Ghost Shark, but in the world of One Piece

Page 4

With a thud, Smoker flew straight into the dining table, experiencing the embarrassment of being knocked into a hole in the wall while eating eight years ahead of schedule.

"Ouch, that really hurts, you bastard!" Smoker instantly flew into a rage, transforming into an elemental form and his wrist turning into smoke: "White Fist!"

...

After a satisfying meal, Aokiji picked up his wallet to pay the bill. Since little Laurentina showed no awareness of the importance of eating like a strong person, and the other two people didn't eat much either, the meal was surprisingly cheap.

If Garp were here, the food we added along the way would have piled up into a small mountain.

Aokiji stood up, flicked his cloak, and draped it over his shoulders again. Smoker and Tina lit cigarettes at the same time and swaggered out of the barbecue restaurant.

Upon seeing this, Lauren Tina seemed thoughtful. She hurriedly ran to the convenience store next door, bought a box of Pocky, and started eating it too.

Suddenly, I felt an arrogance emanating from my entire body, like that of a big shot.

"Oh my gosh~ Little Laurentina, it's getting dark soon, have you thought about where to stay?"

Outside the barbecue restaurant, the afterglow of the setting sun bathed Justice Avenue in a golden hue, and some backlit buildings lit up with their lights. Lauren Tina stood under the rustic wooden billboard, the evening breeze making her long hair and pure black nun's habit dance gracefully.

Even the aloof and mature Tina's heart skipped a beat. She really wanted to pat her little head and... take her home and raise her as her daughter!

"Stay in a hotel? The accommodations in Marineford are pretty good," Smoker said calmly, exhaling a puff of smoke.

“You can also live with Tina.” Tina couldn’t help but touch her long hair, which was as soft as the clouds on the sky island and felt wonderful to the touch under her red leather gloves.

Lauren Tina didn't mind. After a moment's thought, she accepted Tina's suggestion. After all, Tina was the successor of the naval strategist faction, and being close to her would be extremely beneficial for the future.

“Okay, Tina.” The girl nodded obediently.

"Tina is very happy. My bed is quite big. You're welcome to come and stay. You can rest after training, no problem." Tina's expression was cheerful, but her hand kept rubbing her head.

After resolving the girl's temporary accommodation issue, the group parted ways on the street. Perhaps because there were only two women, Tina dropped her aloof mask and became noticeably more enthusiastic, pulling the girl along to go shopping for clothes at the night market.

Although the girl had spare clothes, they were all nun's clothes. Tina felt it was a pity that such a beautiful girl had to live such a hard life.

So she simply dragged Laurentina on a shopping spree. She had more than enough salary to spend, not even counting the bounty for capturing pirates. What's wrong with playing dress-up games?

Wide-brimmed hat, jacket, baseball jacket, jeans, footed socks, long gloves, high-waisted shorts, lace choker, ribbon bow, snow-white chiffon skirt...

Tina's passion for nurturing is burning brightly!

She only nodded in satisfaction when she finally saw Laurentina dressed up like a princess from a fairy tale.

The next morning, Laurentina woke up slowly in her soft bed. There was a clattering sound coming from the kitchen. The girl rubbed her sleepy eyes, pulled back the fragrant velvet blanket, put on her fluffy panda slippers, and walked into the kitchen in a daze.

The kitchen was a disaster zone at this point, with egg mixture spilling everywhere from the frying pan.

The fried egg was like a bomb, covered in grease, and the bread was baked into a unique shape, emitting plumes of black smoke...

I thought some starving thief had raided the kitchen.

Seeing Lauren Tina wake up, Tina's face flushed slightly, then she calmly put on her sunglasses and took the girl out for breakfast.

As for my own cooking skills... let's not even talk about them.

After breakfast, Laurentina was taken to the recruit registration office, where the line was unusually long due to the recruitment season.

The registration lines were divided into two: the right side was for elites from various naval branches, who were taking the advanced training route; the left side was for new recruits, where the strongest from all over the world gathered.

The appearance of the colonel, especially the stunning beauty Tina, who is a face of the navy and a charmer, instantly caused quite a stir.

When they caught a glimpse of an even more surprised Laurentina, their hearts pounded and their eyes sparkled with hearts!

