Simultaneous travel: The group is about to be wiped out

Chapter 142 Red Hair Invites Him to Board the Ship

Upon hearing this, Lucky Roux, who had been intently watching the other side, shuddered and hurriedly said, "Boss, what are you doing? How can you let the Marines board the ship? And they're so strong! What if something happens, and they riot and destroy the ship?!"

Faced with Lucky's words, Shanks remained calm, laughed, and reached out to put his hand on his subordinate's fleshy shoulder, offering words of comfort.

"Don't worry, I've seen through this guy. He's not that kind of person. How could someone with a broad mind do such a thing?"

Looking at the jar of wine in his hand and hearing the red-haired man's invitation, a hint of surprise flashed in Chen Feng's eyes. This was interesting.

Jin Han, standing to the side, looked serious and suggested, "Boss, don't bother with this guy. If he and the other cadres join forces, it could be dangerous."

A flash of white light appeared in his eyes, and the true nature of this jar of wine was instantly revealed: pure wine, without any poison.

With his thoughts racing, Chen Feng didn't hesitate. He opened the wine jar, raised it, and tilted it towards his lips.

Wow! !
A large amount of alcohol entered my throat. It wasn't a particularly good wine; it was rich and full-bodied, even with a hint of spiciness, but the aftertaste was sweet and refreshing.

This tastes like wine from the West Sea.

After finishing their drinks, Chen Feng laughed and said, "Let's go. Don't worry, this guy won't do that kind of thing. Even if he does make a move, we might be able to get out of there."

After saying that, he didn't hesitate any longer. He suddenly leaped up, activated Moon Step, and headed towards the red-haired man's ship at an extremely fast speed.

Seeing his boss's actions, Jin Han sighed helplessly, gripped his long sword, and instructed his men behind him: "Pass down the word, don't panic, stay alert, and wait for us to return."

Then, he stepped on the boat plank and used his strength to transform into a sharp arrow, following behind Chen Feng and heading towards the red-haired man's boat.

Upon seeing the two approaching figures, the officers on the ship were all taken aback. Yasopp gripped his musket tightly and couldn't help but exclaim, "This navy man is truly audacious, daring to come towards us with only one person."

Lucky patted his round belly: "Wow, is it really here? Boss, you really dare to invite the Navy up here."

At this moment, all the cadres' eyes fell on the two people in the air.

Even Shanks didn't expect that the other party would come to the ship without much thought.

Seeing this, the redhead's smile widened, and he waved his hand, saying loudly:

"Everyone, our friends are here, let's get ready for a party!"

"Ha, redhead, I never said I was your friend!"

A voice rang out, and Chen Feng, wearing a cloak of justice and holding a wine jar, descended from the sky and landed on the deck.

Then, a whooshing sound rang out, and Jin Han, holding a long sword, landed beside Chen Feng, looking at the various cadres with a hint of wariness in his eyes.

The ship's navigator, Snake, adjusted his glasses and said with a smile, "Oh, boss, it seems this navy officer doesn't give you any face at all."

Seeing this, the redhead showed no anger. He shook his head, raised the wine jar in his hand, and asked, "How is it, friend? Is the wine from my hometown delicious?"

Lifting the wine jar, Chen Feng drank it all in one gulp, chuckled, and said, "Wine from the West Sea, the taste of home. I drank a lot of it when I was young, but this is the first time I've tasted it again after all these years."

"It does seem like we have some kind of connection; we're both from the Western Sea."

Chen Feng was indeed born in the Western Sea. After joining the navy, he made some achievements and was promoted. Later, he was transferred to Marineford to participate in the Marineford War.

…………

Before long, a banquet was held on the Red-Haired Pirates' ship.

The sky is clear and the wind is gentle and gentle.

Numerous delicious foods were laid out, and fine wines were plentiful.

Standing at 2.4 meters tall and as fat as a ball, Rakiro sat there, stuffing food into his mouth rapidly, like a colossal beast, chewing twice before swallowing it whole.

Shanks raised his glass, gestured to Chen Feng ahead, and pointed to the naval warship not far away.

"What? You're not letting your men come along?"

Chen Feng shook his head and took a sip of the wine in his glass: "It's not appropriate. Jin Han and I have special identities. We rely on our strength and don't care about certain things, but it's different for others."

"Moreover, if they all come up, it won't have a good impact, and I won't be able to explain it when I go back. Facing Fleet Admiral Akainu will be another troublesome matter."

