Chapitre 421: 96-100
Chapter 96
Seeing the three women being silenced, Luffy quickly escaped from the crowd of women.
After taking a breath, he pulled Ain over and hugged her on his lap, took out the key from his pocket and put it in her palm.
"Stop arguing and look at what this is."
The girls' eyes were instantly drawn to it. When they saw the key in Ain's hand,
Hina and Kujaku's eyes lit up and they said in surprise:
"Is this a key for a new house?!"
"That's right." Luffy smiled and nodded heavily
"So stop arguing, pack up what needs to be packed, buy what needs to be bought, and we're moving today!"
"Great!"
Nami cheered, and quickly left everyone behind to go back to her room to clean up.
Ain also smiled and broke away from Luffy's arms, and got busy with Hina and Kujaku.
Hancock looked at them with envy as they left, and sat next to Luffy and leaned on him.
"Luffy"
""Hmm~"
Luffy hugged her gently and made a nasal sound.
Hancock buried her head in the man's chest in a depressed mood and said sullenly:
"After these Shichibukai meetings, I don't want to go back to Amazon Lily for the time being."
Luffy was shocked, looked down at her in surprise, and asked in confusion:
"What about your people? You are their empress. They won't die without you, but this is a big deal. You should at least discuss it with your sisters and some high-ranking officials in the kingdom."
Hancock snorted proudly, nudging Luffy with her little head.
"No, no, I am the empress, I can do whatever I want!"
"Okay, okay, you are the empress and you have the final say." Luffy rubbed her hair with a smile and comforted her repeatedly.
Hancock calmed down and stopped acting like a spoiled child.
In this way, the two of them snuggled together and enjoyed the warm time in silence.
Just when Luffy thought Hancock had made up her mind and decided to follow him around the world, she suddenly changed her mind.
"How about I pass the throne to Sonia?"
Luffy was immediately at a loss whether to laugh or cry. Is this a trivial issue that can be decided in a few words?
'You, the empress, are too willful.'
"Well, don't say such willful words, if you want to follow me, just follow me.
At most, we can go back every once in a while."
"Oh, that's right."
Hancock didn't respond after that. She sniffed the reassuring scent on Luffy's body and gradually fell asleep.
Luffy patted her back gently as if coaxing a child.
After she fell asleep, he carefully carried her back to the bedroom and covered her with a quilt.
Looking at the sleeping beauty falling asleep on the bed, Luffy kissed her forehead gently, and walked out of the room after seeing her smile happily.
Standing in the corridor, he rubbed his chin and looked back at the closed door, as if something was missing.
"Eh? Where's Hancock's snake? Didn't it follow him onto the ship? Where did it go now?"
At the port, Salome, who had just woken up from a dream, looked at the empty warship, tilted her head in confusion, and three question marks appeared on her head.
Where's the master?
As the time of the meeting approached, the atmosphere at the Marine Headquarters gradually became solemn.
One by one, the big shots who were only seen in newspapers gathered at the headquarters.
In order to deter the unruly Seven Warlords of the Sea, Sengoku not only kept Kizaru and Aokiji at the headquarters.
He also called back the older generations such as Garp and Tsuru to take charge.
And Luffy, as the rear admiral of the Marine Headquarters and the main contributor to destroying Crocodile's conspiracy, was also asked to attend this meeting.
In the large conference room of the headquarters, a huge white round table was placed in the middle.
Three less famous vice admirals sat down in a formal and orderly manner, sorting out the documents that would be used in the meeting.
Suddenly, a voice came from outside the conference room. Here it comes - the sound of high heels stepping on the ground.
Upon hearing the sound, the three of them subconsciously looked back, and then they couldn't take their eyes off.
Hancock, who returned to the room arranged by the marine last night and was unable to stay at Luffy's house, was in a very bad mood because she had a meeting today.
When she came here with her pet snake Salome with a gloomy face, what caught her eyes were three stinky men who were staring at her blankly.
She frowned, pointed without thinking, and without her command, Salome rushed up and slapped the three men with a flick of her tail.
The three people who were awakened were shocked, and then they realized what stupid things they had just done. They quickly lowered their heads and dared not look at the people coming.
Seeing that they took the initiative to admit their mistakes, Hancock snorted and sat down at the seat marked with her name.
She wanted to close her eyes and take a nap, but suddenly a sinister voice forced her to open her eyes.
