Pirate Bloody Hand Mary

"Since you have your own considerations, I won't interfere much."

Yixiao nodded slightly.

"Oh, by the way, Mr. Yixiao, why are you here?"

Mary suddenly remembered how she came while sobbing.

When Mary first came, she knew that Aokiji and Mihawk were fighting, but inexplicably, Esdeath, Blackbeard, and Weibull were included.

Later, after she arrived, red-haired Shanks came to support, disrupting Mary's plan.

Now as she hunted Weibull, the smile appeared before her again.

The small Krayingana Island can actually gather so many Crouching Dragon and Phoenix chicks.

Mary didn't know if other battlefields were also in such a state of being completely out of control. Listening to Aokiji's tone, Marshal Sengoku seemed to be serious this time.

But since Aokiji said that the strategic goal this time has been achieved, even if various unexpected situations occur in other places, they should not be at a disadvantage.

"Ashamed to say that."

Yixiao lowered his head slightly and said, "Your Excellency Mary once asked me to help protect Impel Down City, and I did stop a man named Blackbeard."

"However, the opponent is quite cunning and has remarkable strength. After chasing for a long time, I was still thrown away by him. This time I came to Krayingana Island because I was searching for traces of Blackbeard in the windless zone. I accidentally discovered an ice mark and followed it.”

"Now it seems that those should be the traces left by General Aoki Pheasant, right?"

Having said this, Yixia paused and apologized again:

"I failed to fulfill your entrustment, and I would like to apologize to you."

"No, no, no, you're done..."

Mary waved her hands quickly and said:

"I asked you to stop people who wanted to go to Impel Down to do evil, and you did it."

"If Blackbeard was in Impel Down at that time..."

Mary's voice gradually trailed off, ending with an almost silent sigh.

"...It seems that something unpleasant happened to you in Impel Down City."

Yixiao whispered.

Mary smiled bitterly, shook her head, then turned around and said:

"A sailor died, and that was my classmate. But in war, people always die, so he deserved his death."

"Just a smile. Although we haven't met a few times, we have been going back and forth for such a long time. In your wandering career, you can barely be considered an old acquaintance, right?"

"nature."

Yixiao nodded.

"Such a smile!" Mary suddenly became excited, "Do you want to join my army?"

"..." Yixiao frowned slightly, then shook his head, "I have no plans to join the navy."

"It's not about joining the navy, it's about joining my command."

Hearing this, he suddenly looked at Mary with a smile.

Although he couldn't see, Mary could feel Yixiao's [Heart Eyes] focused on her.

She didn't panic, but lay down on the sampan leisurely, put her hands behind her head, and looked at him with a smile.

"……I see."

Yixiao was a smart man, and he understood the meaning of Mary's words without any further explanation from Mary.

"Do you want to establish a new branch?"

"No, that's not right... Your reputation in the Navy is now at its peak. Judging from your current actions, there is no conflict with the Navy. There is no need to establish a separate branch."

"... Your Excellency will face an enemy that can also have a huge impact on the navy, right?"

"Well……"

Mary was slightly startled and said in surprise:

"It's incredible, Mr. Yixiao, you can actually guess this level."

"I'm not a person who doesn't know much about anything."

Yixiao nodded slightly and said:

"Now that the four emperors have lost three out of four, the influence of the Shichibukai is probably not as good as before. What's more, the Shichibukai itself still belongs to the World Government." (At this time, Yixiao still doesn't know about the navy's operations against the Shichibukai)

"The power of the pirates is no longer what it used to be. The power of the revolutionary army was unable to compete head-on with the navy before. Now under this situation, the gap between the two will only widen."

"These two forces can no longer compete with the navy, and you want to save your own strength to deal with the people..."

"..."

After a moment of silence, Yixiao raised his head and faced the sky.

"You want the sky to be clearer, don't you?"

"Um."

Mary sat up, resting her head on her bent knees, and asked softly:

"Mr. Yixiao, what do you think?"

"...I am not able to give you an answer yet."

Yixiao smiled and shook his head, "But if there is really a need in the future, if you can really fight to that point for the sake of the people, I will naturally come to help."

"You still don't believe me, is it because of my methods?"

Mary shrugged and shook her head.

"No, I don't doubt your ambition."

Yixiao said with a serious face:

"I don't have the slightest doubt about your character. I don't join you now just because my personal affairs are unfinished, and the current world situation is not yet time for me to intervene."

