Chapter 43: Auntie fell in love with Ren and slipped away
"I see."
After Artori finished speaking, she put away the phone bug, decisively stopped the battle and chose to return to Marinefando.
Anyway, it was impossible for her to successfully capture Kaido and the red-haired pirates under the watchful eyes of many cadres of the Red-haired Pirates and the Beasts Pirates. She would not fight them without fighting.
In comparison, the King of Artillery, who is still known as the Five Emperors, is actually a loner and is easier to "bully".
"Let's fight next time!"
Arturia shouted to the red-haired and Kaido on the desert island.
Without waiting for their reaction, she ordered to return, and then under the control of the navy sailors, the large warship "White Dragon" quickly turned around and stayed away from the deserted island.
Red hair:"……"
Kaido: "..."
The two looked at each other in shock and watched the warship leave without making any move to stop it.
There is no way to stop them. They are one kilometer away from the sea. I just tried it. Their long-range attacks are difficult to work.
As for catching up?
That's even more impossible. Warships are already fast, and the opponent can control the power of the storm. Whether it's accelerating the warship or slowing down the pirates' ships against the wind, it's easy.
On the sea, no one can resist a top-level expert who is more powerful than the natural type and storm fruit ability user.
Tremor Fruit, Storm Fruit, Floating Fruit, and Sea Shake and Fly into the Sky are all kings of naval battles, making people fearful of them.
For example, the Golden Lion's Flying Pirates once drove the Pirate King Roger to a dead end in the Battle of At Wall.
During the war, Whitebeard used vibrations to set off a tsunami and prepared to flood Marineland. Fortunately, he had the frozen fruit of Aoki Pheasant, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
The white dragon's hurricane power can also travel across the sea.
Sure enough, under the gaze of the red-haired and Kaido, after the warship turned around, the female marine waved her hand, and the hurricane surge was released.
"Huhu..."
The storm roared and gathered at the bottom of the warship. Under her control, it seemed as if there were several invisible giant arms of wind pulling upwards, and the entire warship was forcibly dragged up from the rippling blue sea!
Wrapped by the hurricane, the White Dragon turned into a spaceship and sailed towards the Red Earth Continent, and soon turned into a small black dot on the blue sky of water and sky...
The speed is so fast that ordinary pirate ships can't even smell the exhaust emitted by warships, let alone chasing them.
'Troublesome woman...'
On a desert island, Kaido and Red Hair looked at each other, with a hint of fear on their faces, and their thoughts were surprisingly the same.
Neither of them were in a good mood.
In the navy, there is already Aokiji, a user with the ability to freeze the fruit, who can instantly freeze the sea, and now there is a white dragon who can control the power of the storm...
In this way, the weather (storm air currents) and location (frozen sea surface) are both on the navy's side.
Even "Hehe" is on the Navy's side. After all, the four emperors don't get along, and the Navy can still cooperate even if there are conflicts.
For example, if Aokiji and White Dragon pursue a group of pirates, who can bear it?
Freeze your pirate ship and start a battle... If you can't defeat it, use the storm to lift the navy's fleet into the sky and escape.
Damn this, it’s so fucked up, it’s such a scoundrel.
The red-haired man and Kaido are both stupid, and when they think of this, they feel like they are stuck in their throats.
"Kaido, do you still want to fight?"
"Forget it, let's have a day's truce..."
After Lieutenant General Bailong's interruption, the two four emperors suddenly felt a little unmotivated and temporarily lost interest in continuing the fight.
I always feel that this year's navy is a bit strong, which really makes the pirates feel unhappy.
A volcano erupts, a hurricane passes through, and three feet of ice freeze...Three major natural disasters are coming together. Fortunately, the Shock Fruit and Piao Piao Fruit are not in the hands of the navy. Otherwise, the pirates would not be able to survive at sea and would have to huddle on the island all the time.
Deceived by grandson.
There is a temporary truce, but the confrontation between the Beast Pirates and the Red Hair Pirates continues.
