Naruto's Journey to Training

Chapter 271 The World Situation Has Changed

This scene was constantly played out on several battleships of the Imperial Navy.

The Imperial Navy was destroying the pirates around them at an unprecedentedly efficient speed.

Many pirates were still celebrating the defeat of the navy, clamoring to go back and plunder treasures. Although they were also shocked that the navy was defeated so quickly, this did not prevent them from doing whatever they wanted after losing their old rival, the navy.

But no one expected the Imperial Navy's attack to come so quickly.

Many pirates were still talking to each other about the future days of freedom, and then the pirate ship next to them exploded violently.

This scene made many pirates unable to recover from the shock, and then they suffered the same blow. At the last moment, they didn't understand why they were hit by a devastating blow when they had clearly been far away from the mysterious force.

Shouldn't they be on the same side? Yes! In the minds of these pirates, the Empire is on the same side as them, and they are all against the existence of the World Government.

Maybe they will become enemies for the sake of interests in the future, but at least at this moment they are not yet to the point of being hostile to each other.

The naval officers watched the red dots disappear one after another on the radar screen and were unable to come back to their senses for a long time.

Suddenly, a rear admiral became excited, "This...this...will we also use this kind of ship to catch pirates in the future!"

"This is incredible! If we had this kind of warship earlier, we would have no worries about wiping out all the pirates on the sea!"

As he spoke, the rear admiral could not help crying, as he thought about how many of his fellow naval comrades had sacrificed their lives on the road to justice.

It is undeniable that there are bad elements in the navy, but most people come here for the idea of ​​justice in the first place!

It seems that he has now climbed to the position of major general, but who knows how many of his fellow pirates who are full of hatred have died unwillingly in boarding battles again and again along the way.

The Imperial Navy Rear Admiral stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder.

"Although I don't quite understand your feelings now, the Empire is a country that values ​​order."

"Perhaps the Empire is not so just, but the Empire will never allow any destabilizing factors to appear within its borders."

"So your enemies in the future will still be pirates. Any ship flying the pirate flag will not be allowed to appear in any waters of the empire!"

The rear admiral wiped the tears from his cheeks and suddenly smiled.

"I don't really understand the empire you mentioned, but if it can really make the pirates disappear from this sea, I'm willing to risk my life!"

The two men's eyes met, and at this moment the generals of the Navy Headquarters on the ship were no longer so averse to surrendering to the Empire. After all, the Empire showed them the confidence to uphold justice.

"The range of the cannon is the truth!"

.......

The beginning of the sixth year of the Great Pirates.

The navy collectively expressed its submission to the empire, and from then on all the navy was incorporated into the empire, and the empire also announced a pirate ban to the entire world through the World News Agency.

Moreover, the empire annexed all the surrounding islands and countries at an extremely fast speed. Everyone in the entire ocean was shocked, and at the same time they also understood what an empire was.

The Empire is a dictatorship with centralized power, so wherever they go, whether it is an autonomous island or a unified country, it must be incorporated into the Empire. The Empire does not allow the existence of a federal system.

Faced with such hegemony, the whole world was in turmoil, and many countries stood up to accuse the empire of its atrocities and wanted to unite to resist the dictatorial behavior of the empire.

The Empire ignored this and continued to steadily expand its sphere of influence, and completely cut off the routes leading to the New World from the four major seas from the Grand Route.

From then on, pirates from all over the world who wanted to enter the New World through the Grand Line would have to face the behemoth that is the Empire.

The Empire single-handedly divided the two worlds.

There are almost no pirates to be seen in the empire nowadays, and the pirates have fully witnessed the horror of their new opponents.

The pirates who managed to escape from the Imperial Navy fleet almost shuddered when they talked about the Imperial Navy.

Because you have no idea from how far away the Imperial Navy discovered you.

That kind of attack beyond visual range made the pirates who faced the Imperial Navy miserable and terrified.

Almost all the waters occupied by the Empire have become an absolute forbidden zone for pirates.

