The 29 areas from 1-29 together formed the Lawless Zone!
Through a false rumor, she managed to clear out many pirates within those 29 areas, but because of this, many pirates heard the news and left the Shambles overnight.
After hearing about this, pirates and lawbreakers began to hide, knowing that an uninvited guest had arrived at Shambles!
She actually started cleaning up the Sabaody Archipelago!
This caused Esdeath to spend a full six months completely clearing out Shambles, and as a result, the Shambles of today...
Areas 1-29, which were originally the Lawless Zone, have become the safest and best-policed places, and everyone has reined themselves in.
"Purupuru purupuru!"
In her office, Esdeath picked up the Den Den Mushi; after half a year of applying, she finally managed to get Smoker transferred over.
Furthermore, Tashigi and her four little ones all applied for early graduation, and Esdeath also requested them all!
"Hello!"
"Hello my foot! Do you have any idea how many people you've provoked? I've been cleaning up your messes!"
The Den Den Mushi transformed into Sengoku's appearance, a man with an afro, and he roared at Esdeath.
"Alright, alright, just tell me what's up?"
Esdeath waved her hand dismissively; after half a year, Esdeath's height had actually changed quite a bit.
She was almost two meters tall!
Her two long legs were propped up on the office desk, while Carina was in the office, busy handling documents.
"I'm calling about two things this time."
Listening to Esdeath's indifferent tone, Sengoku was helpless; half a year might not be long for them, but for Esdeath, it was incredible!
Esdeath even gained the title of "Navy Queen!" among the common people!
"The first thing is for you to go to Daughter Island and invite Boa Hancock to become a Shichibukai."
"Since you're both women, you might be more persuasive. Don't even think about refusing me because it's troublesome!"
Sengoku looked at the Den Den Mushi on his end, which seemed quite unwilling, and his voice unconsciously grew louder!
He even felt like he was facing a young Garp again!
If Esdeath had a personality or work attitude like Zephyr, it would be great, but thankfully, her documents have never had errors, which is still a good thing.
In fact, he had no idea that all the document processing, work reports, and such were done by Carina; although her cultivation talent wasn't high, her talent in this area was maxed out!
"Alright, alright, I get it."
She reluctantly accepted the task; she was already bored staying in Shambles anyway and was thinking of going out for a walk.
However, for that nasty woman, Boa Hancock, to have her come to invite her, a battle was probably about to break out.
"There's also one more thing regarding your military rank. We have unanimously decided, in light of your performance during this period, to grant you the rank of Marine Rear Admiral!"
At this, Sengoku's voice became serious; this was not a small matter.
Actually, Vice Admiral wasn't impossible, but Esdeath had joined the Marine too recently, barely less than a year in total.
Coupled with the title of Navy Queen, which caused some dissatisfaction from higher-ups, her rank was only Marine Rear Admiral.
"After you complete this task, come back for the conferment, and then pick up Tashigi and Ain. Is that alright?"
"OK!"
The second piece of news finally made Esdeath satisfied; it had been half a year, and they still hadn't mentioned promoting her.
Although she didn't become a Vice Admiral, becoming a Rear Admiral would still get her on the newspapers, and her prestige would surely increase significantly!
Besides, she missed Tashigi and the others. In the blink of an eye, it had been over half a year since she left Marineford, and she hadn't returned yet.
Kacha!
She hung up the Den Den Mushi.
Carina spoke with a hint of resentment, "Congratulations, Lady Esdeath! You've become a Marine Rear Admiral."
She, on the other hand, had become a free tool, processing documents here every day.
"Don't worry, I definitely won't forget you."
She put her legs down, put on her cloak, and walked out of the office.
Half a year was enough time for Esdeath to grow!
"System, check attribute panel!"
"Ding!"
"Host: Esdeath
Abilities: Demon God Manifestation: Demon's Extract (Intermediate), Swordsman, Navy Six Styles (Mastered), Haoshoku Haki (Intermediate), High-Speed Regeneration (Beginner).
Prestige: 255,480 points"
If there was one thing that grew the most in half a year, it was undoubtedly her physique!
250,000 prestige points, all demonstrating her actions over the past six months.
The prestige that could be gained in Shambles had already reached its peak.
"System, purchase Zanpakuto and Sage Body!"
"Ding! Are you sure you want to spend 200,000 prestige points to purchase Zanpakuto and Sage Body?"
"Confirm!"
"Ding! Purchase successful!"
"Oh?"
Esdeath suddenly realized that her military saber was completely intact and even emitted waves of coldness. The system had directly attached the strongest ice-type Zanpakuto to her sword.
"But this is good too."
The saber that had accompanied her in battle for half a year was now tattered, and she didn't know how to maintain a blade.
Nor could she use Armed Color to forge her own black blade.
Then, a warm current flowed into Esdeath's body.
"Ding! High-Speed Regeneration assimilated into Sage Body!"
"Ding! Haoshoku Haki upgraded to Advanced level!"
"Ding! Demon God Manifestation: Demon's Extract (Intermediate) upgraded to Advanced!"
A series of system notifications appeared.
A powerful force emerged within Esdeath's body.
"Indeed!"
It was as Esdeath expected; both Demon's Extract and High-Speed Regeneration had improved, and even Haoshoku Haki had improved!
A mysterious feeling appeared in Esdeath's perception.
Everything within a thousand meters was seen by her; nothing could escape her perception.
A force surged from within Esdeath's body, wrapping around her like an invisible armor.
"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for learning Observation Haki (Intermediate)!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for learning Armament Haki (Intermediate)!"
Two more system notifications sounded, as if everything was happening naturally.
Zanpakuto enhanced her soul power, and Sage Body enhanced her physical strength, giving rise to Observation Haki and Armament Haki!
"This butterfly effect!"
Esdeath couldn't help but be glad that she had settled down for half a year; otherwise, the increase might not have been so great!
It's no exaggeration to say that if Kuma were to appear before her again, Esdeath was confident she could defeat him, or even kill him!
Now, Esdeath's strength had at least reached the level of a quasi-Admiral, there was no doubt about that!
"Tina! Prepare a Marine warship, we're heading to Daughter Island!"
"Yes!"