"Fufufu~ Look who this is?
The Marine is so great that they even manage invited the most beautiful woman in the world.
It turns out that the Pirate Queen is also afraid of the Marine's threats and was forced to attend this meeting."
Hancock looked at the person who was speaking with cold eyes.
He is a blonde wearing sunglasses, wearing a flirtatious pink feather coat, a fancy shirt, cropped pants, and black loafers.
He squatted on a chair with a very arrogant look on his face.
"Shut up, you rude guy, who allowed you to talk to me!"
Hancock, who was already in a bad mood, retorted directly.
Doflamingo, who was choked, was not angry, but smiled and watched her close her eyes again. After she ignore him, he looked away. He glanced around and ignored the three useless marine men at the same table.
After discovering that the only one among the Seven Warlords of the Sea, except for the two of them, was the blue-skinned fishman, he unexpectedly began to divert his attention.
"Jinbei, you are here too.
With Whitebeard as your backer, are you still afraid of the marine?
Or is that old man no longer good enough and he can't be relied on?"
Jinbei, a tall whale shark with two exposed fangs, turned his sharp eyes after hearing his words.
"This is my personal matter and has nothing to do with my father.
Doflamingo, this is not Dressrosa, keep your mouth shut."
"Fufufu~ Why are you so angry?
Anyway, everyone hasn't arrived yet, why not take advantage of this moment to have some fun."
With his unique laughter and an evil smile on his lips, Doflamingo almost wrote"I am a bad guy" on his face. Jinbei looked at him with disgust, frowned, and began to close his eyes and pretend to sleep, not taking him seriously.
Seeing that one by one they were giving him the cold shoulder, Doflamingo also felt a little angry in his heart.
The fingers on his leg moved, and a tiny thread that was invisible to the naked eye was ready to go, as if it would launch an attack at the next moment.
"Stop, I'm not here to watch you fight and waste time."
A deep and magnetic voice suddenly came from outside, and Doflamingo looked back in surprise.
Dracule Mihawk's figure suddenly appeared in his eyes.
With him came Gekko Moriah, who was as fat as a ball and is also one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
"Hehehe, why should we stop them, Hawkeye?
If one of these two can die here, my Shadow Army will have another great general."
Chapter 97
The arrival of the two immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Doflamingo ignored Moriah, fixed his burning eyes on Mihawk, and couldn't help laughing.
"Fufufu~ Even you are here, this meeting is finally worth going."
Chuckling, he looked at Jinbei who still kept his eyes closed and said nothing, and silently retracted his action.
Mihawk's arrival also attracted Hancock's attention. Looking at this man's sharp eyes like a hawk, even Hancock felt a sense of oppression and was secretly alert.
What a scary man, the world's number one swordsman is indeed worthy of his reputation.
Of course, no matter how powerful a man is, he is not as good as Luffy in her heart.
Thinking of not seeing her lover last night, Hancock not only prayed secretly, but also hoped to see him a second earlier.
Perhaps her prayers were effective, and footsteps were heard outside the meeting room again.
Several people turned their heads and saw a handsome young man in a white suit with his hands in his pockets, yawning and walking. Come closer.
Luffy!
Hancock cheered in her heart with joy. If it wasn't for the occasion, she would have pounced on him directly.
Rubbing his sleepy eyes, Luffy, who had played poker with a few girls last night, looked around.
Looking at the old acquaintances, he raised his eyebrows, ignored the gazes of several people and sat down next to Hancock.
The three vice admirals opposite the round table who were responsible for recording the content of the meeting and supplementing the information were shocked when they saw Luffy's bold behavior.
Another young man who was bewitched by the appearance of the empress, hoped that because this was the headquarters, that person would not be too heavy-handed.
Just when their hearts were pounding, Luffy approached Hancock and whispered without hesitation:
"What shall we eat after the meeting? How about we try the headquarters' seafood feast?"
Hancock smiled and nodded obediently,"All up to you."
Vice Admiral:...
Doflamingo and other Seven Warlords of the Sea:...
Seeing the empress attitude toward the marine and speaking in an unspeakably gentle tone, everyone's eyes widened, and their brains were shocked.
Even a cold guy like Mihawk changed his expression slightly, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes. Who is this person? So brave?
Several people who didn't know Luffy at the scene had this thought in their minds.
