The Witcher: The Journey to Transcendence from Marvel.

Chapter 294 Return without success
"Alala~, can you please let us pass?"

Aokiji's unique and slightly lazy voice rang out at the port, echoing in everyone's ears.

His tall and slightly sloppy figure stood at the bow of the ship, his eyes seemed casual but revealed an indescribable depth.

If Akainu were here, facing these civilians blocking the way of the navy, he would probably treat them as pirates without hesitation. With his tough and radical style of doing things, he would definitely use iron-blooded means to forcibly open a path.

However, as a representative of the dove faction, Aokiji's attitude towards civilians is obviously much gentler. Although there is a request in his words, there is also unquestionable majesty.

"We will never trust the Navy again."

An old man shouted angrily, his weather-beaten face full of vicissitudes and resentment.

"That's right, they are in cahoots with Doflamingo!" another young man shouted.

The people became increasingly excited, and they raised all kinds of weapons in their hands, including worn-out farm tools and homemade swords. These tools, originally used for peaceful work or self-defense, were now all pointed at the navy.

Seeing this, the navy soldiers also responded quickly. They pointed their guns at the angry people in front of them in a well-trained manner.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the port was extremely tense. The air seemed to be frozen by the tense confrontation. Both sides were on edge, and the situation was like a bomb about to explode, ready to break out at any moment.

"Alala~ You need to calm down, calm down."

Aokiji still tried to ease the situation with his seemingly relaxed tone, but he knew very well that once he opened fire, it would cause an irreparable tragedy.

He did not want to attack these innocent civilians. Deep in his heart, he always had sympathy for them.

He slowly activated his freezing ability, and the temperature around him began to drop sharply. A trace of cold air spread from around his body, like a pair of invisible cold giant hands, gradually extending to the surroundings.

He just wanted to freeze these excited civilians for a while, making them temporarily unable to move, thus avoiding bloody conflict.

"Stop it."

Weiss's figure appeared before everyone like a ghost.

[I didn't sense it with my observation Haki, is it teleportation?]

Aokiji was startled, and his seemingly casual eyes suddenly became sharp. He looked at Weiss carefully, trying to find some clues from him.

"I thought you were here to see me," Weiss said calmly.

After hearing what Wes said, the marines quickly turned their guns and pointed them at him.

"I don't like being pointed at with a gun." Weiss frowned slightly and said softly.

Just as he finished speaking, something strange happened. The sailors actually pointed their guns at each other.

There was an expression of fear and confusion on their faces, and their fingers were uncontrollably about to pull the trigger.

"Hu~" Seeing this, Aokiji hurriedly exhaled a breath of cold air, instantly freezing hundreds of navy soldiers and stopping the tragedy of them killing each other in time.

Aokiji's eyes revealed a hint of solemnity. He knew very well that Weiss in front of him was no ordinary person and possessed an elusive and powerful strength.

"Interesting. I wonder how it compares to my freezing magic."

Weiss raised his head slightly, a glint of curiosity and challenge in his eyes.

He wanted to measure Aokiji's strength and see what made this admiral so special.

Aokiji still maintained a relaxed look on the surface, with even a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, but in fact he was already fully alert in his heart.

"I'm not here to fight this time."

Aokiji spoke slowly, trying to ease the tense atmosphere again, not wanting to fight Weiss easily. "Oh?" Weiss raised his eyebrows slightly, with a hint of doubt and expectation in his eyes.

"I'm here to extend an invitation," Aokiji's face straightened, his expression becoming serious and solemn, "to invite you to become one of the 'Seven Warlords of the Sea'."

"Not interested. I don't want to be someone else's dog." Wes refused mercilessly, without any hesitation or compromise.

"What you said is really harsh, brother." Aokiji frowned slightly, feeling helpless about Weiss's blunt rejection and sharp words.

"If you have nothing else to do, please leave. This is already my territory."

Weiss's tone hardened.

"That won't work. Dressrosa is a member of the World Government."

Aokiji tried to argue.

"Not now." Weiss said calmly, and his words exploded in Aokiji's ears like a bombshell.

Aokiji was stunned. He never expected that Weiss would be so bold as to declare that Dressrosa would withdraw from the membership of the World Government.

His expression suddenly darkened, his eyes revealing anger and shock, "Do you know what you're talking about?"

His voice was low and suppressed.

"Didn't you hear clearly?" Aokiji's eyes locked onto Weiss, a hint of sternness in his gaze. "What a bold statement! Don't you take the World Government seriously?"

His question echoed in the air, carrying the majesty of a navy admiral and the maintenance of the authority of the World Government.

"It's just a civilization that hasn't left its own planet. What's there to be afraid of?" Weiss responded nonchalantly, his tone revealing a contempt for the World Government.

"Are you really an alien?" Aokiji's curiosity was completely aroused, and he began to try to find out information about Weiss.

In his opinion, the identity and background of this man who suddenly appeared and possessed great power was crucial, and perhaps he could find a way to deal with it from it.

"My identity will be published in the World Economic Journal tomorrow."

After Weiss said this, he turned around and left in a cool manner.

"Hey, where's Doflamingo?"

Seeing that Weiss was about to leave, Aokiji quickly mentioned one of the important purposes of his visit.

Doflamingo is involved in complex forces and numerous secrets, and he cannot just disappear without a clear explanation.

"I used you as my experimental subject."

Weiss's answer was simple and direct, but it made Aokiji's heart sink.

"Alala~, things are taking a turn for the worst."

Aokiji scratched his hair helplessly. He could foresee that because of Weiss's appearance and the actions he took, the situation in the whole world was about to fall into chaos.

"The mission was a complete failure."

Aokiji sighed inwardly. He had originally hoped to successfully recruit Weiss to become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and at the same time figure out the relevant matters after Doflamingo's downfall, but now these two goals have become a bubble.

He stood there for a long time, looking at the direction where Weiss left, thinking about how to report this terrible situation to Marshal Zhan Guo.
