Pirates: Trainer on the Straw Hat Ship.

Chapter 267: Scoring twice! Celestial Dragons, in danger!

"Blackbeard!? A dual-fruit ability user!?"

In the residential area of ​​New Marinford, Aokiji, who was lying in his own manor, slightly stopped his lazy posture and looked at the information handed over by the messenger and Akainu's command with some curiosity.

Because he played no role in the operation to encircle and suppress Ace and prevent the live broadcast of the execution, and was even mocked by the other party and then fled...

As a result, Aokiji's reputation dropped drastically during that period, both in the World Government and in the eyes of the navy's grassroots and neutrals.

Under the influence of these factors, Aokiji's desire to compete for that position became less intense than before.

This is also the reason why he did not leave the navy directly after the battle as in the original timeline.

"A move together with Mr. Garp..."

Aokiji, whose mood had not yet stabilized and who did not want to return to work so soon, suddenly had a flash in his eyes after seeing his colleagues above the command document.

And his thoughts couldn't help but drift far away, recalling the time when he had just graduated from the Naval Academy and followed Garp.

Although it was not a very pleasant experience, under the filter of memories, Aokiji's heart couldn't help but waver.

Because when I was following behind Garp at that time, I wouldn't feel as confused about the future as I do now.

The next moment, he slowly stood up from the sun lounger.

"After lying down for so long, it's time to move around."

perhaps……

You can also ask Mr. Karp about the future.

……

……

A few hours later.

A fleet of 20 large naval warships slowly surrounded Nine Snake Island.

"Ice Age!!!"

A chilling whisper echoed in the quiet windless zone.

In an instant, a biting cold suddenly descended upon the entire Amazon Kingdom of Nine Snake Island.

The calm sea surface instantly condensed into a thick layer of ice under the cold temperature, and gradually expanded along the edge of the entire Nine Snake Island, eventually turning this sea area into a huge ice field.

After doing all this, Aokiji, who was better at physical skills than his fruit ability, slowly removed his hand from the ice on the sea, looked up at the Nine Snake Island shrouded in cold air in front of him, but couldn't help but frowned.

Although he did not have time to talk to Garp because he had to encircle the Nine Snake Island from different directions, Aokiji, as a soldier, immediately put on a serious expression during the mission.

With the defeat of Kizaru and Zephyr last time, the undefeated legend of the Navy Admirals has been completely ended.

In addition, Blackbeard's whereabouts and behavior are so strange that people have to be careful and cautious.

What Aokiji didn't expect was...

Just as he gave the order for the navy to be on high alert, a rustling sound came from the lush forest of Nine Snake Island. !
Then, several figures wearing tattered combat uniforms and looking slightly tired suddenly appeared from behind the green screen.

"navy!?"

Maybe women are born actors.

Being arranged to be the first to come into contact with the navy, Longdan instantly entered the state, then stepped forward directly and confronted Aokiji on the battleship, and showed an extremely disgusted expression as if he saw some disgusting insect.

"Get out!"

"This sea area belongs to the Amazon Lily Kingdom! Men are not welcome here!"

"Hmm!?" Aokiji on the battleship frowned slightly, feeling strange, and then said as usual:
"I am Admiral Aokiji Kuzan of the Marine Headquarters!"

"A few hours ago, our headquarters received a message from Hancock, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, asking for help, saying that Nine Snake Island was being attacked by pirates led by Blackbeard, and requested that our headquarters send troops to provide support!"

After saying this, Aokiji added softly, "Could it be that the request for help is fake..."

"Of course the help message is real!" Long Dan continued to show a disdainful expression, and then continued to shout:

"But you're too late!"

"Blackbeard and his forces have been repelled by our Lady Empress!"

"It only took a few hours. I'm surprised you Navy guys could do that!"

"If not..."

Longdan spoke frankly, expressing his ridicule of the navy's actions, but suddenly stopped talking at the last moment.

“Being repelled…?”

When Aokiji heard Longdan's answer, a look of doubt instantly appeared in his eyes.

