Pirate's Strongest Passerby

one hour ago.

The great route.

The blue sky is clear, and a large warship floats on the vast sea. The flag of the navy is fluttering in the wind. There are two turrets on the bow of the ship. They are pointed at the sea and seem to be able to hit the target accurately at any time.

"Ha~"

A middle-aged man wearing a blue plaid suit and a navy coat stood on the fort with his trouser pockets inserted, yawning, his lazy eyes looking lifeless, and rubbing his nose with the back of his index finger.

The sailors on the warship were all neatly dressed, looked solemn, and stared ahead like eagles.

"General Aokiji, there is news about the Drake Pirates!"

At this time, a bearded Vice Admiral walked eagerly behind Aokiji, holding a phone with eyes raised, and said respectfully, his face shining with light.

His eyes were very sharp, and there was a burn scar on the left side of his face.

"Oh, so fast?"

Qingzhi pursed his lips indifferently, turned around, took the phone from Bugs, and spoke gently into the phone:

"Moses Moses~~"

"Ah! This voice...is it General Aokiji?"

The phone bug raised his eyes in surprise, looking very excited:

"This is the G274 forward exploration team of the Naval Branch Base. I am Rear Admiral Joseph! Admiral Aokiji, I have always admired you. I am so lucky to be able to serve you this time. This is simply the honor of my life! Speaking of last time

I saw you with my own eyes at the awarding meeting..."

Listening to the conversation on the other side, which was quite eloquent, Qing Zhi felt that his ears were calloused. He picked out his ears with his ring finger and said:

"Uh... Okay, so, were you the one who discovered the Drake Pirates?"

"Oh! I almost forgot about the real thing!"

The phone bug showed an expression of sudden realization, as if he had been struck by lightning. Then he coughed twice and regained his composure. Joseph said:

"General Aokiji, according to eyewitness confirmation, the Drake Pirates appeared in Demon Valley Town, and their activities seemed to be somewhat active. They caused a sensation not long after they landed on the island, and people on the island are now panicked.

Because I heard that this mission was arranged by you, we dare not act rashly without your order.

However, I have sent all my spies to keep an eye on them, and they have not left Demon Valley Town yet."

Qing Pheasant hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha)

Although it literally means praise, judging from his usual calm tone when he said it, it didn't feel like he was bragging to others.

“I am so grateful to receive your praise!”

The phone bug showed awe-inspiring eyes, and after a moment of silence, the phone bug's eyes became solemn, and Joseph continued:

"Although it's a bit offensive, I still have to report another thing to you. Traveling with the Drake Pirates is Fire Fist Ace, the captain of the second team of the Whitebeard Pirates. They seem to have a close relationship... You said

, will the Drake Pirates have joined the Whitebeard Pirates?"

"Fire Fist Ace?"

Aokiji's eyes became slightly brighter, then the light dimmed, and he replied: "This possibility is not ruled out. The Whitebeard Pirates seem to be very active recently, making the new world less peaceful...

Although the Yonko side is temporarily stable, there's no telling when they will cause trouble for the government. I haven't had a good night's sleep for a long time just thinking about things there...

In short, you must not act rashly before I come here. If you alert the enemy, my trip will be in vain."

His voice was very soft and light, without any aggressiveness, but every word he said was like thunder in Joseph's ears, making people stunned.

Involuntarily, Joseph's admiration and support for Qing Pheasant grew even more.

"Yes, General Qing Pheasant."

The phone bug's eyes widened, and one could imagine that the other party was giving a military salute.

"Well..." Qingzhi was silent for a while, seemingly careless, and then said: "By the way, what's your name?"

This guy, Doro introduced himself at the beginning, but he still didn't remember Doro's name.

"...!"

The phone bug looked ashamed and said in a deep voice:

"Reporting to General Aokiji, I am Rear Admiral G274 of the Naval Branch Base, Joseph!"

"Well, I understand, then you can go about your business."

After hanging up the phone, Aokiji's whole body seemed to collapse, and he returned to his lazy expression.

"Oh, Lieutenant General Doro, it sounds like you know Fire Fist Ace, right?"

Qing Zhi walked to a bench and lay down, and said calmly.

"Yes, I was ordered to hunt him down three years ago."

Lieutenant General Doluo's eyes flashed with a sharp haze, he pointed at the scar on the left side of his face and said coldly:

"He has the ability to use the Burning Fruit. He has the ability to use fire. It's really embarrassing to say that this scar was given to him back then."

The scars made his face look even more ferocious, and he didn't notice that Qingzhi beside him had calmly covered his eyes with an eyepatch and folded his hands to cover his abdomen.

Lieutenant General Doluo looked solemn and recalled:

"Three years ago, I was ordered to hunt him down and force him to fight on the deserted island of Portore. At first, I had the upper hand, but his pirate group was also cornered by my subordinates.

I thought that everything would be as expected and he would be captured and brought to justice, but who would have thought that that guy actually mastered Armament Haki in a desperate situation, severely injured me, and left this scar on my face."

Sighing, Lieutenant General Doluo said with regret: "Although I am very reluctant to do so, I have to admit that that guy is a combat genius."

When he thought of Fire Fist Ace, Doro felt a dull pain from the scar on his face. That pirate who was so unpredictable really gave him a headache.

"Yeah! General Qing Pheasant?"

Doluo frowned and hummed. When he realized there was no reply, he immediately looked back.

The sound of gentle snoring was heard, and Lieutenant General Doluo's face could not help but tremble twice.

Who would have thought that General Qing Pheasant would fall asleep in such a short period of time?

Then wouldn’t everything I said before be in vain?

He shook his head and took a deep breath to calm down. Aokiji's sleepy habit was well known in the navy. Basically everyone in the navy knew about it, and Doro was not surprised.

Doro glanced at the man who was lying on the bench and snoring quietly. He knew that there were only three generals, but not everyone could sit on it.

There is no doubt about Aokiji's strength, and he can definitely support the facade of the World Government.

This is a complete monster!

Monsters always have elusive and unique quirks that no one can understand and no one needs to understand.

Because they have the strength to silence others’ criticism!

"Let him have a good rest before the war begins."

Doro thought to himself.

"Send the order to the entire army, turn the steering wheel and head towards Demon Valley Town!"

Without disturbing Qing Zhi's rest, Doluo opened his eyes and shouted loudly. Everyone on the warship immediately stepped forward to salute with their handles, all with righteousness and awe-inspiring flags fluttering in the wind.
