Ghost Shark, but in the world of One Piece

Page 9

Laurentina's lips curled slightly as she put away the saw and turned to practice her physical skills.

Elite naval personnel learn the Six Powers very quickly, and each person has different strengths depending on their talent.

Alice learns paper drawing the fastest, and her bad luck can even combine with it to develop a mutated form of paper drawing. If she specializes in it, perhaps ordinary Observation Haki will be useless against her.

After all, ordinary Observation Haki is unpredictable; it can be an attack that is unexpectedly maxed out, even by oneself.

As for Ain, she has already mastered the basics of Shave and Moonwalk, and combined with her impressive swordsmanship, she has great potential for future development.

She hasn't eaten the Devil Fruit yet, which makes sense. If she had, Whitebeard Jr. would never have cut off Zephyr's arm.

As for Laurentina, she has mastered all six styles to a basic level. She is skilled in finger pistol, storm kick, and... iron block.

By congealing blood onto the fingers, one can be enchanted with the power to shatter steel. Combining this with the principles of finger guns, the fingers can strike at ultra-high speeds, with power comparable to a steel drill, capable of piercing through mountains.

This is just a clever use of one's special blood and finger gun, and the flying finger gun itself is also showing promise, but it still needs some effort to transform from the [Blood Gun] into the [Flying Finger Gun].

Meanwhile, news-carrying seagulls loaded freshly printed news items onto the seas and the Grand Line, delivering the messages to all corners of the world.

A monastery near the naval branch base in Loguetown.

“Father, this is a message from the newsbird.”

"Well, thank you."

The chapel, painted in red and white, features white stone pillars supporting an arched ceiling covered with murals. Ample light streams in through the stained-glass windows, illuminating Andorn's face.

"I see. Laurentina has found her own path."

Andorn wore a gentle smile, his body shrouded in a pure black Roman-style holy robe. He held BIBLE in one arm and smoothed out the newspaper with the other.

But where does my path lead?

Some island in the New World.

"Lauren Tina? The world's most beautiful woman? Oh, it's that young nun!" Shanks slammed his fist into his palm, suddenly realizing.

"No regrets?" Beckman glanced at the heavy snow outside the cave, a toothpick dangling from his mouth. "Give her to the Navy."

Shanks nonchalantly downed a large bowl of hot wine, smacked his lips, and laughed heartily, "Nothing can stop a person from having a heart set on justice."

"The only thing I'm worried about is whether Luffy will be able to get past her in the future, hahaha."

Beckman chuckled and took a sip of his drink, thinking to himself that his captain was truly heartless.

The New World, Dressrosa, the King's Heights.

"Fufufufu, the world's number one beauty? A new naval recruit?"

Doflamingo suddenly stood up from the lounge chair by the pool, his pink feather coat billowing in the wind behind him.

He kicked away Baby-5's gun attack, spread his arms, and revealed a villainous smile: "It's about to begin. The Navy versus the Pirates, a battle of the new generation. Helpless weaklings, run away! A new era for heroes is about to begin!"

The Calm Belt, Amazon Lily.

"Damn Morgans, the price of newspapers in the Calm Belt has gone up again."

The former emperor of Amazon Lily, Granny Nuo – Gloriosa – received the latest newspaper, the front page of which featured the recently concluded coup in the Kingdom of Dressrosa.

"What an ugly thing to do! The World Government's appointed Shichibukai can steal the throne of a member state without being held accountable."

Grandma New shook her head and turned to the next page.

"Grandma New, what's the news lately?"

Opposite Granny New was Margaret, who had a yellow bob haircut and wore a single piece of zebra-colored stockings. She had just finished hunting and was looking forward to joining the Kuja Pirates in the future.

"Well, it's nothing serious. Let me read it to you." Granny New looked at the young warrior and smiled. "Tom, the maker of the Pirate King's flagship, has been sentenced to death by the Enies Lobby Court..."

