I only want to be a Shichibukai when I have Bengyu
Chapter 68 Fire Fist, Part 1
Seagull flags flapped in the wind.
The snow-white sails are painted with patterns of seagulls, the hull of the warship is dyed blue-green, and the rows of black muzzles demonstrate the powerful firepower, deterring all criminals on the sea, but even so, It still cannot stop the breeding of evil.
The Shampoo Islands are known as the "Island of Losers" and "Island of New Departures". This tree island without a magnetic field is obviously close to the Navy Headquarters, but it is also the largest concentration of pirates in this huge paradise. It welcomes the young tigers who want to challenge the new world, and accommodates the losers who have retreated from the new world.
There are pirates, robbers, slave traders, drug dealers...there are countless criminals of all kinds on this island.
"Major Tina, why doesn't the Navy send an admiral to be stationed in the Shampoo Islands?" In the bridge of the warship, Elus sat on the sofa with a cup of steaming coffee milk, sipping it and sipping it. While sipping coffee and milk, he chatted with the major officer sitting opposite.
"If there is a general who is stationed in the Shampoo Islands, I think no matter how many pirates come in, they will just fall into the trap. Without these pirates from all over the world and paradise, the new world may not turn into the disaster it is today... ····Do you have any concerns?”
Hearing this question, Tina's face looked a little ugly.
Send a general to the Chambord Islands to wait and catch the pirates.
The idea is naturally good,
Similar issues are raised by newly promoted young officers every year, and even Tina has submitted a proposal with her signature. Unfortunately, no matter how enthusiastic the young officers at the Navy Headquarters are, they still cannot change the fact that the Navy is only the world's only The fact that it is one of the three armies under the government.
navy,
There is no way to directly disobey the orders from the World Government, from Holy Land Marie Joa.
"The admiral is not allowed to be permanently stationed in the Shampoo Islands. This is an order from the Holy Land." Tina said coldly.
"Why?"
Eleus's eyes widened.
Did he really not understand why he couldn't do this?
"The Chambord Islands... are a playground for the world's nobles. The presence of the admiral will make the Chambord Islands... boring." Tina gritted her teeth and explained with difficulty.
"······"
Eleus was silent for a moment.
Such a reason——
It was too natural, and it made him not know what to say.
There are too many gray illegal areas on the Chambord Islands. If a naval admiral were stationed here, no matter who he was, he would not let such illegal areas exist under his nose, such as "Human Trafficking Shop" and "Human Trafficking Shop". "Auction" and other places are the favorite places for people in Tianlong to play.
so,
In order to 'protect' the large amusement park of the world's nobles, the Chambord Islands prohibit the permanent residence of naval admirals and lieutenants. Only one major general is allowed to be stationed on the island to maintain order and security on the island.
What's even more unreasonable is that in case the Tianlong people encounter danger on the Chambord Islands, the Navy Headquarters must send generals to the island as quickly as possible to support them. To be honest, they must maintain the rule that at least one general is stationed at the headquarters, Marineland. Initially, It was enacted and implemented to protect the Celestial Dragons visiting the Shampoo Islands, not to maintain the tranquility of the Navy Headquarters.
"...It's not easy for you either!"
Elvus held it in for a long time and could only say this.
"The duty lies."
Tina replied firmly.
The incident at the Chambord Islands can be regarded as a scar for the navy, a scar that is still bleeding today. Just the major generals stationed at the Chambord Islands... I don’t know how many people have been replaced. Judging from the records, there are no Every executive who stayed until the end of his term resigned on his own initiative.
This place,
It is too easy to weaken the morale of the navy.
After staying here for a long time, I have seen a lot of the behavior of the Celestial Dragons. To be honest, sometimes the pirates have to admit that they are not as good at playing as the world's nobles, let alone the naval officers who firmly believe in justice in their hearts. Many of them have retreated from the Chambord Islands. The admirals who come down often choose to retire directly. They can no longer stick to the justice in their hearts.
"It's coming soon, Prince Eleus, please be prepared."
Tina looked out the window, stood up, and ended the unpleasant conversation.
Chambord Islands,
Already arrived.
