Chapter 233 Qingzhi's emotion, seeing Magellan for the first time
The San Juan Wolf is a Devil Fruit user, this is something that has been confirmed by this department.
However, the specific kind of fruit it is has not been clarified so far, and there is no record in the existing devil's illustrated book.
The intelligence agency speculates that this guy is probably a giant fruit among the animal-type human fruits.
If a normal person eats this fruit, his height will reach the level of the giants.
And the San Juan Wolf is originally from the giant race. After eating this fruit, it becomes reasonable and ordinary that the maximum size can be so terrifying...
Do you want to deprive this guy of his fruit ability?
"What's wrong?"
Seemingly noticing something strange about Nuo Xia, Qing Zhi turned his head and asked curiously.
"It's nothing, I just remembered some past events."
Nuo Xia shook his head with a smile, looked away from the sword blade, and his expression returned to calm.
Just forget it.
This guy is considered a key prisoner of the World Government. After a fight with him, he lost his ability. What's going on? He will definitely trigger an investigation from Marie Joa, and he doesn't want to get into trouble.
Moreover, he is not very interested in the Giant Fruit. The cooling period for each hatch is as long as three months. It is better to keep waiting. There will eventually be fruits worth depriving.
The voyage went smoothly for the next two days, and he didn't even encounter any pirate ships. Nuo Xia was quite bored. Apart from daily practice exercises, the only pastime he had every day was to chat with Qing Pheasant.
The relationship between the two in the past was actually somewhere between acquaintances and true friends.
Especially at the beginning, Aokiji was a being that Nuo Xia could only look up to, and the former only regarded him as a very promising junior recruit, not close to him.
However, as Nuo Xia's status and strength increased, and after he truly reached the same level as himself, Aokiji finally began to face the existence of this young disciple.
As they got along with each other in the past few days, he was more and more surprised to find that Nuo Xia's personality and temperament were extremely to his liking. When chatting together, they also had quite a common topic -
No, it shouldn't be just that we have a common topic, but no matter what Nuo Xia says, he can listen to it with great interest. This guy is simply the kind of guy who can attract all the attention of the people around him when he speaks, and he has the aura of a leader.
A temperamental person.
This is an incredible characteristic! If the same thing were told from the mouths of two close friends, Sakaski and Porusalino, he would have already yawned and fallen asleep...
So it is no surprise that during these days on the warship, the relationship between the two of them developed rapidly and by leaps and bounds to the extent of being in love.
Before coming to the headquarters, when Nuo Xia saw Aoki Pheasant, he would smile and say "Mr. Kuzan" to show respect, but now he often hugs each other, laughs, gossips, and makes fun of each other...
Two more days later, the warship finally returned to the waters near the headquarters. The magnificent Gate of Justice slowly rose, allowing Nosha Aoki and others to pass through without any hindrance.
Impel City is located in the deep sea in the windless zone, and it is extremely difficult to reach by conventional routes. Its location, the Navy Headquarters and Judiciary Island, two important government sites, are connected by a huge deformed whirlpool.
Only by passing through the Gate of Justice can one ride on the correct ocean current and reach the destination smoothly as quickly as possible.
"I guess it will be almost there by dawn tomorrow."
Qingzhi glanced at the setting sun in the sky, smiled at Nuo Xia, "I see you were bored to death along the way, but when you get to Impel Down City, you will have some fun."
"Huh? How do you say it?"
Nuo Xia was still under the shock of the Gate of Justice. After hearing this, he came back to his senses and said strangely.
"Ah la la, the current director of Impel Down, Mr. Pablo, haven't you heard of his name?"
"Not really."
Nuo Xia shook his head. He was relatively familiar with the top management of the headquarters, but his understanding of other parallel organizations under the World Government was quite limited.
"No wonder...that guy is a very powerful man. He was already very famous in the old days when Mr. Garp and others were active."
Qingzhi said with a smile, "Since the Golden Lion escaped from prison a few years ago, the original director was replaced. After he came to take office here, he used ruthless methods to frighten a large number of prisoners. In just a few months,
Then we rebuilt the prestige of Impel Down City and built it into an insurmountable iron wall."
"But he also has an obvious shortcoming, which is that he is a little too bellicose."
At this point, Qingzhi paused for a moment before continuing with a wry smile, "Maybe it's because I've been holding it in at the bottom of the sea for too long. Those days are really no different from those of prisoners..."
