Vice Captain of One Piece

Chapter 107 Five years later, the old enemy meets again

As if he felt someone hit him, the man lifted his blindfold and glanced lazily at Chopper lying on the ground, "Huh?? Tanuki??"

"I'm a reindeer!!!" Chopper regained his composure instantly and pointed at his horn angrily, "Look! This is a horn!!"

"What happened??" Zoro and Sanji, who threw all the food on their backs on the ground, ran over first.

"Who are you?" The man looked suspiciously at the few people who suddenly appeared.

Then came Usopp and Nami, Usopp looked at the man in surprise and asked, "Who is that tall guy?"

At this time, when Robin, who came running last, saw the man's face, his face turned pale in horror, his eyes were full of fear, and after a few steps back trembling, he sat on the ground with weak legs and watched the man constantly Trembling, cold sweat slowly covered her face, it seemed that this man was the source of her fear.

Luffy, who heard the voice, protected Encore with one hand, turned his head to look at the terrified Robin: "Robin?".Sauron, on the other hand, pulled out the knife slightly and looked at the man warily.

Sanji asked worriedly: "Miss Robin, what's wrong with you?"

"Why are you so scared, Robin??" Seeing Robin's frightened look, Usopp was also sweating nervously.

"Robin..." Nami and Chopper also looked at her worriedly, and then at the man with the blindfold on his head, not knowing what happened.

And Anke tightly grasped the hem of Lu Fei's clothes, looking at the enemy who was an acquaintance.Feeling the pull of his clothes, Lu Fei lowered his head in doubt. When he saw the vigilance clearly visible in the eyes of Enke who was still smiling sweetly, a vague understanding flashed across his heart. This person... is an enemy, and he is still very strong. enemy.

"Ah la la~~ Don't be so murderous, buddy~ I didn't come here after receiving some order," the man waved his hand lazily, looked up at the sunny sky and said, "It's just that the weather is very Okay, I just came here for a walk~~
Still vigilantly holding the sword ready to be unsheathed at any time, Sauron looked at the man coldly and said, "What is an order? What is your organization?"

Robin, who was trying to calm down a bit, explained without any ups and downs: "He is a navy, and he is also the admiral of the navy headquarters known as the world government's strongest combat power, Qingzhi..."

Luffy's whole body tensed up when he heard the word 'general', and he stretched out his hand to firmly protect Anke behind him, preventing Qingzhi from seeing her face at all.And Anke, who already knew that he couldn't escape this time, just clung to the hem of the person in front of him, and rubbed his back reluctantly, wondering how many more chances like this would be left after this day...

"General?" Sanji looked at him vigilantly, biting his cigarette, "How capable is this guy?"

"In the navy, there are only three people with the rank of general: Red Dog, Yellow Monkey, and Qingzhi, and the one who stands above them is Admiral Sengoku..." Robin explained with a pale face, "This man is the man who is called One of the three major combat forces of the world government..."

"Ahh~ You really have grown into a smart woman, Nico Robin..." Looking at Robin, Qingzhi showed a smile of unknown meaning, and then looked coldly at Luffy who was hiding behind Luffy. The little figure said, "Also, can you let me see the real face of that cute little girl~~ The fluttering hair reminds me a little of my old friend~"

"No!" Luffy, who categorically refused, just put Encore behind him and took a few steps back, while Zoro put his hand on the hilt of his sword and stood in front of them. With a cigarette between his fingers, he said with a smile: "We can't do it by asking the lovely deputy captain to meet the strange uncle of unknown origin..."

After looking at them, Qingzhi's eyes suddenly focused on Nami: "Ah la la~ There is also a lady who is fascinated by you, are you free tonight?"

Hearing the sound of tense nerves breaking instantly, Sanji yelled at the frivolous young boy with his fangs: "What are you doing, you stinky tall man!! Listen to others!!"

"Wait, wait, I can't stand you guys. Didn't I just say that I just came here for a walk..." Qing Zhi rubbed her chin and said distressedly: "Besides, you are just that, that... …right……"

Chopper tilted his head in doubt: "What is it?"

Qingzhi scratched her head and thought for a while, then said: "I forgot, forget it..."

"Don't be vague!!" Sanji roared angrily again.And I pointed at Qingzhi and asked loudly: "Who is this guy? Robin, did you recognize the wrong person?? This kind of person can't be an admiral at all!?"