This is Peninsula No. 63.
As I said before, the Shampoo Islands are islands of trees. Its foundation is not a rocky land, but 79 Yalch mangroves. The entire island is composed of these 79 Yalch mangroves (all numbered From No. 1 to No. 79), there are towns and facilities on every tree. People call the archipelago composed of 79 peninsulas the "Champaign Islands".
"Lieutenant General Doro."
Elus, who came to the deck, stretched out his hand to greet the burly Vice Admiral.
Lieutenant General Doro, who looked full of strength at first sight, was the main person in charge of this recruitment mission. As a faction in the navy that was close to the World Government, he was given the task of recruiting [Fire Fist] by the top leaders of the World Government.
"Prince Eleus."
After a dry response, the lieutenant general closed his mouth, giving the impression of being taciturn and not good at communicating.
In fact, this is indeed the case,
The two met in the office of the Warring States Marshal and came to the Chambord Islands together.
However, the two of them had no communication except for a few words when they boarded the ship. Elus sat on the bridge and chatted with Major Tina, while the vice-admiral stayed at the bow of the ship the entire time. on deck.
"Lieutenant General Doluo, where is the target now?"
Since Lieutenant General Doro didn't say much, Eleus had no choice but to take the initiative to ask.
"Peninsula 26."
Lieutenant General Doro, who was walking down the gangway, looked back at Elvus and responded dully: "Fire Fist is wandering around the slums of Peninsula No. 26."
"Peninsula 26?"
Eleus recalled the map of the Shampoo Islands he had seen.
The distance between Peninsula 26 and Peninsula 63 is not very close, and you need to cross more than ten peninsulas to reach them.
"Don't worry, my subordinates are tracking Fire Fist. She will report any changes at any time. Don't worry about Fire Fist running away." Lieutenant General Doluo talked more. After setting foot on the land of Shampoo Islands, this man seemed like a wooden man. The same lieutenant general suddenly became more energetic and... murderous?
"Killing intent? This is not the attitude of seeking peace..."
Since Wulaoxing gave him the task of correcting omissions, theoretically speaking, Lieutenant General Doluo should not be allowed to take on unnecessary tasks? Obviously I haven't even seen Fire Fist in person, so why is there such a strong murderous intention... It's a bit strange!
But even though he noticed something was wrong with Lieutenant General Doro, Elus still just watched with cold eyes. He was just here to help out and get to know the son of the Pirate King on the way. He didn't care what Lieutenant General Doro was going to do, and he was busy. Wouldn’t it be better to watch?
"Are there just a few of us?"
The only people who disembarked from the ship were Lieutenant General Doro, Major Tina, and Elus, the newly promoted King Shichibukai.
"Fire Fist is a natural ability user. It's useless if there are too many people. If there are fewer people, we will move faster." Lieutenant General Doluo said, "And one of my subordinates is tracking Fire Fist. She will join us."
"All right!"
Eleus shrugged indifferently.
but,
He did not walk like Lieutenant General Doro and Major Tina.
Instead, he spent 500 beli to rent a local specialty 'bubble car' and rode fast, following closely behind Lieutenant General Doro.
————
Peninsula 26.
This is a very ordinary peninsula among the 79 peninsulas in the Chambord Islands. There is nothing special about it. There are only a few civilian streets and some restaurants and shops. If you ask what the characteristics are, there are indeed many peninsulas here. thing.
There is a big slum here.
It houses the elderly with no one to support them, homeless children, disabled people without a sound workforce, and other unlucky people who end up here for various reasons.
"Ah!! The feeling here...is a bit like the Uncertainty Terminal!"
The man holding several boxes of the local specialty snack ‘Great Senbei’ was consuming the senbei in his arms at an alarming speed while looking left and right at the surrounding environment.
"Uncertainty Terminal? Where is that place? Is it the same as the station of the Sea Train of the Seven Islands of Water?"
asked the man wearing a mask similar to one used in a masquerade party.
"How is that possible? The Uncertainty Terminal is a huge garbage dump in my hometown."
"If it's a garbage dump, give it a good name! Uncertain Object Terminal... With such a strange name, who would have thought it could be a garbage dump?"
