Ultimate Blade Shadow in One Piece Navy

After hearing what Brooke said, Katakuri blinked and began to think. Brooke's decision to forge a sword would indeed solve this problem.

But making a sword means uncertainty. After all, no swordsmith can pat his chest and say that every sword he makes is of perfect quality and is incomparably suitable for the user.

If Brooke's requirements are higher and he is pickier, he may need to build several swords before he can choose the one that suits him best.

The time during this period was difficult to control, but Katakuri did not worry for too long. After all, time was not a problem. He had been unable to wait for so many years, so there was no shortage of time.

What's more, he also needs time to solve the first question raised by Brooke, how to identify two souls, which one is his mother's soul. This is... too difficult.

Xiong, who had been watching without saying a word, suddenly said: "I can help ask Dr. Vegapunk to see if he has any ideas in this regard."

Hearing this, Katakuri looked quickly, looking at the bear with gratitude and confusion. The gratitude was because the bear himself had nothing to do with this matter and there was no need to participate, but he chose to help, and the same was true for the confusion.

There is no need for Xiong to participate in this matter, because even if he is just watching, Katakuri will not think there is a problem. In fact, it is normal for him to watch, but participating is... abnormal.

After hearing what the bear said, Skyler also looked at him, but Skyler had no doubts. She probably guessed that the reason why the bear got involved was for... a greater benefit.

Katakuri was originally an important target among the targets of the revolutionary army. After all, he was the king of the sea and controlled all nations.

Although the Revolutionary Army had cooperated with Katakuri before, that time, it was more of a cooperation of interests and did not really touch Katakuri personally.

Therefore, perhaps the Revolutionary Army is not sure how Katakuri will view that cooperation. After all, their interests are not equal.

The revolutionary army provided manpower and money, but Katakuri only took out some islands and built a shipyard in the waters of Totland. If Katakuri wanted to go back on his word one day, he would not have any regrets. loss.

After all, the shipbuilder is now on his territory, the factory is on his territory, and even the raw material forest is on his territory. Katakuri wants to monopolize it, and the revolutionary army has no means of resistance.

Therefore, the Revolutionary Army wants to strengthen cooperation with Katakuri, at least to make Katakuri thank them from the bottom of his heart.

Katakuri is an emotional person. He has been favored by Whitebeard, so from the beginning to the end of today's war, he has never made a move against the Whitebeard Pirates.

Not to mention that he had been running for so many years to save his mother, and he even did not hesitate to cooperate with the navy as a pirate. Even though he had become the king of the sea, he did not break the agreement.

This kind of person is suitable to be a friend, but it is difficult for interests to trap him. Therefore, he must be bound by feelings, friendship, and kindness. Participating in Charlotte Lingling's rescue plan is undoubtedly the best way. method.

Skyler offered to help. Although she didn't specifically think so, Garp said back then that it was a stupid decision for Dorag to cooperate with the Sea King, and Skyler also wanted to help Dolag.

Therefore, her motivation is actually no different from Xiong's motivation. In the final analysis, they are both for the revolutionary cause.

Skyler thought about this clearly and said at the right time: "Xiong, are you... involved in Vegapunk's soul research?"

Hearing Skyler's question, Xiong looked over, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, then nodded with an open-minded expression, and said: "I don't have long to live, but I want to continue to live, so..."

The bear didn't say it completely, but just touched on it. When Katakuri heard the words, he roughly guessed something. He could also see that the bear's life was about to come to an end.

Although the bear is still strong, he feels like an old man who is about to die. He no longer feels vitality and freshness. When he says that he will not live long, he is not just saying it casually.

Moreover, Katakuri thought of meeting the bear again this time and found that he actually had many mechanical creations on his body. In other words, the bear had most likely undergone mechanized transformation.

However, the decay of vitality is all-round and cannot be solved by simply replacing a certain organ. Even if the bear replaces all his internal organs with mechanical creations, his brain will continue to wither.

If he wants to live and have his own consciousness, he must accept the experiment of transferring his soul to another carrier that can carry his consciousness.

And this involves the soul research that Skyler just mentioned casually.

The study of the soul can be said to be one of the most mysterious and difficult studies in the world. For thousands of years, no scientist in this ocean has been able to overcome this problem.

Vegapunk is perhaps the person closest to the final answer. Vegapunk has developed a way to make objects conscious, which is the combination of weapons and devil fruits.

