About three days later, in the early morning, the members of the Orn Pirates, together with Ikarem and other Royal Army soldiers, appeared at the port of the royal capital Albana, waiting for the arrival of a warship in the distance.
About thirty minutes later, a standard naval warship sailed into the port, and a thick-lipped lieutenant general wearing a navy hat and a gentle smile on his face stepped off the warship.
After saluting Ikarem and others, the lieutenant general introduced himself:
"I am Lieutenant General Huo Shaoshan of our headquarters. I am the Lieutenant General responsible for escorting Crocodile and his subordinates this time. If there is nothing else important, please bring all the prisoners directly."
While waiting for Icarim to escort Crocodile and others out, Lieutenant General Huoshanshan turned his attention to Ornn and others:
"Are you the Ornn who helped the Alabasta royal family defeat Crocodile? Tsk tsk, that's really amazing, you're so young..."
Noticing Huo Shaoshan's gaze and looking over, Rhea, Peyton and Robin all looked a little uncomfortable.
After all, one side is a soldier and the other is a thief. Even if they haven't done anything bad, they always feel like the other side will send out an army to encircle and suppress them in the next second.
Rhea even whispered behind Ornn:
"Captain, I always feel that this lieutenant general seems to have something to say..."
"I heard it." Huo Shaoshan lit up a cigar with a smile: "Don't worry, I won't arrest you. After all, except for your captain, you don't have any bounty on your head yet.
In addition, our marshal specifically told us not to take action against your captain. After all, he may become the Shichibukai in the future, hahahaha. "
"Huh?!" Rhea and the others couldn't help but exclaimed after hearing this.
Although they have known for a long time that their captain is currently aiming to become the Shichibukai, the efficiency is too fast. It is obvious that their journey to the great sea has just begun.
Nico Robin, who was at the bottom of the crowd, appeared to be worried about gains and losses.
It's not that he is surprised that Aoun is about to become a Shichibukai, but he is vaguely worried that his identity will hinder the other party's development.
Although she is currently in a state of confusion because of what Aoun said a few days ago, she has always been in a dissociated state towards this team.
But in the past few days, she has established a deep friendship with two girls in the pirate group.
The kind of friendship between girls that does not require intrigue and is as pure as crystal is something she has never felt since she was so old.
In this melancholy of "the loneliest thing is when you want to stay but can't", Ikarem appeared at the dock with Crocodile, Daz Bones, and Von Clay.
Facing the impending prison life, Mr.1 and Mr.2 both looked listless and had obviously resigned themselves to their fate.
On the contrary, Crocodile, who had never met Orn before when he was seriously injured and comatose, became inexplicably excited after seeing Orn.
Everything he had planned for more than 20 years fell short because of the boy in front of him. There is a high probability that his position will be inherited by this boy. No one can accept this kind of thing easily.
"Onn, I admit defeat this time, but don't think that this matter is over! You'd better pray to God every day that I won't come out of Impel Down City. Once I leave Impel Down City, , I promise I won’t let you have a good life.”
Crocodile glared at Ornn, his expression gloomy and threatening.
Aoun was not afraid of this at all. Instead, he looked at Crocodile with a smile and said:
"If you ask me, if you have time to talk to me about these baseless threats, you might as well think about how to stimulate your domineering power again. Your peak period has passed, but my peak period has not yet come. Woolen cloth?
Don't wait, you finally left Impel Down, only to end up with the same fate as this time. "
Crocodile stared at Aoun's meaningful smile, and for a moment he couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
Why this reaction?
Why did this guy not only not refute the fact that he could leave Impel Down City, but actually seemed to be expecting revenge from him?
What on earth is this bastard planning?
Before Crocodile could think further, Huo Shaoshan pushed him from behind:
"Come on, Crocodile, don't delay the trial on Justice Island."
Crocodile took one last deep look at Ornn, then lowered his head and walked into the warship under the supervision of Huo Shaoshan.
…………
With Crocodile being taken away by the warship, the Alabasta incident has officially come to an end, and it is time for Ornn and others to continue their voyage.
However, just as everyone was about to leave for Rapeseed Flower Port to retrieve the Gospel, the group encountered two mysterious men wearing masks in Yuba.
