One Piece: Starting from Awakening the Cosmo at Marineford

The next day, while Aaron and Finbuddy were training, Lark called from the treetop, "Senior Aaron, another ship is coming!"

"Huh? The ship sank! Who could have done this?"

Aaron said, "No rush. The person who's going to make a move will come soon. Let's fire a warning shot."

"it is good."

Lark cocked his gun and fired a shot into the sky.

The birds roosting in the forest were startled and flew into the sky, fluttering for a while before landing back down.

Just two or three minutes later, a figure landed in front of them.

"Trafalgar Law? You sank that pirate ship just now?"

"Just doing it on a whim."

Lark and Finch began to be on guard.

Luo, dressed in a long black robe and holding a knife, looked at Aaron.

Where is Caesar Courant?

Aaron laughed and said, "I thought you came to see me."

Luo said, "I did come to see you, but it's for Caesar Courland."

"How so?"

Luo said solemnly, "I hope you can hand him over to me; I need his help in some way."

"Hey, Law," Finbdi shouted, "you don't have a deal with Caesar too, do you?"

"No. I have a plan that requires him."

Finbdi scoffed, "You want to take over the underworld's weapons business, don't you?"

Luo, somewhat speechless at the aggressive Finbuddy, turned to Aaron and asked, "Do you agree or not?"

Aaron said, "I can agree. But now is not the time."

"Not the right time? Why?"

Aaron smiled and said, "You haven't done what you promised me yet. Come talk to me after you've finished this."

Law became one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea in order to use that identity to investigate certain matters, capture Caesar Clown, and use him to threaten Doflamingo into resigning his position so that he could take action against him and bring him down.

If Aaron were to give Caesar to him now, Law would likely immediately begin implementing his plan to deal with Doflamingo.

Aaron's request for help in capturing the Impel Down escaped pirates fell through.

Moreover, Law's current strength is far from sufficient, and without the help of the Straw Hat Pirates, he will naturally end in failure.

Aaron wasn't too concerned about Luo's death.

He just didn't want this free labor to leave too soon.

Luo sighed, "So, you're saying you're unwilling to hand Caesar over to me?"

Aaron said, "At least not now. I'll consider it once you hand over 100 fugitive hearts to Marine Headquarters and become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea."

Luo gritted his teeth, his gaze toward Aaron now carrying a hint of hostility.

But he loosened his grip on the knife.

He also realized that with his current strength, he was no match for Doflamingo.

"Alright. Major Aaron, I don't think Caesar is here either, is he? The message said there were only three people on the island, and you two happen to be the three of them."

Aaron chuckled, "That's right. This was just bait. I guessed you'd come, but I didn't expect it to be so soon. How about we grab a bite to eat?"

"All right."

The four of them returned to the cabin together, and Aaron and Lark busied themselves preparing the meal.

Luo and Finkley sat on the left, staring at each other.

Aaron said, "Hey, are you guys just sitting here? Hurry up and help."

Luo stood up and was about to reach for the dishes when Fenbdi quickly snatched them away.

Luo could only reach for a few pairs of chopsticks.

After sitting down, Aaron asked, "Ronald, how many fugitives have you caught?"

"Three."

"That's a bit too little."

I'm all alone.

"Where are your crew members?"

"They have their own things to do."

What are your plans for the future?

Luo put down his chopsticks: "Your legend is also circulating on the high seas of the New World. Some fugitives are starting to gather together, preparing to band together. Others are already preparing to seek refuge with Wang Zhi on Beehive Island. That's a paradise for pirates."

I'm planning to make a trip to Beehive Island in a while. If I'm lucky, I might be able to collect 100 fugitive hearts in one go.

Aaron nodded: "Indeed. Finding the right place can definitely make things much easier. However, that's Wang Zhi's territory. Are you confident in your abilities?"

"Give it a try."

Aaron drank a bowl of wine: "Then you'd better plan carefully. Wang Zhi is also a legendary pirate, and he has many powerful pirates under his command. In addition, there are pirates entrenched all over the island. It's easy for you to get on the island, but it will probably be difficult for you to leave."

Luo said, "I will plan carefully, but it will take quite a while."

Aaron poured another bowl of wine and said with a smile, "Let me know when the time comes, and I'll be ready to help."

Luo looked up at Aaron, a hopeful glint in his eyes: "Can you help?"

"Haha, after all, you're doing me a favor now. You want to catch pirates, so I should help. Perhaps, I can help with other things too."

Luo's pupils contracted sharply, and his heart began to tremble with excitement.

He thought to himself: If he were to take action, that matter might be resolved.

"Okay! I'll contact you then."

Aaron nodded: "Come on, have a drink. Try the Navy's liquor."

Aaron poured wine into Luo's bowl, and Luo drank two mouthfuls heartily.

Aaron suddenly asked, "Luo, are you interested in joining the Navy?"

"What?" Luo choked on the wine, coughed violently, and tears streamed down his face.

Lark and Finbuddy were also taken aback.

"Senior Aaron, he's a pirate!"

"Yeah, boss, how could pirates..."

Finbdi stopped halfway through his sentence.

He thought of his good friend, Django, who was originally the vice-captain of the Black Cat Pirates.

The two met through dancing, and without knowing Django's identity, Fumbudy fought alongside him against other pirate crews and became good friends with him.

Later, when Zango's identity was exposed, Finbuddy decided to break ties with him.

It was around that time that Colonel Tina appeared, and the two of them became Tina's devoted followers, starting over as privates. By the time of the Marineford War, they had become majors at headquarters.

Therefore, the Navy does not absolutely prohibit pirates from changing their appearance and joining the crew.

Moreover, Luo was originally a supernova, and his bounty had recently exceeded 2 million.

If he were willing to join the navy, the higher-ups would probably welcome him.

Luo coughed for a while, then finally calmed down.

"Major Aaron, are you serious?"

Aaron said, "To correct you, I'm a colonel now. Yes, I really mean it."

Why?

Not only Luo wanted to know, but Lark and Finbuddy also wanted to know.

Aaron smiled, wanting to whet their appetites a little. After finishing his drink, he poured himself another bowl and slowly began to drink.

Luo was breathing heavily, looking annoyed. Fenbudi couldn't take his anger out on Aaron, so he could only shake his head and sigh.

After waiting a while, Yun Que urged, "Senior Aaron, please tell us!"

Aaron swallowed the last bit of wine before slowly saying, "This all started with the Warring States Marshal."
