The Grand Line, first half.
Naval Headquarters, Marineford.
The closed eyes slowly opened, and the dazzling sunlight made Ron feel in a trance... After sniffing the smell of disinfectant on the tip of his nose, Ron sat up and stretched.
"Sister Ai Yin, how long have I been asleep?"
Hearing this, Ai Yin, who was reading a book at the side, felt happy and looked up at him.
"You finally woke up Ron!"
"You've been in a coma for a week. Lieutenant General Smoker and the others brought you back yesterday and transferred you to the hospital."
Speaking of this, Ai Yin pouted in dissatisfaction and furrowed her beautiful brows.
"Can you please stop being so stupid next time! With this level of deprivation, an ordinary person would definitely die!!"
Ordinary people would have died of visceral failure or heart and lung rupture long before that due to a coma due to dehydration. Even with his immortality, Ron's experience scared others half to death.
Even Zefa, who had been avoiding him since Kapu's death, couldn't help but take a look to make sure he was still alive and okay before leaving with a straight face.
In response, Ron smiled bitterly and begged for mercy.
"Sorry, sorry, I will pay attention next time."
"Next time?!!"
"Uh... I promise not! Because..."
Speaking of this, the corners of Ron's mouth curled up.
"I have found a way to deal with Kaido... No matter how many preparation plans I have before, an idea is still an idea. If you don't put yourself in his shoes and put it into practice, the answer will be far different."
"But after this experience, it's different. I know how to deal with him. Practice brings true knowledge!"
"You..."
Seeing that Ron was still thinking about fighting as soon as he woke up, Ai Yin covered her forehead helplessly.
"Hey!"
A carp jumped out of the hospital bed. Ron pulled off the hospital gown on his body, took the suit and justice cloak that were obviously arranged on the hanger, and began to put them on.
Ai Yin walked up to help him straighten his wrinkles, then suddenly stopped and hugged his waist.
"Huh? What's wrong?"
Ron looked down at her, his expression lagged behind and his face was tender.
Regardless of whether he had made a promise or not, for a woman who was so worried and took care of herself, nothing Ron could say would make her sad.
In response, Ai Yin laid her head on his strong chest and murmured softly.
"Promise me Ron, really... there won't be a next time."
Ai Yin's career in the navy made her accustomed to death, and also gave her a deep understanding of the hollow and helpless loneliness that death brings to those who survive.
The thought of Ron dying amplified the feeling of loneliness hundreds of times, and Ai Yin felt extremely uncomfortable in her heart.
Hearing this, Ron fell into a long silence. He opened his mouth but couldn't speak.
As smart as he is, there are times when he has trouble speaking.
Anyone can see that Ron and Ai Yin like each other, but their relationship has not been officially established, so there is a layer of paper between them.
Why does this situation occur
Both of them are so arrogant that no one wants to speak first
of course not.
The reason is actually very simple.
Because Ron didn't know if he would die or when he would die.
Ron could not act like Roger, who wanted to leave behind Ace and his mother, Portcas D. Luju, even though he knew his death was imminent.
In his eyes, this was a sign that a man was not worthy of being a husband or a father, and was derelict in his duties.
Knowing how dangerous what he was about to do was, and how many powerful opponents were waiting for him on the road ahead, Ron couldn't speak.
Although Ain didn't understand the specific details of this point, she could still see the suspicion in Ron's behavior of repeatedly fighting to the death.
So she didn't speak, and waited quietly, waiting for Ron to tell her when he felt the time was right.
But this time, it was obvious that she was quite frightened.
The last time Ron was unconscious for so long was when Dressrosa exploded and he was declared dead.
"Feel sorry… "
Ron put one arm around her waist, lowered his head and rested his chin on her head: "I made you worry."
Hearing this, Ai Yin felt disappointed, but she quickly shook her head and threw the idea aside.
Because of this, the man fascinated himself.
Men are the most handsome when they have their own persistence and so on!
"Ahem, sorry to disturb you..."
Suddenly, a coughing sound came, and Ai Yin was so frightened that she quickly pushed Ron away. She blushed and didn't dare to raise her head, and ran out with her satchel.
Watching her run away, Ron took out his cigar from his familiar pocket and lit it.
"Do you know...why I discovered your arrival using Skynet and still had sex without any scruples? Senior Porusalino."
"Oh why?"
Kizaru's face, which was full of teasing and wanted to see Ron's embarrassment, suddenly stopped, and he asked curiously.
"Because I thought... you had that consciousness."
