One Piece: Guilty Crown

Chapter 77: Chapter 77: An Inside Man?



The moon was bright and the stars were sparse.

The night sky of a sky island held a unique beauty.

On the massive Ark Maxim, within the opulent main hall of the banquet.

Judge, Gin, Brolis, Shiki, and others were all gathered here.

Reiju, this beautiful lady, stood elegantly and silently behind Judge as before, unwilling to sit down.

"With the power of the Float-Float Fruit, Germa's next plan is to first secretly transport some resource-rich islands from the Blue Sea, establish large-scale bases, and in the shortest possible time, conquer, recruit, and unify those scattered sky island nations in the White Sea. Then, using resources acquired or plundered from all over the world, build a large-scale army, and annex the Four Seas..."

Listening to Judge's calm introduction, regardless of whether it was Brolis or Law and the others, although they were already somewhat mentally prepared, they couldn't help but be a little shocked.

With a different perspective, in maximizing the benefits of the Float-Float Fruit's power, Judge was undoubtedly far superior to Shiki the Golden Lion.

One could imagine, if this plan was perfectly executed, perhaps in a few years Germa would truly have the capital to surpass the Revolutionary Army and threaten the World Government's rule.

After all, the Revolutionary Army hadn't been established for a very long time.

"But such a big move will inevitably not escape the World Government's notice for too long. It's very likely to attract the serious attention of the World Government and Marine Headquarters, even alerting them. Perhaps CP5, 7, or 9 will directly intervene to suppress it. I plan to plant a nail within the Marines, to act as an inside man, for rainy days..."

"And this nail obviously cannot be too weak, and must be able to access the secrets of the Marine high command!"

To plant a chess piece within Marine Headquarters, this was something Judge had carefully considered.

There was only one reason: in the future, if Germa truly had a complete showdown with the World Government, then its main force, Marine Headquarters, would inevitably be the primary power. Conflict between the two was bound to erupt sooner or later.

And thinking it over and over, the only one who could truly maximize the effect of this chess piece was Gin, who had already replaced Enel!

His strength and abilities were completely capable of rising rapidly within the Marines in the shortest possible time.

Moreover, currently not yet proficient in mastering the Rumble-Rumble Fruit's power, coupled with Enel's not-so-strong physique, as long as he didn't expose that he had already mastered the Six Powers, it wouldn't arouse too much suspicion.

The power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, combined with Observation Haki, could completely bring the entire Marine Headquarters under surveillance through electric waves.

As long as he could find a way to stay at Marine Headquarters, major decisions made by the Marine high command and related classified intelligence would basically not escape his surveillance.

Even though (bfdf) he felt he had considerable strength and his forces were constantly growing, Judge had never underestimated the World Government, this behemoth with hundreds of years of deep-rooted power.

Marine Headquarters might be its most important force, but it would definitely not be without other trump cards. Even the mysterious CP0 was perhaps just the tip of the iceberg.

Before a real showdown, one must find ways to weaken the power under this behemoth, sparing no expense.

With Gin as this important inside man, there would be opportunities to weaken the Marines bit by bit.

"This candidate, I believe everyone has already guessed..."

Looking at Brolis, Law, and the others who all had some guesses in their hearts and were looking thoughtful, Judge turned to Gin, whose face was now completely unfamiliar and made people feel a little unaccustomed: "It is precisely you, Gin!"

"Your abilities and strength can better achieve this step..."

A white headscarf, bare-chested, wearing loose-fitting long pants, his well-built muscles clearly defined.

Without his former long earlobes, the tomoe drums on his back had also been directly removed. Wielding a long golden staff, this was the new "God of Thunder."

"Me?"

Gin nodded slightly.

Even his body had changed; the Marines indeed wouldn't be able to recognize his identity.

"You need to find a way to join the Marines and, in the shortest possible time, become a Vice Admiral of Marine Headquarters! Of course, if you can climb to an even higher position, all the better..."

"This is your new identity. I've already had the highest-ranking officer of CP7, Spandam, take care of it!" Judge took out a document that Spandam had just sent over via a Den Den Mushi fax and handed it to Gin.

For Gin, who currently occupied Enel's body and possessed the power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, he had high hopes.

He couldn't determine what heights Gin might reach in the future; it would specifically depend on his talent and effort.

But what could be confirmed was that this sharp blade of thunder would definitely stab fiercely into the back of Marine Headquarters or the World Government!

"West Blue Bounty Hunter, Sol?"

After reading the document, Gin couldn't help but be stunned.

The identity Judge had arranged for him was that of a villager in a certain village in the West Blue.

On one outing, the village was attacked by pirates. His family and the villagers were all slaughtered by the pirates.

To avenge them, he decided to set out to sea and joined the ranks of bounty hunters. However, he had only hunted some insignificant mountain bandits and pirates, preferred to act alone, and was not good at dealing with officials.

Luckily, he obtained the Logia-type Rumble-Rumble Fruit, his strength soared, and after annihilating the pirate crew that had attacked his village to exact revenge, he accepted the enthusiastic invitation of a Marine captain from a certain West Blue branch and agreed to join the Marines.

This clearly included not only his past "experiences" but also the "plot" for a period in the future.

"That's right. From now on, you don't need to show your face publicly. After a few days, when you rendezvous with Niji and the others, you will then proceed to the West Blue and, while you're at it, kill a few somewhat famous pirates. I will contact you then and arrange everything..."

With the covert operations of CP7's highest-ranking officer, Spandam, in the future, the identity of "West Blue Bounty Hunter, Sol" would not be suspected at all.

...

At this moment.

North Blue, a certain sea area.

A massive Ark Maxim was speeding across the sea, heading towards the East Blue.

Vinsmoke Judge, overjoyed upon receiving the news, was personally leading dozens of Arks, preparing to rendezvous with Judge (the father) in the Calm Belt. If they directly headed to a sky island at an altitude of tens of thousands of meters, they could completely avoid the eyes of the World Government and the Marines.

Niji and Yonji were not in the North Blue but were in the New World, heading to Forgotten Island to retrieve that Zoan-type, blood-sucking form Devil Fruit they had just found.

To avoid attracting attention, Germa's soldiers were still searching all over Forgotten Island, continuing to look for "Devil Fruits."

"I never thought that even a legendary great pirate like Shiki the Golden Lion would be defeated by Judge (the son)..." Reiju, who was having dinner, rested her chin on her fair right hand and sighed in disbelief.

A sexy, white camisole mini-dress perfectly showcased her wonderful figure.

"Not only did he obtain the power of Shiki's Float-Float Fruit in a disguised way, but he also obtained Shiki's enormous treasure. From now on, Germa will no longer need to resort to those half-baked means due to lack of funds..."

Vinsmoke Judge (the father) was too happy and a bit drunk. It wasn't clear if it was because the pressure of carrying Germa's grand revival plan was too great, but he was actually moved to tears. He said with a drunken slur, "Haha~~~ From now on, our Vinsmoke clan's three-hundred-year grand plan for revival finally has hope. The souls of our ancestors who could not set foot in their homeland can finally rest in peace!"
