The Strongest Navy in History, The End of New World Pirates

The Strongest Pirate Clown Buggy's Life and Death Are Unknown

The newspaper with the largest circulation in the pirate world, under the personal supervision of Morgans, the World Economic News Agency published several copies in a row, allowing this big news to spread throughout the world.

A day had passed after the war, and Smoker was still on the warship. He spent a hundred berries to buy a newspaper. The headlines on it were more shocking than the last. That birdman was the biggest headline party in the pirate world. He was fanning the flames behind the scenes and putting the navy on the spot.

The newspaper also included several large close-up pictures. The first one showed Buggy the Clown laughing after defeating Admiral Akainu. The second one showed Altria using her ultimate move to destroy the island with a kilometer-long lightsaber. The third one showed the appearance of Rogue Town after it disappeared into the sea.

I have to say that their reporters are very professional, every photo they take is better than those taken by the navy. Logically speaking, the Five Elder Stars have no shortage of Animal-type Bird-Bird Fruits, but the quality of their printed newspapers is not as good as Morgans', let alone the authenticity of their news.

The World Government has been dealing with the World Economic News Agency both openly and covertly, and has never stopped investigating Morgans, its president. They have beheaded and treated him like a dog many times, causing the king of the underground dark world to always appear in the form of a beast with an animal-type devil fruit.

Despite being targeted for so many years, he is still alive and well, firmly holding the right to speak with the best-selling newspaper, and is also a major provider of intelligence. In the end, no one could do anything to Morganse.

The newspapers were implicitly belittling the navy, exaggerating the influence of Buggy the Clown, and constantly praising Altria's strength. The two originally unknown little people became household names with Morgans' deliberate promotion, to the point where everyone knew them.

“You really can’t judge a person by his appearance.”

Smoker looked at Altria who was eating voraciously. This "noble girl" with stunning beauty had a pile of empty bowls and plates in front of her, all of which she had eaten by herself.

“Another bowl, please.”

Altria handed the empty bowl to the chef on the warship. She alone eats as much as a dozen adult men. Now all the navy cooks are revolving around her. She has a small body less than two meters tall but a stomach that can never be filled.

Tashigi, also a woman, sat next to the blonde girl and kept serving tea and water to Altria. This attentiveness was never used on her superior, Smoker.

As a collector of famous swords, Tashigi was very interested in Altria's sword. Her eyes never left her sword of stars. She thought about it for a long time and finally asked what was in her mind.

"Lady Altria, I'm sorry to ask you a question. I've never seen the sword in your hand before. Is it the supreme sword?"

"Don't call me Sir, just call me Altria."

"My sword is not one of the Twelve Supreme Swords. It is called the Sword of Promised Victory. I got it from a big lake."

The blonde girl answered the other party's question and felt a grain of rice at the corner of her mouth. She licked it and put it back into her mouth. She had been summoned to this world for several days and this was the first time she had eaten such a full meal. Moreover, the food in the navy was quite good.

"Your cooking skills are really great, please give me another bowl"

"Okay, Lady Altria, you need to wait a moment. You have already finished the previous pot. I will make you another one right away."

The ship's chef had no ill will towards this gluttonous girl. Although her appetite was a little big, she was very strong. If she hadn't come to the rescue of the navy, who knows how many sailors would have died.

The murderous pirates will not show mercy to a cook who has no fighting ability. Between the navy and the pirates, only the latter can surrender, and the former will never have a good ending if they surrender.

After the great battle in Rogue Town, only two warships were left in the navy. One of them was taken away by Admiral Akainu, who took away the bodies of the fallen navy and returned to the navy headquarters with Altria.

Another ship, led by Admiral Kizaru, is conducting a large-scale search and investigation of the sea area in order to find any trace of the Joker Pirates. Even a piece of wood from the other pirate ship will be enough.

Under that terrifying island-destroying move, all traces were wiped out with one sword, and the Joker Pirates disappeared on the spot. Did Buggy really die from that sword move?

A group of military doctors gathered around Sakaski. When he was bandaging his wound, Marshal Sengoku's Den Den Mushi called him. The first one was to express concern about his physical condition, and the second was to express concern about Altria.

"She has agreed to join the navy. Marshal Zhan Guo, you should consider how to treat her."

Throwing the problem to the admiral gave the wise general a headache. This period was not the later period of large-scale naval conscription. The rapid promotion of a person with no naval experience to the admiral had never happened in naval history.

The Navy is a violent agency under the jurisdiction of the World Government, and its main source of budget comes from here. Adding an additional admiral will take up a lot of budget, and such matters need to be negotiated with the Five Elders. The Navy Admiral does not have the final say in the Navy.

"I have considered this situation with Crane. We have decided to temporarily appoint an admiral candidate as the new admiral. I need to talk to Marshal Kong about this."

However, money is a minor issue. The fact that the navy can absorb such a strong man is a huge spiritual encouragement to the entire navy of the world. In the future, in the battles with pirates, they don't have to be as cautious as before.

The navy has no shortage of middle and lower-level soldiers. The only thing it lacks is high-end combat power. There are too many places for high-end combat power to defend, and they are constrained everywhere. They are unable to gather all their strength and work together to completely wipe out the pirates at sea.

The New World in the second half of the Grand Line has always been a paradise for pirates, and the navy's power there can only barely be maintained. With the addition of Altria, this situation may be broken.

After eating and drinking, Altria was arranged to a private room. There are very few such private rooms on the warship, and only those with the rank of lieutenant admiral and above have the right to use them. There were also two female navy officers standing guard outside the room waiting for orders at any time. The navy's courtesy to her was very high.

The blonde girl took out something that looked like a Bluetooth headset from her pocket, put it directly on her left ear, pressed the switch on it, and received a man's voice.

"Altria, you are doing a good job. Just focus on lurking in the navy and report to me as soon as you have any new intelligence."

"Okay, young master."

But who would have thought that behind this major event in Rogue Town, there was a pair of dark hands hiding in the dark pushing all this...
