Chapter 11: The Wind Rises Dressrosa (Ask for Recommendation Votes!) )
Halfway through the voyage, and the silhouette of Dressrosa could already be seen from the bow deck, Aix once again gathered his team for an in-cabin meeting.
"Again, I've been driving eight times in the past few days......"
With countless complaints, the crowd dragged themselves and reluctantly gathered again. Not to mention the newcomers Califa and Bruno, even Robin and Little Brynn, who have always been steadfast in their support for their brother, can't bear it......
"I repeat once again, this mission is very dangerous, everyone must put their personal safety first!"
Aix tapped the blackboard.
"I see, especially to avoid being touched by a little girl dressed in a bear children's costume called Sucrose, otherwise she will only be forgotten and turned into a toy and enslaved...... We definitely take it to heart! ”
Brynn was the first to answer.
"That's right! Only by protecting yourself can you better complete the task! Aix praised, "The next thing is the assignment after arriving at Dressrosa, Bruno and Califa are in a group, Erin and Yazawa Nicole are in a group, and I am in a separate group, first go separately to find out the news, mainly to find out the terrain of Dressrosa and the distribution of forces in the underground dark world......"
"But be careful to avoid contact with members of the Don Quixote family as much as possible, and if you really can't avoid it, the personnel who can come into contact will be given priority to act according to the instructions in the action manual I sent you!"
Aix held a thick copy of the "Dressrosa Raiders" that he had personally sorted out, and emphasized in an accentuated tone.
"The first phase of the investigation lasted for three days, and at ten o'clock in the evening after tomorrow, we will gather at the location marked in the manual I wrote to exchange information, and then carry out the next phase of operational arrangements, have you heard clearly?"
"Understood!"
"Okay, adjourn!"
There was a round of applause in the cabin, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that I was finally about to get there, let me go on a mission, I don't want to listen to the captain's nagging anymore!
"Bruno, how do you feel about Captain Ash after a few days together?"
After the meeting was dismissed, Califa went to the room where Bruno was.
"It feels completely different from Boss Lucky's style."
"Yes, Boss Luffie has always focused on completing tasks, and has long left his personal life and death behind......" Kalifa's expression was complicated, "Bruno, I'm really afraid that my position will become unfirm after this mission with Captain Ash, and I always feel ashamed of Boss Luffie......"
"Why bother so much?" Bruno sighed, "Just let it be." ”
"What's more, doesn't Captain Ash have a lot of shortcomings, doesn't he?"
"If he had stopped talking so much, I would have had a better impression of him......" Kalifa smiled.
At a casual glance, she found that there was also a faint smile in Bruno's eyes, and sure enough, everything was not in words...... Neither of them noticed that not far from their feet, a tiny ear had turned into a petal and dissipated.
"Robin, this ability of yours is simply born to be a spy in CP9."
In Robin's room, Aix praised Robin's fruit abilities with satisfaction.
Through Robin's eavesdropping ears formed by Flower's abilities, all of Califa's conversations and whereabouts with Bruno are under his Aix's control. Through the surveillance, Aix was pleasantly surprised to find that the two of them had significantly improved their attitude towards him, especially Luki's number one fan sister Kalifa!
It seems that the ideological work I have carried out these days has been quite good!
"Don't compliment me, I was supposed to help me find clues about Saulo and interpret the text of history, but now I am miserable under your hands as a tool to spy on others......"
"Hehehe......" Aix smiled awkwardly, his eyes flickered, and he quickly found a reason, "Isn't this also helping you develop your fruit abilities, and isn't team harmony more conducive to achieving your goals?" ”
"Okay, don't be poor, since there's nothing to do, get out quickly," Robin lifted his forehead and sighed helplessly, "You're going to teach little Bryne bad......ly if you keep running into my room."
Thinking of that cute little Lori, Robin unconsciously exuded a kind maternal radiance, like an old hen guarding a calf: "I always feel that she looks at the two of us strangely, as if she has misunderstood something...... Before she becomes an adult, she must set an example and set a correct three views for her! ”
"Is she my sister or your sister......"
Aix muttered a few words under his breath.
"Don't worry, there is nothing between us, I know the best about Brynn, and there is no problem at all!" Aix patted his chest and beat the package ticket.
"That's good."
"Okay, I won't bother you anymore, I'm going to start the mission after a little rest, remember to help me take little Brynn when the time comes!"
"Don't worry, I value ...... more than you"
"And ...... Thank you. Looking at the back of Ax pushing the door and leaving, Robin whispered a belated and impossible thank you to Ax in person, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and her smile bloomed, like a peach blossom on her face.
"You're welcome ......"
How could Ax, who has seen and heard domineering, not hear Robin's murmuring?
He responded silently in his heart, shook his head, and strode forward, leaving only a dashing back......
Dressrosa, a resort-like "land of love, passion and toys". Today, the island welcomed two groups of uninvited guests.
Whether it was the team led by Ax or the team led by Luci, they did not choose to land from the port in a bright way, but chose a remote corner to smuggle ashore and enter the country where this man and toys coexist.
Aix was walking alone on Lovers' Avenue, feeling the sour smell of love in the air.
"Tut-tut, this is youth!"
Aix couldn't help but sigh.
He also teased with interest a few toys walking down the street, which, as a traveler, were once the people who rebelled against Doflamingo, and that they represented the deepest darkness of the country.
"Okay, it's time to get down to business, you can't be compared to the team members as the captain at that time, right?"
Putting away his playfulness, Aix made his way to a bar, one of Dressrosa's more famous places for exchanging information, where the back door was said to connect to Dressrosa's underground dark world.
"What would you like to have a drink, gentleman?"
As soon as Aix took his seat, a bartender came to greet the customer.
"I'm going to ...... Wait, did I see you somewhere? ”
Ax carefully looked at the waiter in front of him, he was not too tall, with a rabbit hairband on his chestnut mushroom head, round facial features, and very smart eyes, at first glance, he was a lively and energetic girl.
The familiar look and timbre made Ax feel as if he had seen her recently......
"Let me think, you ......"
"Sir, I was the one who received you when you bought an old hen in the capital of seven waters a few days ago!"
"Oh yes, yes, yes!"
Aix remembered that it seemed that this girl was selling vegetables in the vegetable market of the Seven Waters Capital at the time, but why did she run to Dressrosa to work as a barmaid now?
Aix was confused......
