The bloody hand Mary of the pirate

There is a considerable time difference between the East China Sea and Albana and other places. It is not yet completely dark at this time. Under dusk, the originally golden sunset is now covered with a strange rose-red color on the sea as if stained with blood.

"The sky is getting gloomy."

Smoker stood at the dock of Rogge Town, looking at the suddenly cloudy sky, and frowned.

"I have a bad feeling. Is something going to happen today?"

"Captain Smoker, the entire navy has returned to the team, please give instructions."

A navy soldier stood behind Smoker and saluted.

Smoker nodded: "Let the people on duty be on guard today, and those who have just returned from a long voyage have a good rest."

He had just finished an expedition. After Mary left, Smoker would conduct expedition training in the East China Sea every once in a while to strengthen the will of the naval soldiers.

Of course, he also had the selfish intention of maybe picking up another Mary.

Facts have proved that genius is not so easy to come across.

"yes!"

The navy soldier turned and left, and soon after, a woman with peach hair walked behind Smoker.

"Colonel Smoker, here is the information from headquarters."

"Thank you, Colonel Iska."

Smoker said, turning around to receive the information from Iska.

(Iska, a character in the official novel Ace Prequel, a female navy in the East China Sea)

Looking at Iska with his head half lowered, Smoker scratched his head.

"Colonel Iska, there is no need for you to be so reserved with me. There is no difference in military rank between you and me, and you are the one who hunted down Ace, the Fire Fist. We are on the same level."

"The headquarters asks me to assist you, so naturally you will come first."

Iska said seriously.

"Hiss... Why do I feel like the people around me are either stubborn or crazy, and they are not easy to get along with."

Smoker complained helplessly, then took out a cigar and handed it to Iska.

"Want it?"

"No, I don't smoke."

After Iska shook his head and refused, Smoker shrugged and lit his cigar.

"It's a pity. This cigar was given by Mary. The taste is quite unique. I personally think it's okay for novices to try it."

"I don't like the smell of smoke."

Iska still answered with a serious face, but when he heard Mary's name, his expression changed slightly.

"Is the Mary that the colonel is talking about the legendary navy of our headquarters, Lieutenant General Mary Vinicius?"

"yes."

"I once heard that Mary joined the navy in the East China Sea a year ago and fought alongside Captain Smoker."

Iska whispered: "I originally thought this was just a rumor to add a sense of legend to Lieutenant General Mary, but I didn't expect it to be true."

"One year... Was Vice Admiral Mary very strong before joining the Navy?"

"No, she was very weak at that time."

Smoker did not hesitate to expose Mary's background.

"When I first joined, I could hold her down and fight with one hand, and she even almost lost to a little pirate with a million-dollar bounty."

"How is that possible?"

Iska was startled when he heard this and looked at Smoker in disbelief.

Smoker seemed to have anticipated Iska's reaction and nodded very calmly.

"In one year, Mary has gone from being far inferior to me to being able to fight Mihawk alone. Hmm, how could this monster be called the Legendary Marine without this kind of talent?"

"You know, when people talk about naval heroes outside now, they mostly refer to Mary. Times have changed."

Looking at Smoker who was feeling quite sad, Iska felt a little sore in his throat.

After a long time, she asked softly:

"I heard from other sailors before that you and Mary fought against Crocodile together..."

"Didn't you read the newspaper?"

Smoker raised his eyebrows in surprise, "At that time, newspapers should have been covering this matter all over the place. Well, it was probably only more than half a year ago."

"At that time, I was chasing other pirates on the Grand Line and was maneuvering at high speed. I really didn't know about this."

Iska shook his head.

"I see, but in the pursuit of the Grand Line, you are worthy of being favored by the headquarters." Smoker smiled, "At that time, there were actually three people working together to fight against Crocodile. How much force did I exert?

The least of the individuals. The other person is just because he has a different stance and the Navy does not have much publicity."

"Who is the third person?"

"'Fire Fist' Ace."

Smoker looked at Iska with a half-smile: "It's interesting, two people with completely different positions can fight side by side, and comrades who have been together through difficulties will turn against each other because of their different positions."

"..."

Iska suddenly felt a little heavy.

"In other words, when it comes to war..."

