Luffy and others looked at Aokiji with disbelief in their eyes.
Admiral of the Navy Headquarters!
Because of Rune, Luffy and the others are much stronger and more visionary than their peers of the same period.
Luffy and others in the original work have no idea what the admirals of the Navy Headquarters represent or how powerful they are.
However, with Rune as a reference, Luffy and others were able to visualize the concept of the admiral of the Marine Headquarters.
He is one of the strongest men in this sea, who is able to fight against Luen, who has now awakened the Thunder Fruit and fully mastered the power of dominance!
Even they had never seen Lu En's performance in a life-and-death struggle.
Even when facing Eneel, the strongest enemy they had encountered since setting sail, Luen crushed him with his dominance and knocked him off the line with one blow.
And now Lu En has become even stronger than before!
But even Lu En's domineering attack at that time was like an insurmountable mountain to them.
It is simply not something they can contend with.
Robin looked at Aokiji, cold sweat on his forehead and uncontrollable panic in his beautiful eyes.
Even though Robin's inner shadow has been mostly dissipated because of Luen, it still exists.
O'Hara's miserable condition and the unmatched and terrifying strength that Aokiji displayed in front of her were all nightmares that could not be shaken off in the mind of Robin, who was only eight years old.
This nightmare accompanied her until she met Lu En.
Now that she is face to face with Aokiji again, Robin's panic is inevitable.
But because of Luen's presence, Robin didn't become completely paralyzed by fear like in the original book.
Instead, he subconsciously came behind Luen and hugged Luen's arms.
Holding Luen's arm, Robin's panicked heart calmed down a little. Looking at Luen's profile standing half a body in front of her, Robin pursed her red lips and felt a lot more at ease.
Nami and Vivi's pretty faces froze when they saw Robin's appearance.
They had never seen Robin look so scared before.
It is conceivable that this admiral of the Marine Headquarters in front of her had caused a great psychological trauma to Robin.
Nami took out the weather stick and Vivi took a fighting stance.
During the voyage, they had already recognized Robin.
"Ah, Nico Robin, long time no see. You have grown into a real beauty."
Aokiji looked at Robin who was hiding behind Luen, his eyes slightly narrowed.
The incident involving Aokiji and O'Hara was Robin's nightmare.
The Robin and O'Hara incident was also Aokiji's nightmare.
He witnessed the absolute cruelty of absolute justice in the O'Hara incident.
Even unrelated civilians must be slaughtered to ensure that no historians get mixed up in the group.
He was even forced to attack his former friend, Sauro, who was protecting Robin.
Aokiji still doesn't want to recall that feeling.
Aokiji wanted to let Nico Robin go, and let his friend, Sauro, protect the little girl at all costs.
How will the little girl who carries the O'Hara incident grow up?
What kind of impact can it have on the world?
After all, it was because of the O'Hara incident that Aokiji felt confused about the absolute justice implemented by the World Government.
Therefore, I want to see more possibilities through various channels to safeguard the justice in my heart as a Marine.
It was also because of the O'Hara incident that after witnessing too many tragic situations caused by the absolute justice of the world government,
Even after being promoted to the admiral of the Marine Headquarters, Aokiji still practiced lazy justice.
It's called laziness, but in fact, it's just complete confusion.
Aokiji can't find the justice in his heart in today's navy.
"Admiral?! Why would the Admiral of the Marine Headquarters come to us!
Shouldn't this navy go after the super pirates who are causing unrest in the ocean? !"
At this time, the two timid duo Usopp and Chopper hugged each other and looked at Aokiji fearfully.
Usopp was even more shocked.
After hearing what Usopp said,
Nami, Vivi, Luffy, Sanji, Zoro,
Even Aokiji subconsciously looked at Lu En.
"I forgot! Luen is such a great pirate! It turns out that we are the source of the turmoil in the sea!"
Usopp held his head, tears streaming down his face.
Look at what Luen did with them.
Before entering the Grand Line, the strongest and highest bounty pirates in the East China Sea, Admiral Krik and Arlong, were all killed.
He even clashed with Hawkeye Mihawk, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
Since entering the Grand Line, he has directly killed another of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Crocodile.
In Mogu Town, a phone call was made directly to the headquarters of the World Government, the holy land of Marijoa, which caused a huge riot with domineering power and threatened the Five Elders who held the highest authority in the World Government.
He is known as the most vicious pirate on the sea today!
The bounty is over 1.1 billion berries, and he caused great turmoil in the ocean. He is a super pirate!
It's Luen!
Usopp and Chopper looked at Rune with tears in their eyes.
No wonder they were targeted by the admiral of the Navy Headquarters!
But it's done!
Usopp took out his slingshot tremblingly and prepared for battle.
