High-Ranking Navy Officers Find It Hard to Retire
"Shinobu!!"
Seeing Shinobu captured, Kozuki Hiyori cried out in worry, while Denjiro stood in front of Kozuki Hiyori, staring intently at the terrifying Wang Shi.
At the same time, they saw the nightmarish dragon and almost thought that Beast Kaido had come to deal with them personally.
When he recognized the voice of the Kurozumi Orochi, he was so shocked that his eyes widened.
Wasn't Kurozumi Orochi killed by Beast Kaido?
What are you doing here?
A bead of cold sweat appeared on Denjiro's forehead.
He had previously disguised Kyoshiro Kurozumi Orochi's inner circle. After Kurozumi Orochi's death, he and Hiyori both reverted to their original identities.
To their utter surprise, Kurozumi Orochi has now infiltrated their ranks again.
If Kurozumi Orochi were to attack Hiyori in the midst of a civilian group, he might not even have time to react.
"Noisy!"
The Seven-Star Dragon Emperor knocked out the Kurozumi Orochi and brought it back to the Exile Emperor.
Ignoring Kozuki Hiyori and Denjiro, Wang Shi also brought Shinobu back to the ship.
"Wait a moment!"
Why did you capture Shinobu?!
Kozuki Hiyori shouted anxiously, but Wang Shi ignored this weakling.
If Enma and Ame no Habakiri were in Kozuki Hiyori's hands, perhaps Wang Shi would have lingered a little longer.
Unfortunately, the Enma that Kozuki Oden left to Kozuki Hiyori and the Ame no Habakiri that he left to Kozuki Momonosuke have both been taken away and kept by Kozuki Sukiyaki and are not with Kozuki Hiyori at all.
Wang Shi returned directly to the ship, while Issho sighed upon seeing the rioting citizens of Wano Country.
He activated his Press-Press Fruit power, leaving behind a solid staircase for these panicked people, leading directly to the ancient Wano Country below.
Denjiro was utterly shocked. Were these people friends or foes?
Why arrest people and then leave them a way out?
They watched helplessly as the airship continued its flight towards the Flower Capital.
"How so?"
Kozuki Hiyori herself was puzzled. She felt that Wang Shi didn't seem like a bad person, so why would he do this?
···
"Tsk tsk, Your Majesty, that woman was a great beauty, and Your Majesty actually let her go."
Reiju laughed incredulously; this was unlike the Wang Shi's style.
The Pirate Empress immediately glared at Reiju, who had been talking nonsense, her expression displeased.
Now that she, the world's most beautiful woman, is on the ship, this kind of trash certainly wouldn't catch Wang Shi's eye.
"With you all here, what beauty is she? You are the true beauties in my heart."
Wang Shi chuckled softly, too lazy to continue the topic.
He was in a hurry to go to the Flower Capital, and he planned to take that piece of Road Poneglyph with him, so he could just make it public later.
Taking advantage of this brief moment, he began to study Shinobu's Ripe-Ripe Fruit ability.
It's time to take my Toki Toki no Mi ability to the next level.
···
At this moment, on the battlefield of the Pluton Battleship.
The Holy Knights were launching a fierce attack on the energy-depleted Pluton Battleship.
The Big Mom was going crazy; she had come to regard the Pluton Battleship as her own.
She wouldn't allow those bastards to damage her warship.
"Kaido! Run! We need to retreat! Take Pluton with us!"
The Big Mom now needs a large amount of soul power to help Pluton Homie evolve, and she needs time to figure out the energy source that Pluton Battleship wants.
It's simply not worth fighting to the death with the World Government right now.
Once she has complete control over Pluton, that will be the time for their formal counterattack.
"You want to take Pluton away?"
"What are you thinking, you old sow?!"
Saint Garling scoffed, "If the World Government can't get this Pluton Battleship today, no one else can."
Imu in the Holy Land Mary Geoise is still considering whether or not to descend upon the battlefield of Wano Country.
