Chapter 401 Slippery Fruit
"What, he can't even win against Hawkeye, this guy."
Marshal Sengoku's face changed after hearing Crane's report at the Navy Headquarters. Sengoku himself didn't care about Shen Fei, who replaced Crocodile. Anyway, it was a dog-eat-dog fight between pirates, and the Navy was happy to watch the fun.
But after Shen Fei and Hawkeye fought evenly, the situation was completely different. It was too easy for the Navy to suppress an ordinary Shichibukai, and even the admiral didn't need to take action. A few elite vice admirals could handle it. But if it was a person of Hawkeye's level, an admiral couldn't deal with it at all.
And in comparison, Shen Fei was more dangerous than Hawkeye, because compared to Hawkeye's loneliness, Shen Fei had power, that is to say, as long as Shen Fei wanted, he could pull out a Four Emperors group.
The core of the Four Emperors group was the Four Emperors, and the power under them was just icing on the cake. People like the four generals of the dessert and the three disasters, who had such strength, were not many in the entire sea, but not too few.
Without the combat power of the Four Emperors, no matter how many people there are, they will not be called the Four Emperors Pirate Group, just like the Whitebeard Pirate Group. When Whitebeard was still alive, it was the strongest Four Emperors Group, but with the death of Whitebeard, the Whitebeard Pirate Group was instantly beaten to dust.
As long as you are willing, you can still find a few such subordinates on this sea. Look at the world conscription after the war on the top, and two new admirals have emerged casually.
For the navy, the Seven Warlords of the Sea don’t matter, but if a Four Emperors group emerges, it will be completely different, especially at this time when the prestige of the navy has been greatly reduced by Shen Fei, a new Four Emperors Pirate Group is too threatening to the navy.
Although Shen Fei’s previous large-scale distribution of leaflets and the killing of the Celestial Dragons have not had a far-reaching impact now, they are like a seed, buried deep in the hearts of many people. If there is a suitable opportunity, it will burst out completely.
The prestige of the senior officers of the Navy Headquarters was very high in the past, but after being messed up by Shen Fei, the prestige of the senior officers of the Navy Headquarters was greatly reduced. No matter how good the starting point and original intention of Zhan Guo and others were, their improper conduct would greatly reduce all their actions.
That is, the military force in the pirate world is too strong. If it were changed to an ordinary world, with those leaflets of Shen Fei, I am afraid that the war would have started long ago.
"Donghai, what are these two guys doing there?" Garp said with a smile while eating senbei.
"What to do? According to the situation, they saw your grandson." Seeing Garp's attitude that it had nothing to do with me, Zhan Guo immediately exploded.
As for Luffy, Zhan Guo had known him for a long time. After all, he was Garp's grandson and Dragon's son. The incident of Axe King Monka some time ago made this name appear on Zhan Guo's desk.
Of course, in fact, the name Luffy first appeared in front of Zhan Guo, and the time was even earlier. As early as when the Red Hair Pirates were stationed in Windmill Town, Zhan Guo saw this name.
The Red Hair Pirates are one of the Four Emperors. Even if Red Hair has never caused any trouble, the Navy will not give up monitoring him. The Four Emperors have always had surveillance ships following them.
The Red Hair Pirates stayed in Windmill Town for more than a year. During that time, Sengoku lost a lot of hair. Sengoku is known as a wise general, and smart people have a common characteristic, that is, they think a lot.
In fact, it was not only Sengoku who thought a lot at that time. Many people on the sea were wondering what the Red Hair Pirates were doing in Windmill Town for so long.
As for eating, drinking, and having fun on the island, and picking up girls by the way, this is something that many people would not believe. The most widely circulated saying at the time was that there might be items left by the former Pirate King Roger in Windmill Town, so the Red Hair Pirates stayed there for a year.
That is, Windmill Town is Garp's hometown, which is why it has been safe and sound. If it were to other places, I am afraid that once the Red Hair Pirates left, other people would be able to turn the entire island upside down.
During the period when Pirate King Roger was executed, the places Roger had been to were almost searched by the World Government, the Navy, and some pirates.
Roger was dead, but many people coveted the logbook of Roger's pirate group and whether Roger left a permanent pointer to the location of the Great Secret Po Raftel.
