One Piece: All-girl Group, Awakening the Blue Dragon Fruit

Chapter 33: First Battle with Qingzhi (Please recommend and collect)

With the help of El's observation Haki, Admiral Qingzhi had already arrived at the Long Chain Island quietly.

Seeing that El and his group had all gone out, Sanji and Zoro, who had originally planned to stay, also followed.

Nami stood on the beach, looking at the two empty boats, frowning and asking worriedly: "Captain, if we all leave now, what if those people come back and steal our gold?"

El looked back at Nami with a reassuring smile on his face, "It's okay, my Observation Haki will always keep an eye on the ship, no one can take our gold."

As he walked, he began to edit his new task.

[Mission Name: The World Government’s Highest Combat Power]

[Mission type: Battle]

[Mission objective: Fight with the Navy Admiral to ensure the safety of all personnel]

[Quest Reward: Unlock Fish-Fish Fruit, Mythical Beast, Blue Dragon Form, Human-Beast Form]

When Luffy and his crew returned Shirley to the stilt man, El also came to Aokiji.

At this time, Qing Zhi was wearing a simple coat and an eye mask, taking a nap in front of the door of the stilt uncle's house.

Noticing the crowd approaching, he slowly lifted his blindfold and scanned the people in front of him.

"Your pirate group is really enviable, El," Qing Zhi's voice was gentle and a little teasing, "When I listened to Tina's report, I didn't expect that your pirate group would be full of such beautiful ladies."

When Dashigi saw Qingzhi taking off his blindfold, she immediately saluted, "General Qingzhi!"

"You must be Tashigi, right? This is not a naval base. You are now a member of the pirate group, so no need to salute." Kuzan waved his hand casually, with a relaxed tone.

"I wonder what the general wants to do by coming here in person?"

Kuzan scratched his head and gave a lazy smile, "I just came out to relax."

"But generals usually have to guard the headquarters and Jomaria, right? How can they relax like this?" There was a hint of doubt in Al's words.

Qing Zhi felt the distrust of the crowd and spread his hands helplessly, "Sometimes, it is necessary to relax. I just happened to pass by and came to see you and Luffy."

"I see." Al nodded.

"However, since everyone is here, why don't we have a small exchange and let me see how strong you are as the new Shichibukai?" Qing Zhi's eyes became sharp, and his tone revealed a solemn taste.

Ai Er smiled and responded: "I am able to achieve what I have now because of the cultivation of General Qingzhi."

After saying this, he motioned for everyone to stay away from this place, and he began to change his form, transforming into a gigantic pink dragon. Its scales shone with a metallic luster in the sun, and it looked majestic and awe-inspiring.

Luffy and the others saw El transform into the Blue Dragon form and hurried over to ask the reason.

Vivi quickly explained the situation, and upon hearing that Al was about to spar with the Navy's most powerful admiral, she immediately watched with full concentration.

"It looks pretty good. Apart from the color, it looks very similar to Kaido. I don't know how you got this fruit." Kuzan couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the huge blue dragon in front of him.

El did not dare to be careless at all. He used all his armament Haki to cover his entire body, and then summoned the ability of fire to sweep across his entire body.

His body was wrapped in raging flames, like a real fire dragon.

"Fire Dragon Torch!" Al roared, and a huge fire dragon rushed towards Kuzan and surrounded him.

Kuzan faced the blazing flames with an appreciative smile on his face.

"It looks pretty good. I don't have to hold back. Ice Age."

As he finished speaking, the temperature around him dropped sharply and a white cold mist filled the air.

The entire area instantly turned into a freezing winter, intertwined with Aiel's flames.

Flames and ice collided in the air, making a roar, and steam rose up, forming a spectacular picture.

El's fire dragon and Kuzan's ice power confronted each other, neither side was willing to give in.

Although Al used all his strength, Kuzan still looked relaxed, as if this battle was just a small test for him.

El's fire dragon form shone with a blazing light in the sunlight, however, Kuzan just smiled slightly and continued to release his endless frost power, gradually suppressing El's flames.

"What a monster newcomer. You've been at sea for only a short time, but you've already become so powerful. Al, I'm beginning to regret not letting you join the headquarters directly." There was a hint of admiration in Kuzan's voice.

"Actually, it's still not too late now. If you don't mind, just give me a base branch and I will take our crew to guard it." Al shouted in the air.

