One Piece: Obtaining the Black Dragon King Fruit at the Start

Chapter 27: General "Aokiji"?

Usopp's worries subsided, and he carried Kaya upstairs to her room so she could rest a while.

After settling Kaya downstairs, Usopp returned to the ground and looked at the nearly stiff corpse lying on the floor. Helpless, he could only move Kro's body outside and dispose of it properly.

After Usopp had been working on it for a while, he returned to Kaya's house.

Upon discovering that Kaya had woken up, Usopp looked at her pale face and unfocused eyes and said worriedly, "Kaya, it's all over now, so don't be sad anymore."

Upon hearing Usopp's words, Kaya burst into tears, prompting Usopp to hurriedly comfort her.

With Usopp's constant comforting, Kaya stopped crying.

Usopp stayed with Kaya during this time.

……

Meanwhile, while Minos was still enjoying a pleasant voyage on his ship, an uninvited guest arrived in the town of Rogue.

A tall man with slightly curly hair, not very good-looking (＾v＾), riding a bicycle arrived in Loguetown.

That's right, he is none other than Admiral Aokiji.

At this moment, Aokiji arrived at the Loguetown naval base and sat in the seat that Smoker usually occupied before.

Aokiji looked sleepily at Smoker and Tashigi, who were bound by bandages.

Seeing Aokiji's appearance, Smoker was speechless. He hadn't expected headquarters to send this person.

Aokiji looked at Smoker and teased, "Oh my, isn't this our Navy's rising star, Smoker! It's only been a short time, how come you've gotten so sloppy?"

Smoker was completely helpless as he listened to Aokiji's teasing words.

It's fair to say that he's lost all his luster.

The entire ocean knew that he had been utterly humiliated by the Killer, which also damaged the reputation of the Navy.

The key point is that he was also helpless. Who knew that boy was so amazing!

In just a moment, he…

Forehead!

Gone.

Aokiji, seeing Smoker's face gradually darken, stopped joking and spoke seriously: "The invasion of Loguetown and your actions that damaged the Navy's reputation have greatly angered the higher-ups."

"I wasn't planning to come, but seeing Akainu's murderous look, I decided to come anyway."

Ah!

Smoker was shocked and surprised when he heard Aokiji's words.

He hadn't expected that even Admiral Akainu would be alarmed.

Thinking about Akainu's ruthless nature, Smoker couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Looking at Smoker, who seemed a little worried, Aokiji said slowly again, "Don't worry, he won't be coming back for now."

After hearing Aokiji's words, Smoker's worries gradually subsided.

Smoker still asked, "How do you plan to handle this matter?"

Upon hearing Smoker's words, Aokiji's thoughts involuntarily returned to what had happened in the Navy's conference room.

Let's go back to the Warring States period when the naval high command held a meeting.

Sengoku looked at the arriving navy personnel and said solemnly, "A major event has occurred in Loguetown in the East Blue today."

Ah!

When the naval personnel heard Fleet Admiral Sengoku say that something big had happened in the East China Sea, they were all puzzled. What big thing could happen in that wretched place like the East China Sea?

Sengoku looked around and saw that everyone in the navy looked incredulous, which made him feel helpless.

If this incident hadn't actually happened, he wouldn't have believed that anything major could happen in the East China Sea.

Sengoku could only slowly say, "Loguetown in the East Blue was invaded by pirates, but a boy with Conqueror's Haki and a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit appeared and slaughtered the entire pirate crew."

When Fleet Admiral Sengoku finished speaking, everyone in the navy was shocked.

Both the invasion of Loguetown and the boy with Conqueror's Haki and a Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruit shocked them greatly.

Since the navy became powerful, its influence in the four seas has been enormous. Even if there are minor skirmishes, no pirates would dare to invade.

It's truly shocking to hear that Loguetown has been invaded by pirates.

Moreover, if this gets out to the New World, other pirates will laugh at it, which will affect the Navy's reputation.

As for the boy who possesses Conqueror's Haki and a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit, he is indeed astonishing, but he has not yet reached the level of a Yonko.

What the Marines didn't know was that Minos's strength had become incredibly formidable. In a one-on-one fight, neither a Marine Admiral nor Sengoku could defeat Minos now.

……

Akainu, sitting nearby, overheard Sengoku talking about Loguetown and the boy. This made him frown deeply; clearly, this matter was seriously affecting his mood.

Just as the atmosphere among the Navy personnel was tense, Akainu finally spoke.

Akainu said in a low voice, "I remember the one stationed at the Loguetown naval base was a major named Smoker!"

"In other words, both the pirate invasion and the appearance of that boy are related to him."

"Where was he when the pirates invaded? And where was he when that boy slaughtered the pirates? Couldn't we consider him derelict in his duty?"

After Akainu said that, the atmosphere in the office became even more tense.

Since Smoker is closer to the doves, Akainu will naturally cause trouble now that this has happened.

The other vice admirals exchanged glances upon hearing Akainu's words, seemingly considering how to respond.

This incident in Loguetown could potentially spark a conflict between several factions.

Now, the big question is how to choose sides.

Akainu's words caused a great stir in the office, making the doves in the Navy look quite unhappy.

Especially Aokiji, who already had a bad relationship with Akainu. Their ideologies were completely different, which led to them being almost irreconcilable enemies.

Aokiji still vaguely remembers that during the Ohara incident, even though Akainu ordered the Buster Call, resulting in the massacre of all the scholars in Ohara, and even the evacuation ships were ordered to be destroyed.

When Aokiji saw that scene, he had a fierce argument with Akainu.

Even now, his relationship with Akainu can be described as that of "unfamiliar colleagues."

Now that Akainu is preparing to attack Smoker again, Smoker can no longer hold back.

Aokiji retorted sharply, "Admiral Akainu, I don't agree with what you said."

Smoker might be out hunting pirates! How can that be considered dereliction of duty!

"As for the boy's massacre of pirates, that should be considered a good thing! At least it didn't increase the casualties in Loguetown."

"Besides, this has little to do with Smoker!"

After Aokiji's sharp retort, the atmosphere in the office clearly made the other lieutenant generals feel even more uncomfortable.

However, there are two exceptions: Garp and Kizaru.
