One Piece: Starting with the enslavement of Wano Country!

Leilo: "By the way, does Olvia know a man named Nicole?"

Olvia: "The Tree of Omniscience does indeed have a scholar named Nicole, but she's always been doing research in the basement, and I've never had any contact with her. What's wrong?"

Lei Luo: "No."

S: I'm so conflicted.

Should Olvia eat the Flower-Flower Fruit, or should we find her a Mimic Fruit?

Chapter 44 Invasion

Baltimore Island.

After the Beasts Pirates left, this place did not return to its original harsh and cold state.

When they withdrew from the attack on Wano Country, the facilities on the island were not destroyed and were preserved.

The shipyards and weapons factories are still operating, and all the weapons and ships produced are shipped to Wano Country.

After the Beasts Pirates picked and chose, they gave the excess to Feld to sell.

Supported by these two factories, and with the constant warmth provided by the large furnace built by Quinn, Baltimore Island prospered.

On this day, Baltimore Island welcomed a group of uninvited guests.

A pirate, peering through binoculars at the island's industrial city, exclaimed, "I never imagined that Baltimore Island, a desolate, godforsaken place, could develop like this..."

Then, he turned to the tall man standing to the side with his arms crossed and asked, "Boss, are we really going to take over this place?"

The tall man's eyes were firm: "Of course, otherwise why would we be here?"

The crew member looked up at the flags fluttering in the wind on the island and whispered a reminder:

"But... this is the territory of the Beasts Pirates, and the Beasts Pirates' skull and crossbones flag is still flying on the island."

The tall man laughed arrogantly, "Hahahaha... No need to be afraid. The Beasts Pirates are strong, but I, Green Pepper, am not a vegetarian either."

"Understood, boss. I'll go and inform the crew to prepare for battle right away."

Green Pepper nodded authoritatively: "Tell them to try not to damage the buildings on the island during the battle. This will be our Babao Navy's territory from now on!"

"Yes, boss!" the crew member replied and quickly went to make the notification.

Green Pepper was proud, after all, he had fought Garp and the battle ended in a draw.

Who is Garp? He is now a renowned naval hero, whose iron fists can suppress the entire sea.

The massive Babao naval force quickly attracted the attention of the Baltimore armed forces.

Baltimore, as the first base of the Beasts Pirates, retains a certain level of fighting strength.

Armed with weapons produced by the weapons factory, they quickly surrounded the Babao navy.

Green Pepper coldly swept his gaze over the group, not taking them seriously at all.

The Baltimore army commander recognized Green Pepper's signature cone-shaped head and knew that he and his men were no match for them.

But he was not intimidated and shouted, "This is the territory of the Beasts Pirates. Please leave immediately, and we can pretend you were never here."

Upon hearing this, Green Pepper grinned and laughed loudly, "Hahaha... Now that we're here, how can we pretend we weren't here!"

The army commander frowned and warned again, "Does your Eight Treasures Navy want to be enemies with the Beasts Pirates?"

Green Pepper sneered, "So what if we're enemies? Men, charge!"

The Eight Treasures Navy, armed with various weapons, launched an attack with a roar.

The army commander gritted his teeth: "Drive these pirates away!"

Green pepper didn't touch it, watching leisurely.

He soon realized something was wrong; the Baltimores were even more powerful than their own Eight Treasures Navy.

Their weapons, in particular, are quite advanced!

The Eight Treasures Navy were all people he brought from his hometown, so Qingjiao naturally couldn't stand by and watch them suffer heavy losses.

Green Pepper's Conqueror's Haki erupted instantly, and a terrifying aura pressed down on the Baltimore people who were fighting.

Under the onslaught of Green Pepper's Conqueror's Haki, most of the Baltimores foamed at the mouth and collapsed unconscious.

The Babao navy pressed their advantage and quickly annihilated the army on Baltimore Island, leaving only the army commander struggling to hold on!

Green Pepper's lips curled up, and jet-black Armament Haki slowly crept up his cone-shaped head!

He immediately leaped high into the air and charged towards the army commander.

The army commander didn't even know Armament Haki, so he was powerless to resist. His head was pierced through by the push, and he slowly closed his eyes in resentment.

Green Pepper pulled out the cone and grinned maliciously, "Nothing in this world is harder than my cone!"

"My lords, Baltimore Island is ours now!"

The Babao Water Army raised their arms and shouted!

"Long live the boss!"

"Long live the Eight Treasures Navy!"

Amidst the cheers, the Den Den Mushi on the army commander's body suddenly rang.

"Bulu Bulu... Bulu Bulu..."

Green Pepper crouched down, pulled a Den Den Mushi from the army commander's body, and answered without thinking: "Hello!"

On the other end of the Den Den Mushi, Jin sensed something was wrong with the voice and coldly asked, "You're not the commander of the Baltimore army, who are you?"

Green Pepper sneered, "You must be a member of the Beasts Pirates, right? Tell Kaido that Baltimore belongs to my Happo Navy!"

Before Jin could say anything more, Green Pepper crushed the Den Den Mushi.

He then burst into laughter: "Come on, men, replace the skull and crossbones flags on the island with ours, and then we'll have a banquet!"

On the other end of the phone, Jin, far away in Wano Country, was furious and crushed the Den Den Mushi in anger.

