The old man was very happy.

The Grand Line, on the blue sea——

“Ah, why do you always call at this time?”

Aokiji, who was riding a bicycle, had to stop and take out the Den Den Mushi in his arms to answer the call.

“Kuzan.”

The Den Den Mushi turned into a serious elder and called Aokiji by his name.

“Marshal Sengoku, what’s the matter?”

Aokiji said.

"According to the intelligence department, a frozen island suddenly appeared not far from the Long Chain Island, and there were signs of fighting."

"Did you do it?"

"Yes, I fought with the Straw Hat Boys there." Aokiji replied.

"Oh?" Sengoku seemed a little surprised.

"It seems that you let them go, right?"

At this time, Sengoku thought that Aokiji did not arrest the Straw Hat Boys for Garp's sake.

"I'm not sure I can catch them."

Aokiji slowly uttered a sentence, but the opposite Sengoku fell silent.

"Besides, it's different from what Kaji encountered."

"The Straw Hat Boys have already reached that level of combat power."

Aokiji did not wait for Sengoku to digest it, but continued to reveal the explosive news.

"Don't hang around in the park."

After a while, Sengoku's voice sounded again:

"I will send a warship to pick you up immediately. I need you to return to the headquarters as soon as possible to report the situation."

"Ah, it seems that it is not possible yet, Marshal Sengoku."

Aokiji's voice that made Sengoku crazy sounded again:

"I have another place to go."

Faced with Sengoku's order, Aokiji decisively chose to refuse.

The face of Den Den Mushi also became quite ugly.

"And--"

"You will know the information about the Straw Hat Boy soon."

"Those guys will soon make a big deal."

Click!

Before Sengoku replied, Aokiji hung up the Den Den Mushi.

Then, he took out a map from his pocket and looked at it carefully, muttering to himself:

"If they follow the magnetic guidance of that island, the next stop should be--"

"Seven Water City?"

"Ah, then it will be very close to the headquarters."

Aokiji rode his bicycle forward again, and a word drifted with it:

"Next, let's go there and take a look."

On the Merry, Sanji opened the door of his room

He looked up at the dazzling sunlight in the sky, and couldn't help but sighed:

"I feel like I have slept for a long time."

At this moment, an excited voice sounded from a distance:

"Sanji, you finally went out!"

Sanji looked in the direction of the voice, only to see Luffy rushing towards him with his eyes shining.

He was still shouting:

"Sanji, I'm hungry! I want to eat meat!!!"

This posture seemed to have been hungry for a long time.

This made Sanji's face turn pale again.

If he was hit by Luffy, he would have to lie down for a few days.

Fortunately, someone helped.

"Luffy, stop!!!"

Chopper transformed into an orc and stood in front of Sanji, stopping Luffy.

"Sanji is just fine, I still need to check him, you idiot!"

After a while, Chopper breathed a sigh of relief and said to Sanji and Luffy beside him:

"It's okay now. You can move freely next."

Hearing this, Sanji also smiled.

Before, Bai Ye suddenly teleported him, making his body, which had never been sick, extremely weak.

Although after diagnosis, he just exhausted his physical strength and took Bai Ye's pills.

But he still lay in the room for two whole days before he recovered.

"Sanji! I want..."

Luffy shouted again, but this time he was interrupted by Sanji before he finished speaking.

"Got it, I'll go cook."

"But I'll have to cook after I've made dessert for Nami-san and Robin-san."

"Huh?"

"Don't follow me, you idiot, the kitchen will make you eat nothing!!!"

...

Seeing Sanji and Luffy bickering as they left, Chopper heaved a sigh of relief.

After all, Sanji was the last person to get a good rest.

After that teleportation, Byakuya just felt a little weak in the legs, but Luffy was fine after a good sleep.

Even Zoro recovered after a long day of sleep.

Sanji lay down for two days, which made Chopper very nervous.

Now it seems that it is really like what Bai Ye said:

[It is not a big problem, it is just kidney deficiency. 】

"It seems that I still have a lot to learn."

While speaking, Chopper looked up in the direction of the observation room.

There were two people standing side by side there.

It was Bai Ye and Zoro.

Because Zoro had to rest before, the "culprit" Bai Ye took over his job.

At this time, it was also the first time that the two officially handed over their shifts.

However, Zoro seemed to have something to say to Bai Ye.

"That Aokiji didn't use his full strength."

Zoro said.

Bai Ye was not surprised to hear this.

Whether it was from the feeling of that battle or the meaning behind what Aokiji said after the battle.

It all shows this point.

So Bai Ye nodded and replied:

"That's right. He is the one who has the ability of the natural ice fruit. It took him countless years to develop the fruit."

"That doesn't even include the top-level two-color domineering and excellent naval physical skills. How could he only have that little ability?"

Hearing Bai Ye's answer, Zoro nodded and stopped talking. It seemed that he had expected it, but after getting the accurate answer, he seemed a little disappointed.

"Don't underestimate yourself."

Seeing Zoro's expression, Bai Ye couldn't help but say:

"You are only 19 years old. There are very few people of the same age who have your strength."

"It's good to have a goal, but you have to know that Aokiji is already the guy standing at the top of this sea."

"He is 47 years old this year, and has 28 more years of training time than you."

"Moreover, he was trained by the navy with huge resources and time."

Bai Ye felt a little regretful at this time. He was afraid that because he revealed the world's top combat power to Zoro too early, Zoro would begin to doubt himself.

This made him a little dry in the mouth.

"So..."

"I once made a vow to a very important girl."

However, before Bai Ye finished speaking, Zoro interrupted him and told his own story.

"That was a vow that I had to fulfill even if it cost me my life!"

Zoro looked forward, but his eyes were a little blurred.

At this moment, a forest seemed to appear in front of him.

In a clearing in the forest.

There was a little boy with green hair and a girl with short hair standing opposite each other.

The little boy held a wooden sword, and tears burst out of his eyes.

He shouted loudly——
