"We shouldn't be late." Nagase pulled out the Flying Thunder God Kunai that was stuck on the deck, turned around and said with a smile.
"No, you arrived earlier than the agreed time." Long said, and couldn't help but observe Yongze carefully.
At this moment, Nagase was wearing the navy's coat of justice and looked like a navy man.
Then look at Nagase's clone next to him, he's wearing casual clothes but looks exactly the same as the one wearing the Navy Justice Coat.
Seeing two identical people in front of him, wearing different clothes, Long suddenly wondered if they were identical twins.
Of course, this idea soon disappeared, because the shadow clone Yongze turned into a ball of white mist and disappeared in front of Long. Now there is only one Yongze on the boat.
"Let me introduce myself again. I am Fujiwara no Nagasawa, the current admiral of the navy. I am also the advisor of the Revolutionary Army, Tobirama Senju." Nagasawa extended his hand to Long in a friendly manner.
Long smiled and stretched out his hand to shake hands with Yongze.
"Monkey D. Dragon, leader of the Revolutionary Army, I finally get to see your true self, Comrade Nagasawa." Dragon introduced himself again, just like Nagasawa.
"Yes, Consultant Nagase's ability to clone himself is truly incredible. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, even I would find it hard to believe that such an ability exists in the world." Sabo said.
If it was just a clone, it would be fine, but the key is that the combat power displayed by Nagase's clone is too strong. The clone can kill the Celestial Dragons and leave calmly, which is very terrifying. Coupled with the strength of Nagase's original body, the value of Nagase's martial arts alone is very great.
Yongze smiled and grabbed Long's hands with both hands, as if he was also very excited.
"I am so happy that my main body can join you. The Revolutionary Army is the only hope for this world."
Nagaze held his hand tightly again like the first time they met, but Long could understand, after all, last time it was a clone, this time it was the real person.
Long held Yongze's hand with his other hand and said sincerely:
"With revolutionary comrades like you, Comrade Nagase, joining us, I believe that our revolutionary army will have a smoother road ahead, and will eventually overthrow the World Government and liberate the oppressed people."
"This is exactly what I want to do." After half a minute, Nagaze withdrew his hand unnoticeably and said with a smile.
He's not that kind of person, so of course he can't hold it for too long.
"Advisor Nagase, this time you came out in your true form and met us at a place like this near the island where Hawkeye is. Will the navy be suspicious of you?" Kerla was a little worried about Nagase.
Although the general is not without freedom, it is somewhat of a problem for him to find Hawkeye.
The reason why Nagase chose this place as the meeting place was, firstly, he wanted to fight Hawkeye and make a small deal with him, and secondly, he thought this place was more secretive.
After all, Hawkeye is the world's greatest swordsman and one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, so his reputation is still quite famous.
"Haha, don't worry. I'm here on vacation to have fun. I'm going to have a competition with Hawkeye. The navy can't control me, and there's a brigadier general following me to testify for me. I don't have to worry about being exposed." Nagase said with a big laugh.
"It's a good reason to spar with Hawkeye." Long noticed the knife on Nagase's waist, which was different from his clone.
In addition to the abilities displayed by his clone, Nagase may also be an extremely powerful swordsman.
It makes sense when you think about it. Nagase must have many powerful abilities, otherwise the admiral's abilities would be exactly the same as those of a wanted criminal. Do you think the World Government and the Navy are fools? The clones must use different abilities respectively.
"Yes, and we came to find Hawkeye to increase the strength of our revolutionary army." Nagase nodded and said.
"You revealed your identity to Hawkeye?" Long asked. He felt that Yongze was being too hasty and that he should pay more attention to keeping his identity confidential, as this was responsible for his own safety.
After all, Hawkeye is one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea and a long-established pirate. If you want him to join the Revolutionary Army, it will definitely not work just by saying a few words.
"Of course not. I just made a deal with him after defeating him. I taught him to become stronger, and then he came to help me at some point." Nagase said nonchalantly.
Yongze was calm, and Long Zheng was able to keep calm after being shocked for a moment, but it was difficult for others like Sabo and Kerla to remain calm.
Looking at Nagaze's calm expression, people who didn't know would have thought that he had just beaten up a street thug, but he was the world's greatest swordsman.
Sabo and Kerla looked at Nagase in surprise. They didn't expect that Nagase would defeat Hawkeye while planning to meet them in his original form.
