Chapter 180
Haiyuan calendar 1519, in the New World.
In King Dressrosa’s palace, a small swimming pool sits in an exquisite palace courtyard. This was originally a resting place of the Royal Family of Liku, with stone tables, stone benches, swings, etc. However, after Doflamingo became king, he felt that these things were too vulgar and transformed them into a swimming pool.
At this time, Doflamingo was sitting on the sofa next to the swimming pool, with his hands on the back of the couch and the whole person leaning against it, while several Donquixote Pirates officials were doing their own affairs.
“Young Master, Young Master!”
A panic shout sounded, and it came in before entering the yard, and then one silhouette stumbled and ran in. –With panic on his face, he accidentally bumped into the steps and fell. Many Donquixote Pirates cadres were on the side, with a hint of discomfort flashing across his face.
‘As a member of Donquixote Pirates, how can there be such a bad mental quality?’
Just when Lao G wanted to reprimand, Doflamingo suddenly waved his hand to stop him, and said softly: “Let’s talk, who’s here again?”
The pirate was taken aback. Obviously, he didn’t expect it. Doflamingo guessed what it was and hurriedly said: “Um… Um, Young Master, the troublemaker is here again.”
Doflamingo’s heart burst into anger. The blue veins on his forehead bulged high, and his hands clasped the sofa tightly, showing how restless Doflamingo felt.
“What!”
The Donquixote Pirates cadres beside them also showed a surprised look on their faces. Unexpectedly Marine would come again.
Baby5 immediately said with an unhappy expression: “What’s the matter that those Marines carry with us? Even if they just came last time, they came again within two days.”
On the side, Gladius had a mask on his face, and no one could see his expression. He said, “Young Master, what should I do? Unexpectedly, the Marines came back after three days. These days are the peak shipment period.” Gladius growled: “That bastard just came to trouble us, several times a year, every time he used the same reason.”
“Yes.” Giolla echoed: “He is here to retaliate against us. He often comes to trouble us, and this time it is even more hateful. He actually came again after three days.”
[*TL note:]
Doflamingo is also very angry, but he is a Marine. Every time he uses ‘reasons for endangering the World Government’s safety’, as Seven Warlords, he must cooperate with the investigation unless Doflamingo gives up Seven Warlords’ position.
“Cancel all recent transactions, and at the same time ask those traders to stay here temporarily. Continue trading after the bastard is gone.”
Giolla said reluctantly, “Young Master, should we let that bastard investigate us like this….”
Doflamingo’s eyes narrowed. Giolla immediately closed her mouth, knowing that Doflamingo was angry now.
“Apart from this, what else can we do? The whole world knows that once we ambush the bastard Lin Tian, they will use their positions to retaliate against us. That is a dignified and upright plan.”
Hearing Doflamingo’s words, Gladius involuntarily lowered his head and held his hands tightly. There was a big reason for this.
Doflamingo said solemnly, and his tone revealed unconcealed rage and helplessness. When he decided to ambush Lin Tian, he thought it would be successful, but he didn’t expect the failure would cause such big trouble.
…….
Several years had passed.
In a blink of an eye, Lin Tian has officially entered the New World since the last World War at Sabaody Archipelago.
In the New World, countless powerhouses gather here, which is a paradise for Lin Tian. In the battle with countless powerhouses, plus several years of foundation, Lin Tian’s strength has once again entered a period of rapid growth.
In the past two years, Lin Tian’s strength in the New World has soared, and he has also been successfully promoted to Marine Vice Admiral. Marine Headquarters agreed unanimously and directly commanded the strongest branch of Marine, the G1 branch.
And the first thing Lin Tian took office that shocked the New World was to lead the entire G1 branch thousands of Marine elite soldiers to surround Dressrosa –Seven Warlords/Doflamingo’s site– on the grounds of ‘endangering the World Government’.
As a Great Pirate, Doflamingo, also known as Seven Warlords with Marine headquarters, definitely disagrees. At that time, he fought Lin Tian, and the two were evenly matched, and no one could do anything about it.
The two men restrained each other in this way, and they didn’t do anything. As a result, all cadres under his command were sent to sabotage the search of the remaining Marines, and these Marines had to retreat.
But who knows, Lin Tian had prepared early and used the price of offsetting a meal to bring the Marine Headquarter reinforcement over and suppressed the place. If it wasn’t for Doflamingo’s timely action, the entire Donquixote Pirates got almost wiped out.
Therefore, thousands of Marine soldiers of the G1 branch did not stop Dresrosa from performing the mission. But Lin Tian had Doflamingo a wall ladder.
The Marine blocked all the surrounding sea, let people come in, but did not let anyone out, and carried out a carpet search for three consecutive days. They searched all the places but did not find anything.
The whole kingdom was full of peace and tranquility. But they even spontaneously prevented the parade and confronted Marine, saying that the Marine had ruined their beautiful life and asked them to withdraw.
Furthermore, Doflamingo used his World Noble and Seven Warlords status to protest against Marine and pressure the World Government. Under heavy pressure, Lin Tian had to retreat.
