[comprehensive] red tide

When he took her to the tavern on Central Street, it was almost midnight.

There was quite a delay along the way, but that was an inevitable accident for Aokiji. After all, he was a man, and he was facing a woman who had been thinking about him for so many years. normal.

The only abnormal thing was that he didn't do anything, he just kissed her and coaxed her, and even followed her wishes, pretending to be ignorant.

Thinking about it this way, Aokiji almost shed tears of sympathy for himself. A man should not be too incompetent for his sake.

But he really didn't dare, even though he felt ruthless several times, he gave up halfway when he really started.

Probably the so-called 'love is intimidating', right?

I always think, 'If I can't get your love, then even hate is fine. ', or to call her, 'remember me fiercely, from now on, until death. '.

But when he actually put it into action, one look from her could make his brain burnt out. He just wanted to hold her in his hands, pamper and pamper her, and lose what she should have had in those 20 years. Give her all the brains.

His little lady~

She started wandering at the age of eight and grew up in a hell-like abyss. After 20 years, she reappeared in the sight of the government navy and never felt safe for a moment. If she hadn't had some skills, she might have been in a miserable situation.

Except for Aokiji himself, no one knows how regretful and even painful he felt after seeing the whole story of the Muse incident handed over by Kizaru Polusalino, who is also a general.

[I got separated from my adoptive father, I couldn’t find anything to eat for a long time, I was so hungry that I wanted to eat my own flesh and blood...]

[Lying down waiting to die without strength, people hiding nearby waiting for me to die or lose the courage to live...]

When narrating the past, she was so ordinary, as if she was talking about other people's affairs, but he tossed and turned for several days and couldn't sleep at night. When he closed his eyes, he seemed to see a thin and small girl walking in the boundless darkness struggling to survive.

After reading that passage, Aokiji realizes how lucky his little lady is to survive. Even if she fills up the incomplete character with crazy indifference, at least she is alive.

'Only the living can have an infinite future. '——The words she said at that time were probably addressed to herself, right?

And she shouldn't have encountered these things in the first place, because fate was too unfair to her, and her anger and cruelty were justifiable.

From the standpoint of a soldier, Aokiji couldn't forgive her indiscriminate killing, but he could understand his personal feelings. Since he wanted her, he naturally wanted everything. At the beginning, he might naively hope to make her change, but now he has stopped. That thought.

People who grew up in the abyss are afraid that they will not be able to really change anything until they die, and even if they do, it must be a false appearance.

Conspiracy, calculation, and killing instinct are the foundation of her life. If she loses her support, who can protect her in such a situation?Even Aokiji cannot guarantee that she will be watertight, her own strength is the foolproof guarantee.

Complicated and changeable with clear grievances and grievances, calm and cruel, promises a thousand gold, all of them are integrated, and she is his little lady.

That's right, the one who saw him as a 'disaster' when we first met at the age of eight, and plotted him to almost bury him in the West Sea, the devil's son, fraudster, Nicole Robin.

That's right, let him see it for the first time and never forget it, a young lady who is still crazy about it at an old age.

Ah la la~ Thinking about it this way, he is actually shaking M, right?

Aokiji smiled wryly in his heart.

…………

Standing on the roof, condescendingly looking down at the tavern across the street, after a long while, Aokiji turned his eyes away slightly, and his eyes fell on the person curled up in his arms.

Looking at her without saying a word, after a long time, Aokiji finally sighed in frustration, "Miss can pretend to be asleep, but don't pinch my waist anymore..."

"The wound you made last time hasn't healed for more than half a month. It's almost shameless to go to the public bathhouse~"

After a pause, he moved a little to avoid the nail tip that was pinched into the flesh, then he took a breath and said forgivingly, "My colleagues, superiors and subordinates all know that I don't have a woman, so..."

and so…

Then what, 'Oh, which beauty is so energetic, it must be because you were beaten by force? '

Or, 'Yeah - that's weird, which kitten has such sharp claws?Your bed has been neglected for so many years and finally found someone to share it~'

Or, 'Male or female?There's nothing wrong with an office romance, it's not about using power to overwhelm others. '

Such ridicules, Aokiji said that he has listened to several ears, so let him be quiet~

"At least don't use the arm color, it's very itchy, I can't help it later, it won't be good if I let go and let you fall~" His waist can't stand this kind of torture, okay? o(>﹏<)o

As soon as he finished speaking, the man with most of his face hidden in the hood silently let go of his fingertips, then raised his hand to pull the cloak tighter, hummed softly, and continued to pretend to be asleep.

