, and Seize Flag."
"When chasing pirates, the first person to kill the pirate ship will receive the merit of First Ascent. The person who rushes into the pirate ship and fights with the pirates at close range and assists the subsequent boarding soldiers will receive the merit of trapping the enemy."
"As for Slay General and Seize Flag, they are both literal meanings. The first person to kill the pirate cadres will get the merit of Slay General, and the first person to capture the pirate flag will get the merit of Seize Flag."
"A total of Four Great Military Merits. If you die in battle, you will receive a generous pension sent to your family. If you capture even one of Four Great Military Merits alive, you will be a naval hero!"
"The navy actually has such a reward system? Oh wow, if I had known we would have joined the navy. Don't you know that ever since we joined the pirates and became an affiliated force of Big Mom, we have been on tenterhooks all day long. Every time we surrendered one month of life to Charlotte Linlin, we were even more afraid that the damn old woman would eat us!"
Navy Sergeant, who popularized Four Great Military Merits to several recruits enrolled in Akainu's Fleet, said with pride, "The navy did not have such a military merit reward system before, until Akira Marshal appeared."
Seeing Navy Sergeant's reaction, the new recruits who were recruited into Akainu's Fleet also became enthusiastic.
"Damn it, with Lord Marshal like this, even death is an honor!"
"Brothers! With First Ascent's achievements, we have no chance!"
"The next merit of trapping the enemy, the merit of Slay General and the merit of Seize Flag will definitely belong to us!"
"Follow me!"
Before he finished speaking, the first man jumped into the sea, and the others jumped in without any hesitation.
At the same time, a huge carp flashed out from the bottom of the sea. It carried the few people who jumped off the deck on its back and headed straight for the sea current waterfall on the opposite side.
The few people who successfully landed on the back of the carp shouted in unison with great enthusiasm under the envious eyes of all the soldiers on the other warships, "Come on, big carp!"
"How many of our brothers today--"
"I want to fish over the dragon's gate!"
