One Piece: Starting from Awakening the Cosmo at Marineford

"Commendable courage."

Lucci sneered, his body slowly transforming back into human form, and continued, "Unfortunately, you've all been throwing your lives away."

Finbdi scoffed, "At least I'm stronger than you. Don't tell me you can't do anything to the boss; you might not even be able to beat me."

Aaron asked, "Lucci, did you come here hoping to earn some merit and use that as leverage to rejoin the World Government's CP organization?"

Lu Qi said, "First, tell me who you are."

"Boss, don't tell him," said Finbdi.

Aaron smiled: "My name is Nell Aaron, Colonel of this unit."

Lucci's eyes widened: "You're Aaron?"

Finbdy was taken aback: "You've heard of the boss?"

Lu Qi said, "I've heard about your deeds from Stussy. I've been wanting to meet you for a long time, but I never expected to run into you here."

"Ha, Stussy, what a big mouth."

Lu Qi said, "Don't blame her. Anyone who knew about what you did would be unable to keep quiet and would share it with others."

Colonel Aaron, are there really only three of you? Where is the person who sat at the same table as you at the banquet?

Aaron explained the situation briefly, and Lucci understood.

He shook his head: "Even so, we can only do some underhanded things behind the scenes. We can't confront the Golden Lion head-on. By the way, have you notified headquarters yet? It's a two- or three-day flight from here to the G14 branch. If you notify them now, there's still time for headquarters to organize manpower."

Aaron chuckled, "Perhaps the Golden Lion's true objective isn't the G14 branch?"

Lucci asked, puzzled, "What do you mean?"

"Golden Lion is recruiting people so openly that some will inevitably infiltrate. What he announced at the banquet may not be his true intention."

Lucci's eyelids twitched: "You mean, his plan to attack G14 branch is just a smokescreen. If the Navy mobilizes manpower to defend G14 branch, it will leave G5 and New Marineford vulnerable, and then Shiki can turn around and attack G5 or even Marine Headquarters?"

Aaron said, "That possibility cannot be ruled out."

Lucci took a deep breath: "So, attacking G14 might indeed be a ruse, just to prevent people like us from infiltrating."

Aaron said, "Whether it's a ruse or not, these people won't be able to leave this island."

"You're not planning to kill them all, are you?"

"It's not impossible."

Lucci thought for a moment: "There are only three of you, and seven of me, making a total of ten... By the way, you must have called for reinforcements, right? Besides, with Golden Lion causing such a commotion, the Navy couldn't possibly be unaware of it."

Aaron said, "There might be reinforcements, but I don't know if they'll arrive on time."

Lucci had just breathed a sigh of relief when his worry returned: "Can't be on time? That's the same as not having reinforcements at all. Who did you call? Kizaru, Fujitora, or Green Bull?"

Aaron shook his head: "Neither. It's former Admiral Zephyr, the chief instructor of the naval training camp."

"Zeff? Didn't he already leave the Navy? Why would he come to help?"

"What Zephyr wants to do now is kill pirates. This huge group of pirates gathered here is like a swarm of mice to a cat. He'll definitely come. But when he comes, I can't say for sure."

Lucky said, "Hopefully we'll be on time. That way, we might still survive."

Aaron asked with a smile, "What? Did you come here prepared to die?"

Lucci gave a bitter smile: "Of course not. We originally only planned to cause trouble here, assassinate some captains and officers, and weaken the Golden Lion's power. Unfortunately, we couldn't stop them from setting sail."

Aaron said, "There's a way. We just need to destroy their ships."

Lucci chuckled sarcastically, "Why didn't I think of that? If we destroy their ship, how will we get away?"

Aaron shrugged. "No matter what, we can't let these people leave this island. This is where they'll die."

Lu Qi said, "It's not that I don't believe you, but your boasting is still too exaggerated."

Finbuddy chuckled: "You have no idea how strong the boss is! He didn't even use a tenth of his strength when he fought you just now."

Lucci chuckled: "Do you think I'd believe that?"

Fombey replied with an indifferent expression, "Believe it or not, it's up to you. You'll see tomorrow."

Lu Qi asked, "What are your plans for tomorrow?"

Aaron said, "We'll see how things unfold."

"whispering sound!"

Lucci stood up: "I should go. My companions are waiting for me to join them."

"No need to see me out."

Too lazy to open the door, Lucci jumped out of the window.

Aaron stretched: "Alright. Let's go back to sleep."

Hibari said, "Senior Aaron, are you sure this Lucci will help us? They are still being hunted down by the World Government."

Aaron said, "Give them a chance. Judging from their current performance, they are indeed fighting pirates."

Hibari nodded: "That's true. Let's see how things go tomorrow."

The next morning, Aaron was awakened by a series of urgent knocks on the door.

Before he could get up, the door was kicked open with a bang.

A few "ding-ding" sounds were followed by the call of the golden lion.

"Phoenix! Phoenix!"

Aaron yawned, slowly got up, walked out of the room, and ran into the golden lion.

"Hehehehe! I knew you'd be alright!"

Aaron said, "Aren't we supposed to be leaving at noon? Why are you looking for me so early?"

Golden Lion said, "You don't know, but last night, more than twenty captains and their subordinates were killed."

"Huh? Have you found the murderer? Do you know who it is?"

Golden Lion said, "No. But it must be someone from the Navy. The cause of death for all of them was a bloody hole in their chest, near their heart. This is a Navy-exclusive skill, Finger Pistol."

"I've heard of it."

The Golden Lion waved his hand dismissively: "These people are no loss. As long as you're alright, that's all that matters."

Aaron chuckled to himself, thinking, "Thank you."

I don't know whether to say that Leo values ​​talent or that they prefer the strong and dislike the weak.

At ten o'clock, a broadcast suddenly sounded on the island.

The golden lion's roar echoed across the entire island.

"Everyone in the Flying Pirates, assemble at the port immediately."

Half an hour later, more than 10,000 people had gathered at the port.

Golden Lion floated in mid-air, arms crossed: "Gentlemen, an accident occurred last night. Several captains were killed. Some of us have infiltrated the World Government and the Navy. Our plans may have been leaked."

But it doesn't matter. The attack on G14 was just a smokescreen I set up. I won't wait until noon to set off.

Now, I declare that the Flying Pirates' target is the Navy's G5 base!

Now, everyone board the ship immediately and prepare to depart!