Finally freed, Aokiji breathed a sigh of relief, and then regained some attention, staring at the tavern with the lights off on the opposite street, slowly narrowing his eyes, and the natural devil fruit ability was activated immediately.

A ridge of ice spread silently under the feet, flew straight through the air and rushed to the closed door of the tavern, and penetrated through the gap.

Not long after, a few breaths echoed from a room on the second floor of that building. At the same time, the room was lit up, reflecting the dim light. On both sides of the opened window, several figures stood respectfully.

Taking back the thin ice created by his ability, Aokiji embraced the quiet person in his arms, and jumped into the room to welcome him.

…………

As soon as his feet hit the ground, Qingzhi didn't bother to see who was waiting here, first he walked to the corner and gently placed the person on the sofa, let her half lean and half lean, and then turned around.

Looking at the people standing by the window, Aokiji waved his hand and smiled casually, "Ah la la~ I told you I'm on vacation, so don't be so formal."

There were four people waiting in the room, all in black uniforms, with straight backs and a very respectful posture.

One is a young man whom I met during the day, and the remaining three include a young woman, and the other two...the older ones look simple and honest, and the last one is very handsome, with his brows half hidden in the dark, his expression Ice-cold, and the last one is in the leading position among the four.

It was also because of the man in the end that the four of them were watching Nicole Robin behind him by coincidence; or it should be said that these four people subconsciously exuded malice towards the person he carried in while he was present.

Frowning indistinctly, Aokiji then sat down on the spot as if nothing had happened, raised his chin, and said in a deep voice, "I remember...then what...ah what is it? Spandam?"

The four people looked at each other, and the young people they had met in the daytime came out more and more, "Your Excellency, Spandam is our direct commander." There was a pause between the words, and the eyes with special meaning quickly passed over the sofa , Fu stopped again, pursing the corners of his mouth.

"Ah la la ~ the confidentiality system must be followed even as a general, so I think it's better..." After thinking about it, Aokiji felt that it might not be a good idea to come tonight, so he stopped talking.

These four people are obviously wary of Nicole Robin, so it is impossible to reveal anything for this reason, and he is unwilling to intervene in the first place. In this case, should we go back to sleep?

Presumably the reason why the other party invited him here was just the arrival of the general from the headquarters, a routine greeting?

…………

"Your Excellency, General." The man in black who was vaguely in the leading position walked out of the shadows, staring at the sofa with shallow murderous intent and deep vigilance, "May I ask the person behind you, whether the purpose of coming to the capital of seven waters is—— -"

Before he had time to answer or even react to the other party's straightforwardness, Aokiji felt a slight ups and downs of air flow behind his head, and in an instant, the dark cloak pierced the corner of his eyes.

She stood beside him, paused for a few seconds and sat cross-legged beside him, then raised her hand and took off her hood, and said with a soft smile, "You don't have to hide your words for the sake of secrecy, I know you are What."

After she finished speaking, she turned her face to stare at him, hooked the corners of her mouth, and smiled indifferently, "Don't think that the admiral revealed something to me, he is not that stupid."

"The name "intelligence machine" is not just for your navy to call it for nothing."

Her dark blue pupils were cold, and she locked his gaze with sharp eyes like a blood-quenching blade, "A spy agency affiliated with the World Government, directly under Chief Spandam, is it CP9?"

"Your Excellency, am I right?"

Qingzhi was stunned for a moment, then suppressed the sudden surprise in his heart in an instant, smiled wryly, and said, "The source of the information of the young lady, to be honest, is really very curious~"

She knows what she should know, but how can she know what she shouldn't know?

"Speaking of which, the method of gathering information introduced by the young lady at that time was indeed very interesting, but..."

It's just that [CP] is affiliated with the world government, and it is an organization parallel to the navy, and its actions have always been complementary and independent.

After hesitating for a moment, he continued, staring at her unconsciously with deep meaning, "CP9, it is true that it has never appeared in any newspapers or magazines~"

Not to mention newspapers and magazines, not even the government navy knows much. Only generals of a certain level who are involved in the execution of missions can hear about it.

And Aokiji has never heard of a military reporter in a secret operation who dared to ignore the deterrence of military law and leaked other things to the public besides official articles.

She just dared to stab at those hidden things that could not be seen, but she never thought that the more she knew, the more dangerous her situation would be~

…………

"All the secrets in this world can be discovered as long as you find the right method."

She avoided the most important answer, turned her face away again, cast her eyes on the four people, stared at the leading man for a moment, raised her eyebrows slightly, "Ah?"