"Did he agree?" Long asked in a deep voice.
If Hawkeye agrees, then Long needs to re-evaluate Nagase's real strength.
There is no doubt that Hawkeye has the strength of an admiral. It is hard to say who will win if an admiral really fights with Hawkeye.
And being able to beat Hawkeye so that he is willing to learn from his opponent how to become stronger is definitely not an ordinary defeat. It is only possible if Hawkeye is greatly frustrated, and it must be done with a sword, not with devil fruit ability or fists.
"Yeah." Yongze nodded affirmatively.
Long laughed, put his hand on Yongze's shoulder, and said seriously: "Yongze, you really gave me a big gift as soon as we met."
Both Nagase's ability to greatly frustrate Hawkeye and the opportunity for Hawkeye to help were great surprises for Long.
At that time, whether Hawkeye is asked to help restrain a general or do something else, such a powerful man will be of great help to the Revolutionary Army.
"It's all for the revolution." Nagaze smiled calmly.
"I seldom admit defeat to anyone, but I choose to be completely convinced by you, Counselor Nagaze." Sabo also sighed inwardly.
"Since the rear admiral is still here, let's discuss things quickly. Then, Nagase, you continue to leave your clone in the Revolutionary Army, and your real body should go back as soon as possible." Long thought for a while and said.
"It's okay. I have already created a shadow clone on the island in advance." Yongze explained. Tina is not someone who can be easily fooled. He will not leave any loopholes.
"It turns out that you can create more than one clone." Long noticed another hidden message in Yongze's words.
Nagaze smiled without saying anything, the shadow clone was still very useful.
Next, Nagase began to discuss some development issues of the revolutionary army and the next steps with Long.
"We must try to unite the forces that can be united. Next, I will go to Amazon Lily to see if I can convince the Pirate Queen to join our revolutionary army."
"The Amazon Lily Kingdom is also a non-member country. In the past, when technology was not well developed, it was difficult for the navy to reach it. But now with the seastone warships, it is not safe even in the doldrums. I think there is a great chance." Nagase expressed his opinion.
This time, Nagase had no selfish motives to reap the fruits. He really wanted to help the Revolutionary Army, and by the way, see how beautiful the so-called most beautiful woman in the world of pirates was.
First, the Empress has already fallen in love with Luffy, and it is impossible for her to let other men touch her. If they want to touch her, they can only use force.
Secondly, Nagase thought that this sweet fruit would be suitable for anyone to use over there.
Anyway, Nagase couldn't imagine Tsunade or Inuzuka Midori using flying kisses to attack. Although they both looked good, this style was not suitable.
Of course, Nagase is just narrow-minded. Who says only women can blow kisses and give fragrant kicks? Men can do it too. Maybe Orochimaru would be interested.
"Nagaze, your analysis is very good. The Amazon Lily Kingdom does have the possibility of joining us. It is a force worth fighting for." Long said after thinking for a while.
He thought about it carefully and felt that Nagase's analysis made sense.
"If only Luffy was a member of the Revolutionary Army, it would be easy to win over the Empress." Nagase said jokingly.
After all, Hancock is the Queen of Amazon Lily. Joining the Revolutionary Army means declaring war on the World Government. She can definitely stand with Luffy unconditionally, but she has to consider her own people.
"Counselor Nagasawa, you also know Luffy." Sabo asked curiously.
Before, Sabo lost his memory and forgot about Luffy and Ace, but after the end of the war, the overwhelming news stimulated Sabo to restore his memory.
Sabo, who has regained his memory, is glad that Ace was successfully rescued and not executed.
"There are a lot of big news about Straw Hat Luffy." Nagase said with a smile.
After saying everything he needed to say, Nagase left behind a shadow clone and then used Flying Thunder God to leave.
The dragon fruit has been picked. As for Robin from the Revolutionary Army Headquarters, he is not in a hurry. There will always be a chance. If there is no chance, then forget it. He has picked a lot of fruits now.
The more powerful ones are Kizaru's Pika Pika Fruit, Fujitora's Gravity Fruit, Sengoku's Human-Human Fruit·Mythical Beast·Great Buddha Form, then there's Tinabinz's, and the animal-type Husky.
There are still a lot more to be gained, so there is no need to hold on to just one or two.
The ones that Nagase has confirmed are relatively easy to pick up and have powerful functions are already a lot, and he may not be able to buy that many.
Nagase believes that the devil fruit will not be cheap and will definitely not be the same price as the Zanpakuto.