"I have no doubts about your justice."

"Huh? Why?"

Mary raised her eyebrows and asked curiously.

Yixiao is a person with a strong sense of justice, Mary knows it well. However, Mary is quite curious. According to Yixiao's character, he is not averse to his method of bloody justice. Although he cannot be said to be hostile, it can be seen from the way he gets along with Akainu. It is definitely not friendly.

But now that Yixiao was so friendly and trusting when facing Akainu, who was to some extent a replica of him, Mary couldn't help but be surprised.

You know, to be honest, Mary's image in the newspapers was not a good one.

"Have you forgotten that I can [see] the other person's soul directly?"

A smile and a slight smile.

Mary was startled.

Yixiao paused and then said:

"A person's soul can highlight a person's character. As you can see below, your soul is like a white jade that exudes black energy. It has a dark appearance, but at its core is pure kindness."

"The two are mixed together, the aura of chaos is flowing, and the dark appearance protects the pure white heart."

"Such soul qualities can even be called enviable."

"Your Excellency, who is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, must have many followers, right? He doesn't have any intention of admiration, just relying on the passionate followers in his heart."

"...Yeah, a lot."

Mary shook her head, "Your ability is really convenient."

"It's just a little trick of the witherworm."

Yixiao said modestly.

"Well, now that the matter here has been settled, I'll take my leave first."

After that, as soon as he raised his sword, Weibull rushed out of the water and floated into the air.

Seeing this, Mary also spread her blood wings, took off, and threw out a pile of blood that turned into a giant hand and grabbed Weibull.

"Then I won't hold you back any longer. I wish you a safe journey."

"There is no smooth sailing for a wanderer."

Yixiao said with a smile, swung the sword, and with the reaction force, the sampan flew directly up and rushed into the distance.

Mary's mouth twitched as she watched.

“What a unique way to travel.”

"Okay, you guy...ah, have you fainted?"

Mary looked at Weibull clutched in bloody hands, sneered, tied it behind her, and flew towards the location of the No. 1 ship in the distance.

She had been near the No. 1 ship when she rose to the surface before, so she clearly remembered the direction at this time.

Soon after, the figures of Aokiji and others appeared in the field of vision. To Mary's surprise, there were many injured figures on the ice, and some medical staff were bandaging them urgently.

"Oh, Mary, you're back."

Aokiji was the first to discover Mary. Among the group of people, including Esdeath, Aokiji was the most knowledgeable and persuasive person.

"Ah, we caught someone."

Mary said, she folded her blood wings, landed on the ice, and threw Weibull off.

She said nothing about Yixiao.

Yixiao is still a discrete person without any influence. Maybe He and others will know Yixiao because they are well-informed, but in general he can be regarded as one of their trump cards.

"This guy is..."

Qingzhi frowned, "That guy who ran away just now?"

"This is the guy who massacred the navy...where are the warships?"

"They are all dead. The warship was sunk by me."

Mary said expressionlessly.

"Is this so..." Qingzhi looked at Weibull, whose limbs were severed and the skin and flesh on his body were cut open like fish scales. There was no trace of pity in his eyes.

At this time, Esdeath also came over.

"Yeah, what a cool way to execute someone."

Looking at the unconscious Weibull on the ice and the cuts on his body, her eyes lit up.

"I can feel that this guy has strong vitality...Mary, can you let me take him away and try some punishment?"

"This guy is very physically strong, don't let him get away." Mary nodded, "Also, don't kill him."

"Don't worry, with me here, it will be difficult for him to die."

Esdeath grinned, grabbed Weibull's hair, and dragged him away.

Aoki looked at Esdeath's back and asked:

"Aren't you going to kill him now?"

"He had to die, but I had other ideas. It wouldn't be worth much for him to die here."

Mary said with half-closed eyes.

Qing Pheasant nodded:

"Since you have your own ideas, I won't say more."

"I have reported the news of your return to the Warring States Marshal. In addition, I have also informed the Warring States Marshal about your ability to fight Eagle Eye."

Qing Pheasant paused and then said:

"What I said in the intelligence is that you already have the ability to 'take charge of yourself'."

"What a kind comment." Mary said with a strange smile, "What did the Warring States Marshal say?"

"He was just feeling that the rank of Vice Admiral that was originally intended to be awarded to you is now more worthy of the name."

