"Smoker, you've investigated it clearly......" Dusty came to Smoker with a stern face.

"What happened?" Smoking a cigarette, Smoker sat on the ship's barrel.

Since Helian Feng and the Straw Hats broke through the town of Rogue, Smoker applied to the headquarters for an order and chased the two men to the Great Passage.

Merely......

Watching the smoke change shape in his hands, Smoker's face was still full of solemnity.

"It has been confirmed that the target of the two groups seems to be Alabastan......" Dusty said with a stern face.

For these two groups, Dusty's inner unwillingness is not much less than that of Smoker.

"Alabastan, a country at war. Smoker frowned.

In addition to considering the purpose of the two groups, there are other places to think about in the heart.

After all, Smoker also understands that with his current ability, even if he catches up......

For that Helian Feng, there is nothing to do.

"What a ...... Trouble guy......"

―――――――――――――――――――――――――

Headquarters of the Navy

In the office of the Warring States, the three major generals gathered together.

"News from Smoker...... Let's take a look......" Sitting behind his desk, Sengoku, who had been promoted to the rank of naval marshal, frowned into a pimple.

The three generals sitting on the sofa got a copy of the information that Smoker had sent from Rogue Town before.

His fists clenched tightly, Akainu gritted his teeth, and the heat suddenly emitted from his body heated up the entire office!

"Ahlala~~It's really not easy to do~~~" Still sitting there lazily, but behind the brown sunglasses, what was hidden was the eyes of the yellow ape.

"......" Qingzhi did not speak.

It's just that the face is also not relaxed.

"What are you waiting for...... Such evil parties...... We must clear it as soon as possible!" Akainu slammed the armrest of the couch and stood up, as if he couldn't suppress his anger anymore.

"After all, the other party has disappeared for twenty years...... At this time, it suddenly appeared, and I think it is safer to find out the other party's purpose before acting. Qingzhi frowned and expressed a different opinion.

In fact, in the twenty years since Helian Feng disappeared, Qing Zhi has also studied this person who has repeatedly made himself suffer.

However, after research, it was found that in addition to being strong, the damage they directly caused to the world government was really small and pitiful, and they were worthy of their sky-high bounty.

So twenty years later, Helian Feng's reappearance, in Qingzhi's opinion, does not need to be too nervous.

However, the conservative opinion of Qingzhi naturally won the angry eyes of Akainu.

"I also agree with the idea of being naïve...... We should observe first......" Slowly tapping on his desk, Sengoku said slowly.

This is also the result of his thinking about it all night.

"......" Akaiu was speechless for a moment, and turned his head to look at the only yellow ape who did not express an opinion.

It's a pity that the yellow ape is still sitting there lazily, and he doesn't seem to have any intention of speaking.

……

"Humph!"

With a cold snort, Akainu flicked his cloak and walked out of the office.

After Akainu left......

Qingzhi and Yellow Ape didn't stay long, and left the Warring States office one after another.

"After so many years...... You who have once again stepped into the great voyage...... Why the hell......" Sengoku muttered.

At the same time, look at the photos on the profile.

The three generals didn't have any doubts about the photo, probably thinking that it was a photo from twenty years ago, but Sengoku knew.

This is exactly the photo taken in Rogue Town not long ago.

Guy with no signs of aging at all......

In some senses......

This guy does have a terrible influence.

As long as he says......

―――――――――――――――――――――――――

Fighting is not the same as fighting.

I don't know how long ago it was, but Haben remembered that someone had said this to him, and the high-spirited Haben just scoffed at it.

Isn't the so-called battle just a fight! An act of reaching a consensus on different opinions in the simplest way...... Since the advent of human beings, there have been ways of "communicating......

People who distinguish between this kind of behavior are boring enough.

That's what Haben has been thinking all along.

But now......

But he had to admit that between battles, there were indeed levels......

It's like......

The battle between the two in front of me!,

There is no superfluous sound!

Even, because one of them was bare-handed, there was not even the sound of the metal of those weapons.

I could only see the two people constantly changing their locations, and faintly saw two figures, but the movements of the two people were difficult to see.

This level of combat ......

Even if he stood here and watched, his body was already trembling subconsciously, let alone fighting against either of them.

……

"Click!" With a soft thud, the deck of the ship was sliced open by the blade of Hawkeye......

"Hey, hey, hey, it's a new ship!" pulled the corners of his mouth, and Helian Feng looked at the ship with some distress.

