Chapter 36: Days of Travelling with an Admiral
"Hiss, it's so cold!"
Vlad rubbed his arms, which were covered in goosebumps. He exhaled a breath of cold air and said in surprise, "Is this power of the Ice Ice Fruit? Really,"
"It's so terrifying!"
"Even if you look at the entire great trade route, it is still a rare existence!"
The huge merchant ship slowly advanced on the surface of the sea. Not far away, the sea was no longer the sea. The vast expanse of whiteness had completely replaced the blue sea. It was a huge ice field that spread to who knows where.
On the ice field, a huge pirate ship was extremely eye-catching. It had been completely frozen into ice, without any signs of life. It was silent, just like the ice field it was in. Only the whistling cold wind occasionally blew.
This was undoubtedly the masterpiece of Aokiji. Just a moment ago, Vlad saw the monster of the Admiral level with his own eyes. He just gently stretched out his hand, and as a slender icicle pierced into the sea, a terrible change appeared in an instant.
The originally sparkling sea was instantly frozen. The white sea of ice quickly began to spread into the distance. The pirate ship that appeared suddenly, even its name had not been reported, was completely reported by the terrible cold in an instant. Without even a chance to shout for help, the trash fish that had not even shown their faces had already lost their lives.
This was the strength of the Admiral level, extremely terrifying. For ordinary pirates, even the pirates of the new world, they had overwhelming strength.
It was hard to imagine what kind of expert could defeat Aokiji in the sea. His ability had surpassed the sea, the curse of the devil fruit had been overcome by him, his strength was beyond doubt.
What was even more difficult for Vlad to imagine was how Akainu defeated Aokiji after three years. As everyone knew, three years later, the two fought for the position of Fleet Admiral for a full ten days and ten nights. Two monster-like guys fought a life and death battle in Punk Hazard Island.
At the end of the battle, the terrain of the island had been completely changed. This was a result that was even more amazing than the awakening of the Devil Fruit. Half of the flame and half of the glacier, Punk Hazard Island was the proof of the combat strength of these two monsters.
The result was that Akainu won, he became the new Fleet Admiral of the Marine and walked on the path of the winner in life. Aokiji's limb was broken and he left the Marine. He took a penguin and began to sell ice in the new world. In the end, he even join Blackbeard. It was really miserable.
Maybe it was because his fruit was a bad matchup with Akainu, Vlad could only think this way. The strength of the three Admirals was almost the same. The reason why Akainu was able to defeat Aokiji was because of the magma fruit. But in any case, Akainu won without a doubt. He was the only man in the world who had the ability to defeat an Admiral.
"Tsk tsk!"
With this in mind, Vlad couldn't help but look at Aokiji with pity. Sure enough, it was because he didn't cross his legs during the war and didn't step on his white beard that he was broken by Akainu?
"Aiya!"
Aokiji was lying on the chair, the blindfold covered his eyes, he didn't see Vlad's expression, "Brother, what you said just now really made me shiver!"
The captain of this ship naturally didn't have any objections to Aokiji getting on the ship, he also didn't dare to have any objections. After Aokiji got on the ship, he had been basking in the sun with Vlad on the deck.
"Where?" Vlad was also lying on a chair. One of them was an Admiral, and the other was a rare powerhouse on the sea. He was leisurely lying on the deck, basking in the sun. He looked very relaxed. "Mr. Kuzan's strength is really terrifying! He is really worthy of being a rare powerhouse on the sea!"
"Hiss!"
Aokiji felt that something was wrong.
But he didn't know what was wrong. "I always feel that this is not a good thing!"
"Hahahaha!"
Vlad laughed and didn't answer. He couldn't say that this was a classic line of a potato.
"Little brother, you want to go to the first half of the Grandline, right?"
Vlad didn't speak, but Aokiji opened his mouth first. He was really curious about Vlad. This man's strength was not simple, but it was actually nothing. There were crouching tigers and hidden dragons in the sea, maybe there were a few monster-level masters there, such as Fujitora and Ryokugyu. Aokiji was just curious. After all, this man was very strange about his attitude.
"That's right,"
Vlad's eyes casually fell on his maid who was working hard. He replied, "The new world is too chaotic. I want to go to the Paradise and stay there for a while!"
"Is that so?"
Aokiji was lying on the chair with an eye patch on his face. If he wasn't talking, Vlad would have thought that he had fallen asleep. This man had completely carried out his lazy justice. "So, little brother, are you interested?"
"Interest?"
"What does Mr. Kuzan mean?" Vlad raised his eyebrows.
"I just want to ask you if you are interested in joining the Marine!"
Aokiji's voice was lazy, there was no energy in it, "The benefits of the Marine are still good, there is no need to mention the salary and bounties you get from defeating pirates, how about it? Little brother, think about it!"
"Marine?"
Vlad didn't even think about it, he directly refused: "Forget it! The Marine is really not suitable for me!"
"Oh?"
Aokiji pushed away the blindfold and looked at Vlad. His tone didn't change and asked: "Can you tell me why?"
"Mr. Kuzan,"
Vlad didn't say anything because Aokiji was a Marine, he said bluntly: "It's very simple, Mr. Kuzan, is the justice of the Marine really justice?"
"Huh?"
Aokiji sat up and looked down at Vlad with a rare serious expression on his face.
Vlad didn't care about Aokiji's performance, he continued to talk about his 'treason': "Is the Marine really fighting to protect the interests of the people in the sea? Are you really a righteous person?"
"Indeed, the winner is justice, although the strength of the Marine can not be compared to the Yonko. People seems to still believe that the Marine is indeed the most righteous existence in the sea."
"But," Vlad turned his head and looked straight at Aokiji, "Mr. Kuzan, is this justice really justice?"
Aokiji didn't speak, he just quietly stared at Vlad, his body was cold.
Vlad didn't have any fear, he knew that Aokiji and Akainu were different after all.
"Meh!"
Aokiji scratched his head and lay back on the chair. The blindfold once again covered his eyes. This man was not angry because of Vlad's offense.
"The kid now is really hard to fool!"
This man said.
Vlad smiled. He was really an interesting man.