Qingzhi was amused after saying this, "With the strength you have shown now, among the lieutenant generals, Mr. Garp is probably the only one who can beat you. Ms. He is not even as good as you. After all, Ms. He is not good at fighting."

"Relatively speaking."

"I don't care. I won't hold this rank for long."

Mary stretched.

Qing Pheasant nodded in agreement.

"Yes, after Operation Red Sea, Marshal Warring States planned to retire."

"So this operation is called Operation Red Sea by you guys? It's a very appropriate name...wait, he's retiring?"

It took Mary a while to react, and she immediately looked up at Qing Pheasant.

"Yes, although it has not been announced to the public, we generals, people on the staff, Mr. Zefa, Mr. Garp and other old people already know about it."

"Marshal Warring States is also getting older. He was originally from the same era as Roger, and he carried the bloody storm of the entire Great Pirate Era. Now after Operation Red Sea, the power of pirates has been eliminated, and the Great Pirate Era is over. He can also rest. .”

Qing Pheasant said with emotion.

"What a powerful marshal. He has ended the era of great pirates. His successor will probably have an easy time."

"Of course, you also deserve a lot of credit, Mary."

"Haha~"

Mary didn't hide her pride at all and shrugged frivolously.

Qing Pheasant nodded:

"After the Warring States Marshal retires, no matter who becomes the Marshal, the position of the general will inevitably change."

"With your current strength and record, Mary, I will definitely recommend you to become a general."

Qingzhi said seriously.

Looking at Qing Zhi's slightly deep eyes, Mary half-squinted her eyes and understood.

For someone who has been in the general position for so long, even if he doesn't usually care about political affairs, his political skills are not bad.

These words were an obvious attempt to win over Mary, inadvertently raising Mary's expectations, emphasizing the change in status, and at the same time showing his support for Mary.

Highly recommended, highly recommended... What kind of person can recommend a general? Do what you say carry enough weight?

Qing Pheasant was hinting at himself.

A subtle smile appeared on Mary's lips.

But my goal is not to be a general.

"Sorry, General Aokiji, I don't want to become a general."

Mary spoke.

"Huh? Why..."

Qing Zhi tilted his head, and just as he opened his mouth, someone rushed over like a gust of wind.

She quickly picked up Mary, held her petite body tightly in her arms, and at the same time rubbed Mary with her chin.

"Ah—Mary! It's really been a long time!"

Dusky shouted excitedly.

After leaving the battlefield, especially in front of Mary, Dasqi lost that vigor.

She is now a junior, hugging Mary.

"Wait, wait... I'm hugging you too tightly..."

Mary struggled in Dusqi's arms and said, "You have grown up again, Dusqi..."

"It's because Mary has never grown up!"

The undercurrent of the conversation between Aokiji and Mary was interrupted by Dusqi in this way, and Aokiji's next words were lost.

He smiled bitterly and took the initiative to change the subject:

"Dasi Qi, are your injuries okay?"

After hearing this, Dasqi put down Mary and turned to General Aoki Pheasant and nodded.

"Thank you for your concern, General Aokiji. My injury is no longer serious."

"After being frozen, the wound healed naturally without much pain, and it did not affect my movements."

"It still needs to be treated by a doctor."

Qingzhi still said with a serious face.

Dasqi immediately saluted: "Yes, General Qing Pheasant."

"Your personality still hasn't changed much."

Mary, who finally took a breath, shook her head and smiled, then looked at Aokiji.

"Then let's stop talking about it now. The matter is over. It's time for us to leave, right?"

"Well, let's go. The operation is over, and we might have to go support others."

"Without further ado, let's go to the second ship and set sail back."

"To the second ship?"

Mary was stunned for a moment: "Aren't you going to the No. 1 ship?"

After saying that, Mary looked around.

"Don't tell me that I really haven't noticed... where is the No. 1 ship?"

"Oh, I forgot to tell you, Red Hair and Mihawk 'borrowed' the No. 1 ship when they left."

"I was the only one at the time, and Esdeath wasn't here either. Anyway, the other party didn't hurt anyone, so I didn't stop him."

"...Those two guys..."

A tic-tac-toe suddenly appeared on Mary's forehead.

"The red hair should have been taught a lesson before, he left too easily..."

Qing Zhi looked at the angry Mary, scratched his head, and then said with a smile:

"Okay, okay, there's no point in talking about it now. Don't get angry. Since he took away Mihawk, we will definitely have a chance to fight against each other in the future. Let's teach him a lesson then."