"Besides, the supplies on the warships may not be much worse than these things."

The red-haired man stared at the man in front of him, as if he had thought of something, and asked, "I'm curious, someone like you, with such great strength, why did you choose to become a Marine?"

Faced with the question, Chen Feng smiled, took a sip of his drink, and replied, "Oh, someone like me, what kind of person am I, and why can't I choose the Navy?"

"If I don't become a Marine, am I supposed to become a reckless pirate?"

Redhead laughed heartily, downed the wine in his glass in one gulp, and pointed a finger at Chen Feng's chest.

"No, no, I was just curious."

"Believe it or not, one day you will leave the Navy, and that day is not far off."

After saying this, his expression suddenly froze, becoming somewhat solemn. He paused for a moment before speaking again.

"Because you have a free spirit, or rather, you are unwilling to be controlled by others. You have your own ideas. How could someone like you submit to others and obey their will?"

“If it were any other navy personnel, I would never let them board the ship, but you are different. The moment we clashed, I sensed that you were different from the others.”

"There's another thing I wanted to say. If you ever leave the navy, why not come aboard my ship? Don't worry, I know exactly what I'm saying. My words and actions are completely sincere and without any pretense."

These words immediately shocked the surrounding officials.

Lakilu swallowed the chicken leg he had just stuffed into his mouth without even chewing it, making his already small eyes even smaller.

"Boss, what's going on? You're openly poaching Navy personnel!"

Upon hearing this, Jin Han, who was drinking alone, became displeased and immediately gripped his longsword, ready to draw it at any moment.

"Boss, this guy has bad intentions. He's got some nerve, daring to invite us onto the ship."

"You despicable bastard, how dare you! How could my boss possibly submit to your command?"

Seeing this, Beckman, who always served as the ship's strategist, took a drag of his cigarette and said unhurriedly, "Heh, how is it impossible? Doesn't your navy have a precedent? Admiral Aokiji joined the Blackbeard Pirates. Even admirals will submit to pirate crews, let alone a vice admiral. Besides, our pirate crew is much stronger than Blackbeard and his crew."

Although he didn't understand why Shanks had invited him, as the captain's second-in-command, he naturally chose to support him after seeing his boss being contradicted.

Chen Feng raised his hand to stop Jin Han, who was about to continue his rebuttal. He didn't seem to care too much about the red-haired man's invitation, put down his wine glass, and chuckled.

"As you said, how could someone like me submit to others? I have to admit, you're right. There are many things about the Navy and the World Government that I don't approve of." "Before, when my strength and status were low, I could only endure these things, even if I disapproved. Now that I'm stronger, I have more choices, so naturally I want to do what I want to do."

"But I'm sorry, at least for now, I have no intention of leaving the Navy. Even if I did leave, I would not choose to join your pirate crew. Just like you said, my heart is free."

Although he had expected it, being rejected outright still made Shanks sigh. The other person's personality and strength suited his tastes, what a pity.

“What you said is indeed correct, but you must understand one thing: an individual’s strength is ultimately limited, and there will always be a day when one’s strength is insufficient. Only a team can perform better.”

"No matter what, there will always be a place for you on my ship."

Chen Feng nodded, stood up, and gave the red-haired man sitting there a deep look with his dark eyes.

"Thank you for the hospitality, but I have absolute confidence in my abilities. There will be a long time to meet again."

With that, he leaped into the air, using Moonwalk to propel himself towards the warship.

Seeing this, Jin Han finished his last sip of wine and followed suit.

A brief silence fell over the red-haired ship after the two men left.

After the two left, Yasopp asked curiously, "It's rare to see you so eager to get someone on board, especially since the other party is a naval officer. This isn't like your usual style."

Seeing the puzzled looks from his subordinates, Redhead laughed and didn't answer the question. He raised his glass and said, "Come on, let's continue the party! Everyone, keep drinking!"

A moment later, the naval warship slowly started up and left the area.

Watching the pirate ship gradually disappear, Chen Feng sighed softly, as if he had thought of something.

"Jin Han, if you quit the navy, what would you like to do?"

Upon hearing his boss's question, the renowned swordsman, whose fame resounded throughout the new world, was stunned. Then, without the slightest hesitation, he replied directly, "I have nothing I want to do. Boss, you saved me, so my life belongs to you. Wherever you go, I will follow you."