He is currently the only known person who can use external forces to give souls to dead things. This is a very difficult thing. After all, before Vegapunk, the only person who could give souls to dead things...

It is the soul fruit of Katakuri's mother Charlotte Lingling. The soul fruit can give souls to dead objects, which is the so-called homitz.

But there is only one soul fruit, and Vegapunk's method is obviously not Homitz's, so his research on the soul takes a different path.

Although I still doubt the bear's motives, but... if more ways can be found, or in other words, more possibilities can be found, this will definitely be a good thing for Katakuri.

Therefore, he temporarily put aside his doubts, looked at the bear gratefully, and said: "Mr. Bartholomeo, please let me do this."

The bear nodded and rubbed his palms on the cover of the Bible. He did not make any request. It was not yet time. After all, he only gave Katakuri an empty promise.

It would be too impatient to ask for reward at this time, but the bear is the least impatient person. Even if his life is about to end, he will still be gentle and leisurely.

"So is the problem solved? If it is, can we start our duel?"

The opposite of Xiong's patience was Hancock's eagerness at this time. She looked at Skyler, stood up, and was already ready to take action.

Skyler looked at Hancock and asked, "Are you anxious? Do you have someone to meet? Or do you have to go to an appointment?"

"Going to...an appointment?!"

Hancock's face suddenly turned rosy, with an uncontrollable smile, but he retorted: "I...I don't need to go on any dates!"

'Great, has Aunt admitted my date with Luffy-kun? '

Hancock kept shouting in his heart, but he didn't notice the strange expressions of the people around him. Hancock's face seemed to read that there was no 300 taels of silver in this place.

The corner of Skyler's mouth twitched at this time, but when he thought that Hancock might be anxious to go back and take care of Luffy, for some reason, Skyler felt like a domesticated pig would finally become a cabbage.

No...it was the cabbage that came to life and ran into the pigsty to hug the sleeping lazy pig.

"Forget it, if you're in a hurry, you can leave first and talk about the duel later, lest you get seriously injured and have to recuperate when you return."

Skyler waved her hand, too lazy to continue talking to Hancock. Besides, she really had fun fighting today, and she didn't need to find someone to beat her up to vent her anger, so she might as well let Hancock go.

'Are you afraid that I won't be able to go on my date with Luffy-kun?Sure enough, my aunt admitted my relationship with Luffy! '

The smile on Hancock's face couldn't be suppressed at all, and he immediately wanted to leave the warship. After taking two steps, he remembered something. After looking back, he said: "Then I'll leave first, sis... Lieutenant General Keller!”

Many people were scratching their heads. What happened to the empress today?Could it be that he suffered some kind of injury from the war?But she didn't seem to take any action?

"Then I won't stay any longer. Totland should be in a mess now and I need to go back and clean it up. I will just wait for some good news in Totland."

Katakuri also stood up at this time. As a Yonko, he should not stay in the navy's territory for too long. Moreover, Shanks and Kaido fought in Totland yesterday, and he did not know the specific situation of the battle.

Skyler nodded. There was indeed no need for Katakuri to stay in Marinefando. It would not be too late to wait until Brooke forged his sword first before talking about other things.

Katakuri looked at Cavendish, the "Rommel's Weasel" in the eyes of others, the murderous evil wind in the dark night, but he was trembling on the beach chair.

Looking at Cavendish, Katakuri slowly raised his fist. Cavendish's second personality, the soul from Durandal, also seemed to realize something.

However, he did not resist, and even closed his blue and gold circled eyes with some relief.

"Winter~"

Katakuri punched Cavendish directly on the head. Cavendish closed his eyes, tilted his neck and fainted, but it was not like the time when Katakuri took him away from the world. seriously injured.

However, Cavendish's main personality has not awakened, probably because he is still sleeping.

Picking up Cavendish, Katakuri turned back and said, "Goodbye."

"No delivery."

As the "master", Skyler nodded and watched the Carmen brothers leave. Xiong also stood up and said: "Then I will return to Dr. Vegapunk, Lieutenant General Skyler... the rest I’ll leave it to you.”

Xiong didn't say what the other things were, but Skyler nodded. Although Xiong didn't mention it to him, Skyler already understood enough things from the two words they just exchanged. .

Skyler has always felt indebted to Xiong, although in the original novel Xiong also chose mechanization for the revolutionary army at about this time and lost himself.

Skyler could have changed these, or in other words, she could have changed them easily.

