One Piece Fire Dragon Roar - Chapter 271
“Fire Dragon——”
The voice of the woman named Ain sounded like she was gnashing her teeth, and the anger that was ready to burst out began to gather in her chest. Unspeakable but extremely strong feelings began to stir in her chest!
“VLAD!!!”
It was as if there were real flames shooting out of his mouth with the words, Ain’s tone was as hot as a powder keg, really hot! The searing heat that wanted to burn Vlad alive!
The navy standing on the deck reacted the moment Vlad appeared, with cold sweat on their faces. As members of the pirate guerrillas galloping in the new world, they were very familiar with the big pirate on the sea. We are familiar with each other. There is no reason not to recognize Vlad. After all, although it sounds unreliable, the Shichibukai is an organization that is on par with the Yonko of the Navy Headquarters.
Although they were scared and their hands were shaking, the guns in the hands of these marines were still pointed at Vlad!
“Uh-haha, it’s me, it’s been so long! Miss Ain! Oh la la, you’re so enthusiastic!”
Vlad smiled softly, with some nostalgia in his eyes. Two years had passed since the last time they met! Meeting again on the vast sea can really be said to be a bit nostalgic. Sure enough, as long as we are on the sea, we will always meet again. Vlad has always believed so!
Since they have met now, it means that the great sea wants them to meet again! Vlad enjoyed the feeling of meeting again after a long while, even if he met an enemy. After all, in such a vast sea, meeting someone he knew was already a touching thing that could make people cry! Who cares what kind of person they meet?
So Vlad is in a good mood now.
Completely different from Vlad who was in a good mood, Ain was in a very complicated mood now.
She’s livid. The man in front of him is not a simple guy. Ain will never forget what happened two years ago. Her father-figure, Mr. Zephyr, was blown away by this guy!
For young Ain, this scene is like the end of the world, like the collapse of her faith. Just seeing the miserable look of the seventy-year-old teacher Zephyr is sad enough for her!
However, what makes Ain even more uncomfortable is that she has already been prepared to protect Teacher Zephyr, and has been prepared to be an iron wall in front of him. However, all her resistance In the eyes of the other party, they are all pale and feeble!
Then, up to now, this powerlessness has not weakened at all. Now this man is no longer a simple pirate. Now this guy is a famous strong man on the sea. His slightest movement can cause the sea to tremble. A Shichibukai. A real big pirate!
But looking back at herself, Ain suddenly felt a little depressed. She almost lost an arm even when she faced an ordinary pirate group in the New World.
Really, vexing! It was already unforgivable since he had obviously hurt Mr. Zephyr, but he was accepted by the government and became the Shichibukai, becoming a nominal ally of the navy!
“Vlad the Fire Dragon, one of the Shichibukai,”
Ain forcibly suppressed the anger in her heart. The navy and pirates have always been opposed. The two have always fought on the sea. However, the only exception is the Shichibukai!
“What do you want to do here!?”
“Um? It’s actually nothing.”
Vlad smiled, “I’m just a little tired from flying and very hungry, so when I saw the navy fleet below, I am also a Shichibukai now, right? It shouldn’t be a problem to hitch a ride on a navy warship, right?”
“What on earth do you think the navy is?”
Ain said, “How could a just warship carry pirates!”
“Eh? Oi oi oi, c’mon now?”
Vlad smiled, “No matter what, I am still the Shichibukai, right? I am also an ally of your navy, right? Are you unwilling to agree to such a small request?”
“Shichibukai——”
Ain was suddenly silent. The birth of the Shichibukai was never what the navy wanted to see. The so-called legal pirates were just a joke. Pirates were just pirates after all. Can they really have the same heart as the navy?
However, the Shichibukai are needed by the government. The government needs the Shichibukai to balance this chaotic sea. The number of pirates is growing like an explosion. Even the World Government, which has ruled the world for eight hundred years, is somewhat unprepared. Even if it has the power of the whole world, but it is still a bit stretched when facing the pirates who are also pouring into the sea from all over the world!
“Ha,”
Ain smiled sarcastically, “Shichibukai, what a powerful guy, but maybe your name is useful in other places, but if you want to use such a disgusting identity to act recklessly on the ship of Navy, you’re pushing your luck!”
“Hey~”
Vlad smiled, “The navy really upholds justice! However, it seems that it is not your turn to speak on this ship!”
“Wha–“
Ain’s expression changed.
“Here comes a great guy!”
Heavy footsteps came from the cabin. An old man with purple hair, wearing a purple suit and a huge mechanical arm on his right arm, walked out of the cabin! Behind him was a man who had been beaten two years ago.
“Oh oh oh, long time no see! Mr. Zeph!”
Vlad looked very excited, as if he wanted to go to Zephyr and say hello to him!
“Stay away from Teacher!”
Ain stopped directly in front of Vlad, her moving eyes staring into Vlad’s eyes without blinking.
Vlad wanted to laugh inexplicably. This girl was like a little puppy trying to protect her mother. She was really cute.
“Get out of the way! Woman!”
As if he was petting a cat, Vlad reached out his hand and held down Ain’s head. He gently moved the woman behind him and walked directly in front of Zephyr.
It has been two years since the last time they met. Zephyr, now 71, looks no different than he did then. There is still a will as firm as steel in his eyes, and the flame of justice is always in his heart.
“Oh, who did I think it was,”
Zephyr said lightly, “It’s you, kid!”
“Fire Dragon! Don’t you dare!!”
Ain, who was accidentally pushed behind Vlad, rushed to Vlad in one stride, red light already flashing in her hands.
“Oh?”
Vlad narrowed his eyes slightly, “Do you want to fight?”
“Ain, stand down!”
The voice of a man named Zephyr broke the tense atmosphere.
