Marineford in Sharingan, Uchiha Admiral

The land of flowers.

This country, located in the eastern part of the West Sea, is one of the few super-large islands in the Four Seas region that has two extreme climates.

Half of it is a frozen continent, and the other half is summer all year round.

With a population of nearly ten million, it is one of the largest countries in the Western Sea region.

……

The architecture here is very similar to the mountain town style of Allen's hometown, with vermilion towers scattered among the peaks and carved beams and painted rafters under the eaves. At first glance, he thought he had traveled back to ancient times.

……

"Remember to get back to headquarters soon, or Grandpa Zephyr will cause me trouble."

At the port, Kizaru looked up for a while. In the distance, the mountain peaks were shrouded in clouds and mist, and the plank road was like a long dragon winding around.

He clicked his tongue and said, "Your hometown is quite nice. Is this your first time back since joining the Navy?"

"Hehe~ Is there a childhood sweetheart here~?"

"Let me tell you, I'm the most tight-lipped person in the Navy Headquarters!"

……

Allen rolled his eyes at Kizaru and stepped onto the stone steps.

He had no feelings for the Flower Country, and even if it were his true homeland, he had no relatives there and nothing to miss.

"Well, Allen, you're really cold. I even went out of my way to give you a ride."

"I'll be going now. You can contact the warships at headquarters yourself."

The group of people at the port watched in shock as Kizaru transformed into light and then vanished in the same way, their jaws nearly dropping to the ground.

Ability users are rare even in the world, let alone Logia-type users.

……

After a moment of silence, a man shouted from the crowd, "I understand!!"

"I remember now! I saw a Navy report about that guy six months ago. He was the newly promoted Admiral, Kizaru!!"

"A Marine Admiral! Why would such a high-ranking figure come here...?"

"It seems like they brought that person here."

"To have a commander-in-chief escorting him... could it be... the legendary Celestial Dragon, a descendant of the gods?!"

……

Ignoring the bewildered and shocked passersby, Allen, dressed in black casual clothes, disappeared from everyone's sight in a few steps.

come all come...

Go say hello.

……

A small house nestled among the mountains, with bells hanging from its eaves that tinkle in the wind.

The sign at the entrance bears three powerful characters: "Hua Zhi Jian" (meaning "Between Flowers").

Yes, this tavern shares the same name as the residence of the so-called King of the World, Im.

In other words, the taboo against using the names of revered figures is not prevalent here, and Im's existence cannot be made public. Otherwise, just this name alone would be enough for the World Government to issue several Buster Calls to the Flower Country.

Jingle Bell……

The doorbell rang.

The person at the bar counter, head down wiping the glasses, didn't look up: "You're early, sir. We only open at sunset."

Hearing the approaching footsteps, the person looked up, about to remind them again...

……

……

This was a tall, thin man who looked to be in his forties or fifties. He had short hair and a scar on his face that stretched from his left forehead to his jaw, making him look fierce.

"Long time no see, boss."

thump—

Allen slammed his iced glass on the bar: "A cup of flowers and mountains, bring your own cup and get 30% off, right?"

Clang!

The metal utensil in the man's hand fell to the ground, and he stood there stunned for a long while.

"It really is you!!"

"You're back, Allen!!!"

-

A sign indicating that the business is closed has been hung up in Huajian.

The boss sat somewhat awkwardly to the side, rubbing his hands and smiling, "When I saw it in the newspaper, I couldn't believe it..."

"No! I knew all along that Lord Allen would achieve great things. From a young age, you've been exceptionally gifted and intelligent..."

Allen rarely drinks alcohol, only occasionally taking a small sip.

The boss's gaze remained calm and unwavering.

……

Unlike Sanji and Zeff, he didn't have a story with his boss. It's been said before that he barely made a living by using his Ice Release.

It's not that easy to meet kind people.

If it weren't for his skill in freezing ice into cups, the boss would never have hired him; their relationship would have been simply that of a worker and an employee.