After all, from the video information transmitted to the navy by Nine Snake Island at that time, Hancock was completely powerless in front of Blackbeard.

Just as Aokiji was puzzled, a blonde female warrior suddenly came to Longdan and whispered something in her ear.

Then Rindou was stunned for a moment, then slowly turned around and said to Aokiji:

"Navy! The Empress wants to speak to you alone!"

"Drive the boat to the uninhabited island next door. There is a temporary reception room there."

"The Empress will be here soon."

As he spoke, Longdan pointed to the distant sea and ordered Aokiji to leave.

Despite being treated so inexplicably, Aokiji's mood did not change much.

The fact that men are prohibited from entering Nine Snake Island is well known among the senior naval officials and is not a rare thing.

Now it is more important to investigate the matter of Blackbeard.

Aokiji nodded and agreed to Longdan's request.

Ten minutes later.

On an uninhabited island near Nine Snake Island, Aokiji and several navy vice admirals were sitting in a simple reception room.

On the other side is the Pirate Queen Hancock who is accompanied by Ryoudan and other members of the Nine Snake Pirates!

Messy long hair, beautiful face, tired eyes...

Coupled with Hancock's cool and elegant temperament that originally belonged to the queen and some of her own attributes...

At this moment, Hancock was like a fairy who had fallen into the mortal world and been tainted by the secular world. She went from being unattainable to being within reach and pitiful, yet she had to pretend to be indifferent.

Under the enchanting effect of the Sweet-Sweet Fruit, the vice admiral who had come to support Aokiji could no longer control himself after seeing Hancock's posture at this moment, and his eyes turned into a pair of peach-colored hearts.

After sitting down, Hancock did not give Aokiji any chance to remind his subordinates.

Relying on her beauty, she slammed the table and looked at the navy with an angry and accusing look.

"Navy, you are too late!"

"........."

Aokiji was embarrassed for a moment when he noticed the abnormality of his subordinates behind him, but under Hancock's direct gaze, he immediately displayed the composure and dignity that a navy admiral should have.

"Pirate Queen, you need to be clear..."

"The terms of the Shichibukai have always been that the navy deploys the Shichibukai, not the Shichibukai deploying the navy!"

"We don't have to be responsible for your safety!" "I think you should know that if the situation wasn't special this time, the Navy would have sent me here to provide support."

"So let's just skip the foreplay!"

"Tell me...what on earth happened!?"

A gloomy and cold aura suddenly emanated from Aokiji's body and instantly filled the entire reception hall.

Stimulated by the extremely cold air, the vice admiral of the navy who was originally fascinated by the power of the Hancock fruit immediately came to his senses.

When they realized what had happened, their faces darkened and they looked extremely ashamed.

Although there is no power of domineering domineering, the aura released by Aokiji is enough to intimidate more than 95% of the strong people in the world.

as predicted.

After feeling Aokiji's aura, Hancock's expression suddenly froze for a moment, and then her eyes slowly became gloomy.

She first glanced at Aokiji with ill intent, then said:

"I'm right, you guys are too late!"

"If you had come two... no! an hour earlier, you might have been able to stop Blackbeard!"

"Now... I think he should have crossed the Calm Belt and is heading towards the Delisi Kingdom in the South China Sea."

"The Kingdom of Delisi!?" Aokiji frowned and was about to continue asking.

But at this moment, a vice admiral following behind him suddenly looked frightened.

"Wait! The Kingdom of Delisi!?"

"Can you confirm the accuracy of this information!?"

The Vice Admiral quickly questioned Hancock.

But Hancock raised her eyebrows slightly, as if she was a little angry because of being questioned.

"Of course! He told me this himself when he invited me."

"It seems that this admiral is still unaware of what has happened in the Kingdom of Delisi recently!?"

"You might as well ask your subordinates first to see how big a mess you have made!"

"........."

Under Hancock's sarcastic tone, Aokiji immediately turned around and looked at the vice admiral who seemed to know something.

