Chapter 24 Admiral of the Navy—Aokiji
Near Gaya Island, a bicycle is driving gracefully on the sea, and wherever the wheels pass, there will be a road formed by hard and thick ice.
Throughout the entire pirate world, only the current admiral of the navy——Aokiji can have such an appearance.
Although this way of travel may seem slow, it is actually quite fast due to the fact that the bicycle travels on ice with almost no resistance.
Aokiji held the handlebars with both hands, pedaling the wheels unconsciously, all he could think about was what Marshal Warring States had just called him.
In fact, his original mission on this trip was to meet Hinai and escort Crocodile to the city of advancement.
But now he has another task. Lieutenant General Garp's grandson "straw hat" Luffy, and more than a hundred pirates are given to the navy by a person with the ability of thunder fruit called Enilo as a bargaining chip to become the king's Shichibukai .
The task becomes that you need to hand over with Hina and escort them to the city of advancement.
Moreover, Marshal Warring States also specially instructed, "If the situation is appropriate, you can turn a blind eye and let Luffy and the others find a chance to slip away. The matter of catching Luffy can be regarded as non-existent."
In fact, when Aokiji knew that Luffy was going to be escorted by him, he had already thought about whether to let Luffy go.
After all, he has been working under Lieutenant General Garp since he graduated from the naval training camp, and has witnessed Karp's countless heroic deeds.
In particular, Garp's repeated refusal to be promoted to admiral made Aokiji adore him.
He really can't do the thing of letting Karp's white-haired man send a black-haired man.
Moreover, he also knew Lieutenant General Garp, the rebellious grandson.
From going out to sea to being captured, Luffy didn't do anything to harm civilians.
On the contrary, he is more like a righteous explorer, eliminating the local evil wherever he goes.
For example, the Alabasta incident, if Luffy hadn't stepped forward to defeat Crocodile's plot in time and prevent the civil strife in the kingdom.
I don't know how many innocent people will die here.
As a pirate, Luffy not only had no fault in this incident, but had great credit for it.
But in the eyes of the world government, Luffy has become a thorn in the side, a thorn in the flesh.
Increase Luffy's reward amount and order the navy to arrest Luffy as soon as possible.
But Aokiji doesn't take it seriously, he is not as extreme as Akainu, all pirates must be killed.
As far as he is concerned, Luffy can catch it, but it is not necessary.
Now with Marshal Warring States personally greeting him, Aokiji felt even less burdened.
Just pick a moment and let it go.
Even if he is discovered by then, as an admiral of the navy, what else can others say?
No matter how bad it is, there will be Marshal of the Warring States period on top, and Aokiji is not worried at all.
It's just that the sudden appearance of Enilo made Aokiji somewhat unpredictable.
According to Marshal Warring States' speculation, this Enilo doesn't seem to have much malice towards the navy.
But what the actual situation is, you need to get in touch with it in person to be sure.
...
At this time, Hina's ship had already docked on the coast of Gaya Island.
Since the space in her ship is not large, except for the most important prisoner Crocodile, there are not many pirates.
Fortunately, Sengoku had already made arrangements on this issue, and ordered the nearby naval branch to send warships to cooperate with Hina to transport the pirates.
So Hina only needs to imprison those pirates with higher rewards and higher risk factors on her own ship.
Luffy and his companions, who offered a reward of up to 100 million Berries, were naturally among the first to be imprisoned.
When Lu Fei and others entered the detention room, they saw the prisoner wearing Hailoushi handcuffs and ankles in the middle.
After seeing the man's face clearly,
Luffy couldn't help but widen his eyes, and said in surprise, "Hey, Crocodile?"
After hearing the familiar voice, Crocodile opened his eyes suddenly, and saw the familiar yet disgusted face in front of him.
"It's you! Straw Hat!"
At this moment, Crocodile looked at Luffy with hatred in his eyes.
If it wasn't for this guy, his many years of planning might have successfully controlled the legendary ancient weapon-Pluto.
By that time, the world will all fall under his own rule.
I can also settle the old score with White Beard.
But all of this was ruined by the straw hat boy in front of him.
The harmed self can only be sent to the city to live a life of darkness!
However, Luffy didn't seem to notice Crocodile's anger towards him, and greeted him, "What a coincidence! I didn't expect to meet you in this place."
"It's a coincidence that we will spend the rest of our lives together in the advancing city!" Crocodile snorted coldly, looking towards the end of the straw hat group.
"Robin, it seems that your destiny is to bring disaster to your companions! The Straw Hat Boy and I are the best proof!"
Robin's eyes dimmed, and he lowered his head slowly. Perhaps, as Crocodile said, it was his own fault that Luffy and the others would end up where they are today.
Luffy immediately retorted, "Robin, don't listen to this guy's nonsense, none of this has anything to do with you, we will definitely be able to escape."
"Yeah, if Luffy hadn't insisted on coming to Sky Island, we wouldn't have been caught by that bastard Enel!" Nami comforted Robin softly.
Crocodile sneered, "Escape? Do you know who will escort us to Advance City next?
Let me tell you, it's Admiral Aokiji!
If you think you can escape from the admiral, all I can say is that you are naive. "
In addition to the Straw Hats and the others, there were seven or eight other pirates with higher rewards who were escorted in.
When they heard that the admiral was escorting them next, they instantly lost their last hope.
Although Luffy knew how powerful the Admiral was, he still said unhappily, "So what about the Admiral? As long as I find a chance, I will definitely be able to escape with everyone."
But except for Luffy, the rest of them are almost hopeless.
The admiral represents the strongest combat power of the navy, the existence of the top powerhouse in the sea.
It is completely impossible to escape from such a character.
Seeing Luffy's stiff mouth, Crocodile suddenly lost his mind to continue.
In his opinion, how could a little pirate like the Straw Hat Boy who had just set out to sea know the horror of the Admiral?
That was an existence that even he didn't dare to provoke easily.
But Crocodile did not dare to provoke him because he lacked strength and had no background.
How could he have imagined that Luffy's background would be so strong!