As for the scar on the boss's face, which tells a story...

It was caused by him accidentally bumping into a corner of the wall when he was drunk one time.

……

Allen is a man who repays kindness and holds grudges for the rest of the day.

The West Sea branch where he worked wasn't far from the Flower Country. If the boss had really taken him in out of kindness, he wouldn't have never returned.

"No need for idle chatter."

Allen took a small bag from his sleeve, which contained some loose gold.

"On my way here, I saw a lot of people gathering in one place. Is something wrong?"

The shopkeeper hesitated to take the bag, forcing a smile as he said, "It's the Eight Treasures Navy's competition. The winner has the chance to receive Master Green Pepper's true teachings!!"

"Today is the decisive day. There are four people in total, two of whom are Lord Green Pepper's grandsons!"

……

As the largest armed force in the Flower Kingdom, the Eight Treasures Navy has a cooperative relationship with the country and is responsible for resisting foreign invasion in exchange for legitimate status.

The group has about a thousand members, and each official member is a skilled fighter. The leader is a legendary pirate who is famous throughout the seas, Chinjao the Cone.

However, this old guy's spirit was broken by Garp, and he hasn't been to sea for a long time. It's estimated that his strength is no longer worthy of his former 500 million bounty.

……

In any world, willpower is inextricably linked to power, and this is especially evident in this world.

Green Pepper, Moria, Crocodile, and even Zephyr...

There are too many examples of this where a loss of motivation leads to a sharp decline in performance.

……

Is that so...?

No wonder you're going there too; is the true mastery of green peppers your goal?

Allen tossed down the bag of broken gold and said with a faint smile, "Consider this a thank you for your previous help. Goodbye."

-

The crowd surged toward a massive mountain peak, the headquarters of the Babao Navy, Babaolou Mountain.

A large crowd had already gathered in the square in front of the high-rise building, with an open space in the center cordoned off.

On a high platform made of bamboo poles, a red ribbon with the words "Babao Naval Martial Arts Tournament" fluttered in the wind.

……

Squeezed in the crowd, a woman wearing a black hood looked up at the banner, her eyes holding a depth that belied her delicate appearance.

It was Nicole Robin.

The Eight Treasures Navy is the largest violent organization in the Flower Kingdom, but not the only one.

Below it are several other organizations, one of which has emerged in recent years and has been rapidly expanding its territory with ruthless methods, even daring to target the Babao Water Army.

This organization is called the Jasmine Society, and it is Robin's current residence.

The chairman's mission for Robin was to steal the true teachings of Chingjao from the Happo Navy, the legendary power that was said to be enough to rival the Navy hero Garp!

Robin knew how dangerous the mission was, but she had to do it.

President Jasmine is someone who knows my background but is still willing to accept me...

Sauro, perhaps I've met... a companion willing to protect me...

suddenly--

Robin's body beneath his black robe trembled violently, as if he were being stared at by an extremely terrifying, enormous pair of eyes!

The feeling was fleeting, and she thought it was just her imagination, so she looked around in alarm.

……

On the rooftop not far away.

Allen sat on the roof, watching Robin searching for him in the crowd.

He learned the details of the incident by forcibly hypnotizing suspicious individuals among the crowd.

……

Can't you even see such a simple trick...?

Perhaps... it's only after you've come to terms with reality that you've become the person you are now.

……

"To trespass on my territory without even saying hello is outrageous!"

"Navy brat!!"

A tall figure approached, hunched over with a long white beard.

His every step exuded a subtle air of dominance.

The twelfth pillar of the Hachipo Navy, the awl-shaped green pepper!

Allen turned his head to look, a faint smile on his lips.

"Let's not even mention that I also come from the Land of Flowers."

"Green pepper, get this straight..."

"The entire seas belong to the navy; when did it become your place to dictate things?"

click-

A thunderclap exploded between the attic floors, and two powerful bursts of Haki collided violently!
