Pirate: Give me your power

Looking down from the hills, the scene that greets the eyes is simply horrible. The black scorched earth is full of scorched wood fragments.

The night wind blew through the streets destroyed by the flames, and poured into the wreckage of buildings half hidden under the mud, making a desolate whining sound.

No matter how many years have passed, when this scene is rediscovered again, you can still feel the tragedy of that year. This is a city that was mostly destroyed by war.

Rusted swords, flame burns on broken planks, scorched earth and cracked riverbeds.

Standing on the top of the hill, Logan looked down at the scene, feeling a cool feeling from the bottom of his heart.

Some people are deliberately hiding this area, artificially erasing the traces of the miserable catastrophe.

Some people left most of the ruined city on the scorched earth, ignored it, and built huge hills to block people's eyes.

Who is it?

Why do you want to do this?

Logan frowned.

"Brother, are you here alone?"

When Logan was deep in thought, an abrupt voice suddenly came from his ear.

Logan turned his head, and there was a bald old man in a patched gray robe standing not far from him, holding a dimly lit kerosene lamp in his left hand.

The cool wind above the hills blew his gray hair, but his kind smile looked a little weird in the dark night.

"Brother, it's late at night, let's go home."

Logan's wanton scrutiny didn't annoy the bald old man. He walked around in front of Logan, as if trying to persuade his grandson who was late at night.

Logan rubbed the bridge of his nose.

Not sleeping at night, and appearing in such a desolate place, no matter how you look at it, you think there is a problem.

Well, not just the old man, but himself too.

There was a white light in Logan's eyes, the color of knowledge was opened, and the perspective was activated. His eyes passed through the thin layer of skin, and under the vitality that belonged to human beings, there was another scene.

"Grandpa, it's curfew, it's time to go home and hug your grandson."

Logan's eyes were bright white, with a smile on his face, and his tone was gentle, as if he was trying to persuade a disobedient elder.

However, anger suddenly appeared on the old man's wrinkled face.

"You... what are you talking about!"

His angry look is very unnatural, like a failed product of a low-level painter.

The smile on Logan's face remained unchanged, and his eyes turned to the scorched earth full of ruins: "People of your age should not go out late at night."

"Besides, why do you want to come to this kind of place? Is it a remembrance? Is it a patrol? Or is it an established procedure?"

"Procedure... what are you talking about? What the hell are you..."

The old man became visibly disturbed, and his expression gradually peeled off from his face. Under the cracked skin like bark, an obvious mechanism of inorganic matter emerged.

Logan's gaze changed, and his tone turned stern: "Answer me, who are you?!"

"Who am I? What are you talking about... ah..."

Logan ignored the old man's stiff shaking of his head, paced slowly, his tone deliberately slowed down on the two words, like a knife cutting someone: "You're a wooden—Isn't it?"

"What are you talking about...what are you talking about...you are...talking, talking..."

From the mouth of the old man with empty eyes, words like a broken tape recorder spit out.

Logan frowned, is there something wrong with the program?

However, the puppet actually has a program. It obviously doesn't have any sophisticated instruments in its body, but it can show the same self-awareness as a high-level robot.

Devil fruit?

It's really fun.

Logan's mouth curled into a determined smile.

In the world of one piece, if you encounter unnatural phenomena, even if you push them on the devil fruit, nine out of ten will be out of ten.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, at a very close distance, a black light pierced the air and struck suddenly.

At the moment of lightning and flint, Logan stretched out two fingers, and firmly clamped the black light.

The old man's hand shook unnaturally, and the kerosene lamp he was holding pierced Logan's throat with precision like a spring.

If Logan was an ordinary person, he would have had his throat cut and died by now.

"The murderer who attacked ordinary people before was you, right? No, maybe..."

Logan looked at the sleeping old city, and in his knowledge and perception, there were several figures wandering in the streets and alleys, like ghosts lingering in the world.

Facing Logan's question, the old man could no longer utter complete words.

"I, I, I, I, you, you, you, you..."

The old man made a strange sound while struggling with the kerosene lamp in his hand.

"Oh, it's quite strong."

Logan felt the strength from his hand, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

This old man's strength, I'm afraid it can't weigh more than a thousand catties, it's really scary.

With two fingers, Logan squeezed the kerosene lamp and exploded. Under the broken pieces, the old man's pale wrinkled hand suddenly stretched out at an extremely fast speed.

Logan smiled, and the figure suddenly disappeared from the spot, and suddenly appeared from behind the old man without a sound.

The expressionless old head shook his shoulders like a big blow, and let out a roar like a gear bump from the depths of his throat. His upper body suddenly rotated 180 degrees, and his hands struck again at a monster-like speed.

