The tavern owner seemed to be in a dream.
Outside the pub.
The old boatman with very good ears seemed to have "heard" everything that happened in the tavern. Like the tavern owner, he also had a look of shock on his face.
"The vacant position of the Four Emperors... seems to be coming to an end soon."
The old boatman murmured to himself in a low voice, his tone full of wonder.
"I didn't expect that after living for most of my life, I would still have the opportunity to repair ships for such a group of incredible guys. Are you planning to let me live a few more years? Oh haha..."
After saying this, the old boatman cheered up and started repairing the ship.
A week passed.
The repair work of the Hades is coming to an end.
During the break of the old boatman, Maude and Lafayette came to the port together and inspected the most damaged parts of the Hades.
After some inspection, I saw only some traces of repairs.
"Not bad, that old man..."
Maude was a little surprised by the old boatman's ship repair skills.
If the other party hadn't looked as old as half-stepping into the coffin, maybe Maud would have invited the other party on board.
"Hoho, it's really awesome."
The rough repair results made Lafayette so happy that he kicked the deck a few times.
"By the way, Lafayette, did the old man say when it will be completely repaired?"
"Two days at the earliest."
"That's soon."
Maude nodded.
At this moment, a ball of ice crystal floated onto the deck.
In less than two or three seconds, Bingling transformed into a blue pheasant.
Aokiji put his hands in his pockets and looked up at the sails that had been repaired by Jim and repainted with the pirate flag on the main mast.
"It's been so many days, aren't you going to ask me something?"
"You will tell me if I ask?"
Maude glanced at the blue pheasant beside her.
"Ah la la." Qing Zhi raised his finger to scratch his cheek out of habit, and pointedly said: "I am now one of your subordinates."
"Okay, since you said that, if I don't ask something, wouldn't it look like I'm heartless?"
Maude looked back and looked at the skull flag on the sail.
"So, you, Kuzan, are you a 'mine' or a 'spy' specially released by the Navy Headquarters?"
"Hey, hey."
A few drops of sweat appeared on Qingzhi's forehead, he spread his hands and said helplessly: "Does this kind of question still need to be answered? It's definitely not the case..."
As he said this, Qingzhi put his hands back into his trouser pockets, and his tone rarely became serious.
"I have never... thought that what the World Government does is completely right, nor do I think that what I want to do can only be done by sitting in that 'position'."
"So there is no doubt that before the Navy's 'reform' began, I did indeed 'leave' the Navy... However, I will not be any different because of the change in 'identity' and 'position'."
This is Aokiji's first statement after joining the Mod Pirates.
Maude took another look at the blue pheasant and said, "Why do I hear it? It's a bit prickly?"
"Ah la la..."
Qing Zhi slowly tilted his head, looked at Maud, and said, "If it were you, I would not be disappointed."
"I see, this is considered a 'restriction', right?"
Maud finally understood and said calmly:
"But it doesn't matter. Just this way, I can get a top combat power. It's obvious that I earned it, but... I told you when we were in the tavern that day, pirates should live as they please."
"So, I will not go against my heart and do something I don't want to do just because I have to consider the loss of a top combat power."
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Mod also directly expressed his attitude.
He asked Qing Pheasant to join because of the value of Qing Pheasant's combat power, rather than to provide an unsociable boss in the team.
"Ah la la."
Qing Pheasant was thoughtful, and then said seriously: "Can you tell me... the next itinerary?"
"We're going to Dressrosa. Besides, you don't need to be so outspoken."
As if the topic had been brought to an end, Maude smiled and did not hide it from Qing Pheasant.
"Dressrosa..."
The eyes under Aoki's sunglasses flashed slightly, and he immediately thought of Mod's motive for going to Dressrosa, which was obviously to eliminate the root cause.
This is an opportunity.
Thinking about Dressrosa's national conditions, Aoki pheasant muttered to himself.
suddenly.
A large shadow appeared without warning, and in a few blinks, it completely enveloped this small, stunted island.
The shadow came very suddenly, causing commotions to be heard from the other side of the town.
The blue pheasant raised its head and looked at the sky.
A huge island ship is floating quietly above the island.
The source of the shadow is that the island ship blocked the sun...
"The terrifying barque..."
Just by looking at the bottom of the island boat, Qingzhi immediately recognized the origin of the island boat.
