Arceus' Pirate Journey

Soon, a strange sound was heard outside the laboratory, and at this moment, a card in Hawkins' hand fell to the ground.

"Sure enough, some things can't be avoided."

Picking up his tarot cards, Hawkins gently wiped off the dust on them. Looking at the pattern on the cards, Hawkins looked in the direction of Quinn, and there seemed to be some sympathy in his dead fish eyes.

It is rare to find someone with such a rough fate.

......

"Ala, is this common? No one around me reacted."

Kuzan was dressed like a young man on vacation, with sunglasses on his forehead, a sun hat on his head, and a parasol on his shoulders. The camel behind him was holding two large folding chairs and carrying a huge picnic backpack on its back.

The noise caused by Kaido and Quinn was quite loud. Even from a distance, one could see the smoke and dust. However, the residents around him acted as if they saw nothing and continued their daily lives.

The only impact was that a little girl lost her grip on the blue bird balloon in her hand, but before her tears fell, Kuzan used his height advantage to take the balloon down and helped tie a slipknot on her wrist.

"You probably appear once every few months, but... it's a surprise to see you here, Admiral Aokiji."

A voice of answer came from behind Kuzan, but it was not very respectful.

"That's all in the past. Now you're just a former admiral at best, but aren't you one too? Members of the World Government's CP9 have also defected here. This place is really a hodgepodge."

It was Foz F who answered Kuzan's question. CP9's attitude towards the navy has always been like this. To them, the navy is just a subordinate force of the World Government. Even though the admirals of the navy represent the highest combat power of the navy, they do not have the right to directly command them.

Strength will make them curb their arrogant attitude, but they will not be very respectful. If they carry the orders of the World Government, their attitude will be even more arrogant.

But things are different now. Both CP9 and the Navy Admirals are things of the past.

They were in Wano Country, the heartland controlled by all beasts, and their past identities had become history. Foz F had even become Kuzan's predecessor.

However, Foz F had been out on a mission, and this was the first time he had met Kuzan in person.

Chapter 1140: The Pirate Kingdom That Doesn’t Look Like a Pirate Territory at All

Seeing Kuzan also appear here, Foz Fur himself was very conflicted.

The reason why he joined the pirates was simple. In order to save his life, the World Government would not tolerate him, so he joined the hostile forces.

If that incident hadn't happened, he might have been promoted to CP0.

The World Government is the official power. For most people, serving the World Government or working for the World Government is much better than being a pirate.

Now even the admiral has made the same choice as himself, which indirectly proves that there is nothing wrong with his decision.

But this was not good news for him. Originally, he was very special, and he was the only one who understood the systematic training method from the World Government. However, the appearance of Kuzan made this limitation disappear.

Foz F didn't know whether Kuzan was a special talent like an undercover agent or whether he had received special training, but Kuzan also knew the Six Styles.

Of course, as time went by, the number of people who learned the Six Styles gradually increased, and the systematic teaching method was retained, the importance of Foz Fur itself declined slightly.

But having an extra person who masters the Six Styles is not a good thing for him.

As for Drake...his presence in the Beasts is very low now, Foz F has very little impression of him, and what a major general knows is completely different from what a general knows.

People are good at different types of things. A major general may not have studied the six styles in depth. Human energy is limited, and if they practice everything and are too average, they will achieve nothing.

As for the hexagonal warriors... they are all geniuses and monsters. The three admirals are this kind of monsters. They don't use it, but it doesn't mean they don't know how to use it. They all learned it systematically in the navy training camp, but these moves lost their meaning as they grew up.

When Akainu first joined the navy, he was used to using a knife, but as he became an admiral under the code name Akainu, he abandoned his old weapon and magma became his most powerful weapon.

Even if someone like Kuzan joined the Beasts, he would not be able to steal his job. It would only weaken the uniqueness of Foz F.

Foz F, who came from the World Government's secret service department, was used to intrigue and intrigue, and instinctively began to think about this kind of thing. It's not that there are no conflicts among the beasts, but here they usually just use their fists. If they see someone they're unhappy with, they just say it and then go out and fight and that's it.

The biggest conspiracy... is probably the mutual calculation between Yamato and Quinn. They are like water ghosts trying to drag each other into the water. Judging from the recent battle results, Yamato has a slight victory. She is temporarily hiding in a place where Kaido can't enter.

If Kaido is pushed to the limit, he might even resort to forced demolition, but until he reaches his limit, Kaido will not set foot there.

"Come to think of it... Feimo, right? I've heard of your name before."

"It's really not easy to make the former general remember my name. Should I feel honored?"

Foz F stood with his weapon at the side, using it as a cane. In order to prevent the scabbard from falling off inexplicably when walking, the handle guard of his sword was even wider.

