One week later, New World, the waters near Wano Country.

The sunlight caused some golden scales to appear on the blue sea surface. A large warship was moored beside an uninhabited island with barren vegetation.

Arturia was wearing a blue and white dress, sitting on a rock on the shore, holding a fishing rod, and was fishing.

The curved silver fishhook looks like a crescent moon, and the tip of the hook flashes with a cold light, but there is no bait on it.

"How can a fish bite you like this?"

Wearing a rose-red women's suit, the tall and beautiful Major General Hina stood aside with her hands on her hips and muttered.

Kate has been fishing like this for several days. Although the task of monitoring the enemy is relatively boring, isn't fishing without bait a complete waste of time?

"Who knows? Maybe there are fish that are good for this."

Arturia looked at the rippling sea surface with a calm expression, her watery eyes were as clear as gems, and as she gazed, she had an elegant and noble temperament.

Hina: "..."

No, no, no fish is stupid enough to bite an empty hook.

However, as a subordinate, it is best not to argue with the leader, even if she doesn't mind.

"Let me see what's going on over there."

Hina held a cigarette in her mouth, stepped on her feet, activated the Six Style "Shaving" and jumped onto the gray rock at the edge of the island.

She stood on the top of a towering rock, took out a pair of military high-power telescopes, and looked at the sea thousands of meters away to the west-north.

There is an island over there that is full of brown gravel and has many bare rocks and mounds, called Rubble Island.

The rubble island is not small, but it is too desolate. There is almost no vegetation on the island, and it is even more barren and desolate than the uninhabited small desert island at their feet.

It is said to be near Wano Country, but in fact, Rubble Island is more than 20 kilometers away from the inland sea of ​​Wano Country that is surrounded by a circle of cliffs and waterfalls.

In other words, it is not located within the sea area with special geographical environment of Wano Country.

(The sea area of ​​​​Wano is a special area. There is no normal coast. It is surrounded by cliffs and waterfalls. After going up, there is the inland sea. The inland sea contains the main island of Wano and Onigashima, the headquarters of the Beast Pirates.)

Hina raised her hands and looked over there with a high-powered telescope.

At this moment, the rubble island, which was originally barren and sparsely populated, could be described as a bird without shit, was unusually busy, with crowds of people, flags flying, and lively.

"Recruiting troops, recruiting troops... In the past few days, the Beast Pirates have been busy recruiting troops."

Not noticing any unusual movement, Hina put down the telescope, shrugged and complained, "Hina is speechless. Don't those little pirates know that they just treat them as cannon fodder?"

In the battle between the two emperors, their navy did not dare or was unwilling to intervene easily, so they just stood aside and watched the show for the time being.

Those little pirates, like sharks smelling blood, rushed forward one after another.

"Don't say that. For those pirates, this is an opportunity to stand out... How would they normally have the chance to join the Beasts Pirates?"

Arturia's hand holding the fishing rod moved, and the surface of the sharp iron hook that sank under the water suddenly released a burst of dreamy silver light. The light was like moonlight, like white jade, like morning dew, spreading out silently.

In the blink of an eye, the rippling blue sea surface for several kilometers nearby was filled with a beautiful mercury sheen.

It's just that this kind of light seems invisible to others. All the sailors on the White Dragon warship parked nearby turned a blind eye.

Hina didn't notice anything unusual and continued to complain:

"You're just being used by the beasts. Aren't you afraid that your death will be worthless?"

If she were a pirate, she would never get involved in such a dangerous situation, but would just stand by and watch.

"If you are willing to take the bait, it is actually not difficult to catch fish even if there is no bait."

Arturia smiled slightly, raised her hand, and white water suddenly surged on the sea surface. A large yellow croaker weighing several kilograms was pulled up, and it kept swaying its tail.

At the same time, the mercury-like light on the sea disappeared.

Hina was stunned and stammered: "You...how did you do this?"

Damn it, she made sure there was no bait on it.

Even among the various Devil Fruit abilities, I have never heard of any that can make a fish bite an empty hook...

Arturia grabbed the delicious yellow croaker with her white-gloved hand, and with a satisfied smile on her face like a foodie, she explained:

"I told the yellow croaker that the fishhook was delicious, better than shrimp and clam meat, and after eating it, it no longer had to worry about being hungry... Then, it happily bit the hook."

Hina: "..."