Logan's eyes were vicious, and he stretched out his hand to clasp the old man's palm like lightning, and then twisted his forearm in the opposite direction, crackling all the way to the root of his shoulder.

"what--!"

The old man let out a wail, and the huge force pressing on him made him tremble.

"Grandpa, if you move around, your hands will be broken."

Logan issued a kind reminder.

But the old man didn't stop struggling, the sound of the gears turning became louder and louder, Logan's face was calm, and he even faintly expected.

Sudden--

Accompanied by the old man's angry roar, his left hand burst suddenly.

Logan's face remained unchanged, he let go of his right hand, and then kicked out suddenly!

Bang!

It was like kicking a piece of wood, the old man's body was broken from the middle, and the two parts of his body fell one after another on the wasteland a hundred meters away.

"Sure enough."

Logan walked towards the old man. Even though his body was brutally kicked in half, the old man did not lose consciousness. Only a small amount of blood floating on the surface of the body flowed out from the huge break, which soaked into the soil and turned dark red.

Logan stood in front of the old man, looking at his remains.

It was a puppet, and what appeared in the old man's body was a human body, cut out of wood, and precision, or rough, large and small gears in the body.

"Ahhhh!"

The old man who lost his lower body and left hand roared and attacked Logan with his intact right hand.

boom!

Logan kicked him on the head without hesitation.

The old man's head shattered and pieces of dry wood fell to the ground.

His stump twitched a few times, like a cock with its throat cut.

But in the end, only a puppet in a patched gray robe remained on the ground.

A puppet with a superhuman body, is this the truth about Maralui's disappearance?

Could the mastermind behind the scenes be "Lord Archimonde" who is praised by the people of the island like a god?

Today, in addition to playing, Logan also inquired about some things about Archimonde.

Archimonde, male, unmarried, 41 years old, talented carpenter, likes black, likes to be alone, not used to being exposed, has been living alone in a gear factory in the suburbs, and is the prototype of the gear in the "Wooden Man Badge".

In addition, Bayi is worthy of being a tour guide, and he knows more than ordinary people.

He said that the founding of the Martina Woodman Guild was not the rumor on the island that Archimonde conquered all the top carpenters in the world with his superb skills.

Instead, Archimonde formed a guild named after a woman named "Martina," whom he seemed to respect greatly, even though no one had actually seen her.

Logan was under the night sky, recalling the image of Archimonde that he heard in his mind.

She has a withdrawn personality, has experienced twists and turns, lives alone, and has an excellent reputation.

Hmm... Unexpectedly, it fits the setting of some big villains.

From this point of view, it seems that the real culprit behind the scenes is really him.

Logan tapped his flip-flops, dumped the sawdust, and walked down the hill.

It's late at night, it's time to go back to sleep.

He had wanted to see the hidden part of the city, and now that he had seen it, his curiosity was satisfied.

If you continue to delve deeper, you will definitely touch that "Archimonde", and perhaps a battle will break out.

Logan just came to have fun and didn't want to be so tired.

So, that's it, wash up and sleep.

But, unbeknownst to Logan.

A wilderness, a huge gear factory, a dark secret room.

The man sitting on the low stool raised his eyes, the black eyes fluctuated slightly, and his voice was calm and magnetic: "Do you have anything to say?"

On the bed, an old woman's voice sounded weak: "Napu is dead."

The man got up, and his voice was cold: "Someone found it there, and that person will definitely think of it here."

"Please tell me who it is, I'm going to kill that person."

The old woman coughed violently: "Archimonde, forget it."

The man's voice was full of doubts: "Why? That person will find here, I don't want you to be disturbed."

"I'm going to die." The old voice calmly said:

"Archimonde, you are my child, you have to walk alone for a long time, I don't want your hands to be stained with blood, you..."

"No!"

The man suddenly became excited, strode to the bed, knelt down, and said loudly: "You will not die! I will save you at all costs!"

The old withered palm tremblingly placed on the top of the man's head: "My child."

"For the rest of the time, stay by my side."

"Yes, mother."

At the same time, a few hundred nautical miles away, there was a gentle wind and light rain.

Three behemoth-like super-large warships are galloping on the sea in the shape of a character, each of which has a size comparable to that of a sea king!

This is the top battleship of the navy. The firepower system equipped on the warship alone is enough to easily slaughter the sea kings, making any enemy terrified!

At this moment, all three warships are fully staffed!

Three lieutenant generals, twelve major generals, countless lieutenants at the school level, a total of 600 naval elites!

This is enough combat power to slaughter the country!

At this moment, the three warships are heading towards Maralui Island hundreds of nautical miles away at full speed along a secret route!

Leading the warship.

An old man with gray temples stood with arms folded on the bow of the boat, splitting the wind and rain like a sculpture carved with a knife and an axe. His face was serious, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Peach Rabbit sent a message that White Fang is still in Maralui, and he seems to have another crew member."