But Xiong still embarked on this path, and the reason why he took this path was no longer because the revolutionary army could only take this path, but because Xiong could not live long and chose to maximize his life.

Therefore, Xiong asked Skyler to take care of Pawnee, and Skyler took care of Pawnee. Although he did not take care of Pawnee all the time, he also spent a lot of time training Pawnee.

Pony's training time under Skyler was even longer than the training time of Ace, Luffy, and Gu Yina combined, because this is what Skyler thought he should do.

The rest of what Xiong is talking about now refers to his own funeral. After all, the research of the soul, which can almost be called the field of God, can Vegapunk do it?No one knows.

Therefore, the bear is already ready to sacrifice, or in other words, let his life play its last role. Even if it means death, he must make Vegapunk feel indebted, so that he can help the revolution when necessary. An army.

And there needs to be a person holding the bridge in the middle, that is Skyler, because it is impossible for Vegapunk itself to have contact with the Revolutionary Army, especially...if the bear really dies.

The bear just wants Skyler to act as a bridge again and establish a connection between the two sides.

Of course, if Vegapunk's experiment can succeed and the bear survives, it will undoubtedly be a better situation. The bear can retain its own consciousness and continue its life at the same time.

It may cause Vegapunk to owe the bear less, but the bear will also get more time to win over Vegapunk. Now I just don't know... whether it can succeed.

Xiong took a deep breath, and then slapped his hands on the air. The air pushed Xiong back, allowing him to quickly leave the Zhanye detachment's warship.

After the bear left, Mihawk was the only outsider left on the deck. Skyler looked at him and asked, "What about you? Do you plan to go back after the autumn harvest?"

Mihawk shook his head and said: "There is only one thing I need to do next. After I finish it, I will go back."

"what's up?"

Skyler asked curiously, is there anything that attracts Mihawk more than crops?The answer is yes, it is a sword.

Mihawk stood up, walked to the guardrail, turned his back to Marinevando, then pulled out the black sword Ye and slashed forward. The green light flashed, and an endless trench appeared.

On both sides of the sea, the ocean currents have been completely changed. It is not just as simple as being cut. The changed ocean currents have made it impossible for the trench to heal.

Mihawk put away the black knife, looked at Skyler, and asked: "How?"

"Strong!"

Skyler nodded in admiration. Mihawk is definitely a genius. He will not lose to any swordsman. As long as the sword is improved, he will always be at the top of the sword.

Before today, Skyler may not have been able to slash more powerfully than this one. This is the talent of Hawkeye Mihawk. Only invincibility will limit his growth.

Hearing Skyler's praise, Mihawk nodded without any joy, but said: "How will you solve it?"

After hearing this, Skyler also stood up, took his two black knives from Brooke, reassembled them back into the blade box, then walked to Mihawk, drew his sword and slashed.

"Zheng~"

In an instant, the blue-green sea surface suddenly turned white, just like adding mints to a carbonated drink. A large number of dense bubbles appeared in every drop of water in this sea area.

"Wow~"

The next moment, the sea was like a punctured water balloon. The changed ocean currents became turbulent again and quickly poured towards the trench. Amidst the rustling sound of exploding bubbles, the trench that could never be filled finally calmed down.

Mihawk looked at the vast white sea and listened to the sound of bubbles exploding. After a long time, he finally nodded and said: "You have cut off everything to the most minute level, turning everything from concept into reality." It shows the essence, it’s awesome!”

Skyler used more delicate and difficult techniques to break his own slashes, but this did not make Mihawk feel distressed, because that was what he came for.

After getting the answer, Mihawk looked at Skyler, pressed the brim of his hat, and said, "Then let's say goodbye here. I'm looking forward to our next meeting."

Skyler smiled and nodded and said, "Then see you next time."

Mihawk also nodded and left the warship. Skyler also turned around and looked at Gu Yina who looked incomprehensible and said: "This is still too far away for you. Learn how to swing the sword first."

Hearing this, Gu Yina nodded, but the next moment she was a little unconvinced. Her performance today was already very good. She killed a captain of the Whitebeard Pirates!

But Skyler couldn't learn to acknowledge Gu Yina, or in other words, she couldn't encourage her, so she could only let Gu Yina continue to sulk, and she might not even hear Skyler's approval before she caught up.

