The pirates sat and forgot, and they really believed the nine truths and one lie.

The Marijoa incident is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. In addition to the pirate forces, other forces that are not on good terms with the World Government will of course want to get involved and reap some benefits.

Smoker, the smoker with a decadent look on his face and unkempt appearance, looks like an old man. At first glance, he looks even older than the former third admiral.

The fact that he was in the same team as General Akin fully proved that Artoria Pendragon was somewhat worried about him. Ever since the Iron-Blooded War, Smoker had a tendency to self-destruct.

Before becoming an admiral, Ajin experienced the pain of losing his companions. He survived that tremendous torment and gradually grew into an independent man.

In the process of getting along, he and Smoker gradually became drinking buddies. He understood the pain of each other losing friends and subordinates. The only thing he could do with Smoker was for the two men to drink together, using alcohol to numb their nerves and temporarily forget some painful memories.

"This black fog can block the senses and even block the observation Haki. I don't know if it is a product of science or a creation of the devil fruit."

“Or neither.”

After the two admirals passed through the black fog, the surrounding scenery changed drastically, from one piece of land to another. The ability of Infinite City to compress space was truly amazing.

When Smoker saw the familiar scenery around him, his originally cloudy eyes were replaced by hatred. The bloodshot in his eyes made his face even more hideous, and the fierce aura on his body gradually spread outward.

This is an island tightly surrounded by the ocean. It is like a shining gem inlaid in the boundless blue ocean.

The island is rich in iron ore. After years of erosion by sea water, these ores gradually oxidize, giving the island a unique red main color.

When the sun shines on the island, the red minerals shine with charming light, as if the blood of the earth is flowing.

The waves hit the rocks on the shore, splashing white waves, which contrast with the red color of the island, forming a beautiful picture.

The vegetation on the island is sparse, with only some tenacious plants growing on this barren land. This is the result of human destruction. After the once rich land was drained of its value, only some rubble is left.

The weeds adapted to the harsh environment and showed their tenacious vitality. The sea breeze gently brushed against my face, bringing a salty and bitter smell. There was actually a sea in the Infinite City! ?

Seeing that his companions were almost going crazy and exuding a terrifying murderous aura, Ajin knew that this island was not simple.

After carefully observing the surrounding environment, he suddenly remembered a briefing sent by Belumebear, which described in detail Smoker's experience on the Iron Island.

The description of the Iron Island environment in the memory briefing is exactly the same as the current situation. This is definitely intentional by the enemy. "Smoker, control your emotions. This is the enemy manipulating your emotions. When you get to Iron Island, you can take revenge and complain. I will help you to the end."

The good friend patted his chest and promised to avenge him. Smoker looked at Ajin with gratitude. In terms of brotherhood, Ajin is worthy of deep friendship.

Although Akin's background is not clean and he killed many civilians when he was a pirate, he is a boss-centric person. As long as he follows a correct leader, he will go through fire and water for the entire system.

This is also one of the reasons why Altria Pendragon took a fancy to Akin. After all, any leader of any force would like such a powerful and loyal subordinate who is not afraid of death.

Smoker temporarily suppressed the murderous aura in his body. He knew that if his emotions fluctuated greatly, he might be exposed and caught by the enemy. Then not only would he suffer, but Ajin might also be implicated.

"The enemy really picked a good place to fight us on the Iron Island. If we run into Buggy the Clown, we'll be unlucky, but if we run into anyone else, I'll be sorry." Smoker knew that he was no match for the Four Emperors alone, but he had never been afraid of the cadres under the Four Emperors.

After exchanging glances, the two admirals walked towards the center of Iron Island. If a battle broke out at the edge of the island or at the seaside, it would not be a good battlefield for Devil Fruit users, as they were restricted and could not better launch the battle.

Iron Island was once the base of the Joker Pirates, but it was abandoned after the Iron Blood War. All the pirates on it moved away and it became one of the uninhabited islands in the sea.

Even though the Iron Island is rich in iron ore, mining is extremely time-consuming and laborious. The Joker Pirates obtained some iron ore here, but the weapons they made were extremely fragile. The idea of ​​using this place as a weapons factory was quickly abandoned in the face of practical problems.

"It seems that our opponent for this trip has appeared, but it seems that he has a good appetite."

Smoker used his Observation Haki to scan the island inch by inch, and finally found a sound in a corner, a crunchy sound of chewing food, but the food the other person ate was not something that ordinary humans could enjoy.

A mysterious and unique man sat on an open-pit mine, with long black hair draped over his shoulders and the ends of his hair pointedly raised, as if he had a hint of unruly air.

There were five earrings shining on his left ear, three on each eye and one on his nose. These metal ornaments added a sense of coldness and rebellion to his face.

He was wearing a metallic suit that shone with a cold light, as if it blended with his temperament. His face had clear contours and strong lines, but he had an expression that made people curious and wary of him.

As the two admirals walked over, the other man had been picking up iron ore with his bare hands, putting one rusty red stone after another into his mouth and crushing them with his teeth. Eating stones, or more precisely, eating iron, was an extremely delicious thing for this man.

Can a normal human stomach digest iron ore?

It was obvious that the man in front of him was not a normal person. A guy with normal thinking would not choose Iron Island as a battlefield to expose the scars of the Navy Admiral.

If Smoker gets too emotional and fights hard at that time, the blocker won't know whether to cry or laugh. It is also possible that this is what a man wants. He wants the admiral to show his real ability. Playing house on the sea is too boring. Only a duel with a real man will ignite the fighting spirit.

"You're finally here. I've been waiting for you here for a long time. If I wait any longer, this body will rust." The man grabbed the largest piece of ore and threw it into his mouth without hesitation. His steel teeth with amazing bite force crushed the iron ore into small pieces, which were then swallowed into his stomach.