"That stinky boy." When Luffy was mentioned, the senbei in Garp's hand suddenly became a little unsavory. He wanted Luffy to be a navy, but he ran away to be a pirate. Garp knew his grandson's character very well. Once it was decided, a hundred sea kings could not pull it back.
"Shanks, that bastard boy." Thinking of Luffy being completely led astray by Red-haired Shanks, Garp had the urge to find Red-haired Shanks to practice boxing.
"Aokiji, you go." After sighing softly, Sengoku stopped caring about Garp. During this period, he was not comfortable with the position of Navy Admiral, and Garp was not comfortable as a Navy hero.
Because Shen Fei has revealed the truth about Roger's arrest. He turned himself in because he was seriously ill. It was not as the Navy claimed that he was caught by Garp.
For most ordinary people, Garp's title of Navy hero is because he captured the Pirate King. Only a few people know that it is related to the Rocks Pirates.
Shen Fei has not leaked this matter yet, so we can't reveal too much information at one time.
"I understand." Aokiji said as he stretched out his long legs and stood up.
"What are these two guys doing here?" At the Navy's garrison in Rogue Town, Smoker's mouth was filled with smoke and his brows were furrowed. The two Shichibukai came to his jurisdiction together, which made him feel that something big might happen in Rogue Town.
So he reported the situation to the Navy Headquarters as soon as possible, but the headquarters was a little far away from Rogue Town. Even if someone came to support, it would not be able to arrive in a short time.
Fortunately, neither Shen Fei nor Hawkeye had the idea of exposing their whereabouts, so the situation in Rogue Town did not change.
"I am the one who wants to become the Pirate King." Luffy, who was caught by Buggy and others and was about to be executed on the execution platform of Roger, the former Pirate King of Rogue Town, shouted this sentence loudly, and at the same time showed a bright smile.
This smile made Smoker and Hawkeye below slightly stunned. There are not many people in the pirate world who are not afraid of death, but there are not many people who can still show such a bright smile before death.
"Baki, this guy, is really interesting." On the execution platform where Roger was executed, Luffy was executed. It doesn't matter if it was someone else. After all, Roger has been dead for more than 20 years. When the great treasure is still not found, many people regard Roger as a big liar and may be disrespectful to the execution platform.
But Buggy is different. He respects Roger very much in his heart. How can such a person not be so disrespectful to the place where Roger is executed?
Not to mention that Luffy has a straw hat with red hair. That is Roger's straw hat. Buggy can't fail to recognize it.
"Lucky King Buggy, maybe I have also made the common mistake of smart people and think too much."
Boom.
Just when Buggy was about to attack Luffy, a bolt of lightning suddenly appeared in the sky and struck the execution platform, knocking Buggy, Luffy and others away. As the user of the rubber fruit, Luffy was immune to lightning, so he was naturally unharmed. Buggy's hair immediately exploded.
"Hmm." Hawkeye's eyes immediately swept to a direction on the left. Others, including Smoker, had no idea why lightning suddenly appeared, but they could not hide it from Hawkeye. Following Hawkeye's sharp eyes, a tall figure covered in a green cloak unexpectedly looked at Shen Fei and Hawkeye, and then disappeared.
"Catch them all." The sudden lightning caused chaos at the scene, but under Smoker's smoke fruit and the navy's sea stone net gun, a large number of pirates were captured.
Buggy, Alrita and others saw the opportunity early, and used other pirates as shields and escaped.
Buggy used the Split Fruit to escape, while Alrita used the Slippery Fruit to slide barefoot on the ground quickly, so fast that ordinary navy could not catch up.
If Smoker was still there, he might not be able to escape, but unfortunately, Smoker went to chase Luffy. The order from the Navy Headquarters must not let Luffy enter the Grand Line.
"The development of this fruit is really a waste." Seeing that Alrita still needs to take off her shoes to use the power of the fruit, Shen Fei couldn't help but shake his head slightly. Generally speaking, clothes and other items on the body of the superhuman fruit will not affect the performance of the devil fruit ability, just like when Luffy's arms stretch, his clothes will also stretch.
But now Alrita needs to take off her shoes to use her ability, which is enough to show how low the development of her fruit is. Of course, there is another possibility, that is, she has just obtained this ability not long ago, and Alrita will not need to take off her shoes when using her ability later.
