The Five Elders believed that a Straw Hat Pirates crew, and the CP0 agent thought so too. He openly came to Water 7 without any attempt to hide himself, and then he was discovered by Rebecca.
The aura was so strong, like a guiding light. It was a pure white suit and cape, and the direction it was heading was the Straw Hat Pirates's residence. Even if Rebecca was slow-witted, she would know what was going on.
Rebecca immediately stopped the CP0 officer, who recognized Rebecca as well. After all, the two had dealt with each other quite a bit before, and CP0 had a deep understanding of Vic's group, despite their previous adversarial relationship.
However, since the two sides are now in a cooperative relationship, it is not advisable to make a move lightly. The masked CP0 member thought so too. Although he was not exactly respectful, he still politely asked Rebecca why she had stopped him.
Rebecca didn't want to talk to him anymore. It was broad daylight and they were in the middle of the street, so it was better to finish the fight quickly. It wasn't the time for their Vic Pirates to fall out with the World Government, so Rebecca made her move immediately.
A burst of Conqueror's Haki was released, and while the CP0 was still reeling, the attacker continued to strike. A ground scroll controlled the earth, dragging the attacker underground to prevent him from speaking or making a sound. Next, the sword box on the back opened, and three flying swords wrapped in Armament Haki flew out, instantly piercing into the ground where the CP0 was!
In the blink of an eye, Rebecca unleashed her three attacks almost simultaneously, taking the CP0 officer by surprise. He had no time to react before being dragged underground, and then three flying swords imbued with Armament Haki pierced through him.
One sword pierced his skull, another his heart, and yet another his throat. All three flying swords were deadly attacks; a single strike would have been enough to kill. This time, all three struck, and the CP0 officer was beyond dead.
Rebecca retrieved her flying sword and waved her hand, leveling the ground in front of her once more. It was as if nothing had ever happened; the murder and burial were carried out in one smooth motion, as if she had practiced for many years.
"Oh my gosh! Miss Rebecca! Your murder and burial is practically an art form, it's truly captivating!"
No wonder Mr. Garp didn't come; he'd come prepared! Between my disciple and that guy Vic, who's more important to him?
Just as Rebecca was about to leave after killing and burying the body, she heard a familiar voice, a voice that was languid, violent, and somewhat restrained.
When Rebecca looked over, she saw a fierce glint in Aokiji's eyes, but it vanished in an instant, and he soon returned to his languid state.
Rebecca could sense that Aokiji had wanted to attack her for a moment, but then gave up for some reason. Aokiji's aura was indeed very imposing for a moment, but it was only for a moment. Rebecca wasn't afraid of Aokiji, but she was a little wary.
"Who knows? Maybe even Vice Admiral Garp himself doesn't know. There's no need to make a comparison at all."
As for such matters, it's more convenient for us pirates to handle them. If a Marine Admiral were to attack someone from the World Government, the repercussions would be enormous!
Although you can take him down quickly, there's no guarantee that others won't see it. Then you'll end up like us. You'd better hurry and leave this island; don't become my scapegoat!
Rebecca really didn't know whether Vic or Aokiji was more important to Garp. Only Vic and Garp themselves knew how close they were, maybe with Dragon at most. Rebecca couldn't judge for sure, and it wasn't easy to say.
Then Rebecca pointed to a patch of ground that was slightly different in color and changed the subject. Fortunately, both of them were powerful individuals with Devil Fruit abilities, and they could appear and disappear without a trace. Ordinary people would not be able to find their tracks at all, but it was still necessary to be careful.
"Alright! I'll leave this troublesome place then. Give my regards to Vic for me!"
Aokiji was quite nonchalant; he draped his coat over his shoulder, turned, and walked away. As he spoke, he waved to Rebecca with his back turned, knowing that he no longer needed to worry about this; with Rebecca there, there wouldn't be any major problems.
He acknowledged Rebecca's strength, but he was puzzled by how much stronger Rebecca had become. Rebecca wasn't this talented when she was in the Navy, and now she had even Awakening Conqueror's Haki. Truly, one should look at a person with new eyes after three days of separation!
The World Government didn't notice anything amiss at first, since Water 7 had been very peaceful with no major battles reported, so the intelligence reports from the lower-level agents were naturally normal.
When the World Government lost contact with the CP0 agent, they finally realized something was wrong. They reported the matter to the Five Elders for a decision, and the Five Elders immediately assigned a Shichibukai to take action, determined to wipe out the Straw Hat Pirates in Water 7 7!
Enies Lobby not only suffered heavy losses this time, but also embarrassed the World Government. This crime is even more serious than destroying a Affiliated Nation.
However, by the time the Shichibukai arrived at Water 7 7, the Straw Hat Pirates had already left. The two shipbuilding masters were incredibly fast at building ships, almost unbelievably so.
Almost a week has passed since then, and all the preparations could have been completed. How could the Straw Hat Pirates still be here? Moreover, when they left, they had gained another member as a crew member, so Usopp no longer needed to work as a shipwright.
After leaving Water 7, the Straw Hat Pirates went through several more adventures and finally arrived at the Florian Triangle. This place is shrouded in thick fog all year round, with no sunlight penetrating through, and the nights are so dark that you can't see your hand in front of your face, making it terrifying and eerie!
In the thick fog, the Thousand Sunny encounters a ghost ship, on which lives a solitary skeleton. The meeting of the two ships marks the official start of the story of Thriller Bark!
Similar to the original story, it's a tale of losing and regaining one's shadow. The enemy is another Shichibukai Moria, who was once a ruthless individual who dared to confront Kaido head-on, but became despondent after Kaido wiped out all his crew.
After being defeated by Vic once again, Gecko Moria truly became a couch potato, hiding in the Florian Triangle and making zombie figurines for fun. Because his will was repeatedly broken by Kaido and Vic, Moria, who had been holed up in this sea for a long time and could not use his Haki, had completely lost the ability to mobilize the Haki within him!
As mentioned before, Haki needs to be mobilized by willpower; the stronger one's willpower, the more Haki one can mobilize within one's body.
This has little to do with the amount of Haki stored within you. Even if someone has a large amount of Haki stored within them, if that person's willpower is only average...
Therefore, he can't mobilize much Haki with each move. The large amount of Haki in his body can only increase the time he can use Haki in battle, but it can't increase the effective attack power during battle!