As long as Kaido doesn't give up invading Whitebeard's territory, there will still be a fight between the two sides.
The red-haired man returned to the Red Foss and asked casually, without thinking about the annoying things about the navy's strength growing again:
"What's the latest news?"
"Shocked! The Five Emperors Ren came to dominate the world, Kaido looked horrified, Big Mom was trembling, and the red-haired girl bowed her head...does this count?"
Laki Lu took a bite of the chicken leg and said with a smile.
Red hair:"……"
Unable to complain.
Also, the King of Guns is so popular during this period. Except for the public execution of Fire Fist Ace by the Navy, most of the news is about him.
"Subscribe less to some inferior local tabloids, it's a waste of money." The red-haired man shook his head.
"Captain, you don't understand this. Local tabloids are much more interesting than those high-sounding newspapers."
After Lucky Lu finished speaking, he handed him a newspaper.
"Swordsman Ren was born! He punched the general Kizaru and kicked Tenyasha. The red-haired Yonko who was once a member of the Roger Pirates exclaimed - It's him, it's him, we are the Roger Pirates
The trump card for a comeback!》
Red hair:"……"
(；一_一), speechless.
Lackey Lu asked curiously: "Hey, boss, is King Pao a disciple of Roger? I heard that he knows Roger's Divine Avoidance."
"I don't know. Anyway, I didn't know him before." The red-haired man shook his head in denial.
"It is unlikely that Ren is Roger's disciple. He is only 25 years old, and Roger died 22 years ago. He was still wearing crotchless pants at that time. How can he learn Roger's swordsmanship moves?"
Sniper Jesus shrugged, "Did you start practicing from the womb?"
"It makes sense. The newspaper also said that he got some of the treasure that Roger brought out from Lovedru. It's even more ridiculous... How could our captain not know if he really brought out the treasure?"
"But why would Pluto Rayleigh help him? There must be some connection..."
The people in the red-haired pirate group started talking about it.
Some people asked Captain Shanks a few questions from time to time, but the captain also didn't know everything, and shook his head...
Red-haired: You ask me, who should I ask?
He said it was very dry, Francis D. Lane, he had never heard of it before...
Benbeck Mann was holding a cigarette and looked very calm:
"But this man is indeed very strong. He defeated Admiral Kizaru. There is no doubt that Hawkeye has an opponent."
"Hahahaha...are you talking about Mihawk? He should be very happy. The long-awaited powerful enemy has finally appeared."
The red-haired man was obviously an optimist. Thinking of his friends, he forgot his troubles and doubts and started laughing.
The world's greatest swordsman vs. the bloodthirsty swordsman, it's interesting to think about it.
The red-haired man threw away the newspaper and smiled brightly:
"I have decided that when Ren returns to the new world, I will meet him. If I have any doubts, wouldn't I just ask him face to face?"
………
On the other side, Kaido of the Beasts also returned to the Mammoth.
He was obviously an alcoholic. As soon as he got on the boat, he picked up a wine gourd with the word "天" printed on it and kept pouring wine. He was unrestrained and uninhibited. The wine flowed down his mouth and wet his chest. He drank heavily and cried and laughed at the same time.
.
"Boss, how should we deal with the swordsman Ren's matter?" Quinn came over and asked.
Kaido was startled when he heard this: "What should we do? Do we have anything to do with that arrogant brat?"
"Boss, have you forgotten, didn't you tell us last time to publish the sentence "Tear off his head and use it as a chamber pot" in the newspaper?" Quinn explained helplessly.
Later, the artillery king replied to them through the newspaper-"Kaido, be my son!"
This is the "historical grudge" between the Beast Pirates and the Gun King.
After Quinn's reminder, Kaido suddenly realized and said with a ferocious smile:
"Oh hahahaha... That kid who imitated Whitebeard and wanted to take me as his son?
