Pirates: From Vice Captain to Lord of the Dead

As long as she could be accepted by them, she was willing to give up everything else.

"Alala, don't be so anxious. It's like I'm a bad person."

Facing their indignation, Aokiji stretched out his little finger to scratch his ear, not caring at all, and said lazily:

"She was the one who attacked just now, right? I haven't said what I'm going to do to you yet. Didn't I say at the beginning that I'm on vacation today?"

Hearing this, the group looked at each other in silence for a moment.

It seems like a bit of an overreaction?

Aokiji sighed and lay down on the ground again, feeling a little aggrieved, as if he had become a villain for no apparent reason. He glanced around again and stopped his gaze on Reiner.

"Your name is Reiner, right? I've read the report from Alabasta. Smoker even mentioned that he was injured by you with a seastone bullet in Rogue Town."

Aokiji looked confused, as if hesitating about something, and then he continued:

"Forget about the other members of the Straw Hat Pirates, but Smoker is my best friend. What should I do? I don't want to let you go."

Reiner: “.”

Not you! Me! ! ! ! !

Hearing this, the others also turned their eyes to Reiner.

"Reiner, you have to solve your own grudges yourself."

"That's right, how can I drag down my companions?"

"Go Reiner!"

The cowardly trio spoke one by one, and Nami even kicked him directly in front of Aokiji.

Reiner turned around, bared his teeth, and yelled at everyone: "Hey bastards! Why is your attitude different now?"

"The main thing is that I can't help if they come after you."

"If you can't beat us, it will be difficult for us too." Zoro and Sanji spread their hands at the same time.

You guys really think too highly of me, Reiner retracted his serious expression, turned around, and looked down at Aokiji.

Although I don't want to fight, if I have to, it's worth getting beaten up just to show my attitude to Robin.

The two looked at each other, and neither of them moved.

Yoshihisa

"Well, forget it."

Aokiji patted his butt and stood up, sweeping the weeds off his clothes, put his hands in his pockets and stood straight, saying seriously:

"After all, the Navy owes you a favor. The matter of Alabasta is written off. Next time we meet, I will not hold back on you."

Aokiji felt that the test was enough. As he said at the beginning, he was not here to arrest them, and Aokiji couldn't help but look at Reiner again.

This man must have a lot of moves waiting for him. It always feels like it will take some effort to fight him.

Aokiji turned his head and shouted into the house in a deep and heavy voice, "You can come out now, old man. I'll take you to find your companions."

Chapter 101: A Thought of Ice and Snow

Following Aokiji's shout, a short figure walked out of the yurt.

He had an old face and a thick white beard on his chin. He looked up at Aokiji and said, "Um, you are alright, right, Navy boy?"

"Eh? This old man."

Luffy looked at the figure walking out, then looked at Aokiji, scratched his head and asked in confusion: "Why isn't he as tall as you?"

Aokiji: “.”

"That marine is just tall!" Usopp shouted unhappily.

Everyone watched the short old man constantly pulling things out of the yurt, and Aokiji chatted with them without any hesitation.

It turned out that after he arrived on the island, he found this old man who had been standing on stilts for ten years because of his fear of heights, and he rescued him by the way.

Changhuan Island is composed of ten small islands. Due to geographical factors, the residents here have the habit of migrating and they move to the next island every once in a while.

Everyone else left, leaving the old man on stilts on the island for ten years, with only his beloved horse, Shirley, whose neck was like a giraffe, waiting for him.

Soon, the old man moved all the supplies out of the house, and finally packed them up together with the yurt, and piled them on a rough cart made of wooden stakes, with the white horse Shirley on the reins.

"Um, Navy boy, I've prepared everything as you said, but..."

The old man on stilts looked up at Aokiji, opened his wrinkled mouth and asked: "What are you going to give me? It seems that you only have that."

The old man on stilts raised his short arms and pointed at the bicycle lying on the ground.

"Well~, don't worry, there will be a way, but..." Aokiji put his hands on his waist, a white cloak slung over his wrists, scratched his head with one hand and said in embarrassment:

"Your companions are on the third island. It will take two days to get there using a horse-drawn carriage. You don't seem to have enough food."

"Don't worry!" a voice interrupted, and Luffy grinned, "We can send you some food, grandpa."

"Thank you very much."

The old man on stilts stroked his big white beard and turned his old face to Luffy, "So you are good people, I thought you were pirates."

"Ah, we are pirates!" Luffy responded simply with a smile and his hands on his hips.

"——hiss!" The old man took a breath.

At the edge of the island, waves gently lapped against the shore. A pile of carts was filled with more food. A group of people stood on the grass. In front of them was Aokiji, who was dressed in light blue and squatting on the shore.