But before they could find the answer to this question, the real protagonist of this meeting, Fleet Admiral Sengoku, appeared with a luxurious lineup.
Behind him, the first to bear the brunt were two lazy men, one blue and one yellow.
Aokiji and Kizaru were not interested in this meeting at all.
After coming, Aoki leaned back in the chair, pulled on his eye mask, and began to catch up on sleep openly.
Kizaru was not much better. He put the tea he brought on the table, and then opened a comic book and read it with relish.
Although both of them acted like this, Doflamingo and the other did not dare to look down on them.
Only Mihawk could still sit still, as if he didn't take it to heart.
In addition to these two people, the evergreen of the marine, the chief of staff Tsuru, and the shameless Garp also followed in.
Garp nodded to Hancock as if nothing had happened, as if he didn't see Luffy, he sat down next to Kizaru, snatched the snack from him and started to eat it. Kizaru was not angry about this, and he took out another bag of donuts from somewhere and handed it to Tsuru.
Tsuru was not polite, after taking it with her hand, he opened it and savored it carefully.
Seeing that his teammates were either sleeping or eating. Sengoku was so angry that veins on his forehead were throbbing, and he was almost irritated by them and had a cerebral congestion.
But the meeting that should be held still had to be held. His teammates were not in line, and he, as the Fleet Admiral, must grasp the situation well.
With two light coughs, he looked around and said today's opening remarks.
"Thank you for coming to this meeting, Shichibukai~"
As soon as he finished speaking, Doflamingo couldn't help but jump out and interrupted.:
"Fufufu~ No need to thank me, but your marine's tough attitude this time scared me."
Luffy glanced at Doflamingo and felt that this guy was really arrogant.
Sengoku also couldn't stand rubbish like Doflamingo and snorted coldly and hit back: "If you don't want to be threatened by the marine, just quit the Shichibukai. We just found a few good candidates, enough to replace you."
"Fufufu~ Forget it, I like the title of Shichibukai."
After a few chuckles, Doflamingo stopped talking and finally calmed down for a while.
Seeing that no one was interrupting anymore, Sengoku started talking about business.
"I called you here, I believe you can guess why.
Just over a month ago, that bastard Crocodile tried to overthrow the rule of the allied countries and was arrested by the marine officer in front of you."
Seeing Sengoku talking about himself, Luffy stopped talking with Hancock, smiled and nodded to everyone present.
Several people were slightly shocked. They didn't expect that Crocodile would be defeated by such a young marine. Sengoku looked back and forth between Luffy and Hancock with a strange look.
'Strange, why does this kid seem to have a good relationship with Hancock?'
The thought flashed through his mind, and Sengoku shook his head silently in his heart, thinking that this was impossible.
After coming to his senses, his expression did not change, and he continued to speak:
"I don't want the same thing as the Crocodile incident to happen again.
At the same time, as a warning, after discussion, our marine and the world government have decided to add the following restrictions to the Shichibukai.
First, it is forbidden to attack the allied nation at will, and to harm the lives and safety of the kings and royal families of the allied nation.
Second, it is strictly forbidden to hide important world government wanted criminals and prohibited items.
Third, it is forbidden to attack world government and marine personnel without reason, and to cause damage to world government facilities.
Sengoku talked about a lot of new rules, and the Shichibukai all treated it as a joke.
Few people would really follow it. It was at this time that Luffy realized how wise it was for Kizaru to bring tea and snacks.
Because this shitty Shichibukai meeting was too boring.
He only listened for more than ten minutes, and his eyelids began to fight, and his head was nodding and he was almost falling asleep....
Doflamingo was not really interested in Sengoku's chatter.
His bored fingers played with the silk thread, and his eyes hidden in the sunglasses scanned the people present.
Finally, he set his sights on Luffy, who was about to fall asleep with his head propped up by his hands, giving him a big surprise.
'I'll choose you.'
With a slight curl of his lips, he flicked his right finger, and a transparent invisible silk thread shot towards Luffy.
Except for Moria and the three marine officers who were just there, everyone present is a master of observation haki.
How could Doflamingo's little movements escape their perception?
Hancock, a professional husband protector, was furious when she found out that Doflamingo, this bastard, dared to attack Luffy.
Chapter 98
She stood up quickly, lightly touched her red lips with her finger like a pistol, aimed at Doflamingo and fired.