Although it is made of very fine wood, it is no different from a tofu block in front of the blade of Eagle Eye.

"Let's go down!"

Grabbing a very small flaw in Hawkeye, Helian Feng turned around and kicked like Hawkeye's heart!

"En!" A cold light flashed in his eyes, Hawkeye's wrist shook, and the black blade in his hand had already spun, and when he was in a hurry, it was in his heart.

"When~~"

Just by listening to the voice, you can imagine how heavy the blow really was.

Although Hawkeye used the blade to block Helian Feng's blow, he had nowhere to borrow his strength in mid-air, so he could only let his body fall down.

The direction of the fall was the small runabout used for the attack where Haben was.

"Bang!" landed firmly on the dinghy, and as soon as he landed, Hawkeye quickly adjusted his balance.

Although most of the powerful kinetic energy was dissolved by Hawkeye's skill, it still almost capsized the small speedboat.

Haben also grabbed the edge of the boat to stabilize his body.

The other fainting subordinates were unlucky and were thrown directly into the sea. Fortunately, I woke up by the sea water and struggled to hold on to the edge of the boat, otherwise I would inevitably die at the bottom of the sea.

"Eagle ...... Hawkeye ...... "Hubben swallowed hard.

Maybe he thought about it when he was young, but since he entered the great voyage, since the so-called [recognize] his own catties, Haben has never thought about it again......

Actually able to get away from Hawkeye......

How close you can be to the people at the top of the pirate pyramid!

"!!" came to mind......

Slowly, tremblingly, Haben stood up!

I don't know how long I have been silent in my heart, but at this moment there is an inexplicable restlessness.

Even if it's said that it's "incompetent", even if it's going to be killed because of [offense] later......

Only now, now that you are so close to the top characters of the pirate world!

Haben wants to stand up!

……

"Pirate ......," Hawkeye's voice came......

Although his back was to him, Harben felt that Hawkeye was talking to him, and there seemed to be a faint smile in Hawkeye's tone.

"Do you know who this person is?"

I just can't figure it out! Such a monster-level person! It should have resounded in the sea a long time ago! Why...... Why is it that I am not impressed at all!

Thinking of this, Haben's gaze slowly looked at the other person!

Although I haven't heard of it, I can actually suppress Hawkeye...... It's just ...... Monster!

"!" pupils shrank sharply!

That man...... Standing on the sea!

That's right, I've heard before, when a person's speed is fast enough to reach a certain distance, then you can run on the sea!

But now this man is standing on the sea like this!

The dark clouds in the sky slowly dispersed! The fiery red morning sun also rose from the east!

Every qiē in this heaven and earth seems to have become the back of that person!

The weak temperament I felt before has disappeared, and under the background of the rising sun, the slightly thin figure exudes a kind of self-confidence that oppresses others!

"If there's any pirate closest to One Piece...... Then it's not the Four Emperors, it's not the Seven Martial Seas...... It's this man in front of you!"

That's right, Hawkeye is laughing!

"If the number one pirate in the world is Roger, the king of pirates...... So the world's number one pirate group...... It's the black flag fluttering in front of you......"

With Eagle Eye's words, Haben's eyes couldn't help but look at the pitch-black flag hanging on the other party's ship!

Suddenly, Haben seemed to think of ......

The legend he had always thought was nonsense......

"Got it, Pirates!It's your pleasure to see this guy on the sea again!"

Hawkeye lowered his body, and the muscles of his whole body were already tense!

……

"Po~"

I'm afraid the speed of breaking the sound barrier!

Hawkeye turned into a black line!

And the boat where Haben was was suddenly retreating under the reaction force!

……

"Whew~~" took a deep breath......

Helian Feng was standing on the surface of the sea, still with a smile on his face......

Looking at the rushing Eagle Eye, I took a deep breath!

……

“！”

It's also extremely fast!

Helian Feng suddenly rushed out!

"So...... What are you going to do next...... It's about living...... Then spread the word...... Announce to the whole Great Voyage! That guy is back!"

It was only then that Hawkeye's words reached Haben's ears......

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

PS: First Update...... I don't know if I can make a second watch...... Let's see again tomorrow morning at six o'clock......

As for Lelouch's question.

In our setting, Lelouch's body is actually semi-independent of time and the outside world.

Regardless of any damage, the body will revert to the moment it first became a Code host...... Therefore, there is no such thing as injury or death.

There is no such thing as a dead line.
