General Lanlin of One Piece

Chapter 685 Sauron
Go back in time a little.

When Whitebeard triggered the power of the sea earthquake and set off a huge tsunami in the sea area of ​​​​Paradise, somewhere on the sea outside Marinevando.

Three three-masted sailing ships with double-decker guns and full of bounty hunters floated quietly on the sea, looking in the direction of Marine Fando from a distance, as if waiting for something.

There is a very conspicuous gold ship in the middle. Jonathan, who has orange skin and white hair and looks increasingly older, looks quite hale and hearty today, with a strange look in his cloudy eyes.

He was wearing an extremely old navy uniform, with a patched and yellowed cloak on his back. The two big words "Justice" on the cloak were almost washed out and blurred.

This military uniform was brought out by him when he left the Navy more than fifty years ago. It was the first military uniform he received after being promoted to Vice Admiral of the Navy Headquarters.

"Grandpa, can we really catch the pirates if we wait here? This place is so far away from the Marinevando battlefield, and the Whitebeard Pirates will only pass here when they are full. And I really don't think so at all. , we little shrimp bounty hunters are qualified to meet the strongest pirate group in the world. If we meet Whitebeard, you old bones will definitely be shocked to death on the spot."

Sera looked at her high-spirited grandfather and complained impatiently.

These people had been brought over from Spring Queen City by her grandfather, Jonathan, the president of the Bounty Hunter Guild, two days ago, saying they were waiting for the end of the war between the Navy Headquarters and the Whitebeard Pirates. Take advantage of the situation here and catch some of the defeated soldiers of the Whitebeard Pirates.

"What are you talking about? How can you talk to your grandpa if you're not big or small?"

Another strong man who claims to be the strongest in the world.

Thinking of this, Zoro continued to swing the heavy and huge barbell in his hand.

Serra glanced at the Warring States period shown on the screen, as well as the four tall figures lined up under the execution platform, and the dense crowd of white people in Aulis Square, but still said with a pinched neck: "Who knows. Whitebeard is known as the strongest man in the world, has the ability to destroy the world, and is the king of the sea on par with Roger the Pirate King."

"Are you so anxious to curse me to death so that your little lover can take over my position as president as soon as possible?"

You must practice harder!
"You're such an idiot. You're so exhausted that you don't even know how to rest." Looking at Zoro waving the barbell, Sera's lips wriggled and she uttered fragmentary thoughts that only she could hear clearly.

When Jonathan saw his granddaughter getting embarrassed, he stopped teasing her. Instead, he pointed at the image of Marine Vando projected on the ship and said with a smile, "You think the Whitebeard Pirates can be so successful on the scale of the Navy Headquarters?" Under siege, successfully achieved the goal, rescued people and returned to the new world smoothly?"

"Really? Then why do I always see you delivering food to Sauron?" Jonathan laughed strangely.

A narrow smile appeared on Jonathan's face, and he looked beyond Sierra to Zoro, who was on the deck behind her, swinging a huge barbell to exercise frantically.

There are countless people who are more powerful than myself now.

Jonathan blew his beard and stared, stretched out his hand and knocked on Sera's forehead. The pain made Sera scream in pain, and she squatted down while covering her head.

Sera noticed his gaze, blushed, spat, and glanced at the sweating Zoro with disgust, "Grandpa, what are you talking about? He...he is not my little lover. What! A stupid idiot who only knows how to exercise and sleep every day. What I like is a man with the style of Lieutenant General Rorschach, okay?"

Listening to Sera's story, Zoro felt as if a surge of pride was emerging from his chest.

Seeing Jonathan's grinning lips, she stamped her feet and said angrily: "Don't change the subject deliberately, okay? What I just talked about was the problem of the Whitebeard Pirates."

Not to mention the admiral and the Yonko of the New World who stand at the top of the world.

Zoro, who heard her voice, paused slightly while waving the barbell in his hand, and asked curiously: "The strongest man in the world? Is he stronger than Hawkeye?"

When will I be able to reach the top of the sea like the young man in the picture in front of me, and fight with Hawkeye and Whitebeard openly?

"What's wrong with sending...giving food? You said you wanted him to inherit the Bounty Hunter Guild! I gave him food just to let him have time to practice and become stronger quickly so that he can complete your decision It's just a goal." Sera played with the silver chain hanging on the hem of her clothes, feeling a little lacking in confidence.

"You need to say that? That's Whitebeard! Green algae head, do you understand what the three words Whitebeard stand for? Not to mention Whitebeard, just the great swordsman Foil Bista, Eagle Eye on his ship It will probably take a lot of time to defeat him. Moreover, the weapon in Whitebeard's hand is one of the twelve supreme sharp knives, just like Hawkeye's Black Blade."

The strong men on this sea are really like the crucian carp crossing the river.

The current self is still too weak.

Sera said with awe on her face.

Suddenly, the boat beneath everyone's feet began to bump violently.