"Elegant, so incredibly elegant! Is that the Pirate Empress—Boa Hancock?"

"Idiot, this is the new recruit registration area, and the Empress doesn't have white hair!"

"Oh no, I'm so sorry, Hancock! I'm going to be a traitor!"

A small group of people at the back were chattering amongst themselves, and the sudden noise drew even more attention, unsurprisingly gaining them a large number of likes...

"Tina is very happy." The young naval captain said proudly. As long as Lauren Tina was praised, everyone would be a friendly, harmonious, and supportive colleague.

After the gasps of amazement, the crowd in front enthusiastically requested to switch places with Laurentina. The navy maintaining order couldn't stop them, since it was a voluntary act, and besides, the child was so beautiful, right?

And just like that, Laurentina was instantly moved to the front of the line.

Chapter Six: Reaching Out Means Silence (New Book, Please Support and Add to Favorites)

As the absolute ruler of the sea, the Navy Headquarters has a standardized recruitment process, unlike the Four Seas Branch which accepts anyone.

According to the instructions, Laurentina first needs to register her information, and after the review is approved, she will be tested on her Dao power.

This is the key to screening new recruits' physical fitness. Only after these are completed can we proceed with some projects to assess their individual development direction.

The average naval strength is about 10, but the headquarters is stricter. A strength of 15 is the minimum required to recruit new soldiers, as only those with this strength can withstand the new soldier training at headquarters.

At the new recruit registration office, the receptionist gave Laurentina a registration form, which was filled with densely packed forms, such as place of origin, special skills, life experience, and family background.

The registration process is too complicated, the girl frowned. Rhodes Island is much more generous in comparison.

With patience, Laurentina brushed her long hair aside, picked up her pen, and slowly filled in the paper. She wrote very slowly, and time seemed to stand still.

Hmm? Special skill?

Laurentina tilted her head. Her weapon was a long-handled circular saw, suitable for defeating enemies. Her physique possessed two innate talents: increased stamina and deep-sea regeneration. In this world's understanding, these were life force and physical recovery ability.

In addition, there's the Vampire Fruit, which amplifies both life force and attack power.

One-shot flow?

"That's strange," Laurentina shook her head and wrote down: "A powerful attacker, skilled in area-of-effect attacks and survival."

As for place of origin and family background, just write the truth. What really made the girl think were the last two lines, which took up much more space than the other entries, clearly showing that the Navy attached great importance to them.

These are a motto for life and an explanation of justice.

The importance of life mottos in the world of One Piece is self-evident. They are closely linked to one's ideals and, to some extent, are also related to the activation of Conqueror's Haki.

Laurentina paused for a moment, her thoughts drifting uncontrollably, before carefully writing: "Pray for the deceased, fight for the living, and guide lost souls to their resting place."

As for justice? What a luxurious yet cheap word.

The girl smiled, the golden pendant gleaming on her swan-like neck, and finally finished writing:

"Justice as one pleases."

At the same time, the enthusiastic female soldier finally shifted her gaze from the white hair and red eyes to the form, her eyes widening instantly as she was captivated by the elegant and beautiful handwriting.

"Such beautiful characters, like works of art in a calligraphy exhibition hall."

"Thank you, that's the highest compliment I can receive."

Laurentina showed a satisfied expression for the first time. Her favorite thing was still the arts, including dance, opera, and sculpture, as well as calligraphy.

After filling out the form, the receptionist led her to the headquarters' training ground, where an area was marked out for testing new recruits.

The testing area's high platform was filled with sophisticated machines shaped like stone tablets. In the center of each machine was a blue halo, about the size of a basketball. The guide explained that by pressing your hand on it, you could obtain Dao power.

Laurentina quietly stood in line at the back. This time, it was not an easy time to cut in line, since the headquarters attic behind her was full of elites from the Navy Headquarters.

The annual recruitment season is always of utmost importance to the Navy.

Standing in the middle is the Warring States Marshal; Garp is eating senbei and laughing heartily; Tsuru is crossing his arms and behaving elegantly; and Zephyr is wearing sunglasses.

As for the three admirals, only Kuzan remained at headquarters; the other two were on missions. Gion, Kakei, Smoker, and Tina were also observing.

