Pirate: Nami! Give me back my Berry!

The eruption of the Sky-High Current did not last long and stopped after only a few minutes.

However, after this brief pause, the rain curtain that had disappeared in the morning came again, and this time the rainfall was obviously heavier than before.

The sea surface gradually returned to calm.

The sound of rain coming from afar seems to constantly remind people to appreciate this magical scenery.

"This... is truly amazing... It's exactly the same as the 'Rain of Blessing' in our Furry Principality..." Reina widened her eyes, her heart filled with shock.

The eruption of the Sky-High Stream that she had just witnessed reminded her of the 'Rain of Blessing' that the Zou Giant Elephant would erupt twice a day, but compared to the Sky-High Stream, the 'Rain of Blessing' was much smaller in scale.

"It's really amazing!" Nojigo also agreed.

"It seems that the New World is really full of strange and mysterious natural scenery. I heard that in some places there are even oceans that look like cross-sections. I really want to see it myself!" Nami's beautiful eyes flashed with determination, full of desire to explore.

"Ling Yan, look over there, a warship!" Hogg suddenly pointed to the left side of the rain curtain and shouted.

Everyone immediately looked in the direction Hogg pointed, and saw three huge naval warships passing through the rain and slowly heading towards them.

"It's Aokiji, what is this guy doing here?" Kuina frowned and asked in confusion.

The others also looked thoughtful, secretly guessing the purpose of Aokiji's visit.

Ever since they took Daxiong away from the Navy Headquarters, Zhan Guo ordered the revocation of Ling Yan's naval status, so now their dream expedition team no longer has the status of a navy, but has become a pure adventure group.

"Ling Yan, has there been no intelligence about the navy recently?" Noqigao turned to look at Ling Yan and asked.

"We just came from Fishman Island, and the information bird hasn't had time to deliver the intelligence. However, Aokiji's appearance here shouldn't be to cause trouble for us." Ling Yan replied after thinking for a moment.

Everyone fell silent, quietly waiting for the three naval ships to approach.

As the distance got closer, they finally saw the flag flying on the warship and the eye-catching naval emblem on the hull.

This was indeed the fleet led by Aokiji, and their arrival made the whole scene tense and full of expectation.

"Alala~~~"

"Ling Yan, it seems that you are not at all surprised by the arrival of our navy..." Approaching the island, Aokiji walked to the bow of the warship and looked at Ling Yan, then glanced at everyone in the Dream Group.

"Indeed not, but I'm still a little curious about why you came to us?" Ling Yan asked calmly with a frown.

Aokiji did not answer immediately. He looked at the members of the Dream Group again. He felt that compared to the past, the people in the Dream Group seemed to be more relaxed and casual.

But thinking back, I feel that the Dream Team has always been like this...

"Yesterday, more than a dozen pirate groups were waiting for you at the entrance to Punk Hazard in the New World, but they didn't expect that you would come here first." Aokiji did not answer Ling Yan's question, but just said casually.

"Wait for us?" Ling Yan was a little confused.

"Well... they are the admirers of your dream expedition team. It seems that they have learned the exact time of your arrival in the new world, and then they are waiting for you there, hoping to join your dream expedition team.

But they left before you showed up, as if they wanted to go to another place to wait for your news." Aokiji said slowly.

Hearing this, the members of the Dream Group looked at each other in silence.

Shanks had already told them when they were in the Sabaody Archipelago that there were many expedition groups hoping to follow their dreams in the New World.

But no one expected that these people would actually block the entrance to the new world and wait for them.

"That's not right, Aokiji, you are a navy. You didn't take action against more than a dozen pirate groups, but let them leave?" Hogg felt very confused.

Others also felt it was very strange. Among more than a dozen pirate groups, Aokiji, as the admiral of the navy, did not choose to take action?

"Ling Yan, I have something I want to talk to you about in private." Aokiji ignored Hogg's question and instead turned his gaze directly to Ling Yan. His originally lazy eyes now revealed a hint of seriousness.

Seeing this scene, everyone in the Dream Group felt very strange.

"Let's go to the island." Ling Yan answered without hesitation, then he quickly got off the boat and walked towards the dilapidated town.

Seeing this, Aokiji also jumped off the warship.

On the three warships, two major admirals and some officers gathered together and discussed in low voices, but they still could not understand Admiral Aokiji's intention at this time.

Everyone in the Dream Group looked at each other and finally chose to remain silent. They felt very strange in their hearts that Aokiji's behavior today was abnormally strange.

Ling Yan came to a relatively intact house and jumped lightly onto the roof. Aokiji followed closely behind him and quickly caught up.

"Admiral Aokiji, your behavior today is very strange. This is not the image of a navy admiral." Ling Yan said casually while sitting on the fence.

Aokiji looked at Ling Yan deeply before speaking: "Marshal Zhan Guo is about to retire. He recommended me to Marshal Kong as the next marshal of the navy."

Hearing this, Ling Yan raised his eyebrows.

finally coming?

"Akainu would definitely not want to see you take the position of the Navy Admiral, right?" Ling Yan asked casually.

Aokiji nodded and said calmly: "You are right, Sakaski has always been eyeing the position of Navy Admiral, and he believes that he has enough strength and experience to lead the Navy.

And my existence has undoubtedly become his biggest competitor."

Ling Yan smiled and didn't seem to care about these things.

Aokiji took a deep breath and said slowly: "Originally I had no intention of taking the position of Admiral of the Navy, but now Admiral Sengoku is retiring and Sakaski wants to take that position, which I don't want to see. His justice is too extreme.

I cannot allow a man like him to take charge of the Navy."

Ling Yan nodded to show his understanding.

He knew that Aokiji's ideas about justice were completely different from Akainu's.

The conflict between the two is not only a conflict of personal interests, but also a disagreement on the definition of justice.

Aokiji looked into the distance, his eyes firm as he said, "So, we decided to have a duel, and the winner will become the next Admiral of the Navy!"

"Forehead......"

"But these have nothing to do with us, General Aokiji." Ling Yan spread his hands and said casually.

"I want to ask you, what is your definition of justice?" Aokiji has wanted to ask this question for a long time.

Ling Yan frowned. He didn't expect Qing Zhi to ask him this question. "To be honest, I don't have a specific definition of justice, because justice cannot be expressed in words.

The unity of knowledge and action is true knowledge.

If I have to say, I am just a person with a high idealism. As long as I think something is right, then that is justice for me.”

"Unity of knowledge and action..." Aokiji murmured.