"What's going on here?"

Sera looked out of the boat in confusion.

Then, her pupils dilated little by little, and she murmured absently: "Sea... tsunami? Are you kidding? Why did it suddenly..."

"No, it's Whitebeard's tsunami." Jonathan's face changed slightly, and he shouted in an old voice to remind the bounty hunters on the other two ships, "Everyone, find something and hold on tight. Don't be overturned by the tsunami and fall into it." In the sea! Steady the ship! We can survive this!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a larger tsunami wave crest quickly approached from a distance, lifting their three ships high, and carried them towards the sea away from Malinfando.

In this huge wave, Jonathan had no way to get the boat out, so he had to resign himself to fate and drift with the tide.

After they were driven by the tsunami and the huge waves and sailed at high speed for an hour or two, they finally thought that the tsunami had passed. When they were about to turn around and return to their original position, thousands of miles of sea outside the ship, there were a lot of bounty people. In the hunter's shocked eyes, the land suddenly turned into glaciers. "What is this?" Sera fell into Sauron's arms due to the violent jolt. At this moment, she couldn't care less about the shyness in her heart and looked at the silver-covered sea outside with a shocked face.

"It's Aokiji's frozen fruit ability. This frozen sea is his masterpiece. Have you seen it? This is the power of the world's top powerhouse."

Jonathan smiled and explained to everyone.

"Aoji? Admiral? It's really a terrifying power to be able to do this."

Zoro was a little cold, so he quickly went to the cabin to get some clothes and put them on.

Brook's voice came from another ship not far ahead, "Mr. Jonathan, our ship is frozen. How should we hunt the pirates of the Whitebeard Pirates now?"

After hearing this, Jonathan pondered for a while, waved his hand decisively and loudly said: "This ice surface will not melt in a short time, and it just provides us with a platform to fight. Everyone listen, grab your weapons and food , follow me, return to the sea outside Marinefando, and wait for the Whitebeard Pirates to be defeated and flee."

"Yes! President!"

Upon hearing this, the bounty hunters picked up their weapons and jumped off the boat, following Jonathan, Zoro, Sera, Hawkins, Brook and others. A group of more than a thousand people marched across the vast ice surface towards the direction of Marinford.

However, after everyone trudged along the smooth and cold ice for two hours, two hazy ships suddenly appeared in their sight.

From a distance, they seemed to be two large warships.

Brooke asked curiously: "Huh? Why are there warships here? Isn't the sea water over there frozen?"

"That side seems to be in the direction of Impel City, and the warship comes out of the windless sea area."

Hawkins frowned slightly and said softly.

For some reason, he always felt a little uneasy.

Sera was also surprised.

But among everyone, the one who reacted the most was Jonathan, the leading president.

Zoro only saw his old face covered with orange peel, and the smile he had maintained before disappeared in an instant.

Immediately afterwards, the sharp sword Shura inserted in his waist that originally belonged to Jonathan was pulled out by Jonathan with lightning speed, and together with the long sword wrapped around his waist, which was like a spine, The left one and the right one are held in the hands.

With both swords in his hands, Jonathan's whole aura suddenly changed, from a stooped and gloomy old man to a peerless swordsman with a sharp aura, as if he wanted to cut the ice in front of him. .

Not only that, but on his not-so-tall body, there were wisps of black ghostly energy that was constantly coming out, spreading and entwining around the double knives held in Jonathan's hands.

"Attention, everyone! Get ready for battle immediately! Zoro! Hawkins! Brooke! Sierra! Andre! Organize your formation!"

Jonathan's solemn voice rang in the ears of the bounty hunters, and everyone could hear the solemnity in his tone.

No one asked why. As soon as Jonathan finished speaking, Sera, Sauron and others quickly drew out their weapons and began to command the bounty hunters hurriedly. They were divided into five groups, each with about 200 people. Five of them Lead a team respectively and set up an offensive and defensive formation.

Jonathan, holding a pair of swords, stood at the front of the formation, looking at the two approaching warships with a solemn expression.

Only then did Sera have the opportunity to ask nervously, "Grandpa, what happened? Is the navy over there... the enemy?"

"No, that's not the Navy." Jonathan shook his head solemnly.

"Not the Navy?" The hunters were stunned.

"They are pirates, and they are a group of big pirates who have been imprisoned in Impel Down City for decades."

"what?"

Before Sera, Sauron and others could digest the astonishing amount of information contained in Jonathan's words, the two warships blocked by the ice in front stopped.

Then, Serra and others saw figures wearing black and white prison uniforms jumping from two warships and landing on the ice.

A series of malicious and ferocious glances were projected from the opposite side.

Before the fight even started, the cruel and violent aura of terror made the bounty hunters behind Jonathan so frightened that their calves were trembling.

"Huh? Who is this? His breath is so familiar. I can smell your stink from a distance. It turns out he is our old friend. The distinguished king of hunters, Your Excellency Akuma."