Gulu…
Noticing the thunderous power that filled the surrounding space, Kizaru's expression stiffened and he swallowed.
"Wait, calm down Ron, I think I can explain."
"That's not necessary! Go to hell, old bachelor!"
"Hey, you've gone too far..."
Sizzle...bang!
The headquarters hospital was instantly in chaos. Smoke exploded from the wall outside the third floor, triggering a fire alarm.
Jogging in the hospital garden leading to the gate, when she heard the movement, Ai Yin turned around, with a bright and flowery smile on her face.
This is considered a commitment, isn't it
…
Naval Headquarters, Marshal's Office.
"Huh? Ron, are you awake?"
Looking at the figure pushing the door open, Cha Dou's face was full of surprise in the corner of the office.
"Ah, I just woke up... I heard General Kizaru say that something happened when I came together, so I came here quickly."
Having said this, Ron saluted Akainu on the main seat.
"marshal!"
"It's okay, just find a seat and sit down."
Akainu's expression wasn't very good, so he reluctantly twitched the corners of his mouth and motioned for Ron to take a seat.
Ron wasn't surprised by this, after all...
"Based on the message Aoki left before she fell into coma, we can confirm that something is wrong with Princess Shirahoshi, but how to interpret it? The science team is currently working overtime."
There are many people in the office, but two very important people are missing.
"General" Qing Pheasant!
And "General" Kizaru...
The battle was over when Bald Zero arrived at the battlefield. He thought that Aokiji was either killed or captured. However, according to the piece of life paper in Sengoku's hand, Aokiji was still on the battlefield and had one breath left.
After much searching, they finally found him at the bottom of the sea.
A thick layer of ice enveloped him and was frozen deep in the ice. It was Aoki's last life-saving trump card, the "extremely cold ice coffin", creating a barrier of ice that even he could not easily break free from. Protect yourself tightly and isolate yourself from all life.
After removing it, even Bald Zero was moved by it.
He broke 117 of the 206 bones in the human body; almost all the organs were shattered, and only the heart beat weakly every few dozen seconds to pump out blood to maintain life.
Even the head was completely deformed and looked unrecognizable.
Saying that he is still alive is actually no different from being dead.
So tragic!
While cleaning the battlefield, they discovered that a sea king's back was frozen with a purple patch of ice. They didn't take it seriously at first, but the Aoki Pheasant kept its arms raised and pointed in that direction when it froze itself.
Only then did Bald Zero realize something was wrong. He came to the body of the Sea King, pulled off the piece of fish skin, and discovered the problem.
On the surface, it looked bruised and frozen, but internally, only a small part of the muscle tissue was frozen, and the rest of the body was still normal.
People can't help but wonder, in such a tragic battle, why did Qing Zhi bother to do such a thing
Someone was asked to make a rubbing of the frozen part, and everyone was shocked to discover that it turned out to be a series of numbers.
3, 6, 7!
There is no doubt that this is the message Aoki pheasant left for them to avoid being discovered by the enemy before he knew he was defeated!
If he is killed by the enemy before he can even activate the "Extreme Ice Coffin", then the durability of his ice will be enough for follow-up troops to thoroughly investigate the battlefield and obtain information.
Subsequently, Aokiji was quickly transported to Marigio for emergency rescue. He is still not out of danger. His condition is so serious that he cannot survive being sent back to the headquarters just a short distance away, so he can only choose a nearby location.
No one expected that Neptune would have such terrifying strength!
If Qing Pheasant hadn't accidentally discovered that he had blocked the opponent, the consequences would have been disastrous. Judging from the traces she left behind, it turned out that her destination was Marie Joa!
After talking about the current progress, Staff Officer He's eyes turned red.
"In addition, Aokiji's condition is not optimistic...Vegapunk asked us if we can accept only retaining the brain and transform Aokiji into an artificial human."
"Are you kidding? It's not that time yet!"
"That guy won't lose!"
Akainu gritted his teeth and said.
"Send me an invitation and invite the best doctors in the world to come over!"
Hearing this, there was silence in the office.
Even the doctors serving the Celestial Dragons in the Holy Land were helpless, forcing Bega Punk to issue a critical illness notice. Will other doctors on the sea really be able to do anything
In response, Ron touched his chin: "In terms of medical technology, isn't there a choice?"
"You mean..."
Akainu frowned silently, and suddenly his eyes lit up.
"Indeed, besides the Holy Land, there is another place that possesses the most advanced medical technology!"
