Pirate Wind Fruit

Chapter 246 Choice (4000)

Some people have already decided what kind of person they want to be in the future.

For example, some people choose to be an ordinary commoner, while others want to be aristocrats.

But some people choose to be a just navy and contribute to maintaining the peace of the whole world.

But some people want to go to sea to chase their own freedom, to be a free pirate.

And some people have made a choice before, but they have a second chance to make a choice, and they come to the crossroads of life again.

If you ask anyone in this world who is still hesitating and cares about, then the former admiral Aokiji definitely belongs to this rank.

Since the end of the Dingshang War, Admiral Sengoku proposed to Steel Gu Kong that he should step down as admiral of the navy.

And Garp wanted to peel off the skin of his body, and devoted most of his life to the justice in his heart. Now he is also tired, so he wants to leave here and go back to his hometown.

Karp's thinking is very simple. Through the war on the top, he knows which is more important, his relatives or the justice in his heart.

If, next time, his grandson or son appeared on the execution platform, he felt that he would react accordingly.

Therefore, after this incident happened, he was caught in a dilemma. On the one hand, he was happy that his two grandsons could leave here safely, and on the other hand, he was ashamed of the justice in his heart.

Therefore, he wanted to leave the navy completely and return to his hometown of Windmill to be an old man in retirement.

After Karp put forward the words in his heart, Steel Gukong, who is the commander of the three armies, knows how powerful the old man Garp is.

Therefore, he was naturally unwilling to let Karp leave to go back to the elderly. If Karp really left, it would be a big loss for the Navy.

In the end, after some discussion, Steel Gu Kong only agreed to let Garp take a back seat.

And the Marshal of the Warring States Period who is about to step down thinks that he has to pay most of the responsibility for the top war, so he will also retire as the Marshal of the Navy.

Steel Bone Kong knew that the navy suffered a lot in this top battle, so he didn't do anything to keep it, and let Sengoku and Garp retreat to the second line.

Sengoku, who resigned from the position of Marshal, recommended the candidate for the next Marshal, that is Admiral Aokiji!
Aokiji is a young man who is very optimistic about the Warring States period. He thinks that Aokiji will be the best candidate to be a marshal.

Steel Gu Kong has a different view on this. Instead, he thinks that Akainu, who is particularly radical and ruthless to pirates, is more suitable to be the admiral of the current navy.

There is a difference of opinion between the former admiral and the previous admiral, but there is only one admiral. Therefore, a battle between the calm and the radical is inevitable.

Since there are two candidates for admiral of the navy, the position of admiral can only be determined through a direct duel.

Among these two powerful generals, Akainu always disliked Aokiji.

The battle between the two generals was fierce, so they chose an uninhabited island named Punk Hazard as the place for the duel.

Eventually, a battle between generals broke out on Punk Hazard.

Because the strength of both sides is too strong, and the strength of both of them is almost at the same level.

Therefore, the two generals fought continuously for ten days and ten nights on Punk Hazard, and finally ended with Akainu winning.

Since then, the island has become two different scenes, one side is ice and snow, and the other side is billowing with flames.

Two different scenes exist on the same island at the same time.

Since then, the island has been listed as a restricted area for human life, and it is also known as the 'Island of Ice and Fire'! !

After the battle, Akainu became the admiral of the navy as a matter of course, but the defeated Aokiji disappeared from sight.

He never returned to Navy Headquarters.

The whereabouts of Aokiji has since become a mystery.

On the seas of the New World.

One group of pirates seems to be in trouble.

In an instant, the surging sea water in front of them was completely frozen.

The sea surface where the sailboat is advancing has been frozen into a thick layer of ice, making it impossible for the sailboat to move forward.

Seeing this scene, many pirates showed disbelief on their faces.

For the pirates who did not personally participate in the war on the top, this was the first time they saw this scene.

All the sea surface visible to their naked eyes was frozen into ice.