Kuzan shook his head, a helpless smile on his face, "There's nothing we can do now. Your status as a Shichibukai is approved by the World Government, and the Navy can't destroy this balance."

Seeing that his attack did not seem to cause any substantial damage to Kuzan, Al realized that it would be futile to continue.

He slowly landed on the ground, restored to his human form, raised his hands in surrender and said, "I admit defeat, General Qingzhi, my flames have no effect on you."

Kuzan also retracted his icy ability in time, and the temperature around him gradually returned to normal.

Kuzan clapped his hands, a satisfied smile on his face: "El, I just tested your fruit ability, now let me see your physical skills."

As soon as he finished speaking, he transformed into an ice spike and attacked El at an extremely fast speed.

El did not dare to be careless and concentrated on using his Observation Haki to sense Kuzan's movements.

Despite Kuzan's amazing speed, El was able to detect the opponent's intention thanks to the powerful Observation Haki he gained on Sky Island.

However, Al's body had not yet fully adapted to such a fast speed, so he had to use his paper drawing skills to dodge lightly.

His movements were as flexible and agile as a piece of thin paper fluttering in the wind.

Seeing El's skilled paper drawing skills, Kuzan smiled and nodded, then quickened his pace.

Al felt Kuzan's attack speed increase again, but he also noticed that the opponent's strength decreased slightly.

So, he used the Armament Haki and combined it with the Iron Block Technique to withstand Kuzan's ice spikes, and then fought back with the finger gun.

However, his attack did not achieve the desired effect. Kuzan used the power of the Nature Fruit to elementalize the area, causing El's domineering finger gun to hit the air.

The two fought for several rounds in the open space. After Kuzan gradually understood El's strength, he stopped the test.

"You are quite strong," Kuzan said. "Although you have a powerful devil fruit, you have not neglected your physical training. As long as you go to the New World to gain some experience, you will probably have the strength to be a candidate for the admiral."

El benefited a lot from this battle with Kuzan.

After he gradually digested the battle experience, he saluted solemnly and said, "Thank you for your guidance, General Qingzhi."

Kuzan smiled and waved his hand: "This little thing is nothing, it's mainly your own talent."

Then he turned to look at Luffy who was standing beside him.

"Monkey D. Luffy, I received a lot of care from your grandfather in the past!" Kuzan's tone was filled with nostalgia, "It's only been a few days since I became a pirate in the East China Sea, and I'm wanted with a bounty of 30 million. You really deserve to be the son of a general."

"What do you want to say?" Luffy asked in confusion, with a bit of vigilance in his eyes, "Did grandpa ask you to take me back?"

"That's not the case," Kuzan shook his head with a relaxed smile on his face, "Your grandfather didn't ask me to do such a thing. I just came here to relax today."

Usopp hid behind Sanji, carefully poked his head out and said, "Since you want to relax, we won't disturb you. Please continue to relax."

Kuzan glanced at everyone, with a hint of teasing in his eyes, "I was planning to do that, but just now when I was sleeping, I seemed to hear that uncle wanted to chase their villagers."

Al took over the conversation, "It's okay, General Qingzhi, we will send him to the island where their villagers are now."

"Then I'm relieved, Al. I hope you will be like this in the future and don't forget the justice of the navy." Kuzan looked at Al seriously, then looked at the navigation pointer in his hand, "My record is full, so I'll leave first. Goodbye, beautiful ladies."

After smiling and waving goodbye to Nami and the other girls, Kuzan picked up his coat beside him, put it on, rode his bicycle, and left Long Chain Island leisurely.

As his figure gradually faded away, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Meeting one of the world's top powers for the first time had kept them in a state of tension.

Nami carefully observed the navigation compass in her hand. The small compass was already full and pointed in the direction of the next island.

Al turned to Luffy and said with some suggestion in his tone, "Luffy, how about we help the uncle send him to the island where the other villagers are, and then head towards the Seven Water Capital?"

Hearing this, Luffy immediately smiled widely, raised his arms above his head, and said excitedly: "Great! Let's do this!"

Soon, with everyone's help, all of the uncle's luggage was placed on Luffy's ship.

When they sent the uncle to his tribesmen, the villagers hugged each other excitedly.

After sailing on the sea for three consecutive days, Nami stood on the observation deck and looked around.

Suddenly, she saw a lighthouse standing on the sea in the distance.

"Strange, how could there be a lighthouse in a place like this?" she said to herself, her heart full of doubts.

