Half a good person?

Hancock fell silent, looking at the news articles about Bai Yu in the newspaper, and finally suddenly flicked her black hair, leaning back at a ninety-degree angle.

"Hmph, what good or bad people are, that has absolutely nothing to do with me."

"However, since I have nothing else to do now, I'll first go to the Kingdom of Totto Land to attend that ugly woman's banquet, and then head to Kalles Island to see Hawk-Eye slay that arrogant scoundrel. It will be a way to vent my anger for the Shichibukai!"

"If there's nothing else, I'll go back to bathe and rest. No one is to approach without my permission!"

After saying this, Hancock picked up the newspaper and turned to walk into the cabin.

However, this time, there was a noticeable increase in anxiety compared to usual.

Even her usual elegant strides turned into small, shuffling steps.

Seeing this, Marigold and Sandersonia sighed softly.

As sisters, they knew that this Big News Morgans about Bai Yu had probably touched a raw nerve in Hancock's heart.

At least, in their eyes, and in the perception of others, the Celestial Dragons have always been "sacred and inviolable"!

It could be said that Bai Yu's actions shattered this rule with a single punch.

This undoubtedly provided a huge outlet for the resentment and anger that they had been holding in for more than ten years.

That's why Hancock was so deeply shaken.

Finally, he changed his mind and insisted on going to the banquet in the Totto Land.

Actually, it was just something I did on the way.

The real purpose is probably to go to Kalles Island to watch the battle between Dracule Mihawk and Bai Yu.

The speed at which all these outcomes changed was indeed beyond their comprehension.

However, the fact that this trend is clearly progressing in a direction they deem positive is enough.

"All men, change course. We must reach the Totto Land in four days."

As Marigold gave the order, the two sea serpents dragging the giant pirate ship changed direction once again.

Marine Headquarters, Marineford.

A dense crowd gathered on the dock.

In the square not far away, a large amount of food was piled up, forming two small hills about seven or eight meters high.

They have everything imaginable, from roast suckling pig and roasted sea creatures to cakes.

This kind of banquet-like situation would never have occurred at the old Marine Headquarters.

After all, Marineford, the Marine Headquarters, represents the face of justice.

No one can defile it, nor can anyone violate it, and it certainly won't lower its own standards.

However, today was an exception.

Of course, outsiders would be absolutely astonished if they knew.

However, this banquet was not held for War Demon Bai Yu, the Marine Fourth Admiral who had recently gained a fearsome reputation.

On the contrary, they welcomed the two captains of the newly Shichibukai Giant Warrior Pirates.

The source of all this is the Eight Gates Released Formation that appeared on Dorry the Blue Ogre and Brogy the Red Ogre during the World Government's Shichibukai trial yesterday.

This Taijutsu, which is vastly different from the Six Powers, was clearly understood by Sengoku, Garp, and other high-ranking officials to be enough to change the landscape of the seas.

Although in the world of Pirate King, techniques such as the Six Powers and the use of Haki can also increase one's explosive power.

A more direct example is the use of Devil Fruit abilities.

For example, Awakening Devil Fruit abilities, using Haki in combination, etc.

They can all increase their strength several times, or even ten times.

The same principle applies to Kaido's monstrous physical body and Charlotte Linlin's Iron Balloon.

In particular, the Conqueror's Haki's binding effect, when combined with skillful application, can increase the explosive power of an attack by dozens of times.

However, compared to these freaks, not everyone can possess Conqueror's Haki and top-tier Devil Fruit abilities.

For the vast majority of people, this shortcut to improving their abilities is not applicable to everyone.

Within the Marine Headquarters, there are only two people who possess Conqueror's Haki.

Sengoku is the only person who possesses Conqueror's Haki and a powerful Devil Fruit ability.

Therefore, this kind of success is extremely difficult to replicate.

It is difficult to significantly improve the combat capabilities of the naval leadership.

However, the strange Taijutsu that appeared on the Dorry the Blue Ogre and the Brogy the Red Ogre yesterday showed them another possibility.

If Conqueror's Haki and Devil Fruit are shortcuts possessed only by those favored by heaven.

The appearance of the Eight Gates Released Formation showed them the possibility of a rags-to-riches story through hard work and perseverance.

Once, the Six Powers and the Eight Gates Released will be combined.

Perhaps, in the short term, it will be difficult for anyone to reach the level of the Dorry the Blue Ogre and the Brogy the Red Ogre.

However, as long as you persevere, you can reach this level.

It's not impossible.

Once the combat power of the upper echelons of the Marine Headquarters is significantly enhanced.

It's not impossible that this could change the course of history and reverse the power dynamic between the World Government and the Marine Headquarters.

" Garp, is this really going to get the Dorry the Blue Ogre and the Brogy the Red Ogre to teach us their amazing Taijutsu?"

On the dock, Sengoku, standing at the front, glanced back at the mountain of food, his eyelids twitched involuntarily, and then he braced himself and asked.

Sengoku felt like he'd been tricked when Garp suggested this idea.

Why ask anyone but some nobody for advice?

This made the Sengoku feel that the title of "wise general" above their heads was an insult, and that they were now considered mentally challenged.

"Haha, Sengoku, don't worry. I already asked Bai Yu yesterday, and that kid said that the two giants love to hold banquets. This time we've prepared so much with great sincerity. Bai Yu also chose their positions Shichibukai, so they should at least give us some face."

Garp took a bite of the roasted meat in his hand and laughed as he spoke.

"As the saying goes, you can't hit a smiling face. Faced with this novel Taijutsu, I'll have to get it even if I have to beg on my knees."

"In case they're unwilling to teach us, just revealing a little trick can help us go back, study it, and figure out a pattern with some time."

"However, you should have asked the Giant Vice Admiral at headquarters during this time. Looking across the entire Giant Kingdom on the seas, we haven't seen this kind of Taijutsu technique. It seems that this is something created by the Dorry the Blue Ogre and the Brogy the Red Ogre after they disappeared for a hundred years."

"The fact that they were able to create such a unique Taijutsu on their own is enough to show that they are geniuses who come along only once in a century, and they truly deserve to be called heroes of the giants."

The rolling words came out of Garp's slurred speech.

However, it still left everyone in the room speechless.
