Chapter 59: The Old Father's Test
"Oh my God..."
"The whole city, no! Even the sea has been—"
Whether it is the capital of the seven waters, or the giant tsunami that requires the people of the entire capital of the seven waters to take refuge, 'Yakua Raganna', who is known as the god of water, has only room to bow down in front of the admiral. The entire turbulent and undulating sea turned into a flying iceberg, adding a small shock to the appearance of the visitors.
At least Nami and Chopper were so surprised that they covered their mouths with their hands, and even Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji were all serious.
"General Kuzan!"
Brigadier General Sicily, who had been protecting the mayor of the Seven Waters City, Esbagu, first stepped forward with a military salute, and then turned his head to look at the three CP9 agents on the other side, such as Lu Qi and the others who were facing the enemy, as well as Luffy and the others with shocked faces.
"Let's go!"
In the face of the admiral, Lu Qi had no intention of fighting at all.
They are only cp9, not cp0. What's more, even in CP0, there are very few who dare to confront the highest combat power of the navy.
Brush ————
Using the shaving moment to rush in front of the already unconscious Bruno, Lu Qi picked up the companion's head and fled at high speed without looking back, and even used the 'razor' technique! And Kaku, who was already scarred, and Kalifa, who was pulling with Nami, naturally had no desire to continue fighting, and also kept using shaves to escape quickly.
"Oops, they escaped."
The admiral 'Pheasant', who grabbed his hair, spoke lazily, anyway, the only person present was the Sicilian Commodore who knew him very well. This junior is a person from Kuzan, and the mayor of the City of Seven Waters, Esbagu, is a smart person who can't talk nonsense, so the only thing left is:
"Well, what should I say... Monchi D. Luffy. ”
Turning his head to look at Luffy, the pheasant directly called out Luffy's full name.
Others may not know Luffy's identity, but how can Pheasant not know?
Luffy and the others went in and out of the naval base, and the captured pirates were exchanged for bounties not once or twice, and even uncovered the conspiracy of Klockdahl, one of the 'Seven Martial Seas', and drove the sand crocodile out of his lair. Such a rising star, if the top brass of the Navy does not know, then it is called a ghost.
"If you join the Navy, you should be able to start as a colonel, right?"
This is not to say that the navy is 'cronyism', but with Luffy's strength, if he starts from a third class, it will be an insult!
You must know that in the original timeline, the world government directly promoted two generals with a big conscription, and before Fuji Tiger and Green Bull, they were not even civilians in the navy.
"It's nice to be a bounty hunter, but—"
Pheasant stretched out his index finger and pointed at Robin, whose expression had tensed since he appeared, and his body couldn't help but tremble.
"Nicole Robin is a woman who was offered a bounty of 79 million Berry at the age of 8, known as 'O'Hara's Demon'. Well, because I found out, you don't have a bounty this time..."
"Wait!!"
Luffy stood in front of Robin with an angry face.
"Robin is my friend, if you try to arrest her, I'll beat you up!"
···
"Well, you're Vice Admiral Karp's grandson, and I'm Admiral. Is there a mistake in throwing a fist at me for a bounty? ”
"It's you who made the mistake!"
Luffy, who had a serious face, faced the admiral without fear.
"I don't know what crime an 8-year-old can commit and a 79 million berry is offered, and Robin I know is by no means a criminal!"
"Do you think so?"
There was no expression on his face, but in the perception of Rosie, who was eating melons and watching the play, the pheasant's mood was very good.
"But you know that this woman will be used by any means as long as someone takes her in, and after being betrayed, she will run away, and she has survived by this way of seeing the wind and steering the rudder, and so far, all the organizations that have been involved with her..."
After speaking, the pheasant took a step forward, although his expression was still lazy, but the domineering spirit of the general level rose up, mixed with the wind and snow roaring across the sky and sea, which was even more terrifying.
"All perished!"
"Only this woman survived, and you were only chosen by her..."
"Shut up!"
"It was before, it's now!!"
The pheasant, who was interrupted by Luffy's anger again, was not annoyed, but just sighed with a strange emotion:
"So you're all so acquainted..."
"That's enough, Admiral."
Zoro walked up with twin knives in his hand and stood side by side with Luffy and Robin.
"If Nicole Robin had committed any crime, those of us who spent the day and night wouldn't have gone unnoticed. Now please leave, right now! ”
"There are so many crimes that anyone can list if you want to list, and I don't think Miss Robin is a criminal."
Lighting a cigarette, Sanji, who was once a prince, knows very well about those in power playing with the law.
"Mr. General, you don't believe in the idea that 'I am the righteous', right?"
"That's right, whoever doubts, who adduces!"
Nami, who was carrying a giant axe, also stepped forward, although she was technically a second-generation sea with 'roots and seedlings', but she didn't need to think about it at all to choose between the navy and her partner.
"I don't think Sister Robin is a criminal either, Mr. General, if you insist on arresting Sister Robin, please give us reasons that we can't refute!"