One of the two was wearing a pure white suit with a black and white mask on his face that resembled an Indian style. The other was wearing a pure black suit with a ghost mask on his face and a dove standing on his shoulder.
The moment she noticed what these two people were wearing, Robin hid behind Yamato and secretly prayed in her heart that the two people didn't notice her.
It's a pity that things went counterproductive. The first sentence the masked man in a white suit said was:
"Nico Robin, stop hiding, you can't escape our grasp."
Hearing this, Robin's figure immediately trembled. Yamato felt the trembling of Robin's body and subconsciously patted her hand to express comfort. Then he untied Takeru from behind and waved to the two of them. , said with a vicious threat:
"No matter what your purpose is, I advise you to leave immediately and don't try to take advantage of our partners!"
Hearing this, the man in the black suit with the ghost mask subconsciously wanted to step forward, but was stopped by the leader in the white suit who raised his hand.
The white suit took a deep look at the slender red horns on Yamato's head. After a moment, he shifted his gaze to Aoun:
"Eric Aoun, do you know the true identity of the girl you brought with you?"
Aoun glanced at the CP0 in front of him with a half-smile, then turned to Yamato and others:
"Did you hear who was talking just now?"
Players like Rhea who are accustomed to trash talking on the court are very familiar with this trick, and immediately praised it loudly:
"No, maybe it's just a rumor."
"Since no one is talking, let's continue on our way."
As he said that, Aoun ignored the two people in front of him and walked past them first.
Whoosh~!
The next second, two figures flashed and appeared in front of Aoun again. The one in the black suit said coldly:
"Eric Aoun, we are here to examine whether you are qualified to serve as King Shichibukai. If you insist on ignoring us, we will leave right now."
"Really?" Aoun glanced at him, then turned sideways in a nonchalant manner, making a gesture of invitation.
this……
Seeing Aoun's action, the black suit was instantly embarrassed on the spot.
He really didn't expect that the pirate in front of him would actually behave like this to him. Did he really not care about his position in the Shichibukai?
Just when the black suit felt at a loss, the white suit next to him spoke again:
"Eric Aoun, the World Government comes to us to examine you with sincerity. Don't make it difficult for everyone."
"I don't even know how to introduce myself. I threatened my crew members as soon as I came up. Now you still blame me for making things difficult for you. Is this the sincerity of the World Government?"
Aoun looked directly into the eyes under the white suit mask and asked a little funny.
The white suit took a deep breath, and then said:
"Our organization's code name is Cipher Pol. It is an intelligence agency directly under the World Government. His rank is No. 9, and mine is No. 0. Do you have any objections to this?"
After noticing Ornn shaking his head, CP0 in the white suit spoke again:
"As for the previous conflict... we did not know that Nico Robin was your crew member in advance. This is indeed our negligence. I am willing to apologize to you."
White Mask said, bowing softly, and then asked the original question again:
"But after apologizing, I still want to ask you, do you know Nico Robin's true identity? Do you know the price of keeping her by your side?"
Aoun said in a relaxed tone:
"Nicole Robin, with a bounty of 79 million Baileys, a survivor of O'Hara, the famous devil's son in the West Sea, and one who debuted in the West Sea. Of course I know her specific identity. As for the price you mentioned...
If, as the king's Shichibukai, he doesn't even have the slightest power to protect his subordinates, then I think this Shichibukai seems inappropriate. "
The white suit stared at Aoun's expression for a long time, then nodded after a moment and said:
"Very well, I will relay your answer about Nico Robin to my superior, as it is, then let's talk about the real intention of our visit.
My superiors are currently unable to determine whether you defeated Crocodile by relying on your own strength, or whether you used some trickery. In order to prevent the gap between your strength and other Shichibukai from being too large, they specially sent me and He uses it to test your strength level. "
Having said this, the white suit pointed to the black suit beside him:
"This CP9 is the opponent specially sent by above to test your strength level. Next, I need you to fight with him without any reservation, so that I can judge your current strength level and the upper limit of your talent."
"Let me fight him without any reservations?" Aoun glanced at the black suit opposite him who was clearly wearing a mask but looked extremely familiar to him, and couldn't help but reveal a bright smile.
The World Government is really considerate. Knowing that I still haven't learned four of the six moves, I specially sent Rob Luqi to give me the explosive skill book.
Lucci, my superman!
