Pirates: Swing the Sword to Become Stronger

Splash...

Aokiji walked in nonchalantly.

Walked into the bath and soaked next to Baiyu.

"It's rare that you like to take a bath."

Baiyu said easily.

"There's not much time to relax like today."

Aokiji shrugged and said.

Then, the two fell into silence.

After a moment.

Aokiji was the first to break the silence.

"Can you tell me why you joined the navy?"

Aokiji closed his eyes and asked casually.

"No reason."

"To be honest, I think I look down on pirates who burn, rob and plunder."

"I prefer the justice of the navy."

Baiyu explained.

In Baiyu's heart, pirates are pirates.

Unlike the navy, they can stand at the top of the world openly.

"Hahaha..."

"Your answer is very much to my liking."

Hearing this, Aokiji said with a smile.

"But the navy... sometimes it's not completely right."

Suddenly, Aokiji changed the subject and said with a somewhat gloomy expression.

"By the way, let me ask you another question."

"If... the Pluto design is in your hands, how will you use it?"

Then, Aokiji changed the subject again.

As if tentatively throwing out a sharp question.

After hearing Aokiji's words, Bai Yu paused obviously.

After thinking about it, he told Aokiji his true thoughts.

"If the Pluto design is in my hands, I will use it to end the pirate era."

"Of course, I will also use it to sit in the highest position as much as possible."

"As you said, if I am in the highest position."

"I will do my best to clean up all corruption."

"Establish a truly 'just' government that is beyond reproach."

Bai Yu said in one breath.

In the eyes looking forward, there seemed to be a glimmer of expectation.

"..."

Hearing Bai Yu's bold words, Qing Ji immediately opened his eyes and looked at Bai Yu.

But Qing Ji only saw a strange determination on Bai Yu's face.

As smart as Qing Ji was, he naturally understood the hidden meaning of Bai Yu's words.

Time to eliminate pirates.

Overthrow the corrupt navy system that is now restricted by the Celestial Dragons.

Establish an absolutely righteous navy organization!

If this word gets out, it will not only attract countless people's laughter.

It will also be hated by both the navy and the pirates!

"You..."

"Why do you dare to tell me this?"

"Aren't you afraid that I will arrest you now?"

Qing Ji asked Bai Yu in surprise.

"You won't."

Bai Yu shook his head.

"My intuition tells me that you will not be my enemy."

"Even... we will be friends."

Bai Yu said.

Bai Yu, who is familiar with the original work, knows that Aokiji is different from Akainu and Kizaru.

He is quite dissatisfied with the control of the Celestial Dragons.

Later, he will quit the Navy because of his disagreement with Akainu's approach.

Bai Yu, who knew this in advance, naturally wanted to win over Aokiji.

Aokiji's strength is obviously beyond doubt.

With Aokiji's help, Bai Yu's future will be easier.

"Intuition...?"

Hearing this, Aokiji was stunned.

At this time, Aokiji actually began to have opinions on some of the Navy's practices.

"Hahaha..."

"You are such an interesting guy."

"You are obviously not very old, but you look very mature."

Then, Aokiji laughed.

The two tacitly did not talk about this topic and continued to talk.

This night is destined to be an unusual night.

The relationship between Bai Yu and Aokiji also planted the crucial seeds at this time.

Later, Aokiji did not choose to leave the navy because of this.

Of course, this is all a story for later.

The next day.

Bai Yu returned to the warship with Coby and Bellemeber early in the morning.

As for Aokiji, he seemed to have returned to the navy headquarters one step ahead.

After successfully getting the Pluto design, Bai Yu felt that there was no need to stay any longer.

Because he wanted to hide his identity, Franky would not publicize the loss of the Pluto design.

Everything was as if nothing had happened.

Under Bai Yu's instructions, the group set sail again, returned along the original route, and rushed to the 188th branch.

Ooooooooo~

Not long after the warship sailed, a news bird that was responsible for delivering news flew over the warship.

A package fell from the sky immediately.

Seeing this, Coby hurriedly ran forward, picked up the package, and came to Bai Yu.

At this time, Bai Yu was preparing to practice swinging a knife.

Bai Yu immediately signaled Coby to open the package to check.

With Bai Yu's consent, Coby opened the package.

There were two documents with the seal of the 188th branch.

Coby opened the first document immediately.

His face changed instantly.

"Colonel Bai Yu!"

"The people from the 188th branch sent a message saying that Vice Admiral Garp asked us to go directly to the next mission location."

"No need to go back to the 188th branch."

Coby hurriedly said to Bai Yu.

"According to the document, Vice Admiral Garp doesn't seem to be in the 188th branch now."

"It is said... It is said that he went to the Marine Headquarters to ask for an explanation from you, Colonel Bai Yu."

Coby continued to explain.

"This old man..."

Hearing this, Bai Yu chuckled.

Garp is also a straightforward person.

Probably because he just found out that Kizaru had fought with Bai Yu.

He went to the Marine Headquarters to settle accounts with Kizaru and others.

Poor Kizaru, it is estimated that he will inevitably be beaten up.

Garp's protection also warmed Bai Yu's heart.

"Let's see what the mission is."

Then, Bai Yu signaled Coby to open another file.

The other file was sealed much more tightly than the first one.

After Coby opened it, Bai Yu glanced at it.

Inside was a bounty and a bunch of descriptive text.

After reading the content, Coby instantly became serious.

"Colonel Bai Yu."

"This mission is to capture a former navy who defected."

"The name is... Gaspard!"

As he spoke, Coby flipped out the bounty and handed it to Bai Yu.

Gaspard?

Hearing this name, a figure flashed in Bai Yu's mind.

Then he took the bounty handed over by Coby and took a look.

"It's him!"

Bai Yu said secretly.

Gaspard, former general of the Navy Headquarters.

Now the captain of the Gaspard Pirates.

Bounty of 95 million berries!

Devil Fruit Gummy Fruit Power User!

Bai Yu remembered clearly that Gaspard, who had defected from the Navy, was a character that only appeared in the original movie of One Piece.

I didn't expect that Bai Yu would meet him now.

Bai Yu took over the specific mission intelligence file again.

On Bai Yu's route back to the 188th branch.

Received intelligence that Gaspard will participate in the annual Sea Death Race held in Hannabal.

Since the first prize is as high as 300 million berries, there will be a lot of pirates participating in the Sea Death Race!

And the task assigned to Bai Yu and others by the 188th branch is to sneak in and capture the main target Gaspard!

As soon as Bai Yu finished reading the file, the system prompt sounded in his mind.
