One Piece: Starting from Awakening the Cosmo at Marineford

Upon hearing Aaron's words, Kadakongbo couldn't help but chuckle, bursting out with laughter, "Major General Aaron, I know you're young and promising, full of vigor. Becoming a Major General at 22 is a height many can't reach in their entire lives. But you say you want to deal with Dark King Rayleigh, heh..."

Aaron said, "Major General Kadakornbo, I don't need your approval. Just do what you're supposed to do."

Kadakongbo chuckled coldly, "Oh, so you're telling me how to do things."

"My warship is docked here. Come with me for a tour of the island."

Aaron ignored Kadakongbo's sarcastic expression and led his men out of the naval base to stroll around the Sabaody Archipelago.

Aaron had not appeared on the sea for almost a year, and the pirates no longer had the fear and awe they once had for his name.

They lingered freely in the Sabaody Archipelago, turning it into a pirate paradise.

The island became increasingly chaotic, to the point of lawlessness.

Kadakongbo is a major general in the headquarters, but his strength is limited. He is stationed here and cannot play a significant role.

Although the pirates on the island are arrogant, they are not so outrageous as to not run away when they see marines.

In particular, Aaron and his group's demeanor was clearly different from that of ordinary marines; they were definitely not to be trifled with.

Aaron ignored him and said to the marines following behind him:

"Hold your tongue for now, so as not to alert them. Tomorrow, many pirates on the island will head to GR 46; they will be your training targets."

"Instructor, what level of capability are we capable of?"

"One word: Kill!"

"Yes, instructor!"

The pirates on the island had no idea what kind of scourge had arrived at Sabaody Archipelago. They were unaware that they had become lambs to the slaughter in the eyes of the "Butcher of the Sea."

That evening, Aaron and his group were drinking at a bar.

Everyone in the bar was talking about the Straw Hat crew, who had disappeared for two years and then reappeared.

These commoners each had their own idols: pirates and marines.

Many people idolize Aaron.

Aaron's actions on the island two years ago were also brought up for discussion by the people at the next table.

They speculated that Aaron's disappearance that year might have been due to his death in the Battle of Beehive Island.

While expressing their regret for Aaron, they also mentioned that after Blackbeard occupied Beehive Island, his power grew day by day, and the status of the Four Emperors was now unshakeable.

Lark whispered, "Senior Aaron, they say you're dead..."

Aaron said, "It's alright, let them say what they want. I can't shut them up."

The ordinary people at the table were chatting happily when one of them, emboldened by alcohol, suggested, "Hey, how about we go to GR 46 tomorrow and join the fun? Let's see how the Straw Hat crew has changed in two years!"

"Go if you want. Major General Qatari on the island won't stand idly by. A battle is inevitable tomorrow!"

"Hey! It's only interesting when there's fighting!"

"With bullets flying everywhere, if you get hit by a stray bullet, you're done for."

Why are you so afraid of dying?

"If you're not afraid, you go ahead, but I'm not going."

"I'm not going either."

The drunk man scoffed, "You're all cowards! If none of you are going, it's no fun for me to go alone. Forget it, I'm not going either."

"Heh, you're scared now, aren't you?"

"You think I'm afraid?"

Yun Que said, "Senior Aaron, there are probably quite a few commoners who think this way. Tomorrow, quite a few people will still go to GR46 to join in the fun."

Aaron said, "It's alright. It's easy to handle."

The next morning, the pirates who had been staying in the Sabaody Archipelago began to converge on GR 46.

Meanwhile, there is another event on the island: the farewell concert of the King of Souls.

People from many nearby islands also gathered in the Sabaody Archipelago.

Around noon, Aaron led his men to GR46 and saw a large crowd gathered in front of a high platform.

These people were excitedly discussing how they would soon become the Straw Hat Pirates' underlings.

Aaron didn't rush forward. He turned around and saw a group of pacifists and dozens of marines striding over.

When Sentomaru saw Aaron, he frowned and questioned, "I've already told Major General Kadakongbo that there's no need to send anyone over; I can handle it."

Aaron said, "I am Major General Nell Aaron from this unit. I happened to be passing through the Sabaody Archipelago and heard that something had happened here, so I came to take a look."

Sentomaru snorted, "Whatever. Just don't get in my way."

Aaron chuckled: "You're Sentomaru, the captain of the Science Unit?"

"That's me!"

Aaron nodded: "Nice to meet you."

Sentomaru turned his head and looked at the group of pirates: "Straw Hat Luffy is mine!"

Aaron smiled and said, "Please."

Sentomaru led two Pacifistas and marines forward.

Aaron waved his hand: "You can move out now. Remember, leave no one alive among those dressed as pirates."

"Yes, instructor!"

The 40 new recruits, their blood boiling with excitement and high morale, were eager to fight and charged forward with their knives and guns in hand.

Sentomaru angrily retorted, "Major Admiral Aaron, didn't you say Straw Hat Luffy was mine?!"

Aaron said, "Yes. The others are mine."

Sentomaru's features converging on his nose, he angrily slammed the axe he was carrying on his shoulder onto the ground: "PX5, scan the scene!"

Hearing the commotion, the pirates began to riot.

They weren't afraid of the marines, but when they saw the two pacifists who had been so powerful in the Marineford War, they were immediately terrified.

Only the Carib brothers remained relatively calm.

Caribou licked his lips and grinned darkly, "Men, take down these marines!"

Aaron said calmly, "Finbuddy, Bernard, you two go and take care of Carib and the Kreebe brothers."

Fombey laughed, "Boss, I can do it all by myself. Shave!"

Finbdi rushed over and started fighting with the Carib brothers.

Bernard had no choice but to clear out the surrounding fish.

Aaron looked in Sentomaru's direction; he had just finished off Danmaro Black, who was impersonating Luffy.

The real Luffy, disguised, also appeared on the high platform.

Hibari looked towards the platform: "Aaron-senpai, are you really going to attack Luffy?"

Aaron said, "Leave it to Sentomaru. We'll deal with the others."

"Boom!" An explosion rang out. The PX5's laser beam missed Luffy and was then instantly killed by Luffy's attack.

Aaron gave a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth and shook his head.

Even though Luffy has mastered Haki, he's still not good enough.

Hibari said, "Luffy is much stronger than he was two years ago. He took down a Pacifista in one move. Unfortunately, compared to Aaron-senpai, he's still too weak."

Findy had already returned carrying the half-dead Caribou and Kreebou, tossed them to the ground, and said contemptuously, "Boss, these two brothers are still big pirates with bounties of around 2 million Berries. They're not even enough to warm me up."

Aaron said, "Keep an eye on the others."

Finbdi nodded, then his eyes suddenly lit up: "Black Leg Sanji!"