Instantly, a small pink heart hit the attacking silk thread, petrifying it while attacking Doflamingo with unabated momentum.
Doflamingo chuckled, and with a wave of his hand, he summoned a silk thread shield to block the attack.
Seeing the shield petrifying from the center, Doflamingo raised his mouth and asked with a smile:
"Fufufu~Can I ask you something? What is your relationship with him?"
Hancock's face was extremely ugly. She put her hands in a heart shape and mobilized the power of the fruit.
"Bastard flamingo, you actually wanted to attack my husband, go to hell! Mero Mero Merrow!"
After the words fell, a heart-shaped light wave spread out and directly enveloped Doflamingo.
Doflamingo was obviously stunned when he heard her answer. He didn't expect that they were actually a couple.
But when the light wave was approaching, he didn't have time to think so much. He stepped on the seat and jumped behind Jinbei who was watching on the side.
Hancock didn't give up. She turned her body and even Jinbei was included in her attack range.
"Merrow..."
Doflamingo reacted quickly. Before Hancock could make a move, he opened his hands and used his five fingers to create a thread that grabbed Hancock.
"Five-colours yarn!"
The thin thread invisible to the naked eye passed by, and everything it touched was easily cut.
Jinbei, who was in the attack range of the two, quickly stood up and dodged to avoid being affected.
Seeing the thread cutting through the conference table and attacking her, Hancock's expression turned cold, and the Merrow was immediately activated.
All objects illuminated by the light wave turned into stone in an instant.
The thread also broke away from Doflamingo's control in an instant and shattered under inertia and scattered all over the ground.
Facing Hancock's attack, even Doflamingo, who was very confident in his own strength, did not dare to take it head-on. He had to jump sideways again.
Hancock stepped forward, and wanted to reward him with a Perfume kick.
But at this time, a strong hand suddenly grabbed her wrist, and Luffy, who had woken up at some point, stood up.
Looking at the angry Hancock, he pulled her back with a smile and comforted her:
"Don't, leave it to me next."
With his words, Hancock immediately calmed down and stopped moving.
But she still glared at Doflamingo and put this bastard on her must-kill list.
Things happened so fast that the three marines who were still taking notes only reacted now.
They stared blankly at the two people holding hands, and recalled what Hancock had just said, and their hearts suddenly felt sour.
Kizaru's expression was also very interesting at this time, his old face wrinkled into a ball, and his mouth opened into an O shape.
Kuzan also woke up from his sleep, pulled up a corner of his eye mask and looked at his little brother in surprise, his eyes were as big as copper bells, and his face was incredulous..
The expressions of the others were also quite interesting. Sengoku's face turned red and white, and he was happy and worried.
On the one hand, he was happy that Luffy had the ability to trick the Empress into his hands.
On the other hand, he was worried that the young man would not be able to control himself, and would be blinded by the beauty of women and do something impulsive.
Vice Admiral Tsuru sighed and lowered her head to eat donuts silently.
Thinking of her stubborn granddaughter who insisted on Luffy, she felt helpless.
But what could she, an old woman, do? She could only let go and let the young people make trouble.
Garp: zzzzzz
After calming Hancock, Luffy turned his head and shifted his gaze to Doflamingo
"Hey, you are very brave. First you hit me, and now you want to hit my girlfriend.
It seems that you don't take me seriously at all."
Hearing his words, Doflamingo didn't take it seriously. He put his hands in his pockets arrogantly, laughed strangely, and asked back:
"Fufufu~ How enviable! you actually won the heart of the most beautiful woman in the world.
Hey, boy, what's your name?"
Looking at Doflamingo who acted like the boss of the world,
Luffy kept silent for a while, then suddenly grinned and said:
"I am your father."
As soon as he finished speaking, his body turned into lightning and instantly appeared behind Doflamingo. His right hand, which was full of lightning, pressed against his back, and a violent electric current instantly gushed out from his palm.
Doflamingo was stunned when he heard Luffy's answer, but before he could get angry,
Luffy had already teleported behind him and launched an attack.
Damn, it was lightning!
Doflamingo cursed in his heart and reacted very quickly. The silk thread in his hand bounced and stuck to the wall of the conference room. He pulled it hard again, trying to avoid Luffy's attack in this way.