Zhan Guo, who was released again, looked at the information in his hand and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

When he learned that the navy had surrendered to the empire en masse, he was in despair, believing that the future of the navy would be hopeless. He even criticized Sora harshly in front of him.

If Garp hadn't tried his best to stop them, the two would have almost come to blows.

However, he was powerless in the face of the power of the empire and could only reluctantly join the Imperial Navy.

After all, what can he do? Now the entire Navy Headquarters has been incorporated into the Empire, he has nowhere to go, and the World Government has now disappeared.

However, after working for nearly a year, his attitude began to change slowly, and he wanted to actively integrate into the empire.

Because in this year, the empire has shocked him time and time again.

It has to be admitted that the dictatorship implemented by the empire is very authoritarian, but it is definitely quite lenient, or even partial, to the civilians under its rule.

Almost every policy favors the common people, and there is no such messy aristocratic system as in the World Government.

Although the empire also has things like powerful families, they have almost no privileges. Under the laws of the empire, once your so-called powerful family violates the laws of the empire, they will also be arrested.

With its lenient and fair laws, the areas conquered by the empire always restored peace quickly and began to support the empire with an extremely fanatical attitude.

But on the other hand, those nobles who lost their interests began to strongly oppose the empire.

But under the empire's terrifying individual combat capabilities, these nobles could hardly make any waves.

What Zhan Guo sees now is an unprecedented peaceful society, which has made him go from rejection at the beginning to love it now.

Of course, what he wants now is to improve his military rank as soon as possible, because he is still only a major general in the Imperial Navy.

This made him, who was extremely power-hungry, very unwilling.

Although this rank is not low within the Imperial Navy, it is almost equivalent to the rank of vice admiral in the Navy Headquarters.

But compared to the positions above these, there are also the positions of admiral and marshal, which made him full of energy again.

There is a kind of urge to achieve great things, just like when you first join the navy.

Now he also had a general understanding of the empire's system.

The empire was built on land, so the navy was not very important to the empire.

But he totally disagreed with this. At least in this world, the navy was indispensable.

He now has an ambition, which is to develop the navy to a position equal to the four major legions.

So now he has almost become a workaholic.

Just when Zhan Guo was extremely busy, Garp walked in angrily and threw a document on Zhan Guo's desk.

Zhan Guo looked up at Garp in confusion, "What happened to you? Did you eat gunpowder?"

Garp was silent for two seconds before he spoke angrily, "Today, the Prime Minister of the Empire, Rizu, sent a severe condemnation to our navy!"

Zhan Guo's expression turned serious.

"What's the matter?"

"It's because there are scums in our navy. The Intelligence Department has recently learned some pretty bad intelligence."

"That means the navy is colluding with pirates. A slave ship was secretly sent from the empire to the Sabaody Archipelago with the help of a certain navy officer. Let our navy conduct a thorough investigation immediately. We must not tolerate such guys who wantonly trample on the laws of the empire!"

Zhan Guo's eyes suddenly became angry.

"What! Who is it!" Sengoku looked at Garp angrily.

"I don't know, but it's definitely not from the former Imperial Navy. If it hadn't been intercepted by Major General Qing who was patrolling the sea, this slave ship would have actually passed through the Empire and taken hundreds of slaves to the Sabaody Archipelago!"

"This is simply a slap in our faces. If I knew who it was, I would never let this guy go!"

Zhan Guo's face was also extremely ugly at this time. He knew how strictly the empire controlled things like human trafficking, but he didn't expect that someone would dare to commit a crime against the law!

"Huh! Do you know which pirate group it is?!"

Zhan Guo asked in a deep voice.

"The Intelligence Department is already interrogating him. I'm sure we'll know the answer soon. You know their methods!"

Hearing what Garp said, Sengoku felt relieved, but his face couldn't help but darken. After all, he was the one who unknowingly leaked the Six Styles of the Navy and the Three Colors of Haki.

That kind of bizarre illusion is simply impossible to guard against.
