The bloody hand Mary of the pirate

Mary returned to the Dandelion feeling refreshed.

This is the effect of replenishing vitality. A rosy complexion and clear mind are all normal operations.

The Kizaru is still very powerful. It only took a laser to subdue a slightly smaller Neptune. Although the size is slightly smaller, it is relative. At least it will be no problem for Mary to suck up her full life force.

"Hey, you're back?"

In the conference room, Kuhlman was the only one still sitting there, studying the documents.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, he looked up, said hello, and then lowered his head again.

"Ah, I went to find someone to collect my debt, and I came back as soon as I finished."

As Mary spoke, she took off her military cap and put it aside.

Naturally, she sat on the main seat and picked up the latest issue of the newspaper to read.

"Hey, this guy Morgans has a special style of writing in Spring and Autumn Period."

Looking at the headline report on the news, Mary couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and said.

"It's just a basic public opinion propaganda method. The government should have contributed to the recent headlines. Almost all of them are positive news."

Coleman said calmly.

Purchasing channels, occupying the public opinion position?

It doesn't feel like something that would be done by the Warring Society.

Mary thought so in her heart.

"Is this Ms. Crane's idea?"

"I don't know, maybe. Anyway, if it were me, I would do the same."

Kuhlman said, closing the document in his hand.

"Whether it's true or not, it's necessary to praise a few of us. The great pirate era has had a great impact on the atmosphere of the entire world. The navy is now eager to set an example, and we are their chosen target.

"

"I see, is this a role model effect?"

Mary shrugged and put down the newspaper.

"Forget it, no matter what they think, we just have to be ourselves."

"No matter what circumstances I am in, I will always be me."

After saying that, she looked at Kullman who was flipping through the documents again and asked:

"Speaking of the others? I didn't seem to see them on the boat after I came back."

"Dasqi and Ai Xi accompanied Paul to the island to find a doctor. Enxia is currently enjoying the autumn breeze on the island. Anyway, we have to rest for a while, so we will just let her go."

"Are you fighting the autumn breeze..."

Enxiya's work in Qiufeng is just doing her own business.

"As a navy, the heads of pirates she hunted can't be exchanged for money now, right?"

"Who knows, I guess she has her own way."

"Hoho, black world?"

Mary shook her head and was silent for a moment.

The only sound in my ears was the sound of Kuhlman flipping through books.

"Hey, Kuhlman," Mary leaned on the table and looked at Kuhlman: "Speaking of which, you have been reading the documents since the beginning. What happened?"

"It's nothing, but you still have to watch." Kuhlman said in a deep voice, "You are responsible for fighting, and I am responsible for directing. Isn't this the position we set from the beginning? I was careless this time. The situation of Armand and Garrett

I couldn’t predict it, and it’s still lacking.”

"Well, to be honest, I don't think this is your problem."

Mary wiped her sweat secretly. Although Mary knew that Coleman had no other intentions, these words still made her a little embarrassed as she had been fishing all the way.

"Only by knowing the movements of all known people can we predict things that have already happened. Such as this."

Kuhlman said, took out a copy from the thick document and handed it to Mary.

"have a look."

Mary took the document and opened it to read. As she was flipping through it, Coleman's voice came from her ear.

"From the information in this document, the dragon has appeared frequently in the first half of the Grand Line recently, and has appeared on Drum Island and Upside Down Mountain. Although I don't know his purpose, I suspect that he may appear in Alabasta.

body."

"The reason is very simple. Alabasta has recently changed to a new king. It is said that the new king's political skills and conduct are remarkable. As the leader of the revolutionary army, Long, for this new king who can make the former rebel army belong,

I’m sure you’ll be a little curious too.”

"The land was nationalized and the means of capital production were made public... There are many similarities between this king's approach and Long's."

"Speaking of which, Mary, judging from this document, this new king should have a close relationship with you, right?"

Having said this, Kuhlman took out another document and handed it to Mary.

