People in One Piece are so good-looking

"..."

Nuo Xia silently pulled the microphone away and said angrily:

"It's me, Mr. Garp. Sooner or later, my ears will be deafened by you. I just arrived in Donghai two days ago. How do you know... Oh, I heard Gion say it while eating?"

He and his wife and daughters have only met a few times in the past two years, but their "video" phone calls have never been broken.

Garp came home every three days to meet his father for a drink, and by the way, he learned about his mother's cooking skills. It was normal for him to know about it so quickly.

"hey-hey……"

There was a dry smile on the other end of the phone, which was regarded as the acquiescence. "Let's not talk about that. Are you free during this time? I have a small matter that I want to entrust you with. If you are still as busy as before, forget it. Business is more important."

"About half a month."

As Nuo Xia walked towards the dojo with Zoro, he asked with a smile, "Idle time is idle, so I can squeeze out some spare time for you. Tell me, what's the matter?"

"Not that brat Luffy!"

Garp sighed, "I just took leave a while ago and went back to the East China Sea to see him. When I was training this guy, he got tired and sneaked back to the village. He was also yelling that he didn't want to be a navy anymore and wanted to be a navy soldier. Pirates.”

"I was so angry that I beat up the kid on the spot. It happened that there was an emergency at the headquarters and Warring States kept urging me to go back. I left without saying a word early the next morning."

"Now that I think about it, I still feel sorry for Luffy. After all, he is just a kid of a few years old. What does he know..."

"So you want me to go on your behalf to comfort this little guy?" Nuo Xia chuckled, "And by the way, you want to appease the guilt in your heart?"

"Guilty..." Garp snorted twice, but didn't deny it. "I'm really not very good at comforting people, but you are much more reliable in this regard, so I'd like to ask you to go over there when you have time, and take me with you as you like. Order a gift, well, as long as it’s something delicious, just say it’s an apology gift from me.”

"Then I would like to remind that kid by the way, there is nothing good about being a pirate, even if it is just the angry words of his child!"

"Leave this little thing to me, no problem."

Nuo Xia nodded slightly.

What Garp said was true. Luffy was still in Windmill Village at the moment and had little contact with the outside world. He said he wanted to be a pirate, and it was really just an angry talk to resist the training in hell.

As for the later statement "I am the man who wants to become the Pirate King", it must have been the influence of the red-haired pirates after staying in Windmill Village for more than a year.

"Oh, right!"

Garp, who was on the other end of the phone, suddenly remembered something and reminded, "There is intelligence from the headquarters that shows that the leader of the Revolutionary Army...that is, that guy Long, seems to have been active in the East China Sea recently."

"Be careful, and when you get to Windmill Village, remember to warn Luffy to stay away from that irresponsible father."

"That kid is clamoring to be a pirate, but it doesn't really matter. By the time he reaches adulthood and goes to sea, this era of great pirates will be over long ago in your hands. But the dangerous revolutionary army is different. I can't care about that kid Long. When we arrived, I was afraid that this kid would follow the same path as his father..."

Nuo Xia suddenly stopped and her expression was slightly startled.

At first, Garp continued to talk nonchalantly, but he never heard a response and finally realized something was wrong:

"Hello? Hello? Hello! What's wrong? Where is the person, Nuo Xia! Did something happen to you over there?!"

"..."

Nuo Xia was silent for a while, "You just said, let me be careful about dragons?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"It seems that there is no need for it."

Nuo Xia raised his head with a strange expression and looked at the man standing quietly at the door of Xinxin Dojo under the street lamp.

"He is in front of me now."

…

In the Ishin Dojo.

Long took off his green hood, and Nuo Xia also took off his white hood. The two of them sat down opposite each other in silence in front of the small table placed on the tatami.

Except for the two of them.

In the courtyard outside, there were more than a dozen figures, all of whom were cadres affiliated with the Revolutionary Army. Many of them were nervously looking at this side with wary faces.