This is a problem of weapon proportions. His short dagger must be paired with a long sword. If this uncoordinated size is not adjusted accordingly, the scabbard will swing up and down like a tumbler.

"By the way, where did you hear this from General Aokiji? Can you satisfy my curiosity? A bounty?"

"Ah, don't call me by that code name now. As for where, it's better if you don't know."

"Why, you don't want to be a general anymore, do you still have something to keep secret?"

Foz F still attaches great importance to reputation and has never liked being compared with Rob Lucci.

He also wanted to know what the other side's reaction was after he defected. If Kuzan just happened to see the bounty order, that would be meaningless.

"That's not the case. I remember two times. One was when you escaped from prison, and the other was when Rob Lucci was declared dead. It was only a few years ago, not long ago."

Under Foz F's insistence, Kuzan gave the answer. It was extremely rare for CP9 to defect. The World Government's brainwashing skills were excellent. Over the years, only Foz F was forced into a situation where he had no other choice.

Therefore, the navy also received orders from the World Government at that time to kill the traitor Foz-Fo. If it weren't for the fact that Foz-Fo had a strong backer and the cost of eliminating him was too high, and the World Government felt it was not worth it, Foz-Fo would have been silenced long ago.

Because it was rare, Kuzan retained some impression of it, and after hearing this answer, Foz F also fell into an autistic state. In the end, he was still a comparison object.

"It's okay...at least that guy is dead..."

Foz Fer muttered to himself, as if trying to hypnotize himself.

"I told you that you wouldn't want to hear it, but you forced me to say it."

Kuzan spread his hands, then found a flat place to put down the parasol. The camel behind him also spread out the folding chair, and the man and the penguin started their picnic.

"Would you like to join me? I just happen to have something I want to talk to you about."

As he spoke, Kuzan made a lounge chair out of ice and extended an invitation to Foz F.

Foz F did not reject Kuzan's invitation. There was a huge gap in strength between them. Even though Kuzan had just joined and did not hold any position, Foz F knew very well that if Kuzan sincerely joined here, he would soon surpass himself.

This is also the rule of the beasts. Strength is the only thing that matters. As long as the members who can join them meet the requirements, many things will come naturally.

There is no seniority system, and no need to give favors or gifts. At most, you have to exchange a few moves with Kaido, and your specific status will be determined by how many blows you can catch or how fast you recover after being hit.

It is difficult in itself to avoid being killed instantly by Kaido.

Foz F did not sit on the ice chair. Kuzan's ability could ensure that the ice would not melt, but it was not comfortable to sit on it, and Foz F was not a user with ice-attribute abilities.

So he just sat on the ground nearby, wanting to listen to what the former general had to say, and also took the opportunity to watch a strange acrobatic performance.

"Too~"

The camel flapped its wings, and the ice chair made by Kuzan was split into two. The part that was in contact with the ground was directly thrown away, and the upper part turned into shaved ice under the high-speed flapping of the wings.

After arriving at Ghost Island, Camel's skill points seemed to have been invested in the kitchen.

It has now mastered the cutting of sashimi and the making of shaved ice, but due to the limitations of its body structure, it is only interested in some cold dishes that require knife skills or are very simple.

Looking at the shaved ice and the different sauces arranged in front of him, Foz F was becoming more and more confused about Kuzan.

"CIPHER POL and the Navy are two different departments, but...is your life in the Navy so leisurely? My superior at that time was a useless person who just sat there doing nothing. I don't think his leisure life was comparable to yours."

Kuzan's movements were so skillful that Emperor Nabo's speed in making shaved ice could be ignored, but Kuzan was like a big salary thief.

"Not entirely. At least it's much easier now than before. Being a Navy Admiral is not an easy job. If I must say, being a Vice Admiral is a little easier."

Kuzan and Kizaru are much more leisurely than Akainu, but they still have regular missions. In addition to capturing pirates, Kuzan's biggest annoyance is garrisoning in Marijoa.

There were rarely any major events there, but the sight of the Celestial Dragons made him feel sick.

Compared to admirals who have to undertake certain tasks, vice admirals have more freedom, especially people like Garp who are super powerful and have a strong aura effect.

Kuzan always felt that his life at this moment was the same as Garp's life back then. Now he finally experienced this leisurely feeling.

The safety level of Wano Country is no different from that of Marinford. Normal people can't reach such a place at all.

The powerful military force provides protection, the residents of the island live in peace, the peaceful streets make people relax, and there are no disgusting world nobles.

"I don't understand your navy life, so Mr. Kuzan, you called me over here, aren't you just going to treat me to shaved ice?"

The ice made by the devil fruit tastes no different from ordinary ice. They are all formed by freezing water. The air quality in Wano Country is pretty good. As long as you don't look for toxic gases before the double-bomb gas filter, it will be clean.

