Pirates of the Navy Thunder God

Chapter 670 Akainu: I'll tell you a secret (23)

Naval Headquarters, Marineford.

"I didn't expect you to come visit me..."

Ron was surprised for a second, then stood aside at the door and said, "Come in, General Aokiji."

"excuse me!"

Aokiji nodded, stepped into the courtyard, and greeted Zephyr who was sitting on a lounge chair basking in the sun.

"Teacher Zefa, long time no see."

"Oh? It's Aokiji? Are you here to eat for free too?"

Qing Pheasant: "..."

With a slight bitter smile, Aokiji shook his head and looked at Ron, who was wearing a cloak of justice and had dragon patterns carved on his shoulder badges. "General Canglong, can I talk to you alone?"

"of course can!"

In the courtyard room, the two sat opposite each other. Ron made a pot of hot tea for Aokiji, and then he picked up a bottle of juice and sipped it with relish.

Looking at the tea stems standing upright in the cup, Aokiji smiled helplessly and said, "I'm here to thank you, Ron."

"Marshal... Mr. Zhan Guo has told me the truth. Although it seems to me now that it is only a possibility, if it really causes immeasurable losses to the navy, I think I will definitely regret it."

During the time when he was recovering from his injuries, Sengoku, who had put down his burden, secretly found Aokiji and told him Ron's true intentions.

After understanding the whole truth of the matter, I can't say I was moved. Aokiji is not such a superficial man.

But he was very grateful to Ron!

Thanks to him for motivating himself by playing the villain in order to help the Navy preserve its strength.

"Admiral Aokiji, you are too kind. This is my duty as a marine."

Ron said with a straight face, then grinned and said, "Besides, although it has nothing to do with me, the thunderstorm that caused your final defeat always felt like God was deliberately targeting me."

"I hope you don't hate me for this."

Qing Pheasant: "..."

My injury hasn't healed completely yet... Can you not rub salt into the wound? ! !
(╯‵ ′)╯︵┻━┻

Aokiji looked at Ron with a depressed look, which made the latter feel guilty.

After a long silence, Aokiji shook his head, stood up and said with a smile: "Okay, I feel much better after talking about it."

"In the days ahead, you and I will both be great generals. Let us encourage each other!"

"No problem, no problem..."

Ron picked up the water glass, drank juice instead of wine, and gestured to Aokiji from a distance.

Watching Ron close the door and return to the courtyard, Zephyr leisurely sipped his tea and raised his eyelids.

"Leaving now?"

"What else? Still keep him for dinner?"

Ron rolled his eyes at this: "Brother Xiu Zuo only bought enough food for us today, whose portion do you think should be given to him?"

"Tch, stingy!"

Zefa shook his head and was about to say something.

Suddenly, a sense of threat came from nowhere, and they both turned around at the same time and looked at the wall of the courtyard.

"Oh, I'm afraid I won't be able to have a peaceful meal tonight!"

Zefa smacked his lips, stood up from the recliner, and put one hand behind his back.

"I'm going to the back to smoke a cigarette...don't tell Ain!"

"…Don't worry! She has been invited by Vice Admiral Momosaki to attend a girls' gathering, so she has no time to bother with a bunch of grown men like us!"

Ron responded angrily.

At this moment, the momentum of the two confrontations suddenly dissipated, causing a breeze to blow and sway the willows.

Boom, boom, boom!

There was another knock on the door. Ron answered and walked over to open it.

"Come in, Marshal!"

"Excuse me!"

Akainu is still dressed in the plum-red suit, the cloak of justice, and the baseball cap.

However, the pattern on the epaulettes told the world that the man in front of them was no longer the famous "Admiral" Akainu, but the current supreme commander of the Navy Headquarters, the Navy Admiral!

Striding into the courtyard, Akainu took the first seat at Ron's signal. Without even taking a sip of water, he immediately said, "There's something I want to entrust to you, Ron."

"Why can't I be notified to go to the office? Do you need to come alone?"

Ron asked, frowning silently.

"This matter needs to be kept secret. I don't trust anyone else with it, and I can't let any news leak out."

"Marshal, please speak!"

Seeing that Akainu was speaking so seriously, Ron couldn't help but become serious as well and sat waiting.

