Pirates: The Strongest Justice

Naval Headquarters, Marineford.

The red sun is rising, and the salty sea breeze blows on the world's largest fortress with hazy sunshine.

After so many days of rest, Marineford finally regained his former self.

The destruction of the Whitebeard Pirates added even more majesty and heaviness to this steel fortress.

And today, on the vast campus of the headquarters.

The dark crowd lined up in an extremely orderly manner. The white cloak of justice was blown by the sea breeze, but the upright body remained unwavering and the face was solemn and solemn.

Today is Marine's collective promotion ceremony.

The medal ceremony was scheduled to start at eight o'clock on time. It was now 7:30 in the morning, and it was only half an hour before the ceremony started.

A few minutes later.

Atlas was dressed neatly and put on a pure white suit. He carried a cloak of justice of the same color behind him, and his white cuffs swayed from side to side as he walked.

I walked slowly to the front of all Marines, where rows of seats were neatly placed.

Find the designated spot and sit down.

On the left and right are Akainu and an empty chair. Looking at the nameplate on it, it seems to be Kizaru?

Kizaru came back to Marineford a few days ago. After all, such an important event as the award ceremony cannot be missed easily.

As for the current situation in New World——

It can only be said that pirates are just pirates after all. Basically, all the famous pirates are robbing the Whitebeard Pirates' territory, and among them, the Big Mom Pirates are the most violent.

Especially The Fish Men Island, which she has coveted for a long time, she even sent her subordinate Baron Dandan to personally go to The Fish Men Island to deliver an ultimatum.

——How about planting the flag of the Big Mom Pirates and becoming her personal dessert processing factory from now on.

Or, she personally sends people to conquer the entire The fish men island.

The result was obvious. Jinbei, who had already communicated with Atlas, beat up Baron Eggman and others, and then threw them out of The Fish Men Island.

Such behavior undoubtedly made BIG·MOM extremely angry.

But currently the entire Charlotte family is busy annexing and digesting a large amount of territory, and has no time to take care of the small The fish men island.

However, judging from Big Mom's own temperament, this matter will never be let go so easily.

After withdrawing his thoughts, Atlas turned his head and looked at the team members standing behind him.

[White Hunter] Smoker, [Epee] Cyrus, Enel...

"snort!"

As if aware of Atlas's gaze, Enel snorted coldly, his eyes wandering.

"Tsk, tsk."

Enel is a guy who shines brightly when given a little sunshine.

In the Summit War, relying on Thunder Fruit's comprehensive ability and Zephyr's mediocre physical skills, he was able to kill a Red Hair Pirates cadre.

Ever since, this guy drifted away.

After recovering from his injuries, he hurriedly ran to Atlas to challenge him.

The final result was of course a severe beating by Atlas.

Although he was cured by the horse charm, the pain was unavoidable.

"Hey! Atlas, long time no see!"

Across an empty seat, Gion's mature voice sounded.

"Ah? Didn't we just meet at the headquarters meeting not long ago?"

Atlas raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a smile.

"Brother Atlas, you are still as confused as ever."

Gion's face stiffened, then he put his forehead on his hands and sighed.

This guy hasn't changed at all...

"By the way, when you see your old acquaintance, why don't you say hello?"

Gion patted Hina's roundness behind him and said with a narrow expression.

"It's Hina. It's been a long time since we last met."

Atlas also scratched his head in embarrassment.

Since he graduated from the elite training camp, he has basically been in contact with other people except Smoker and Rosinante.

He spends most of his time either catching pirates or exercising.

Even if he takes a break from his busy schedule to come to the headquarters, Hina and the others are not at the headquarters.

After all, they are just school-level officers now, and their freedom cannot be compared with Atlas.

"Hina, it's true that I haven't seen you for a long time. I didn't expect you to become a Marine Admiral so quickly."

Hina's face looked a little complicated.

She originally thought that everyone was on the same starting line. She even thought that Atlas was slightly stronger than them, and she even ridiculously challenged him.

Later, he was provoked by Atlas alone, and he finally recognized the gap between the two.

However, she never thought of it.

This guy was promoted to Admiral so quickly. He was forcibly added after the three Admiral seats were full! !

A feeling of powerlessness arose in Hina's heart.

The gap between people is sometimes really big.

"This, it's just luck, just luck."

"Defeating Whitebeard and sitting on the most powerful throne in the world cannot be explained by a little bit of luck, and..."

Hina looked serious, paused and continued:

"Now some people outside have begun to give you the title of [the strongest creature on land, sea, and air]."

"..."

Atlas was slightly startled, why did this thing sound weird?

Suddenly, his ears twitched slightly and he subconsciously looked into the crowd.

Then he saw Gruss winking at him and whispering something. Judging from the shape of his mouth, it should be the word "boss".

"This kid..."

Atlas shook his head and laughed, waving in the direction of Grus.

In this situation, even if this guy's father is the Rear Admiral of the headquarters and is about to be promoted to Vice Admiral, there is no way he can move around at will.

"Hey! Boss, I finally see you."

Gruss trotted over with a smile on his face.

"It's so hard to be under my father. Boss, please transfer me to your command sometime. This guy Smoker has risen through the ranks so quickly."

"Come under my command? You have to be prepared to endure hardships, and the danger level of New World is not comparable to that of Grand Line."

Atlas looked Grus up and down.

He has good energy and a strong sense of life. It seems that this guy's father didn't take too much care of him just because he was an only son.

Flowers grown in greenhouses cannot withstand wind and rain.

"There is no problem at all. If you die on the battlefield one day, it will be a worthy death!"

Gruss vowed, beating his chest loudly.

But he didn't notice that behind him, a middle-aged man looked here with twinkling eyes.
