Chapter 201: Vice Admiral of the Navy Headquarters, White Dragon! (First update, please subscribe!)
On the rough sea of ​​the New World.

From a long distance, Storm saw a huge bright yellow skull standing on the distant sea.

This skull is carefully carved to look like a pirate wearing a turban. Densely packed and uneven buildings are clustered under the skull. At first glance, they look like a pirate’s mouth of rotten teeth.

This small to medium-sized island was once famous in the pirate world——

Beehive Island!
Storm looked at the Honeycomb Island on the sea in the distance, and the three generations of owners of the island flashed quickly through his mind.

As early as decades ago.

Beehive Island is the paradise of pirates, and it is also the territory of the infamous Rocks Pirates!
But after the Valley of the Gods incident ended.

Rocks D. Zibek is declared dead, and the Rocks Pirates fall apart.

This Pirate Island in the New World eventually fell into the hands of another person, who was also a member of the Rocks Pirates.

Wang Zhi!

If a few more years pass.

This pirate island will also welcome its third owner, one of the future “New Four Emperors” – Blackbeard Marshall D. Teach!

But in this current period of time.

The owner of Beehive Island is still the same person——

Wang Zhi!

“Wang Zhi, this name… It’s as if he came from the same country as Lao Cai and Hollysa… Is he also from the ‘Land of Flowers’?”

A somewhat puzzling thought flashed through Storm’s mind.

Storm knew very little information about Wang Zhi.

He only knew that this guy was a member of the Rocks Pirates, the owner of Beehive Island, and most likely a powerful Devil Fruit user.

After all, Wang Zhi’s strength can be imagined as he was able to firmly occupy the Beehive Island under the noses of the Four Emperors during the more than ten years since the opening of the Great Pirate Era.

But as for other intelligence information, Storm was not very clear.

“Should we ask a ‘professional’? Don’t fight a battle you’re not prepared for…”

Storm was just about to look for that “professional”.

But at this moment, a very abrupt telephone bug ring sounded.

Bru——Bru——

Storm frowned slightly and took out his personal Den Den Mushi from the side.

“Moshimoshi… Marshal Warring States?”

The person who called Den Den Mushi at this time was someone who was totally unexpected by Storm——

Admiral of the Navy Headquarters, Buddha’s Warring States.

“White Dragon.”

No one knew what Zhan Guo was doing, so he asked in a completely official and cold tone.

“Where are you now?”

“New World.”

Storm casually made a clay sofa and sat down, answering nonchalantly.

“what happened?”

New world?
In the Admiral’s office in the Navy Headquarters building, Sengoku couldn’t help but frown when he heard where Storm was.

Although he also knew the tasks and missions of the “Blade Force”, he also knew that Storm was tasked with “rushing into the new world”.

But now is obviously not a good time to carry out that mission…

“Ahem, that’s right.”

Zhan Guo coughed lightly and went straight to the point.

“The government and the navy plan to publicly execute the Pluto Rayleigh who was captured earlier!

“In addition to the power of the government and the navy, the Seven Warlords of the Sea will also participate in this public execution!”

Because of Pluto Rayleigh’s personal reasons.

The World Government and the Navy Headquarters did not take this “Pluto Execution Incident” too seriously.

After all, it was just the execution of an old pirate who had been retired for decades.

It’s not like we’re officially going to war with some emperor pirate group in the New World!
Therefore, the World Government and the Navy Headquarters did not intend to invest too much energy.

Take the Battle of Marineford as an example.

At that time, it was to fight against the Whitebeard Pirates.

The Navy Headquarters summoned 100,000 elite troops from all over the world, including the Navy Marshal, three admirals, navy heroes… and a large number of top naval forces all gathered in Marinford, and even the Seven Warlords of the Sea were forcibly summoned.

So much power comes together just to fight against the Whitebeard Pirates!

However, when executing Pluto Rayleigh, there is no need to consider the issue of the Whitebeard Pirates.

Therefore, the navy did not mobilize its forces in a large-scale manner.

Just like the old man who asked for leave to go home before…

Zhan Guo simply let him go back to the East China Sea.

If we want to fight against the Whitebeard Pirates.

How could Zhan Guo let such a top fighter escape?
But then again.

Pluto Rayleigh is a legend from the old times after all.

