I'm in One Piece, and I'm Luffy's childhood friend.

Robin lowered her head and closed her eyes. "He is a Logia-type Ice-Ice Fruit user who is also an Ice Man."

"This is the power of a Marine Admiral!!"

Despite his astonishing feat, Aokiji remained calm and composed, rising and turning back.

"This situation can last for a week, let's take it slow."

"I hope you can reunite with your people soon. It might be a bit cold, so warm yourself up before you go."

His words were full of concern, truly proving the saying that the most enthusiastic people reap the coldest rewards.

Donggit was stunned, staring at the miraculous scene before him. "Shirley, the sea...it's frozen over! We can cross the sea now! We can see the villagers! We haven't seen them for ten years..."

"Hiss."

Shirley responded.

Once he fully realized what was happening, Dongjit happily raised his hands.

"Thank you!! Thank you so much!! This is simply an incredible miracle!!"

Faced with Dongjit's excited gratitude, Aokiji waved his hand and walked straight back onto the grassland.

"Great, uncle, horse, hahahaha."

Luffy is happy for Dongjit.

"I also want to thank you. If it weren't for you, I'd still be on stilts right now."

"Then let's go."

"Thank you so much!! I will remember this kindness forever!!!"

Dongjila pulled Lala along to the next island. Parting is inevitable. The Straw Hat Pirates have parted ways with many people along their journey. As for whether they will meet again in the future, that is a matter of fate.

"farewell."

"take care."

"Remember not to walk on stilts anymore."

Everyone bid farewell to Donggit, especially the last reminder, which is very important.

.........

They didn't leave the shore until Donggit's figure disappeared.

Back on the grassland, Aokiji was sitting there waiting for them. He had seen Donggit off so that he could have a proper talk with Luffy and the others.

Aokiji scratched his head. "Well, Monkey D. Luffy, you're a lot like your grandfather."

"Should I describe it as passionate and unrestrained, or as unpredictable?"

Speaking of Garp, Luffy is indeed very flustered; he got PTSD from being beaten up as a child.

"grandfather!"

"Luffy's grandfather."

Usopp found it strange that a Marine Admiral knew about Luffy's grandfather.

"Also, Luffy, what's wrong with you? Why are you sweating all over?"

"No, it's nothing, this..."

Luffy didn't know how to answer. Was he afraid? No, how could he admit it?!

"And you, Montenos D. White."

"From what I've heard, you should be a smart, cheerful, and somewhat shrewd person. How come you don't seem like that now?"

After talking about Luffy, Aokiji turned his gaze to Bai Yun.

Bai Yun seemed flustered when he didn't hear Garp's name.

“I’ve heard the old man mention you before. You guys, or rather, I asked out of curiosity myself.”

"As for why I look so cold right now, it's because I don't need to be so enthusiastic in front of strangers,"

"Besides, you are a Marine Admiral, while we are pirates."

Qingzhi nodded.

"That makes sense."

"Being too kind to strangers just makes you look like a fool."

"I received a lot of help from your grandfather before."

"I came here to see Nico Robin, and also to see you all."

After thinking it over and over...

Aokiji's expression suddenly turned cold and somber.

"You might as well...die here!!"

Chapter 424 That's a good reason.

"You might as well...die here!!"

Aokiji was just moments ago warm and friendly, helping the old man cross the road (by sea), but as soon as the old man left, his face changed, and he came over with murderous intent.

"It seems that the admiral is not a man of his word."

"Or are you trying to say that what happened just now was just now, and what happened now is different from what was said at the uncle's doorstep?"

Bai Yun shook his head, his eyes showing obvious disdain.

Aokiji didn't care about the way a pirate looked at him; on the contrary, he thought...

"Hey! That's a good reason."

"I was originally planning to be shameless, but now I have a reason. Thank you."

Bai Yun: "........"

Sure enough, when it comes to navigating the world of gangsters, he's no match for these "veterans."

"The government has not yet noticed the danger you are in."

"But after careful study, I found that you all have a lot of backbone."

"Although there are not many of you, once you gather together, you will definitely become a great hidden danger in the future."

"From the initial incident of being wanted by the authorities to your actions during this period, and the speed of your growth during this time..."

"Even I, who have dealt with thugs for a long time, think the future is unimaginable."

Aokiji's "sentencing" was almost like a compliment, like a sleeping Nine-Tails suddenly being grabbed by the neck and told, "You're too strong, I need to seal you away."

Being too strong is also a sin.

(A complaint from a Nine-Tailed Fox: You, a mere wooden doll, grabbed me with one hand? That's too strong! Don't you even listen to what you're saying?! Who's stronger?!)

Aokiji meant that Luffy and his crew were very courageous and grew rapidly, and that such people, as the opposing force, should be eliminated as soon as possible.

"What makes me feel particularly dangerous... is you, Nico Robin!!"

Aokiji continued.

Luffy disagreed with this.

"So you really did come for Robin!!!"

Ignoring Luffy, Aokiji continued talking to Robin.

"The amount of the bounty not only indicates the strength of the person being bountyd, but also shows the level of threat that person poses to the world government."

"So, you were already wanted by us when you were only eight years old."

"A child who has survived to this day, who would have fled when betrayed, and who would have been exploited by any means necessary when taken in..."

"You survive in the underworld by using this kind of opportunistic approach."

"So, the hiding place you chose this time is right among these guys!!"

Although what Aokiji said was harsh, it was true. But it's admirable that Robin could do this at the age of eight.

"Hey! The way you talk is really annoying!! What deep-seated grudge does Sister Robin have against you?!"

Sanji couldn't take it anymore, but Usopp immediately grabbed him, "No, no!! That guy is a Marine Admiral!! Look, the sea is frozen!!!"

"I don't have any grudge against her. She escaped from me once before, but that's all in the past."

"You will soon understand your situation, and soon you will regret taking in such a troublesome woman."

"The evidence is... all the organizations that have ever been associated with Nico Robin... have been wiped out!!"

"Of course, except for this woman."

"Why is that, Nico Robin?"

Aokiji's words were a veiled criticism of Robin. Everyone else was dead, and only Robin survived, clearly implying that she had betrayed her organization.

"Shut up!!"

"Before is before! Now is now!!"

Luffy has this kind of personality. No matter what his crewmates have done before, once they've accepted him and become his crewmates, he doesn't care anymore.

Aokiji raised an eyebrow. "So you guys have gotten to know each other this well already!"

Robin couldn't stand it anymore.

"What exactly do you want?!"

"If you're going to take action, then arrest me!!!"

"Thirty-six wheels..."

"Sister Robin!"

After saying that, Robin made her move. Her childhood experiences and knowledge of Aokiji's strength made it impossible for her to remain calm.

However, as she raised her arm, Bai Yun grabbed it.

Feeling the warmth from Bai Yun's palm, Robin calmed down a little, only to see Bai Yun shake his head.