As long as the atmosphere in the room changes and the two fight, they will immediately rush in to support.

"Who are these, teacher?"

Zoro, who had just returned from following Nosha, was confused and quietly tugged on Koushiro's lapel and asked in a low voice, "Why are there so many guests in the dojo today?"

Koushiro smiled bitterly, rubbed Zoro's head, and said nothing. He just picked up the boiling kettle on the stove in the corner and went into the room to make tea for the two of them.

"Thanks."

Nuo Xia held up the teacup, looked up at Koushiro who was making tea for the dragon, and said leisurely:

"I heard from Sauron that you left class early today and went out. The disciples thought you were going to visit an old friend who was seriously ill, but it turned out that you were going to help the revolutionary army collect and transport food."

He pointed at the flour bags piled up in a hill outside the courtyard, with a half-smile on his face:

"But, who would have expected that the master of Isshin Dojo would secretly collude with the wanted criminal who is regarded as the biggest threat by the World Government?"

Koushiro's movements froze slightly.

When he turned around after a while, his face had returned to its usual calm and calm look. He pushed up his glasses and sighed softly:

"I am indeed a bit unlucky today. I was caught by Mr. Bailong... Are you going to arrest me on behalf of the World Government?"

"I don't even work in the Navy anymore, so I don't have the leisure time."

Nuo Xia took a sip of tea and said, "You actually know it very well, don't you? Otherwise, the cup of tea I'm being served to you now wouldn't be this good cup of tea..."

He put down the teacup as he spoke, stretched, and finally turned his gaze to the opposite side of the table.

dragon.

This man has been silent from the moment he entered the room until now, but the extremely powerful aura on his body cannot be completely hidden no matter what, making it difficult for people to ignore.

And this breath...

Astonishingly, it was exactly the same as what Nuo Xia had sensed from a distance before, perfectly overlapping.

As for Koushiro on the side.

He did have the demeanor of a swordsman in his actions, but Nuo Xia could tell at a glance that the opponent's strength was only barely good, and at most it was barely comparable to a rear admiral at the Navy Headquarters.

Sure enough, there was a mistake before. The strong man whose aura he sensed was close to that of the Four Emperors was actually a dragon. And was his initial guess about Koushiro's strength correct?

His thoughts retracted in a flash, Nuo Xia smiled slightly, "When I was at the headquarters, I often heard Mr. Karp mention you when he was drunk. Today I finally got my wish to meet you, Long."

"The old man actually mentioned me? This is really surprising."

Long grinned, and the dense scars on his face made the smile look a bit ferocious and unnatural, "It's you, Bai Long, I have really admired your name for a long time... But there is one thing you said wrong, both of us This isn’t the first time we’ve met.”

"oh?"

Nuo Xia was slightly surprised.

"A few years ago, on Hal's Island in the New World."

Long drank the still scalding tea in the cup, "When you and Kaido were fighting in the dark, I was not far away, watching the whole process."

"It turns out that at that time..."

Nuo Xia laughed dumbly, and then he thought about everything clearly before and after, and raised his eyebrows, "Since you have seen me before, you should have noticed it was me immediately when I landed on the island, right? Why don't you leave quietly under the night? You also followed Mr. Koushiro back to the dojo, interesting...are you waiting for me to come to your door?"

Koushiro's expression changed slightly, and he subconsciously turned his head to look at Long.

Long smiled and said, "Actually, the people on the Eastern Front have been waiting for me to send this batch of food. They should have finished it and left early, but since you have come to the island, I naturally want to come over and see you. Do you know why? "

"Why?"

Nuo Xia tapped her knuckles lightly on the table.

"You used to be a navy, and I used to be a navy... It seems easy to guess, right? Why, you want to try to persuade me and get me to join your team?"

"We can't talk about joining a partnership. It might be better to talk about cooperation. Of course, it's almost the same."

