023: All Marine Branches have entered the state of combat readiness, and will continue to unlock the progress of the template!

...

At the same time.

Compared to Kaido's sudden departure from the Beasts Pirates' residence, stirring up a storm in the New World.

The first half of the Grand Line is here.

The most unacceptable force to hear the news that Flying Squirrel led the pacifists in defeat is none other than the Marine and the World Government.

The former is because Bai Ye's information is very detailed.

A Marine veteran from the North Blue, that's all.

Even the past battle records and injuries are all recorded.

So, even when Bai Ye made a crazy move like killing Celestial Dragons in the North Blue.

In this special period.

At first, Naval Headquarters thought they would send out a Vice Admiral.

Along with the 'Pacifista' developed by the Marine Science Corps.

This is an extremely powerful lineup.

It was almost impossible to have any omissions in the operation to arrest Bai Ye.

Right now, the focus of Naval Headquarters.

It should still be on the Whitebeard Pirates led by the strongest man in the world.

Result.

An action that should have been impossible to have any omissions.

Something went wrong!

In this operation.

More than one Naval Headquarters vital Vice Admiral force died.

Also lost all the pacifists on the five warships!

Such a huge loss...

At Marineford.

All Marine executives who were temporarily reconvened came to the meeting room.

Vice Admiral Tsuru's face was serious.

Looking at the urgent battle report handed over by Sengoku.

"The result is far beyond the estimate...even enough to affect our next effort to destroy the Whitebeard Pirates."

Tsuru looked at the battle report in her hand, her face solemn, she glanced at the Vice Admiral and others who had just arrived in the meeting room, and continued to analyze and said:

"And this is not the most troublesome...

"The most troublesome thing is that the appearance of the pacifistas was intended to deter the pirates in the first half of the Grand Line. As a result, not only was the purpose not achieved, but this incident may further reduce the Marine's prestige in the world."

"Sengoku, the situation couldn't get any worse."

Tsuru put down the document in her hand and looked solemnly at Marine Fleet Admiral Sengoku.

"Good."

Sengoku nodded with the same serious face.

At this time.

After listening to the content of the meeting, a Vice Admiral couldn't help but ask immediately:

"Fleet Admiral Sengoku... the operation failed? How is this possible?!"

"A retired veteran, what method did he use?"

"Is there really a huge force behind the other party who wants to reproduce the Rocks Pirates?"

Kuzan and the others who were urgently summoned obviously could not believe the authenticity of the information.

After all, to ensure nothing went wrong.

Does not affect the plan to deal with the Whitebeard Pirates.

A Naval Headquarters Vice Admiral.

Five warships loaded with pacifistas.

This lineup.

Even in the New World.

It is also a terrifying combat power that no one dares to underestimate.

Now they are suddenly summoned and told that all pacifists, including a Vice Admiral, have been wiped out?

How does that make them believe?

And it can be done in a short period of time.

Even the captains of the Four Emperors, it's impossible, right?

Not to mention the strength of Flying Squirrel.

Doubts spread in everyone's minds.

However, as Sengoku spoke, everyone's pupils gradually widened.

"There are no other forces, and there is no preparation. The opponent has only one person from the beginning to the end."

"What... what?!"

"A person?!"

"How come?!"

Kuzan and the others changed their expressions.

Sengoku noticed the eyes gathered in the conference room.

Continued:

"That's at the heart of why this meeting is being held."

Talking.

Sengoku ordered a phone bug that recorded projections to be placed on the conference table.

Then, Sengoku, the Fleet Admiral of the Marine, issued an unprecedented order.

"From now on, all Marine branches in the first half of the Grand Line will be on combat readiness, and they will keep an eye on that man's movements. At the same time... the extermination operation will be presided over by an Admiral!"

As soon as the words fell, the expressions of Huoshaoshan and the others all changed.

"Great, an Admiral!"

"Is an Admiral going to make a move?!"

"But once the Whitebeard Pirates..."

Someone just opened his mouth when he was interrupted by worry.

But.

When the recording transponder snail played the terrifying picture of the old and strong man standing alone on the sea, releasing a single blow and wiping out Flying Squirrels, including all pacifistas, the Vice Admiral choked back his words abruptly.

The unbelievable flickering of his pupils showed that he was undergoing a huge shock.

"One blow...how is this possible?!" the Vice Admiral exclaimed, witnessing the evaporated seawater forming countless clouds of steam that covered the entire sea.

"Such a scary guy...why is he so unknown?!"

Huoshaoshan, listening to the shock of the nearby Vice Admiral, was disbelieving.

His pupils also flickered in disbelief.

He couldn't help but marvel and murmur, "A terrible monster has appeared. Such a monster used to belong to our Marine."

Huoshaoshan couldn't help clenching his fists tightly.

Although it is still unclear what happened in North Blue.

The other party even made a move on the Celestial Dragons.

Obviously.

Such a monster that no one wants to face head-on is now standing on the opposite side of the Marine government and the World government!

...

On the other side.

Maritime.

[Ding, the unlocking progress of the template 'Yamamoto Genryūsai' you currently own has increased by 0.5]

[Current unlocking progress: 60.5]

"Okay?"

Feeling an incomparably clear power emerging again in his body.

Although it is far from the exaggerated power to directly reach a 60 percent progress.

But the kind of power that truly improves.

It still surprised Bai Ye.

To know.

Sixty percent unlock template progress.

It has made it easy for Bai Ye to have the combat power to stand in the strongest group of the Pirate World.

Bai Ye originally thought that the improvement speed of the template would be extremely slow in the future.

After all, he has the template.

But it is almost recognized as the strongest existence in the world of 'Shinigami'.

If it is fully unlocked.

Maybe...

Bai Ye raised his head and looked at this seemingly endless sea area.

He put his hand on Ryūjin Jakka and felt the terrifying power contained within.

"The entire first half of the Grand Line would be easily evaporated, right?"

As a transverser.

No one in this world understands the horror of his template better than he does.

Bai Ye thought that with his current unlocking progress, it would be extremely slow.

It seems now.

That is not the case.

"What exactly does the unlocking progress of the template depend on?"

Bai Ye thought for a while and murmured.

Pity.

The system he activated when he was sixty years old.

It was unable to answer any of Bai Ye's questions on its own.

All the answers needed to be explored by himself.

But even so.

For Bai Ye, knowing the template will continue to unlock.

That's enough.

There is no news more reassuring than this.

After all.

The object of his revenge.

It is a World government that has stood in this world for 800 years and has a foundation that ordinary people cannot imagine!

At the same time.

If those enemies knew that his strength would continue to rise...

He didn't know what would happen then!
