Chapter 398 Porusalino: The Resurrection of the Pirate King? ! Aaron's Resurrection? !
"Roger, the Pirate King who conquered the Grand Line"—Minister Thain's puppet controlled by Lilith stopped abruptly before he could say the second half of the sentence.
The reason is very simple. The weapon Shanks carries with him, the famous sword "Griffin" that has experienced countless battles with him, is both strong and elegant. Its blade has stopped as if it moved instantly. Less than half a centimeter in the air from Minister Thain's throat.
Minister Thane showed no reaction at all. He seemed to be a top strong man with a big heart and was sure that Shanks would not take action completely, but he also seemed to be completely frightened.
But the real situation is that he is just a puppet, and Lilith, who controls him, has no reaction to Shanks' brazen attack.
——You know, although it is a theater version with a broken battle power, in "RED", Shanks split the eight-foot magatama at a speed that even Admiral Kizaru couldn't react, and smashed it. The knife was placed on his neck...
"Captain Roger is the man I respect most in my life. His death is also great enough to be recorded in history. So, whether you are serious or joking, Minister Thain... give me a face and don't let his name be mentioned again." Being in your mouth, especially being heard by me.”
Shanks stood up and stared at Minister Thain condescendingly. The seriousness on his face and the coldness in his tone fully demonstrated his attitude.
"Haha, relax, redhead..."
Lilith controlled Minister Thain, let out a chuckle, and then shrugged, "I'm not the kind of guy who doesn't know how to respect others, and of course I will give you face... Well, it's just out of good intentions."
"...Thank you for your kindness. I accept it."
Shanks neatly sheathed "Griffin", took a deep look at Minister Thane, and sat down in silence.
…
When Shanks returned to his companions from the second floor, his companions asked what the situation was.
"Could he..."
Ben Beckman asked as expected - as Shanks' most valued lieutenant, he is very clear about the story of Shanks and the Roger Pirates, coupled with the world's top minds, so he is almost When Minister Thain informed the world in newspapers, he immediately considered whether the miracle of "resurrection from the dead" would collide with the dead Pirate King Roger.
"Ah, he did mention this."
Shanks slumped in his chair with mixed emotions.
Of course he knew that Captain Roger's death was both fate and Roger's own choice; he also knew that in the era of great pirates and the entire world, it was best for Roger to be regarded as a dead legendary figure. Good thing……
But there is always a long distance between knowing and understanding and being able to accept it happily, just like the distance between longing and understanding these two emotions.
Despite Shanks' calm and decisive performance just now, does he really not want to see the Pirate King who is both the captain and his adoptive father? You know, when he got the news that Roger was going to be executed, his cry was no less than Bucky's.
Seeing Shanks like this, his companions rarely laughed with gloating, but instead stayed with him in silence.
"How about it?"
Ben Beckman asked.
Shanks knew that his vice-captain was asking about his thoughts on Minister Thain and the secrets he held. After thinking about it, he said meaningfully:
"I think there is a high probability that he is not our enemy."
The fat man Laki Lu, who had been only focusing on eating and drinking, asked casually without raising his head: "Do we have any enemies?"
Shanks was startled, then slapped the table and laughed, "Of course not!"
In the hearty laughter, it seemed that all the worries disappeared, but in fact, even Shanks was not willing to think more deeply at this time.
Even if he is not the Pirate King Roger, the ability to resurrect the dead can revive other troublesome dead, or give hope to some desperate people.
You can't think about such a problem, so let's have a drink first.
…
At night, on the "Moyu" sailing on the sea, the captain's cabin is brightly lit. Porusalino and Hawkeye, who are riding the boat, are enjoying the new style prepared by Sanji after studying the menu of Barati Restaurant. Late night snack - yes, turn on the stove.
A communications marine who was in charge of answering the phone in the command room gently knocked on the door:
"General Porusalino, Marshal of the Warring States Period, is calling!"
Porusalino curled his lips when he heard this and took the phone from the young sailor:
"Marshal, hasn't the matter been resolved? Do the Wulaoxing adults still want to see me? The navy admiral can't be on call 24 hours a day!"
That's right, the reason why the Five Old Stars urgently asked Porusalino to move at super high speed during the day and rush back to Mariejoia from the East China Sea within ten minutes was because of the meeting between Minister Thain and Shanks in the evening. .
Although the five old stars all believe that Shanks is sober and understands the overall situation, after all, he is the man who can sign an agreement with them, but if Shanks suddenly becomes ill and Roger is really resurrected by Minister Thane, then the whole world, especially It is the rule of the world government, and big problems are bound to arise...
So the Five Old Stars are planning to let Porusalino become the fire captain and kamikaze captain.
Porusalino wouldn't be so stupid - Lilith's control of Minister Thain's actions was completely under his instructions. Is he going to give up the leisurely life of the East China Sea and rush back to Mariejoia from the East China Sea, and then go there again? Will the New World stop his own plans? Isn’t this a disease?
And the most important thing is, these damn leaders only talk about deducting money, but they don’t even mention overtime pay!
