"Since that's the case, you don't need to bring it up at the World Conference."
"At the World Conference, other Allied Nations will bring it up. You just need to agree to the proposal with some countries friendly to Heptarchy."
Nox said after thinking for a moment.
In the East Blue, Law Net secretly controls two World Government member states. Although not directly controlled, they can be indirectly controlled.
Even the two kingdoms that can attend the World Conference are completely obedient to Law Net, essentially acting as puppet kings.
"I understand!"
Queen Eleanor said. She hadn't expected that besides the Heptarchy, Nox also secretly controlled other Allied Nations. Such methods were nothing like what a Pirate should possess.
In her impression, Pirates were all brutal and brainless, fond of plunder and slaughter, just like those Great Pirates like John who came from the Calm Belt to plunder the Four Seas.
But the feeling Nox gave her was not like a Pirate at all, but rather a powerful King with ambition and strategy, wearing a Pirate's coat.
After spending most of the day touring the Heptarchy, contacting Law Net to clear up some hidden troubles, and then having Law Net set up a hidden branch in the Heptarchy, Nox returned to the royal palace with Queen Eleanor.
As soon as they returned to the royal palace, they saw Ashura Doji and Roosevelt, both covered in injuries.
"Lord Nox, I lost. The realm of sword road is not entirely equal to individual combat power."
Roosevelt stepped forward and said.
His physique was far inferior to Ashura Doji's. Even if his sword road realm was stronger than Ashura Doji's, it couldn't make up for this gap.
"Captain, how long are we staying here?"
Ashura Doji asked excitedly.
This is a powerful sword road country in the West Blue, somewhat similar to the former Wano Country. He really wanted to stay here for a few more days to see the Swordsmen here.
"We will stay here for seven days. You guys should have a good look around the Heptarchy."
Nox naturally knew Ashura Doji's thoughts. He brought Ashura Doji and the others here specifically for them to study.
Ashura Doji has been stuck at the threshold of Grand Swordmaster for two years. If he can advance to the Grand Swordmaster realm, he will be qualified to become a core Executive Officer of the Limitless Pirates.
During these seven days in the Heptarchy, it wasn't just Ashura Doji and the others taking action. Nox was also absorbing the sword road knowledge of this powerful sword road country, the Heptarchy, to broaden his horizons.
Last time, he came too hastily and had no time to see the various sword roads of Heptarchy. This time, he just happened to have the time to absorb all this sword road knowledge.
Seven days later, Nox left the Heptarchy and headed to another powerful country in the West Blue, the Flower Country!
Marine Headquarters Marineford:
After several months of searching, Zephyr finally found the group of Pirates who killed his wife and child, and personally beat them to death one by one!
But his wife and child could never return!
After returning to Marineford a month later, disheartened, Zephyr finally came to Fleet Admiral Kong's office again.
"Fleet Admiral, I voluntarily resign from the position of Admiral!"
At this moment, Zephyr had completely lost the spirit he had as an Admiral before. At forty-two, Zephyr, who should have been in the prime of his life, looked like an old man over sixty, with no light left in his eyes.
"Zephyr, we understand your situation well. You are a Marine, and an Admiral. You know the current situation of the Marine better than anyone. I will not allow you to resign, nor will the entire Marine agree to your resignation!"
Kong directly tore up the resignation letter Zephyr submitted. The current situation of the Marine is too difficult. If Zephyr resigns, it will undoubtedly make things worse!
"Fleet Admiral, my mind is made up. I no longer want to continue hunting Pirates. I'm tired!"
Zephyr shook his head and said. He was truly tired and powerless. He couldn't even protect his own wife and child, so what ability did he have to protect others?
"You..."
Kong, feeling frustrated, raised his hand, wanting to punch the disappointing Zephyr out.
If the person in front of him was Garp, he would have definitely punched him awake, but this person was Zephyr, and he couldn't bring himself to do it!
"Zephyr, how about this? You temporarily suspend your position as Admiral and go to logistics to train new recruits."
"Currently, our Marine has suffered heavy losses. We need to re-train a batch of Marines, specifically cultivating elites among them who have the potential to become General-level Marines."
"This is a new department I've established, called the Marine Training Camp, also known as the Elite Training Camp. This department will be under your charge from now on."
Kong sighed after lowering his hand.
It was impossible for him to let Zephyr go, but since Zephyr didn't want to be an Admiral anymore, he could go to logistics to train new recruits. When he figured things out, he could return to his original post.
"Alright, I will take up the position at the Elite Training Camp in five days."
Zephyr sighed and walked out of the Fleet Admiral's office.
"I hope we can Training a few leading figures for the new generation of the Marine, otherwise our Marine will face a talent gap."
