One Piece: The Human-Human Fruit, it makes sense to be an admiral

"You're still so straightforward, Kuzan. Sometimes you need to tell a few lies."

"You're being so direct, it makes it even harder for me."

"Our direct superiors are the Celestial Dragons. Don't forget this."

Aokiji could still hear this sentence, and knew that Kizaru was not deliberately looking for trouble.

Instead, he took the initiative to ask Aokiji not to make any mistakes.

Once some mistakes are made, it is really difficult to go back.

This is the situation Ian is facing now.

Now that we are on opposite sides, there is no possibility of making amends.

The two of them came here just to see if there was any chance to make everything easier.

"It doesn't matter what we discussed, it seems someone doesn't want us to have access to Ian at all."

"This aura feels familiar. It must be a familiar opponent, right?"

Aokiji looked ahead and could sense someone approaching rapidly, and the person was not weak at all.

People who possess such a terrifying aura on the sea are definitely not ordinary people. There are only a few of them, so it is not difficult to guess.

Zhan Guo had already said a lot in advance when notifying them of the action.

“Honestly, I really admire Ian’s connections and networking skills.”

"Do you have any information about Ian's contact with this guy?"

"Without any contact at all, they were able to be pulled directly into the battlefield."

"This is not something that can be achieved with ordinary communication skills."

Like Kizaru and Aokiji, they had already guessed who the visitor was.

""

Yonko, red-haired Shanks!

Not only did he join the battle, but he also brought all the members of the pirate group to Wano Country.

If someone were to say that they have been friends for decades and support Ian so desperately, people would believe it.

Only those who are familiar with Ian know that they have never had any contact before.

If it were anyone else, there would be no way Shanks would do this.

Now Shanks is not only doing this, but also working hard to deal with the two of them.

"Isn't this the truly terrifying thing about Ian?"

"Commanders of the Five Elder Stars, what you should really fear is not Ian's combat power."

"It's that he was able to place both his enemies and his own people in perfect order, without any fault to be found."

“Even I can feel it.”

Aokiji said this without reservation, expressing his true admiration from the bottom of his heart.

Don't give the two a chance to continue chatting.

Shanks appeared in front of the two of them.

Compared with the usually dashing Four Emperors, Shanks, who had just experienced a battle, looked a little embarrassed.

"Hey, General Borsalino, General Kuzan."

"It's been a long time since we last met. What a coincidence, you two."

"Are you coming to Wano Country today to deal with us pirates, or to protect the Celestial Dragons?"

As soon as Shanks came up, he started to act like an old acquaintance and greeted everyone openly.

Yellow Monkey frowned and responded:

"Red-Haired Shanks...don't you know why we're here?"

"The last time I met you was when I was working with Ian. You were my opposite."

"How long has it been? The positions have been reversed."

"Where's our Navy Supernova? Do you want to take on us all by yourself?"

Shanks wasn't worried about wasting time at all; he wanted to delay it a little longer.

Listening to Kizaru's words, he continued chatting:

"I don't want to be enemies with you two. You can see that I just went through a troublesome battle."

"Now I just want to have a good rest. I don't want to be your enemy at all."

"As long as I clarify the question I'm confused about, I can immediately make way for you two."

"What exactly is the purpose of the two great generals coming to the island?"

"Let me add one more thing..."

"Is it to capture your navy's traitors, or to deal with us pirates, or to protect the Celestial Dragons?"

When the two admirals heard Shanks' question, they were all confused.

What the hell is Shanks doing?

What is the situation now? Need I say more?

The people who are acting with Ian are Shanks and his gang.

The three options he mentioned should actually be one and the same thing.

Aokiji directly gave the most crucial and official answer:

"The first priority, of course, is to protect the Celestial Dragons."

"I don't know why you're asking, but I'm not afraid to say anything about this."

Shanks smiled.

This was the answer he wanted to hear, and it was definitely the answer Ian had anticipated.

Shanks took a deep breath and said:

"Now I understand. Did you two generals forget one thing... I am also a Celestial Dragon!"

Chapter 257 The best way to delay the general is that I am a Celestial Dragon!

Aokiji and Kizaru looked at Shanks and were stunned on the spot.

Is this the Four Emperors of Pirates that they know?

What are you talking about now?

He actually brought out his identity as a Celestial Dragon?

Just as Shanks and Ian learned.

The Navy Admiral does know Shanks's former identity.

But at the same time, he also knew that he had voluntarily given up on continuing to be a Celestial Dragon or returning to the Celestial Dragon camp.

From being a pirate in Roger's pirate group to forming his own pirate group.

For such a long time, he had never told or admitted to anyone else that he was originally a Celestial Dragon.

What the hell is going on today?

Such a sentence suddenly popped up?

"Hey, Shanks, do you even know what you're talking about?"

"Are you trying to say that you admit that you are a Celestial Dragon?"

"Haven't you been unwilling to admit it for so many years? What on earth are you planning to do today?!"

Kuzan couldn't help but say in admiration, he hadn't expected Shanks to say something like this in his opening.

"I really didn't expect this method of stopping us."

"Was it Ian's idea? That's very much his style!"

Kizaru had roughly deduced it from Shanks' reaction.

Apart from Ian, no one else could possibly use this method to directly hold the two generals back alive.

When encountering the Four Emperors of Pirates, the admiral will naturally choose to fight.

But when it comes to the Celestial Dragons, they are treated completely differently, and the generals are well aware of this.

Now that Shanks had spoken, he had gotten over this hurdle in his heart.

The following words are more fluent:

"I was ignorant before, and I got into a lot of trouble. You guys kept chasing me around."

"I've had enough of this kind of life. Now I want to change my way of life. Is that a problem?"

Qing Pheasant: "???"

Kizaru: “???”

The two couldn't believe what Shanks said.

Even if it is to stop them from taking action, it is a bit too much.

Shanks' identity is a fact known to almost everyone.

Aokiji and Kizaru looked at each other, not knowing what to do next.

Aokiji spoke first:

"Forget it, whatever the hell you're up to."

"Since you said so, I will treat you as a Celestial Dragon."

"There's no time to find the Five Elders to verify the authenticity. You can move freely. The two of us won't deal with you."
