OPI Chapter 44: Who is the best swordsman in the Navy?
🕑 Added 2023-11-01 03:44:00 +0000 UTCSoutheast of the civilian area of Fish-man Island, on the outskirts of the port town called Coral Hill.
At this time, the lighting of the Sunlight Tree Eve was still bright, but there was a cold wind here, and the ground was covered with ice. Only about twenty humans could be seen hugging their frost-covered bodies, shivering together. Under the supervision of the navy, he quickly walked towards the warship in the distance.
This group of pirates has heard that hot water will be provided in the warship, so they can't wait to go to the cell.
As for resistance, the thought of struggle has long since disappeared.
Are you kidding? He is a candidate for Navy Admiral and is also a Logia-type Devil Fruit user. They can only blame themselves for being unlucky, right?
On the other side, Kuzan was talking to three female mermaids. Strictly speaking, they were two young mermaids and a mermaid girl.
“Human brother, thank you very much for saving us, but you made it so cold here. Are these crystal-like things ice?”
The little black-haired girl, who looked to be only four or five years old, asked excitedly with her gums trembling. At the same time, she squeezed her small body into her sister's majestic breasts, trying to find more warmth.
“Ah la la la~ Is this your first-time seeing ice? By the way, my name is Kuzan, what is your name?” Kuzan showed a cheerful smile.
Just now, he rescued the three mermaids in front of him from the pirates. Such a righteous act made him feel very happy, which made him feel the blood in his body heating up.
“My name is Shyarly!”
“This is Sister Emily and Sister Ewinnie. How are they? They are very beautiful. Let’s see if you can date them, big human brother.”
The truth is that this little girl was very lively. She introduced her before the two sisters. She looked up at Kuzan naughtily and smiled mischievously.
At the same time, she secretly complained in her heart. Isn't this big brother a human? Why is he so tall? He is much taller than many Fish-man brothers, much, much taller!
“Hey, Shyarly-chan, don’t talk nonsense!” The mermaid sister who was holding Shyarly was blushing, and at the same time she quietly looked at Kuzan’s appearance.
He is tall, strong and powerful, and he seems to be a high-ranking officer in the navy. His personality seems to be good, cheerful and gentle.
“Vice Admiral Kuzan!”
At this moment, a marine ran over and said urgently: "Vice Admiral, the construction team of the Mermaid Cove was attacked by a group of Fish-men thugs."
"Huh?" Kuzan raised his eyebrows, turned around and asked: "Is anyone injured? How many Fish-men? I remember that Officer Hodgson is in charge there."
“Thirteen workers were injured, ten of them were slightly injured, and three were seriously injured and fell into coma. Two excavators were damaged. There was a total of eight Fish-man thugs, apparently belonging to Arlong's group, who were captured by Officer Hodgson."
The marine was a little out of breath after speaking a long series of words. After a pause, he continued.
"Officer Hodgson sent word that the Minister of the Left of Ryugu Palace has brought people, saying that he hopes they will hand over Arlong and his gang to the Ammo Knights for safekeeping, so he hopes you can go take care of that."
Kuzan nodded and signaled the other party to return to the team. At the same time, he prepared to say goodbye to the three mermaids.
But before he could say anything, Shyarly, who was buried between her sister's breasts, asked nervously: "Brother Kuzan, can I go over with you to have a look?"
"Why?"
Kuzan looked at the other person in confusion.
"That Arlong seems to be my brother, but I heard from others that he was abandoned by his parents in the orphanage on Fish-man District a long time ago. I... I want to see what he looks like." Shyarly said weakly.
When Kuzan heard what was going on, he thought about it and said: "Okay, but let's make it clear first that no matter what happens to him, you can't stop him."
“Okay, okay!”
Shyarly nodded repeatedly. She was just curious about this brother she had never met before. As for her feelings, there was no way to talk about them.
“Okay, let’s go.”
About twenty minutes later, the warship came to the World Government ship docked in the Mermaid Cove again. Kuzan came down with a large group of marines and three mermaids.
“Vice Admiral Kuzan!”
Officer Hodgson has been waiting for a long time, and beside him are Minister of the Left, Jimbei, Aladine and other soldiers of the Ammo Knights.
Kuzan glanced at the scene, especially Arlong's group, which was tightly entangled with special steel ropes. Their faces still showed shock, as if they still couldn't believe that the human navy would So strong.
"Vice Admiral Kuzan, I'm really sorry that such a vicious incident happened. This is our fault on Fish-Man Island. I have already notified the doctor to come, and I will do my best to treat the injured workers!"
The Minister of the Left approached with no intention of hiding the truth and felt extremely sorry. He should have sent some Ammo Knights to protect them.
They just thought that since the navy was responsible for guarding, nothing would happen, and the merfolk and fish-men in their country were actually quite gentle, but they ignored the existence of Fish-man District and Arlong's group.
Think about it, how can the high-ranking officials and nobles of a country pay attention to a few gangsters at the bottom?
“Thank you very much. As for this matter, you don’t have to blame yourself. In the final analysis, it is my subordinates’ dereliction of duty. As for the treatment of Arlong and his gang...”
Kuzan pondered for a moment. During this process, several people present were waiting for his decision.
At the same time, Shyarly looked curiously at Arlong, who looked defeated, curled his lips inwardly, and said to herself: 'What, he's not handsome at all!'
She was a little disappointed. After all, the other person was also her biological brother, so she still hoped for a better image. Now it seemed that he was just a ruffian who only made trouble. No wonder his parents didn't want him.
"In this way, this time I will make the decision to hand over Arlong and his gang to the Ammo Knights."
At this time, Kuzan spoke, and the Minister of the Left looked happy. He was about to thank him when he heard the former continue.
“But it’s just this once. If there are Fish-men maliciously attacking Navy or World Government personnel next time, we will send them to Enies Lobby for trial. I hope you can convey this to King Neptune.”
Minister of the Left is probably one of the few people on Fish-Man Island who knows the World Government very well. He knew what it meant for someone to be sent to Enies Lobby for trial.
Impel Down!
This shocked him. What a terrifying place it was. He had heard of it. It was said to be a hell on earth.
“Yes, yes, yes, I will tell Your Majesty, and try our best to prevent this kind of incident from happening again. Next, our Ammo Knights will also be responsible for security. Vice Admiral Kuzan, you can be sure!”
Kuzan was very satisfied with the good attitude of Minister of the Left. He ordered Officer Hodgson to closer and said: "Leave Arlong and his group with the Ammo Knights."
"Yes, Vice Admiral Kuzan!" Naturally, the officer had no objections, turned around, dealt with the matter, and handed over the people.
Kuzan looked at Jimbei and Aladine and asked with a smile: "Are these two the Fish-men appointed by Fleet Admiral Kong himself?"
He had read the relevant information before coming here, and he was very supportive of the formation of the Fish-man force. The speed and strength of the Fish-men in the water were indeed impressive, but he had no interest in Fish-man karate at all.
"Yes, I am Jimbei. It is an honor to meet you Vice Admiral Kuzan." Jimbei behaved very steadily and appropriately, and his eyes were very calm, which gave Kuzan a good first impression.
“I am Aladine, and I am very interested in human swordsmanship. I wonder who the strongest swordsman in the Navy Headquarters is?” Aladine asked curiously.
“Swordsmanship?”
Kuzan was puzzled and thought for a moment. 'As for swordsmanship, I remember that Sakazuki practiced it for a while before, and then stopped using it. Now, it should be Borsalino, right?'
Other than that, he really can’t tell who is the top swordsman in the Navy Headquarters, although he occasionally likes to use a sword.