Maude and Lafayette also looked at the terrifying three-masted ship suspended above the island.
"It's finally here."
“Hoo ho…”
Under their gaze, a tall and slender figure slowly floated down from the edge of the terrifying three-masted ship.
This figure is none other than Jia Ya.
"Um?"
Jia Ya saw the presence of Qing Pheasant from a distance, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she quickly accelerated her descent, landing next to Mod as quickly as possible.
She did not ask out loud, but opened her amber eyes slightly and looked at Maud beside her with questioning eyes.
"Sister Ya, let me meet you. This is Kuzan, the new crew member."
“…”
Jaya suddenly looked surprised.
Two days later.
The repair work of the Hades is completed.
Before leaving, Maud paid the old boatman a large sum of money.
Later, under the watchful eye of the old boatman, Jaya used her power to control the Hades to float into the air and fly towards the terrifying three-masted ship hanging over the island.
The Hades took off on the wind.
Qing Zhi stood at the edge of the deck, watching the sea getting further and further away, and couldn't help but feel a strange feeling in his heart that he couldn't explain.
Speaking of which, this is his first time sailing as a pirate...
When the Hades boarded the terrifying three-masted ship, a few minutes passed, and there were waves of panicked sounds on the terrifying three-masted ship.
"Oh my God, Admiral Aokiji is attacking!!!"
"Throw away the shovel and hammer and put on weapons!!!"
"Hey, where are my weapons? Why do I only have a shovel?"
"Isn't the weapon just hanging on your back? You've only been shoveling dirt for a few days, and you still shovel someone who has lost your memory? You don't even know where to put the weapon?"
“…”
The arrival of Aokiji almost scared the piss out of the pirates who were doing hard work.
After a moment of confusion, he finally regained his composure.
"The former navy admiral Aokiji actually became our companion?!"
"The bear couldn't believe it!"
After learning that Aokiji was already a member of the Mod Pirates, many of the crew members who stayed on the terrifying three-masted ship were still full of disbelief.
This scene is really amazing!
Putting aside uneasiness and other emotions, the joining of the top combat forces of the former navy is simply an extremely exciting and aspirational fact!
Only a certain man who joined the Mord Pirates at almost the same time as Aokiji secretly mustered up his fighting spirit while feeling great pressure.
A few days later.
Reports that former Navy Admiral Aokiji joined the Mod Pirates spread throughout the world in a short period of time.
Cavendish, who has often made headlines in recent days, was kicked out by Moder again before he could hold on to his position.
I thought that the fact that Morde killed the Celestial Dragon and faced Kaido and Kaido at the same time was shocking enough.
What I never expected was that just as the popularity of these major events was just rising, Maude made another shocking news!
The world was once again shaken by Maud!
Chapter 191 Only three lieutenant generals came, I am very dissatisfied...
A new world, somewhere in the sea.
Three large warships cut through the waves on the sea.
A muscular man stood at the bow of one of the warships.
The man wore a hat, a beard on his chin, a cigar in his mouth, and his eyes narrowed to slits.
"How long will it take to reach the G5 branch?"
The man opened his eyes slightly and looked at the adjutant beside him.
"It will take about an hour, Lieutenant General Huoshaoshan!"
The adjutant straightened up and quickly answered the man's question.
Hearing this, Huo Shaoshan nodded towards the adjutant.
"G5 branch, Vergo..."
Looking at the calm sea ahead, Huo Shaoshan raised his head and blew out a puff of white smoke. Vergo's appearance flashed through his mind, and correspondingly, there was information about Vergo's abilities.
"I'm proficient in the Six-Style Taijutsu, and can easily cover my whole body with armaments. Now I've eaten the Zhenzhen Fruit..."
Huo Shaoshan felt a little solemn and turned his head to look at the warship sailing on the sea on the left. He could barely see another lieutenant general of the same level as himself.
A total of three lieutenant generals from the headquarters were dispatched for this mission to the G5 branch.
The mission content is just one line: arrest Vergo.
... ... ... ... ..
New World, G5 branch.
On the flat terrain, a solemn and solemn base stands quietly.
The room located at the highest point of the base is the office of base director Vergo.
In the office, on the tiled floor near the window, there is a rectangular dining table covered with white napkins.
