Ghost Shark, but in the world of One Piece

Page 33

If we can't catch your son, we can still get back at you, right?

Enraged government officials ordered Garp to hold the G3 base, and the escort mission was handed over to the Black Prison Fleet.

Laurentina felt conflicted after hearing Crane's orders.

On the bright side, though, I can also go back to Rogge Town to visit my relatives.

......

The sudden demise of Latavia, the world's largest gambling city, has attracted the attention of numerous forces.

Morgans, who almost controlled public opinion in the region, was also summoned by the World Government and eventually reached an agreement on the Latavia incident.

"A major shock! The Navy Empress has wiped out the evil nation of Latavia!"

"Beautiful female naval warriors wreak havoc! Heroes who save civilians!"

"We choose justice! From the Goa Kingdom in the East Blue to Marineford on the Grand Line, Lieutenant Commander Specter's name is known to all!"

While the Black Prison Fleet was communicating with Cranes by phone, Morgans was also finishing printing in his enormous airship and distributing the newly printed newspapers around the world.

Somewhere in the New World, in a cave.

"Hmm? Laurentina's on the front page again." Shanks downed a large glass of wine, smacked his lips, and chuckled lightly. "It's been over a year, and she's really gotten too strong."

That expression...is it because she's thinking of Uta?

Beckman, with a toothpick in his mouth, glanced at his captain and continued wiping his pistol, jokingly saying, "If we had recruited her back then, she might be a high-ranking officer in the Red-Haired Pirates now."

Hahahaha!

Yasopp and Raki Lu burst into laughter.

"What a joke." Shanks chuckled as he poured a glass for his second-in-command, only to find the bandage around his waist tearing again. "Uh... she can't possibly join the pirates. Let's not talk about that. Let's think about how to deal with the Big Mom Pirates."

The final battle for the title of one of the Four Emperors is about to begin, Shanks...

We must consider whether this is the only opportunity we'll ever have!

In the new world, the colossal ship Gran Tesoro is under construction.

"Hahaha, well done, Navy!" Tesoro, dressed in a pink suit, took the newspaper delivered by the newsbird and smiled broadly.

After reaching an agreement with the World Government, the construction of Gran Tesoro proceeded smoothly. With the support of the Donquixote Family, the only trouble he faced was Latavia.

Only by eliminating it can Guran Tezoro become the world's number one entertainment city.

The navy actually did him a great favor.

“Mr. Tesoro.” The newly recruited executive, Baraka, pouted her sexy lips and couldn’t help but remind him, “While this is indeed a good thing, the Lucky Fruits we purchased were also lost during the Buster Call bombing.”

"Hahaha, it's just a mere Devil Fruit." Tesoro stretched out his hand and crafted a pair of golden earrings for Baccarat. "But we possess money! With money, you can control everything. With money, even the World Government will treat you like an honored guest!"

"One Devil Fruit? I could buy hundreds or thousands if I wanted! Hahahaha."

Tezzolo flung the newspaper aside with a clatter, his arrogant laughter echoing through the blue sky.

A whale-shaped ship in a certain sea area.

"Gurarararar..." The man holding the naginata accepted the wine his sons brought him and laughed heartily, "These little brats from the Navy are really good."

"Yeah, beautiful and scary." A guy with pineapple hair clinked glasses with a white-bearded man and jumped onto the ship's railing. "Her speech really got the nearby sailors excited!"

Thinking of the recent relentless attacks, Marco reluctantly downed his wine. "And Father, we... have also saved quite a bit of money in the Kingdom of Latavia."

what?

"My money!!!"

Whitebeard couldn't help but stand up and rip off several IV tubes from his body. His instinctive act of hoarding his treasures caused his sons to burst into laughter.

The economic situation of the Bai Group is obvious to everyone across the ocean. It can't be said that they are extremely wealthy; they are simply penniless.

Because Whitebeard had to send all his money back to his hometown, he always had his adorable sons pay for his meals at restaurants.

He had heard that deposits at Latavia Bank were safe and the interest, well, the returns were pretty good. That's why he decided to deposit his money there.

Yes, it's definitely not because I'm after that little bit of interest.

But who could have imagined...

The entire deck was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

......

Naval Headquarters, Marinevando.

After patrolling for several months, the Black Prison Fleet returned to its headquarters for rest and resupply.

After registering her arrival information, Ghost Shark was preparing to take her sisters to a restaurant for dinner before returning to Kuzana for her work report.

However, not long after they entered the port, a loud training shout came from the training ground.

Oh, are these the new recruits this year?

Laurentina glanced at Ain and Alice, then pulled them towards the main training ground.

I remember Granny He once said that her future subordinates would be chosen from among these people.

Last year, I trained hard here with a group of new recruits, and I miss it when I think about it.

I wonder what the quality of this year's new recruits will be like.

Laurentina walked toward the training field, and along the way, new naval recruits from other classes kept saluting her.

"Ah, that must be Major Specter, right? She's even more beautiful in person than in the pictures."

"Didn't you hear what Lieutenant General Tsuru said at the recruit assembly? Major Specter's henchmen will be selected from our class!"

"Yeah, we're really lucky this year! It's decided! Nobody can stop me from joining Major Specter's unit!"

"Ready for battle!" With a shout from Instructor Zephyr, the recruits instantly assumed combat stances.

