Chapter 85 King of Souls
The death of the former Navy Admiral in the Battle of Marineford and the appointment of an unaffiliated Artoria as acting Admiral are not the most outrageous news.
Destroying the Revolutionary Army headquarters, wiping out the Red-Haired Shanks Pirates, one of the Four Emperors, and expanding the number of admirals to twelve, this kind of future is unacceptable to most pirates, and it also lets these minions learn what justice that reigns over the world is.
Sakaski will have more blood on his hands in the future. The execution ground of the Marine Headquarters is his favorite place to go. No one knows how many pirates have been executed here, and perhaps some of the pirates' immediate family members. Without the strong navy backing him up, he would not be able to do it.
Just taking Admiral Akainu as an example is enough to prove how domineering and overbearing the navy of the future will be. They have money and the highest combat power. They can destroy the Four Emperors' pirate groups at will. This behemoth is already suffocating some people, including causing dissatisfaction from the World Government.
Originally, the Five Elders thought that by controlling the navy’s military expenditures, they would be able to keep this violent agency in their hands, but they did not expect that such a problem would occur in the future. Where on earth did Altria get so much gold?
Akainu, Kizaru, and Aokiji are still admirals five years later. Excluding Smoker, who is a legitimate admiral, where did the other admirals come from? Were they all recruited by the future admirals? With such a strong force in the navy five years later, the navy really has the strength to challenge the World Government and say no to its direct superiors.
Most of the admiral-level combat forces that appear in the picture are just some black outlines, but some tricks can be seen in this detail. The careful residents of Fishman Island discovered that one of the navy admirals seemed to have organs like fish gills on his face.
"Among the twelve future admirals, one is actually a fishman. He doesn't look like Jinbe Boss from the physique."
"When did our fish-man tribe produce another tough guy like this?"
"With Fitz joining the Straw Hat Pirates and this future admiral, our Fishman Island is finally saved."
If this group of mermen and mermaids can recognize it, naturally other intelligent creatures can recognize it as well. I didn't expect that the future acting marshal could even accept mermen. This really fully reflects the philosophy she upholds.
The mermaid king Neptune issued another order, to search for the future navy fish-man admiral in the Fish-man Island according to the outline of the fish-man on the light screen. He would be on par with the three old admirals and would definitely not be inferior in strength. It would be beneficial to the Dragon Palace to establish a good relationship in advance.
Fitz, who inherited the legacy of Poseidon, has a bad impression of Fish-Man Island, so he can only hope that the future Fish-Man General can help Ryugu and Fish-Man Island to avoid disaster. Neptune is very familiar with placing hopes on other people.
First they were protected by the Whitebeard Pirates, then by the Big Mom Pirates, and finally it was the Straw Hat Pirates' turn. In short, since Princess Otohime failed to save herself, these mermaids have become completely dependent on outsiders as saviors, and they will go all the way down this familiar road, just like their ancestors eight hundred years ago.
The scene about the navy in the year 1525 of the Sea Calendar ended like this. The Thousand Sunshine was sailing in the sea in the light curtain. The visit of Admiral Akin did not affect the happy atmosphere of the Straw Hat Pirates.
After having a good meal and a few drinks, everyone on the boat began to enjoy Skull Brook's music. Luffy and the others looked intoxicated by the beautiful violin music. They also wanted to join in the performance, but unfortunately their poor knowledge of music theory stopped them.
"It would be great if we could play a musical instrument, so we could accompany Brook to play more beautiful music. Learning a musical instrument is quick, so learning a song would be fine."
Luffy had a drink prepared for him by the shemale Sanji hanging around his neck. He noticed Brook playing alone and seemed a little lonely. Such small emotions of the crew members were keenly captured.
A white cloud carried Nami and her battle pet Xiaobei floating in the air, and her words extinguished the captain's unrealistic thoughts, "Luffy, I don't have any musical talent. You should be content to have a musician as your companion on the sea."
"Luffy, I have been on the sea for many years, and the musical ability displayed by Brook can be said to be at the top level on the sea. Many musicians do not live as long as this guy. Brook's music, which has been accumulated over the years, all tells stories." Robin's praise for this lustful bone came from the heart. Brook is also a very interesting guy and a reliable partner at critical moments.
"Luffy, I can fulfill your wish. Just before we go to Dressrosa, I, Brook, will present a grand performance for my friends, and this requires my old friends to make an appearance."
Brook put down the violin in his hand and inserted the Soul-Destroying Sword into the deck. A green light emanating from the soul level spread out from the skeleton. "The Lord of Souls orders me here. Huangquan opens the gate for me. All members of the Rumba Pirates, wake up! Wake up quickly!"
At the call of the user of the Yomiuri Fruit, a gate to heaven appeared behind Brook. The gate was carefully carved with scenes of hell. The eighteen circles represented the eighteen levels of hell, and the gate of hell was alive and could hear the wails of the dead.
At the request of the King of Souls, the Gate of Hell opened a slight crack, and a strong cold wind came out from inside. The souls of the dead were released back to the world from the underworld through the Gate of Hell.
In the Rumbar Pirates that Brook previously belonged to, every member of the group was a musician. When they appeared in spirit form again, the dead held an instrument that they were best at in their hands. These undead spirits surrounded the King of Souls and waited for the latest instructions.
Brook, who displayed such terrifying abilities, had an eyeless and hollow skull and was already crying in front of his companions. He tried hard to hold back his sadness and wanted to give the best performance to Straw Hat Luffy, "Captain, please enjoy Binx's wine."
The Rumbar Pirates appeared in the form of spirits. Although they lost their most important physical body, they would not forget music even if they had been dead for many years. Under the command of their companion Brook, the prelude of the song Binx's Wine began to sound. They had cooperated together for many years, and even after being separated by the Yin and Yang, they still maintained their tacit understanding.
"Yo-ho-ho, Yo-ho-ho-ho..."
"Yo-ho-ho, Yo-ho-ho-ho..."
"I will bring Binx's wine to you, just like the sea breeze riding the waves at will. On the other side of the sea, the sunset is also noisy, and the birds are singing, drawing circles in the sky. Goodbye, the Silk Town of the Harbor, let's sing a song, a song of sailing..."
Brook and his spirit companions work closely together. He is a high-level orchestra by himself. Binx's wine resounds throughout the sea again.