"No need to say anything else, boss. The brothers on this ship have all followed us through thick and thin. We're brothers who have risked our lives for each other. If you give the order, we'd be willing to take off our clothes and become pirates."

Chen Feng didn't say anything in response to Jin Han's answer, he just hummed in agreement and continued looking ahead.

When they are weak, they don't have many ideas; they just follow orders, increase their strength, eliminate pirates, and suppress rebellions.

But now that they are stronger, they think more and their thoughts have become more complicated...

Feeling the power within his body, Chen Feng couldn't help but feel a sense of confusion.

Even with top-tier strength, at this moment, they didn't know where to go or what to do.

They uphold the justice depicted on their capes, but is the Navy's so-called justice truly justice?
This kind of justice, doesn't it still have to be obeyed by those damn Celestial Dragons?!

…………

One day later.

New World, Naval Headquarters, New Marineford.

Since the Marineford War, the original Marineford was destroyed. In order to deter pirates, Fleet Admiral Akainu swapped the location of the main headquarters with the original G1 branch and established a new Marineford.

After mooring the warship, Chen Feng led Jin Han into the headquarters, but the moment they stepped inside, someone came looking for them.

With pink hair, a navy cape, sunglasses, and a cigarette dangling from her lips, her stunning figure was on full display.

【picture】

It was Rear Admiral Tina Kurogane, also known as Hinata due to translation issues.

Tina, holding the newspaper, waved and came to Chen Feng's side. She stood on tiptoe, creating a fragrant breeze, and patted his shoulder.

"Hey, Chen Feng, you really stole the show this time. You actually ran into the Red-Haired Pirates and brought them back unharmed."

"Come on, tell me the details of what happened back then. I'm really curious, Tina."

The two had a fairly good relationship, belonging to the same faction and keeping in frequent contact.

Faced with her persistent harassment, Chen Feng stretched out his finger and flicked it towards her forehead.

"Little friend, knowing too much is not good for you. Alright, I still need to go and report to the marshal. We'll talk later."

With a cry of pain, Tina clutched her forehead and backed away, watching Chen Feng speed away. She was furious: "Chen Feng, you bastard, come back here!"

Hearing the voice behind him, Chen Feng shook his head. With his intervention, the plot had changed. Tina and The Smoker's relationship was just ordinary and had not developed into a romantic one.

It did seem to have a slight tendency towards him, so he could only apologize to the chain smoker in his heart.

Office of the Admiral of the Navy.

When I arrived, I saw Admiral Green Bull walking out.

The moment Green Bull saw Chen Feng, his already gloomy expression darkened even more, as the two had a poor relationship to begin with.

All of this was due to some rumors circulating within the Navy: Akainu had been promoted to Fleet Admiral, Aokiji had left, and two Admiral positions had become vacant.

Due to certain special reasons, the candidates for general Momousagi and Chaton were not considered.

Normally, Chen Feng should have been appointed as the admiral, because he had made enough contributions at that time. In addition, in terms of combat strength, he had defeated Katakuri of the Big Mom Pirates, which clearly showed that he also had the strength of an admiral.

Coincidentally, with the global military recruitment underway, and given the presence of two powerful individuals like Fujitora and Green Bull, it's highly likely that Chen Feng will be chosen as one of them. He's even already decided on a codename: Aries.

The remaining general must be chosen from the two, and without a doubt, Fujitora wins.

Ultimately, however, for various reasons, Chen Feng chose to give up the position of admiral. Personally, it was simple: he hated trouble. The duties of an admiral were more numerous, and he also had to be responsible for the safety of those damned Celestial Dragons.

Therefore, the Green Bulls, who were originally not selected, were promoted to the top spot.

Rumors then spread that Green Bull's general was someone Chen Feng disdained to take and had given to him.

From then on, Green Bull harbored resentment.

The moment he saw the other party, Green Bull revealed a mocking smile: "Oh, what's this? You managed to survive encountering the Red-Haired Pirates, one of the Four Emperors? You probably begged for mercy to get them to let you go, right?"

Faced with the mockery, Chen Feng raised his head, his black eyes sweeping over Green Bull. In an instant, white flames erupted, and a powerful aura burst forth, locking onto Green Bull. He chuckled softly.

"What kind of trash are you? If it weren't for the clothes you're wearing, I would have killed you already. Get lost!"
