After King Riku agreed to Luo Wen's Illuminati, the organization was officially established.
At least, besides the president, Luo Wen, we now have our first member country.
What followed closely was the establishment of the Neo Marines.
The Neo Marines was headed by Lord Luo Wen, with Gion becoming the first Admiral, Hina and Tashigi both becoming Vice Admiral.
Nami and Robin also hold the rank of Rear Admiral in the Neo Marines.
Boa Hancock and Moria, on the other hand, went back to their old ways and became the Shichibukai the Neo Marines.
There was no other way; the Neo Marines was newly established and its personnel were too few, so they could only use them to hold the fort for now.
"Gion, congratulations on becoming Marine Admiral starting today!"
"Hina, Tashigi, congratulations as well! From today onwards, you are both Vice Admiral of the Neo Marines!"
Luo Wen beamed with joy as he announced the good news to the three of them.
"..."
Gion and Hina rolled their eyes, both speechless.
The upper echelons consist of Gion, Hina, and Tashigi, while the middle and lower echelons are the Navy of the G-5 Branch. The so-called Neo Marines are all core members poached from the Navy.
If they were taken out on a mission, people who didn't know better would think the navy was out having a team-building activity.
"Wow, I'm Vice Admiral now! Dad, Mom, can you see me?!"
Tashigi was quite happy.
Before being kidnapped by Luo Wen, he was just a sergeant in the navy.
Now that she's Vice Admiral, Tashigi is doing much better.
Seeing Tashigi like this, Luo Wen couldn't help but sigh.
This silly girl is so easily satisfied; it's truly delightful.
Faced with Tashigi's expression, Luo Wen's face hardened, and he said, "Vice Admiral Tashigi, listen to my command! You must resolutely carry out Fleet Admiral Luo Wen's instructions, understand?"
"Clear!"
Tashigi stood at attention, beaming, and gave a perfect salute.
"..."
Hina and Gion, standing nearby, couldn't help but facepalm.
At this moment, Luo Wen looked at them again and said, "Admiral Momousagi, Hina Vice Admiral Hina, you two should learn from Vice Admiral Tashigi, do you understand?"
Hina and Gion exchanged a glance, feeling helpless at this man who had suddenly become so playful.
But who can blame them when Luo Wen is their boss?
We still need to pamper them a bit.
They saluted Luo Wen in unison. "Yes, sir, we will follow Fleet Admiral Luo Wen's instructions!"
"Hahaha."
Luo Wen laughed heartily, feeling extremely happy.
"I have a confidential mission tonight. The three of you will come to my room to discuss it in detail."
Luo Wen issued his first instruction as Fleet Admiral.
"Who wants to go to your room for a detailed discussion!"
Hina's face turned bright red.
What top-secret mission requires us to discuss it in the Fleet Admiral's room tonight?
I think this top-secret mission is pretty shady!
Hey, watch yourself! Gion and Tashigi are your women, but I'm not!
Hina glared angrily at Luo Wen.
"Stop fooling around, let's get down to business."
Gion rolled her eyes at Luo Wen, somewhat resentful.
That scoundrel, always wanting more than he has, he doesn't know when to stop.
"Ahem, we need to get down to business." Luo Wen coughed and said seriously, "Dressrosa Illuminati, so we need to achieve something too."
"Take your men and clear out the pirates around here, to demonstrate our protective capabilities."
Now that King Riku has agreed to join the Illuminati, he needs to reassure his first member.
At the same time, we should also set an example for those who come after us.
The pirates of Dressrosa, just disappear!
"I have no problem dealing with pirates. However, I'd like to bring Nami and the others along."
Gion stroked her chin and said with a faint smile.
She still remembered how Nami and the others had mocked her before. Now that the Neo Marines was established, she had to drag them over to be her laborers for a while.
"Sure, let them get some exercise too."
After thinking for a moment, Luo Wen agreed to Gion's request.
Neo Marines is newly established and is indeed short-handed.
With Nami and the others helping, things can be more efficient.
In any case, with the current strength of these women, they can fight against anyone below the Four Emperors.
Clearing out the pirates in Dressrosa is a piece of cake.
"Then I'll set off."
Gion smiled and set off with Hina and Tashigi.
Then, they rallied Nami and the other women, along with the G5 Marines, and began clearing out the surrounding pirates, centered around Dressrosa.
The waters surrounding Dressrosa.
"Reporting to Admiral Momousagi, a pirate ship has been spotted 500 meters ahead. The total bounty is around 300 million!"
The observer ran to Gion's side, saluted, and reported.
"I understand, move the boat closer."
Gion commanded.
"Yes, Admiral Momousagi!"
The navy responded with a passionate salute.
Working for the Neo Marines gave them a sense of familiarity.
They're clearing out pirates just like the Navy used to, and the officer is the same old officer from before, so it feels like coming home.
In fact, without the World Government pressing down on them, they were even more motivated to carry out their missions.
The warship quickly approached the pirate ship. Gion looked at Nami and said, "This time, it's your turn."
"Knew."
Nami answered listlessly.
Robin, Kalifa, and Vivi chuckled softly, but when they saw Gion's ambiguous smile, they shrank back.
The pirates they encountered in the past few days were all dealt with by Gion.
At first, it was quite novel, but then I lost interest.
So what if I said you were easily taken down by Luo Wen? Do you have to hold a grudge like that?
The girls sighed softly, deciding that they would never again mock their new sisters.
At this moment, the warship had already approached the pirate ship.
Nami took a deep breath and activated the power of her Cloud-Cloud Fruit: "Thundercloud - Thirty Million Volts!"
In an instant, a dark and terrifying cloud appeared above the pirate ship.
Thunder roared, and blinding Inazuma spread downwards like a spider web.
Before the pirates on the ship could react, they were reduced to charred remains. Some of the stronger ones were barely clinging to life.
"Done!"
Nami clapped her hands, looking completely relaxed.
"Well done," Gion praised, then asked the photographer beside her, "Have you taken all the photos?"
The photographer was generously sponsored by Morgans' World Economy News Paper to prepare for the promotion of the Neo Marines.
"Admiral Momousagi, you've taken pictures of everything."
The photographer showed off the film, which contained spectacular footage of lightning striking the pirate ship.
"Alright, continue patrolling. Clear out all the pirates around here!"
Gion said, full of fighting spirit.
"Yes, Admiral Momousagi!"
The navy responded solemnly.
After collecting the spoils and prisoners, the warships set sail again.
Thus, the pirates around Dressrosa had the good fortune to witness Lightning Clouds Overhead (Nami), Golden Wings Across the Sky (Vivi), Dragon's Breath (Kalifa), and One Sword Splits the Sea (Gion)...
"What the hell is this?!"
Faced with a barrage of powerful attacks, the pirates collapsed and screamed in despair.
They had never experienced anything like this before; it was terrifying!
Each of them possessed the strength of an elite Vice Admiral or even higher. Seven or eight of them together, along with over a thousand elite naval personnel, it was nothing short of a massacre.
Even in the New World, this combination is far too extreme, even more so than the Buster Call.
What right or ability do I have to be wiped out by this kind of team?
The pirates perished in despair, never understanding which divine law they had broken until their deaths.
Within just a few days, most of the pirates around Dressrosa were wiped out, and the rest fled the vicinity of Dressrosa in panic.
All pirates now know that this is a pirate no-go zone; anyone who trespasses will be Buster Call the Buster Call.