"Anyway, everyone calls it that. If you ask me, I don't know...ah! I'm hungry. Hey, Deus, is there a place selling great senbei around here? Well, there is a great bag too. OK!"
Obviously still holding several boxes in his hands, the man wearing an orange cowboy hat began to look around again for a store or something.
But this is a slum, not to mention shops, not even an intact house can be seen. There are only garbage everywhere, gloomy alleys, malicious sights from the broken houses, and... ····A group of little carrot heads hiding in the corner of the alley, looking longingly at the great senbei in the man's hand.
Probably the orphans living here!
He stretched out his hand,
He moved lightly towards the little carrot heads, as if he was worried that using too much force would scare these overly sensitive and slender children.
These children came over timidly. They had already honed the ability to distinguish between good and evil in this harsh environment. Their intuition told them that the man in front of them was not the kind of villain who took pleasure in bullying the weak. They took the hand from the man. Great senbei.
Smiles appeared on the children's faces.
They bowed carefully to the man, then ran away with the senbei in their arms. They didn't run too far, and stopped at the corner of the alley. They called out a few smaller children from the corner, more than ten children. The guy ate all the great senbei on the spot, even the leftovers in the box.
"Is it okay? Ace."
The man wearing the mask was Deus, the ship's doctor of the Spade Pirates. He looked at his smiling captain.
I just complained that I was hungry, but in the next second I gave away all the remaining senbei.
"Well, I feel...actually it's almost the same."
correct,
This man wearing an orange cowboy hat, a red bead necklace hanging around his neck, and a pair of black shorts is the recently famous pirate star, Portkas, who is also known as [Fire Fist]. D. Ace.
At the same time, he also has a secret identity as the posthumous son of the Pirate King.
Ace reached out and touched his belly.
"Okay, it's almost time to go back..." Before he finished speaking, Ace stopped stretching and turned around to look at an alley on the other side. There were dense footsteps coming from the alley. , and soon the captain and ship's doctor saw familiar faces.
It was a very young female marine.
She has short orange-red shoulder-length hair, beautiful and lovely facial features, and a bandage on her face for some reason. There are terrible burn marks on her right hand, from the standard navy uniform to the coat with "Justice" written on the back. Judging from his appearance, he should be a lieutenant.
The school officials basically wear private clothes and a coat with "Justice" written on the back.
She is Iska, a female marine with the nickname "Nail Hand". She is an old enemy of the Spade Pirates. Not long after they entered the park, she has been chasing them and repeatedly declared that she would arrest Ai. Si, actually chased him all the way to the Chambord Islands.
"Why is it at this time..." Deus sighed in displeasure.
I thought Iska would appear when their pirate ship set off, but she didn't expect to show up now. It was really surprising.
"Huh? There are a lot of new faces today!"
Ace muttered.
Iska was not followed by the usual sailors. A burly man wearing a "Justice" coat stood beside her, and another was also very young, with long pink hair, wearing a rose-red professional suit, and a The admiral in the "Justice" coat looks like he has a higher military rank than Iska.
In addition,
There was also a young man with green eyes riding a bubble bike.
"...You are the Black Prince?!"
Deus pointed at Elus, and after a brief recollection, he remembered the name that had been reported in the newspapers in the past two days, "One of the Seven Seas of the King, [Black Prince] Socachio Ai Ervus...why are you here? Aren't you the prince of the Kingdom of Ecmundo in the New World? Why...why are you appearing in the Chambord Islands?"
As a ship doctor with an elite education who likes to write novels, Deuce is one of the few educated people in the Spade Pirates.
He and Michal took turns reading newspapers to their companions on the ship.
so,
He memorized the news in the newspaper with "top secret", "exclusive news", "first revelation" and other modifiers about Elus. Although he didn't know how many people filled it, some of the most basic personal information was Still real.
For example, the identity of this prince,
This is the focus of reports in various newspapers.
"Why?"
Elus was lying on the handlebar of the bubble car, looking at the two people who had already put on a defensive posture, and laughed, "Didn't you read the newspaper? I came to the Red Earth Continent for the sake of the reputation of King Shichibukai. ah!"