"Do you think you are faster than lightning?"
The cold words came out of his mouth, and Doflamingo's feet had just left the ground.
"100 million volt bolt!"
Violent lightning shot out from his palm in an instant, covering Doflamingo's whole body.
The dazzling white light, the noisy thunderstorm, and Doflamingo's uncontrollable wailing, immediately echoed in the conference room.
Everyone who heard it couldn't help but secretly smack their lips.
Doflamingo, that arrogant guy, finally got into trouble.
The high-voltage current continuously poured into Doflamingo's body through Luffy's arm.
Doflamingo only felt a burning pain all over his body, and his nerves, blood vessels, brain, etc. were like being repeatedly pierced by tens of thousands of needles. The pain almost made him lose his mind.
'Move, move, my body!!!'
He shouted frantically in his heart, but his body paralyzed by lightning didn't listen at all. The order of his master.
No matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't even move a finger.
He could only be electrocuted under Luffy's strong control, and was almost cooked by electricity.
Listening to Doflamingo's shrill wail, Sengoku, with a frown on his face, breathed a sigh of relief.
'That's right, this is to teach these bastards a lesson.
They dare to be so arrogant in front of the Marine Headquarters, do they really think that our marine is made of mud?'
However, it is refreshing, but seeing that Luffy is still releasing lightning and has no intention of stopping.
Sengoku was afraid that this kid would not be gentle enough and really kill him.
So, he quickly spoke up, pretending to be careless and said slowly:
"Stop it, a little lesson is enough."
Hearing this, Luffy pouted unhappily and retracted his palm from Doflamingo's back. The lightning slowly dissipated under his control.
Just after retracting his power, the black humanoid creature, whose body was charred and whose feather coat was burned, fell to the ground with a thud, his legs softened and he knelt on the ground in embarrassment.
Enduring the severe pain from all over his body, Doflamingo gasped in fear.
Under the broken sunglasses, his sinister and resentful eyes turned to Luffy with effort, as if he wanted to firmly remember this man who embarrassed him.
Chapter 99
Seeing that he still seemed unconvinced, Luffy, with his arms crossed, raised his eyebrows and turned to Sengoku and said:
"Fleet Admiral, if I remember correctly, our marine caught a spy named Vergo a few years ago.
He seems to be connected to Doflamingo."
Speaking of the name Vergo, Sengoku's face instantly fell and became very ugly.
Former Rear Admiral Vergo, a young man with good strength, brains and a warm heart.
Sengoku had originally considered promoting and appointing him.
But because of an accident (Luffy's anonymous report), his identity was exposed, and Sengoku knew for the first time that there were spies sent by pirates in his marine.
Sengoku was stunned at the time and thought it was a shame for the marine and a joke.
It has always been the marine that goes to the pirate group to act as spies. Since when have pirates been able to send spies into the marine?
As soon as the incident happened, it directly triggered the sensitive nerves of the marine's top brass at the time. It was the first time they had seen someone so arrogant, and the marine officers who were very good at interrogation tortured him all night.
They pried Doflamingo's name out of Vergo's mouth at all costs.
But the matter ended at this point.
Without the world government's permission, the marine had no right to touch the Seven Warlords of the Sea. They couldn't even make Vergo's crimes public. They could only find an excuse for leaking marine secrets and execute him secretly.
Otherwise, he would most likely be rescued by Doflamingo using the excuse that the marine couldn't capture the members of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
Take him back.
Thinking of the frustrating thing that happened at the beginning again, a cold light flashed in Sengoku's eyes when he looked at Doflamingo.
At that moment, he had the idea of killing this guy.
After Luffy said Vergo's name, Doflamingo's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly had a bad feeling.
Vergo, one of the highest cadres of the Don Quixote family.
He was an important chess piece and family member planted in the marine in his early years.
But he suddenly disappeared a few years ago and could no longer be contacted.
He also used his connections to find the other party, but he only got the news that he died in the battle with pirates.
For this reason, Doflamingo He was sad for a while.
But he didn't expect that the real situation was that his plan was discovered, and Vergo was also arrested by the marine.
Moreover, he didn't control his mouth and exposed himself.
Considering his own behaviour, it was no less than shitting on the marine's head.
Even an arrogant man like Doflamingo was alert for a while, fearing that the marine would ignore the rules and get rid of him in this marine base.
