One Piece: Divine Bird Phoenix

Naval Headquarters, Marinevando.

The weather was cold and humid, with fine raindrops falling from the sky, and the cold wind blowing from the sea, accompanying the swaying waves, dancing briskly past the busy navy in the square, and caressing the newly repaired high wall of justice.

The sea breeze echoed, gently kissing each sailor's cheek, carrying away the dark red soil on the ground, and flying to a distant place.

Castle tower.

The bright and brilliant marshal's office.

In the warm room, the temperature is as cold as a winter island.

On the desk in front of Warring States, the voice of the five-old star Satan was still echoing in the air, and the phone bug had already fallen into a deep sleep with his head drooped.

"Polusalino, the World Government has appointed you as the new Admiral of the Navy. The appointment documents will be sent to Marinefando by air later."

This piece of news was like a bolt from the blue, hitting Aokiji's head and catching Kizaru off guard.

At this moment, Kizaru's mood was like Whitebeard kissing Big Mom, riding Blue Dragon Kaido on his crotch, breaking into the World Government to rescue red-haired Shanks, no matter what he thought, it felt ridiculous.

He worked diligently to fish all his life, but when he was old, his boat capsized in the gutter and he became a naval marshal inexplicably.

"It's so scary! I really don't know what those five old guys are thinking."

Even the usual honorifics were gone, the manicure on his hands stopped, and Kizaru's already ugly face showed an even uglier expression.

"Kuzan, otherwise, I will appoint you as deputy marshal, in charge of all affairs of the navy."

"Pfft——!"

Garp, who was secretly eating senbei, couldn't hold it back, and all the snack residue mixed with saliva came out from his mouth, covering Sengoku's big face.

"Hahaha--!"

"Polusalino, you are so funny, you actually created a Vice Admiral of the Navy."

"Hahaha, I really can't bear it anymore."

Garp, who was laughing so loudly, did not care about the expression of his eldest disciple Qing Zhi, and burst into tears of laughter.

Wiping off the pieces of senbei on his face, Sengoku couldn't bear it anymore. In the past, he was too worried about the marshal's face to do anything. Now that he is no longer the marshal of the navy, he naturally doesn't need to be merciful anymore.

The sleeves of the navy coat on his arms bulged up, and Seng Guo used his arms to grab the opponent's collar and throw him away.

"Garp, you bitch, I will beat you into a pig's head today!!"

With a loud shout, a figure smashed through the window of the marshal's office and followed Garp closely.

Looking at the Warring States Marshal who had changed from his usual composure in an exaggerated manner, Kizaru's heart was beating fast, his forehead wrinkled with the Sichuan pattern unconsciously, and he cursed in a low voice: "Can't you two go out through the gate?!"

"Zefa, let's go see those two old guys. Don't let them destroy the newly repaired square."

The old He stood up, tightened the white cloak around his body, and said to the man with short purple hair next to him.

"Yeah, let's go take a look."

"Porusalino, Cuzan, you can talk about it yourself."

As the two left, the marshal's office fell into silence again.

The cold wind blew gently, moving only half of the window, and I secretly opened the documents on the table and read them loudly.

"Kuzan, I really didn't expect that I, who is least suitable to be a marshal, would one day become a navy marshal."

"To put it bluntly, it's really ridiculous."

After laughing a few times like a self-mockery, Kizaru's old joking expression slowly faded away from his wretched face, revealing the truth hidden under the cynicism and exaggeration.

"Porusalino, why are you like you are now?"

"Don't say you are like this. Every strong person has his own beliefs. People who are not strong-willed cannot become strong."

Lying sideways and imageless on the sofa, Kuzan put his head on the cushion and asked a question that had nothing to do with the position of the marshal.

"Then why are you like this? I remember when I first met Kuzan, you were full of energy and wanted to catch all the pirates of this great route in one day."

Looking at the lazy opponent, Kizaru took off the sunglasses that left marks on the bridge of his nose and asked an irrelevant question.

It was as if nothing happened in the office just now.

"Sauro, you know, that tall, fat giant Lieutenant General, he is my best friend."

"But, for justice, I killed him with my own hands."

"You all think it was Akainu's shelling of the evacuating refugee ship that made me like this, but what really made me change was killing my friend with my own hands!"

"Is Nico Robin really the son of the devil as described by the World Government? I have been observing her over the years, but I have not seen the evil in her."

"Justice that burns will turn cold when deceit is discovered!"

"That's why I want to be a marshal of the navy. I want to try to see if the navy can achieve my justice."

After describing his changes, Kuzan stopped talking, wore an eye mask, and seemed to be asleep on the sofa.

"Kuzan, I don't have any rough experiences like you. I just saw too many crimes and met a man."

"To this day, I still remember the gentle smile of that man before his memory was deprived. This made me, who was just thinking about eating and waiting for death, even more sure of my thoughts."

"This world is twisted, and human power has its limits."

"Whether it's the world government, the navy, pirates, the revolutionary army, Mr. Zefa..."

"I don't care about anything, I just want to go with the flow and spend my life peacefully!"

"So, Kuzan, please accept my invitation. On the surface, I am the marshal of the navy. Secretly, you control everything in the navy."

It seems that in order to maintain his future fishing life, Kizaru talked a bit too much this time.

"Alala, Porusalino, the World Government has set its sights on the Navy. If you want to continue living like this, there is only one way..."

Standing up from the sofa, Qing Zhi yawned and walked towards the door.

"Alala, it's really cold here. I don't know what the scenery on the sea is like..."

Windmill Kingdom, Science Laboratory.

The people who had just left not long ago turned back, and the big and thick bear was directly pushed down by Bonnie, and was forced onto Dr. Davis's experimental table, expressionlessly letting the other party do what he did.

"Tall old man, there is nothing wrong with my father!"

Bonnie, who looked anxious, looked at the doctor who had stopped moving, and hurriedly approached him.

The pleasant Dr. Davis patted Bonnie on the head and said softly: "There is no problem with your father's consciousness. He only needs a few days of rest to recover as before."

"Woo-!"

Knowing that there was nothing wrong with the bear's health, Bonnie threw herself directly into the bear's arms and burst into tears regardless of the presence of outsiders.

As the two embraced, Davis winked at the bear.

Xiong Changzui said: "Bonnie, go get me a glass of water, please?"

Wiping away the tears around her little eyes, the girl walked out with red eyes.

Seeing Bonnie walking further and further away, Davis spoke in a solemn voice, "You should be very clear about your physical condition. Although your consciousness has awakened and there are no problems with your body, the modification of the brain by Vegapunk still exists. .”

"As long as he is willing, you can become a reformed person without any self-awareness at any time."

"Is there no way to solve this problem?" Dorag asked on the side.

"There is no way. I am good at mechanics and have no attainments in other subjects. If I want to completely solve this problem, only Vegapunk can do it myself."

After thinking for a while, Dr. Davis gave a clear answer.

In the corridor separated by a wall from the laboratory, Bonnie wiped away her tears while holding a water glass. The corners of her crying face curved into a beautiful curve, and she walked in with a bright smile.