"Well, it can be said that Mary killed his father in front of Ace." Smoker shook his head indifferently, "But it doesn't matter. Mary is the kind of person who regards justice as an ideal that transcends everything. Although I

I still don’t quite understand her justice, but thinking about it, she definitely won’t regret killing Whitebeard.”

"It would be better to say that that guy has never regarded Ace as his friend."

Having said this, Smoker suddenly let out a long sigh and looked up at the sky with a somewhat dazed look.

"Such a long time has passed in the blink of an eye, but it doesn't seem like that long has passed."

"Mary's progress is too fast, and the times are changing too fast. It seems like a new world will change in a few days."

"..."

Facing the emotion of the senior who was much older than her, Iska very wisely chose to remain silent.

Smoker wasn't too sad. He just sighed for a moment and stuffed the cigar back into his mouth.

"Forget it, let's just defend the East China Sea. Don't think about those things if you don't have their talent."

"Go back."

After that, he walked towards the naval base.

Iska followed closely behind him.

And just when they had not taken a few steps out, Smoker suddenly felt chills all over his body.

His whole body suddenly shook, and the cigar in Smoker's mouth fell to the ground.

He didn't see any danger coming, but out of his years of experience at sea, he turned around at the first opportunity and threw Iska down.

"——"

A white bullet streaked across their backs.

If Smoker hadn't reacted in time just now, this bullet could have penetrated Iska's left eye and Smoker's eyebrow.

and……

"Armed colors?"

Smoker's pupils shrank to the point of pinpoint, and at the same time, there was a belated scream in the air as a bullet casing streaked through the air.

"Colonel Smoker, this is..."

Although Iska was a little inferior to Smoker in strength, he could still clearly feel the murderous intent of the bullets whizzing by.

"!"

Smoker didn't have time to answer. With a sharp look in his eyes, he jumped into the air and flicked away a flying bullet with a wave of his hands.

The huge force from the bullet made Smoker couldn't help but take a few steps back.

It was this moment that made his expression suddenly change. He looked towards the sea and his expression became serious.

"Iska!" He immediately and decisively put into a combat posture, and his body spread half-empty and half-real: "A strong enemy is coming, the entire island is on alert. Contact the nearest naval base and naval headquarters immediately to request support, immediately!"

"yes!"

Iska turned around and ran out without any hesitation.

It's not unreasonable for Smoker to react so violently. What he saw was no ordinary person.

"Blackbeard..."

Smoker's hands were clenched.

"Hahahaha, thief - Oka, your marksmanship is a bit backward. You can't even kill an entire navy in the East China Sea with one shot."

On a small boat, Blackbeard laughed wildly while eating apple pie.

Van Oka put down the gun in his hand expressionlessly.

"That's not an ordinary person. The one in Rogge Town who can have such skills... I'm afraid it's that Smoker."

"Smorg?"

Blackbeard was stunned for a moment, then laughed even louder.

"Isn't this a coincidence? We originally came to see Smoker."

As he spoke, he turned back and looked behind the deck.

"Raven, since you are disabled, how about I grab a natural fruit for you?"

"In this case, your broken arm can be somewhat compensated for, right?"

"……Um."

An extremely gloomy and hoarse voice came from the deck behind.

"Hahaha!"

Blackbeard laughed twice, then straightened his body, black energy rising from his hands.

"Then let's fight quickly, thief, hahaha. Don't waste too long in the East China Sea!",

"Oka, snipe that female marine!"

"yes."

Van Oka answered succinctly, raised his gun, and aimed at Iska from a distance of more than a thousand meters.

Then, a shot was fired.

The bullet crossed the rifling and made an elegant friction sound. Then, with a flash of fire, a pitch-black projectile appeared in Rogge Town.

"Otonoko" Van Oka, one of the most terrifying snipers in the world.

Iska felt a cold feeling behind him and immediately turned around. A bullet was already in front of him.

She immediately waved the long sword in her hand and narrowly missed the bullet.

Just when she breathed a sigh of relief, another bullet appeared behind the bullet.

"What……"

Before she could finish her words, the bullet penetrated her right breast.

When the blood spurted out, even though the bullet had penetrated the body, the huge residual force still took Iska's body flying out and nailed it to the wall.

"You can't dodge bullets and even basic marksmanship? The East China Sea is really the weakest sea."