Pure ice cubes plus tree fruit juice is one of the specialties of Wano Country. If conditions are better, you can also add milk from a big milk can and honey from three bees. After garnishing it with cream from Frosty Milk Fairy, it is also a high-end ingredient in Wano Country.

If it were to be taken to the outside world, it would be an even rarer special product. Tai Zuoluo has mastered the hunger marketing trick.

"Nothing special, I just want to ask you what you think of this country."

"Evaluation? I've been on many missions before, and have been to countless countries. Whether in an official capacity or in disguise, I've never seen an environment like this.

I've been to Marijoa, and even there it was nothing compared to this.

If I must say, everything here is good, except that it is not like a country ruled by pirates, there are many different things outside the world..."

It's not just Wano Country. The four emperors' former bases or hometowns all had good lives. Wano Country can be said to be the pinnacle of people's livelihood. On Whitebeard's Sphinx Island, ordinary people also live a very ordinary life.

They are not rich, but they live in peace. Not to mention Elbaf, where Red Hair often stays. The world's number one superpower is no joke. Only the price of life that Cake Island charges is slightly higher.

But compared with the chaotic waters in the open sea, the happiness index of Cake Island is about to soar. As long as Charlotte Linling doesn't go crazy, everything will be fine.

"It doesn't look like a country ruled by pirates... That's a fair assessment. The king here is Kozuki, right? These royal families don't seem to have much presence."

"The royal family here? Indeed... Mr. Kuzan, I think I saw someone you know."

"acquaintance?"

"Yeah, his presence is so low that I didn't even think of him just now. He should be considered a celebrity, after all, he is the 'Fallen Rear Admiral'."

Fuzzy F raised his hand and pointed aside.

Not far away, Drake, who had finally followed Jack's ship back to the main island, was looking in the direction of Kuzan. From his movements and expression, it was not difficult to see that he seemed to have been shocked to some extent.

Hearing rumors and seeing it with your own eyes are two different things. When Drake saw Admiral Hara leisurely basking in the sun and eating shaved ice in the pirates' territory, his inner beliefs were shaken.

Chapter 1141 Alternative Core and Weather Forecast

"Hey, Chiqi, what are you staring at?"

"It's normal for this kid to be dazed. This is his first time here, right? Last time, he seemed to be thrown directly into the rabbit bowl, and he persisted for a long time before giving in. He's quite stubborn."

"Really? I just lasted three days. I left Chiqi and finally came back. Let's go relax. I know a shop that serves delicious yakitori."

"You ate more than 700 skewers by yourself last time. The boss was exhausted, okay? I'm afraid he would close the shop immediately after seeing you."

"Hahahaha, it's his fault that his skewers are so small. Besides, he was obviously very happy when he was counting the money. There's no way he would close the door."

Under Jack's leadership, he has a group of skilled warriors under his command. They are either fighting or recuperating from injuries, and basically have no free time.

As long as you want, there will always be battles on this sea.

The ordinary pirates were chatting and discussing where to go for a drink, and after a while they noticed that Drake was still in a daze.

"What are you looking at, kid...Oh, it's Kuzan, no wonder, you were both in the navy before, you must be meeting an old acquaintance."

"Gone, gone. It has nothing to do with you. Even if you knew each other well in the navy, you can't just change your boss."

Senior cadres can choose subordinates they like. If the subordinate belongs to someone else, they can discuss transferring him over. But it is different for those who already have a boss.

If they take the initiative to request a change of boss, it would be a slap in the face to the current boss.

Do you look down on me?

No?

Isn't that why you want to change?

Therefore, this kind of thing is simply unrealistic. Even if someone takes the initiative to propose it, other cadres may not necessarily accept this person.

The person sent out as an undercover agent may not be strong in physical strength, but he must be strong inside and be able to withstand torture and resist sugar-coated bullets. If the undercover agent defected, it would be a big trouble.

Drake's heart can be said to be very firm, but even he would feel something was wrong after seeing Kuzan.

He already has an undercover agent here, so if he sends another one, he should at least notify him.

What's more, if you plan to let Kuzan be an undercover agent, what are you doing with him?

I suffered a lot just to get in, and Kuzan's vacation look is so different from mine.

Drake adjusted his state quickly. It can be said that he was too shocked and lost consciousness at the first moment. It would be unreasonable if he didn't recover.

The situation was unclear, so he did not communicate with Kuzan, but just followed the other pirates and left. A new worry arose in Drake's heart.

Whether Kuzan knew that he was a member of SWORD, whether he had truly joined the Beasts, and whether his identity would be exposed, all these things put tremendous pressure on him.

Drake can only gamble and witness this over time.
