One Piece: General Xuanming, Defeat the New World

Naval Headquarters, Marinevando.

After hearing that Garp had successfully captured Rayleigh, the second-in-command of Roger's pirate group, alive, Admiral Cyborg Sora was in a stalemate.

Should Rayleigh be placed under guard at the Marine Headquarters or thrown into Impel Down?

As a strong physical warrior, nothing can restrain them. Chains, seastone, the sea, none of these can work.

Eating a devil fruit may give you an unparalleled advantage in early growth and combat, especially a devil fruit that suits you.

But when it comes to being promoted to the top combat power, everything changes. The only possibility of defeat for the top combat power is that the armament domineering is completely exhausted.

Only some of the top killers can avoid this condition. For example, if one's heart is shattered by Simont's bullet wrapped in the domineering color, no amount of armed color will be of any significance.

But in most cases, only exhaustion of physical strength means defeat and death.

Compared with fruit ability users of the same level, physical strength masters have obviously superior domineering reserves and application proficiency, and at the same time, nothing can restrain their steps anymore.

Even if the user of the fruit ability reaches the top level of combat power, he will still be restricted by the sea and even the seastone.

Rayleigh is fully capable of breaking through all restraints with his physical body. The only way to guard him is for someone with the same level of combat power to watch over him, preventing Rayleigh's injuries from healing and keeping him in a state of extreme hunger and fatigue.

If it were in Impel Down, if the Roger Pirates went to attack Impel Down, with the help of both inside and outside forces, the Impel Down prison warden, old man Moment (a user of the superhuman absorption fruit who can absorb the target's physical strength, domineering aura and even vitality through markings) would really not be able to stop the entire Roger Pirates.

But if it is placed in the Navy Headquarters, then it will be a time bomb, and it is hard to tell when it will strike the Navy. The Navy Headquarters cannot afford to be tossed around now.

……

After a series of discussions at the Navy Headquarters, Cybernetic Sora finally issued an order that Vice Admiral Garp's Doghead warship, after passing through Marinford and taking a short rest, would go directly to Impel Down and escort Pluto Rayleigh to the sixth floor of Impel Down for custody.

……

"So Brother Kong, this is what you decided?"

Looking at Rayleigh, who was wrapped in seastone chains like a dumpling and still unconscious in the Marinford cell, Garp asked the question in confusion.

"Spread false news that Rayleigh is in Impel Down, so that the Roger Pirates will not dare to rashly invade Marinford."

"I have already made arrangements for Impel Down, and the World Government has also sent strong men to guard it in secret."

"If the Roger Pirates dare to attack, there will be no return!"

A confident glow appeared on Cybernetic Sora's face, which had already begun to show wrinkles, and the Navy Admiral stretched his sturdy body.

In terms of muscles and size, Cyborg Kong is even more muscular than Garp. His strong and tight muscles hold up his navy coat, making him look exceptionally strong.

"I'm here to guard the Navy Headquarters this time. If anything unexpected happens, I will personally take action!"

Gang Gukong flexed his fist, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

Now only sixty years old, Kong Zigong is still at the peak of his strength, but many people on the sea have forgotten this old man who once dominated the world in the Rocks era.

……

"Gol D. Roger, let's discuss a business deal."

On the Oro Jackson, a gentle figure slowly stepped out from the void, wearing a neat suit, with a refined look, and complete etiquette. The noble pirate from the ancient Flower Kingdom - Wang Zhi came to Roger's pirate ship.

"Damn it! If you hadn't been plotting in secret, the entire pirate group wouldn't be in this situation now!"

Roger did not speak. Instead, the young man next to Roger, Red-haired Shanks, waved his fist and looked at Wang Zhi with an indignant look on his face.

"My dear child, didn't your parents tell you not to interrupt when adults are talking?"

Wang Zhi looked at Shanks. His gentle smile did not have a trace of warmth, but only endless murderous intent and blood.

Over the years, Wang Zhi has killed more people than most pirates. Moreover, as a master of assassination techniques, Wang Zhi knows very well how to maximize his murderous intent.

"I...don't try to scare me!"

Faced with the murderous intent that was as cold as winter, Shanks' face turned pale, he subconsciously took a step back, and spoke angrily.

"Okay, Wang Zhi, be respectful to my companions on my boat, or I will chop you in half."

Roger spoke slowly, his cheerful face no longer had the usual smile, but instead had a hint of gloom.

He understood what Shanks said. After Rayleigh was captured, Roger carefully reviewed his itinerary over the past six months. After thinking about it again and again, he finally understood the truth of the matter.

Ever since Golden Lion issued the notice half a year ago, the Roger Pirates had to get involved in the entire plan.

It was not until Wang Zhi's action not long ago that the suspicion of the Navy Headquarters was completely confirmed. Since then, the Roger Pirates have changed from a "traveling pirate group with power" to "a powerful conspirator and companion of Golden Lion" in the eyes of the Navy Headquarters, and the level of danger has skyrocketed.

Finally, his old injury relapsed and he was completely defeated by Garp.

Roger knew what Shanks said, but what could he do?

"Captain Roger, I didn't mean to target your crew. I'm really sorry if I scared this little boy!"

Wang Zhi bowed slightly and spoke humbly.

"What happened in the past has already happened. Instead of dwelling on past conflicts, why not sit down and have a good talk? It may not be impossible for you and I to cooperate, Captain Roger."

Roger pondered for a moment, clenched his right hand tightly, then loosened it weakly, and finally nodded.

"You're right, how do you want to cooperate?"

Wang Zhi's teleportation fruit means that almost no one can kill him. In this case, it would be better to sit down and have a good talk to maximize the benefits.

"You are a wise man, Captain Roger."

"According to the information I received, Rayleigh was escorted by Garp to the sixth floor of Impel Down."

"This means that the Navy has no intention of killing Rayleigh."

Wang Zhi slowly analyzed the current situation.

"That's fine."

Roger nodded. The news had indeed been reported in the newspaper the day before.

"No matter where Rayleigh is, there is one thing in this newspaper that is true: the Navy did not kill Rayleigh."

"But whether Rayleigh is actually in Impel Down remains to be verified, isn't it, Captain Roger?"

Roger listened to Wang Zhi's words and thought silently.

Roger hadn't thought about it that much at first, but after hearing Wang Zhi's analysis, he couldn't help but suspect that the Navy might be spreading false information. So...