Facing Aokiji's gaze, the Vice Admiral hesitated for a moment, then lowered his head and said slowly:

"It's a Celestial Dragon!"

"Not long ago, the king of the Delisi Kingdom conducted a nationwide forced search in order to curry favor with Saint Topman Castro, a celestial dragon, and selected 100 top beauties to be given to Saint Castro as slaves."

"In order to reward King Delisi for all he has done, Saint Castro has decided to personally go to Delisi to welcome these 100 slaves as a reward to King Delisi."

"Although this incident has not been widely reported, it is no longer a secret within the Delisi Kingdom."

"Because in order to let Saint Castro see the most beautiful side of the Kingdom of Delisi, the king ordered that all the homeless and illegal residents in the entire kingdom be arrested and executed."

"According to the time, Saint Castro's frigate has almost arrived in the waters near the Kingdom of Delisi."

"What!? These bastards..."

Hearing this, Aokiji suddenly spoke and was about to curse, but stopped at the critical moment.

Having served as a senior naval official for so many years, this is not the first time he has seen such a thing.

This is part of the reason why he is confused.

"Now we're in big trouble!"

After calming down, Aokiji looked up at Hancock again.

At this moment, without Hancock's additional information, he knew that Blackbeard's target was the Celestial Dragons within the territory of the Delisi Kingdom!
The next second, Hancock gave him another answer that disappointed him:

"That's right! It's what you think!"

"Don't forget, Blackbeard is a traitor who escaped from the Whitebeard Pirates' ship!"

"Not long ago, Ace, a member of the Whitebeard Pirates, did something earth-shattering, causing his bounty to increase from 5 million berries to 19 billion berries..."

"Blackbeard said..."

"He can do what the Whitebeard Pirates can do, and he can also do what the Whitebeard Pirates can't do!"

"So next, he will hunt down the Celestial Dragons all over the world, record videos, and distribute them to the world."

"Although I don't know how many times he can succeed, I think no matter what, you marines who let the important criminals escape again will not be able to escape the accountability of the World Government, right?!"

Hancock raised the corner of her mouth slightly, as if mocking the incompetence of the opposing navy.

Although she was acting, Hancock was smiling from the bottom of her heart at this moment.

After all, what she told Aokiji was not false!

Because the current "Blackbeard" is indeed on his way to the Kingdom of Delisi, and he is indeed going to score a second goal against the Celestial Dragons who are visiting the Kingdom of Delisi...

Kidnapping, recording, and killing!

The only difference is that the ones acting with Blackbeard are not the members of the Blackbeard Pirates he recruited, but a group of people who have been made into powerful zombies...

Former member of the Black Lion Alliance!
……

……

At the same time, at the border between the South China Sea and the Calm Belt.

Under the towing of Lab, the huge three-masted terrifying sailing ship successfully broke away from the restrictions of the doldrums and headed towards the direction of the Kingdom of Delisi.

A surfing move is performed!
An unimaginably huge wave suddenly surged up, like a god standing tall, carrying the island and Labu forward.

"Ow~"

The joyful cry like a dragon's roar echoed throughout the world.

Having rejected Brook's suggestion to go with him, Lab, who was carrying out a mission alone for the first time, felt extremely happy at the moment.

Heart to heart.

Although Laboon and the Straw Hat Pirates do not have many opportunities to work together, Luffy, Red, and other members of the Straw Hat Pirates all sincerely regard Laboon as a partner on the same "ship".

They helped him find his lost companions who had been separated for decades, and gave him powerful powers...

Lab saw all these things and kept them in mind.

It has a childlike personality and doesn't think too much.

It only knows that the Straw Hat Pirates treat it well and are its second home.

Therefore, in order to make this home better, it must transform from a pet that can only follow the ship, into a sea overlord that can stand on its own!

This time, the mission was just to transport the island to the destination, and then return to the deep sea to prepare to meet the Merry...

But this is something that Lab is the only one who can do in the entire Straw Hat Pirates.

just now……

It's time to return the favor!!!
