After finishing the conversation with Akainu, Annan left the headquarters building. As soon as he arrived at the headquarters, Esdeath sent a message asking him to come to the school grounds.
"You are Momotaro, no, Zhan Momomaru?"
Annan looked at the baby-faced sumo wrestler holding a big axe.
"This white-haired navy man must be the Annan the eldest sister mentioned." Zhan Taowan looked at Annan and thought to himself.
"Yes, I am Zhan Taowan, the man with the strongest defense." Zhan Taowan shouted loudly.
"The defense is the strongest." Annan's eyes lit up, "We happen to be at the school grounds now, how about we two practice?"
Annan has long wanted to meet the man with the strongest defense and the tightest tongue.
"Oh? You want to compete with me?" Zhan Taowan tilted his head, "Yes, yes, but... the loser will call the winner brother!"
When he was with his eldest sister, he always heard her chanting the name Annan. At that time, he was very curious about the abilities of the person who could attract Esdeath's attention.
After all, I just saw a report about him in the newspaper not long ago. He must be very strong if he can defeat the Shichibukai navy, right?
"But I am the man with the strongest defense!" Zhan Taowan muttered silently, "If I can't beat my eldest sister, how can I not beat you?"
…………
"Can't beat it."
Half an hour later, Zhan Taowan appeared in front of Esdeath with a bruised nose and swollen face.
"It would be weird if you could win."
Esdeath, who was standing on the pacifist, put his hands on his hips and looked at Zhan Momomaru below.
"This is what a pacifist is."
On the school field, Annan looked at the giant robot three times taller than him.
"That's right."
Esdeath nodded, then jumped down and landed in front of Annan.
"It is a combat robot created using the body of Bartholomew Bear from the Shichibukai Sea as a template, combined with the old man's laser capabilities. The cost of one is comparable to that of a large warship."
"But." Esdeath glanced at the robot behind him, "I think it's okay against ordinary pirates, but it's still far from enough against the Shichibukai."
In Esdeath's eyes, the combat power of the pacifists is far from being able to change the pattern of the sea.
"It's pretty good, but we can't rely on it to deal with the big pirates." Annan said, "Being able to deal with the small minions will greatly reduce the pressure on the navy."
Just like warships on the sea have an overwhelming advantage over pirate ships, pacifists can also have a crushing level of combat power against ordinary pirates on land.
In this way, the navy can completely suppress pirates whether at sea or on land.
However, with such an expensive cost, pacifists, like large naval warships, are destined not to be popular in the entire sea.
"Dr. Vegapunk said the same thing." Zhan Momomaru said, "The old man's ability is very powerful. I have seen it since I was a child, and there is Mr. Xiong."
"Since childhood?" After listening to Zhan Momowan's words, Esdeath asked curiously, "You and the old man have known each other for a long time?"
Zhan Momomaru nodded, "I became Dr. Vegapunk's bodyguard when I was very young. Since then, I have been consulting the old man."
"That's it." Esdeath nodded thoughtfully, then a smile appeared on his face and he looked at Annan.
"Annan, long time no see, I miss you so much."
"This... won't be long, right? Didn't we just meet a few days ago?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Annan realized the implication of Esdeath's words.
Before he could react, Esdeath's figure appeared in front of him in an instant, and with one fistful of fingers, he hit Annan in the face.
"Stop, please talk to me if you have something to say. I just finished beating Blackbeard and competed with Zhan Taowan again. I'm very tired."
Annan tilted his head to avoid Esdeath's fist, and moved away from Esdeath.
"Also, where did you learn to slap people in the face?"
"tired?"
Esdeath raised her eyebrows, "You knocked Zhan Taowan down in three moves and you still say you're tired?"
"This..." Annan's mouth twitched, "If we discuss things here, it will easily affect other people."
"It doesn't matter, we don't use fruit abilities, we just use simple physical skills." Esdeath geared up.
