One Piece: Divine Bird Phoenix

"Alala, Marshal of the Warring States Period, I think there is something wrong with this plan!"

Kuzan's lazy voice echoed in the crowded conference hall, interrupting the rest of the people's browsing.

"Kuzan, what's wrong with this plan?"

If someone else had suggested that there was something wrong with the plan that he and Ahe had spent days and nights working on, Sengoku would have asked someone to take him out without hesitation.

But if it is Kuzan, then he must have his reasons. Even the Warring States Period who ate the fruit of the Buddha cannot do it without leakage.

"Marshal of the Warring States Period, why is there no content about An in this battle plan?"

"So that's what happened." Warring States, who was worried about what went wrong with the plan just now, breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Don't worry! I've thought of this a long time ago, but I just didn't write it into the battle plan."

Seeing the other party's disinterested look, Kuzan suddenly realized that the Warring States Marshal seemed to have only known An a few years ago.

"Marshal Warring States, I think you may have some misunderstandings about An's strength. An Zao is no longer the girl who made small fuss.

"She deserves our high attention now. I say without hesitation that with her current strength, she is fully capable of affecting the direction of the entire war!"

As soon as Kuzan finished speaking, the entire headquarters conference room fell silent.

The senior navy officials who were flipping through the documents stopped what they were doing and looked up at Kuzan in confusion. An and the others naturally know each other, and their strength is indeed pretty good, but when it comes to influencing the war, it is a bit exaggerated.

In this top battle that brings together the navy's top combat forces, there are only a few people who can influence the direction of the war.

Stretching out his fingers to count them, they were nothing more than the three admirals of the navy, Whitebeard and only ten others.

Being able to be placed in this position by Navy Admiral Aokiji shows that the opponent's strength is at least at the level of an admiral.

Seeing everyone's doubts, Kuzan stood up straight away, unbuttoned his upper suit one by one, and exposed his chest.

Even though a week had passed, Kuzan's chest still bore the scars from that battle.

The once strong and smooth skin disappeared, leaving behind a large piece of red skin that was burned beyond recognition and the ugly, twisted and indescribable flame scar.

Between these flame scars, there are seven or eight circular wounds stabbed with sharp instruments.

Looking at the scarred body, the doubts in the minds of everyone present disappeared, leaving only the shock of An's powerful strength.

Ghost Spider and all the senior navy officials who had interacted with An were shocked.

Recalling the time when the other party left the navy, it only took 8 years at all costs. It took only 8 years for her to have such a strong strength, which shows how powerful her talent is.

"Marshal of the Warring States Period, An is no longer the little girl she was before. She has completely grown up."

"At that time, if Porusalino hadn't come to support me, I might really have died!"

There was no doubt in his calm tone, and Kuzan expressed all his judgments.

"Leave Ann's matter to me! You put on your clothes first. If the situation deteriorates to the point where it cannot be ended, I will take action myself."

"No matter what, our navy has only one goal in this battle -"

"That is to completely eliminate the Whitebeard Pirates, thus destroying the morale of the pirates and completely ending the era of great pirates."

Warring States looked solemn, his eyes full of determination.

…

Windless zone, push forward the city.

The dark prison was filled with a depressing atmosphere, and the damp and musty smell on the walls revealed the wasted years and the pain of time.

The iron bars exude a cold atmosphere, as if they are ruthless guardians, completely isolating the prisoners from the outside world.

The dim and dim oil lamp gave off a faint light, casting mottled shadows in the empty prison.

The lowest level of the underwater prison is called the sixth level of infinite hell by the world.

The people imprisoned here are all great people. If you point out a person from any of the cells, they were all powerful figures on the sea.

At the end of the dark and long prison, an old kerosene lamp glowed dimly.

Under the dim light, a tall figure wearing a yellow and white striped suit was sitting on a chair, looking intently in front of him.

This person is none other than Admiral Kizaru, who was absent from the Navy Headquarters meeting.

Since the public execution was decided, in order to prevent An from destroying the impel city to rescue Ace, the door of this special cell has been guarded every day.

Previously, the two directors of Impel Down City, Magellan and Nozomi, took turns taking care of him. They were replaced by Kizaru just before the execution.

"well--!"

"When I hugged you from your mother's hands, I once thought about what kind of life you would have."

"Originally, I planned to make you and Luffy become excellent marines, but now it seems that I have failed."

With a long sigh, Garp's pupils reflected Ace's embarrassed look, and his tone was full of unexplainable flavor.

"I never imagined that you two brothers would become pirates together."

"You've heard the rumors about Luffy, right?"

"He screamed at the World Government in the 'Water City' and captured the 'Enies Lobby' on Judiciary Island. After hearing about it, I immediately rushed to his side and gave him a fist full of love, but that guy didn't do anything. repentance."

"He looks like he's determined to be the Pirate King!"

"It's so stupid, but this is my grandson!"

"Hahaha!"

A series of laughter echoed in the dark and silent prison, but no big pirate dared to express dissatisfaction.

"Grandpa, stop talking. Luffy and I both inherited the blood of the world's most vicious criminals and cannot become marines."

"If you hadn't brought back my sister back then, I might have felt guilty to death for having half of my sinful blood flowing through my body."

"For that bastard who left me no memory or kindness, I prefer my sister who takes care of me like a mother."

"Grandpa, this is the first and last time I beg you. Please return the cowboy hat on my head to my sister after I die..."

Silence and loneliness permeated the darkness, with only the occasional groans and coughs of prisoners wandering around the prison.

High-purity seafloor stone handcuffs lifted Ace's hands, and two thigh-thick chains bound his legs on the ground.

"Tick tock!"

His eyes were like heavy rain, and gem-like tears fell to the floor. Ace raised his head that had been buried and looked at Garp with a satisfied, free and regretful smile on his face.

"Grandpa, please tell my sister, thank you for her companionship over the years, allowing me to spend a childhood like ordinary people..."

"Mr. Karp, it's getting late, we should set off!"

Kizaru, who had been paying attention to the time, signaled the prison guard not far away to open the cell door and prepare to escort Ace to the Demon Slayer Order warship docked at the dock of Impel Down City.

The cold wind blew through the corridor, bringing with it bursts of eerie roaring. The dead outside the world are whistling, wailing, and longing.

(These two days are considered to be the preparation for the war on the top, and tomorrow we will enter the theme.

In the past, when I wrote a chapter, when I read it, I always felt that it was too stiff and difficult to read.

Yesterday I accidentally clicked on the audio book and found that it sounded pretty good, at least there was no sense of dissonance.

In addition, I would like to thank the readers who are still reading this book. I also know that the system settings of this book are simply a mess and are of no use at all. As you can see now Thank you very much. )