The answer felt so real that Deus didn't know how to proceed.
"Wait! We are here to negotiate today."
Seeing that Ace and Deus were ready to fight, Iska next to her finally couldn't hold back her excitement and said loudly.
"You should be happy, Fire Fist, this is a good thing for you and your companions!"
Iska's excitement was palpable. She stretched out her hand to introduce her superior standing next to her, "This is Vice Admiral Doro of the Navy Headquarters. He was my savior when I was a child."
"Second Lieutenant Iska, don't talk unnecessary nonsense."
Lieutenant General Doro gave a lesson to his overly excited subordinates. He stepped forward, took out a letter from his arms, and opened it directly in front of everyone, "Fire Fist Ace, this is for you." He said Then he sent the letter forward so that Ace and Deus on the opposite side could see it more clearly.
The above content is——
"Seven, seven, Shichibukai?"
Deus only felt dizzy.
He pinched his thigh hard, and the severe pain told him that what he was seeing was not a dream.
But this made him even more confused. His Majesty's Shichibukai... This is a group of monsters that can be called the three major forces along with the Navy and the Four Emperors on the Great Line. It can become His Majesty's. The Shichibukai need strong strength and high enough popularity, which means that Ace, who has received this invitation, is already a strong man recognized by the world government?
Speaking of which, there happened to be a member of the Oishi Shichibukai who was in the limelight right in front of me.
He instinctively glanced sideways at Elus riding the bubble car.
"How about it? Fire Fist, is this a good thing? In this case, even if you don't want to give up your identity as a pirate."
Iska looked cheerful.
Major Tina frowned as she watched, the navy actually acted so familiar with the pirates... This is really hard to watch! If Lieutenant General Doluo hadn't been here, she would have been able to reprimand him.
At this moment--
Ace, who had been silent for a while, finally spoke.
"I reject!"
"Eh!? Why, why?"
The excitement on Iska's face disappeared in an instant. She looked at Ace in shock, her brain seemed to be frozen, and she couldn't understand why she refused the invitation to become the King's Shichibukai.
"I'm sorry! I can't stand the system itself of the Shichibukai."
"How could...but, this..."
Iska's confused brain made it impossible for her to fully express her feelings in words.
"Hey, what you said is very hurtful! I have wasted a lot of effort just for the reputation of the King Shichibukai." Elus expressed his dissatisfaction cheerfully, but his eyes did not go away. Instead of looking at Ace across from him, he stared at the side face of Lieutenant General Doro, looking at the smile that suddenly appeared.
Actually, laughed?
This guy who looked like a wooden man actually laughed because Ace rejected the invitation to become the King's Shichibukai.
That is to say,
Didn't he want Ace to agree from the beginning?
The smile on Elvus's face also deepened a little. He was obviously a rare lieutenant general in the navy who directly defected to the Holy Land, but he was not of the same mind as the Holy Land. It was really interesting!
"What a coincidence!"
Lieutenant General Doluo laughed, and the happy laughter echoed around, "Fire Fist Ace, I have the same idea as you! Like you, I can't stand the so-called system of the Seven Martial Seas under the King. Can you It’s too good to refuse this invitation!”
He tore the letter out of his hand.
As soon as he tossed it, it was blown away by the breeze and floated around.
"I said, it hurts me very much that both of you are so critical of the system of King Shichibukai!"
Eleus protested again.
But it was obvious that Lieutenant General Doro, like Ace, did not intend to give any reply to Elus.
In his eyes,
At this moment, only the pirate standing opposite, [Fire Fist] Portcas D. Ace, was left.
He opened up the "Justice" coat, revealing the tube-shaped object tied to his arm. It looked a bit like a rocket launcher, with a black jet nozzle in the front, and a duct connected to the suspension in the back. There are two containers with considerable reserves at the waist.
"Fire Fist Ace, I was worried that I wouldn't have a chance to try this thing compared to the Burning Fruit... Fortunately, you didn't disappoint me! Damn pirate!!!"
Lieutenant General Doro's smile became extremely distorted.
There was no luster in his eyes, only the deepest violent murderous intention.
