"He is him, and I am me... Well, sooner or later, I will beat him until he can't fight back, and then make him apologize for the things he did to me in the past!"
Upon hearing Garp mention his bastard father, Yamato began to make his "filial daughter's speech" angrily.
"Do you want to defeat the Four Emperors? It's such an incredible ideal. I'm really looking forward to seeing that day."
Garp, who had been warned by Sengoku not to take action against Aoun and others, simply started chatting with Yamato and others. After praising Yamato's ideals, he began to ask Aoun and others one by one what their life ideals were.
While several people were chatting animatedly, another tall and thin figure came over from the dog-headed warship:
"Ah la ah la, it seems I can't make it unless I come over... If you delay for a while, Mr. Karp, you may have to leave food on their ship."
Hearing this familiar mouth habit, Robin's complexion suddenly became extremely ugly, and his body also trembled slightly.
Noticing Robin's strange behavior, everyone in the Orn Pirates set their sights on the second afro-headed man who boarded the Gospel.
He was tall and thin, with dark skin, thick lips, and a lazy expression as if he had just woken up... Almost as soon as he noticed this man, Aoun recognized his true identity.
Admiral of the Navy Headquarters, Kuzan, codenamed "Ao Pheasant"!
Unlike Aoun's calmness, Rhea and Yamato, the two generals who didn't know Aokiji, protected Robin behind them almost as soon as Aokiji boarded the boat, and looked at Aokiji with an unkind expression:
"What's wrong Robin, do you know this guy?"
Even Garp, who was chatting enthusiastically, frowned:
"Hey, Kuzan, you scared them."
"Sorry~" Aokiji drawled insincerely, and then looked at Robin hiding behind Yamato:
"Well, I haven't seen you for a long time Nico Robin. It seems that you have found a very reliable backer. Your Majesty the Shichibukai... This way, even the navy won't be able to attack you at will. What a good plan."
Robin's whole body trembled because of Aoji's understated words. She looked carefully at Rhea and Yamato who were protecting her behind her, and then she looked up at the watchtower above with some feeling - there, Pei Dun was looking at her with a scrutinizing gaze.
Robin couldn't be more sensitive to such looks. Different from the previous alienation, he was suspicious of the purpose of appearing on the ship.
Why...why do you do this to me?
I obviously never wanted to plot anything, it was just because of the atmosphere on this ship...
Robin wanted to refute Qing Zhi loudly, saying that he was just talking nonsense, but when the words came to her lips, she didn't know how to speak.
Does the prisoner's confession really have any effect? The seeds of doubt have been sown. No matter how hard you try to defend yourself, it may be just weak sophistry in their eyes.
Just as Robin's heart was silently moving toward the bottom of the valley, an extremely calm voice sounded not far in front of him:
"Um, General Aokiji... I think you made a mistake."
Robin raised his head in surprise when he heard this voice. His eyes crossed Yamato and Rhea and landed on the figure that was almost as tall as Aokiji and Garp:
"I took the initiative to invite her on board the ship, not as you said, she tried her best to stay by my side."
Having said this, Aoun turned to look at Robin, grinned and said:
"Robin, do you need me to remind you? Because my succession to the Shichibukai is a foregone conclusion, the reward order between you and me is now invalid. Do you understand what I mean?
Now you are a clean and innocent person according to the rules of the navy. You don't need to be afraid of him because of the past. "
Looking at Ornn's smile, Robin felt what "peace of mind" meant for the first time since his separation from Sauro.
Fighting back the tears in his eyes, Robin forced a smile and nodded solemnly to Ornn:
"I remember, Captain!"
After receiving Robin's affirmative answer, Aoun turned to look at Aoki who looked slightly surprised and said:
"Admiral Aokiji, I won't pursue you for slandering my crew for no reason this time, but I don't want this to happen again, so can you please take my words to heart?"
Qingzhi stared at Aoun for a long time. After a long time, he slapped his forehead, and then showed a shallow smile:
"Ah la ah la, the new Shichibukai is indeed not a simple character..."
Garp also laughed heartily at this time, patting Ornn on the shoulder like Luffy. The depressed Ornn wished he could activate the passive effect of anti-armor and stab him twice:
"Uh-hahaha, you can actually make Kuzan feel embarrassed, you are really interesting... Okay, okay, I've pretty much said what I need to say. Kuzan, go and call that cameraman over and ask him to do it. Let’s take a photo of this guy for news reports, and then give him the Shichibukai’s letter of appointment.”