But Lyle and the others on the Pigeon knew that some important people might be coming here.

Just when the other pirates didn't know what was going on, some pirates found a tall man in casual clothes and round-frame sunglasses walking slowly on the ice.

He moved forward with both feet, and the pirates on the ship saw that the man passed their ship, and wanted to continue walking towards the small pirate ship.

The pirates on the two ships in front seemed to have seen the man's purpose.

They aimed their cannons at the man.

"Hey! What are you trying to do! Stop!"

"Stop quickly!"

"Hey! Do you know who this pirate flag belongs to?"

The pirates on the ship kept shouting, they wanted to stop that stupid man from moving on.

But their persuasion didn't seem to work, so they fired all the shells in their hands!
After being fired, the powerful bucky bomb immediately exploded violently! !

"Bang bang bang!!"

Puffs of black smoke rose from the ice, and standing on the deck they could feel a slight shock from their feet.

Just when the pirates thought they had dealt with that person and breathed a sigh of relief, they found a figure slowly walking out from the black smoke.

After seeing the man's back clearly, they knew that this man was the one they attacked just now.

This time, the faces of the pirates were full of shock.

"It's still not dead!?"

"After being hit by so many bucky bullets, he still didn't die!?"

"It's not that he didn't die, it seems that he didn't cause any harm to him at all!!"

"Where did this person come from??"

"What kind of monster is he! Stop him from moving forward!"

A captain of the pirate team jumped off the ice first, and then the other pirates on the ship jumped off the deck as if their blood had been spattered after hearing the words.

As more and more pirates jumped off the boat, the head of the man wearing sunglasses was slightly tilted back.

The expression on his face was full of doubts, he didn't know why so many pirates rushed towards him with unkind expressions on their faces.

Then, he raised his hand, and a wall of ice appeared out of thin air behind him!
This ice wall is the same as the ice surface that the pirates stepped on, and it is impossible to see where the end is at a glance.

"Hey, this...he made this ice?!"

"Those who can have this kind of strength..."

"Could it be...is..."

"It's the long-disappeared green pheasant!!"

"Why did the former admiral appear here?!"

……

The pirates who were isolated by Aokiji with an ice wall saw the man attack with their own eyes, so they finally recognized the man just now as the former Admiral Aokiji.

With such a big commotion in front, the pirates behind must have noticed it too.

As the captain, Lyall stood on the bow of the ship and saw this scene without saying a word.

And the ten cadres standing behind him also looked at the green pheasant walking on the ice.

And the further Aokiji advances, the more pirates will surround him.

Soon, his body was surrounded by pirates wearing black costumes and holding various weapons.

Although Aokiji used his devil fruit to isolate the pirate population of the two giant sailing ships, there are more than 1 pirates here.

Therefore, when Aokiji saw that he was surrounded by pirates, he took the initiative to stop.

He raised one finger and raised one side of the sunglasses, and looked at Lyle who was standing on the boat.

From the moment he stood, his eyes never left Lyle.

After a while, he turned his gaze back.

Then, he swept away the dozen or so people behind Lyle, and then stretched his waist and said indifferently:
"Ha! Don't you invite me to sit up?"

Seeing Aokiji's appearance, Lyle waved his hand, and the densely packed pirates took the initiative to give way to the Dove.

However, Aokiji didn't intend to take the path that the pirate gave up, and saw his body jump lightly, and jumped directly onto the Pigeon.

Then, without waiting for Lyle and the others to speak, he found a place to sit down on his own.

Lyle stepped forward and took a few steps, carefully observing the general in front of him.

Most of the cadres behind Lyle were nervous.

They didn't expect to meet the general on the way to defeat Kaido.

"Aha~"

Aokiji yawned, and then seemed to see the nervousness of the group of people, so he explained:
"Don't be nervous, don't be nervous! I didn't come to trouble you because..."