With his charred and cracked arms, he tried to support himself on the ground and slowly stood up.
Doflamingo's body shook, and after looking at Luffy with resentment, he barely controlled his body, took a step back and sneered:
"Hey, Sengoku, you have to think it over. I have a good relationship with those five old men.
If something happens to me, your marine won't have an easy time either."
Listening to Doflamingo's veiled threat, Sengoku sneered disdainfully:
" Doflamingo, I haven't said anything yet, are you scared already?"
"Fufufu~ I'm just stating a fact."
Doflamingo, who used the Five Elders as his backing, seemed to be confident again.
He pushed his badly damaged glasses, and put on the role of the villain again, laughing strangely.
Luffy's face was completely gloomy at this time.
Because he noticed that Hancock's body trembled obviously, and her pretty face turned slightly pale after hearing Doflamingo talk about the Five Elders.
Suddenly, he had the idea of killing Doflamingo here, but he was interrupted just as he was accumulating strength and had no time to act.
"Hey, kid, you dare to bully my grandson and granddaughter-in-law in front of me. Do you really think that I am too old to swing my fists?"
Doflamingo was shocked and cold sweat oozed from his forehead.
"What?! That little devil..."
Before he finished speaking, Garp's fist wrapped in armament haki power instantly appeared in his sight.
Doflamingo didn't even have time to react. He was hit in the face by the punch, his nose was broken, and he spat out a few bloody teeth, and flew backwards heavily.
The huge force directly pushed Doflamingo to smash the wall of the conference room.
After smashing through several walls in a row, he flew out of the building and fell heavily on the open space in front of the building, scaring the passing marines.
Garp raised his fist as big as a sandbag and blew on it.
Facing everyone's gaze, Garp grinned, scratched his head and laughed heartily:
"Hahaha, sorry, sorry, I woke up and saw this charred guy. I thought I saw a ghost and I accidentally hit him too hard."
As he said this, he didn't care about the surprised and horrified eyes of the people present. He waved his hand and shouted to Luffy and the others:
"Hey, Luffy, Hancock, it's too boring here, let's go home."
Looking at Garp who stood up for her, Hancock's eyes sparkled and she nodded repeatedly with a moved look on her face.
She took Luffy's arm and hurriedly followed him.
When he came to Garp, Luffy complained in a bad mood:
"Hey, you are more arrogant than me, Grandpa.
Before doing this, you should at least tell Fleet Admiral Sengoku first."
"Shut up!"
"Bang!"
Garp punched him on the head, pointed at the big hole in the wall, and cursed at him:
"Stupid boy, next time you meet a guy like this, just don't hesitate to beat him up.
How can I trust you to keep Hancock safe if you are so timid?"
Luffy wanted to complain in a low voice, but was glared at by Garp again.
Luffy had no choice but to surrender as he was not Garp opponent yet.
He pulled Hancock and walked outside under the surprised eyes of everyone.
When passing by Sengoku, Luffy seemed not to notice his dark face like the bottom of a pot, and smiled and waved his hand and said:
"Fleet Admiral Sengoku, this meeting was rich, lively and interesting, and I benefited a lot.
Please don't ask me to attend next time."
Chapter 100
After saying that, he quickly followed Garp's footsteps, and the three of them left while talking and laughing.
This arrogant attitude made Moria and Jinbei in the room dumbfounded.
Sengoku was so angry that he almost fainted.
"Shithead, you two stop right there!
Boa Hancock, you come back here too!"
The three of them were selectively deaf to Sengoku's rage. They even quickened their pace a bit, and disappeared from everyone's sight in the blink of an eye.
Looking at the three people's backs as they slipped away, Kizaru's heart moved, and he stood up and raised half of his butt to follow suit.
But in an instant, Sengoku turned his head and stared at him with red eyes.
Kizaru's body stiffened, and after maintaining the posture of preparing to leave for more than ten seconds, he sighed helplessly and sat back down.
'I really envy Garp-san, I also want to go home and catch up on my sleep~'
With a sigh in his heart, he opened the comic again and read it with little interest.
Beside him, Kuzan secretly cried out in regret when he saw this, and reluctantly put down the blindfold, put his hands on the back of his head and soon began to snore softly.
Looking at the messy meeting room and his subordinates who were more unreliable than each other.
