One Piece: I Start with a Married Woman, I Am the Evil Admiral!

Chapter 371 Intimidating the Crowd

Seeing that General Aini was angry with Blue Killie, Don Achino immediately seized the opportunity to interject, "General Aini, please don't take it to heart!"

Although this young man is a few years older than you, how can he be compared to you?

Your rich experience, formidable strength, and supreme power and status are all things that a young man like him, fresh out of school, cannot comprehend. It's only natural for a greenhorn who has just left his family to be a little arrogant.

To be honest, that's precisely why I wanted to marry my daughter to him. So, please, for my sake, give him a chance to change his ways.

General Eni was slightly taken aback by Don Achino's words. He thought to himself, "Don Achino really knows how to talk!"

He first humbled himself greatly, then defended Blue Keeley, followed by self-praise, and finally clarified the relationship between the two, using his own face to plead for Blue Keeley.

These words were so persuasive and impeccable that it was hard to refuse.

After a moment's thought, General Aini realized that since Don Achino had already put things this way, it would be difficult to maintain a good relationship if he didn't give him face.

After all, he still needed to win over someone like Don Achino. Thinking this, Admiral Enni nodded and then withdrew his Conqueror's Haki.

As Admiral Enni withdrew his Conqueror's Haki, Blue Killie felt a sudden lightness in his body, as if the heavy burden on his shoulders had vanished without a trace.

He took a deep breath, feeling as if he had been brought back to life.

Just then, he felt as if he were being crushed by an invisible weight, completely losing the courage to even lift his head and meet Aini's gaze. However, Aini's gaze, like two cold arrows, once again fell directly on him.

Aini's lips curled slightly into a faint smile. This smile held neither mockery nor much goodwill, making his true thoughts difficult to discern. Then, in a calm yet undeniable tone, Aini said, "To be valued so highly by Don Achino, you must possess some strength and potential. For his sake, I will let this offense go for now."

Hearing this, he felt a sense of relief, and his tense nerves relaxed slightly. However, before he could even catch his breath, Aini's next words plunged him into an icy abyss.

“However,” Aini changed the subject, “please pass on a message to the Long-legged Clan for me. Our navy is currently conducting a global recruitment drive, and I very much hope that the Long-legged Clan will respond positively. Our navy needs the strength of the Long-legged Clan, and my subordinates are even more eager to have strong members of the Long-legged Clan join us.”

Aini's words were like a bombshell, causing a huge uproar among the crowd. Both Blue Killie and Don Achino showed expressions of shock. Clearly, neither of them had expected Aini to make such a request at this moment.

This is so unexpected!

However, after a brief moment of astonishment, their expressions were quite different. Don Achino remained calm, even showing a hint of interest; while Blue Killie's face turned somewhat ugly, clearly finding Aini's request very difficult.

After all, this is not just a matter for the entire navy; it could even be described as an alliance between the entire World Government and the Longleg Clan. Although there is some connection between their family and the Longleg Clan through marriage, this connection is not very strong.

After all, official matters should be handled officially, and private matters should be settled privately. Unless there is a complete break between the World Government, the Navy, and the Longleg Tribe, this marriage alliance will not be greatly affected. However, for Blue Killy, the situation is completely different. The pressure he faces can only be described as immense.

It's important to understand that the Long-legged Tribe is widely distributed, with many tribes scattered across various factions in addition to their own kingdom. This is why the Long-legged Tribe has consistently maintained neutrality.

Because if they were to represent the entire Longleg race in joining a particular power, the consequences would be unimaginable. This would not only bring annihilation to the Longleg race's people outside the kingdom, but could also trigger a series of chain reactions, profoundly impacting the entire world order.

At this moment, upon hearing what Aini said, Blue Kili felt a sense of foreboding. This was clearly an attempt to force the Longleg Tribe to take a stand in this conflict!

However, how could he make such a decision on his own? After all, it concerned the future and interests of the entire Long-legged tribe.

Blue Kiley felt a sudden dryness in his mouth and involuntarily made a "gurgling" sound in his throat.

He hesitated for a moment, then finally spoke cautiously, "Well... I'm afraid we'll have to go back to the clan and ask the clan leader for permission first."

Seeing this, Aini didn't make things too difficult for him, but simply nodded slightly to show her understanding.

"Okay, then go ask!" Aini's tone was quite casual, as if she didn't care much about the matter.

Upon seeing this, Blue Kiley breathed a sigh of relief and quickly replied, "Yes, I'll go ask right away. Once I have a reply, I'll have the Achino family send you the message immediately."

After saying that, he turned and left in a hurry, as if something terrible was chasing him.

After Blue Kiley left, everyone in the tavern turned their gazes in the direction he had gone, their eyes filled with envy.

After all, they eventually left this place. For most people, this is an extremely rare and difficult feat. After all, this isn't a place where you can come and go as you please.

At this moment, those people are probably filled with all sorts of complex emotions. They might be secretly lamenting that even if they wanted to leave, they simply don't have the courage or the guts.

However, just now, when they witnessed Blue Kiley barging in like a madman, everyone was almost brought to tears by his foolish behavior.

This is truly both laughable and frustrating!

These people are trapped here and can't escape no matter what they try, but Blue Kiley is doing the opposite. Instead of running out, he's rushing in. What's wrong with him?