Kong sighed.
However, what he didn't know was that Zephyr's latest Elite Training Camp truly cultivated two monster Marines, who were later Akainu Sakazuki and Kizaru Borsalino.
West Blue Flower Country:
Upon the royal throne, King Gypsiler Baldes in the royal palace looked worriedly at the invitation in his hand, from the Limitless Pirates.
"Great General, what do you think we should do? Should we notify the Marine and the World Government?"
King Baldes looked at the Great General Rolf Barati beside him and inquired.
"Since the other party sent an invitation, it means they are not here to plunder. As long as they are not here to plunder, everything else is easy to talk about."
"It's too late to notify the Marine and the World Government now. Moreover, the Marine and the World Government were utterly defeated last time and have no spare strength to deal with the Limitless Pirates."
"The Limitless Pirates possess ships that can freely navigate the Calm Belt and can arrive in the West Blue from the New World at any time. The Marine and the World Government cannot stay in the Flower Country to help us indefinitely."
Great General Barati shook his head and said.
"We cannot rely on the Marine and the World Government, we can only rely on ourselves. Tomorrow, you, me, and Chinjao, along with trustworthy people, will go together to see what the Limitless Pirates want to do in our Flower Country."
King Baldes said.
Early the next morning, on a secluded coast of the Flower Country, several large ships of the Limitless Pirates arrived at the coastal edge of the Flower Country.
"World's Greatest Swordsman Nox, how could it be him!"
King Baldes, Great General Barati, and other Flower Country experts like Chinjao were waiting for the arrival of the ships. However, they had originally thought it would be one of the Limitless Pirates' Executive Officers coming to the Flower Country, but they never expected it would be Nox himself who came here.
The name Nox is now known to almost everyone in the entire World. In the previous battle, he killed two Army Generals and a top combatant of the World Government.
He caused the World Government to collapse directly. That battle can be completely said to be Nox alone fighting to the point where everyone in the World Government had no choice but to admit defeat and flee!
That was his battle of apotheosis!
"Your Majesty the King, let me go and test if his strength is as strong as the legends say!"
Compared to King Baldes's shock, Chinjao was extremely excited. That was the World's top combat power; he had wanted to fight someone like that for a long time.
During the previous great battle between the Pirates and the World Government, if the King hadn't stopped him, he would have wanted to participate in the slaughter.
"Wait, Chinjao!"
King Baldes just wanted to stop Chinjao's reckless behavior, but it was already too late. The moment Chinjao saw Nox, he charged out like a mad bull.
"Hahaha, World's Greatest Swordsman Nox? Take a move from me, Chinjao!"
As Chinjao charged wildly, his Haoshoku Haki fully bloomed, and a massive pressure enveloped an area of several thousand meters.
"Captain, let me!"
After seeing Chinjao charge over, Bullet immediately became eager to try.
"Oh? Chinjao? Interesting. Then let me try your Cone Head and see if my fist is hard enough!"
Nox stopped Bullet's action. This time, he wanted to do it himself and see how powerful his fist was.
"Eight Impact Fist Secret Technique: Cone Dragon Cone Nail!!"
Chinjao's Cone Head, covered in Busoshoku Haki, turned completely black, and then his body suddenly leaped up, spinning rapidly like a Poison Dragon drill as he charged.
"Hahaha, well come, take a punch from me!"
Nox leaped directly from the ship, using Moonwalk to rush towards Chinjao through the air. He didn't use his sword, but instead attached Busoshoku Haki and Haoshoku Haki to his right fist.
"Serious Punch!"
All his strength gathered on his right fist, without any techniques, it was a full-power punch combining his own strength with the two colors of Haki!
"Boom!!"
The moment the Cone Head collided with the fist, Chinjao instantly felt as if he had crashed into an incredibly hard diamond. His originally indestructible Cone Head couldn't even break through the defense.
His head even felt as if it had been struck hard by a powerful sledgehammer, causing him instant splitting pain.
"Hahaha, your Cone Head isn't hard enough!"
Nox burst into laughter, and the Haki all over his body surged again. With a bang, his punch flattened Chinjao's Cone Head; the original Cone Head became flat!
"Ugh!!!"
Suddenly, Chinjao's entire head was struck hard, and he completely fainted. His body fell to the ground like a meteor, creating large dents.
"How is that possible? Chinjao was actually defeated by the opponent with a single punch, without even using a sword!"
King Baldes watched the scene before him in horror. Chinjao was one of the strongest people in their Flower Country, yet he was defeated so easily.
What was most unacceptable was that Nox, as the World's Greatest Swordsman, didn't even use his sword, but defeated Chinjao with his fist.