Skyler is like a traditional parent who doesn't know how to express approval to his children. Approval and love can be expressed in very simple words, but... many people just can't learn it, even if it takes them a lifetime. meeting.

Gu Yinna is an outstanding student, and she deserves to be recognized. However, it is precisely because of this that Skyler dare not recognize and encourage her, because Skyler does not know what her recognition and encouragement will bring to Gu Yinna. .

More power, or portability?Skyler didn't know, and she didn't dare try, so she just kept going.

Skyler returned to the cabin, and Gu Yina, who was a little aggrieved, began to look around, trying to find the figure of Shengsheng, because Uncle Shengsheng was good at comforting others, and he was the close sister of the Zhanye detachment.

But... Shengsheng didn't seem to be in the detachment now. Gu Yina only remembered it now. It seemed that she hadn't seen Shengsheng since the war, and he disappeared silently in Crescent Harbor.

Gu Yina, who had no one to answer her question, squatted down in a corner of the deck while holding the grand view of the palace, digesting her emotions secretly.

"Why are you here? Colonel Da...Gu Yinna?"

Suddenly, a man's voice sounded. Gu Yina looked up, stood up and saluted: "Colonel Smogg!"

Although both of them are colonels, Smoker's qualifications are older, even much older, and Gu Yina also heard from some people in the Zhanye detachment that the reason why Smoker is a colonel is because of himself Choose not to be promoted.

Therefore, in Gu Yina's heart, Smoker's status was higher than that of the colonel, so she chose to salute Smoker.

Smoker naturally understood such small details, and he had no intention of replying. He wanted to say something, but he looked a little embarrassed. His hand touched the cigar, but his eyes glanced around and stopped again.

Seeing that Smoker looked more awkward than herself just now, Gu Yina couldn't help but ask: "Colonel Smoker, what's the reason for you coming here?"

Smoker nodded, but his brows were furrowed and he kept looking back. He didn't know how to speak. After struggling for a while, Smoker asked: "Well...well, Lieutenant General Skyler...are you there?" ?”

"The teacher is in the cabin, do you need me to inform her?"

As Gu Yina said this, she was about to walk towards the cabin. As long as she had something to do, the young marine would forget her emotions, but Smoker reached out to stop him and said, "No, I'll just wait here."

As he spoke, he looked like a soldier on guard, no, like a child who was punished to stand, standing on the deck of the Zhanye detachment, not moving much, but smacking his mouth, looking like he was addicted to cigarettes. .

Gu Yina looked at Smoker's appearance and wanted to laugh a little, but she knew she must not laugh at this time. After thinking about it, Gu Yina finally said: "Colonel Smoker, you can smoke if the commander is not here."

"is it?"

Smoker's eyes lit up and he touched the cigars pinned to his arm. There were six cigars in a row. One of them was real, and the other five were just shells. The real cigar was something he had prepared for a long time. Celebrating.

After the war, he was busy with many things, so he never had time to smoke. When he heard Gu Yinna expressly saying that he could smoke, he took out the cigar.

He stretched out his hand to rub the wrapper, then put the cigar in front of his nose and smelled it. He usually didn't even dare to smell it, because as soon as he smelled it, he would want to light it and smoke it.

But for his meager military pay, this kind of good cigar was too expensive, especially when he was in Rogge Town. The owner spent all the rewards on naval training and equipment, and the purchase and repair of the base.

He is probably the poorest colonel in the headquarters. He occasionally has a little money left over to refuel his motorcycle. For some reason, the price of gas has skyrocketed in recent years.

Therefore, every cigar is precious to Smoker. If someone makes him lose a cigar, he suspects that he might go crazy and kill someone.

Finally, Smoker put the cigar in his mouth and took out a cigar cutter. After thinking about it for a while, he was reluctant to cut it. Then he took out a box of matches and struck the match.

"呲~"

The match was lit, and he carefully guarded the flame. He kept puffing in his mouth to light the cigar. Then, he took a puff every time, letting the smoke sway in his mouth and unwilling to spit it out.

"Smog?"

Suddenly, a cold voice sounded, and Smoker looked over. Skyler, who had changed his clothes and whose hair had not yet dried, was facing him. His eyes were blocked by sunglasses, and he could not see clearly what he was looking at.

But Smoker reacted extremely quickly. He took out the cigar, put his hands behind his back, and looked to the side, even though there was only a painted wooden wall there.

The hands behind his back were also clenched tightly, and he actually... threw away the cigar with his own hands!
