Major General Fina looked at the veterans one by one, trying to select a more outgoing representative to speak.

Blue and red round epaulets, armbands with blue stripes on a white background, impressive hairstyle...

Well, it’s up to you!

Major General Fina's eyes naturally fell on Bellemere:

"this……"

"Reporting to Major General Fina! I am former second lieutenant Bellemere from the 177th branch of the East China Sea!"

Noticing the look that Major General Fina was looking at him, Bellemeier immediately responded loudly and at the same time gave a very standard military salute.

"No need to be so formal, Lieutenant Bellemere,"

Major General Fina smiled and waved her hand, "Can you share with us the reason why you accepted the call-up order and returned to the front line..."

"Is it my reason..."

Bellemeier scratched his head in embarrassment, "Major General, don't be angry if I tell you this. I adopted two children on the battlefield and wanted to raise them well, but I am only a second lieutenant and my allowance after retirement is too small.

There are too few to give them a decent life."

After Bellemere finished speaking, many veterans on the deck showed strange expressions. Even Major General Fina was stunned by her honest words:

"So you're doing it for the perk? Not for any belief?"

"...Yes! Of course, there are also various superior conditions provided by the headquarters..."

Of course Bellemere could feel the strange looks from the people around her when she said this, but even so, she was not willing to lie.

(However, is it too candid? What if this Major General Fina...)

“Very good! Very good!”

"...Eh?"

Major General Fina's loud praise and active applause made almost everyone, including Bellemeier, a little confused.

"How can a sailor who cannot face his true thoughts and desires calmly hand over his back to others? Your veteran regiment will have to fight all kinds of powerful enemies in the future. Before defeating them,

, you must overcome your vanity!"

"What's more, to measure whether a sailor is qualified or not, don't look at what he said or thought, but what he did - if we really want to use thoughts to measure whether a sailor is qualified, then our Navy

It has no meaning of existence.”

"By the way, the reason you explained reminds me of Lieutenant General Porusalino. When he first joined the Navy, he also said similar things to you... Very good, Ensign Bellemere!"

"...Yes, sir!"

The flattered Bellemeier, as well as the many thoughtful veterans on the deck, did not notice the slightly twitching corners of the eyes of the seemingly heroic Major General Fina.

(Fortunately, I have memorized some of Colonel Porusalino’s usual compliments to me, otherwise I really wouldn’t be able to cope with this scene...)

(Please, let a sailor as reliable as Lieutenant General Sakaski speak!)

Major General Fina suddenly understood why the Warring States Marshal always disliked Porusalino so much...

…

Since Porusalino traveled through time, whether it was through direct means or through indirect influence that he had no intention of doing, in short, he has changed the fate of many people.

Torrepol, Pica, Diamanti, and Vergo—these four people are typical guys whose fate was indirectly affected by Porusalino.

In the original plot of One Piece, after Doflamingo killed his father, the four people who had been frightened by the golden lion's domineering aura witnessed Dove's kingly qualifications, which was what he unconsciously released.

Overlord looks domineering, so he is ambitious

Surrounded him. Torrebol not only handed over the power of revenge, that is, the superhuman thread fruit to Doflamingo, but also formed the Don Quixote family with him, and together with the other three

Together they became the first four cadres.

After Porusalino became a time traveler, the fate of Doflamingo's family was changed by him - Rosinandi now became a navy, and Ancient Sage Huo Ming participated in the behind-the-scenes operation of "World Economic News"

, Doflamingo himself, under the arrangement of Porusalino, lived on the Sky Island with his mother and Ace's mother Lujiu, running his own power.

Therefore, the fateful connection between the four Torrebols and Doflamingo was interrupted.

However, the four of them are prominent villains who appeared in the original plot of One Piece, so even if they did not intersect with Doflamingo's fate, they did not "disappear from everyone".

In fact, just like in the original plot, they gathered around another young man with great potential.

——Edward Weeble, the culprit who caused Admiral Zephyr to betray the navy in the original plot of One Piece, one of the second generation kings of the Shichibukai, calls himself "Whitebeard II", "Whitebeard's son".

Although his brain is not working well, and there is no direct evidence to prove his father-son relationship with Whitebeard, the admiral "Kizaru" in the original plot once commented on him, saying that he has the same strong power as Whitebeard in his youth.

In the original One Piece plot timeline, Edward Weibull's first known action was to attack the navy recruit ship led by Admiral Zefa. Not only did he bloodbath the ship with great power, but he also

One of General Zefa's arms was cut off, forcing the latter to be fitted with a mechanical prosthetic hand.