This lineup made all the newcomers nervous.

"Let's see how the seedlings are doing this year."

战国双手插兜，圆框眼镜下的表情庄严肃穆，白色军帽上还立着一只;每'.日."更;新.新:一!小'说?裙!.5;4":3;6':;5,9,",3,8?

:.9?; Seagull.

"At least Laurentina doesn't need to worry."

Tina wore a white cape over a dark red suit, a thin cigarette between her fingers, and her lips unconsciously curled up slightly.

"Hahaha, I'll test her skills in a bit." Garp laughed heartily, his beard covered in cookie crumbs.

"Garp, shut up!" Tsuru said, frowning.

At the testing site, only a few figures remained in front of Laurentina.

"Next, Ni Yan."

As the recorder on the platform shouted, a man dressed in black carrying a heavy ruler stepped forward and placed his hand inside the blue circle of light.

Less than ten seconds later, a cold voice came from the machine on the stone tablet:

"Taoist Power Value - 13! Test result failed!"

Staring at the bright, almost blinding red X on the stone tablet, the boy walked off the stage expressionlessly, a self-deprecating smile on his lips.

Even if they failed, no one in the audience mocked them, since this one criterion alone eliminated many people.

"Next, Ain."

Upon hearing the call, a beautiful woman with long, wavy, sea-blue hair, wearing a purple vest and high-waisted shorts, walked gracefully to the front of the stage in front of Laurentina.

"Wow, it's so beautiful."

"Her looks are comparable to Colonel Tina and Major General Gion."

A murmur arose from the crowd below. Laurentina looked up and saw that the girl named [Ain] was indeed quite pretty.

She is arguably the most beautiful among her peers since her rebirth, aside from herself.

The blue-haired girl on the stage, hearing the commotion below, did not change her expression at all. She raised her slender wrist and gently pressed down.

hum!

The test stone tablet burst into a bright blue light! The girl's body was instantly engulfed by the intense light.

"Dao Power Value: 860! Test result passed!" The mechanical voice on the stone tablet even carried a hint of joy.

860!

Even with the marshals and generals present, the people in line couldn't help but shout out.

Before her, only a man named Binz had a power level exceeding 500.

"Xiao Zefa, it seems like you have another good student this year," the woman in the peach-colored deep-V short-sleeved shirt said with a smile.

"I'll train them properly." Zephyr, now with both arms intact, grinned like a scoundrel, revealing a row of gleaming silver teeth.

After losing his family, Zephyr retained his rank of general and became an instructor. Over the past two decades, many of his students have become generals.

"Don't talk, it'll be Tina's turn soon." Big Tina, wearing sunglasses and smoking a cigarette, looked aloof and cool.

"You really think highly of her, huh?" Jia Ji chuckled, his back hunched, like an old scoundrel.

The generals on the platform fell silent, their gazes fixed on the girl with the saw. Just how good was this girl who was said to be able to take down a supernova?

"Next up, Laurentina."

At the clerk's call, Laurentina tossed her long hair and walked onto the stage.

Thanks to Colonel Tina's generosity, she was not wearing a nun's habit, but a crisp black turtleneck vest paired with pure black high-waisted hot pants. Her beautiful long hair was tied up with a ribbon, and she exuded a profound and noble aura from the inside out.

The inspiration for her outfit came from that girl named 'quill pen'.

Wow, this girl...is so beautiful!

Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, Laurentina stepped forward.

Up in the attic, even the crane was amazed by Laurentina's beauty.

The gleaming platform became the backdrop for the child, the chaotic crowd seemed to be blurred away, leaving her alone in the vast, quiet world, quietly climbing the steps, her quiet golden pendant swaying precariously in the sea breeze.

Naval Empress?

An absurd idea flashed through He's mind.

Under the spotlight, Laurentina ascended the platform, looking as noble as a queen ascending the throne, and then extended her soft, boneless hand.

.......

No response at all?!

Everyone looked puzzled.

Then a sea breeze blew in, and a hissing sound came from the machine, followed by a thick wisp of black smoke...

boom! ! !

A sudden, unexpected sound erupted, and the seemingly indestructible stone tablet on the high platform shattered...
