"I hope you can understand this."

"Ah la la————"

"Don't worry, I've already decided to join your Straw Hat Pirates, and I'm prepared for that, so you don't need to worry about it."

Aokiji said very seriously.

But actually, he wasn't too worried.

Although Bai Luo is only the vice-captain of the Straw Hat Pirates, he holds a very high position within the crew.

In some ways, he is even much taller than Luffy.

So now that Bai Luo has agreed, the matter is basically settled.

"Hahahaha... But you don't need to worry too much, Luffy likes you quite a bit."

He will most likely agree.

Bai Luo believed he had a pretty good grasp of Luffy's character.

"So now, let's raise a glass to celebrate your joining us!"

Bai Luo and Qingzhi simultaneously raised their wine glasses and clinked them together.

boom---

A very crisp sound rang out, echoing continuously in this silent space.

Time passes day by day.

Three days have passed in the blink of an eye.

Thanks to the efforts of all the samurai, Wano Country has regained its former vitality.

Hiyori Kozuki became the shogun of Wano Country.

She was also the first female general in the history of Wano Country.

As for the others, they were also assigned to their respective positions.

Everything was proceeding according to plan.

And at this time.

Inside a certain room.

“Nani???”

"Bai Luo, what did you just say??"

"Aokiji wants to join our pirate crew??"

"Did I hear that right??"

"Former Admiral Aokiji is going to join us? Become one of us??"

Usopp was dumbfounded.

Do not!

It wasn't just Usopp who was confused.

Everyone was stunned.

They all stared in disbelief at the figure standing next to Bai Luo.

The figure in question was none other than Aokiji.

Nami blinked, equally incredulous.

He kept swallowing his saliva.

"Bai Luo, you just said he wants to join us??"

Bai Luo nodded with a light laugh;

"Hahahaha... You heard right, it's true, he's going to join our Straw Hat Pirates."

"This...how is this possible?! Isn't he a Marine Admiral? Why would he join us?"

Nami was truly bewildered at this point.

"Hehehehehe... Honestly, do you have some other ideas?"

Chopper, standing to the side, spoke very softly because he didn't dare to speak loudly.

He was afraid that Aokiji wanted to join them for ulterior motives.

After all, this guy's past identity was really too sensitive.

They had to be careful.

“Ah la la—”

"Don't be so nervous. I retired from the Navy a long time ago, and the title of Admiral has nothing to do with me now."

"Now that I'm no longer a Marine Admiral, there shouldn't be any problem with me choosing a lineup to join, right?"

That sounds like it makes perfect sense.

However, some people are still not entirely at ease.

"Hehehehehehe, what you said makes a lot of sense, but why do I always have this ominous feeling?"

"Exactly, exactly. I'm a little uneasy about not saying it."

Franky nodded in agreement.

What if Aokiji is a spy planted by the Navy, keeping track of their every move?

Wait until the most crucial moment to betray them.

If something like that really happens, who can they complain to?

Hehehehehe!!

At that point, they'll be worse off than swallowing a bitter pill in silence, unable to express their suffering.

"Yohohohoho... It might be a little impolite to say it like that, but I think what my friends said is really good!!"

Brook chuckled softly and slowly drew the Soul-Slaying Sword!

"No matter what, you were once a Marine Admiral who upheld justice. Why did you join the Straw Hat Pirates at this time? Lord Aokiji, I really have some doubts about your motives."

The Straw Hat Pirates members then expressed their respective views and opinions.

Although Jinbe and Zoro did not speak, the wariness and fear in their eyes showed their attitude.

Clearly, they shared the same idea as everyone else.

At this moment, all the other members, except Luffy, have expressed their opinions.

"Hahahahahaha..."

However, Aokiji's reaction to this was rather casual.

“I understand your vigilance, but think about it carefully. If I really wanted to do something to you, I would have plenty of opportunities.”

"But what was the result?"

"The fact is that I did nothing to harm your pirate crew's profits."

"Besides, since I'm joining you, I'm definitely doing so with sincerity."

"Hehehehehe... Although most of you don't believe me and doubt my motives, I think there's one person who definitely knows how sincere my attitude is, don't you agree? Bow?"

"Robin!"

Aokiji turned his gaze to Robin.

Robin hesitated for a moment before speaking slowly.

"Based on my understanding of you, you are indeed sincere."

"However, there is one thing you cannot deny: your former status as a naval admiral is really too sensitive."

Chapter 1198 The Shy Kaya Sisters

 "Hehehehehehe... In any case, your identity is indeed very sensitive."

Robin shook his head.

He had to consider his partners.

If Aokiji really has ulterior motives for joining the Straw Hat Pirates, then they will all be killed.

Robin looked directly into Aokiji's eyes and spoke very seriously.

"Ah la la————"

"is that so?".

Aokiji was not surprised by Robin's words.

However, if that's really the case, then...

So the final decision still rests with the captain?

"Luffy, what do you think about this?"

Finally, Aokiji turned his gaze to Luffy, who could play a decisive role.

After all, he is the captain of the Straw Hat Pirates.

Everyone else's words were just suggestions; it was his words that were decisive.

If he allows himself to stay, then he can naturally stay with the Straw Hat Pirates.

But I just don't know what this guy is thinking.

As for Luffy, he was still nonchalantly eating meat.

It was as if none of this had anything to do with him.

It's really speechless.

After eating the last piece of mutton in (acfb)'s hand, Luffy slowly raised his head and looked at Aokiji.

"Hehehehehehehe...Do you really want to join the Straw Hat Pirates?"

"Hahahaha....That's right."

Qingzhi nodded.

"Bai Luo, are you aware of this?"

"Know!"

Luffy nodded again.

"Hahaha, since that's the case, I agree. Welcome to the Straw Hat Pirates."

It has to be said that this hasty and simple approach does indeed fit Luffy's character.

Of course, it's also because Luffy trusts Bai Luo, since Bai Luo has already agreed.

He really didn't have any objections.

Everyone gave Luffy a speechless look.

Is such a serious matter being handled so carelessly?

Oh well, they're used to it anyway.

Since Bai Luo had already passed the test, they still trusted him.

"Hehehehehehe... Now that we've made up our minds, let's prepare for the banquet!!"

Today, besides Aokiji joining...

There is another person.

That was Ushimaru from the Ryōgo region of Wano Country.

Bai Luo had made a promise with him back then.