If He were to personally intervene, the chances of reclaiming the Pluton Battleship would be quite high.
As a result, the contingency plan arranged by the Wang Shi was launched, and the undefended Holy Land Mary Geoise was suddenly attacked by Golden Lion Shiki.
Several islands and countless pirate ships and warships were all thrown into the Holy Land Mary Geoise, causing enormous damage to Holy Land Mary Geoise and chaos among the Celestial Dragons.
Golden Lion Shiki also destroyed most of the bubble elevators before making his escape.
Kong, who remained at the Holy Land, was furious at the attack by Golden Lion Shiki.
The chaos caused by the Shiki's sudden attack also temporarily interrupted Imu's preparations to descend upon Gunko.
The attack on their stronghold has greatly angered Imu.
In the Sengoku the Buddha of Marineford, they rushed to Red Port to provide support and protect the technicians who were repairing the bubble elevators.
Without these bubble elevators, supplies from Four Blues could not have been transported to the Holy Land Mary Geoise, which is thousands of meters above the ground.
Given the terrifying consumption of those extravagant Celestial Dragons, if communication were cut off for a week, a food shortage would likely occur.
After all, those Celestial Dragons don't eat ordinary food.
···
Fortunately, the Wang Shi had this backup plan; otherwise, Imu's arrival would have ended the war much faster.
Because Imu had not yet arrived, Dragon's fear had lessened considerably, and he continued to seek opportunities to hunt down the Holy Knight.
Even Karasu have joined the battle, harassing the other Holy Knight.
Ivankov led the Army Commander, including Sabo, Morley, Delinberg, to harass Akainu Sakazuki was still on the ground.
They prevented the Fleet Admiral from intercepting Chief Dragon.
Akainu and Kizaru received a loud order from the Holy Knight and had no choice but to deal with Dragon, the most heinous villain who had killed the Holy Knight.
Seeing Kizaru being harassed and hindered, Akainu didn't want to fight Dragon one-on-one.
The only thing they can do is keep interfering with Dragon.
"Dragon, take it easy, it'll make things easier for everyone."
Kizaru and Dragon exchanged several fierce blows in mid-air at lightning speed. Kizaru opened his mouth slightly and spoke quietly, his face full of bitterness.
He didn't want to fight Dragon to the death, but if Dragon still wanted to kill the Holy Knight, then he would be the one to take the blame.
"Borsalino, aren't you tired of this? You might as well go to the Goa Empire and become Imperial Admiral."
There's plenty of money and little work there; people can cruise and travel year-round, living a relaxed and carefree life, without these Celestial Dragons looming over them.
"The pension is also higher than that of the World Government, and most importantly, it will never be like the World Government, which doesn't allow people to retire even in their seventies or eighties."
"Look at my old man, he worked diligently his whole life, and he couldn't retire even at 76. In the end, he was stripped of his status because of a 'small matter' and couldn't even receive his pension."
Are you confident that you will never make a mistake in your life?
"Don't end up like the Fleet Admiral Sengoku and Vice Admiral Tsuru, unable to retire for life, and like my father Garp, without even a pension."
Dragon also didn't want to fight Kizaru to the death; he knew how difficult Kizaru was when he got serious.
To encourage Kizaru to slack off more, he even became a top salesman, trying to introduce Kizaru to Wang Shi.
If Kizaru leaves the Navy and joins Wang Shi's side, the World Government will lose another arm.
Kizaru was speechless after hearing Dragon's advice.
The difficulty for high-ranking naval officers to retire is indeed a very serious problem, which is one of the reasons why Kizaru is always slacking off.
But was the serious crime that Garp committed a 'minor matter'?
Not only did he raise Pirate King Roger's son, but he also rescued Fire Fist Ace on the battlefield of Marineford.
This is an unforgivable crime; Kizaru would never commit such a crime.
However, the benefits and salaries offered by the Goa Empire did indeed make him a little envious and jealous.
He also wanted to become a leisurely Admiral like the Three Admirals of Goa.
