One Piece: Obtaining the Black Dragon King Fruit at the Start

Chapter 61 Aokiji Awakens

Minos walked through the blood-red square of Loguetown, oblivious to the angry shouts and doubts of others.

Sure enough, I gradually stopped hearing it. (⌒▽⌒)

The naval base in Loguetown was nearby, and Minos arrived in no time.

Minos looked at the white dove symbolizing justice on the naval base building with great disdain.

Only overwhelming strength is the true measure of power; so-called power is nothing more than a handful in the eyes of the strong.

Since almost all the naval soldiers went to capture Minos, there were not many people on the naval base, only some wounded veterans.

Minos's sudden intrusion left the veteran naval officers bewildered.

Minos looked at the veterans and said in a low voice, "If you leave now, I can spare your lives."

However, the veterans' gazes remained firm, unmoved by Minos's words, and instead kept their eyes fixed on him.

At the same time, they probably already knew in their hearts that the person in front of them was the intruder.

Not long ago, Lieutenant Commander Smoker led a large number of Marines out to arrest people. Now it seems that Smoker and his crew may be dead.

Thinking of these things, the veterans couldn't help but shed tears; they had already resolved to die.

Seeing these veterans in tears, Minos instantly understood their choice.

“In that case, you should go and keep them company!” Minos whispered.

After Minos finished speaking, he prepared to send these veterans down to join the dead naval soldiers.

Just then, a roar attracted Minos's attention.

At the same time, Minos also felt that the air around him had become much colder.

"Stop! Stop right now!" Aokiji's weak voice, tinged with anger, rang out.

Minos looked up and saw a man dressed in white casual clothes, a yellow tie, a white shirt, and blue long sleeves.

His hair was jet black with a slight curl, and he had a bit of a beard. He looked very tall, yet also quite frail. (Hehe, do you think I've changed my style? (⌒▽⌒))

"Aokiji! So it was you who arrived?" Minos looked at the weakened Aokiji with amusement.

"Who are you? Why did you invade the Loguetown naval base?" Aokiji questioned directly.

Aokiji had never seen Minos with such a drastically changed appearance before, so he questioned him directly.

"So you don't know me! In that case, let me introduce myself properly! That way you won't keep giving me nicknames." Minos said righteously.

"You must have heard of the name 'Slayer'! But my name is Minos. Stop calling me 'Slayer' and understand?" Minos said passionately.

"What? You're the killer?" Aokiji said, his face full of disbelief.

Minos's appearance had changed so drastically that many people couldn't recognize him at first. Fortunately, Yamashita Maya secretly took a picture of Minos, which made people realize that the killer had changed a lot.

It's not surprising that he didn't recognize Aokiji; he hadn't even had time to read the newspaper before Minos broke in.

Minos was very displeased when he heard Aokiji call him the Slayer again.

Suddenly, Minos thought of a better way to introduce it.

"Since you can't remember me, then I'll do something ruthless and make you remember me deeply!"

“I destroyed the 16th branch island, and I also killed all the soldiers in Loguetown. My name is Minos. Aokiji, do you remember me now?” Minos looked at Aokiji with amusement.

"What!" Minos's words were a direct blow to Aokiji, leaving him utterly shocked.

"So you destroyed the 16th branch island! And what about Smoker and the soldiers from Loguetown?!" Aokiji questioned Minos angrily.

Aokiji never expected that Smoker and the others would die after he had only been unconscious for a short time.

Aokiji hated himself terribly; he wished he had woken up sooner.

At least, the naval soldiers in Loguetown and Smoker wouldn't have died.

Let's go back to when Smoker heard that Minos had arrived in Loguetown.

Smoker left the naval soldier who had been communicating with him in the hospital room to take care of Aokiji.

The naval officer thus escaped some trouble, and during the time he was guarding Aokiji, he was very worried about the safety of Smoker and the others.

But he had to take good care of Admiral Aokiji, so he could only wait patiently.

However, the longer he sat there, the more restless he became. Suddenly, a cough caught his attention.

Cough cough, Aokiji has woken up, but he is still very weak.

The remaining naval soldiers turned around and saw that Aokiji had woken up, which made them very happy. They quickly went to Aokiji's side.

He whispered, "General Aokiji, you're awake!"

"You are!" Aokiji looked at the unfamiliar surroundings and unfamiliar people with great confusion. Didn't he remember that he was still in the 16th Branch's sea area?

"General Aokiji, it's like this..."

Soon, Aokiji learned the reason: it was Smoker who brought him back. No wonder he saw a blurry figure walking towards him before he collapsed.

Thinking about all this, Aokiji smiled slightly and said, "What an idiot! I clearly told him to evacuate first."

"By the way, where's Smoker?" Aokiji asked the remaining naval soldiers.

"General Aokiji, before you wake up, someone has invaded Loguetown. Major Smoker led a group to stop them. There's still no news. You'd better go check!" the soldier left behind said anxiously.

Because the soldiers left behind were in a hurry, they forgot to tell Aokiji who had invaded. (I can only force a way to cover it up (⌒▽⌒))

Upon hearing this terrible news, Aokiji's expression changed drastically. He immediately stood up, disregarding his own injuries, and prepared to go and support Smoker.

After Aokiji went outside, he heard what sounded like an argument coming from the naval base. Thinking that the enemy had invaded, he went to investigate.

Then, he met Minos.

Let's go back to the present.

Minos sneered, "That piece of trash and those small fry? Of course, I took care of them!"

Before Aokiji could say anything, Minos cruelly added, "You probably don't know the look on Smoker's face when I said I was going to find you."

"He was terrified that I would find you, and he wanted to stop me but was powerless to do so. He wanted to speak but couldn't make himself clear, and finally he collapsed, exhausted." (Uh, I feel like I'm really suited to be the villain! (◣_◢))

Minos is provoking Aokiji, trying to shatter his mental defenses.

"As expected, you're courting death." Aokiji was furious after hearing Minos's words.

In an instant, Aokiji's body emitted a chilling aura as he launched an ice ball at Minos.

Minos watched the ice ball without flinching, letting it hit him.

In just a moment, Minos turned into a human-shaped block of ice.

But for Minos, this was still far from enough.

Minos unleashed a powerful burst of energy, instantly shattering the ice.

After emerging, Minos stretched his limbs. Then, looking at Aokiji with amusement, he said, "As expected of a Marine Admiral! You actually managed to make me feel pain!"

Although Aokiji was furious at Minos's provocation, he did not attack rashly, but instead looked at Minos with a serious expression.
