One Piece: Starting from Awakening the Cosmo at Marineford

The three of them went into the bar without looking back, and the dozen or so pirates followed closely behind.

Half of the tables were full, and the other half were empty; at a rough estimate, there were probably over a hundred people.

These people all looked like villains, with rough appearances, foul language, and they cursed, argued, and ate and drank as if no one else was around.

Two or three people were fast asleep on the table, whether from a hangover or from just getting drunk, it was hard to tell.

Lark was so nervous that he gripped the gun with one hand and clutched Aaron's clothes with the other.

"Senior Aaron, these people are terrifying..."

Aaron comforted him, "There's nothing to be afraid of. Just like the dogs on the street, baring their teeth and howling fiercely. But when you get fierce, they get scared."

"Hehe, really?"

Finbdi glanced around and nodded: "There aren't any particularly skilled people among these people."

Aaron found a table, sat down, called a waiter, and ordered food and drinks.

The dozen or so pirates also sat around the three tables next to them and called for waiters.

"They look so fierce, would they really treat us to a meal?" Lark whispered.

Aaron was somewhat taken aback. Was this lark really that naive?

"Don't worry, they will invite them."

Hibari was uneasy and secretly glanced around, inevitably making eye contact with the pirates and human trafficking groups.

Lark shrank his neck and moved his chair closer to Aaron.

The food and drinks were served quickly, and Aaron devoured them in no time. Then he grabbed a tissue to wipe his mouth and exclaimed, "Haaah!"

A wad of phlegm flew onto the table next to him and landed on the leg of the pirate wearing the captain's tricorn hat.

The two pirates jumped to their feet: "Hey! Are you blind?!"

Finbdi jumped to his feet, brandishing his brass knuckles and waving his fist: "Can't you guys dodge?"

"what?"

The two pirates looked at each other, momentarily stunned by this unreasonable yet arrogant person. But then they thought, aren't all pirates like this?

"I'll fuck your mother..."

"Sit down, everyone!"

The pirate leader waited until his two underlings sat down, then looked at Aaron and asked, "Sir, did you spit that phlegm?"

Aaron replied sincerely, "Yes, what's wrong? Is there a problem?"

The pirate captain was also taken aback. What's wrong? What do you think happened?

No wonder that dark-skinned pink-haired guy was so confident; it turns out he has a boss like you.

"It's nothing, I just wanted to confirm."

The pirate leader pulled out a tissue and wiped the phlegm off his leg with a look of disgust.

Aaron rested one hand on the back of the chair and turned to look at the pirate leader.

"Hey, you look familiar, I feel like I've seen you somewhere before."

"Heh, really?"

Aaron frowned, pretending to ponder, "Could it be someone from our hometown?"

One of the pirate crew members proudly proclaimed, "Our boss is Nick Fury, the Red Fox, with a bounty of 3200 million Berries!"

Another pirate crew member said even more smugly, "Let me tell you, our boss spent three years studying at Impel Down. Once the bounty is updated, it'll be over 100 million in no time!"

The other dozen or so pirates laughed heartily, their laughter filled with pride.

Nick the Red Fox smiled and said, "Keep it low-key, keep it low-key!"

Aaron laughed heartily, "So what if you went to jail? What's with all this talk of 'further education'? This bar has at least two people who've been to Impel Down! It's not shameful, right?"

"Hahaha!"

The bar erupted in laughter.

Nick the Red Fox laughed loudly, "Hehehe! That's right! Going into Impel Down and coming out safely, there's really nothing shameful about it! Hey buddy, I like hearing that. What's your name?"

"Aaron".

"Okay! This meal is on me! Let's be friends!"

Aaron said, "We've only just met. There's no need for us to become friends."

Aaron turned to Finch and Lark and said, "You two go outside and wait for me."

Finbuddy winked, Aaron nodded, Finbuddy nodded again, and then gave Lark a signal.

Lark looked worried, frowned, glanced at Aaron, but still obediently followed Finbuddy out.

Aaron stood up: "Fellow pirates, does anyone else want to go out?"

"Huh?" The pirates, who were still laughing, were stunned.

Aaron looked at Nick the Red Fox: "Just now, I only said my name, I haven't said my identity yet. Aren't you curious?"

Nick Fury, still confused, chuckled and asked, "So, you also escaped from Impel Down? What's your nickname? How much is your bounty?"

Aaron laughed heartily: "As for me, I'm a lieutenant commander from the Navy Headquarters. I hereby declare you under arrest! Surrender obediently, or you'll be killed on the spot!"

The bar fell silent for a moment, then erupted in uproar.

"Haha! You idiot! You dare declare war on so many of us all by yourself!"

"Who do you think you are? Akainu?"

"Men! Kill them!"

Inside the bar, hundreds of pirates drew their guns and knives, kicked over tables and chairs, and charged toward Aaron with shouts.

Nick the Red Fox jumped to his feet, took two steps back, and waved his hands: "Men, what are you waiting for! Kill him!"

"kill!"

The two pirate underlings who had been there earlier rushed forward first.

Aaron smiled slightly, took a step forward, and reached out with both hands, grabbing the throats of two pirates.

With two soft "clicks," the two pirates instantly breathed their last.

Aaron didn't let go; instead, he suddenly lifted them up, grabbing their ankles with both hands and swinging the two corpses around.

A series of loud thuds rang out as more than a dozen pirates who had rushed forward were sent flying, crashing into the people behind them.

Aaron then dropped the two corpses in his hands and looked at Nick the Red Fox.

Nick held a pistol in his hand and looked at Aaron, who seemed to have descended like a god of death, and a sense of fear welled up in his heart.

Nick forced himself to calm down and pointed the pistol at Aaron.

Aaron grinned, and in a flash, he was behind him, one hand already grabbing the top of his head.

Nick the Red Fox felt like the fingers on his head were about to crush it, and he screamed and begged for mercy, "Wait, don't kill me! Don't you remember? I just said I'd treat you to dinner!"

"Sorry, I'm a Marine."

With a "crack," several bloody holes burst open on the top of Nick the Red Fox's head, and two streaks of blood flowed out from his hair.

"hiss..."

Dozens of pirates gasped in shock at the sight of this horrific scene.

The notorious pirate with a 3200 million bounty died just like that? With just one move?

Aaron released his grip and looked at the pirates who had retreated on both sides.

Several pirates cried out in alarm, "Oh my god!" and, swords in hand, sprinted from the side passage toward the door.

With a "whoosh," Aaron's figure blocked the doorway.

The pirates threw their swords and guns to the ground and shouted, "We surrender!"

Aaron sneered, "I already said that anyone who dares to resist will be killed on the spot. Now you're thinking of surrendering? Too late."

"What?!"

Marines are supposed to be spared if they surrender, right? Why is this guy like this?

With nowhere else to turn, the pirates steeled themselves, grabbed the swords they had just thrown down, and began stabbing and slashing at Aaron.
