Mo Xi was stunned.
Images of a factory in the suburbs flashed through her mind, filled with the mournful cries of children. Grim white bones lay buried in a corner of a garbage dump beside the furnace, and the eyes of dead slaves, like vengeful spirits, surrounded her, suffocating her.
No, it's an illusion!
Puff!
When the Specter reappeared, it was behind Moshi. Blazing sparks followed the circular saw as it tore her body apart, and the shattered bones and muscles were vaporized by the high temperature.
With a thud, Mo Xi collapsed to the ground, his eyes gradually losing focus.
Laurentina once again swiftly and decisively tore her enemy apart in battle!
Moshi, erase!
The unconscious navy officer opened his eyes, and sure enough.
Why even bother watching Captain Laurentina's battle? She'll wake up to another victory!
After servicing the circular saw, Ghost Shark carefully placed it in the guitar case.
Sincere and enthusiastic cheers filled the air.
...
Rumble!
Five flagships led by vice admirals unleashed a full-scale bombardment, turning the world's largest entertainment city into scorched earth in the explosion.
On the flagship of the Black Prison.
"Have all the civilians been settled?" Laurentina looked up at Vice Admiral Storoberry on the neighboring ship, whose distinctive features were his extremely tall skull and extremely long beard.
This vice admiral from the monkey faction under Kizaru is practically like the God of Longevity and Guan Yu.
His comedic stitching is surprisingly mild-mannered.
“Of course.” Storoberry held his twin swords and smiled amicably. “Dogman, Onigumo, it’s only because of you that the Buster Call was carried out after the civilians boarded the ship.”
On my face?
Do I have that kind of influence now?
Well, it's certainly possible in terms of both giving a speech and upholding justice.
Ghost Shark chuckled silently.
"All the palace treasures have been distributed to the common people. All the cleanup work has been completed. Let's return home." Tina bit her glove, took out a Pocky stick, and smiled, "It was truly an unforgettable vacation."
Ghost Shark smiled and nodded. Just then, a little girl's innocent voice came from the Storoberry ship: "Big sister, thank you for saving us."
"It's you." Ghost Shark turned around. It was the thief girl who had washed up and looked much cuter. "Don't steal anything again, okay?"
"Um, sister, I'm Ellie. What's your name? I want to become a hero like you someday!"
“That’s right, I don’t think I’ve ever introduced myself to you before.” Ghost Shark took two steps back and slightly lifted her long skirt.
The first rays of dawn shone on the hem of her skirt, and the shimmering light reflected off the tattered ribbons of scriptures, illuminating them.
“Hello, Ellie of Latavia, I am Specter, a naval captain.” The white-haired girl smiled elegantly. “If you wish, you may also call me Laurentina of Agor.”
“Lauren Tina…Lauren Tina…” Ellie silently memorized it, “What a cool name.”
"Well then, goodbye, strong little kitten." Laurentina glanced at the cat paw hair clip she had just received, smiled, turned around, and hummed a song softly.
When I pray?
Stars climb the night sky?
When I dance?
Have the two moons shed their black veils?
When I smile?
Will the sea bear witness to my joy?
Chapter 47? Going to the Kingdom of Goa?
"Report, Colonel Tina, we have found this in the Royal Treasury of Latavia." The accompanying sergeant saluted and brought over a gold-inlaid treasure chest.
This is......
A similar scene seems to have occurred not long ago?
Ghost Shark ruffled his hair as he watched Tina open the treasure chest, inside which lay a treasure that would drive the entire ocean into madness.
Devil Fruit!
A Devil Fruit with a four-leaf clover!
In Latavia, the most impressive ability user was probably the Queen of Luck.
Is it possible? !
Laurentina, who was most interested in the fruits, hurriedly flipped through the Devil Fruit encyclopedia she had collected.
Four-leaf clover, four-leaf clover.
Laurentina quickly flipped through the index, eventually stopping her finger on the overall evaluation word 'valuable'.
Lucky fruit!
The fruits that Bakara, a future executive of the Golden Emperor, ate!
Although it is a lower-level Luck Fruit, it still possesses the ability to manipulate luck.
Wealth, love, future prospects—with it, everything is within reach.
The sound of uniform, synchronized inhalation immediately enveloped the deck.
Tina's gaze was somewhat vacant as she ran her fingers over the delicate texture.
Ayn held the captured robot research blueprints in her hands and shook her head secretly.
Her contributions were enough to warrant receiving the Restore Fruit from headquarters. For someone with a scientific background like her, the Restore Fruit was more practical than the Luck Fruit.
The one with the strongest reaction was the unfortunate Alice, who collapsed onto the deck, her face ashen, tears of regret streaming down her face.
why?
Why eat the Guardian Fruit?
Why are you in such a hurry to eat the Guardian Fruit?
If I had been more determined back then, I might have been able to change my fate with this fruit.
After defeating Yusta, the people of the entire country gradually regained their luck, except for Alice.
Her medical treatments were still riddled with problems, and the fruit still exhibited mutated effects.
In short, she remains the Navy's number one jinx.
Now, even Ghost Shark had to believe that some people are just born unlucky.