Nami picked up the flag in her hand and waved a signal to Usopp and the others to follow.

"There's a lighthouse over there, let's go take a look." Nami came down from the observation deck and said to everyone.

Tashigi and Vivi adjusted the direction of the ship according to Nami's instructions and headed towards the mysterious lighthouse.

As the ship got closer, everyone realized that it was not just an ordinary lighthouse.

It is also a station with a unique shape floating on the water.

Al was the first to jump onto the station and step onto the strange platform.

As soon as he landed, a little girl saw him and immediately ran back into the house screaming. Not long after, a stumbling grandmother came out of the room, still holding a bottle of wine in her hand, with a dazed look in her eyes.

"Are you train robbers?" asked the mother-in-law, with a hint of alarm in her voice.

Al smiled and replied, "No, mother-in-law, we just came across this lighthouse when we were sailing on the sea, so we came here to take a look."

"So that's how it is. I'm Kokoro, the stationmaster of this mobile offshore station. Where are you going?" Grandma Kokoro took a big sip of wine.

Al brought out the excuse he had prepared long ago, "We were commissioned by an old man at Upside Down Mountain to go to the Seven Waters City to help him pay tribute to his old friend Tom and build a new ship."

Kokoro took another sip of wine and said with a nostalgic tone: "There are many people named Tom in the Seven Waters. Just sail north and you will arrive soon."

"Thank you, Grandma Kokoro, what we are looking for is a murloc." Al added.

Kokoro's eyes suddenly lit up. "Is that so? I'll write you a letter. You take it to find a man named Aspagu. I believe he will help you."

After getting the letter of introduction from Granny Kokoro, Al asked Vivi to bring a box of wine, handed it to Granny Kokoro, and then sailed in the direction of the Seven Water City as she indicated.

On the way, Weiwei asked curiously, "Captain Al, I didn't expect you know someone in the Seven Waters?"

"That fishman uncle has been dead for more than ten years. We can only see two of his disciples this time. They should be the best shipbuilders in the world." Al replied.

"El, the uncle Upside-Down Mountain you mentioned, is he Uncle Kurokas? But he didn't entrust us with this matter?" Kaya asked curiously.

Seeing that he was exposed on the spot, Al touched his head embarrassedly and said, "I'm sorry, I borrowed Uncle Kulokas's name."

Following Granny Kokoro's instructions, they sailed for half a day and arrived at the City of Seven Waters.

When El and his companions finally arrived at the Water Seven City, he suddenly remembered the World Government undercover agent CP9 lurking here.

To ensure safety, Al found Robin and said, "Robin, there are many people from the World Government here. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, you should follow me these days."

Robin closed the book in his hand, looked up at Al, and smiled: "Then I'll leave it to you, Captain."

Under the guidance of the locals, they docked the ship at a port specially used by pirate ships.

After learning that the Seven Water City was holding a mask carnival, Nami and Nojiko went off the boat first to buy some masks and cloaks.

After disguising themselves, Al asked Zoro to look after them along with their ship, and took everyone to the gold exchange office to exchange the gold for berry.

A group of people came to a gold exchange called 'CASHINC'.

With the assistance of Nami and Robin, they successfully completed the exchange procedures and exchanged a total of 20 billion berries.

According to the previously negotiated terms, El took out 7 boxes containing million berries and handed them to Sanji and Chopper because Luffy and Usopp spent money too recklessly.

Of the remaining 1.3 billion berries, he took out 300 million as funds to purchase the treasure tree Adam and the expenses of Franky and others.

Then, he distributed 100 million berries as pocket money to each of the six girls, and gave the remaining 400 million to Nami for safekeeping.

With an unprecedented sum of money in hand, Al asked passers-by for the address of Franky's family.

Soon, they arrived at a peculiar-style building with a sign saying "Franky Shipbreaking Base".

"Is this Franky's territory?" Luffy looked around curiously, excitement flashing in his eyes.

On the way here, Al had already revealed to Luffy that Franky was one of the best shipbuilders in the world, which made Luffy very excited.

When Al took out one million berries as a meeting fee, Franky's brothers immediately gave them a high-level reception.

Led by their younger brothers, Al and Luffy carried five boxes and entered a separate meeting room with Franky.

"Franky, this is the letter of introduction that Granny Kokoro asked me to pass on to Aspagu," said El, "but he is surrounded by undercover agents of the World Government, so I came to you for help."
