But there was no disappointment on Gion's face.

after all.

She just wanted to test the gap between herself and the strongest swordsman.

Defeat is inevitable.

only……

When he heard Linley's evaluation of him.

Furthermore, it was impossible to see the tone of voice he used when he said this.

Unconsciously, Gion's earlobes began to blush.

If Lin Lei could see her expression at this moment.

You will notice.

A hint of shyness flashed across her lively eyes.

"With your swordsmanship, you will soon become a great swordsman!"

Linley slowly sheathed his sword and praised:

"Give you some more time, and I'm afraid you will have a place in the top five great swordsmen!"

"I go……"

Doflamingo was shocked.

Fortunately.

He hadn't offended Gion too much.

Otherwise, the crane alone would be enough for him to handle.

If he were to be recognized by one of the top five swordsmen in the world in the future.

How can we live like that?

"Mr. Lin Lei, thank you for your recognition!"

Gion turned quickly and bowed ninety degrees toward Linley.

"You're welcome."

Linley nodded slightly.

But suddenly.

There was a flash of embarrassment in his eyes.

because……

The moment of bowing in Gion.

His eyes involuntarily swept over the snow-white justice that was exposed somewhere.

Very flashy.

Very shaking.

Although he didn't do it intentionally.

But I still feel somewhat guilty.

"Cough cough..."

Linley coughed twice and walked towards Smoothie and Beckman.

"It's getting late, it's time to set off!"

"Ok?"

Gion saw Lin Lei was so impatient to leave.

He frowned in confusion.

I don't understand why she is so impatient after just bowing.

until……

She lowered her head.

Her cheeks instantly turned red.

"turn out to be……"

“Mr. Lin Lei was afraid that I would notice that I was exposed and wanted to avoid embarrassing myself, so he changed the subject.”

She suddenly felt that the world's strongest swordsman was so gentle and considerate!

Crane, who was in the distance, looked at Gion and seemed to be getting along well with the others.

I can only hold my forehead and sigh helplessly.

Anyway, this isn't the first time this has happened.

She's used to it.

For example, Garp and Roger.

Don’t think that Garp was chasing Roger all over the world.

I really want to have a chance to drink together.

I guess he drank more happily than anyone else.

……

So, Gion followed Crane away contentedly.

As for Doflamingo?

What it is?

She has forgotten.

It’s not that he really forgot, but when he landed on the island, He clearly set the tone for this operation.

Don't create too much conflict.

If something can't be done, just let it go.

And He obviously had no intention of continuing to pester her.

Now she just wanted to get back to the Navy Headquarters as soon as possible.

Discuss with Marshal Kong, Sengoku and others how to deal with the spread of the Beasts Pirates' power in the future.

"Transfer qun: wine 掕°■si〕: 粑°▲私*』⑵~>咎'0○罩祗园... I believe that you are clear about your position."

"But I still have to remind you."

"Although that guy is the world's number one swordsman and your target, but..."

"He's a pirate after all!"

"And he came from the brutal Beasts Pirates!"

"And the girl next to him, if I'm not mistaken, should be a child of the Charlotte family."

"As a marine, you can't get too close to them!"

"I know... Sister He, I know what's going on."

Gion nodded.

But, you can tell from her expression.

That is, he agreed with what He said, but not completely.

She was of course aware that the navy and pirates were irreconcilable.

But who says we can't be friends with each other?

after all……

Not all pirates are bad guys.

Not all sailors are good people.

The reason why she stayed in the navy was just to uphold her own justice!

As long as Linley doesn’t do anything that harms the world.

She had no reason to be his enemy.

of course……

If Lin Lei were ever found to have done something unforgivable.

I will never show mercy!

But she hoped that day would not come...

"..."

Kakuto is over fifty years old. As a naval chief of staff, he has seen a lot in his life and has a good understanding of people's hearts. How could he not see what Gion is thinking?

But what can she say?

I could only sigh silently.

……

……

On the other side, Linley gave Doflamingo some instructions.

After being asked to do everything possible to find out the whereabouts of Red Hair and Hawkeye.

He left with Beckman and Smoothie.

The three of them walked side by side on the street.

Getting closer and closer to the shore.

It was obvious that Linley and Beckman were having a very pleasant conversation at this time.

But it seems that there is always a feeling that the words are on the tip of my tongue but I swallow them back.

Both of them are like this.

Finally they reached Linley's boat.

Just when Beckman thought Linley was going to say goodbye to him...

"Beckman."

"Ok?"

Seeing Linley’s serious expression, Beckman straightened his back unconsciously and took the cigarette out of his mouth.

"What is your ideal?"

"My ideal?"

This question obviously took Beckman by surprise.

He didn't seem to have really thought about this problem.

I couldn't help but think deeply.

After a long while, he spoke with an uncertain tone:

"Sailing freely on this sea?"

Say so.

In fact, even he couldn't be sure.

"is it?"

Linley nodded slightly.

After thinking about it, I felt that I was leaving soon. Although I was not sure, I still had to give it a try, so I said:
