Chapter 15: Prelude to action
When aokiji heard the words of the young man in front of him he became confused because he could feel pressure from other people except two people one of them is the one who spoke and the other one who is quietly standing on the right side of that young man or properly speaking the young boy. Because he could tell that he is very young probably 18 to 19 years old.
But the way this group was behaving there was one possibility coming to his mind which seriously he didn't want to consider which was that the young man was in-charge of this group which consisted of two of the Shichibukai and both were among the strongest of of the Shichibukai group.
and the one from whom he was extremely wary was the old blind guy with a bamboo stick in his hand, he could feel that this blind guy was as strong as he was or even stronger.
when he was mulling over what to do he heard the fat pig.
"Hey Marine i want that ship as well as the beauties on board. Hehehe i am soo lucky." That fat guy spoke in total ecstasy.
"Wait saint Jaffery. It is best we don't annoy them at the moment." Aokiji told the fat guy now known as saint Jaffery in his lazy voice but one can feel a little panic in his voice.
"HUUUH marine how dare you to give me suggestion and you are an admiral right go and do what i told you or are you just going to ignore the direct orders of the descendants of world creators." Saint Jaffery shouted to aokiji in anger.
Aokiji was going to respond him but he kept quit when he heard a laughing voice which was obviously from the young teen.
"HAHHAHA Aokiji how does it feel to take orders from a pig like that guy? Marine have really become the running dog of pigs what will happen to this world. Haaa~" Zack said and pretended to sigh which earned some snickers from his crew. But on the other hand marine's faces became such that it seemed they had bitten a bug including Aokiji.
"HOW DARE YOU!! Don't you know that i am a celestial dragon direct descendant of the world creators. APOLOGIZE NOW!!!" Saint Jaffery shouted in utter rage.
"YEAH YEAH i heard you, you are the celestial SCUM. Nothing more nothing less." Zack answered him nonchalantly.
"y-you!! i want you dead. Marines Kill him I want his head." Saint jaffery shouted.
when heavenly pirates heard his words they at once began to release their killing intent. It was so strong that most of the marines as well as saint jaffery fell on their buttocks while trembling unceasingly.
"Arara what have i gotten myself into." Aokiji when senced that things are going to get ugly he turned to zack and said "I suppose that you are the leader of these abnormal guys."
"Yes that i am and the name is Zack captain of the heavenly pirates." Zack introduced himself to aokiji with a small smile.
'Hm heavenly pirates~ oooh the famous group which is nowadays being worshiped by civilians in four seas. Troublesome.' Aokiji thought to himself and then said to Zack.
"So Zack i would prefer if we do not clash each other right now. It will not be very beneficial for any of us and particularly your two team mates who happened to be the Shichibukai, their all the preferental treatments will be revoked and i am sure they will not want it."
After hearing what aokiji said to Zack he couldn't help but smile while thinking 'you cannot be any more wrong about that Aokiji. Because when they entered my crew they didn't care about those titles.'
"So i take it as nothing happened this is what you are implying right?" Zack asked him playfully.
"Yes~ that is what i am implying. So what do you have to say about it." Aokiji didn't like the smirk which was gracing Zack's lips but still he maintained his calm and asked Zack.
It was not like Aokiji was afraid of the fight but it was his priority to ensure the safety of that pig.
"Of course i donot have any issue but the thing is ..." Zack was going to say something but at this moment they heard an enraged voice
"Damn you if marine will not kill you i will do it my self." Saint jaffery was pointing his pistol towards Zack. But before he could pull the trigger something hit him on his head knocking him down.
Aokiji turned his head and saw a guy standing there eating grapes with a carefree smile he had very big earlobes with rings in them and was wearing a turban like cloth on his head.
'Fast~" Aokiji thought to himself because with his observation haki he could sense someone approaching towards their but before he could react to that saint jaffery was hit and knocked unconscious.
"Arara now you have done it. Now i cannot neglect it or Senguko San will give me an earful." Aokoiji said turning towards Zack's direction.
"No no no it is my line to say that. How dare this pig pointed his gun towards me now if i do not kill this piece of shit then i will lose my face." Zack said while smiling towards Aokiji who when saw his smiling face felt a chill crawl over his backbone.
"So what is going to happen now is that i will be fighting you and if you win naturally you will save that pig but if you happen to lose to me then you know what will happen to that shit right, oh and one more thing that nobody will be interfering with our dual!!!"
Zack continued to say to Aokiji.
"Haaa~ So Be it." said aokiji while thinking inwardly 'How troublesome i wanted to take this trip as my vacation.'
Aokiji walked towards the sea to freeze the water so they don't have to damage the ships.
When he wanted to freeze the sea water Zack called to him "Wait a minute Aokiji you do not have to waste your energy" Saying this he secretly contacted Eve who was inside heavenly word and told her his plan, which earned him a mischievous smile from eve. This whole conversation happened in an instant due to their link.
Zack came forward and waved his hand and called out "Come forth Articuno!!"
when he finished saying that every body heard a melodious voice of a bird and a tear appeared in the space from which an extremely beautiful sky blue colored bird came forth,.
"SCREECH~~~~" the bird which came from the space tear had wings made of ice. On its forehead one could see a crest that consisted of three, darker blue rhombus-shaped feathers. It had circular red eyes, a short gray beak, and long, thin gray legs. On its chest was a mass of pale blue, downy feathers. Its long, streamer-like tail is longer than its body and the same shade of blue as its crest.
It was approximately five meters with each wing span of ten meters. Overall it was an amazing sight to behold.
It looked towards Zack and cried out in happiness and came in front of him so that Zack can pet him.
And Zack happily fulfilled his wish by petting him on his head. He was also amazed by the size of articuno this legendary pokemon because its size was extremely big compared to size which was described in the animation. But he didn't indulge on it and ordered articuno.
"Articuno please freeze the sea." while pointing in front of the space between the two ships.
"CHIRP...." articuno happily nodded and flew in the air and then opened his mouth and breathed out a white icy chilly beam to hit the surface of water and to the shock of heavenly pirates included Zack and to the horror of the marines the water started to freeze at an incredible rate while also freezing the marine ship in the process but at the critical time aokiji used his own ice powers to negate articuno's ice powers but he almost lost in this process because articuno's ice beam power was very strong, but he somehow managed to prevent his solders from becoming ice statues.
"Screech~~~~" After finishing what Zack ordered him to do he again came in front of Zack and looked towards him as if he wanted to get praised for his handy work.
Zack seeing this was very amused and gently petted articuno's head while praising him. "hahaha yes yes you did extremely good."
Then he turned towards Aokiji who was too shocked to move and told him
"So Aokiji now the stage is also set so how about we DANCE!!!!"