"And me~~"
Chopper, who maintained a burly figure, was also brave in the face of the terrifying man in front of him,
"I don't know much about the law, but I don't allow others to bully Sister Robin!"
···
Seeing Luffy and the others standing next to him angrily, Robin, who had been trembling since the pheasant appeared, felt a warm current spread from his heart. clenched his fist vigorously, then let go of his hand, and the whole person calmed down inexplicably.
That's right, I already have a real partner, even if I die because of it, I am satisfied.
"Luffy, Nami, Zoro, Sanji, Chopper,"
"I'm not going to leave alone again, so this time, let's-"
Life and death together!
Seeing that even Robin was in a fighting posture and appeared to play the 'villain' Pheasant's expression without waves, but a hint of relief flashed in his eyes.
The relationship between Pheasant and Robin starts with the 'O'Hara Incident' more than ten years ago. Although in Robin's eyes, Pheasant is the murderer who destroyed her hometown and killed her first friend: the giant lieutenant general Saulo; But in the eyes of the pheasant, Robin is the little girl entrusted to him by his friends, and she is simply a 'daughter'-like character.
That's right!
In fact, the pheasant has been secretly protecting Robin, otherwise an 8-year-old girl can repeatedly escape the pursuit of the CP agency? Always able to save the day? And the pirates and underground forces that use her will soon be approached by the navy to kill them, and they don't need to ask to know who is the one who attacked.
In the original timeline, the Straw Hats who had just returned from the Sky Island immediately met the pheasant on the desert island,—— how could there be any fateful arrangement, but after an old father saw and heard it, he immediately came all the way to investigate his daughter's life.
Now, it's the same.
"I advise you to give up on this woman, for your own good."
Although his heart was full of 'old father's comfort', the cold pheasant on the surface grabbed it casually, and condensed the whistling ice crystals into a long knife.
"Ice Saber!"
"Otherwise, I will arrest you for obstructing the official duties of the Navy, Luffy, you don't want to meet your grandfather in prison, do you?"
?!
"Don't be long-winded, I won't let you take Robin!"
As Luffy launched a charge, the capital of the seven waters, which had just ended a battle, the battle at the headquarters of Carrera's company was ignited again, and even the wind and snow had to bypass this area.
】
"Everyone!"
Luffy and Sanji's sights and smells have already started. Even if the others hadn't fully grasped what they had seen and heard, their creatures' instincts still let them know that the admiral in front of them was an unprecedentedly formidable enemy. So there is no need to talk about any rules, side by side!
Just when the pheasant, who conjured up an ice blade, and Luffy and the others were in a ping pong battle, Rosie, who was paying attention to the battlefield, couldn't help but want to yawn.
Drain the water··· No, this is already a release from the sea.
Although Luffy can scare away CP9's Fozzy Fer, and Zoro can tie with Lucci, and his strength is not bad, but the strength is based on comparison.
Compared to the two-color domineering pheasant, whose fruit ability has been developed to the point where it can easily freeze the sea, Luffy is still too tender.
didn't get killed by a single move, it was just the pheasant playing with them.
————
A few minutes later,
"Whew... Whew..."
For Luffy and the others in the battle, just a few minutes almost felt like years. The other party is too strong! Everyone has heavy ice crystals hanging everywhere, and if it weren't for the guidance of Rosie, who strengthened a lot of physique with the Life Return Eating Edition, they would have been unable to bear it a long time ago.
"You guys, that's good."
Although it is a release of water, it can last for a few minutes, and it is enough for the pheasant to look at Luffy and a few people, and the more he looks at it, the more he likes it.
"Give up this woman and join the Navy. I can let you start straight with the officer—"
"Shut up!!"
"The navy that gave up its partners? Not even pirates! ”
In the face of Luffy's reprimand, the pheasant's face remained unchanged, but he was thinking in his heart:
How to end appropriately.
He wasn't prepared to do anything with Luffy and the others, after all, Karp used to be his old boss and a person that Pheasant respected very much. Besides, Luffy has been arresting bounties since he went to sea, and he has been clearing up all the places he has passed.
The work efficiency is higher than that of the navy, and the marshals of the Warring States period jokingly call the team of bounty hunters led by Luffy the '17th branch of the navy'. The pheasant came this time just to test Luffy if they really accepted Robin. - To put it simply, the old father is a son-in-law.
Just when the pheasant wanted to find a reason to leave, Luffy, who was already tired and out of breath, suddenly changed his temperament.
?!
syllable
"What's the point of bullying juniors, come and play with me."
A finger landed on the pheasant's shoulder from behind, which was not an attack for the pheasant, but the most important thing was -
Render the sky as black as ink, and the sea as red as blood! The familiar black and red aura came overwhelmingly from behind him, making the pheasant cold at the same time, almost subconsciously turning around, and waving one hand at the same time. The water molecules in the surrounding air instantly solidified, shaped, and covered with the top armed color domineering, like a phoenix with wings spread, crystal clear, and its minions were indestructible!
"Ice Cube, Pheasant Beak!!"