The reason why Zanpakutō is cheap is because it is sold shallowly. It depends on how hard you work on it. If you are not good enough, you will never be able to obtain Shikai Bankai in your entire life. It is just an ordinary sword, what use is it.
Devil fruits are different. Although it is said that the devil fruits depend on the person, some fruits can gain very strong power once eaten.
For example, if you eat an animal-type fruit, your ability to withstand attacks will increase dramatically, which is a real improvement.
After Nagase returned to the island, he quickly switched himself with his shadow clone, and no one noticed that they had seen two Nagases in one day.
Maybe it was because Hawkeye scolded her for cooking a few days ago, Perona baked some cookies by herself this afternoon. As soon as she finished, she carried the plate and floated to Hawkeye who was practicing outside with Nagase.
Perona put one hand on her waist and the other on a plate, and asked Hawkeye for credit with a look of self-praise: "I made cookies, do you want some?"
Hawkeye, who was practicing breathing techniques, glanced at Perona calmly and said two words: "I won't eat it."
After rejecting Perona's cookie, Hawkeye continued to practice his breathing technique seriously.
Perona's eyes widened as she looked at Hawkeye in disbelief. These were the cookies she had worked so hard to make, shouldn't she have knelt down on one knee and accepted them with the utmost gratitude? Why did he refuse and ignore them after just a glance
"If you don't want to eat it, then don't eat it. I'm eating it alone!" Perona puffed up her cheeks, stomped her feet angrily, then grabbed a biscuit and stuffed it into her mouth, staring at Hawkeye while eating.
Hawkeye, who was stared at by Perona, remained calm. He didn't pay attention to her gaze and continued to practice seriously.
On the other hand, Nagase next to him said with a smile: "Why don't you ask me if I want to eat?"
Perona turned her head away and said, "I don't want to give the cookies I worked so hard to make to the navy who bullied Moria-sama."
Yongze smiled and said, "But I wasn't the one who chased Moria, and I wasn't the one who gave the order. When he was being chased by the navy, I wasn't even a member of the navy."
"That won't work either. You're a navy now." Perona held the plate in her arms and looked at Nagaze cautiously, as if she was afraid that Nagaze would come and snatch her beloved cookies directly.
"How about this, I'll call the navy and ask them to cancel the pursuit of Moria, and then you give me a piece of the cookie and let me touch your head for thirty seconds, how about that?" Nagase said coaxingly.
"Really?" Perona was moved.
Although baking cookies is a little hard and being patted on the head by the navy is uncomfortable, these are trivial matters if it is for Moria's safety.
"In the navy, everyone knows that I, Fujiwara no Nagasawa, have the final say. After all, I am an admiral." Nagasawa patted his chest with confidence.
He just said that he was the one who kept his word, but he did not guarantee that the navy would agree to his proposal. Even if the navy agreed, he did not say that they would not pursue next time.
"Then you have to make the call in front of me," Perona said.
"No problem, but you have to pat my head first. You can eat the cookies later." Nagaze said with a smile.
"No, you have to contact the navy first." Perona disagreed.
"Forget it, it's just a whim. Maybe it's too late now, and Moria may have been caught." Nagase said with a smile.
Perona was anxious when Nagase said that. She walked up to Nagase with a puffed face, then looked away and said, "You only have 30 seconds. Hurry up and call me!"
Nagase smiled and put his hand on Perona's head, a happy smile on his face.
Hawkeye stopped practicing, looked at Yongze with a strange look, and then continued practicing.
After successfully picking up the fruit, Nagase immediately let go, then picked up the Den Den Mushi as promised and called the navy.
What Perona worried about did not happen. Moria was not caught by the navy. After all, he was not the navy's main target.
However, the Navy did not give Nagase a reply.
After listening to the conversation between Nagase and the navy, Perona suddenly realized that she had gained nothing except knowing that Moria was not caught.
"Liar!" Perona cried out that she had been cheated.
"Hahaha, after all, it's not my responsibility. They have their own difficulties too." Yongze scratched his head and laughed, indicating that he had tried his best.
"Or I can make something for you to eat, as a compensation." Yongze suggested.
"What would you do?" Perona asked curiously.
"Red bean dumplings, everyone who eats them says they are delicious." Nagaze said. After eating so many, he must have learned a little bit.
"Really?" Perona looked at Nagase with suspicion.
"real!"