Chopper even held the Rumble Ball in the medical kit, ready to eat it at any time.
"Ah, it seems that you have a correct understanding of yourselves.
You are indeed the source of the current unrest in the ocean, Heavenly King, Lu En."
Aokiji looked at the young man in front of him with a serious look in his eyes.
He is so young, yet he has caused such a stir in the sea.
At this age, he hasn't even learned Haki yet, and is practicing Iron Fist with Garp.
"Call Marijoa directly and use the Conqueror's Haki to cause a large-scale riot, causing many Celestial Dragons to fall unconscious.
You have gone too far in threatening the Five Elders, the world's highest authority, King of Heaven, Lu En."
Aokiji stared at Lu En and said in a deep voice.
"A celestial dragon?"
Luffy and the others were a little confused by this term.
But Weiwei's expression changed.
As the princess of the Kingdom of Alabasta, one of the member states of the World Government, and a participant in the World Conference, Vivi is of course familiar with this term.
The world's nobility, descendants of the twenty kings who founded the world government, descendants of the Creator, treat other people like livestock.
It is an existence in this ocean that must not be provoked.
At that time, did Rune actually use his Conqueror's Haki to attack the Celestial Dragons?
It turned out that the world's noble Celestial Dragons were also used as bargaining chips by Lu En to force the Five Elders to make concessions, just to wash away the stigma on her.
Weiwei bit her red lips and looked at Lu En's back.
I felt regret for showing an unhappy expression and causing Luen to do this.
More importantly, it is full of emotion and love.
"Dracos? Those pigs? This time, it's just a warning."
Lu En's words made Aokiji's expression change.
Using Conqueror's Haki to make many Celestial Dragons unconscious was just a warning.
So next time, does this man want to launch a massacre against the Celestial Dragons?
They even called the celestial dragons pigs.
King Luen, who even knew the existence of the Five Elders and the Knights of God, couldn't possibly not know what the Celestial Dragons represented.
Yet they still act this way.
What an unscrupulous man.
"Well, I'm just here for a walk this time. I'm not planning on attacking you."
Aokiji suddenly lay down, looking lazy.
"That's a little untrue, Aokiji."
Lu En looked at Aokiji and smiled.
"Really? I think this is very suitable for our current conversation."
Aokiji also laughed.
"Crash!"
There were noises coming from the dense forest, and some civilians slowly walked out.
"So you are a navy man."
The leading civilian looked at Aokiji in surprise.
Then, he looked at Lu En and the others with some fear.
These civilians are survivors of the cruise ship disaster a month ago.
When I saw Aokiji riding a bicycle on the sea, I thought I was hallucinating.
After that, he saw the pirate flag on the Merry and dared not show up even more.
It was not until Luen talked to Aokiji and the others that he realized the man in front of him was a navy admiral.
We also know that this young man is the vicious super pirate, King Lun.
Although they were afraid, the admiral was here after all, and if they didn't find a way to save themselves, they would definitely die on this uninhabited island.
So I plucked up my courage and walked out.
"Your clarification work is not going well. It seems I need to speed up the efficiency of the World Government."
Lu En looked at the frightened faces of these civilians, and occasionally glanced at Wei Wei.
Then he looked at Aokiji, his eyes lit up red and black.
"But before that, Chopper, please help them check their bodies."
Luen looked at Chopper.
Aokiji did not conflict with them at the first moment because he discovered these civilians with his Observation Haki.
Aokiji had already read all the information about Luen before coming here.
The user of the Smoke Fruit, Explosion Fruit, Lightness Fruit, and Flame-Flame Fruit.
There may be other unknown Devil Fruit abilities.
But the Flame-Flame Fruit alone is enough to make Aokiji care.
If a war breaks out between natural types, especially a war with the Flame-Flame Fruit, which is considered a top-level natural ability, the casualties caused will definitely affect these civilians.
Only after sending these people away can he free his hands.
As for why they didn't send these civilians away before Lu En and his group arrived.
Aokiji had just arrived here not long ago, and he didn't have the Thunder Fruit to increase the range of his observation Haki.
In an environment like an uninhabited island, Aokiji is not a god, so he naturally doesn't know that there are civilians there, so he uses his Observation Haki to search the island.
When these civilians came close to them, Aokiji's observation Haki discovered these people.
Under Chopper's treatment, the civilians gradually felt relieved.
The notorious King Lu En in front of him was not like what was rumored.
On the contrary, he is a very peaceful young man.
When Aokiji suggested that there was a way to get them to leave.
"Hey! Everyone! Don't trust this guy! He's a marine!"
Luffy pointed at Aokiji with a nervous look on his face and shouted at the civilians.
"Yes, is there any problem?"
Luffy's words left the civilians confused.
