Two Years; Shifting Powers (2)
Read the best completed novels on [Completed Novel Website]:
Every day is different, and time is like sand slipping through an hourglass, fleeting in the blink of an eye.
Two years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Nothing major happened in the past two years, and the sea was relatively quiet. However, while there were no major events, incidents occurred frequently.
For example, when the Navy moved its headquarters to the New World, Kaido the Four Emperors of the Beasts, stormed into the New Marine Headquarters and was eventually captured. This incident was reported at the time.
However, given Kaido's tendency to court death, it's become commonplace across the entire sea.
With the Navy establishing its headquarters in the New World, this move somewhat restored its reputation. At the same time, the Four Admirals began capturing some scattered pirate groups, without disturbing the territories of the Four Emperors. Only Kaido, being reckless, would actively provoke the Navy.
With the navy developing steadily for a year and a half, the main goal was to restore its reputation. Therefore, it implemented Absolute Justice and severely punished the Sengoku, regardless of the matter. The higher-ups were determined and the lower-level Sengoku naturally followed the policy. After all, half a year ago, the naval commanders had dealt with a large number of lawbreakers and oppressed civilians in front of the whole world.
He had to show the determination of the Sengoku. Two years ago, when he moved to the New World, he talked with Tsuru alone for three nights. In the end, the first thing he did to revitalize the Navy was to clean up the internal corruption.
Therefore, in the past two years, the Navy has been constantly purging bad elements, which has brought in some supporters who have not yet lost faith in the Navy. Although the Navy's power has been greatly diminished again, it has gained vitality and some lost reputation in return.
Good and bad fortune are intertwined. The changes in the navy over the past two years are evident to all on the high seas. So, without anyone realizing it, the navy has not only gotten back on the right track, but has also become more clear-headed than before.
The feeling was indescribable, but in short, the entire naval leadership breathed a sigh of relief. Most importantly, with the recovery of the navy's reputation, the navy launched Second World Military Draft. This conscription exceeded the navy's expectations, allowing the previously depleted navy to quickly regain most of its strength.
The reason for such a high return was not only the navy's determination to eliminate the pests, but also the execution of Absolute Justice. The most important part of this was the letter of apology from the navy's high-ranking officers, led by Sengoku.
That's right. Six months ago, at the New Marine Headquarters, led by Sengoku, the Four Admirals, all Vice Admiral, and Rear Admiral, among other high-ranking officers, held a worldwide exclusive broadcast. Their purpose was to ask for forgiveness from everyone at sea, and then... and so on.
It was this confession that caused the navy's reputation, which had plummeted to the bottom of the sea, to skyrocket, leading to Sengoku issuing World Military Draft.
Although the Navy had been inactive before, its importance could not be ignored. Coupled with the deep-rooted sense of justice within the Navy and the emotional appeal to figures like Sengoku, the Navy was able to revitalize itself.
That's correct. The navy is essential, and even if it's corrupt, its importance is undeniable.
Compared to the navy's open and aboveboard efforts to heal its wounds, the Revolutionary Army could only develop in the shadows, and had accomplished almost nothing in the past two years.
This is the difference. During the Warring States period, the Sengoku could play the emotional card to restore its prestige and power, and there were many other options available. This is the advantage of a positive, organized approach.
As for the Revolutionary Army, due to its different nature, it can only develop slowly in secret, and has not yet recovered from the heavy damage suffered in the Century War.
Therefore, the Revolutionary Army has kept a low profile for the past two years.
Besides the development of the navy and the Revolutionary Army, news of other forces on the high seas also frequently emerged.
Among them, the Supernova are the most eye-catching. Sta Kid, one of the Worst Generation, entered the New World and clashed with Four Emperors Red-Haired Pirates and the Beasts Pirates. He also Awakening Conqueror's Haki and possesses the qualities of a king.
Meanwhile Urouge, magicians Basil Hawkins, Red Flag Drake, Apoo Apoo, Killer, Gluttonous Woman Bonney, Killer Mad Monk are all stirring up trouble in the New World.
Some of the old pirate crews have been challenged by these people, which has been reported by many news agencies. They have analyzed that this is a transition between the old and new eras, and the bloodshed to Future is unimaginable.
These Supernova are incredibly audacious, not only challenging some of the most notorious pirates, but also starting to target the territories of the Four Emperors.
The territories of the Beasts Pirates, the Red-Haired Pirates, and Red the Aloof were all attacked, but only the Kingdom remained unaffected.
All the Supernova tacitly avoided the country, because compared to the country, the other three Four Emperors's power was not as great. Challenging the country might still offer some hope, but against the country, there was absolutely no hope.
They had witnessed firsthand the power of the emperor in the Sabaody Archipelago and during the Century War, and even the most arrogant and domineering among them knew the gap between themselves and God.
This gap is not only reflected in individual combat strength, but also in group strength.
Besides the Supernova, several new pirate crews have also emerged at the forefront of the Grand Line, known as the New Supernova, such as Wet-Haired Caribou, Bloodstained Coribou, and the man-eating Bartolomeo, among others.
However, these New Supernova are still in their earliest stages and are far less ferocious than the original Supernova.
Speaking of the Supernova, we can't help but mention the forgotten Straw Hat Pirates. Two years have passed, and the Straw Hat Pirates, with Captain Straw Hat alone having a bounty of 3 billion Beli, angered God in the Century War, and had their arms cut off, turning them into cripples.
Some speculate that he is dead, others that he is in the Revolutionary Army; in any case, he has been forgotten over time.
Compared to these Supernova, there is another invisible force on the high seas: the Shichibukai.
Of the original Shichibukai, Jinbe, Crocodile, Kuma, Yaksha Donquixote, Doflamingo Gecko Moria either died or were stripped of their titles. In the end, only the World's Greatest Swordsman Dracule Mihawk, and the world's most beautiful woman, Boa Hancock, remained.
The second generation of the new Shichibukai includes Edward Weevil, Gasparde the Popularity King), Breed (the Pet King), Blackbeard, and finally, the Big Bear King.
However, after the Four Emperors, Red the Aloof, captured Popularity King, Pet King, Big Bear King, these three were stripped of their titles by the Navy.
As for Blackbeard, news of his capture by God after the Century War spread throughout the seas, and he was stripped of his title.
A year ago, the Navy re-selected the third generation of the Shichibukai. In addition to the first generation, Dracule Mihawk and Boa Hancock, the Navy also reinstated Crocodile. With the addition of the second Shichibukai, Edward Weevil, there are three remaining.
These three are Bucky, the King of Fools Buggy.
World Destroyer - Bundy World.
Sound Wave Eldrago.
Aside from the World Destroyer, few people know about the King of Fools and Sound Wave. However, since they are recognized by the Navy and become Shichibukai, their strength must be very strong, a fact that the Navy readily admits.
Eldrago was the final boss in the movie "Adventure on the Golden Island," you can go and reminisce about it. I think his Sonic Wave Fruit is very powerful, so I included him in the cast.
Please leave a comment if you know of any other characters with strong abilities from the original work or comics, and I will make appropriate arrangements.