The world's most beautiful woman, in order to join the Navy, kills the supernova monster fish...

Hmm? Grandma New frowned.

Hancock killed the "monster fish" Quintessence? When? Navy

Is he getting this humorous now?

Although that guy was sleazy, the kind of guy who would die at Hancock's hands.

Intrigued, Grandma New couldn't help but carefully flip through the pages until she finally saw the small photo of white hair and red eyes.

Laurentina?

Hmm, she really is beautiful. Her looks are comparable to Hancock's, making her undoubtedly the most beautiful woman in the world.

The navy has also produced some capable newcomers.

Grandma Niu sighed, and when she looked up, she realized something was wrong.

Wait, where's Margaret?

She hurriedly ran from a corner of the village into the street, only to be astonished to find that the entire Nine-Shell Island was in turmoil...

Chapter Fourteen: The Naval Empress? (New book, please support and add to your favorites)

(Please refresh the page; the author is uploading images, they will be at the end.)

Why is it so noisy downstairs?

The Tenshukaku (castle tower) of Kuja Castle is a palace suspended on a cliff.

The palace mistress seemed to sense something and walked towards the pavilion. Her makeup was light and elegant. She wore a white cheongsam with a red sun printed on it, and her neatly styled Hime hairstyle outlined the most gorgeous yet not gaudy beauty in the world.

The taut cheongsam accentuated her tall and perfect curves. Boa Hancock swayed with every step, her slender figure like a ripe fruit bending the branches.

The ancient tung-colored gate slowly opened, revealing a corridor with red lacquered wooden pillars supporting the palace roof. Hancock stepped onto the platform, walking on a dark red carpet embroidered with gold patterns.

"What are you arguing about?"

The noise from the platform immediately attracted the attention of the residents of Nine Serpents City. Lan, the guardian warrior, suppressed the urge to burst into hearts and steel himself, saying:

"Lady Boa Hancock, are we to surrender to the Navy?"

Huh? What was that guy saying?

As Hancock collapsed, her pet snake Salome quickly coiled into a throne, sat on it, and scrutinized the loyal guardian warrior while biting her thumb.

Are you trying to fool me?

Da da da da da!

Granny New came running up, panting, leaning on her snake staff. "I'm sorry, Hancock, it was my oversight."

As he spoke, he handed over the latest newspaper.

Hancock frowned and kicked Granny New away. "Read it to me!"

Grandma New wasn't annoyed. She dusted herself off, picked up the newspaper, and read aloud in a volume loud enough for everyone to hear:

"Naval recruit Laurentina, possessing a beauty comparable to the Pirate Empress, has killed..."

A beauty that rivals that of Lady Snake?

Where did this arrogant fellow come from?

Realizing they had made a blunder, the crowd was immediately drawn to another matter, though they all reacted with amusement.

Listening to Granny New read the newspaper, Hancock curiously snatched the newspaper, kicked Granny New away, and her gaze lingered on the white-haired, red-eyed figure.

Very beautiful.

It can threaten one's own beauty.

Hancock remained silent. She had never seen the legendary mermaid princess Shirahoshi, but this naval girl was indeed exceptionally beautiful.

If it were a country that favors white-haired people, I might lose completely.

but!

But she doesn't have a figure as good as mine!

"My people," Hancock said, one hand on her hip and the other pointing forward, leaning back in an exaggerated pose, haughtily looking down at everyone with her ample bosom, "tell me, who is more beautiful, me or Laurentina?"

It's here! That pose that utterly despises all living beings!

The three sisters' two younger sisters sighed.

"Of course it's Lady Snake!!!" ×N, the people of Kuja Castle were all excited with hearts in their eyes, and even Granny New, who had risen again, was not spared.

"Yes, no matter what bad things I do, whether it's kicking a kitten... tearing off your ears... or even murder and robbery... the whole world will still forgive me! The reason is..."