Of course, since Porusalino became a time traveler and the four Torrepols got together with him, such a thing was naturally affected and did not happen. Therefore, today's Edward Weibull,

There is no reputation at all on the sea.

…

"Mom! I'm hungry!"

On a large ordinary ship that did not fly any special flags, a somewhat innocent and silly voice sounded.

It has to be said that even if not measured from the perspective of strength, Edward Weeble is indeed easy to associate with the world's strongest man, Edward Newgate - like the latter, he has a burly body and uses huge weapons.

He has a naginata and a crescent-shaped white beard that curves upward, but his is thinner and longer.

Of course, apart from the iconic beard and weapons, he has little resemblance to Edward Newgate in appearance:

He is fat and ugly, with mucus always flowing out of his nose, and thick lips. Although he is taller than Whitebeard, his upper body has a lot of flesh, and his legs are ridiculously thin. His hair grows to his legs, and his hair is on both sides of his temples.

Tie it into braids.

If it weren't for the three shocking scars, which showed that his entire left hand and head had been severely injured, he would definitely look like a mentally retarded person with abnormal development.

"I'll give you something to eat soon, Weibull, but you have to be good now~"

An ugly woman with thick red lips, sunglasses, a cane, a short stature, a wrinkled face, and a leopard-print coat walked out of the cabin.

"Then can I eat meat? Mom, I want to eat a lot of meat, hehe..."

"Meat is very expensive, Weibull. If you want to eat a lot of meat, you must show your skills when the time comes~"

The ugly woman, who Edward Weibull called her mother, "Miss Ba Jin," spoke in a bewitching voice.

"No, no problem! Mom!"

Edward Weibull shook his fist vigorously.

"Hey hey hey~ You are so reliable, Weibull,"

Behind miss Ba Jin, the sloppy uncle Torebol, who was even uglier than Edward Weibull, also walked out of the cabin. He looked at the mother and son with a flattering smile:

"Hey, beautiful miss Ba Jin, I said, I said, that Gaya Island, is there really an empty island on it? And is there really the gold we want on the empty island? I have never heard of it, never

I’ve heard of it!”

"You're too close to me!"

miss Ba Jin first pushed away Torebol, who always had a snotty nose, with a look of disgust, and then explained with an arrogant attitude, "I am a woman with a white beard! This precious information he specially obtained from the Golden Lion

Help me find out. How could you, a little person like you, who was frightened back to the paradise from the new world just because you glanced at the golden lion from a distance, know?"

Although before the time travel, almost all sea fans, including Porosalino, believed that a man like Whitebeard would not blindly fall in love with Miss Ba Jin, "Little Ma" did confirm some information.

That is, Miss Ba Jin did stay on the same boat with Whitebeard many years ago.

Considering the ages of the two of them and the various coincidences in the pirate world, there is a high probability that this ship is the ship of Rocks, the former "overlord of the sea".

Of course, even if they are on the same boat, the possibility of Whitebeard helping Miss Ba Jin to obtain information from Golden Lion is basically negligible - if Porusalino were here, he would only think that this man is ambitious.

The woman was just looking for a high-level excuse for her information. She might have accidentally peeked into the "Flying Big Pirate" Golden Lion's investigation of a series of empty islands on the Grand Line...

However, Torebol didn't know this. Just the mention of the two big names Golden Lion and White Beard was enough to make his scalp numb. He just looked at Miss with excitement and awe.

Ba Jin, then got closer:

"Hey hey hey~ Then let's speed up the sailing! Beautiful miss Ba Jin~ Try to get there this afternoon!"

…

The Sky Island that Miss Bajin and the others are going to, which is the Sky Island where Doflamingo lives now, was originally the same island as Gaya Island located in the Grand Line. However, the Sky Island was torn apart by the rising sea currents and washed up into the sky, so

Gaya Island was forced to split into two halves: one became the Gaya Island of the Grand Line, and the other was an empty island in the White Sea.

Regardless of whether you want to reach the empty island through other sea routes where "only a few of the 100 people who set out can survive", or you want to reach the empty island through the soaring sea currents where "only all of the 100 people who set out can survive", you must go through the sea route.

Ya Island. In other words, Gaia Island is the only way to reach Sky Island.

In fact, this is not only the only way to the Sky Island, but also the only way to the next island on the Grand Line. Compared with other islands that are full of dangers and all kinds of strange people and strange things, this island

It is still rare and relatively safe. Because of this, many civilians came to live here, and this place soon developed into a town.

Various industries centered on serving pirates have been developed here, and most pirates will choose to stay here temporarily to obtain supplies and relax.

Over time, a prosperous town called Mogu Town formed on the entire west coast of Gaya Island.