Sengoku sighed heavily, sat back in his chair with a sense of loss, and even lost interest in continuing the meeting.
'How can we run a good marine with these damn guys!
Retire! I must retire!!!'
Luffy didn't care about how Sengoku was troubled and distressed.
He followed Garp and quickly left the headquarters building.
But as soon as he came out, he paused, looked at the three people who seemed to have been waiting here with surprise, and asked in confusion:
"Why are you three here? Are you here to see me?"
In front of him, Zoro, Sanji, and Usopp stood at attention and greeted them immediately after seeing them.
"Vice Admiral Garp, Captain Luffy, Lady Hancock"*3Looking at the three young and energetic young men, Garp waved his hand in a friendly manner and also greeted them.
Hancock nodded slightly because they were Luffy's subordinates, barely returning the greeting.
Luffy rubbed his chin, looking at the three people, or rather Zoro who was eager among the three, seemed to understand something, and asked with a smile:
"Are you here to challenge Mihawk? Do you want to see the strength of the world's greatest swordsman?"
Zoro nodded heavily in acknowledgement.
"Yes, I've been waiting for this day for a long time."
"Then you better think about it, this is not the opponent you can face now."
After being taught by Luffy and others, Zoro already understood the level of his own strength.
But even so, he still did not back down, nodded with a firm look, and said seriously while pressing the Wado Ichimonji on his waist:
"Captain, I finally have a chance, I just want to see how big the gap is between him and me."
After he finished speaking, Luffy pondered for a moment, pretending to be entangled, and said with a hint of testing:
"I'm not trying to discourage you. You haven't even mastered Haki yet, so you can't be that man's opponent.
You can wait two more years until you are stronger before coming to him."
But his deliberate belittling did not discourage Zoro's determination. He nodded stubbornly and said seriously:
"I know, but I must try."
Seeing that Zoro was determined, Luffy nodded secretly in his heart and stopped persuading him.
This is the Zoro he knows.
If he loses the courage to challenge because he knows that the opponent is stronger than himself, then he will not be the Zoro he know.
"Hahaha, you are such a courageous young man. Come on, I have faith in you."
Garp laughed happily and patted Zoro's shoulder.
Luffy found it funny, and stepped forward to pat Zoro on the other shoulder, encouraging him, and then said:
"Okay, then you guys wait here.
But you'd better go find a doctor now and be on standby.
In case of any accidents, you can get immediate treatment."
The three nodded and saluted respectfully.
Luffy and Garp said nothing more, nodded and said goodbye to them.
After watching the three people leave, Usopp said something to the two and ran to the hospital alone to ask for a doctor.
Zoro and Sanji didn't know when the meeting would end, so they simply sat cross-legged on the side of the road, quietly waiting for Mihawk to show up.
After waiting for a long time, looking at Zoro who took out the Wado Ichimonji and carefully maintained it with a cotton swab.
Sanji supported his chin with his hand and asked boredly:
"Hey, Green moss Head, I see that among your three swords, you value this one the most. Is there any story behind it?"
Zoro carefully applied sword oil to the sword body and did not answer.
Seeing this, Sanji pouted unhappily and turned his head away to ignore him.
The atmosphere fell into silence. Sanji thought that this guy would ignore him, but after a few minutes, he suddenly said:
"This sword carries the dream of my best friend and my promise to her.
One day, I will take this sword with me and ascend to the throne of the world's greatest swordsman.
I will spread my name and the name of Wado Ichimonji to heaven and show my best friend."
"Heaven? Your friend?!....Sorry, I spoke too much."
Sanji was surprised at first, but then he quickly realized what was happening and apologized.
Zoro was wiping the sword vigorously with cotton cloth. After hearing Sanji's apology, the corners of his mouth slightly raised and he teased:
"Can Kappa apologize? I thought your brain was underdeveloped and you didn't have these words in your head."
!!!
"What did you say! You bastard green moss head, I just feel sorry for you!
If you are defeated later, don't cry and ask me for comfort, I have no interest in taking care of a swordsman with poor sense of direction!"
Sanji pointed at Zoro and cursed angrily, but Zoro was unmoved. It was rare that he didn't get angry and cursed at him.
Because he suddenly felt that a sharp and unstoppable breath was approaching.
This compelling momentum made Wado on his waist tremble slightly, as if he couldn't wait for the upcoming battle.