Yes!

Because I am...too beautiful!

Hancock cupped her face in her hands, exuding a shy charm that aroused the man below, making him as excited as a mother gorilla.

However, this Laurentina...

Hancock bit her finger, turned around and her expression became calm as she slowly walked back to her chambers.

Besides Amazon Lily, the news of the addition of a stunningly beautiful woman to the Navy has gradually spread throughout the seas. Lauren Tina has even been dubbed the "Naval Empress," and the debate over her beauty with Hancock has become a long-standing topic.

The absurd idea that Crane initially had has slowly become a reality.

Half a year later.

Naval Headquarters, Marinevando.

After half a year of study, Laurentina has fully mastered the Six Styles. Although her speed is only slightly faster than that of the deserter king Koby, her quality is far superior.

Koby is a real bug; he went from a complete nobody to a sergeant mastering the Six Powers in just one year...

"Where's Ain?" Laurentina looked at the imposing aura that barely covered her two wrists and felt a little disappointed.

Compared to his powerful physique, his domineering aura progressed slowly, which was consistent with his progress in achieving unity of mind and body.

Of course, this speed still far surpasses that of the elite navies of the same period.

Just like Alice, who was practicing swinging her sword on the side, her eyes were filled with envy. Laurentina, the class monitor of the elite class, not only mastered the domineering aura at an amazing speed, but she also looked so beautiful now.

While Armament Haki hardening on others exudes a powerful, steely aura, Laurentina uses it to subtly cover her wrists and calves, adjusting it to a pure black spiderweb lace pattern...

Elegant, so elegant.

Alice stared intently, almost unable to look away, but still answered instinctively:

"Sister Ain went to Sabaody Archipelago with Teacher Zephyr. It seems they were going to capture pirates and also find..."

Book."

Looking for a book?

Laurentina nodded. Ain had a good talent for science and was taking science courses while training new recruits, trying to create some powerful and advanced weapons.

Having learned of Ain's talent, Zephyr recommended her to Kizaru, hoping to bring Ain some of Vegapunk's research materials.

After all, Vegapunk has plenty of abandoned research labs, and he's on good terms with the Science Corps. It's better to benefit one's own people than others. Ain isn't that bad either.

"By the way, what book is it this time?"

"Hmm... what a hard-to-remember title. It seems to be something like 'A Study on the Inhibiting Effect of Seastone on Devil Fruit Users—An Analysis of Changes in Bloodline Factors from a Microscopic Perspective'."

"Ah, so...so profound."

Laurentina tossed her hair aside and continued swinging the circular saw.

It is now spring of 1513. There are still four years before Ace sets sail and seven years before Luffy sets sail. Before that, I must improve my strength.

It was already past the officers' off-duty time, and their daily training sessions had long since ended. However, Laurentina and Alice, after dinner, came to do extra training. Sakazuki and Zephyr, who were heading home nearby, nodded in approval.

Both men were diligent and hardworking, a trait even evident in the classes led by several admirals. Sakazuki's naval unit was the most diligent and trained the hardest, often winning in several elite class competitions.

Borsalino's class has a slight edge over Kuzan's, but this is without considering Laurentina.

"Recruit Laurentina!" came a call from afar.

"Hi?" Laurentina, who had experienced being a warrior in two lifetimes, instinctively straightened up.

A neatly dressed female naval soldier ran over and, upon seeing this renowned newcomer, flashed a warm smile:

"Colonel Tina is about to conduct a routine patrol, and she has temporarily summoned you to Admiral Aokiji's service."

"Yes!"

Laurentina nodded, said a brief goodbye to Alice, and boarded the ship bound for the harbor.

In the warm spring of March, the light snow in Marineford stopped, the ice on Crescent Bay melted, and there were lamb footprints on the snow on both sides of the road. The iron-gray clouds broke through the gaps, and the blazing sunlight pierced the lonely and desolate sea.