This time Mary did not take it, but looked at Kuhlman with a straight look, as if she had seen a ghost.

"Where did you get these documents?"

"I asked Vice Admiral He to fax me all the public information collected by the Naval Intelligence Office in the past six months. This is only a part of it. I have just read almost one-tenth of it."

"Speaking of it, the Naval Intelligence Department is really good at it. It can even detect signs of dragons."

Looking at Kullman who spoke in a calm tone while taking back the documents, Mary felt a little unhappy.

...You're not a bad guy either.

You can actually guess where the dragon is now based on this bit of information and your own intuition. Is this luck?

Or is it true strength?

"Speaking of which... I haven't heard much about the past from you."

Mary suddenly remembered something.

Kuhlman continued to look at the document without raising his head, and just said casually:

"He's just a general, no big deal."

"All right……"

Mary sighed and stood up.

"I'm still not good at doing these things. Just take your time and see. I'm going to take the first step."

"Huh? Where are you going?"

"bath."

Coleman's mouth twitched, a dark line on his face.

"...I remember it hasn't been three hours since you got out of the bathtub, right?"

"This is the joy of my life. In fact, it's just some boring things."

"But I like it."

Mary said this, picked up her hat and put it back on her head.

"Only when I am soaked in water can I feel my reality."

"...No, I'm so weak that I've almost lost consciousness. How can I still feel my reality?"

"Only when people are about to die can they understand what kind of person they are. The same goes for taking a bath!"

"No, no, no, I don't understand it at all."

Kuhlman suddenly felt a headache. Compared with the mountains of information in front of him, this colleague of his made him feel even more elusive.

Although her power made people feel safe and reliable, and she didn't have many flaws in her character, the way she acted was always beyond his expectations, especially since this guy would say some confusing words from time to time.

He held his forehead and raised his hand.

"Forget it, go take a shower quickly and stop tormenting me."

Mary snorted softly, turned around, pushed open the door of the conference room and left.

Coleman sighed and subconsciously touched around him, but found nothing.

"Hey, it's done, I've finished the coffee."

Looking at the empty teacups and bottles, Kuhlman felt the deep malice of the world.

"...Call Dasqi and ask them to bring a bottle with them when they come back."

Kuhlman thought this, shook his head, stood up, and walked to the deck.

He also needs to have some air and relax now.

However, Mary, who walked out of the door, did not go to the bathhouse, but went straight to the training room.

She was just joking. Although she liked taking baths, she didn't mean to want to soak in the water all day long.

At least, she has other things to do now, so she won't rest first.

Taking off her military uniform and putting on a suitable training uniform, Mary released her armed domineering energy.

Then, I picked up the dusk.

Armed domineering energy wrapped around the blade.

Looking at the dusk with hints of darkness, Mary was thoughtful.

"I see, this is armed color entanglement..."

As she spoke, she also took the initiative to wave the blade in her hand.

The sharp sound of breaking wind coming from the air was clearer than before.

Under Kizaru's guidance just now, Mary clearly felt that she had made some progress and found the right direction. She was now confident that she could take her knowledge to a higher level.

In comparison, armed colors cannot be put down. Although there are armed color strengthening elements, the efficiency of that thing is too low at first, and it is more troublesome to exchange it later. It is best to use it for breakthrough in the later stage when there is no way to advance.

, or keep it as a trump card.

Now it is better for me to rely on my own practice as much as possible to make progress.

Mary knew that although her strength was the strongest among the six, her talent was actually the worst among the six. It was just that the bonuses in various aspects of the system had allowed her to progress faster than everyone else.

But once she practices seriously, she can clearly feel the difference between herself and others.

It is no exaggeration to say that Mary's double-color domineering progress is almost the slowest among everyone.

Therefore, since your talent is not as good as others, you should work harder than others.

Now that she has obtained the weapon-colored domineering plug-in, she has to adapt to this sudden increase in power.