Humph, he can defeat Kizaru, that’s his ability, there’s no need to shout about it in the newspaper, what nonsense the Five Emperors are, the strongest man in the world, when he returns to the New World, I will definitely kill him!”
The strongest man in the world, how many blows do you want to play? Have you asked him?
Quinn: "..."
He himself did not agree with the Beasts Pirates continuing to provoke the bloodthirsty swordsman, especially after knowing that the other party had defeated Kizaru...
There is no grievance or grudge, there is no need to provoke such a ruthless person.
It’s not that you’re afraid, it’s that it’s unnecessary and it’s of no benefit.
It's a pity that with the boss's character, it's impossible to give in. After all, Pao Wang's words "Be my son" are too sarcastic. As a man, I can't bear it...
Lei didn't know it yet, but Kaido was already thinking about him.
When he returns to the new world, the strongest creature will give him a head-on blow.
………
Seas of All Nations, Cake Island.
In the living room, the Fourth Emperor's aunt was sitting on the main seat.
She is tall and fat, with thick lipstick on her lips, light purple eye shadow, a pirate hat and a large pink dress.
This set of clothes looks cute and girly on an average woman.
Wearing it on an aunt, it looks like a scary, horror movie.
I can't imagine what Lingling went through to transform from a sexy and beautiful lady with a devilish figure to the wet market lady she is today.
On both sides of the living room, most of the generals such as Katakusu, Cracker, and Smoothie, as well as Dafu, Owen, Garrett, and Brynn, and other aunt's children were present.
"Are you ready for war? Once the news comes that Whitebeard was defeated and killed in Malinfando, we will attack his territory immediately."
The aunt grinned, her smile was scary, "As long as I can occupy most of Whitebeard's territory and digest it, I can defeat Kaido and even the redhead!"
"Don't worry, Mom, the logistics are all done."
One of the four dessert generals, Cracker, who had a bounty of 860 million Berry, promised with his chest lined up, "The manpower has been assembled. As long as you give the order, our fleet can attack Whitebeard's territory!"
The overlord of the sea, Whitebeard, is about to fall.
His territory is huge, and there are not many forces that are eyeing this piece of fat, and the Charlotte family is naturally one of them.
Their main competitors are the Beasts Pirates and the Nine Snakes Pirates.
As for the rest of the small and medium-sized forces, they are just rotten fish and shrimps in front of the Big Mom Pirates. They are vulnerable to a blow. Even if they eat them, they will spit them out.
The aunt was very happy, her eyes were very greedy: "Very good, we must get ahead of Kaido and Hancock!"
Now has reached a critical moment. Whoever can swallow Whitebeard's territory, she or Kaido, can take a step closer to becoming the "Pirate King".
Even if the empress gains territory, she can become one of the four emperors.
As for the red hair...he is a bit special, so that's another matter.
Later, the leaders of the Charlotte family discussed with Big Mom how to annex Whitebeard's territory.
About two hours later, the meeting ended and Auntie’s children were preparing to leave.
Charlotte Lingling seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly picked up the newspaper and asked: "Smoothie, what do you think of the swordsman Lane?"
"ah?"
Juice minister and one of the Four Dessert Stars, Charlotte Smoothie was stunned for a moment.
She is Big Mom's 14th daughter, a superhuman with the ability to extract fruits, and a rare female pirate in this world, with a bounty of 932 million Berry.
This girl is also a long-legged person. She wears a hat and a scarf. She is very tall. Her long legs may be higher than Lei's.
She has long white hair, covers one eye, wears a pair of gloves, carries a long sword with a spiral sheath behind her back, has the characteristic tattoos of the Longfoot tribe on her legs, and wears a pair of pink patterned boots.
Compared to her height and status, Smoothie's nickname is louder.
She is a woman known as "Sister Juice", "Juice Girl", and "Water Paddling King".
It turned out that when the Straw Hats were causing trouble on Cake Island, she sleepwalked almost the whole time...
'How about the swordsman Wren?'
