...
In the meantime.
Compared to Kido's sudden departure from the base of the Beast Pirates, which caused a storm in the New World.
Here is the first half of the Great Journey.
If you have to say which forces are least likely to accept the news that the Flying Squirrels are leading the Pacifists to defeat.
They are none other than the Navy Government and the World Government.
The former because Bai Ye's information is very detailed.
A retired naval veteran from the North Sea, that's all.
Even the past combat records and injuries are all recorded.
So even if Byakuya had committed the insane act of killing a Tenryu in the North Sea,
in those extraordinary times,
Naval Headquarters initially thought that sending a vice admiral would be enough.
Add to this the "Peaceist" developed by the Navy's scientific forces,
and this line-up of powerful fighters was
was essentially unbeatable.
For the time being, the focus of Naval Headquarters
should still be on the Whitebeard Pirates, led by the strongest man in the world.
As a result,
was an operation that should have been impossible to overlook.
But something went wrong!
During this operation.
Not only did they lose one of their most important Vice Admirals,
but they also lost all five Peacekeepers on board the warship!
Such a huge loss...
Marifondo.
The conference room was filled with the Navy's top brass, who had been called back for an emergency meeting.
Vice Admiral Tsurumi's face was solemn.
She looked at the urgent battle report Sengoku had handed her.
"The result is far beyond expectations... It is even enough to affect the scale of our next extermination of the Whitebeard Pirates."
Tsuri looked at the war report in her hands. Her face was grave as she glanced at the Vice Admirals and others who had just arrived in the conference room and continued her analysis,
"And that's not even the most troubling thing...
"The most troubling thing is the appearance of the pacifists. The original intention was to deter the pirates in the first half of the Great Voyage, but not only has it failed to do so, but this incident may further diminish the Navy's prestige in the world."
"Sengoku, this situation is simply intolerable."
Tsurugi put down the document in his hands and looked solemnly at Admiral Sengoku.
"Not bad."
Sengoku nodded with a similarly solemn expression.
At this moment.
After listening to the content of the meeting, the group of Admirals who could no longer hold back could not help but ask:
"Admiral Sengoku... the operation failed? How is that possible? !"
"What kind of methods did a retired veteran use?"
"Could it be that the other side really has a huge force behind them that wants to recreate the Lokes Pirates?"
The people who had been summoned urgently, such as Shouka San, obviously could not believe the authenticity of the information.
After all, to ensure that nothing went wrong,
and not interfere with the plan to deal with the Whitebeard pirates,
A vice admiral of the naval headquarters.
Five warships loaded with pacifists.
This deployment.
Even in the New World.
A formidable fighting force that no one dares to underestimate.
Now they suddenly summoned them and told them that all the pacifists, including a Vice Admiral, had been wiped out?
How could they believe that?
And they managed to do it in such a short time.
Even the captains under the Four Emperors couldn't do it, right?
Not to mention the Flying Squirrel's strength.
Even if they really could not defeat them,
it is unlikely that they would have sent a message for help from their headquarters, right?
Doubt crept into everyone's hearts.
However, as Sengoku spoke, everyone's pupils gradually widened.
"There were no other forces, and there was no preparation. From beginning to end, there was only one person."
"Wha... what?!"
"One person?!"
"How?!"
The faces of Shakuyaku and the others changed.
Sengoku noticed the converging gazes in the conference room.
He continued,
"This is the essence of why this meeting was called,"
he said.
Nakano ordered a recording projector to place a telephone worm on the conference table.
Then, as Marshal of the Navy, he issued an unprecedented order.
"From now on, all naval branches in the first half of the Great Voyage will be put on alert, keeping an eye on the movements of this man, and at the same time... the extermination operation will be led by the Admiral!"
As soon as the words were uttered, the faces of the people in the room, including the one in charge of the Great Voyage, changed.
"Admiral! Admiral!"
"The Admiral is going to make a move?"
"But if the Whitebeard Pirates..."
Someone began to speak, worried.
But...
As the video recorder Phone Bug played the terrifying footage of the old, burly man standing alone on the sea, unleashing a single attack that wiped out the flying squirrels and all the pacifists.
The Admiral swallowed his words.
His pupils were dilated in disbelief, showing that he was deeply affected.
"One strike... How is that possible?"
The Lieutenant General saw the vaporised seawater forming countless plumes of steam that covered the entire sea like a flaming cloud, and finally couldn't help but let out a scream.
"Such a terrifying guy... Why is he unknown? !"
Huoshengshan listened to the shock of the nearby lieutenant general and couldn't believe his ears.
His pupils also dilated in disbelief.
He couldn't help but exclaim in awe,
"A terrifying monster has appeared. Such a monster was once a member of our navy.
Huo Huo Shan's five fingers couldn't help but clench.
Although it is still unclear what exactly happened in the North Sea.
The enemy really did attack the Tenryu people.
But obviously.
Such a monster that no one wants to face directly is now standing against the Navy Government and the World Government!
...
The other side.
The sea.
[Ding, your current 'Yamamoto Goryūsai Shigekuni' template unlocking progress increased by 0.5]
[Current unlock progress: 60.5].
"Huh?"
He felt the power surge through his body again.
Although it was nowhere near the exaggerated power of directly reaching the 60th level,
the actual power increase
still surprised Bai Ye.
You have to understand.
The 60th level of unlocking the template.
It had easily given Bai Ye the combat power to become one of the strongest in the pirate world.
Bai Ye had thought that the next step of improving the template would be incredibly slow.
After all, the template was his.
But it was almost universally recognised as the most powerful being in the world of the Grim Reaper.
If it were fully unlocked.
Perhaps...
Bai Ye looked up and surveyed the seemingly endless sea.
He reached out and placed his hand on the Streamer Blade, feeling the terrifying power it contained.
"The entire first half of the Grand Journey will simply evaporate, right?"
As a time traveller.
No one in this world knows the horrors of his template better than he does.
Bai Ye had thought that with the progress he had unlocked so far, the process would be incredibly slow.
Now it seemed that way.
It wasn't quite like that.
"What exactly determines the progress of template unlocking?"
Bai Ye thought for a while, muttering to himself.
Unfortunately.
The system he had only started using at the age of sixty.
couldn't answer Bai Ye's questions on its own.
He would have to find all the answers himself.
But even so.
It was enough for Bai Ye to know that the templates would continue to unlock.
That was enough.
There was no more reassuring news than that.
In the end.
His target for revenge.
Was the World Government, which had stood in the world for eight hundred years and had an unimaginable foundation!
At the same time.
If those enemies knew that his strength would continue to grow...
I wonder what the situation would be then!

Thank you for your great support, I really appreciate it!