Luffy's facial expression froze for a moment, and after a while he suddenly realized something and tapped his hands.
"I see! In the eyes of ordinary people, the navy is their partner and we are the bad guys! This is good, very good."
Luffy's funny look made the nervous Nami hit him on the head with a weather stick.
Next, Luen and others prepared food for these civilians who had been hungry for a long time.
Supplies were also prepared for these civilians.
"So."
Aokiji walked to the beach and put his hands in the sea.
"The strength of a navy admiral."
Zoro, Sanji and others were staring at Aokiji.
They were also very curious about this man's strength.
"roar!"
At this time, a huge sea monster leaped out of the sea and bit towards Aokiji.
Because his vision had broadened, Usopp did not yell at Aokiji to be careful. Instead, he swallowed hard and watched how Aokiji was going to deal with this ignorant sea beast.
"ICE-Ice Age!"
"Swoosh! Snap! Snap!"
In an instant, horrifying cold air gushed out of Aokiji's body frantically.
The sea beasts, the sea, everything within sight was completely frozen by this terrifying icy air.
"Nature-type, devil fruit!"
Zoro watched this scene with cold sweat on his forehead.
Sanji also watched all this in horror.
Another top-level natural devil fruit user.
"A natural type, user of the Ice Fruit, admiral of the Navy Headquarters, Aokiji."
Seeing this familiar scene, O'Hara's miserable plight seemed to reappear before his eyes. Robin's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and his heart seemed to be covered with a shadow again.
But the next moment.
"!!!"
Robin felt the warmth coming from his hands, and his hands, which seemed a little cold under the freezing air, became warm.
Looking at the smile that Luen showed her, Robin pursed her red lips, then held Luen's hand tightly.
Good, warm, good, safe.
Robin closed his eyes.
That shadow was blown away again.
"This will probably last a week. If we go four days in that direction, we will have an inhabited island."
Aokiji said to these civilians.
Next, Luen and others prepared supplies for these civilians.
"Thank you so much! It turns out that Mr. Lu En is such a good person. Those rumors are simply not to be believed."
The leading civilian looked at Lu En and the others with a grateful smile.
Hearing this, Weiwei smiled happily.
It would be great if the world could have fewer misunderstandings about Luen.
Amid the civilians' thanks, they embarked on their journey.
"You really look like your grandfather, Monkey D. Luffy."
Aokiji looked at Luffy and said in a deep voice.
Even though he's a pirate, he still loves to help civilians.
Also, the king, Lu En.
Aokiji looked at Lu En, with confusion in his eyes.
The way this man helped the civilians just now was not hypocritical at all.
He could clearly sense that warm breath with his observation Haki.
As the admiral of the Navy Headquarters, he naturally knew the inside story of the so-called Alabasta incident.
There are also the experiences of Luen and others along the way.
Monka was defeated because of his violent rule over the town of Shields.
The reason why A-Long was killed and Colonel Mouse was because these two people were connected with each other and had carried out inhumane and violent rule over the village of Kokoa West and the surrounding waters.
In the Alabasta incident, it was King Lun and Princess Vivi who together crushed the pirate Crocodile's conspiracy to overthrow the Alabasta regime and start a terrible war.
Liberate Shields Town, liberate Cocoa Village and the surrounding waters, and liberate Alabasta.
This is the one who is now being promoted by the World Government and their navy as the world's most vicious pirate.
What the man with a bounty of 1.135 billion berries has done since he went to sea.
In Aokiji's eyes, these things are completely just acts.
But the result was the same as the O'Hara incident.
King Luen is seen as a huge obstacle to justice in this sea area today and must be eliminated.
At this moment, Aokiji's eyes were full of confusion.
"grandfather?!"
Luffy shuddered violently when he heard Aokiji's words.
Garp is definitely Luffy's childhood shadow.
"The Navy hero Garp?"
Because of Luen, everyone now knew who Luffy's grandfather was.
At that time in the restaurant on the sea, when Luffy mentioned the hero Garp, he was extremely scared.
Now it seems that the fruit caused a huge trauma in Luffy's childhood.
"Aokiji, you confused guy, you are such a coward."
Luen's observation Haki was filled with domineering aura, and he looked at Aokiji at this moment with a domineering smile.
Aokiji's emotions at the moment had already been captured by his Observation Haki.
No wonder Garp made such a comment when he fought Aokiji on Beehive Island.
Aokiji's aura is too confused and too cowardly!
When everyone heard Lu En's words, they all looked at Aokiji.
With the strength of Luffy and the other two's observation Haki, they could not sense the aura of Aokiji at all.
So everyone was in disbelief.
Admiral of the Navy Headquarters, confused? Cowardly?
Robin, in particular, looked incredulous.
Aokiji's expression suddenly changed.
"View entry one.".