But Smoothie usually doesn't sleepwalk. When she heard her mother's question, she hesitated and said:
"She is very low-key and loves to be pushy, but she is very strong and will not be inferior to redheads."
She never thought that her mother would ask this question, so she could only say a few words based on her impressions when reading the newspaper.
At the same time, her heart beat faster and she had a vague premonition of something bad.
"Then are you willing to marry him?" Sure enough, the aunt directly said that she wanted her daughter to marry the bloodthirsty swordsman.
This is not surprising, the Big Mom Pirates are connected through blood relationships.
Big Mom also consolidated the strength and status of the pirate group by allowing the children of the family to marry with different forces in the world.
"Ah this..."
"Smoothie wants to be with..."
The expressions on the faces of Katakusa, Perospero, Owen, Daifuku and Garrett are wonderful.
Some have calm faces, some are surprised, some are confused, some are gloating, and some are deeply dissatisfied... From the expressions of these people, you can tell that the Charlotte family is not united at all.
"Mom, I..."
Smoothie's face turned red. He didn't know whether it was from shyness, embarrassment or nervousness. He just felt that his heart was in a state of confusion and his head was blank.
She knows that for mothers, their children are just tools.
Whether it’s a son or a daughter, many of them don’t have any freedom of love and marriage. If the mother says to sell her daughter, she will sell her daughter.
She originally thought that with her own strength, she would not become a victim... but now she saw that it was just that she had never met anyone worth winning over before.
Now, in order to win over the bloodthirsty swordsman, my mother wants to sacrifice her, the most powerful and outstanding daughter in the Charlotte family.
Seeing that her daughter seemed to be hesitating, the aunt's face turned cold:
"Smoothie, are you dissatisfied with this arrangement? You are already 33 years old, and the swordsman Wren is completely worthy of you!"
If the bloodthirsty swordsman was willing to marry her daughter and join the Charlotte family, she wouldn't mind letting Smoothie get married anyway.
As for the daughter's wishes, does this need to be considered?
That is to say, she is really a bit old, otherwise, she would not mind going into battle in person and letting the artillery king be her 44th husband...
Love? Can that thing be eaten?
(Ryan: I was offended, thank you.)
"No."
Seeing his mother's unkind expression, Smoothie was startled, lowered his head, his pretty face flushed, he was either shy or angry, "It's all up to my mother."
She didn't feel aggrieved.
Frankly speaking, Frances D. Lane was the top choice in terms of both strength and appearance. He could kill almost every man in the sea instantly and fully met her criteria for choosing a mate.
It's just that my mother's attitude of arranging a marriage without any discussion made her very disgusted and humiliated.
She didn't even meet the swordsman Ren once, and she became a tool for marriage.
Smoothie also realized at this time that he did not have the courage to resist his mother.
"..."
Seeing her bowing her head in submission, Owen, Dafu, Baron Dandan and others all had different expressions, ranging from sympathy to ridicule.
Brynn, Garrett and other unmarried women all forced themselves to smile.
The rabbit dies and the fox is sad, they also know that one day it may be their turn to sacrifice for the family and marry a man they have never met.
If Sanji were here, he would definitely feel dry...
At this time, no one dared to speak for Smuji. Only Katakusu dared to take a step forward and said in a deep voice:
"Mom, it's unlikely that Ren will agree to a marriage. He forces Tenyaksha, attacks and insults the Celestial Dragons, and even takes the initiative to attack Navy Admiral Kizaru... Such a helpless and unruly hero is difficult for us to use."
He was telling the truth, anyway, he didn't think the bloodthirsty swordsman would be willing to marry Smoothie.
If he simply married her off, it would be possible.
But my mother would not give up Smoothie's fighting prowess, so she would definitely ask the artillery king to marry him.
"I am clear."
The aunt's face straightened, and she seemed to understand that this was difficult, and said in a casual tone, "Just give it a try, there are not many women who are better than Smoothie, so he may not be tempted.
It doesn’t matter if you fail, there’s nothing to lose anyway.”