"Hey, how can you judge people like this?" Qingzhi continued to lazily correct Usopp's words, "My purpose as an admiral is to implement lazy righteousness~~ Anyway, it's just...forget it, I'm a little rude, I I'm a little tired from standing..." After waving at Luffy and the others, Qingzhi lay down on the ground, put his suit jacket on the grass, and yawned comfortably with his hands on his head.

"Sure enough, he's lazy enough. I only had contact with him for about half a day during the war before, but this man's current strength cannot be ignored. Although he may not be my opponent yet, he is..." He poked his head out and looked Glancing at Qingzhi, and seeing that he was sizing up his eyes while looking lazy, Anke put his head back again.

"In a word, I'm not here to arrest you, so you can rest assured~~" After looking at them, Qingzhi looked at Robin who was still sitting on the ground and said: "A small part of the purpose is to confirm It's just the news of Nico Robin who disappeared after the Alabasta incident. It seems that she is with you as I expected. But I still need to report to the headquarters, plus her After being alone, the total reward amount has changed, depending on how much..."

"What a lazy person..." Seeing the person who seemed to have no malicious intentions, Sanji slightly lowered his vigilance.And Usopp also agreed: "His appearance that doesn't take people seriously is still a general in a sense.
"... 6600 million, plus 7 million, plus 9 million, plus... is..." Qingzhi counted for a long time, pinching her fingers, and finally gave up the calculation with a headache: "Forget it, I don’t know, let’s just…”

"However, did you just say that coming here to find Robin is only a small part of the reason, so what is the main reason?" Nami suddenly asked nervously: "Didn't you just say that you won't arrest us?"

"Ah, this, I said at the beginning that I won't arrest you, but if I come here to confirm that matter," Qingzhi paused, then looked at Luffy, exactly the person behind Luffy , and continued to lazily say: "It's better for you to die here..."

"Huh?? What did you say??" Usopp and Chopper yelled in unison: "Didn't you say you wouldn't arrest us at first?"

"Ah, that, what I said was that if I didn't prove that matter, I would indeed not arrest you, but I didn't say that I wouldn't kill you here, and..." Immediately, Qingzhi sat up slowly and looked at them Said: "The first small reason to kill you is that although the government doesn't pay much attention to you now, but after thinking about your experience, you find that you all have a lot of backbone. But you dangerous people gathered together , it will become more and more troublesome in the future. From the beginning of wanting you to what you are doing now, such a growth rate, although I have been dealing with some lawless people for a long time, I still feel that your future will be very bright horrible……

"The second small part of the reason why I feel dangerous is you, Nico Robin. The amount of the bounty offered does not only indicate the strength of the person offering the bounty, but also the degree of threat to the government of that person, so You became a 8 million bounty criminal at the age of 7900. Although you were only a child, you survived cleverly, betrayed and fled, fawned on others and used others, and survived in the dark society with your witty mind You, the hiding place you chose this time is this group of people, right?"

Hearing this sentence, Robin's pupils dilated slightly, and he looked at Qingzhi in panic.And Sanji said angrily: "You boy, don't say such infuriating words! Do you have any grudges with Miss Robin?"

"I don't have hatred, but if you want to talk about friendship..." Qingzhi said lightly: "I let her escape once, that was in the past. You will know right away, and soon you will find out because of such a person around you." The best proof is that Qingzhi stood up slowly, put the suit jacket on her shoulders and said, "So far, as long as it is related to Nico Robin, all the obstacles have been destroyed. , only this woman survived, why is that, Nico Robin?"

"Shut up, bastard! The past was the past. The present is the present!" Luffy, who had been silent all the time, shouted loudly, his left hand still tightly protecting Encore behind his back.

Usopp also loudly chimed in: "That's right! If you mention the past, there is still a pirate hunter and a female thief on our ship!!" As soon as he finished speaking, Nami knocked him hard punch.

Sanji also said lightly: "Compared to before, now is the most important thing..."

"That's right!!" Chopper also cheered loudly: "Now Robin is our most important partner!! Don't speak ill of our partner!!"

Hearing Sanji and the others defending themselves one by one, Robin pursed his lips tightly and said nothing, just stood up and bit his lips and looked at Qingzhi.