"In short, since the year before last, every time our headquarters escorts a prisoner, he will warmly invite the lieutenant general who leads the team to discuss with him how to make him feel comfortable before he is allowed to leave..."
"Is there such a thing?"
Nuo Xia couldn't help but be startled, "Then this time we..."
"Needless to say, you can't escape a big battle."
Qingzhi curled his lips, "You are the most popular newcomer in recent years. Even in the deep sea prison, your reputation is quite famous. Your Excellency Pablo will never let go of this opportunity."
"As for my words..."
The corner of Qingzhi's mouth twitched, and his eyes looked strangely, "I'm afraid the hatred attracted is much higher than yours..."
"...Why?"
"It's very simple, because Director Pablo is a superhuman-type cold-blooded fruit user."
Aoki looked up at the setting sun at a 45-degree angle and sighed sadly, "The outside world has been rumored for a long time that my fruit is his superior fruit, which can be perfectly restrained when played, and it is obvious that Pablo has
After hearing such words for a long time, I will never feel better..."
Isn't it an unreasonable disaster to hate the house and the crow? Nuo Xia looked at the blue pheasant sympathetically.
He himself is probably fine, but on Qingzhi's side, that stubborn and bellicose old man will probably never let them leave Impel Down without beating him up to get back on his feet...
"Anyway, don't train too hard tonight, conserve your strength and prepare for this battle."
Green Pheasant stood up on tiptoes, patted Nuo Xia on the shoulder, yawned and went back to the house to sleep.
Nuo Xia, on the other hand, curled her lips and turned a deaf ear. She went directly into the training room and practiced in hell all night.
In the early morning of the next day, Nuo Xia came to the deck in high spirits after breakfast. It happened that Qing Pheasant, who had not slept well all night, also came over with dark circles under his eyes.
The two stood side by side, watching the Door of Justice slowly open in front of the whirlpool current. The tip of the iceberg of the deep-sea prison, the large iron door exposed outside, was quietly waiting for them.
"It's time to go down, big guy."
When the warship docked, Noxia kicked the San Juan wolf in the butt and said angrily.
The latter had been sleeping for several days and nights, and now he finally woke up dimly. He yawned and was pushed by the sailors. He was handed over to the hands of the jailers and bent down to enter the prison gate.
Aokiji and Noxia were welcomed into the VIP room. It stands to reason that Director Pablo would personally come out to meet with them, hand over the work, and perform the "traditional performance".
But after waiting and waiting for a long time, they still didn't see the figure of the legendary director. When both of them drank several cups of tea, the door was pushed open, and a tall figure in black uniform was limping while holding his stomach.
He turned around and walked in.
"Ah, I'm really sorry..."
As soon as this guy entered the door, he started to apologize with a grimace, his voice was weak and weak, as if he had been squeezed dry, "I have kept you two waiting for a long time. It stands to reason that Mr. Pablo should come here in person..."
"It's just that last night, Marie Joa sent an order to go to Judiciary Island to attend an emergency meeting. He won't be able to come back until tomorrow morning at the earliest, so I have to be an unknown person to shamelessly act for him...
"
Um?
There is such a good thing. Qingzhi's eyes suddenly lit up, and he was ecstatic. Now he can avoid this battle perfectly. It's not that he is timid, but he is purely worried that the other party is an old hero from the old era after all. He is afraid that
The final win or loss results in trouble.
But Nuo Xia's focus was completely different from his.
"Nobody?"
He looked at the young face in front of him who was wearing a uniform and had black horns on his head. He shrugged and said, "Isn't Mr. Magellan too self-effacing? He became the deputy director of the Undersea Prison at the age of just twenty.
The future is limitless, so it has nothing to do with this kind of adjective, right?"
Qing Pheasant turned his head and glanced at Nuo Xia in surprise.
You guys have never even heard of Director Pablo, but you are so familiar with this young deputy director who has no reputation outside?
"Lieutenant General Nosha has heard of me?"
The young Magellan was also stunned, and then he couldn't help feeling happy from the bottom of his heart, and his face turned red with excitement, "Ah, I really didn't expect that. I thought that except for the prisoners in the prison, not many people knew about it.
I didn’t expect to be recognized by a big shot like you..."
