[comprehensive] red tide

Staring blankly at the young man sitting across from him, seeing his innocent and bewildered face, Aokiji Kuzan could only feel his temples throbbing.

How could he not be gloomy?

Originally, according to the plan, Aokiji should stay on the warship at this moment, sail to an island near the calm belt, and go to the date that made his heart beat, but... unexpectedly this happened.

All uninvited guests are rude people who must be thrown into the deep sea prison for reflection!Especially the guy who disturbs other people's love needs to be kicked by the horse, it is best to kick out the soul of the sky! o(>﹏<)o.

That inhuman Polusalino has been off duty for almost half a month, and Aokiji's affairs are on the shoulders of two admirals. Conscience found out that the subpoena asked him to put down the business at hand and go to exchange.

Before the trip could take place, uninvited guests blocked the door.

Aokiji expressed anger.

…………

A few days ago, Aokiji received a call from Polusalino, who had not yet received it from the yellow ape, "Oh, it's rare that she went out to play in high spirits, but I've been tired for half a month and I'm really out of spirits. Kuzan still wants you to come and accompany her." Let's go shopping~', this kind of seemingly complaining is actually showing off, causing him to be envious, depressed and excited. In short, he was awakened by the mixed news. This young man who stationed in his office a few minutes ago, Just gave him a blow to the head.

Of course, this young man only arrived this morning, but because his identity was too special or scary, Aokiji had already been reminded (threatened) before he arrived.

Aokiji's teacher, Lieutenant General Garp, who is old and strong, called Kizan one step later, and said on the phone, 'I will be in Marineford in two days. ', as soon as the phone snail shut up, Aokiji had a hunch at that time that Mr. Karp must not have come alone, and there must be big troubles around him.

How could he not know the habits of his teacher?It's no big deal. How could Mr. Garp, who has always been more willful than him, know how to say hello beforehand?

In line with the principle of "soldiers come to block the water and cover the earth", Aokiji started to clean up various unfinished affairs while ordering his subordinates to prepare for travel work. He made up his mind that no matter whether Mr. Karp brought trouble or misfortune, in short , no one can stop him from embarking on a journey.

His little lady is still waiting~ That bastard Polusalino has been free for half a month. As a price, even if Mr. Karp brought over the blueprint of ancient weapons, he should replace the general Huang Yuan to save his headache.

…………

The result was just as Aokiji Kuzan expected, no... It should be unexpected but unexpected.

Lieutenant General Karp's warship stopped at the port of Marineford according to the scheduled time, and left in a hurry five minutes later, leaving only one soldier who was said to be conveying the secret.

General Aokiji, who was going to the port to meet his teacher, received a 'herald' who was leading him to the office building halfway.

Seeing this young man who was dressed indistinguishably from ordinary rookie recruits at that time, with a hat on his head covering most of his face, Aokiji was rather stunned and terrified.

If there were not so many eyes and ears at the scene at that time, Mr. Karp would be questioned if the commotion became too loud. General Aokiji had to remember [Ice Age] in the past, first freeze this 'herald' into an ice sculpture, and then throw it directly into the deep sea prison .

How courageous!As a felon who the world government can't wait to kill and then quickly, he dares to stay in Marineford in broad daylight on a naval warship!

Is it true that their navy is dead?Or did he really think that Aokiji Kuzan would look at Mr. Karp and pretend he didn't see anything?

…………

Speechless for a long time, Aokiji raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, silently suppressing the depression in his stomach. Mr. Karp was not in tune, but he was actually infected to be a little stupid. He just pretended not to see it. man back to the office.

Along the way, sneaking around like a thief to cover up for the other party.

After rubbing his stinging forehead, he lowered his hand, and Aokiji put on a serious expression, and said in a deep voice, "Then, what is your reason for coming? Portgas D. Ace——"

Slowly narrowing his eyes, Aokiji Kuzan snorted coldly, and said again, "Maybe I should call you, Gore D. Ace."