Aokiji paused for a few seconds when he said this, and then continued:
"Because I'm not a navy anymore! So I have no obligation to arrest you, don't worry."

Although Aokiji said so on the topic, no one let down their vigilance.

Besides, it is not known whether what Aokiji said is true or not.

Being in the position of admiral has already explained the belief in his heart, how can it be said that it is not appropriate to be a navy.

Seeing the suspicious pirates after listening to his speech, Aokiji quickly waved his hands and said:

"I did quit the Navy."

On the other hand, Lyle nodded seriously and asked him:

"Then you want to be a pirate?"

But Aokiji shook his head resolutely, and replied:
"Well! I don't want to be a pirate, but I want to change the behavior of this terrible world."

After hearing Aokiji's words, Lyle looked at his serious appearance and felt a little suspicious.

Does this guy want to develop towards the revolutionary army?

Lyle simply spread it out and asked directly:
"Then what are you doing with me?"

"Ah, I came here to cooperate with you. After all, after leaving the navy, I have no influence at all. It is difficult for me to change the world by myself."

Aokiji seemed to have prepared the answer long ago, after hearing Lyle's words, he answered without thinking.

"Then why did you come to us? The power of the Four Emperors in the New World is stronger than our pirate group, right?"

Lyall asked him again.

The situation in the world of Pirates is still relatively complicated.

Now there are not only four emperors in the new world, but also Lyle's team and some navies.

There are also some supernovas who are messing around all over the world and making troubles all the time.

Since the navy lost a lot of troops in the top war, pirates flooded into the sea like crazy.

However, the number of pirates around the world is still controlled within a certain range.

This is due to the lack of weapons, resulting in less destructive power of the pirates sailing at sea, and it also makes it easier for the navy to deal with these pirates.

Pirates have no weapons because the pirate's largest weapon supplier has disappeared.

Those large quantities of weapons also disappeared.

As a result, the circulation of weapons among pirates has been greatly reduced.

Even if the pirates want to go to sea, they are powerless.

"Because your demonstrated potential is far different from theirs."

Aokiji replied directly.

After hearing this, Lyle didn't feel any joy, and he continued to stare at Aokiji motionlessly.

Aokiji, who was a little uncomfortable being stared at by Lyle, lay down on his side and said again:

"There are several reasons why I approached you. For example, their ambitions are not big enough, and they are not easy to control. In addition, their strength is a bit terrifying. If I go to them to cooperate, they will not be able to put me in a cooperative position." position of the person.

So after much deliberation, I still think you are the most suitable. "

"So, you came to us because you saw that we were relatively weak?"

After hearing Aokiji's words, Lyle felt a little pricked, but the fact seemed to be like this.

"Yes."

Aokiji nodded seriously.

"Then cooperate! But before that, can you get your ice off?"

Lyle directly decided that he would reach a cooperative relationship with Aokiji for the time being.

"Hmm... ice? Ah, I can't thaw that one."

After hearing Lyle's nodding in agreement, Aokiji acted calmly, but when he heard Lyle's next words, he froze for a moment.

He has no way to dissolve the ice, but when he saw Ace behind Lyle, he was pointed at him and said:
"Isn't there a little brother behind you who can breathe fire? Let him open the way."

"What! You bastard, why did you freeze this sea!!"

After hearing Aokiji's understatement and dragging him to work as a coolie, the irritable Ace couldn't bear it all of a sudden, and pointed at Aokiji and cursed.

In the end, he was held back by Dino and Cahill.

Otherwise, they were really afraid that Ace would suddenly attack.

Let Aokiji doze off on the deck, it seems that he doesn't plan to leave for a while.

However, this is also good, if they can follow Lyle and the others to Ghost Island, they will definitely be able to kick Lyle and the others to increase their combat power.

Soon, the sailboat under Lyle's feet began to move again.

It's because Ace used his fire fist to open a passage on the ice that is big enough for a sailboat to sail.
