I Have Been Sleeping Among Pirates For A Hundred Years

Island turtle, dome.

Reiju sat in the soft chair in the study room, calmly and elegantly flipping through the books in his hands in the faint sunlight coming from the window.

After a while, she closed the book.

He stood up and walked to the window, looking at the snail boat slowly sailing away on the sea in the distance.

She didn't know whether the decision she made was a good or bad decision - to serve as the spokesperson of the Vinsmoke family and obey the Blood Eye.

But for some reason, being away from Germa actually gave her a sense of peace and tranquility from the bottom of her heart.

When she fought against Xue Tong that day, she once thought that Germa would be completely destroyed.

Although things did not develop like this later, she was surprised to find herself with such thoughts...

He actually doesn't have any nostalgia for Germa.

On the contrary, I vaguely hope that this kind of thing will happen.

"well……"

Reiju looked out the window at the black spots disappearing into the sea level and sighed softly.

She was tired of meaningless wars.

It would be great if this place could become a refuge from war.

However, how can one be alone among Uzumaki...

Putting aside the immature thoughts in his mind, Reiju waved to the news bird flying in the sky.

After paying the price of one hundred beli, she lazily sat back on the lounge chair with the newspaper.

Leaning gently on the back of the chair, her fair and round thigh was placed on the other leg, swaying gently in the air.

"I wonder what interesting news there will be recently?"

She murmured softly.

After each mission, she would browse the latest news to divert her attention and relieve her mental stress.

"There are quite a few new pirates who have emerged recently..."

There were dozens of reward lists in the newspaper, and the amounts were frighteningly higher than before.

Looking through the reward sheets one by one.

[White-haired] Ah Jin, who has a bounty of 67 million beli,

[Wet Hair] Caribu with a bounty of 53 million beli,

and [bald] Cribb, who has a bounty of forty million beli.

The almost similar titles and the information that the three of them belonged to the same pirate group immediately made Reiju laugh a little.

Looking through the relevant information again, I couldn't help but show a hint of surprise.

This is actually the first time these three people have been offered a reward.

However, tracing back to the origin, the reason why the bounty amount is so high is that he broke into a Marine Base and massacred a large number of marines.

besides.

[Captain] Eustass. Kid, who has a reward of 290 million beli,

[Surgeon of Death] Trafalgar. Luo, who has a bounty of 200 million beli.

[Straw Hat] Monkey.D Luffy with a bounty of 300 million beli.

…

"Huh?"

Reiju looked a little surprised.

Compared to other pirates, this Straw Hat Luffy is very special.

He actually broke into Enies Lobby and even declared war on the World government!

And that seems to be what just happened.

Continuing to browse through the reward list, Reiju was suddenly stunned.

The pirate on this bounty list is...

[Blackfoot] Sanji with a bounty of 77 million beli.

"It's Sanji! This must be Sanji!"

Reiju looked at the reward list and suddenly stood up from the recliner in excitement.

Although the avatar on the reward list was not a photo, but an abstract portrait, she recognized it at a glance.

"Great, it turns out he is still alive..."

…

Naval Headquarters Marineford, Marshal's Office.

"Report to Marshal Sengoku, according to the news from the G-4 branch, we have determined that the blood pupil is on that island turtle. It is currently approaching the Sabaody Archipelago and is expected to arrive in a day."

Brannew straightened his back and reported seriously.

Sengoku listened to Brannew's report while browsing the intelligence documents submitted on the table with a solemn expression.

After a long time, he raised his head and looked at He who was sitting calmly at the coffee table, drinking black tea.

"Xiaohe, what do you think?"

He put down the black tea in his hand and said warmly:

"Now that Fire Fist Ace has been arrested, the next step...is to officially start a war with Whitebeard, right?"

"I really can't hide it from you... Commander Kong just issued the 'gathering of troops' order yesterday."

Sengoku said, "After the deployment of troops from the Shihai and Grand Line branches is completed, the Naval Headquarters will immediately conduct a public execution of Fire Fist Ace."

Crane said:

"Now that we are at this juncture, do we still have the strength to deal with Xue Tong? If that old immortal can calm down and not cause us any trouble, we should be thankful..."

"..."

Sengoku rubbed his eyebrows with a headache and sighed, "But the place he went to was the Sabaody Archipelago...the Sabaody Archipelago where the Celestial Dragons often go."

He slowly leaned back on his chair: "The war that is about to happen is related to the survival of the entire world. Even those Celestial Dragons must step aside."

Sengoku pondered for a few seconds, and he wanted to say: To Marine, those Celestial Dragons mean the world.

But in the end, he didn't say it out loud.

As the marshal, he has to take charge of the overall situation and take care of everything, but there is no need for Xiaohe to bear this heavy fact.

"Where's that guy Garp? The phone bug has never been able to get through." Sengoku changed the subject.

Crane replied: "I went to Impel to visit Fire Fist Ace again. After all, they also have a grandfather-grandson relationship."

"I never thought he would put Roger's son up for adoption in East Blue without permission. I never thought this would happen..."

"Be considerate of him. After knowing him for so many years, don't you understand his character? He is not good at education...

Otherwise, my son would not have become the leader of the revolutionary army that resisted the World Government, and my grandson would have become a pirate supernova who dared to declare war on the World Government..."

Compared to Sengoku's troubled posture, He was much calmer and his words were more like persuasion.

But after hearing this, Sengoku felt even more uncomfortable.

Anyone who is related to that bastard Garp is going to be one alien after another!

If it weren't for Marshal Marine's identity here, he would have wanted to curse.

After a while, he calmed down and looked at Major Marine in front of him: "Brannew, is Kuzan back?"

"Yes, Marshal Sengoku, Kuzan Admiral reported to the headquarters the day before yesterday!"

"..."

Sengoku thought for a moment and said, "Go and convey my instructions and let Kuzan leave for Sabaody Island immediately."

"Yes, I'll go right away!"

Brannew exited the office.

"Sengoku, what do you want to do?"

Crane finally couldn't help but ask.

"Don't worry, I have no intention of letting him do anything dangerous.

I just want him to secretly protect the Celestial Dragons on Sabaody Island to prevent dangerous guys like Xue Tong from taking action at will. "

Sengoku paused, "After all, Kuzan has to adapt to this kind of thing in advance..."

He's brows jumped, and he vaguely noticed something and said, "You want... to let Kuzan take over your position?"

"Yes, after this war is over, I will leave my job and retire..."

"In this case, that's fine...it's time to resign."

Crane nodded.

However, can it really go so smoothly...

For some reason, she felt a hint of uneasiness in her heart.