Therefore, taking advantage of the poor network signal of the phone bug, Porusalino delayed it until night - the Five Old Stars had already received a call from Shanks and knew about his meeting with Minister Thain. situation, so the alarm was temporarily lifted and the vigilance was lowered.
The Warring States Marshal on the other side of the phone was extremely annoyed by his tone. As soon as he heard Porusalino's voice, he couldn't wait to shout on the other side of the phone:
"You bastard, you have the nerve to say that, Porusalino! The phone network signal is not very good? I think you are..."
Porusalino immediately took the phone bug a little further away:
"Moxi Mosi? Mosi Mosi? Oh, Marshal, I have a signal here..."
"Okay! Don't let me do this again! It's an emergency submitted by Kuzan. There is a group of fish-man pirates from Fish-Man Island who are about to come to the East China Sea via the Grand Line!"
The Warring States Marshal said seriously.
Porusalino glanced at Hawkeye, who was concentrating on destroying the fish in the bowl, so he smiled and said directly to the phone bug:
"The fish-man pirates from Fish-Man Island? Came to the East China Sea via the Grand Line? Hey, what's going on with that boy Kuzan? Is he working at the Mermaid Cafe again? That's great, I envy him."
"But having said that... come on, they are just a group of fish-man pirates, not the fish-man Fisher Tiger. Marshal Sengoku, although I usually fish a little, and when I encounter a battle, I let it go a little bit, but after all I am still Admiral, do you think a group of fish-men pirates need me to dispatch..."
"The leader of this group of fish-man pirates is a sawtooth shark man who calls himself Aaron! Why do you think Kuzan submitted a report about them? Why do you think I told you specifically?!"
The Warring States Marshal said angrily.
"Jagged Shark Man? Aaron?"
Porusalino was indeed a little surprised, but he didn't intend to continue saying anything to Marshal Warring States. After replying "I understand", he hung up the phone directly.
Seeing Porusalino hang up the phone, Hawkeye said expressionlessly:
"Have I, the Shichibukai, been eliminated by the times? Or does your navy have some confidential information that is not disclosed to the world? Can a group of pirates from Fishman Island be paid attention to by two navy admirals and a navy marshal at the same time?"
"Well, actually it's not just us, there are probably more big shots who are also paying attention."
Porusalino smiled.
As the most prominent villain of the East China Sea chapter in the original plot of One Piece, the leader of the Dragon Pirates, the fish-man pirate known as Aaron, was originally just a crew member on Fisher Tiger's ship. , was arrested and brought to justice by the navy. However, in the end, Jinbei, who was also his former shipmate and served as the "King Shichibukai", was let go on the condition of agreeing to join the World Government, and then ran to the East China Sea to do evil.
In the original timeline, the bounty of the fish-man Aaron was close to 20 million beli. He may not be a troublesome criminal in the Grand Line, but he is already a great pirate in the East China Sea. The navy and bounty of the East China Sea Hunters are basically no match for him. That's why Aaron and his Dragon Pirates were able to wreak havoc in the East China Sea for a long time. Nami's hometown, Cocoa West Village, was one of the most severely persecuted villages.
However, that was the original timeline. In the current timeline, Aaron had already been killed by Porusalino on Fish-Man Island, and then put a bite on his back to kill the CP0 minister. As a natural system The super-big black pot for those with water-water fruit abilities.
Although Porusalino only found out later that the Water Fruit he made up really existed and was obtained by Colonel Malvern. But no matter in his perception or in the perception of the top leaders of the world government, Aaron is already dead and can never die again.
But now, a group of pirates led by Aaron suddenly appeared on Fish-Man Island, and they also broke through the defense line of Kuzan's sailors against Fish-Man Island, even like in the original plot of One Piece , the goal is clear, pointing directly to the East China Sea.
So let alone Marshal Sengoku and others, even Porusalino had to doubt whether there really was any ability to resurrect the dead.
While Porusalino and Hawkeye were talking, the door was knocked open again, and Sanji walked in with a new late-night snack set.
"Ah, you came just in time, Sanji."
Porusalino waved and smiled brightly.
".What are you going to do, General Porusalino!"
Seeing this, Sanji quickly put down the food in his hands, took a cautious step back, and even hugged himself.
"Hey, what can I let you do?"
Porusalino was a little speechless by Sanji's reaction - he was not a bad person, nor was he a special Jie Ge.
"Take care of that nasty green algae head, change his bandage, give him"
"Ahem, that's not the case,"
Porusalino immediately waved his hand, interrupting Sanji's resentful thoughts, "I want you to contact Nami, Nokigao, their adoptive mother Bellmel and their adoptive father Aken. Ask their family if they want to go back to Donghai and see their former hometown."
"The cherry and orange trees in my hometown are growing very well!"
The real Aaron of Fishman Island was killed by Porusalino, there is no doubt about it - not even ashes were left.
As for the new Aaron and his men who have appeared now, no matter what the situation is, Porusalino thinks that Nami and others can get to know them.
Just like Robin who was persecuted by CP9 in the plot, Porusalino made her the leader of CP9 now; Nami and others who were harmed by Aaron and his gang in the plot, Porusalino thought they could now The strong and weak positions of both parties are exchanged. This is a unique fun that he, the only traveler in the pirate world, can experience.