The next moment,
Fiery flames shoot out from the jet opening of the barrel.
This is--
Flamethrower.
It is one of the equipments developed by the Naval Science Corps. It is tied to the arm with a spray pipe. The container hanging from the waist connected to the pipe stores refined special fuel. The reserve inside is enough to make the flame spray for a long time. time.
The blazing flames rushed towards Ace and Deus with a burning momentum.
As a user with the ability to burn the Burning Fruit, Ace did not retreat or escape. Deus could not block such a fierce flame. He took a step forward, opened his hands, and his body also turned into a burning flame, resisting the attack. The coming flames.
but,
The result of this is that the fire spreads in all directions.
In less than a few seconds, the fire spread in this dilapidated slum. There were a lot of combustible garbage such as rotten wood, cardboard boxes, etc., but there were no fire-fighting facilities. There is no resistance to such a sudden fire.
It wasn't just Ace and Deus who were surrounded by fire.
Even the group of children before had their escape routes blocked by the spreading flames, and cries full of fear floated from the fire scene.
"Lieutenant General?"
Tina shouted.
She looked at the crazy-looking Lieutenant General Doluo, her eyes filled with extreme surprise and disbelief.
Unexpectedly, he used such weapons and equipment of mass destruction without any regard for the ordinary civilians around him... The flames of anger ignited in the major's heart, and she stepped forward, ready to stop this atrocity. Jiang, please stop, your behavior will hurt the children."
"Lieutenant General, what are you doing? The children will get hurt if this continues."
Iska also rushed forward, approaching Lieutenant General Doro, trying to persuade the Lieutenant General to stop.
But it's a pity,
Their efforts had no effect.
"Major Tina, Lieutenant Iska, what are you talking about? Children? We should destroy the pirates at this time, right? Only by executing these damn pirates can we prevent more children from suffering. Isn't it such a misfortune? If we let these pirates escape here, it would be a shame for our navy!"
Lieutenant General Doro shook his right hand, and the turning flame forced Major Tina, who was planning to use her ability, to step back. She has not yet mastered Armed Haki, and does not have the ability to withstand the flames with her bare hands. To be honest, her ability may not be able to block such a fire. Fierce flames.
the other side,
Major Iska was easily kicked away by Lieutenant General Doro.
scene,
Suddenly it became extremely chaotic.
"...Hate evil as much as hatred... No, this feeling... is pathological paranoia, is your mental state abnormal?"
Elus looked at the lively scene in front of him and suddenly realized what was going on with Lieutenant General Doro. This Lieutenant General had a mental problem at some point. It was probably because of his hatred for pirates. He gradually became as paranoid as he is now.
In order to destroy the pirates, he would do whatever it takes, and this was completely different from General Sakaski's justice.
For example, General Sakaski ordered the blowing up of the refugee ship full of O'Hara residents because he was worried that it contained archaeologists who might bring greater chaos to the world. In the world of peace and a group of Among the refugees, he chose the former without hesitation and abandoned the refugee ship.
And Lieutenant General Doro feels like he will bury a boatload of civilians in order to kill a pirate. He does not make any trade-offs at all, he just simply wants to hunt the pirates. For this reason, he even uses the flames to kill the pirates. He aimed at Tina, a fellow marine, and kicked his subordinates away.
"Is this what makes poor people hateful? Anyway, it's very shameless to attack a group of children!"
Elus appeared quietly in the fire scene, blocking in front of the group of children. He waved his hand to disperse the incoming flames. With a weak hold of his right hand, the bluish-white light condensed, and he clenched the moonlight sword tightly. In the palm of your hand.
Now that the sword has been drawn, the next thing to do is very simple.
Just swinging a sword.
then,
He swung the moonlight sword.
The sharp sword energy flew out and directly tore apart the encirclement of the sea of fire, opening up a smooth way out without any sparks. "You guys, get out of here! Run as far as you can, whoever runs slower will Don’t blame others if you die.”
Eleus pointed his moonlight sword at the road in front of him and blasted away the group of children who had little luck.
Then,
He turned around, looked at the raging fire around him, and narrowed his eyes.
"What should we do next?"