This situation reminded Shen Fei of a woman who had eaten the Paste Fruit. When she used her ability, she had to take off her clothes. As a result, she was locked in a bottle by Nami. This was probably the weakest of all devil fruit users, even weaker than the Swamp Fruit that was locked in a barrel by the Straw Hat Pirates.
With the ability of the Slippery Fruit, if a physical master eats it, it will definitely make his strength even better. Its ability is to make all objects that come into contact with the skin slide away, that is, attacks can also slide away.
If it can be awakened, then there is no need to say more. Ordinary enemies may not be able to stand up in front of it. Compared with this ability, its beauty effect is secondary.
Of course, this is for men. If it is a woman, the beauty effect is the most important, and the others are secondary.
In an alley in Rogue Town under the storm, Smoker just restrained Luffy, and then he found that a tall stranger appeared behind him. He pressed Smoker's shoulder with one hand and suppressed him completely unable to move.
"Hey, it's so lively here." Just when Smoker was about to speak, Shen Fei and Hawkeye appeared in the alley together.
"Who are you?" Luffy, who had just escaped, saw Shen Fei and Hawkeye and immediately waved loudly at the two of them, wanting to greet them, but the next moment, a gust of wind blew and Luffy's figure disappeared with the wind.
"What a powerful ability." At this moment, not only was there a gust of wind here, but the whole Rogue Town was blowing a gust of wind. Under this gust of wind, all the pirates captured by the navy were blown away, but no one on the navy side was blown away.
"Monkey d Dragon, Monkey d Luffy, that's it." After Luffy was blown away, Smoker also easily escaped from Dragon's palm.
At this time, Smoker finally discovered Luffy's identity.
However, facing the world government's most wanted criminal, Smoker had no intention of taking action. The gap in strength between the two sides was too big.
The navy is not just about catching pirates, dealing with the Revolutionary Army is also the navy's task. In terms of the bounty amount, Dragon's bounty is much higher than that of the Four Emperors.
"Another person is coming." Following Shen Fei's words, Smoker immediately turned to the direction Shen Fei was looking at. As for Dragon and Hawkeye, they found that the speed of the people coming was not slower than Shen Fei.
"Yo, it's so lively here." The same words appeared again, but this time it was not said by Shen Fei, but from the Navy Admiral Aokiji.
"Admiral Kuzan." Seeing Aokiji appear, Smoker immediately greeted him, but just when Smoker wanted to say something, Aokiji waved his hand and motioned him to stand behind him.
"I remember that the Seven Warlords of the Sea have the duty to assist the Navy in hunting down criminals. That should be correct." Aokiji's eyes swept over Shen Fei and Hawkeye, and immediately focused on Long.
Long and Aokiji had a very good relationship when they were in the Navy, but unfortunately, Long suddenly betrayed the Navy and joined the Revolutionary Army.
If Long had not betrayed the Navy, he might be one of the three admirals of the Navy now.
"Sorry, I suddenly remembered that there was an urgent matter that I didn't deal with. I'll leave first." Shen Fei disappeared directly after Aokiji's words fell, and Hawkeye left without saying a word.
Aokiji could only sigh helplessly. In theory, Aokiji's words were not wrong. The Seven Warlords of the Sea did have this duty, just like during the war at the top, the Navy summoned the Seven Warlords of the Sea to deal with the Whitebeard Pirates.
But this is just a theory. In fact, no one in the Seven Warlords of the Sea took this duty seriously. Didn't you see that during the war at the top, the Seven Warlords of the Sea were all slacking off?
Empress Hancock was even fought by the navy and pirates, and no one saw who did anything to her.
Shen Fei was pretty good, at least he found an excuse, but Hawkeye was too lazy to even find an excuse.
"They left at the same time, are they going to fight?" In the storm, Shen Fei found Aokiji and Long left together through his observation Haki, and after finding Alrita in the storm, he knocked her out directly.
"As expected, appearance is justice, I'm really sorry, Buggy." Originally, Alrita and Buggy would have a lot of involvement in the future, and they might really have a chance to be together in the future, but now there is no chance.
"These two really fought." Shen Fei, who came out of the mirror space, immediately found the terrifying tornado hurricane and the terrifying iceberg on the opposite side far away from Rogue Town.
The reason why the two did not fight when they met was obviously because they were concerned about Rogue Town. With the strength of the two, if they fought in Rogue Town, Rogue Town would no longer exist.