Although it was just simple physical training, these recruits were already doing it quite well.

Unexpectedly good.

Laurentina's gaze wandered and she quickly spotted several familiar figures.

The tamer Peacock, and the timid sniper Lark.

They're all second-generation naval officers.

The two were quite strong. Apart from being timid, Hibari was fine, except that Peacock kept looking at him strangely.

The essence of training people is to fight sadism. This kid should join SWORD in the future.

That mischievous, gleeful expression is enough to make your heart race.

"Hmm? Colonel Smoker?" Near the viewing platform in the training ground, Laurentina spotted a familiar figure.

------------------

I'm so upset. I watched the latest One Piece: Red movie. The concept was good, but the plot... was just awful. I was already saddened by Specter's drastic nerf, sob sob. By the way, I'm urging people to vote. The recent votes haven't been great, maybe it's because of the transitional chapters?

Chapter 49 Laurentina, come up on stage and say a few words!

Following Smoker's gaze, his eyes moved to a corner at the edge of the recruits' quarters, where a short-haired girl with glasses stood.

Tashigi?

Is Smoker playing a raising simulation game?

Seeing Tina train Lauren Tina at the same time, did he also feel a strong urge to do the same?

"Colonel Smoker seems to be in quite a good mood."

Black leather boots made a cheerful sound on the training ground. Laurentina took small steps, her prayer ribbons and white lace-trimmed tulle skirt swaying in the wind with great depth.

“It’s you, Major Specter.” Smoker, with a cross on his back and two cigars in his mouth, smiled. “You’ve done a good job lately, eliminating such a vile king.”

"I was just doing my duty." Laurentina twirled a strand of hair with her hand and smiled lightly. "But you, you're not like our General Kuzan, a vulgar lolicon who likes to raise little girls, are you?"

These words startled Smoker.

Immediately after

This was the furious expression of a tough, straight man.

"I'm just checking on my subordinates' training!" Smoker said, biting his cigar tightly. "If headquarters hadn't called a meeting for colonels and above, I wouldn't have bothered coming."

The colonel is the base chief in all branches of the Four Seas, and is a crucial component of peace on the sea.

For him, guarding the island where Luo Jie's origins began and ended, and controlling the gateway for East Blue pirates to enter the Grand Line, was far more important than reporting for duty and holding meetings.

However, the World Conference, held every four years, is of utmost importance, and the safety of the kings of the member states is of paramount importance.

"Well, that's definitely your style."

Laurentina's gaze shifted back to the new naval recruits, and she and Smoker began to comment on the new naval class.

"It's Major Specter!" someone in the crowd suddenly shouted.

The recruits were stunned for a moment. The shout caused ripples on the surface of the lake like a stone thrown into a lake, and the crowd suddenly erupted in excitement.

"Ghost Shark Sister, I want to join your army!"

"Major, you fight, we follow; please lead us in upholding justice!"

"Captain Ain, keep up the good work! I hope you and Major Specter will be happy together!"

Here comes the result of its excessive popularity.

During their break, the new recruits shouted enthusiastically in this direction, forming a human wall in front of them like fans chasing after celebrities. The loud noise even attracted the attention of the officers working in the attic.

But did some strange content just float by?

Laurentina, carrying her guitar case, gave the new naval recruits an encouraging smile, while Ain waved to them as well.

It seems like Alice is the only one that no one is paying attention to?

Ghost Shark glanced to his side and, sure enough, saw the unlucky little guy pouting, clearly feeling down.

Just then, three female recruits approached Alice.

Sure enough, even Alice, who was considered one of the weaker members of the Flower Group 12, had followers. Smoker popped another cigar into his mouth, feeling a little envious.

Is he a newcomer to the medical field?

Wait, isn't that the peacock next to him the trainer?

Laurentina tensed up.

At this moment, the girl in the middle of the three stood in front of Alice with a blushing face, and as if doing a task, she mustered up her courage and asked shyly:

"Lieutenant Alice, could you... could you say something to me?"

There was a moment of silence in the crowd, followed by a burst of laughter a few seconds later.

Alice was stunned, wondering if she had misheard.

Laurentina and Ain laughed heartily on the side. No wonder they were Alice's fans; even their shouts were so refreshing and unique.

Even Zefa, who was walking after class, was stunned, pretending to push up his sunglasses to hide his smile.

Alice's face flushed instantly. She gritted her teeth and glared at him.

"No way out! No way out! No way out!"

"Mmm~ Thank you~"

The child opposite him hugged himself tightly, trembling violently at a rapid pace, with a satisfied expression on his face, seemingly accompanied by a hint of excitement.

Hey, hey, hey, can this kind of guy really uphold justice?

Wouldn't they willingly offer themselves to pirates?

At that moment, out of the corner of her eye, Laurentina noticed that beneath the peacock veil, her eyes curved into crescents and a 'healthy' smile bloomed on her lips.

That smile seemed to say, "Want a whipping?"

Disciplining people is terrifying.

"Laurentina." Zephyr walked over and looked at the noticeably changed Laurentina. "Your condition issue is resolved, and your strength has increased considerably. How about we give the kids a few words of encouragement?"

Since it's Professor Zephyr's request, then fine, Specter nodded.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, she straightened the collar of her clothes, stepped onto the platform, and the surrounding recruits couldn't help but cheer, attracting even more people.