"I suspect..." Akainu carefully observed the surroundings and confirmed that there were no ears on the wall. He then whispered, "Something has happened to the Celestial Dragons!"

Ron: "..."

(￣△￣)

What expression do you think I should use?
At times like this, all you need to do is smile... What the hell!

"What...what do you mean?"

Ron suppressed his inner desire to complain, and asked with a twitching mouth: "Is it 'they'? Not 'one'?"

"That's right!"

Akainu mistook Ron's silence for surprise, nodded in understanding, and explained: "The death of Saint Musgard last time was blamed on Bartholomew Bear, so the Five Elders asked all the Celestial Dragons to stay in the holy land for protection and not to go out."

No, to be precise, it is imprisonment...

Ron complained in his heart.

"But did you notice, Ron?"

"The Tianlong people have not appeared outside the Holy Land for half a year!"

Akainu said solemnly: "For six consecutive months, he has not set foot in the Holy Land. He has even disappeared in the Holy Land and rarely appears. With the style of the Celestial Dragons... don't you think it's strange?"

"Yes...it's quite strange."

Ron calmed down and said, "But Marshal, you also know how serious the impact of Orrick's betrayal is, right? It's not surprising that the lord locked them up for a year or so, right?"

There is no doubt that Akainu knew about Im's existence. Even if he didn't know it before, he should have known it now that he had to go to the holy land to be canonized as a marshal.

"No, it feels different to me than detention."

Akainu shook his head and explained: "Most of them simply disappeared without leaving any trace."

"Even if he was put in solitary confinement, there should have been some movement in Pangu City, but there was none."

"So... you want me to mobilize the assassination team to go to the Holy Land to investigate?"

This is a bit... overstepping the line, Sakaski!
"No!"

Unexpectedly, Akainu didn't mean that. He glared at him and said, "You'd better not even think about doing something that is so outrageous!"

Ron: "..."

After a brief pause, Akainu said seriously, "After checking the timeline, I found that the disappearance of the Celestial Dragons occurred around the time of Jason's execution. Therefore, I have reason to suspect that Orrick must have done something to the Celestial Dragons, forcing them to hide!"

"The reason you told us now is just a cover-up to hide the truth!"

Seeing that Ron seemed to understand and was listening carefully, Akainu felt a sense of satisfaction.

No wonder everyone wants to be a marshal.

So this is what it feels like?
So cool!

Even the navy commander Soryu had to listen carefully, but he didn't have this treatment when he was an admiral... Wait, that's not right!

Akainu was startled.

When I was a general, Ron was just a lieutenant general. Why wasn't he afraid of me at all?
Why?
Akainu couldn't figure it out.

However, he quickly put aside the chaotic thoughts in his mind and said seriously: "So Ron, I hope you can arrange some trustworthy people in the assassination team to shift the focus to finding Orrick."

"We must find out the truth as soon as possible! If necessary, we must prepare for the worst!"

If something really happens to the Celestial Dragons, it will be an unprecedented storm!

As a marshal, Akainu believes it is his obligation to make adequate preparations for the bad future that might happen.

Even though the situation is unclear now, the Five Elders did not tell him the truth.

"understand!"

Ron saluted solemnly and nodded in agreement.

"I suddenly realized that this matter can actually be used to write something."

Ron thought to himself.

"It's a pity that the time is not right now, otherwise..."

"Then I'll leave it to you, Ron! Don't betray my trust in you!"

Akainu works quickly and decisively. He comes and goes in a hurry. After he finished speaking, he nodded to Zephyr who was walking over, then turned and left.

When he reached the gate, he suddenly stopped, turned around and said.

"By the way, Mr. Sengoku has already told me the truth about Aokiji..."

"Thank you for your hard work, Ron!"

After saying that, Akainu pulled down the brim of his hat, then pushed the door open and left.

Ron sat in his seat in a daze, and it took him a while to come back to his senses. He held the broken teacup in his hand and smiled.

"Haha, Warring States!!!"

Put your head over here, and I'll give you a permanent buff!
I'll post two more chapters first, Dashu will have a meal first...I'll eat noodles at home today and won't go out. Damn, I was really screwed last time.