“This fruit.” Tina, holding a Pocky stick with lipstick marks on it, glanced at her subordinates and made a decision. “Let’s entrust it to Captain Lauren Tina for safekeeping. We can’t leave Latavia without her.”
Should we hand it over to Captain Laurentina?
A very reasonable solution!
Tina's subordinates stood at attention, no one objected, and saluted, "Yes, sir!"
"Leave it to me?" Laurentina tilted her head.
We can accept it as long as the navy takes it.
Fortunately, the girl placed the fruit on the glass counter in the vice-captain's office, so that anyone who wanted to eat it could just find her later.
The next day, in the living quarters on the upper deck of the ship.
The sailors of the Black Prison Fleet are having a meal.
Before Laurentina lay Alice's signature breakfast: a slice of toast, nutritious sea mammal milk, and a fragrant fried egg.
Laurentina rolled up the fried egg in bread, took a bite, and then drank the animal milk, thoroughly enjoying her meal.
It was a quiet morning. The curtains fluttered behind the small round porthole, and the shimmering light outlined fish leaping and kites soaring on the girl's prayer ribbons. Everything was growing slowly in the gentle passage of time, in an unbelievably tranquil way.
The others had similar breakfasts; none of the women ate excessively. Tina slowly took a bite of her fried egg, glancing at her sister as she did so.
"It's time to give the notice today. The government can't cover up what happened in Latavia. If nothing unexpected happens, everyone will be reassigned."
Position? The navy men silently strained their ears.
.
Just then, the Den Den Mushi rang.
"Boom boom boom boom...boom boom boom boom!"
"Kachcha".
Tina took the Den Den Mushi handed to her by her subordinate, and in the next moment, the Den Den Mushi instantly transformed into the image of Granny Tsuru's old age.
"Oh, are you still having breakfast?"
"Yes, Lieutenant General Tsuru, is there anything I can help you with?" Tina wiped her mouth with a tissue.
"Well, this incident has gotten a bit out of hand!" Tsuru's elegant laughter came through the Den Den Mushi, clearly in a good mood. "The destruction of an 'Absolute Sanctuary' recognized by the World Government by the Buster Call is truly horrifying, and it has caused quite a bit of panic on the seas."
After all, there are quite a few demilitarized zones recognized by the world government.
"The member states also hope that the world government can provide an explanation."
"Ha, how ridiculous." Tina pulled down her purple sunglasses and said disdainfully, "Speaking of which, those members of the royal family have quite a lot of money deposited in Latavia Bank."
"Let's put that aside for now," Crane said with a helpless smile. "At least the ocean has one less dark kingdom. Let's talk about how the World Government handled this."
Oh?
This immediately put the entire fleet on high alert.
"The government is clearly aware of what's going on in Latavia. King Yusta built the gambling city to attract tourists, and then used luck manipulation and drug control to seize wealth and labor, which in turn benefited the city, forming a closed loop."
Although causing conflict is wrong and not in the government's interest, due to public opinion, the government ultimately decided to promote you all.
"Yes, yes." The navy personnel nodded. This was a huge matter; the government couldn't hide it.
"Therefore, Tina is promoted to Major General, Lauren Tina is promoted to Major, Ein is promoted to Captain, Alice is promoted to Lieutenant, and the rest are promoted one rank."
"Furthermore, Laurentina should also consider her own codename," Crane said with a gentle smile.
"Hmm?" Ghost Shark asked, "Does a major need to consider codenames?"
At this point, Tina explained to her that, just as pirates pursue a prestigious reputation, naval officers are also given code names for promotion as a form of intimidation.
For example, Black Prisoner Tina, Smoker, and other officers also adopted code names at the colonel level, such as Ghost Spider, Fire Mountain, Mole, etc.
"I see," Laurentina nodded, pointing her head at the Den Den Mushi, and said, "I hope the codename is Specter, the Specter that tears pirates apart."
“Ghost Shark.” Tsuru nodded. “Okay, there’s one more thing.”
"What is it, Granny Crane?" Laurentina stopped talking in time.
"In another month it will be 1514. The World Conference will be held in three months. Specter, you cannot lead the ship alone for the time being. Follow Tina to welcome the king of the member state."
"World Conference?"
"Yes, the navy is currently under a strain. In addition to guarding the base, we also have to send troops to escort the royal family. There are no new recruits assigned to you right now. If you want to lead a ship on your own, you'll have to wait until the next batch of recruits graduates next year."
"That's alright," Laurentina said noncommittally. "So, is the destination of the Black Prison Fleet confirmed?"
“Yes, it’s a country in the East China Sea.” Crane’s tone was full of emotion.
Could the East China Sea be that kid's lair?!
"It's the Goa Kingdom in the East Blue, the hometown of that bastard Garp!"
what?
Chapter 48 The Next Generation of Navy
Let's go to the Goa Kingdom, Luffy's hometown.
Logically, the royal families of East Asian kingdoms are usually escorted by Garp, who can also take the opportunity to visit his grandson.
But the main topic of this world conference was the disruption of the world order by the revolutionary Dragon, a former naval officer and Garp's son.