Give it a try, what if it works?
With the help of the bloodthirsty swordsman, she is confident that she will quickly defeat Kaido and Red Hair and become the new Pirate King.
When aunt is not getting sick, her IQ is still online.
Ren's strength can gain her respect. She is not provoking or forcing him, she is just expressing her intention to marry.
If he doesn't agree, then throw him away.
Seeing that her mother was sober, Katakusu didn't say anything more.
The aunt looked at Brynn, Garrett and other daughters, and added:
"My idea is that the swordsman Ren can choose whatever he wants. If he likes you, you must also be prepared to get married."
Yes, as long as the Pao Wang agrees to marry into his wife, everything is easy to talk about.
Even if he wants to marry a few, she will give it careful consideration.
Brynn: "..."
Garrett: "..."
He really knows how to sell his daughter.
Smoothie: "..."
Her thoughts were even more complicated.
On the one hand, I feel relieved.
On the one hand, I feel, well, a little unhappy, as if the man who should belong to me has been robbed by my sisters... ahem.
Worrying about gain and loss, no, simply not knowing whether she should expect the bloodthirsty swordsman to agree to the marriage or refuse.
Frankly speaking, there is really no man better than Francis D. Lane at present, not in her memory anyway.
Red hair may not be more competitive than the gun king.
Ignoring the random thoughts of her daughters, the aunt ordered:
"Clark, after the swordsman Ren returns to the new world, you are responsible for meeting with him to talk about the marriage, and be polite."
"I understand, Mom." Cracker nodded.
To be honest, he thought it would be good for Smoothie to marry Lane.
How powerful is this ability to defeat Kizaru?
Even if the artillery king doesn't have any subordinates, land, power or wealth, this strength alone is more than enough for her.
After the conversation ended and he came out of the living room, Smoothie felt bad.
On the one hand, I hope Ren can agree,
On the one hand, I hope Renn will refuse decisively.
Shit, why is she so unlucky?
Smoothie looked up at the blue sky with a blank look on his face.
The sunlight made her squint her eyes. It was so dazzling that she suddenly felt that God was targeting her. Why was it so difficult to be an older leftover girl...
………
Shampoo Islands, Area 7.
Lei Mou did not know that he had been targeted by the two four emperors.
Kaido wants to beat him, Big Mom is greedy for his body, and even the red hair is ready to talk to him.
In the past two days, he and Robin spent time in the library, obsessed with studying and unable to extricate themselves.
They almost lived in Musui Library. Robin was in charge of archaeology. He was very casual and flipped through the books he wanted to read. This library was large and well-equipped, including astronomy and geography, adventure logs, strange stories about strange beasts, etc., in various categories.
Many.
He doesn't hear what's going on outside the window, and he only reads the books of sages.
It seems boring, but Renn feels very satisfied. These books make up for his knowledge of the world.
You must know that this is a real world with many unknown secrets hidden in it.
There are even some mysterious events that are difficult for big pirates to understand.
For example: Why did a 90-year-old woman die tragically on the street? Why did hundreds of female donkeys scream in the middle of the night? The door of the old nun was knocked every night. Is it human or ghost? Is behind all this the distortion of human nature or the loss of morality?
The content covered in the book is diverse, and some of it is simply ridiculous.
For example, there was a pirate who worked hard to find treasure, and finally based on the map, he sailed the pirate ship to Marineland...
Renn: "..."
Forgive him for laughing so hard at that time.
Beside the desk, he was looking through a voyage diary, when his expression suddenly changed:
"Fuck, that's bad, Robin, clean up, it's time to run away!"
"..."
Robin, who was sorting out the documents, was stunned for a moment, with a surprised expression on his face.
She actually saw a trace of panic on Ren's face.
This was so rare. Even if he heard that Navy Admiral Kizaru was coming, he would burst through the auction wall with excitement and attack him.
"Escape?"
"That's right, the idea is thorny and the wind is blowing hard!"