Qingzhi nodded understandingly and said: "So that's the case, it seems that you have a deep friendship with them..."

"What the hell are you trying to say?? If you want to grab me, don't you just do it?" The pale-faced Robin crossed his hands, "Thirty rounds of flowers blooming!!" The hands that grew out of the ground and Qingzhi's body Wrapped all over his body.Qingzhi, who didn't care, just said with a regretful face: "Ah Lala, I thought you were a smart woman, it seems that I really overestimated you..."

"Hook claw!" Robin just clenched his fist, grabbed Qing Zhi's hand and suddenly pressed Qing Zhi back, Qing Zhi's whole body suddenly turned into pieces of white ice and shattered on the ground.

Not noticing the unnaturalness there, Chopper screamed: "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

However, apart from Robin and Anke, who knew Qingzhi's ability long ago, Luffy and the others all opened their mouths in surprise, watching Qingzhi, who was shattered into shattered ice, slowly reunite his body, and stood up unscathed .

"How is this possible??" Usopp yelled as he ran around in fear, "Run away, everyone!!!"

Robin, still crossing his hands, said tremblingly: "He is a user with the ability to freeze fruit, and he is a naturalist..."

Qingzhi, who didn't fight back, just stretched and said: "Calm down, didn't you say it at first? Nico Robin is only a small part of the reason, and I will kill him only after that incident is confirmed." You guys, don't be so anxious now..."

"Indeed, you have been saying from the very beginning that our danger is one of the minor reasons, and Robin's danger is also a minor reason, then..." Saito, who was still holding his sword cautiously, looked at him calmly, "Your main What's the reason? It can't be that walking is so ridiculous, right?"

"Ah la la, this little pirate brother is quite smart, so, now everyone take a break and let me explain the reason. It will take time to explain clearly to you little ghosts who have been kept in the dark ..." After speaking, Qingzhi continued to sit cross-legged on the ground and began to search for something in his suit jacket pocket, while searching for something while muttering distressedly, "I seem to have brought it..."

Robin, who still hadn't calmed down, was taken a little farther away by Nami. After all, the general seemed to really not care about Robin's attack this time, but it's better to be careful.And Usopp and Chopper also retreated, Luffy still firmly hid Encore behind, although his thin body couldn't stop too much, Zoro and Sanji stood at the front and watched there. Childish looking at things.

Qing Zhi, who was still trying to find something, asked, "Speaking of which, you are all about 17 or 18 years old now. I wonder what impressed you the most between the ages of 10 and 12?"

"Is it time to remember???" Sanji, who couldn't help but explode, roared angrily: "What is your purpose??"

"Yeah, yeah?" Usopp raised his hand behind and shouted, "If it's okay, go back to the headquarters!!"

"Calm down first." Sauron, who knew that the general would not leave easily today, just interrupted them and asked calmly, "Is it related to your main purpose today?"

"Ah, that's right." Qing Zhi, who was looking for something, paused, and glanced lightly at the strands of long hair exposed behind Luffy: "I don't know, have you heard of the word 'Bloodthirsty Witch'? What about words? When you are about 10 to 12 years old, this name is the most frequently occurring word in the world, even a doll who has just started talking knows it..."

"Bloodthirsty... witch..." repeated the word unconsciously. After Sauron and the others glanced at each other, they all saw similar emotions in other people's eyes. It was an emotion similar to fear and disgust. .Luffy and Robin, who knew it earlier, just bowed their heads in silence, and Anke just smiled habitually and innocently, but the hand holding the hem of Luffy's clothes unconsciously tightened a little, and then let go, "The target is indeed Me, Lieutenant General Kuzan...'

And Chopper, who has been living on Winter Island without knowing the outside situation, asked blankly: "Who is the bloodthirsty witch? Is it a doctor like Dr. Kuleha? The island is called a witch)"

"No, Chopper, that's a..." Sanji thought for a while and came up with an exact adjective, "A devil from hell, I heard that she is a devil who kills without blinking an eye. The newspapers have been reporting it for two years Seeing how many villages she destroyed, how many navy pirates or civilians she killed..."

"Well, I have been hearing about her for two years after I was 10, but after the government announced her death after I was 12, all the news about her disappeared, and I couldn't even find a reward order. Later, after some new things appeared, I kind of forgot about it, because too few people mentioned it..." Nami nodded, recalling that although it was dusty in the past, it is now because of Qingzhi's reminder. The memory became extremely clear, and he said with a pale face: "And what impressed me the most is that she was only 10 years old when she was offered a bounty by the navy. The bounty was..."