Because of this incident, Lin Tian has been recognized by all Marine soldiers in the G1 branch. After taking that position, his popularity in the Marine has risen by a large margin. It has become a character that many Marines worship.
The Marine has been established for so long. Still, no Admiral has such courage as Lin Tian, and even now, the Fleet Admiral Sengoku does not.
Leading thousands of Marine soldiers and just broke into Seven Warlords’ site for an unreasonable reason, turned over their hometown, and then left unharmed.
Since the establishment of the Marine, many people have had the strength to do this kind of thing, but who dares to do it? Where is only Lin Tian, and that is what Marine lacks?
A more Haki incident happened later. The impact of this incident was too great, and Doflamingo was ashamed of this. The world caused a large-scale impact, and the Marine had to hold a press conference to clarify.
As the main person, Lin Tian certainly had to stand up. In the press conference, Lin Tian said something that shocked the world in front of the world.
“How can I say it! This matter is just my personal wish and not Marine’s order.”
“Then, Vice Admiral Lin Tian, why did you do this?”
“It’s all revenge. I have a vengeance against Donquixote Pirates. No matter what, as long as I am still there, I will not give up revenge on the Donquixote Pirates.”
These words shocked the world in an instant, and countless people argued about it. Some agreed, and some disagreed, but no one took Lin Tian’s words seriously.
But Lin Tian really did it. As long as he passed Dressrosa, Lin Tian would investigate on the grounds of “endangering the safety of the World Government”.
For this, Donquixote Pirates can be described as biting their teeth with hatred, secretly not knowing how many times they fought with Lin Tian. However, Lin Tian is still alive and well, coming once from time to time.
……….
On the surrounding sea of Dressrosa, the Three Giant Warships Marine Battleship is coming. On the sails, the two characters G1 are drawn on it.
Lin Tian, dressed in Marine Vice-Admiral uniforms, stood quietly on the bow. He silently looking at Dressrosa ahead, saying nothing, no one knowing what he was thinking in his mind. But those Marine soldiers behind Lin Tian were not so calm, especially those who had newly joined G1. They are even more excited; they can come to the Seven Warlords, Doflamingo’s site, to show off. No! It is to maintain world peace, which is what countless Marine soldiers look forward to.
Since Lin Tian led the G1 branch, it has become a place where countless Marine soldiers want to go. Many Marine non-commissioned officers would rather go to the G1 branch as a soldier.
Because not only is the entire Marine’s idol there, but also many things outside the limits of Marine, but are in line with justice, just like what is done today.
For this reason, many Marine generals complained about Lin Tian, who robbed all the elites.
On the bow of the ship, don’t just look at Lin Tian’s surface calm. If you look closely, you will find that Lin Tian’s brows tightened, thinking about something annoying. Doflamingo indeed can’t stop Lin Tian from searching every time, but Lin Tian actually lost.
‘I don’t know how many times so many people have searched, wasting so much manpower and material resources, but never finding anything.’
In fact, after searching so many times, Lin Tian did not have many secrets. After all, thousands of people came to search for these many times, and the Marine knew how many holes there were on this island.
For example, this beautiful country is actually just a scam. The beautiful scenery where toys and people get along is an illusion. The pirates secretly control this country, and Donquixote Pirates secretly control everyone.
The surface is peaceful, but countless dark transactions are in secret, but no conclusive evidence can be obtained. But with just these, it is impossible to deal with Doflamingo, who has the identity of World Noble. You must know that no matter what World Noble does, the World Government cannot take action against World Noble.
Every time he suddenly comes, it makes Lin Tian feel as if he was hitting the cotton with his fist, without a sense of strength.
Lin Tian specifically investigated the tragedy that occurred in Dressrosa’s life that night a few years ago, and at the same time, contributed to Doflamingo becoming the king here.
As long as a slightly smarter person deliberately carefully, it will be revealed that the night’s things are full of loopholes, and it is obvious that someone was behind them controlling everything.
The Liku Royal Family, who originally ruled here, was famous for benevolence and righteousness. Whether at home or abroad, how could it become extremely brutal overnight and wantonly slaughter the people?
Lin Tian didn’t believe that there must be a hidden story behind it. The biggest suspect was Doflamingo because it was them who got the most benefit. It was a coincidence that they appeared that night.
For this reason, Lin Tian arrested many local people and used various methods to understand the situation, but no answer. They didn’t remember the events of that night, as if someone had erased that memory.
At this moment, behind Lin Tian, a beautiful woman with pink hair and sunglasses on her head is holding a cigarette in the back.
“Vice Admiral Lin Tian, Hina is very helpless. You said you came here not long ago. Are you as idle as this?”
[*TL note:“Black Cage” Hina is a Marine officer and a former classmate of Vice Admiral Smoker. Jango and Fullbody are currently her subordinates. She was originally introduced as a captain. During the timeskip, she was promoted to the rank of rear admiral. Hina has a tendency to speak in the third person. It is normal for young children in Japan to refer to themselves by using their own names as a first-person pronoun (e.g., “Hina fail”). This is seen as cute. Aside from this habit, however, she does not make any effort to act cutely and usually appears very stoic. She has been shown to be a respectful and rational person, calmly admitting her loss after trying to capture Luffy.]