Have I become a big shot in Magellan's eyes?
Nuo Xia couldn't laugh or cry. The current performance of Magellan was completely different from the image of a powerful man twenty years later who showed his domineering power and killed Blackbeard's entire group by one person.
"Hiss~"
Magellan suddenly took a breath of cold air, beads of sweat rolled down his forehead. Under the surprised looks from Nuo Xia and Qing Zhi, his thoughts were racing like lightning——
Shouldn't it be right? I've obviously just squatted for half an hour, but now I feel something in my buttocks again?
It shouldn't be a scam this time... Maghe made an ethical analysis and felt that this time, there is a high probability that it was a fart.
It's a pity that he didn't dare to gamble.
So after all, he couldn't hold it back and spoke weakly:
"I'm sorry to be with you. You two can continue to wait here for the Director. I have to solve some physical problems..."
Damn it! I just said there is no similarity at all. With your Devil Fruit ability, you like to poison yourself whenever you have nothing to do, resulting in loose diarrhea every day. This problem has been around since 20 years ago!
"etc!"
Seeing Magellan kicking open the door and running away, Nuo Xia couldn't help but get up and asked loudly: "What did you mean when you just said you wanted us to wait here for the Director? Isn't the old man coming back tomorrow morning?"
"It means that before he comes back, even after handing over the work, you two can't leave..."
Magellan said intermittently, like a thin voice, "Don't blame me, two lieutenant generals, this is an order personally issued by the director before he left..."
Suddenly there was a thunderous fart sound, and Magellan's voice stopped abruptly.
Ten seconds later, he appeared at the door with a lifeless face, his eyes were distracted, and he said to the two of them in a mosquito-like voice:
"...I...I will go back to the room to change my clothes. You two will take a short rest here. I will take you to the restaurant for lunch..."
"..." Nuo Xia and Qing Zhi remained silent, watching his figure go away with sympathy.
When the VIP room returned to silence, Qingzhi picked up the tea cup, took a sip and said with a wry smile, "I thought I had escaped, but I didn't expect that old man to be so obsessed with the two of us..."
"So do you want to leave?" Nuo Xia's eyes were still on Magellan's back, "If you don't want to cause controversy..."
"It's not necessary."
Qing Zhi shook his head, "The old man is seventy years old, so let's just play with him. But speaking of it, if both of us are in the most serious state, we may not be his opponents..."
Nuo Xia nodded and expressed deep agreement. Impel City is such an important place. How can any of the previous directors be idle?
"I just have to wait all day in vain. It's so boring..." Nuo Xia sighed, suddenly as if he remembered something, he suddenly turned his head and stared at Qing Zhi's face.
"...You, what do you want to do?"
Qing Zhi raised his eyes, not knowing what to do. He had an inexplicable premonition at this moment.
"Anyway, I am idle..." Nuo Xia slowly grinned, "Why don't you do me a small favor?"
…………
A few minutes later.
"Hey, hey, hey, when you said I could do you a little favor, is this what you meant?"
On the underground floor of the prison, in the huge central open space, glaciers spread wantonly. Aoki Pheasant asked angrily while moving and dodging in the violent airflow with ease.
In the blink of an eye, he had dodged dozens or hundreds of sword attacks. Nuo Xia, who was on the opposite side, was not surprised when he saw that these ordinary attacks had no effect. He just smiled:
"Just think of it as a warm-up for tomorrow's battle. Besides, we have known each other for so long and have never had the chance to fight. This is a rare opportunity..."
"Who wants to fight a monster like you!"
With a casual move, Qingzhi formed a thick ice wall in front of him, blocking Nuo Xia's sword attacks again. However, he was also shaken by the aftermath of the sword energy and took several steps back.
He stepped on the ground, stabilized his body, looked at the smiling Nuo Xia, and couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"For a guy who can stay awake for a month or two, by the time this fight with you is over, I'm afraid that by the time he returns to the headquarters, Porusalino will already be the marshal of the headquarters!"
"Besides, even if we really have to fight, can't we change the place? Let's fight in the prison, with so many bored guards watching. If I lose to you, I will lose face.
It’s so light…”
"Hahaha, then you can't blame me. Who caused the whirlpool and turbulence outside!"
I ran away after writing this chapter, and my legs were numb from squatting. Hey, I suspected that I was infected...
