Pirates: Your Emperor is Back!

In terms of geographical situation and strategic location, Wano Country is undoubtedly one of the most special countries on this sea.

The New World, located in the second half of the Great Line, is closed to the outside world and does not accept outsiders, let alone join the World Government as a franchise country.

Extremely exclusive, extremely unique.

Even the navy's warships cannot easily land in Wano.

Because around Wano Country, there is no concept of "offshore" at all. Instead, there are steep cliffs and raging waterfalls!

After going upstream along the waterfall, you directly entered the territory of Wano Country and came to the inland sea of ​​Wano Country.

Here, there are the main island of Wano and a special island called "Onigashima".

…

At first glance, Barlow gives the impression of a naive and silly marine.

But nothing could be further from the truth.

As I said before, it is impossible for a guy with no brains and only know how to act recklessly to become a Vice Admiral of the Navy Headquarters.

But among the ranks of the Vice Admiral of the Navy Headquarters, there are indeed many guys like Barlow.

Is it an extra special move?

Of course not.

In fact, those guys are not stupid, but the "obsession" in their hearts is so strong that they put it into practice every moment.

This is actually a behavior that is difficult for ordinary people to understand. Therefore, at first glance, ordinary people will mistake their behavior as so-called "silly".

But in fact, this is a quality that ordinary people cannot achieve.

Only those who turn their obsessions into daily behaviors can stand out among the mediocre people and stand tall on this sea.

Barlow is one.

Therefore, from a practical level, Barlow's strategic acumen is actually quite good, even surpassing some of his lieutenant general colleagues.

During the "investigation" operation against Wano, Barlow actually knew the "delicate" status of Wano.

It can almost be said to be the base camp of the underground forces at sea. Everyone who knows a little bit about the underground world knows exactly what a terrifying and huge position the country of Wano occupies in the underground world.

Barlow knew very well that he stood as a "Navy".

Although the G-T Naval Branch nominally has completely independent law enforcement powers.

But without the permission of his superiors, that is, the Navy Headquarters, if he directly investigates Wano, it will inevitably cause quite a stir.

But Barlow is still going.

Because that is the unique paranoia of the man named "Barlow".

It’s like the naval hero [Iron Fist] Garp has been chasing [Pirate King] Gol D. Roger for his whole life;

Just like [Black Wrist] Zefa, in order to control his inner hatred and implement his "no killing" principle, he would rather give up his position as a powerful general;

Another example is [Akainu] who would rather kill ten thousand by mistake than let one go;

Another example is the giant navy Hagwal D. Sauro who fought tooth and nail to protect Nico Robin, and [Ao Pheasant] who let Nico Robin go;

There are many, many more people...

They all implemented their "obsession".

From the perspective of others, what these people do is actually beyond the comprehension of many people.

Some kind-hearted people felt that the killing navy was so aggressive that he himself became one of the unstable elements in the sea;

There are also people who hate pirates who feel that the two navy crews who let Nico Robin go were too indecisive, thus burying many consequences for the sea.

And so on...

It is difficult to comment on the merits and demerits of what these people have done, and they do not need comments from others.

Because that's who they are.

The strong obsession they possess prevents them from doubting the path they are walking on.

No one can stop them, and no one else needs to guide them.

Those who only blindly follow the masses will be inactive in this life, with no achievements, no faults, no sorrow and no joy...

Only those who are determined in their obsessions can do something that will make the world remember them.

-They can change the world.

Whether he knows it or not, Barlow is such a person.

So, he walked all the way, crossed the Red Earth Continent, came to the New World, and headed straight for the Country of Wano.

This is by no means a reckless act of enthusiasm, but a carefully considered action.

As the base commander of the G-T branch, he wants to protect the safety of the sea areas around Alabasta and at the same time implement his own "justice"!

The underground world tried to use force to invade the Four Seas Alliance, and tried to induce war within the Four Seas Alliance.

Such a plan will inevitably affect the peaceful and stable life in Alabasta and its surrounding areas, so Barlow must take care of it.

Fortunately - Barlow also has such strength.

Whether it is "faith" or "combat ability", Barlow is qualified.

The G-T Navy branch is also enough.

…

After a period of development, the G-T Navy branch has begun to take shape.

The people of Sky Island, also known as "Hab", are meteorologists. While maintaining fixed routes between Sky Island and Alabasta, they also opened their own meteorology courses.

Although Habu himself is not very good at contacting outsiders, his attainments in meteorology are real.

Soon, a group of navigators with professional qualities walked out of Habu's class.

Naturally, some of them are willing to join the navy to protect the country and waters they love.

Therefore, the level of navigators in the G-T Navy Branch is quite high, even approaching that of the Navy Headquarters!

In terms of actual combat effectiveness, some abandoned people also voluntarily joined the G-T Navy branch and formed an abandoned special attack force.

Although the number is small, its individual combat effectiveness is extremely powerful. Coupled with the power of Shangkong Island's specialty, the mobility of the entire unit has increased dramatically, and its strength cannot be underestimated.

Undoubtedly, it was this abandoned army that was the first to use the "shellfish" that is a special product of Sky Island in large-scale actual combat.

Their bodies are tough enough to withstand the powerful impact of using shellfish weapons!

This abandoned army is indeed the powerful force that Crocodile has longed for in his dreams!

——They are now affiliated with the G-T Naval Branch.

…

After perfect cooperation, the ships of the G-T Naval Branch successfully approached the waters of Wano Country.

They move extremely quickly.

After arriving in the waters near Wano Country, they separated part of the elite combat force and boarded a special boat modified from shellfish.

They followed the waterfall all the way upstream and arrived at Wano Country smoothly.

According to the original plan of Barlow and others, they should wait here temporarily while collecting as much information about underground forces as possible.

But at this moment, there is a problem that is bothering Barlow.

"Na na na, look."

Balora called a navigator beside him, pointed at the chart in his hand, and compared it with the distance.

"This should be the Ghost Island, right?"

Barlow looked quite surprised.

"But why is there nothing now?"

"What about the island?"

The sea in front of me is empty...
