One Piece: Obtaining the Black Dragon King Fruit at the Start

Chapter 188 Extremely Dissatisfied

In the conference room of the Naval Headquarters, various noises mingled together, like surging waves, assaulting everyone's eardrums one after another.

A tense and uneasy atmosphere filled the air, as if a storm was about to break.

Vice Admiral Garp slammed his hand on the table and stood up abruptly. His voice echoed like thunder in the conference room: "What on earth is that brat Minos up to? Doesn't he know that this kind of behavior will only drive those pirates even crazier?"

Garp's eyes flashed with anxiety and worry. His grandson Ace had embarked on the path of a pirate, which broke his heart.

He knew Ace's character and strength well, but facing a powerful figure like Minos, Ace was undoubtedly throwing an egg against a rock.

Garp clenched his fists tightly, feeling utterly powerless. He hated himself for not stopping Ace in time, and he hated Minos even more for being the culprit who had disturbed the peace of the sea.

Marshal Sengoku was also furious. His voice was deep and powerful, as if it contained endless anger: "Minos, that arrogant bastard, he actually wants to provoke the greatest turmoil!"

"This behavior is an unforgivable provocation against the Navy and the world!"

Sengoku's eyes revealed a strong killing intent. He knew Minos's ambition and strength, but this only strengthened his determination to eliminate this scourge.

Kizaru, on the other hand, looked solemn. He stared silently at Minos on the live broadcast screen, his usual relaxed and playful smile completely gone.

He knew that Minos's move would cause unprecedented chaos, and the navy had to be prepared to deal with it.

Kizaru's mind raced as he considered how to devise the most effective countermeasure in the shortest amount of time. (Slacking off)

Staff Officer He also showed a look of panic at this moment, which was extremely rare for someone as calm and composed as her.

She knew full well that Minos's words not only shook the foundations of the pirate crew, but also challenged the bottom line of other major powers. This blatant provocation was undoubtedly playing with fire, and once the fire spread, it would be difficult to control.

Staff Officer He frowned, pondering how to quell the impending storm.

In Wano Country of the New World, Kaido sat in a magnificent palace on Onigashima, watching Minos on the live broadcast screen with a gloomy face.

His face was filled with gloom and anger; he had never expected Minos to so arrogantly challenge the order of the entire sea.

Minos's haughty gaze and disdainful words in particular enraged Kaido.

He had once admired Minos, but now he was filled with hostility towards him.

Kaido drew his spiked club from his waist, swung it forcefully, and said in a low voice, "Minos brat, come on if you dare! I'll show you what I'm made of!"

His voice echoed through the palace, filled with murderous intent and determination.

Meanwhile, in the New World of Whole Cake Island, inside a giant castle, the old lady was also roaring in anger.

Her obese body trembled violently in the chair, as if it might burst at any moment.

"What kind of bullshit Minos is he? He actually dares to touch the foundation of my Whole Cake Island that has been built up over the years. He's really courting death!" The old woman's voice was as deafening as thunder.

She continued to roar angrily, "Even the World Government and Captain Rocks back then didn't dare to easily touch the foundation of other forces, so what makes you think you can do that?"

Her voice was filled with anger and provocation, as if she were declaring war on Minos.

Inside the Revolutionary Army headquarters, Long's face was covered in sweat, and a fierce killing intent flashed in his eyes.

He had completely seen through Minos's true nature; this guy was the greatest source of darkness in the world.

The dragon muttered to himself in a low voice, "He will surely plunge the whole world into endless suffering."

His gaze was fixed on Minos on the live stream screen, as if trying to see right through him. "It seems some things have to be put aside for now."

Dragon took a deep breath and continued, "Now, you seem to have become the greatest scourge." His voice was filled with helplessness and determination; he knew he had to take action to stop Minos's ambitions.

Not only did the dragons express strong dissatisfaction with Minos, but all other forces, large and small, were also indignant about Minos's actions.

They questioned Minos's actions, wondering if they would all be forced to join the Navy or the pirate camp in the future.

This discontent and anxiety spread among the people, as if an invisible plague was eroding everyone's hearts.

However, on the Serbian island, Minos still had a smile on his face, as if he didn't care at all.

Cheng Xiaoyu approached him and whispered a reminder: "Main Body, aren't you being a bit too arrogant?" His voice carried a hint of worry and unease.

Minos chuckled softly, as if he had heard something amusing. He replied in a low voice, "You have to believe that the people in the pirate world are all cowards who bully the weak and fear the strong."

"Only by striking them with overwhelming power and instilling fear in them will they learn to submit."

His voice was full of confidence and domineering presence, as if the whole world was under his control.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Xiaoyu nodded involuntarily. He did indeed believe that people in the pirate world often only learn to restrain themselves and be afraid after being severely punished.

Looking at Minos's determined eyes and confident smile, Cheng Xiaoyu was also filled with confidence.

Minos glanced at Cheng Xiaoyu, a slight smile playing on his lips: "Any spare capacity? Now, turn these corpses into Shadow Soldiers!"

His voice revealed a hint of excitement and anticipation, as if he were about to witness a spectacular performance.

Cheng Xiaoyu chuckled and replied confidently, "Of course! Now, just watch my performance!" His voice was full of confidence and strength, as if he had made full preparations.

As Cheng Xiaoyu finished speaking, his aura surged, and dark purple magic power erupted from his body, spreading outwards like a tide.

These magical energies seemed to possess a life of their own, coiling around the surrounding corpses and slowly seeping into them. Cheng Xiaoyu called out in a low voice to the corpses before him, "Conquer the world with me! Rise up!"

His voice seemed to possess some kind of magic, causing the previously lifeless corpses to begin to stir.

Immediately afterwards, Minos saw the dark purple energy on the corpses begin to pulsate violently.

It was as if something was about to burst out of their bodies. Then, one by one, black and white shadows slowly emerged from the corpses.

Some of these shadows wielded jet-black longswords, some brandished jet-black double axes, and some even transformed into enormous black and white bird creatures, black and white mammoths, and various ordinary black and white animals.

Their eyes gleamed with a dark light, as if they were ready for battle.

These are the Zoan-type Devil Fruit users who were resurrected by the power of shadow, and they have now become Cheng Xiaoyu's shadow soldiers.

They stood in neat rows in the square, their imposing presence awe-inspiring. Minos looked at these shadow soldiers, a glint of satisfaction in his eyes.

He knew that with the help of these soldiers, their path to conquest would be much smoother.

And the entire ocean will be engulfed in an unprecedented storm because of their presence.
