Pirates: Vice Captain of the Nine Snakes Pirates!

"Marshal Aokiji, there are unusual movements in the Blackbeard Pirates!" A naval lieutenant hurried to Marshal Aokiji's office.

"The Blackbeard Pirates, didn't they just occupy the Beehive Island? What are they doing now?" Aokiji asked with confusion in his eyes after stopping the pen in his hand.

The strategy he formulated was to first stabilize the four seas and the maritime situation in the first half of the Grand Route.

As for the New World, their navy is currently unable to intervene there and can only defend the existing islands and contend with the major forces in the New World.

After all, what pirates care most about is finding the one piece of great treasure!

"Marshal Aokiji, look at this, the Blackbeard Pirates seem to be out of control now!" said the navy lieutenant in a somewhat hurried tone.

"The Island-Island Fruit, the mythical beast-type Nine-Tailed Fox Fruit. Does your intelligence department mean that the Blackbeard Pirates have the ability to plunder devil fruits?" Aokiji's face suddenly became serious.

"Yes!"

"Marshal Aokiji, according to the intelligence we have obtained, Otokoshi Van Oka ate the Teleportation Fruit, the Evil King Avalo Pizarro ate the Island-Island Fruit, and the Crescent Moon Hunter Katrin Diemi ate the Mythical Beast Nine-Tailed Fox Fruit.

You have to know that these devil fruits had owners before, but now they are in the hands of the Blackbeard Pirates.

All this shows that the Blackbeard Pirates have some means to plunder other people's devil fruits!" The Navy Lieutenant reported the latest intelligence to Aokiji nervously.

Aokiji listened quietly, frowning more and more, thinking to himself: "Could it be that the Blackbeard Pirates have mastered a method to seize other people's devil fruits?

If this is true, it is a huge threat to the entire world..."

He took a deep breath, stood up, walked to the window, looked at the sea outside the window, and said to himself: "It seems that I need to re-evaluate the strength and threat level of the Blackbeard Pirates..."

"Marshal Aokiji, what should we do?" asked the navy lieutenant commander anxiously.

Aokiji was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "Continue to collect information about the Blackbeard Pirates and keep a close eye on their every move.

At the same time, we will strengthen our research on devil fruits to see if we can find a way to deal with their abilities."

"Yes, Marshal Aokiji!" The navy lieutenant commander took the order and left.

Aokiji looked at his departing back and sighed with a heavy heart.

He knew that facing such a powerful and mysterious Blackbeard Pirates, the Navy must be fully prepared.

As a marshal, he had a heavier burden on his shoulders.

Due to the intervention of Nine Snake Island, Blackbeard now has lost the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, and so far, he has not been able to find a second suitable devil fruit.

Therefore, in the ocean today, except for Nine Snake Island, no one knows about Blackbeard's special physique.

Nine Snake Island has not been busy since Jellal came back.

With the current strength of their Nine Snake Island, even if the war in the future comes, their Nine Snake Island will be invincible.

After fooling around for a year or so, the captains of the Nine Snakes Pirate Group returned to Nine Snakes Island one after another.

"Yo~~~"

"Is our archaeologist back?" In the royal palace training ground, Jellal was lying on a mat watching Castilita train, when suddenly Robin walked in.

"Wow~~~"

"Sister Robin, you're back~~~" Seeing Robin appear, Castilita immediately stopped training and ran towards Robin happily.

“Wuhehehe~~~”

"Caslita, long time no see. Our little princess is getting cuter and cuter." Robin picked up Castlita with a smile.

"Hehehe, Sister Robin is also very beautiful~~~" Castilita said sweetly.

The captains of the Nine Snakes Pirates all like Castilita, especially Robin. She feels very close to Castilita every time she sees her.

Maybe Robin was thinking of his own childhood.

"That's rude. You should call Robin Auntie, okay?" Gerard said pretending to be angry.

"No, I want to call Robin Sister, Dad. Sister Robin is so young, why do you want me to call her Auntie!" Castilita said with a pout.

"That's right, Jellal, do you mean to say that I'm old?" Robin rolled her eyes at Jellal, revealing her charming and mature style.

"How does this have anything to do with age? It's a matter of seniority." Jellal was not to be outdone and rolled his eyes at Robin.

"Lord Gerard, Lady Snake asks you to go to her place." At this time, a maid came in to report.

"Okay, I got it. I'll be there right away." Gerard stood up and said gently to the maid.

He tidied his clothes and hair and prepared to go to where the empress was.

"Caslita, you play with Robin for a while. I have to go to your mother's place. Robin, please help me watch Castlita and don't let her run out." Jellal came to Robin, gently stroked Castlita's head, and reminded her.

Castilita's little eyes were just moving around quickly, and she was about to go out and play, but after hearing what Jellal said, her little eyes widened instantly, revealing an expression of disbelief.

She muttered to herself, "Oh my! I was planning to sneak out and play while Daddy is away, but now I've been discovered again..."

"I know. I will take good care of Castilita." Robin responded with a smile. She patted Castilita's shoulder gently to comfort her.

Castilita sighed helplessly, turned her head, snorted angrily at Jellal, then quickly turned around and buried her little face in Robin's warm arms, like a wronged little animal.

She rubbed Robin's chest like a spoiled child, muttering, "Humph, Dad is so annoying. He won't even let me go out to play..."

Seeing Castilita's cute appearance, Jellal couldn't help but laugh.

He walked to the door, looked back at Robin who was trying to cheer up Castilita, and gently said, "Then you two wait for me. I'll play with you when I come back~"

After saying that, he walked out of the training ground and left to find the empress.

Seeing Gerard leaving, Castilita rolled her eyes and said, "Sister Robin, let's go out and play. We won't wait for Dad. Let's go to the Sabaody Archipelago!"

"That won't do, Castilita, the Sabaody Archipelago is not safe.

Or~~~"

"Let's go play with Shirahoshi, what do you think?" Robin gently discussed with Castilita.

"Okay~~~"

"I knew I couldn't go out to play. Alas, now even the princess has no freedom."

"Then~~~ let's go find Shirahoshi to play." Castilita sighed in a mature manner.

“Wuhehehe~~~”

"Let's go, you smart little girl." Robin pinched Castilita's chubby face and carried her towards Shirahoshi's Water Palace.