Therefore, the Navy still invested a certain amount of manpower in this execution.

It’s not just the power of the Navy Headquarters.

The seven warlords of the sea were also taken into consideration by the navy.

At the emergency meeting of the Navy Headquarters that just ended.

“Summon the Seven Warlords of the Sea and participate in the execution of Pluto” has been unanimously approved.

This is also the fundamental reason why Zhan Guo contacted Storm.

“The Seven Warlords of the Sea are going to participate in the execution of Pluto Rayleigh?”

Storm’s expression became a lot weirder.

“Why didn’t you tell me about this when I caught him before?

“Is this call a mandatory call?”

The Seven Warlords of the Sea are official pirates recognized by the World Government. While they enjoy privileges, they also need to fulfill their obligations.

Every once in a while, the Navy would regularly summon the Seven Warlords of the Sea to attend negotiation meetings. The meetings would often discuss major events in the pirate world, and then divide the Seven Warlords of the Sea’s respective tasks.

Of course, not all of the Seven Warlords of the Sea would care about such a boring meeting.

Many times.

This so-called “Seven Warlords of the Sea Meeting” will only be attended by a few people.

But this only applies to “ordinary calls”.

If the World Government and the Navy Headquarters issued a “forced summons” order to the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

If you ignore the forcible summons of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, you may be directly stripped of your status and power as a Seven Warlords of the Sea, or even thrown directly into the Deep Sea Prison!
So this is why Storm asked “Is this a mandatory call?”

If the navy needs to forcibly summon the Seven Warlords of the Sea to participate in the execution of Pluto.

Storm still needs to revise his previous action plan…

“No, this is not a mandatory call.”

Warring States said in a deep voice.

“If the Shichibukai can come, please do so. If there are other matters that need to be handled, that’s fine too.”

Storm instantly understood what Zhan Guo meant.

to be honest.

Or maybe the Navy Headquarters did not pay enough attention to this “Pluto Execution Incident”.

“I may not be able to go to the headquarters, Marshal Sengoku.”

Storm confessed directly.

“I’m almost at Beehive Island now.”

“Beehive Island!?”

Zhan Guo’s tone instantly rose a lot.

But the next second, he forced himself to calm down.

“Why are you going to Beehive Island? That’s Wang Zhi’s territory! He’s a very troublesome guy!”

“It is because of Wang Zhi on Beehive Island that I came to this island.”

Storm thought about it and asked.

“Marshal Zhan Guo, how much intelligence information does the Navy have about Wang Zhi? Can you reveal some of it?” “…Wait a moment, I’ll close the door.”

Sengoku put down the receiver of the Den Den Mushi, closed the doors and windows of the marshal’s office, and specially found a white Den Den Mushi to prevent eavesdropping.

After doing all this, Zhan Guo picked up the microphone again.

“Major General Storm! Are you planning to attack Wang Zhi?”

“Major General? Oh, yes, there is one more thing.”

When Storm was called by Zhan Guo, he instantly remembered another important thing.

“Marshal Sengoku! I shed blood for the navy, I have made contributions for the navy, and I captured Pluto Rayleigh for the navy!

“My current rank is still ‘Rear Admiral of the Navy Headquarters’. Isn’t that a bit too low?”

As soon as these words came out.

Zhan Guo was speechless for a moment.

In the naval system, if you want to get promoted and make money, the simplest and most direct way is definitely “military merit”!
The more pirates you catch and the higher their quality, the faster your rank will be promoted.

This is a very common sense thing.

of course there are exceptions.

For example, “World Recruitment”…

The “World Recruitment” that can recruit and establish two admirals of the Navy Headquarters at one time…

But that is an unconventional operation.

Let’s get back to Storm’s capture of Pluto Rayleigh.

Sengoku knew that Storm used Pluto Rayleigh to extort five or six devil fruits from the World Government.

When he thought of this, he felt a little jealous (crossed out) – envious.

It is extremely difficult for the Navy to obtain Devil Fruits from the World Government.

But it is that easy for pirates to get devil fruits from the World Government.

“Didn’t you already have six devil fruits?”

Zhan Guo reminded directly.

“That’s your ‘reward’ for capturing Pluto Rayleigh!”

“Hey, hey, hey, it’s totally unreasonable for you to say that, Marshal Sengoku!”