Qingzhi sighed helplessly:
"Can't we let Bogarde arrange such troublesome things..."
Even so, he still stood up and returned to the dog-headed warship quite cooperatively. After a while, he boarded the Gospel with a special phone bug and a mustache man whose height was estimated to be less than 1.7 meters.
This inconspicuous-looking man with a mustache is the pirate bounty photographer of the Navy Headquarters Photo Department. He is a magical man with a passive sense of "pureness and thinness". He can easily blend into various pirate groups and take pictures of pirates. The only drawback is that sometimes you forget to open the lens cap, resulting in "supernatural events" such as blackness in the photo.
"Let him take a picture of you. Even if our mission is over, I can go find my grandson."
Garp urged the photographer to quickly take pictures of Ornn so that they could rush to their next destination as soon as possible - the island "Kolia" where Ace is now.
"Keep this action, good, fire!"
"Let me also take some photos of the three ladies and the gentleman above... Very good, fire, fire..."
The camera's shutter flashed one after another, and soon, the photos of everyone in the Orn Pirates were recorded by the flame photographer.
After carefully checking and confirming that the lens cover had been removed, the photographer returned to the warship with satisfaction, and Garp and others planned to leave.
Before leaving, Garp looked at Ornn and others and left his instructions with a smile on his face:
"Boy Orn, although you are pirates, I have a pretty good impression of you. Now you have become the King of the Seven Warlords. From now on, you must maintain the status quo and don't do anything like Crocodile. Do you know the bottom line?
If I find out that you dare to do some disgusting little tricks behind your back, I will be the first to hunt you down and send you all to the Impel Down City! "
After saying this, Aoun rolled his eyes secretly in his heart and said to himself, you old man has time to worry about us, so you might as well care about your two precious grandchildren who are clamoring to become pirates!
After watching the dog-headed warship go away, Aoun looked back at his crew, took a deep breath and shouted:
"Although we have become the Shichibukai, our voyage must continue, so... set sail and set off for the next island!"
Following Aoun's shout, the sails of the Gospel were dropped by Rhea, and the Gospel set sail again, slowly heading towards the next island following the guidance of the record pointer.
During this period, Robin, who was about to return to his room to rest, unexpectedly discovered that a certain porthole in the cabin had been covered with a layer of frost. The ice flowers on the frost twisted into two words:
Congratulations!
…………
At the same time that the Gospel sailed away from Rapeseed Port, the Navy also quickly kept a file of Ornn's latest photo, and then sent the photo to several of the most well-known media outlets in the pirate world via fax machine.
New World, World Economic News Service Headquarters.
"Big news, this is really big news!"
In the president's office, "News King" Morgans looked at the photo on his desk and couldn't help but excitedly flapped his big wings several times.
In the photo, Aoun, who is only 23 years old, is carrying the blasting knife and flying foam, with his chin slightly raised and smiling, with a confident and cold expression.
"I never expected that Ornn would be so young, and he would defeat Crocodile not long after entering the Grand Line, and snatch the position of King Shichibukai from him. Wow, it's really surprising. Expect it!”
"Unexpectedness is the gimmick, the gimmick is the news, and the news is Pele!"
Morgans’ eyes became brighter and brighter:
"Inspiration, inspiration for creation is constantly emerging!"
Placing Aoun's photo on the big blackboard in front of the office, Morgans stared at the photo for a moment, then grabbed the quill on the side and wrote quickly. In less than half an hour, he wrote an article The eloquent news report is done.
After carefully examining his masterpiece to make sure that there were no errors or omissions and that it was full of gimmicks, Morgans called his secretary and warned:
"Go and print this news into tomorrow's World Economic News. It must be arranged as the front page headline! Use this photo under the title. Time is money, and exclusive news is life. Go, go!"
Under Morgans's urging, the printer roared all night long, and newspapers came out freshly.
Gu Gu Gu Gu...
Early the next morning, tens of thousands of newsbirds flew around the world carrying newspapers still smelling of ink.
Newspapers fell from people's heads one after another. Among the flying newspapers, the thick black and bold front page headlines and the huge color photos were so eye-catching:
【The Strongest Rookie King! Crocodile was defeated, and new pirate Eric Ornn succeeded him as king of the Shichibukai! ! ! 】