Someone actually dared to provoke the Beasts Pirates!

In that instant, Ember's Overlord Haki soared into the sky, and countless dark red lightning bolts crackled across the heavens!

At that moment, Kaido, who had just returned to Wano Country with the recruited troops, sensed this angry Conqueror's Haki.

"Jin's Conqueror's Haki?"

"What's wrong? Why are you so angry?"

The dragon instantly took to the air and flew towards the White Dance region where Jin was located.

Kaido cut to the chase and asked, "What's wrong?"

Suppressing his anger, Jin reported truthfully: "Mr. Kaido, it's like this... Baltimore has been captured by the Happo Navy!"

Kaido laughed, a laugh born of rage.

"How dare these mere Eight Treasures Navy soldiers be so arrogant? They're courting death!"

King immediately volunteered: "Mr. Kaido, I'll go over there. I'll bring back Chinjao's head."

"No, you keep an eye on Wano Country and deal with the crew I brought back. I'll go there myself and meet this Chinjao, and see if his strength can withstand his arrogance!"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than the dragon soared into the clouds and flew towards Baltimore Island.

King found another Den Den Mushi and reported everything that had happened in Baltimore and the news of Kaido's expedition to Raylo.

The serpent is flying towards the Sabaody Archipelago.

I didn't pass by Fishman Island on my way here, so I'll have to pick up the historical inscriptions of the Fishman Island road signs on my way back.

Lei Luo was stunned when he heard the news.

It's true what they say: barren land goes uncultivated, but once cultivated, everyone wants to cultivate it.

Green bell pepper, hehe.

The guy who got knocked out by Garp with one punch, is he still thinking he's invincible because he fought Garp years ago?

Since they dared to provoke us, they can't blame themselves.

Raylo, who had already flown to the Grand Line, suddenly turned around and flew towards the West Blue.

If Green Pepper hadn't made such a fuss, he would have forgotten that there was a precious jade iceberg in the West Sea!

Chapter 45 The Jade Iceberg

The incident of the Babao Navy's capture of Baltimore Island caused quite a stir.

The eyes of the new world are all on this place.

Green Pepper was at his peak right from the start, with a bounty that once reached 500 million Berries, and he even fought against Garp.

Later, Chinjao disappeared again for some unknown reason, while Garp's fame spread far and wide with each battle with pirates, and he was hailed as a naval hero.

A nightmare for pirates.

Now he's chasing after the great pirate Roger every day!

Chinjao, who fought Garp, now only has a bounty of 500 million, but people equate his strength with that of Garp.

Meanwhile, the Beasts Pirates have risen to prominence in the past two years, first conquering Baltimore and then defeating countless challengers there.

After conserving their strength, they have now even conquered Wano Country, which had been closed off from the world for hundreds of years.

No one can resist joining in the fun.

Everyone in the New World eagerly awaits the outcome of this clash between the Beasts Pirates and the Happo Navy.

The dragon, which was flying towards Baltimore, was also somewhat unsure of Green Pepper's strength.

The god-like strength of Garp and Roger in God Valley left a deep impression on him back then.

That's why he stopped Jin from taking action himself.

Far away in the West Blue, Lei Luo wasn't worried at all about who would win between Chinjao and Kaido.

Kaido is guaranteed to win.

The claim that Garp deliberately destroyed eight mountains to defeat Chinjao is ridiculous. In reality, Chinjao was defeated by Garp with a single punch.

You try letting Garp one-shot Kaido and see what happens!!!

So now that he knew Kaido had already made his move, Lei Luo wasn't in a hurry anymore and went back to the West Blue to investigate Chinjao's secrets.

Baoyu, the iceberg, wouldn't leave Qingjiao a single penny.

He's always been a vengeful person, possessing the fine tradition of protagonists in Chinese novels: if you offend me, I'll kill your whole family!

It's like if he were Zephyr, and a pirate dared to kill his family, he would dare to press the golden Den Den Mushi in the pirate's hometown!

In other words, Green Pepper's hometown, the Flower Country, was designed based on the Chinese model, which is why Lei Luo decided to spare this country.

The glacier in the West Sea was relatively easy to find, especially since it was located in Olvia, a local. However, the location of the Jade Ice Bed was not so easy to find.

The treasure was buried under the ice and wasn't easy to find, otherwise it would have been taken away long ago.

No one can break through the West Blue, because there's the Navy and the World Government.

The ice wasn't as simple as Green Pepper claimed, that only he could break through it.

Rello, Stussy, and Olvia walked on the vast glacier.

Stussy frowned and muttered in a low voice, "Why do you always like coming to places like this, where it's freezing cold?"

Lei Luo chuckled lightly: "Picking up money!"

"Money?!" Stussy's eyes instantly transformed into Bailey's, and he gripped Leilo's arm tightly with both hands.

Over the past two years, she has become completely skeptical of Lei Luo's words, especially given the precedent of Golden Township.

Lei Luo shook his head speechlessly.

A greedy person is never satisfied, even if Stussy's world contains a mountain of gold and most of the wealth of the Beast Pirates.

But actually, he quite liked Stussy the way she was now—a beautiful, greedy, and vicious bad woman.

Yet they were completely devoted to him and obeyed his every word.