"1000 million Baileys..." Sauron took the topic lightly, "That is a number that can drive the world's pirate hunters crazy, but I heard that many people think that the bounty is a bit too much. not enough……"

"1000... [-] million... [-] million Baileys is less???" Chopper shouted dumbfounded, thumping his hooves, "She's even higher than Luffy's bounty!! And she's still a ten-year-old The child?? Hundreds of millions?? A lie???”

"It's not a lie, Chopper," Usopp said tremblingly, thinking of the past, "The photos of her in newspapers and reward orders are super scary, her face is covered in blood, and she is not human at all. Moreover, The most prominent thing is that her left eye is blood red, but it possesses a terrifying ability, as if it can send people to hell at will..."

"Ah!!!!" Chopper, who was so scared that he immediately hugged Usopp's thigh, burst into tears in fear: "Stop talking!! Usopp! So scary, so scary!!!"

"Yeah," Sanji nodded and said, "The photos on the reward order and in the newspapers are usually blood-stained, and it is impossible to see what she looks like. But the most impressive thing is her eyes, which are very big. It's very gloomy. There are different pupils on the left and right, the right eye is normal purple, and the left eye is blood red, and there are black numbers in the pupils, as if the numbers can be different..."

"Different pupils?? Numbers??" Chopper, who was still clutching Usopp in fear, asked tremblingly, "However, heterochromia is simply two eyes with different colors, and it is impossible for numbers to appear in the pupils." of!"

"I told you that it's not a disease, Chopper!" Usopp explained, "It's an eye that is not human at all, and that girl got a powerful ability that is different from ordinary people because of that eye, and she She likes to kill, that's why the government wanted her! And it is said that when she was 12 years old, nearly 1 sailors and five lieutenant generals were sent to hunt her down. When she died, the whole world celebrated! I remember our village Everyone here has been happy for a long time..."

"Usopp!!" Luffy suddenly interrupted Usopp loudly, then glanced at him blankly, then continued to look silently at Qingzhi who seemed to have found what he wanted.And Usopp, who yelled for no reason, looked at Luffy suspiciously, then wanted to say something but seemed to forget to say something.

And Anke, who had been listening to them in silence, just leaned against Luffy's back a little helplessly, a trace of tiredness flashed in his eyes, which was the tiredness of life, "Sure enough, no matter how much time has passed, the horror in this eye is still there. It cannot be forgotten.It seems that even if you put in a lot of effort, there is no way to erase my existence from people's fearful hearts, Mr. Garp...'

"Is she dead?" Chopper breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably, after all, this was the first time he had heard of such a terrifying person.

"That's right." Throwing the found newspaper and a reward order to Sanji at the front, Qingzhi, who was still sitting on the ground, explained lightly: "This is her reward order and the news about her death five years ago." Please take your time to read the newspaper, I will explain after a break..."

Glancing at Qing Zhi who lay down and started to take a nap again, Sanji began to carefully look at the newspaper in his hand: "Speaking of which, since she was declared dead by the government five years ago, it seems that she hasn't seen her reward order and It’s related news, no wonder I’ve forgotten it now. But even now her eyes look scary, even though she looks like a cute little lady from the outline~~”

"Please, [-] elite soldiers plus five lieutenant generals, even if she has the ability to reach the sky, she can't escape?!" Walking forward and leaning over to look at the newspaper Sanji was holding, Nami frowned and said: "And Didn't the papers say she died in that war? And the Navy didn't lose a single soldier..."

Qing Zhi, who was taking a nap, said lazily: "Actually, I was also one of the lieutenant generals who participated in that war. And the current general Huang Yuan was also one of the lieutenant generals who participated in the war..."

"Look!" Nami pointed at the lazy guy and said, "The two generals are both participants today, so it's hard for her to fly even if she has wings!"

Qingzhi continued to talk about the situation back then: "However, when the war started, a lieutenant general left with his two warships..."

"Even so, there are still four lieutenant generals and a bunch of sailors. It's impossible to lose." Nami pointed to the newspaper and said, "The newspapers said that the navy won..."
