One Piece: I am the Master of Black Magic

Aboard the Red Forth.

Annie leaned against the side of the boat with her hands folded, looking at the man in front of her with dissatisfaction.

"You came too slowly! Can't even Kaido and Big Mom stop you?"

Ben Beckman looked at her speechlessly: "Little girl, are your perceptions of our strength a little too outrageous?"

Annie looked calm: "Nonsense, you are the Red-haired Pirates! The Two Emperors!"

BECKMAN: ...I thank you.

Shanks came to her side, stretched out his hands to rub her silky black hair into a chicken nest, and then asked with a smile: "What are we going to do next?"

Annie slapped away the rebellious hand and rolled her eyes.

Shanks immediately squatted in the corner with an aggrieved look on his face and drew circles on the ground with his index finger.

"Beckman, little Annie is not as cute as she was when she was little. When she grows up, she won't be the best in the world."

Beckman glanced at him: "She has never been cute since she was a child, and she is best friends with Lackey. What does it have to do with you?"

"You're talking nonsense. She said it herself that the whole group likes me the most!"

"That's what she told Lucky too."

Ignoring the quarrels of the mentally retarded children, Annie folded her hands and looked at the sea in the distance.

"They are here."

Several foreign ships quickly drove towards the Red Foss.The bow of the boat was densely packed with people with red and swollen eyes and tears on their faces.

Marco slowly landed on the bow.

"Dad and Ace..."

Annie raised her hand to interrupt him.

"Find a safe island. This is not the place to talk."

There was a lone boat floating on the sea, and Garp stood alone on the boat, staring at the gloomy sea in a daze.

A few months ago, on the shore of the Water City.

"What if this matter concerns your grandson?"

"Luffy?"

"No, another grandson."

Garp's expression changed, and his sharp eyes stared at Annie in front of him.

"What do you mean?"

Annie huddled in her wheelchair, her voice a little ethereal.

"Mr. Karp, who collected Roger's body after he was executed? Where was he buried?"

"What do you ask for this?"

"It's important."

"It's a matter of Ace's life."

Garp looked at her sullenly for a while, then said in a compromising tone: "It's me."

Annie's eyes lit up, and she looked at Garp with hope.

"Old man, I need Roger's bones!"

"Say it again, what do you want???"

The wind howled, and a small black spot appeared in the distant sky.As the distance got closer, the figure of the visitor gradually became clearer.

Annie, wearing a wizard's robe, stopped in front of Garp and looked at him eagerly.

Speechless.

Garp stretched out his hand and handed over a small black box.

Annie took it and left without looking back.

"Girl!"

Garp's struggling voice sounded.

"Aista..."

Annie didn't look back, and her voice blew into his ears along with the cold sea breeze.

"Old man, retire! You have sacrificed enough for justice."

The figure suddenly disappeared, and Garp stared blankly at her back, his heart getting cold and hot, hot and cold again.

In the navy's temporary headquarters, Warring States was busy processing documents. The government's accountability calls came one after another, making him full of resentment and resentment.

Garp walked in leisurely with a bag of senbei in his arms. Seeing that he was very busy, he sat on the sofa nearby and took a sip of the tea he had made.

"You bastard! Thank you for being so leisurely! Can't you see I'm so busy! You don't know how to help me!"

Sengoku roared at Garp, venting his anger.

I drank the tea in one gulp and chewed the senbei a few times.Garp suddenly looked up at Sengoku.

"Old partner, I'm retiring."

Sengoku's movements suddenly stopped, and he looked at Garp with a trace of doubt in his eyes.

"What's that look in your eyes!!!"

Warring States frowned and asked in confusion: "Why did you suddenly say you want to retire?"

Garp refilled himself a cup of tea with a bit of self-mockery on his face.

"You also know very well that after this time is over, the government will elect a new marshal. If nothing unexpected happens, they will do their best to treat Sakaski and promote him to the new marshal."

"The government no longer needs you, and I am tired. The justice that you expect, the justice that reigns in the world, and the justice that I have a clear conscience, may not come true one day."

Warring States calmed down his expression: "Kong Hui and I jointly recommended Kuzan to take over the position of marshal. If he were there..."

"It's useless."

Garp interrupted.

"You know better than I do, those bastards in the government, what they decide will never change no matter how hard you try."

"Sengoku. I have lost enough. Luffy is also a stubborn person. I don't want to, and I can't, watch my grandson go on the road again."

After using all his strength to say these words, Garp seemed to have suddenly lost his energy and energy, and his whole person became much more decadent.

Warring States pondered for a long time and tightened the pen in his hand.

"What are your plans for the future?"

Garp shook his head: "I'll probably go back to Windmill Village. By the way, I'll move Ren's tomb back."

Hearing this name, Warring States couldn't help but feel a little heavier.

"You still remember."

"Of course. We promised him back then that we would be buried together when we die. From now on, I will stay with him in Windmill Village. It's quite pitiful to be alone underground."

"I see."

Sengoku spoke calmly.He wrote quickly, and a retirement application form was quickly produced, leaving a blank space for his signature at the bottom.

"Here, sign it."

Karp took it and signed his name without hesitation.

On an island along the Grand Line.

Annie stood on the shore, and a deep male voice came from the communicator on her wrist.

"What are you going to do?"

Annie clenched her fists and spoke firmly: "Take over the territory of the Whitebeard Pirates."

"As a pirate!"

She added.

"That's a good idea."

"In addition, on the other side of the Four Seas, notify the people of the Revolutionary Army to deal with it, and be sure to capture those turbulent islands and sea areas."

"I understand, we will provide them with military support."

“Ideological dissemination and political education must also keep up.”

"Yeah. That's the arrangement."

As soon as the words changed, the man's voice took on a hint of earnestness.

"When are you coming back?"

"Hurry up, I'll be back after we deal with the Whitebeard Pirates."

"Ah."

Visibly delighted.

"I heard that you have a boyfriend? Is he the boy you had a crush on when you were a kid?"

Annie was helpless: "Teacher, can you please stop being such a gossip?"

"How can this be called gossip! My good cabbage has been fucked by a pig, why can't I care?"

"Okay, okay! Anyway, you can see it when I bring it back. See for yourself."

"I don't want to see him, let him go."

Annie: ...This grumpy little old man is quite cute.

"Come out."

Annie stood on the beach with her arms folded, without looking back.

The yellow sand flew away, and Crocodile's figure gradually solidified.

"That lightning man said you wanted to see me for something?"

Annie tossed him a communicator.

"Go and form your own force."

"What do you mean?"

"Your utopia has never been destroyed, hasn't it?"

"My alliance with you is not just for this war. I also want to occupy a place in this sea!"

"I have never underestimated your ambitions and schemes, Crocodile. In essence, we are the same kind of people and want the same things. It's just that the methods and bottom lines are different."

"Same?"

"I need strength, a powerful force. At least, I need some capital so that I can challenge the World Government in the future! Therefore, cooperation is beneficial to both of us, isn't it?"

"Haha~ Are you an enemy of the World Government?"

Hearing the sarcasm in his tone, Anne didn't care much.

"In this world, as long as people pursue freedom, aren't they all enemies of the government?"

"Or, don't you dare?"

Crocodile slowly raised the corners of his mouth.Whitebeard's words before his death kept flashing in his mind.

"What your world government is afraid of will come one day - the huge battle that will involve the entire world!"

"Interesting, deal!"