A burly man with a navy cap and a bare tattooed chest came over, his voice was full of anger: "I just confirmed with Punk Hazard that the new crew member is Experimental No. 58: Ghost Marciano Ali, He ate that artificial green dragon fruit!"

"Bastard Vegapunk! He actually lied to the navy!"

A hot red light flickered on Akainu's fist, evaporating the rainwater!

Back then, Kaido attacked the Navy headquarters alone. After the war, Akainu escorted the prison ship and sent Kaido to Punk Hazard.

However, the man-made devil fruit came out, and that hateful big head actually said it was a failure!

Failure!

Then what happened to the giant dragon under White Fang now!

Akainu felt the anger of being betrayed!

"Another Kaido?"

With a calm face, Garp stared at the choppy sea under the night ahead, and sighed: "It's really scary that the Logan Pirates have grown to this climate with only three people."

Garp couldn't help thinking of the Rocks Pirates ten years ago.

Will the Logan Pirates become the second Rocks Pirates?

Akainu gritted his teeth and groaned, and slammed his fist on the railing: "We must not let them leave Maralui alive!"

Garp glanced at him, looking ahead in silence.

The navy's tactics are very simple, it is the idea of ​​the Demon Slaying Order.

First, the three warships unleashed their artillery fire, destroying the place where White Fang had settled without distinction.

Then, before White Fang could react, Garp and Akainu rushed out together, blasting White Fang to death with the momentum of thunder!

But what about the inhabitants of Maralui?

They will definitely not escape the flames of war, and it is unknown how many souls will be added by then.

For the sake of secrecy, no one allowed the residents of Maralui to evacuate in advance, not even the nobles of the joined countries on the island.

He was afraid that Bai Fang would get the news, so he ran away beforehand!

The means are not uncool!

At this moment, Garp suddenly thought of the Effie Kingdom that believed in Lionheart wood four years ago.

That time, he failed to protect the country in the hands of the golden lion.

This time, Garp wants to destroy a peaceful island full of joy with his own hands.

Do you really want to do this?

For the sake of justice, is it really necessary to sacrifice tens of thousands of lives to solve a crime?

Isn't the life of a non-member country not a life?

Even after a long battle, Garp couldn't help being confused.

Akainu glanced at Garp, he knew very well what the naval hero was thinking now.

After all, at the high-level meeting discussing this secret operation against White Fang, Garp turned the table on the spot!

Later, he didn't know what Tsuru Admiral said to him, so he agreed to act with Akainu.

To be honest, Akainu didn't want Karp to participate in this operation. After all, once Karp moved his heart, his previous efforts would come to naught!

Then the consequences for the navy would be too great!

Maralui is no ordinary non-member country.

It is known as the "Island of Ingenuity and Pleasure" all over the world, and it is widely spread among princes and nobles all over the world.

For example, now, there are nobles from more than one franchise country on Maralui Island.

Their plan this time is extremely secretive, and only some people in the Navy headquarters know about it.

If White Fang is successfully killed, then the navy can blame White Fang for destroying Maralui, and the navy is the hero who saved Maralui from the pirates!

The Navy Headquarters has even prepared a newspaper to be issued, and once the victory is won, it will be sent to all parts of the world immediately!

but!

If White Fang is allowed to escape, then everything that the navy has done will be exposed by those who want to!

The name of justice will be shaken the most in history!

Therefore, it is only allowed to win, not to lose! ! !

On the deck, the two supreme commanders of this operation have different thoughts.

But, right now.

A sweaty navy herald suddenly ran over in a panic, holding two extremely serious phone bugs in his hand - one of which was an anti-eavesdropping phone bug.

"Lieutenant General Garp! Lieutenant General Akainu! Urgent order!"

The herald saluted hurriedly, then handed the bug to Garp.

Garp and Akainu looked at each other, both seeing surprise in each other's eyes.

At this time, what is the urgent matter of Marshal Kong?

Not daring to delay, Karp immediately connected the phone: "Moses Moses."

On the other side, it was silent.

Akainu thumped in his heart, stepped forward and asked loudly: "Marshal Sora, what happened?!"

Finally, a voice rang from the other side of the phone bug, but it was Sengoku: "The Tianlong people... went to Maralui."

boom!

Like thunder in the clear sky!

Both Garp and Akainu's complexions changed drastically, and they couldn't help but feel the turbulent waves in their hearts!

Akainu calmed down the tumbling emotions, gritted his teeth and asked, "Did someone leak the secrets of the operation?"

"No."

The voice of the Warring States period was bitter: "The sixth birthday of the youngest son of Matteskusan wants to be spent in Maralui, and it will be tomorrow."

