Pirate: It's reasonable for me to simulate a Super Saiyan, right?

Thus, under Akainu's strong push, the Navy began a global recruitment drive.

In the blink of an eye, the news spread all over the world.

……

And just as the world began its conscription process.

The One Piece Expo is in full swing.

After half a day of gathering, the number of pirates present had soared to over 100,000.

A man with a gloomy face and an afro appeared on the podium.

He is none other than Buena Festa, the organizer of the Pirate Expo.

Looking at the pirates present, a cold glint flashed in Buena Festa's eyes.

His voice then resounded throughout the entire island.

"Distinguished guests, I am Buena Festa, and now I will reveal the prizes for this competition..."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Buena Festa, including Aokiji.

Among the crowd, Bucky's eyes burned with excitement; he loved this kind of competition the most.

I wonder what kind of treasure the prize will be?

Countless people showed their anticipation, after all, the prizes offered by the Pirate Expo have always been extraordinary.

But when the answer was revealed, it still shocked everyone.

"Ta-da! The prize for this competition is a permanent pointer that records Laugh Tale!!!"

As Buena Festa finished speaking, the entire venue fell silent.

Immediately afterwards, a deafening roar of cheers erupted.

"What!?"

"Laugh Tale, the final island!?"

"There's a permanent pointer there!"

"OMG!!!"

"Don't anyone try to take it from me, it's mine!!"

The pirates were all extremely excited.

They were certainly familiar with the name Raphdru.

That's the name of the final island!

In other words, as long as you obtain this permanent pointer, you can easily go to Laugh Tale and become the Pirate King!

Undoubtedly, the prize this time was a huge surprise and caused a sensation throughout the venue!

Next, almost without Buena Festa's reminder, countless pirate ships began chasing and competing in the arena.

The One Piece Expo has officially begun!

Chapter 288 Aokiji's Purpose, The Red-Haired Gang Arrives!

On the turbulent sea, a magnificent scene of thousands of sails racing is unfolding.

"Hahaha, the permanent pointer is ours!!"

"Charge! The throne of the Pirate King is beckoning us!"

"No one can take it from us, kill them!"

Countless pirates compete and fight.

The azure sea was quickly stained blood red.

This scene instantly drew cheers and shouts from the crowd.

In the frenzied atmosphere, countless pirates went berserk.

of course.

Some were sober.

For example, the Pakistani gang.

Currently, because of their fame, no pirates have attacked them.

Seeing this, Bucky was naturally happy to have some peace and quiet.

If we could seize the permanent pointer without fighting, that would be ideal.

As for Crocodile and Hawkeye, they currently disdain to make a move, merely observing their opponents, especially Aokiji.

I don't know why this former admiral came to join in the fun.

Riding a bicycle through countless pirate ships, he stood out from the crowd.

Like Buggy and his crew, the surrounding pirates also instinctively avoided Aokiji.

No wonder.

Compared to Bucky's crew, Aokiji is probably a greater threat at sea.

Even if Hawkeye can cut down ships, he probably can't compare to this former admiral who can freeze the sea at the drop of a hat!

If you mess with this person, the Pirate Expo might not even be able to proceed smoothly!

Therefore, even the unruly pirate supernovas did not provoke Aokiji.

Kidd was also controlling the metal, smashing it away from Aokiji.

"What is this guy doing here?"

Watching Aokiji's figure, Bucky the Clown stroked his chin, pondering.

Crocodile, puffing on his cigar, suddenly gave a smug laugh: "Why think so much? Just go and ask."

"You're right, eh?"

Bucky responded instinctively, then realized what he meant and his expression changed drastically.

But it's too late.

"Sandstorm!!"

Crocodile suddenly waved his hand toward the sea at the stern of the ship.

A clump of sand flew out, grew rapidly, and fell into the sea.

The originally turbulent sea surface suddenly expanded, forming a tornado.

The terrifying kinetic energy propelled the ship towards Aokiji's location in an instant.

"Why!!??"

Bucky turned pale, and his men were terrified.

Hawkeye, however, remained unfazed upon seeing this, merely glancing at Aokiji with a glint in his eyes.

He was also curious about the former admiral's motives.

Since that's the case, there's no harm in testing the waters.

And so, the pirate ship quickly broke through the crowd and arrived at Aokiji's side.

Bucky and his men trembled at the sight of that leisurely figure.

Pakistani, in particular, trembled as he recalled his experience in the Marineford War.

In this Marineford War, the Navy didn't fare well because of Yang Hao.

However, when the battle raged, Buggy was still affected and frozen by Aokiji.

By the time he was revived by his men, the Marineford War was already over.

For this reason, Bucky is more afraid of Aokiji than Yang Hao.

His ability to tear things apart was completely countered by his opponent.

At this moment, Aokiji naturally noticed the pirate ship approaching.

The bicycle beneath him paused slightly as he looked over.

Crocodile wasn't intimidated. He stood on the bow of the ship, looking down at Aokiji.

"Kuzan, I heard you left the Navy and are now showing up here. Are you going to become a pirate?"

Upon hearing this, the surroundings immediately fell silent.

Bucky and the others held their breath, anxiously awaiting an answer.

The pirates nearby couldn't help but turn their gazes towards it.

In fact, they were also very curious about this issue.

Previously, no one dared to ask questions, but now that Crocodile has taken care of it, it's naturally the best thing.

Upon hearing this, Aokiji raised an eyebrow, pondered for a moment, and then replied, "Pirates, perhaps."

Upon hearing this, the surrounding pirates all changed their expressions.

The pirate world is already in turmoil and turmoil.

If Aokiji joins them, it won't be a good thing for them.

Putting aside the distant future, even right now, if Aokiji were to try and take the permanent pointer from them, it would be a huge problem.

Bucky and the others realized this as well, their expressions changed again, and they even became somewhat frightened.

Crocodile, after his initial surprise, grinned and said, "Is that so? It seems you're also after the eternal pointer. That's quite interesting."

In Crocodile's view, although there were many pirates present, none of them could compete with them.

With Luffy not present, he wouldn't even glance at the other Supernovas.

But now, with the addition of Aokiji, things are getting interesting.
