Taoist priest, who is so popular in One Piece

There are not many people in the Beasts Pirates who dare to approach Kaido when he is angry.

And this blond fat man is none other than Quinn, one of the three big names in the army.

"Ok?"

After hearing Quinn's words, Kaido barely came back to his senses.

He looked towards Quinn, waiting for his message.

"A week after leaving Dressrosa, Jack, who was thrown into the seabed, finally woke up. Now they are setting out to find Raizo, one of Oden's men, according to the instructions on the life card."

"Based on the direction of the course, Raizo may have found the legendary Zou."

Zou is another legendary island in the world of One Piece.

Of course, its true appearance is a giant elephant that has survived for thousands of years.

On his back is the legendary Furry Principality, inhabited by the Fur Tribe who hate humans and will never allow outsiders to approach their territory.

"Is it the hometown of Oden's two men?"

Kaido's dull voice sounded.

"Yes, after Oden died, Inuarashi and Nekomaru were among the nine people who followed him. They were caught by the Numberers, but they eventually escaped."

"Now that Raizo was able to find Zou, it is very likely that he also used their life cards, which means..."

Before Quinn could finish his words, Kaido stood up suddenly.

"That means there is more than just Oden's men there!"

He held the mace in one hand and gently stroked the hideous scar on his chest with the other.

That was the injury caused by Oden. Over the years, only Oden had done this.

"That idiot Jack not only failed to catch the traitor, but was beaten so badly by a hairy boy who came from nowhere."

"Humph! This time, I'll go myself!"

After saying that, Kaido pushed Quinn away and strode out of the room.

It transformed into a giant dragon and flew away into the air.

"It's obvious that he wants to vent his anger on someone."

Quinn muttered with a twitching mouth, his face full of helplessness.

Their boss is good in every way except that he has no brains.

"Well, tell Jhin the news first and see if we should send someone along."

"After all, the boss doesn't have Jack's life card, so he can't find the place at all."

With that, Quinn also moved his huge body and left the room.

At the same time, two warships were docked for the first time next to an uninhabited island covered with tall trees in the waters of the New World.

They are divided into the Liaoyuan Army and the Navy.

Deep in the island, two figures were sitting opposite each other.

"It's been a long time since we last met, Yixiao."

The person who spoke was a tall man with black curly hair, high eyebrows and thick lips.

He wore sunglasses and held a cigarette in his mouth, his naked upper body covered only by a white cloak with the word "justice" printed on it.

"More than a year."

The man opposite called Yixiao was naturally one of the three commanders of the Liaoyuan Army.

"It's been more than a year."

The curly-haired man sighed first, then said: "I didn't expect that when we met again, it would be like this."

He stretched out his right hand, and his index finger stretched out strangely, as if it were a vine with life.

With a "puff", the wine barrel in front of the two men was pierced by the [vines], and the wine inside also flowed along the vines into the men's bodies.

"This wine tastes good. It will be even better if it is brewed for a longer period of time."

He smacked his lips with a hint of enjoyment, looked at Yi Xiao and said:

"You are also a big shot now, Commander of the Heart Tiger of the Liaoyuan Army."

Facing the man's words, Yixiao did not react, but spoke like an old friend:

"You're becoming more and more familiar with your abilities. It also looks like you haven't had a proper meal in a while, Aramaki."

"Because eating is too troublesome." Huang Mu said with a smile: "After having such power, why would you do such a troublesome thing."

"But," Huangmu said, "if a young lady came to feed me, I might eat a little."

"After all, beautiful young ladies are the most beautiful things in the world."

After saying this, the two looked at each other for a few seconds and then burst into laughter.

At this moment, the two of them simultaneously put aside their identities and rediscovered their former friendship.

For a moment, the woods were filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

The ability that Huangmu mentioned naturally comes from the devil fruit.

Natural system: Morin Fruit.

In this world, forests, like the sea, are the source of life.

And Huangmu, who ate the fruit of Sen Sen, can also be said to be [Nature] itself.

Possesses the powerful ability to manipulate and grow plants.

He can also use his abilities to absorb nutrients directly, which is why he doesn't need to eat.

The cheerful atmosphere did not last long, and Yixiao finally got down to business:

"I didn't expect you to choose to join the World Government in the end. It seems that my words did not convince you at the beginning."

"And now you are much more famous than me, Admiral Green Bull of the Navy."

After hearing Yixiao talk about this, Huangmu also put away his smile.

"Because your reasons are so ridiculous. Just laugh."

"Overthrow the world government, build a better ocean, and let everyone live freely and equally..."

"You must have lost too many times in the casino and become mentally ill."

Huangmu's expression was very serious, and it seemed that he was not joking.

Yixiao did not rush to refute. Instead, he sat there with a serious expression, waiting for Huangmu to continue speaking.

"We humans have survived to this day by stepping on creatures that are [lower] than ourselves."

"The World Government is the ruler of the ocean, and the Celestial Dragons are the gods of this world."

"Those who refuse to be ruled are all [low-level] beings, all of them——"

"Poor worm who doesn't deserve human rights."

"When you fight for them, you are fighting against the gods of this world."

"You and those bugs will have only one fate, and that is death."

Huangmu's voice became serious: "You are not even worthy of hatred, because this is the world as it is."

As he spoke, more vines emerged from Huangmu's body and penetrated into the slightly shorter trees around the two of them.

In a short period of time, all the trees withered and dried up.

"Survival of the fittest. These trees that grow slowly are destined to be deprived of most of the sunlight and become the nourishment of the strong after they die."

“This is a fate they cannot resist.”

...

"Is this your justice? Aramaki."

It took a long time for Huangmu to finish speaking before he smiled and spoke slowly.

He had not expected that the person he once considered a friend could be so righteous.

No, this is no longer justice.

"Justice?" Huang Mu looked like he was trying not to laugh: "You could say that."

"Like Sakaski, I believe in [absolute] justice."

"Those pirates who challenged the World Government, those bugs who said they wanted freedom but were actually just trying to get rid of the rule, and you..."

"He's a strong man but he has to protect bugs."

“They are all enemies of justice.”

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Just as Yixiao put his hand on the hilt of the knife at his waist, Huangmu laughed again.

"Of course, I have a simpler and more direct theory."