Akainu was furious and smashed the railing with one punch!

"Asshole! Doesn't he know it's a non-member country! Why does it have to be there!"

Sengoku did not answer.

Where the Tianlong people want to go has nothing to do with whether they are a member country. They call themselves the creators. In their understanding, the whole world belongs to them!

Garp took a deep breath. Although he didn't want to admit it, he felt a little joy in his heart. It was the first time that he recognized the trash of Tianlong people.

"Is the operation cancelled?"

Garp pretended to be extremely sorry.

The corners of Zhan Guo's eyes moved slightly, how could he not know what his old friend was thinking now.

Suddenly, Steel Gu Kong took the phone bug, with a face full of anger, and said firmly: "No! Continue the action!"

Garp was horrified, and his jaw fell to the ground exaggeratedly.

A cold sweat streamed down Chiquan's face: "Could it be, could it be that you want to kill..."

Akainu didn't say any more, he glanced at the shivering herald, and waved him back.

The herald ran into the cabin as if he had been pardoned.

God, I didn't hear anything just now.

On the other end of the phone bug, Gang Gukong was silent for a moment, and glanced at Warring States.

To be honest, when they just got the news, it wasn't that this idea didn't flash in their minds.

Instead of directly letting the navy kill them, it was designed to let White Fang kill the Celestial Dragons, and then they launched an attack smoothly, and then destroyed the Logan Pirates in one fell swoop!

This idea is so tempting that Steel Gukong even thinks that the appearance of Tianlongren is a godsend.

However, this idea is just an idea, and no one dares to say it, and no one dares to put it into practice!

"Sakaski! Shut up!"

After being silent for a moment, Steel Gu Kong immediately yelled to stop Akainu's unspoken dangerous remarks.

Chiquan gritted his teeth, and his voice squeezed out from between his teeth: "Then the hard work of the past few days, the hard work of the day and night, is it in vain?"

Zhan Guo said in a deep voice: "No, you go to Kuku Nuoer to ambush, Bai Fang's new ship will be completed in four days, you go there and wait for the rabbit!"

"what?"

Akainu thought he heard it wrong, so he asked again.

Garp scratched his head, confused: "Wasn't Kukunoer excluded from the plan from the very beginning?"

"It's Jeremy the Wolf's territory, not a place like Maralui with a secret route."

"His spies are all in the hundreds of miles of sea area around Kuku Nuoer. Once they enter, they will definitely scare the snakes. Not only will White Fang not be able to catch them, but they will also fight fierce wolves!"

"Warring States, are you confused by anger?"

Cap even reached out and touched the phone bug's forehead.

"asshole!"

Sengoku gritted his teeth angrily at Karp's actions.

Akainu calmed down at this moment, he didn't believe that Zhishou Sen would make such a confused arrangement.

Sure enough, a few seconds later, the calm Sengoku uttered a word: "Qiwuhai!"

Hearing this, both Garp and Akainu were taken aback for a moment, and then their faces darkened in unison!

The king is under the Qiwuhai!

This is a system proposed by the world government two years ago and put into practical action recently!

Simply put, let pirates fight pirates.

The world government selects places to invite those pirates who are powerful and can deter everyone to become Qiwuhai.

Shichibukai has a legal plunder certificate. Apart from accepting the compulsory convening of the world government and paying a certain amount of income to the government, he can move freely at ordinary times without government interference at all.

This decision of the world government, in the eyes of the navy, is a distrust of the navy!It's a compromise with the pirates!It is the abuse of civilians!

No navy is willing to agree to this system!

Especially Akainu, he believes in absolute justice, and there is no room for sand in his eyes!

Garp and Akainu united front.

Black lines slid down his face, and his voice was cold: "Sengoku, don't tell me that you are going to invite fierce wolves to become Qiwuhai!"

Warring States didn't know Garp's thoughts.

Now the navy is in a cold war with the world government, just for the Shichibukai system.

If they do this now, it will be tantamount to surrendering to the world government, and their previous anger and efforts will become a joke!

Zhan Guo smiled wryly: "Is our opposition useful? I have handed in the joint letter more than a dozen times, and I was beaten back with scolding."

"The Five Old Stars have already made up their minds, and they have even sent invitations to Moonlight Moria and Sand Crocodile Crocodile, bypassing our navy."

"The matter has come to this, instead of letting the higher-ups decide the candidate for Qi Wuhai, why don't we choose!"

"Wolf Klaus Jeremy, although he was defeated in the battle with Beast Kaido, his strength is definitely qualified."

"And he is in the new world. If he becomes Shichibukai, not only will he not be able to threaten the civilians in the world, but he will also effectively consume the pirate power in the new world."

"More importantly, if he becomes Shichibukai, we can use Kukunor to destroy White Fang!"