"The gas-like armed color is entangled outside the body, and then the next stage, external release, is to directly blow out the armed color domineering energy."

"The difference..."

Mary tried to wave the dusk, and the haki flew out, but within a few feet, the armed haki dissipated in the air.

"Sure enough... it's not that simple."

Mary felt a little chilled in her heart.

Directly turning the armed domineering energy wrapped around an object into substance and flying it away may seem like just one step, but in fact it's a huge difference.

Armed Haki is Qi born out of flesh and blood. The strengthening that is infused between flesh and blood and swords is essentially an ultimate filling, but the difficulty of actually condensing it into hardening is completely different. This is the first hurdle.

.

Moreover, how to keep the aura born from flesh and blood that it will not dissipate even after it leaves the body in the air, is the second hurdle.

Only by overcoming these two difficulties can Mary break through to the next stage.

Of course, simply and crudely stacking attributes is also possible, but the power gained in that way feels a bit unstable after all.

"Hmm...should I go pick up Kizaru's wool now?"

This ridiculous idea came to Mary's mind.

But it just passed by in a flash.

Thinking about it carefully, Kizaru has probably left the Shampoo Land at this time, right? Even if the headquarters can delay the delay, it shouldn't be too long. After all, Kizaru came to the Shampoo Land this time because he had a mission, so he must still go back to the mission.

of.

In the distant naval base, Kizaru, who had just finished arguing with Sengoku on the grounds that he was injured in the battle with Rayleigh and could not return home, sneezed hard.

"Hey...well, who is plotting against me?"

…

"Master, what should we do now?"

Standing on the edge of the cliff, Gabriel looked at the rough sea in the distance and asked Saint Edved.

"Rayley's done it, there are others."

Saint Edwin smiled, looking confident.

"We still need a lot, in all aspects."

"Rayleigh, the Lord, plus our three imperial ministers and numerous CP0s, even if we face the Four Emperors, we will not be worse than them. What else do we need?"

Gabriel couldn't help but wonder.

"Not even close. Gabriel, the world needs more than strength."

"As for the intelligence, I can also be responsible for it." Gabriel added.

"It's still not enough." Saint Edved smiled mysteriously.

"..." Gabriel was puzzled.

"Gabriel, let me ask you, where does the wealth in this world come from?"

Saint Edwin asked her.

"……Um?"

This question really stumped Gabrielle, and after a while, she couldn't answer it.

Saint Edwin shook his head with a smile and turned to look at the Chambord Islands.

The bustling crowd was reflected in his eyes.

"Gabriel, think carefully about who created everything we have now."

"Clothes, food, our weapons, our ships, where do they all come from?"

Gabriel followed Saint Edved's gaze and said thoughtfully:

"……civilian?"

"Yes, civilians are everything."

"What we have now is ultimately brought about by the people."

Saint Edwin nodded and said.

Gabriel was even more confused when he heard this: "Does this have anything to do with what we just said?"

"Don't you understand yet, Gabriel?" Saint Edwin raised his hand slightly and pointed to the crowd: "We still need them."

"...?"

Gabrielle opened her eyes slightly.

"People's hearts and minds are the most powerful weapon. We want our power to be justified, and for this, they are the most important and critical step."

"When the person supported by the whole world is me, everything has just begun."

Having said this, Saint Edved turned to look at Gabriel, who seemed to have the pearl of wisdom in his grasp.

"I have asked the Black Knight to find Morgans. The birdman is an indispensable part of our plan later. He controls the mouthpiece of this world."

"Water Dragon and Pluto will protect Vinicius secretly, so that I can do my thing with peace of mind."

"...What about us?"

Gabriel couldn't help but ask.

Saint Edwin smiled slightly and took out a permanent pointer from his arms.

"This is……"

Saint Edwin looked at Gabriel and said something in a calm tone that shocked Gabriel to the extreme.

"Let's go to Baldigo."

"...!!???"