Σ(?д?llll), there are too many flaws.

Can she still communicate with the fish? She also tricks the fish into biting the empty hook, which feels a bit sinister...

Arturia grabbed the yellow croaker's mouth, removed the hook, and said calmly:

"Actually, Kaido is just a fisherman with an empty hook. He keeps silent about the risks of war and tells the pirates that as long as they have achieved military exploits and no qualifications are required, they can directly become Gifters Shinuchi...

Even the big billboard (All-Stars).

Power, status, money, beauty, devil fruits...he doesn't hesitate to reward them.

Although it is just a pie in the sky, it is undeniable that this is very tempting to many pirates, causing them to ignore the danger and continue to attack, just like this fish that bites an empty hook."

Hina's face twitched as she looked at the yellow croaker whose tail kept swaying in her hand, as if trying to break free from the restraints of her hand.

She knew that this fish would be cooked at noon and served on the table as a fragrant braised fish, and then enter her and Kate's stomachs...

She pouted and said, "That sounds really ironic."

She could no longer look directly at the cheerful and joyful pirates on the ruined island.

It feels like they are just like this yellow croaker. After being sold, they still count the money for others. Moreover, it feels like the big bosses all have dark hearts. Kaido is like this, Hakuryu is also... ahem.

Arturia threw the yellow croaker into the bucket beside her, then put the hook without bait into the sea, saying:

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Everyone is the protagonist in their own lives, so many people subconsciously think that they can also become the protagonist in society, on the stage, and even in society.

The protagonist on the battlefield, the trend setter.

Little did they know, they might just be yellow croakers."

Hina: "..."

(￣△￣;), stop talking about fish, she might not be able to bear to eat it at noon.

When the empress comes to compete with Kaido Imperial City, the two sides fight to the death, and blood flows into rivers. Many pirates who want to gain wealth and wealth at risk will probably regret it in their intestines.

There may be a few lucky ones who stand out, but you'd better pray that you're among them...

Hina put down the telescope, changed the subject, and asked:

"Why did the headquarters suddenly transfer us here? Don't we need to monitor the Lionheart Pirates and Red Hair Pirates?"

A few days ago, when her superiors suddenly transferred her here, she was completely confused.

"The red hair doesn't need to be monitored at all. As for Ren... maybe someone from the government talked to him in private." Artoria said casually.

A few days ago, Garp went to the waters of all nations, and she was sent to Wano to monitor.

The order this time was very decisive. It was obvious that the top government officials had tried to find a way to deal with Ren and Hongfa, at least they felt that they would not take the opportunity to cause trouble.

Hina frowned: "The five elders...people from the government are actually related to pirates?"

"Is this weird? Politics is full of compromises. Yesterday's enemies may not be today's allies." Arturia said calmly.

"this……"

Rina looked uncomfortable and stopped talking.

With a strong sense of justice, this female marine could not accept that the Five Old Stars were secretly connected with big pirates like Red Hair and Ren, or maintained some kind of tacit understanding.

Especially Ren, who attacked Admiral Kizaru, invaded Impel Down, and destroyed Marinevando... the hatred value is very high.

Artoria shook her head and didn't explain anything.

As far as she knew, shortly after the war ended, the red-haired man secretly made a trip to the Holy Land of Mariejoia.

Did Wu Laoxing yell at the red-haired man to kill him?

Called the admiral and CP0 to kill him?

not at all.

They served tea, treated the red-haired man as a distinguished guest, and chatted about the direction of history, the future maritime situation and other topics.

The situation is similar in Rennes.

At this time, Wu Laoxing lowered his profile, took the initiative to contact him on the phone, and invited him to attend the world conference. First, he could test his ambition and acting style, and second, he could temporarily ease the conflict with the Lion Group, killing two birds with one stone.

By appeasing Mr. Lei, the navy won't have to waste its troops on guarding the Lionheart Pirates, and can calmly deal with this world-famous battle between the two emperors?

And Mr. Lei was also insidious. He walked down the steps. His purpose was to avoid interference from the outside world as much as possible during the PK with Hawkeye.

After the two sides eased their relations, they had to deal with the struggle between the two emperors. Naturally, the navy and CP agencies would not keep staring at a private contest between swordsmen.

In this way, Ren's breakthrough will be smoother and worry-free.

And once he completes his promotion, haha...

Everyone gets what they need, it's just a routine.
To be continued...