Storm responded rather unhappily.

“I got my six devil fruits from the World Government in a trade! What does this have to do with the Navy?
“I’m from the Navy, not the World Government!
“You, Marshal, aren’t you afraid of hurting the feelings of the lower-level marines by doing this?”

Lower class marines…

You’re a lowly Marine!
Several blue veins popped out on Zhan Guo’s forehead and his face was extremely distorted.

“You have already taken six devil fruits…”

“So the Navy is going to give me six more? I don’t mind at all!”

Storm pretended not to understand what Zhan Guo meant.

“A navy, made great contributions.

“To get promoted or to get rich, one of your needs must be satisfied, right?”

Even Zhan Guo felt that there seemed to be nothing wrong with what Storm said.

If the word “justice” wasn’t branded behind the navy…

“Major General Storm!”

Zhan Guo advised (hu) and admonished (you) earnestly.

“The Navy is arresting pirates for justice!”

“Then the Navy protects the Celestial Dragons, is it also for justice?”

“…”

“Then is it also for justice that the Navy does not protect non-member states?”

“…”

“I have always felt that it is ridiculous to use a universal concept to package the violent military institutions under the World Government.”

“…”

“Of course the Navy can be just! But a just Navy will never be a running dog to maintain the rule of the World Government!”

Zhan Guo took a deep breath and looked up at the plaque beside him, the plaque that read “Absolute Justice”.

“…Major General Storm—”

“Wait a minute! Marshal Zhan Guo.”

Storm interrupted Zhan Guo coldly.

“In the Navy Headquarters, you can call me ‘Rear Admiral’.

“But I’m now a pirate in the New World, you should call me ‘White Dragon’!”

“Major General Storm!”

Zhan Guo still insisted on his previous title.

“Capturing Pluto Rayleigh is indeed a great achievement! He deserves a promotion!

“Due to your special status, your promotion order will not be announced publicly for the time being.

“But from now on, in the name of the Navy Admiral, you are appointed as Vice Admiral of the Navy Headquarters!”

Vice Admiral Hakuryu of the Navy Headquarters!

Storm nodded with satisfaction.

He then skipped the topics of “Navy” and “Justice” and talked about the previous incident.

“Marshal Zhan Guo, how much intelligence does this headquarters have on Wang Zhi?”

“Major General Storm – no, Lieutenant General, are you really going to attack Wang Zhi?”

“Of course!”

Storm said seriously.

“One ‘Pluto Rayleigh’ and one ‘Hive King Nao’ should be enough for me to secure the position of ‘Vice Admiral of the Marine Headquarters’, right?”

Isn’t it a bit too “utilitarian” to say this?

The Warring States Period was speechless.

But after a moment, he honestly told the intelligence information about Wang Zhi.

“Wang Zhi is a member of the Rocks Pirates. He is a sniper in the Rocks Pirates…

“He possesses three types of Haki, especially his Observation Haki, which is very advanced.

“Of course, the most difficult part about Wang Zhi is his devil fruit ability.

“Wang Zhi is the user of the [Parahuman Teleportation Fruit]!”

About “Wang Zhi”.

The prototype of his identity should be “Wang Zhi”, a pirate in the Ming Dynasty who introduced cannons to “Wano Country”.

So according to this point, [Second Setting] Wang Zhi is a “sniper”.

As for his ability of [Teleportation Fruit].

It is a [second design] based on Van Oka of the Blackbeard Pirates.

Van Oka obtained the [Teleport Fruit] within two years after the end of the Marineford War.

When he appeared on Egghead Island, he had not yet mastered the ability of the [Teleportation Fruit] very well, probably because he had just obtained the [Teleportation Fruit] not long ago.

Considering the actions of the Blackbeard Pirates, the [Teleportation Fruit] may have been obtained after the end of the Rocky Port incident.

If this is the case, then Van Oka’s [Teleportation Fruit] is most likely from Wang Zhi.

Similar situations include the [Bingbing Fruit] and the [Pegasus Fruit].

Blackbeard’s “old crew” probably gained their abilities by hunting other people’s devil fruits.

Those brought out from the Infinite Hell should have originally had the ability of devil fruits.

If it weren’t for Hanafda’s timely appearance, the author had thought of setting the “King of Evil Government” as the Shichibukai who was defeated by Ace…