With a low cry, she seemed to be quite surprised and said, "The recovery ability is pretty good~ Is it a devil fruit, or do you have colleagues with extremely good medical skills by your side?"

The dark blue pupils were slightly curved, she smiled softly and calmly, and the words revealed between her lips opened and closed revealed a deep hostility.

"I knew you could be like a gecko, so I didn't show mercy last night. I just divided it into dozens of parts and let you piece them together slowly, so as not to cause trouble when you have nothing to do."

The other party's breathing froze for an instant, and although she was motionless, her eyes were filled with darkness, she continued in a low voice as if she hadn't seen it, "Well~ but forget it, I didn't kill you the first time, forget it You're in luck, let's talk about something else."

As if she had changed her mood, her tone became brighter. While slowly looking at the four of them, she raised her hand and stroked her chin with interest, "Speaking of which, what is so important about the capital of seven waters that you CP9 have used several people?" members, or even two capable users lurking?"

"Hey~ Don't tell me, let me guess."

"Counting the actions that disturbed me last night, if it's not to determine my purpose, I'm afraid it's because I'm carrying something that has something to do with your purpose?"

She smiled and interrupted the intention of the four people who were startled as if they were about to speak. She was silent for a few seconds, her brows were slightly raised, her smile settled down, and her expression became serious.

"The Capital of Seven Waters——" she lowered her voice and muttered to herself. After a long time, she suddenly shuddered, as if remembering something, her eyes were sharp in vain, and she asked coldly, "Could it be the ancient weapon blueprint?"

"The capital of the seven waters also hides an ancient weapon blueprint, and you are determined to get it?"

The cold and oppressive feeling radiated out along with the words. Every time she uttered a word, the huge pressure increased. When she pursed her lips and looked at the four people indifferently, the semi-closed room was also full of real blood. taste.

As if deliberately deterring the other party, the mighty killing intent was mixed with incomparably chaotic violence, which made the air creak, like a hurricane raging on the ocean.

…………

The figures of those four people were crumbling, and they gradually revealed expressions of horror in the vortex of killing intent, and the slightly weaker young woman was even more livid, as if she was about to be unable to hold on.

Seeing this, Qingzhi could only sigh, and then smoothed things over, "Miss is so intent on staring at other men, it really makes me sad."

With a fake joke in his mouth, he raised his hand to wrap her shoulders around her, and with a little force on his wrist, he pulled her into his arms, using his domineering arrogance to counteract her violent violence that was so strong that it was almost breathless.

Qingzhi squinted his eyes from the corner of his eye, and suddenly heaved a sigh of relief. The four people who were a little startled and angry closed their eyes, and couldn't help but sighed inwardly.

He has heard about the members of CP9, these four, except for 'Kaku' who revealed his name to him at the beginning, and the only female 'Kalifa' among them, the remaining two, the leader is Rob Lucci, and Judging from his appearance, that person should be Bruno, the fruit-capable user.

That Rob Lucci has the highest power value since the establishment of CP9, but the dark aura these lurkers are contaminated with is completely vulnerable compared to Nicole Robin who came out of the mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood.

Aokiji knew the ins and outs of the people lurking in the capital of seven waters and the content of the mission. Although the action had nothing to do with him, she couldn't just watch these four people fall into her hands.

In any case, Aokiji, who was standing in the position of admiral of the navy, could not watch this happen.

Since the era of great pirates created by Gol D. Roger, even a little confident guy dared to set sail. Under the turbulent situation, most of the young people with good qualifications became pirates. This has caused the new generation of the navy to be uneven.

At the beginning, the weakness of the navy was not obvious, but in the past ten years, subtle differences have gradually emerged.

If things go on like this for a long time, I am afraid that without waiting for the birth of a new One Piece or the overthrow of the revolutionary/revolutionary army, the navy itself will be annihilated because there are no successors.

Although Aokiji understands the so-called "prosperity must decline", he just hopes that the decline will come as late as possible. After all, the government navy still shoulders the responsibility of maintaining world stability.

And that kind of mission, he and the vast majority of people in the same camp as him, have insisted on it for half a lifetime, isn't it because they hope to protect the unarmed people with their own strength?

Although there are times when they feel helpless, the ultimate bottom line in their hearts has never disappeared.

The qualifications of the four CP9 are not excellent, but they have spent a lot of energy to cultivate them. They are more likely to have room for growth in the future. No matter what Aokiji says, he can't let the younger generation fall in front of him like this.
