One Piece: Starting from Awakening the Cosmo at Marineford

Aaron was also a little surprised when he heard the news; things had developed beyond his expectations.

But he quickly came to terms with it.

Plans can't keep up with changes, and things never go according to plan, just like a river doesn't flow in a straight line.

Pirates and human traffickers are killing each other; let things get out of control.

After all, this is a good thing.

Aaron, along with Lark and the flamboyant Finch who was reluctant to take off his knight's uniform, stood on the second-floor balcony, drinking cola and other beverages, watching the chaotic fight unfolding on the street below.

On this one street alone, there are five or six battles every day.

When encountering those who engage in empty talk, some enthusiastic onlookers will inquire which side of the pirates is more cowardly, offering a few sarcastic remarks and adding fuel to the fire.

"belch..."

Aaron drank two bottles of Coke, burped, and was already getting a little tired of watching.

The pirates' fights are hardly entertaining, and they also cause a lot of noise and disturbance to the residents.

Lark only watched the first scene for a while. Seeing the scene of blood and flesh flying everywhere, he couldn't bear it and turned his back.

The shouts of battle, screams, clashing swords, and gunfire reminded her that the fight was still ongoing.

Hibari frowned, looking worried. "Have we gone a bit too far? Won't headquarters be angry with us?"

Aaron took another sip of cola: "It's not too much. These pirates are fighting fiercely, but they haven't attacked civilians yet. You're sympathizing with them now, but they won't hold back when they attack civilians. Even if headquarters finds out I instigated this, I'll take the blame if they do.

Yun Que pouted, "That's true. Besides, I was involved in this too, so I can't let you take the blame alone."

After following Aaron for a few days, Finbuddy roughly learned about his attitude towards pirates.

"Hibari, I think the boss is right. These pirates deserved to die, and the human traffickers deserved to die even more. If headquarters really has to take responsibility, we'll all share the blame!"

Aaron patted him on the shoulder: "Thanks for your kindness."

"Brubru..."

Aaron wasn't used to it yet. The Den Den Mushi rang twice more before he realized what was happening and pulled a cell phone-sized Den Den Mushi out of his pocket.

When the call connected, it was Garp's old face.

"Hahaha, Aaron, did you cause the chaos on Sabaody Archipelago?"

Aaron yawned: "Old man, don't talk nonsense without evidence."

"Ha! Major General Kadakorn has already reported what happened at the bar. The bartender is a witness. You only left one person alive to relay the message, that's a bit ruthless!"

"It's alright. Compared to you leaving no one alive, this is relatively mild."

The Garp-like face on the Den Den Mushi turned smug: "So, the current chaos in Sabaody Archipelago is indeed your doing."

Aaron neither confirmed nor denied it, but instead asked, "Isn't this a good thing?"

"That's good news. But be careful, there's a legendary pirate on the island. If you alert him, you'll be in big trouble."

"You mean Rayleigh, the Dark Lord? He's not on the island right now."

Are you sure?

"I'm absolutely certain."

Aaron thought to himself: Rayleigh is probably training your good grandson on some island somewhere right now.

"Haha, alright, then you better make an even bigger commotion! If anything happens, I'll take the blame!"

"You said it yourself."

"I said it!"

Aaron hung up the Den Den Mushi, thinking: Old man, you'd better not regret this later...

Aaron looked at Lark and Finbdi: "You both heard what Grandpa Karp just said. If he blames me later, you two will be my witnesses."

"Huh?" Hibari suddenly had a bad feeling.

Finbdy scratched his head: "Boss, if Vice Admiral Garp really gets angry, I might not be able to handle it..."

Aaron rolled his eyes: "Garp's nickname is Iron Fist, and yours is also Iron Fist, Double Iron Fist, how can you be so cowardly?"

Fenbdi chuckled awkwardly, "Boss, about my nickname... hehe, please don't make fun of me."

Aaron waved his hand: "Finbuddy, if you really want to develop an iron fist, take off your brass knuckles and train with me from now on. Train your hands into real iron fists."

Finbdi raised his hands, looked at them, and gritted his teeth, saying, "Boss, I'll do as you say."

After saying that, he was about to take off his brass knuckles.

Aaron said, "Let's wear it for now, there's no training right now."

"oh."

"Inform them and assign tasks."

"Boss," Finbdi said, "we only have about 20 people in total. Should we borrow some men from Major General Qatar?"

"No need. That's enough. Have them operate in groups of five. Once the mission is complete, retreat immediately."

"Huh?" Finbuddy stared wide-eyed. "Boss, you're not planning on the three of us taking on those pirates and human traffickers by ourselves, are you?"

Aaron said, "What are you afraid of? Lark didn't say anything."

Lark said, "I just didn't have time."

Aaron reassured him, "Don't worry, I'm fine on my own. Take care of yourselves, or just find somewhere to hide."

Fombardy panicked: "How can that be! How can I let you fight alone!"

Aaron chuckled and said, "I appreciate your kind intentions. To be honest, I'm worried that you guys might hold me back."

Skylark grew anxious: "Senior Aaron, I can help!"

Aaron thought about it. Lark was his partner, and Finbuddy was his younger brother. Letting them participate would help them grow.

"Alright then, Lark, when the battle begins, find a high vantage point immediately. Finbdi, you cover my rear to prevent any sneak attacks from behind."

Hibari happily replied, "Yes, Senior Aaron!"

Finbdi said, "Boss, don't worry! Even if I die..."

Aaron raised his hand: "Stop! I'll spare your life."

Soon, three days had passed.

The three changed their clothes and went to the No. 1 GR store.

Although the agreed times were 11 o'clock and 12 o'clock, some pirates couldn't wait and arrived early, scattering in small groups on the open ground of GR1.

Disco greeted them at the door and bowed when he saw Aaron and the other two.

It's obvious that they only put in some last-minute effort, and their learning isn't very standard.

Aaron glanced at the time; it was nearly 11 o'clock. He then asked, "Has the goods I requested been delivered?"

Disco glanced at the two large leather trunks Finbuddy was carrying, then turned back with a fawning smile: "Your Excellency Duke Aaron, all 500 pirates are accounted for. Among them is a captain with a bounty of over ten million Berries! And several officers with bounties exceeding five million Berries."

Aaron nodded: "Well done."

"But..." Disco rubbed his hands together, hesitating to speak.

Finbdi snorted and snapped, "Just say what you want to say, stop beating around the bush!"

"Yes, Duke Aaron. These past two or three days, those human trafficking gangs have been working very hard, and there are dozens more goods than usual. What do you think?"

"Take me, the Duke, to see the goods!"