A hint of subtle disappointment flashed across Van Oka's eyes, and then he became calm again.

"Then if that's the case, go to hell."

"Boom!"

Another shot was fired, and the bullet quickly approached Iska's body. At this time, Iska's body felt like it was falling apart, and he was unable to parry.

Smoker also didn't expect that the sniper next to Blackbeard would be so powerful, and it was too late to come back for reinforcements at this time.

At the critical moment, a wild and loud voice sounded.

"Incandescent Fire·Fire Fist!"

A beam of blazing white flames shot out from the alley, turning into a huge fist that lay in front of Iska the moment the bullet approached, melting the armor-colored bullet into a puddle of molten iron.

This sudden change stunned everyone.

Smoker was the first to react. He had seen this flame before.

"White flames..."

He had seen it during the war at the top.

"Could it be that..."

In the flames, the figure of a muscular man with his upper body naked emerged.

"Hey, Iska, long time no see."

Hearing the familiar voice, Iska's eyes suddenly widened.

"Who are you……"

"Fire Fist..."

Smoker and Blackbeard's faces became serious, and they whispered in unison.

"call!--"

The flames roared and spread out suddenly.

A young man wearing a cowboy hat held down the brim of his hat. No one else could see his face, only his arrogant smile could be seen.

A string of thick red rosary beads hung around his neck, crackling in the scalding hot wind.

"I didn't expect that after practicing this far, I would have unexpected gains."

"Blackbeard!"

The man shouted loudly, and then he suddenly raised his head.

"It is better to choose a day than to hit it. It is fate to meet like this on the vast sea."

"I lost to you before, and I've always been upset about it. Now, let's fight it out again, you beast."

A furious tone and a passionate momentum.

And the blazing fire.

Everything in front of you proves the identity of the person in front of you.

This man has been silent on the sea for a long time.

"Portcas D. Ace!"

…

At the underwater base of the new world, Makarov's body froze.

The situation in front of him was beyond his control.

'Why did the people from the World Government suddenly arrive without even notifying them in advance...'

A cold sweat broke out on Makarov's forehead. He had no idea that the war ability could directly bypass the base's defense system and enter the base.

"What's wrong?" Just as Makarov hesitated, Justus asked.

Then his tone suddenly dropped: "Huh?... I was too far away just now and I didn't feel it. Mr. Makarov... is there anyone else in the room?"

"This person's aura..."

Justus' voice stopped abruptly.

Makarov felt an alarm bell ringing, and he immediately said: "Master War, this is the breath of artificial humans..."

"Stay away from the door!"

Makarov was startled when Justus' voice came.

The next moment, a loud bang spread throughout the entire submarine base.

Attila, who had been dozing, opened his eyes.

"Justus...why did you make such a big fuss?"

He whispered to the researchers who were at a loss in front of him: "I'm sorry, he may have caused you some trouble. I'm going to see what's going on."

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure disappeared from everyone's eyes.

On the ground floor, Makarov collapsed on the side of the room, looking at the door printed on the ceiling in shock.

Justus had just forced open the laboratory door, and Makarov had no time to stop him.

He could only watch helplessly as the other party's burly body walked out of the smoke.

"Sorry, the world government will compensate Mr. Vegapunk later."

Justus glanced at Makarov and said, then turned back and walked straight to the freezing cabin in the center of the room.

Makarov was startled and subconsciously stretched out his hand: "Stop!"

"..."

It's too late.

Justus stood in front of the freezing cabin, looking at the sleeping Venus, his gloomy eyes suddenly widened.

"..."

It's over.

Makarov's face suddenly turned pale.

Venus's health is not good and her mind is unstable. This is caused by some defects that the experimental subject will inevitably have. Therefore, she needs to be frozen and put to sleep regularly to maintain her body functions.

Looking at Justus's expression, Makarov could guess with his feet: This is a serious matter.

"What happened? Why is there such a big fuss?"

The waves were rising again, and before Makarov could catch his breath, a more vicissitudes of sound came from the door.

Attila appeared at the door, frowning and looking inside.

Makarov had a lump in his throat and his expression turned blue.

Justus turned around slowly, his eyes flashing.

"Teacher Attila."

"Um?"

"Livingston Palace of Vinicius."

"No...Christie."
