New World.
The sky is dark, stars twinkling, and a crescent moon hangs slantingly in the night sky.
At a glance, the boundless dark sea is dotted with a towering tower, and the turbulent waves beat crazily on the twists and turns of the coastline.
G-5 base.
The lights were still bright, and patrolling Marine soldiers were coming and going.
This is the first level to enter the New World.
But even if the pirates who made trouble in the past and were extremely arrogant passed by the nearby waters, they did not dare to make a big show of it.
At this time.
In the watery night.
A simple wooden boat quietly moved towards the rear of the base.
Snap--!!!
A large light was turned on, and a dazzling beam hit the boat.
"Who is there?"
A loud shout came.
Obviously, the patrol force of G-5 base is not a joke.
At the slightest sign of trouble, some soldiers immediately noticed something was wrong.
After all, this is the New World.
A careless Marine would have died at the hands of pirates long ago.
The visitor was completely exposed before their eyes.
However, before the Marines could see his appearance clearly, the figure instantly rose up against the wind. The huge figure blocked the cold moonlight, and the thick ink-like shadow enveloped all the Marines.
"What the hell is this?"
"Is this still a human being? Even the giants wouldn't be so exaggerated, right?"
"Such an exaggerated body shape is definitely a fruit ability! Don't panic, just save up and shoot first!"
Boom——!!!
Before the Marines could react, the figure stepped hard on the base with the sole of his foot. A large amount of blood sprayed out, and there was no time to even scream.
"Oh, I accidentally broke the boat."
The giant glanced behind him. The wooden boat that had suddenly grown in size had turned into a pile of wreckage, floating on the water, and half of his legs had been submerged in the sea.
The Marines who were lucky enough to escape being trampled and turned into flesh screamed hoarsely, and a shadow of fear enveloped them.
This guy... doesn't regard human life as human life at all!!
Crash--!!!
The seawater stirred and flowed down the raised calves, and the giant's feet completely landed.
"Sure enough, it's more comfortable not to use the fruit's ability."
The giant stretched slightly and let out a comfortable groan from his unshaven mouth.
It seems that the previous form was just a burden to him, and the current huge body is the real liberation.
Wuwuwu--!!!
The alarm suddenly sounded, and the entire base suddenly fell into a tense atmosphere.
Anyone who is not blind can see the figure that is almost as big as an island.
Boom--!!!
The dark cannonballs shot at the giant under the cover of night, and the smoke rose with a huge roar.
The giant's figure remained motionless, except that the black and white striped prison uniform on his body was slightly damaged.
"Everyone! Back off!"
The sound of shouting suddenly sounded, and Maynard looked hurriedly. Behind him were groups of well-equipped Marine soldiers, with their muskets already set up on the spot.
"What gave you the courage! How dare you raid a Marine Base!"
Maynard looked angry, and the cigarette he was biting on was about to be bitten off because he was biting too hard.
These pirates! It's simply lawless!!
Since Admiral Atlas gave him the base, he will not take a step back even if he dies!
Thinking of this, Maynard's dark face showed a hint of determination, and the long sword in his hand was tightly held.
Swish——!!!
The long sword swung down, "Fire!!"
After the Marines in front of him retreated, Maynard swung the long sword forward fiercely, and the sound of breaking through the air was heard.
The sound of dense gunfire sounded like a curtain of rain covering the sky, and bullets were released towards the giant's body.
Boom——!!!
Rumble——!!!
The roar resounded across the sky, and thick smoke enveloped most of the giant's body, but there was still no sign of it falling.
Maynard frowned.
The arm was raised again, and there were sounds of clicking and loading from behind.
Whoosh!!!
An arm broke through the smoke and seemed to be captured from the clouds. It was as fast as lightning and swept towards Maynard and the Marines behind him.
The giants are not just big!!
————
Headquarters, Marineford.
Boom——!!!
Atlas placed the hot tea in his hand on the desk, firmly and without any spillage.
Atlas had a smile on his lips and his eyes were intriguing:
"By the way, old man Sengoku, are you ready to break up with those five old men?"
This is Marine's first time openly slapping the World Government in the face.
You know, in the Ohara incident, Sengoku showed complete obedience to the Five Elders, as if he was following the World Government's lead.
However, in just over ten years, Sengoku has seen what the World Government has done and taken it to heart.
The establishment of Shichibukai, private contact with Kaido, and hindering them from cleaning up pirates...
One pile, one piece.
If it were Sengoku from the original time and space, he might have endured it silently without any resistance.
Because he understands that Marine's power is far from what the World Government has accumulated over the past eight hundred years.
However, Marine's top management is now stronger than ever.
Power often brings about the expansion of ambition.
And Sengoku's ambition is to completely dominate the sea with his justice!
Quietly, perhaps even without Sengoku himself noticing, his loyalty to the World Government seemed to have been shaken.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Isn't it natural for Marines to kill pirates?"
Sengoku frowned and scolded, "It's okay for you to say this here, but if the World Government hears it..."
"Okay, okay! I understand, it's really long-winded!"
Atlas curled his lips and waved his hands repeatedly.
This old man is still as cautious as ever!
He didn't believe that the other party hadn't noticed his actions over the years.
"When are you going back to the New World? You run to the headquarters every two days. That guy Garp doesn't run as often as you."
Sengoku said with some disgust.
It can be said that these two guys come from the same East Blue background and have the same bad habits.
Although the Grand Line's physical fitness is much stronger than that of people from all over the world due to climate and various other reasons.
But now many of the top executives in Marine have come up step by step from all over the world.
Sengoku and Aokiji are South Blue people, while Tsuru, Kizaru, and Akainu are all from North Blue.
It seems like there are no West Blue people yet?
Maybe the gangster culture is too prevalent. The main forces are still entrenched on land and are not very interested in conquering the sea.
Moreover, just speaking of the four seas, West Blue's average strength is definitely quite strong.
The Happo Navy of the Kano Country alone can definitely sweep through a large area.
The complete inheritance of Haki and Taijutsu is enough to make them proudly West Blue.
"When...it depends on the situation."
Atlas leaned back and stretched a little.
Even his iron-clad body was a little tired from the successive battles.
Bullet, Patrick Redfield, these guys are not easy to deal with.
If I was not careful, I may had to use the Horse talisman a few more times.