Opposite him had already taken off his hat and was playing with it in his hand, while looking around at the young man who didn't feel nervous in the enemy camp at all.

Seeing this, Aokiji sneered again, leaning back heavily towards the back of the chair, looking at the other party, the scrutiny intensified a bit, after a short silence, he said again, "In recent years, the new Whitebeard Pirates The commotion is so loud, as the central figure, how do you have time to go to Marineford?"

"Last week, I had a fight with Beast Kaido, but he appeared in front of me today. Did he surrender himself?"

"The Navy Headquarters is now in the New World. Whether it's Portgas D. Ace or Gore D. Ace, I'm not very interested in your head."

Although it was a bounty for a repeat offender, Aokiji really didn't think much about taking the life of Fire Fist Ace, after all, he was the grandson of his teacher~Of course, if it was a face-to-face encounter on the battlefield, it would be a different matter.

His attitude was bad, but it was because his travel plan was interrupted by this kid who came suddenly. Although Aokiji Kuzan thought he had a good temper, he was not without temper.

His little lady... the little lady that he could see soon, all delayed his trip because of this kid.

Whoever caused him to spend less time with the little lady is an asshole!

…………

For a moment, a look of sharpness and surprise flashed through the depths of the young man's bright black eyes, the corners of his mouth were pursed, but his momentum was very calm, but he still refused to speak, instead he took out a small scroll and handed it into the air , the hand stopped there quietly.

Raising his eyebrows, he remained silent for a few seconds, then Aokiji reached out to take the scroll, unfolded it, lowered his eyelids to glance at it quickly, and the brow bone twitched again.

After reading the content of the scroll, Aokiji put it on the table at hand, raised his gaze, and said softly, "Marinford does not provide sales/stolen/channels, and I do not accept/bribes/bribes."

The scroll is tens of centimeters long, and it is filled with various luxury items, such as the finest silk from the Naga, the top spices that can only be found on dangerous islands in the New World, highly sought-after brand jewelry, and several boxes of gems. Rare book scrolls.

There are so many things, at a glance, they can almost be called a small treasure.

The so-called no reward for no merit, not to mention that it was brought by a big pirate. As the admiral of the navy, Aokiji Kuzan said that he must strictly reject it.

After thinking about it, Aokiji Kuzan's mouth twitched slightly, "Your Whitebeard Pirates are in financial distress recently?" So distressed that you need to sell stolen goods to raise funds?But even if it is sold, the only two remaining black markets, the one in the New World is closer to Chambord, right?

And... what is Firefist Ace doing with Marineford?

The one who answered him was Portgas D. Ace who finally showed his angry eyes, with an elemental orange flame on his fingertips, "Those are not stolen goods!"

With a hoarse voice, the young man said angrily in a low voice, "They are the goods salvaged from the sunken ship at the bottom of the sea and sold off, plus the profits from several industries..."

When he said this, he paused, the young man's black eyes shifted a few degrees, the corners of his mouth sank, and when he spoke again, the topic of confidentiality had been changed to a relatively safe content, "And it's not for you , is for her."

…………

…she…?

Aokiji squinted his eyes, and a trace of vigilance and haze slipped through his eyes. After thinking about it, under the hidden hope and complicated gaze of Portgas D. Ace, the corners of his mouth ticked, "I want to come two months ago. Is the information about the meeting between Fire Fist Ace and Pluto true?"

Fire Fist Ace's gift was for the little lady, presumably Pluto Sirbazz Raleigh revealed it to Fire Fist. After all, apart from a few people who secretly guessed, only Pluto and Mr. Karp know the whereabouts of the little lady.

Mr. Karp was because the young lady accidentally entered his warship at that time, but Pluto contacted the young lady himself, and Fire Fist...unfortunately had inextricable connections with those two.

just this gift...

Before Aokiji Kuzan could come up with a more formal reason for refusal, Portgas D. Ace said in a rough voice, "If you don't help me give her the things, next time let Sage go directly to Ray Uncle Li is waiting."