Is this really possible? This is too exaggerated. Reiner was secretly shocked. He knew what the other party was going to do, so he couldn't help but marvel at it.

Although it is made up of ten small islands, each island is not small. It would take two days for a big horse to pull a cart across the island, so you can imagine how far the distance is.

The cold air gradually emanated from Aokiji. With him as the center, the green grass within a few meters was covered with a layer of white frost. Aokiji stretched out his palm and immersed it in the sea. The sea water slowly condensed into white ice and spread out.

"——Ice Age!"

Swish-!

A flash of white instantly swept across the entire sea level!

It was as if time had stopped and space had frozen, and the azure blue sea had turned into an endless expanse of ice and snow in the blink of an eye!

"Just kidding!"

"Hey! This is a bit too outrageous!"

Everyone in the Straw Hat Pirates opened their mouths and eyes wide, they were shocked beyond words!

Even if it is sea water, freezing such a large area of sea surface in an instant is far beyond everyone's imagination.

It was not until this moment that they truly felt the meaning of the so-called general, which was——

The World Government's Highest Fighting Force!!

Reiner is no exception. Until he saw it with his own eyes, he realized how difficult it is to do such a thing in an instant. The effect of the ability is inseparable from both physical fitness and development.

Although Reiner has sufficient physical strength, the output of the mage undead still depends on the strength of the template and the degree of development of the fruit. Among them, Ace and Crocodile have the highest physical values, but they are obviously not comparable to Aokiji.

If a fight had really broken out just now, Aokiji would have easily resolved all other means except for high-speed and high-damage lightning.

"Okay, this piece of ice can last for seven days and will connect to the third island."

Aokiji stood up, turned around, picked up his bicycle, put his coat on his shoulders and looked at their group of people. The people who saw them couldn't help but clench their hands.

However, Aokiji just slowly got on his bicycle and prepared to leave, saying lightly: "Then I'm leaving too, Ghana~~"

After saying that, Aokiji rode his bicycle away from the ice.

"Goodbye, Marine brother~" The old man on stilts sat on Shirley's back, waving and shouting at Aokiji on the ice, then turned back to look at the Straw Hat Pirates behind him.

"And you, thank you, pirates. I have to leave now."

"Ah, goodbye grandpa, and Shirley!" Luffy waved with a smile, as if he didn't care at all about Aokiji's arrival.

"Huh~~" Nami breathed a sigh of relief, covering her chest with both hands and sighing with lingering fear, "This is too scary, I thought I was going to be arrested."

"As a natural disaster-level natural type, the owner of the Thunder Fruit ability, you are really..."

Reiner looked at Nami speechlessly. It's bad enough that you hid behind him, but you just kicked him out. I think you are itching for trouble.

"What's the matter! I'm just a weak woman!" Nami raised her fist and shouted with gritted teeth.

"In short, it's best if we don't fight." Reiner pushed away Nami's fist, lit a cigarette, and said,

"It will take some time for the magnetic field here to be stored. Robin, I'll leave it to you. Let's go get ready and have a picnic later."

"That sounds great, a picnic!"

Luffy was so excited that he was about to catch the prey. He was the only one there and had forgotten the shock brought by Aokiji's terrifying strength.

Nami went to comfort Robin and chat about some girl's topics. Although Robin still couldn't forget about Aokiji, she pretended not to care and chatted with Nami, slowly getting over her previous emotions.

Reiner summoned the undead to collect firewood and build a pile of firewood. Everyone was busy with their own things and soon started their lunch picnic.

It was a sunny day. On the open plain, the breeze blew across the green grass, creating ripples.

Under a tall and slender poplar tree, young people sitting in a circle were laughing and talking happily, leaving all their unpleasantness behind in the relaxed atmosphere.

After two days of staying, the record pointer was finally full and slowly drifted to the next island.

The group boarded the Merry and continued their voyage to the next unknown island, at least unknown to most of the crew.

After three days of sailing

The sun was shining, white clouds were rolling, a small sheep-headed boat was floating gently in the blue sea, and a seabird flew over the water and picked up a small fish.

On the deck of the Merry, Zoro was sleeping against the thick mast. Several people were playing and joking around him, making fun of Zoro while he was sleeping from time to time.

At the door of the living room on the second floor, a small white table was placed next to the railing along the edge of the ship, with two cups of coffee on the table.

Reiner leaned back in his chair with his legs crossed, holding a pen and paper as he took inventory of the supplies on the ship and wrote down on the list the odds and ends he was going to purchase.

Creak~

"This door makes such a loud noise." Sanji walked out of the living room with a tray and couldn't help but say as he looked at the shaky wooden door.

"Since setting sail from the East China Sea, the Merry has become tattered."

"Well, it happens that we're almost at the Seven Water Capital, so we can ask the shipwright to take a look then." Reiner turned around and responded.