Long poured himself another cup of tea and said with a smile, "We are all the same kind of people, aren't we? Ever since you resigned and left the navy two and a half years ago, you have been focusing on robbing pirates. Others couldn't tell and thought Roman Novnosha is still the same White Dragon Lieutenant General who hated pirates as much as he hated evil, but he can’t hide it from us..."

"Your final plan is clearly to overthrow those people."

He pointed at the ceiling, then looked at Nuo Xia, "This is not an easy task. Join us, or if we join you... the more people there are, the greater the power. The possibility of realizing it may still be slim, but it will eventually be high. many."

"impossible."

Nuo Xia refused without even thinking, "You seem to have misunderstood something... We are not from the same place."

Not a traveler?

How can it be?

Long frowned slightly, "Did we get it wrong? Have you never thought of overthrowing the world government and rebuilding a new order with the oppressed people all over the world?"

"impossible."

He immediately shook his head slightly and said, "I don't believe you are telling the truth. I have learned about your life experience, especially the things in White Town, in detail. With your personality, it is impossible to witness what happened after those things." , I have never had such an idea, otherwise, how could you be willing to leave the navy where you have been serving for many years, even if leaving the job will cause a mutiny of hundreds of thousands of people! Even if you are about to get the general position, you can just give up..."

Long became more and more excited as he spoke, and Nuo Xia had to raise his hand to interrupt him, "I'm talking about concepts, and concepts are different."

"... Concept?" Long was slightly stunned.

"Well, concepts, or routes, are fine too."

Nuo Xia crossed his hands and held his chin horizontally, looking at Long calmly, "Since its establishment, your revolutionary army has been active all over the world, helping civilians overthrow rule, while expanding at full speed, pulling more and more people. Join your resistance camp..."

"In a nutshell, I probably want to gradually accumulate strength and rewrite the world's territory bit by bit. From bottom to top, surround the Red Earth Continent from all four seas. Sooner or later, a single spark can start a prairie fire."

"A single spark can start a prairie fire……"

Long chewed subconsciously and repeated it, his eyes brightening, "What a good idea. I didn't expect you to know us so well... So, is there any problem with this?"

"It's a big problem."

Nuo Xia said calmly, "You just know that when I resigned, the headquarters was in an uproar. Hundreds of thousands of people gathered in the square to protest and cause trouble. Branches from all over the country also gathered to respond, which almost brought the entire navy to a halt."

"But have you ever thought about why I didn't try to win over these marines who supported and worshiped me, and how this collective mutiny ended in the end?"

"It's not like Will apologized personally and then was forced to resign..."

"Vell? He doesn't have this face."

Speaking of the former Navy Marshal, Nosha made no secret of his contempt, "I personally wrote a letter to appease him and asked Gion to hand it over to Sengoku on my behalf. After Marshal Sengoku read it out in public, the matter gradually subsided."

"Of course you read the most important point right. My goal is to overthrow the world government and establish a new order, but I never thought of letting ordinary naval soldiers and middle-level generals and officers get involved in this kind of thing. Things."

"Why?"

Long frowned, "Because they are all your subordinates, so you don't want them to sacrifice? But revolution is always inseparable from sacrifice. If no one bleeds, no one..."

"Of course the normal world is like this."

Nuo Xia interrupted him and said calmly, "It's a pity that this world is not normal. People with extraordinary power stand proudly at the top of the world. A white beard stands there. Hundreds of thousands or millions of people can't do anything to him. , the so-called stacking of numbers is nothing compared to personal force, and the blood shed by those victims is all in vain. No matter how many people are involved, one shot will only scratch the itch."

"so……"

Long's tone became hesitant.

"So as I said just now, your routes and mine are completely different."

Nuo Xia pointed at herself and looked at Long calmly, "What I want is to become the strongest in the world, punch Mariejoia through from above, take control of the world, and then completely change the world."

"In other words."

"You work from the bottom up and I work from the top down. Do you understand?"

In the dim candlelight.

Long froze on the spot, staring at him blankly.

PS: The dragon was once a navy. This is not clearly stated in the original work. It is purely my speculation.
