Chapter 158 Wood: I just read the lines according to the script!
"It turns out that this is Rear Admiral Peach Rabbit, a well-known figure in the Navy Headquarters. I wonder what your purpose is in coming here?
If I remember correctly, I have already taken the paper of life back before, so you can't find me.
And I said it last time, if we meet again, we will be enemies, and I will not be merciful anymore!"
Wood was genuinely surprised that Gion would appear in the Water Capital. According to Wood's knowledge, the other party should not be one of the insiders.
So when Wood saw Gion at this moment, he still had an attitude of keeping strangers away from him. He also called Gion "Peach Rabbit" instead of his friend's Gion.
Gion didn't know why, but when he heard Wood calling him "Major General Peach Rabbit", while the devil's son he just called was a Robin, an unknown fire suddenly ignited in his heart.
The joy of meeting again after a long absence was gone. Wood's attitude towards him made Gion quite unhappy, so his tone became cold.
"Be merciful? In fact, I have followed you all the way. If you really want to make a sneak attack in secret, I don't know if you will have the chance to be merciful.
As you are about to become a great swordsman, your vigilance and sensitivity have actually declined so much compared to the last battle.
It seems that the little girl named Robin has fascinated our Major Wood so much that he has forgotten who he is."
Gion mocked him mercilessly and said "our Major Wood", which made Wood feel quite embarrassed.
And by now, if Wood hasn't realized that Gion knows his identity, then he is really a fool.
Gion's attitude and tone when he met him this time were obviously different from the previous one. It was obvious that he knew about his secret mission to cheat his father through Lieutenant General Tsuru or Marshal Sengoku.
And if Gion knew his identity, it would not be strange for him to appear here. After all, he had just reported to the Warring States Period not long ago about what happened in the Water Capital.
"Hahahaha, Major General Gion is really joking. I failed to discover your existence, Major General, not at all because my own strength has declined, but because Major General Gion has become stronger recently.
With Rear Admiral Gion's level of tracking and concealment, if he hadn't deliberately leaked his scent just now, it would be impossible for me, a mere naval lieutenant colonel, to discover him."
Now that Gion knew his identity, there was no need to act. In the belief that the other party would also be one of the big shots in the department in the future, Wood immediately put on a flattering expression in an attempt to regain the good fortune that he had previously ruined.
Sensitivity.
However, it is a pity that Gion, who is now angry, obviously does not accept Wood's words at all. Instead, he showed a look of disdain and said: "I'm not that powerful. Didn't our Major Wood say before that next time?"
We are enemies when we meet, and we won’t show mercy or anything like that?”
Wood: "(????Д??)", the lines, those are all lines, I just read them according to the script given to me by the Warring States Marshal.
We are old classmates from the same school, and I have the best relationship with you in the entire Navy Headquarters. How could I possibly kill you?"
After hearing Wood say that he had the best relationship with him in the Navy, Gion's expression finally became better.
It's a pity that she didn't react. When Wood was in the Navy, he was extremely low-key. How many people in the Navy did he have contact with?
"Oh, so the Sengoku Marshal's script also includes asking you to search my body, take back your life sheet, and take in Nico Robin, the son of the devil?"
Gion felt inexplicably angry when he thought about Wood taking back the paper of life after defeating him, and having just had a series of intimate behaviors with Robin.
"Well, I took the life paper back just because I was worried that you would chase me after you didn't know what was going on. After all, it's too difficult to complete a secret mission while also dealing with your pursuit.
If I ask you to hand over the paper of life yourself, you will definitely not agree, so I can only do it.
The situation at that time was special. If I didn't look for it myself, would I let someone else search for it? You must know that not everyone is like me and is a truly honorable gentleman."
"As for Nico Robin, she is actually just a poor orphan. Not only was her hometown destroyed by the Navy's "Demon Slaying Order," but as the only survivor, she was also vilified by the world government.
I don’t think I did anything wrong by lending a helping hand to the helpless girl.”
Faced with Gion's questioning, Wood only thought that Gion was blaming him for taking advantage of her when he got the life paper back.
It is easy to understand why Gion took Robin in. Gion has a heart of justice. Wood believes that Gion, like Russ and others before, regards Robin as a heinous criminal as defined by the World Government.
However, the actual situation was that the straight-faced Wood didn't get the right point at all, and the reason why Gion was angry was not at all what he imagined.
After hearing Wood's answer, Gion felt helpless and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief.
Obviously she also felt that she was just overthinking it. Whether it was Hancock before or Robin now, it was obviously just a coincidence. With Wood's emotional intelligence, the possibility of the little girl being deceived was really low.
"Marshal Sengoku sent us here this time because the World Government put pressure on the navy to let us, the navy, clean up the traitors ourselves.
So if we meet this time, there may still be a fight. I came here to inform you this time just to make you mentally prepared."
"We? Who else besides you?" From what Gion said, Wood immediately caught the key word.
Just kidding, the famous Rear Admiral Peach Rabbit from the Navy Headquarters was dispatched, but as if that wasn't enough, there were others besides her.
If we take it seriously, if the current Wood does not use the power of "Heart of God", he will at best be able to compete with Gion Chichi-san. If there is another guy at the same level as Gion, he will basically have no chance of winning.
Hope.
"It's Lieutenant General Garp. I will only serve as the adjutant of the team this time, so I will take action when the time comes..."
"It's not time yet! I decided to leave the Seven Islands of Water tonight! I have a seed to prepare for generals and a naval hero.
I'm just a traitor who was a former lieutenant colonel in the navy. Those who didn't know better thought I was an admiral in the navy!"
Before Gion could finish his words, Wood had already reached out to interrupt him, and said that he would pack up and run away tonight and would never wade into the muddy waters of the water city.
Forget about Gion, what's going on with Garp? Even if he knew it was one of his own, Wood would panic once he started taking action.
The other party is famous for not knowing the importance of his attacks, and his grandson is merciless when it comes to K. What if Garp accidentally takes it seriously and beats himself to death!