Qingzhi paused, raised his eyes, and took a deep look at the young man who dared to threaten him, and immediately felt that the idea of ​​throwing people into the deep sea prison was quite good.

Perhaps seeing some fun from his gloomy face, Portgas D. Ace finally smiled. With freckles on his cheeks, the young man smiled naughtily and nastyly, "Uncle Raleigh must be happy to help .”

After laughing, Portgas D. Ace raised his hand and scratched his hair, and continued in a muffled voice, "It's just a thank you gift, and I won't bother you again in the future."

Lowering his eyes, the young man's brow showed a look that he didn't know how to describe, as if he was sad, but also a little happy, and he spoke again after a while, "Uncle Lei Li gave me some postcards, I..."

"When I was injured and unconscious, I actually heard..."

After the two sentences without beginning and end, Portgas D. Ace raised his eyes, the corners of his mouth trembled imperceptibly, and his smile was sad and happy, "She said to me at that time, 'Even if it is for your mother Your love and regret, you are not qualified to die'."

"After I survived, I realized that I was a happy person."

…………

For a long time after that, Aokiji Kuzan sat behind the desk, not moving or speaking, Portgas D. Ace had already left, and he was left alone in the room, and there was a Scrolls on the table.

The thank you gift for her was loaded on a ship, and the ship was parked in Marineford Dock at the moment. During the time when Fire Fist Ace stayed in his office, the ship was ordered by Mr. Garp to enter the dock.

What Aokiji was thinking about was not that he, an admiral of the navy, accepted a gift from a pirate and didn't know how to position it. What he was thinking about now was that Fire Fist Ace had grown to an astonishing extent in a few years.

The young man who has lost his impetuosity, acts calmly, and is quite methodical in his advances and retreats. Compared with the time when he stepped on the execution platform, Portgas D. Ace now has the aura of a big pirate.

No wonder there have been vague rumors in the New World in recent years that one of the new Four Emperors may be the son of One Piece.

After the Battle of the Top, the Whitebeard Pirates did not fail as expected by the navy. A dozen captains headed by the phoenix Marco quickly repelled the enemies who invaded the sphere of influence. Captain Edward Newgate died in battle in Marineville. Germany, the Whitebeard Pirates are still a huge force that should not be underestimated.

When Portgas d. Ace reappeared in front of the world, the Whitebeard Pirates were even more agitated, and even quickly pushed back Kaido, the Beast Emperor whose power had expanded to his territory.

Even if the supernovas of that year turned their hands into clouds and rain in the new world, they could not shake the foundation of the Four Emperors in a short time.

After thinking about it, he shook his head again. Aokiji took a deep breath and temporarily put aside the increasingly complicated situation in the New World. Now he and the two admirals of the yellow monkey are almost ready to retire.

How the world turns ups and downs has nothing to do with them.

Be it the famed Straw Hat Luffy, the clown Bucky of the Seven Martial Seas, or even the death surgeon Trafalgar Law's alliance with the Straw Hats, these major events that will affect the changes in the world situation, Aokiji and Kizaru They are all facing it with a spectator attitude.

Once the changes in the current situation only involve the high-ranking people, there will be no change for the common people. As long as the people can live in peace and stability, they, the people who chose to protect them in the first place, naturally don't care.

…………

Aokiji and Kizaru have already made preparations. Once the Warring States Marshal chooses a reliable successor, the two of them will resign as admirals of the navy and live in seclusion from then on. They will accompany her to watch the sunrise and sunset every day.

Qingzhi felt that there was nothing wrong with spending the rest of his life together in such an ordinary way.

So~ as long as his little lady lives in the palace safely, for Aokiji Kuzan, the only thing he needs to worry about now is how to get to the island in the mouth of the yellow ape in the first time.

If I had known that it was Portgas D. Ace, the son of a hard-core rival in love, Aokiji would not have stayed and waited for others out of respect for Mr. Karp.

It's so frustrating!
