After less than a minute, the Going Merry finally came alongside the huge warship, and the two ships joined together.
With a gentle and kind smile on the corner of his mouth, Ron looked at the girl behind him, thought for a moment, and said, "Tashigi, you stay here, and the two little ones also stay here!"
After glancing at Apis and Marianne, Ron said, "Makino, Mikita, and Nojiko, you should also stay. But Kaya, Nami, Robin, and Vivi follow me!"
"Huh? I also want to go and see, this is the first time I'm seeing such a big ship!" Apis stared at the warship in front with big round eyes. In the East Blue, she had never seen such a large warship. Maybe the naval branch of the East Blue had a large warship, but under normal circumstances, it cannot be casually moved.
"Don't make a fuss!" Ron touched Apis's little head. "Obediently ask Sister Makino to get you something nice to eat!"
"Hmmm!" Apis puffed up her mouth and rolled her eyes. "Okay! Brother Ron, you need to come back soon though. Apis wants to eat with you!"
"Well, I'll be back soon!"
With that, Ron glanced at Robin.
Robin walked over silently. Although she didn't quite understand why Ron had to take her when she had just joined, in fact, she was not even a member of the pirate crew; her current identity was only a prisoner. It was a little strange that Captain Ron had let her participate in such a thing.
Mikita's heart throbbed as she watched Robin follow Ron and the others to the warship. She wondered, Robin is obviously newer than her. Why would that guy prefer to believe Robin instead of herself? Is he so disgusted with her?
Mikita carefully recalled her relationship with Ron and found that he was indeed a little indifferent to her, and there were others who did not like her.
Mikita was speechless. Was she so unpopular?
She didn't know why she wasn't welcome!
Ron took Nami, Kaya, Robin, and Vivi with him and came to the huge warship. Kaya grabbed his left arm playfully and walked leisurely towards the location of where the crowd of marines stood on the deck of the warship.
"Huh!" Ron looked at the crowd and couldn't help but smile. "Am I so welcomed?"
He saw the marine soldiers in front of them, all armed with weapons. Although they did not aim at Ron and the others, they looked nervous at his arrival.
In front of this group of marines stood a fat Vice Admiral who seemed a bit arrogant, looking at Ron with unfriendly and hostile eyes.
"Your, Ron?" The Vice admiral looked at the approaching Ron and asked somewhat proudly.
"You asked me to come and meet you?" Ron looked at the Vice admiral, smiled, and said "you know you're kind of interesting, are all the admirals like this?" If they're all like this, it is estimated that the navy headquarters would have long been destroyed by the Four Emperors. But let's deal with the things at hand first.
The Admiral nodded and took two steps towards Ron with his hands behind his back, but he did not seem to be afraid of Ron, a pirate with a bounty of 500 million berries. After approaching, he looked at Ron carefully, and the contempt in his eyes grew more intense, "Just a kid, a pirate with a bounty of five hundred million? You must be joking, you defeated Hawkeye Mihawk? and killed Crocodile? HAHA you must be very lucky, if not, then it seems that those two guys are just trash, maybe they relied on some connection to get the position of a Shichibukai!"
The vice admiral treated himself as a person above everyone, and he did not put Hawkeye or Crocodile in his eyes. Ron in front of him seemed just as insignificant, in fact, Ron's age was indeed not large, only 19 years old!
"Me, good luck?" Ron was a little confused. This fool wants to meet him just to say that he is lucky? is his brain made of water?
"Upon notice from the World Government, the Marine Headquarters, and I, Vice Admiral Ragus, come to deliver a message!" The Vice admiral said, his eyes moving away from Ron, constantly looking at Vivi and Nami, as well as Kaya and Robin. There was a hint of surprise in his eyes. This boy was really lucky; there were four such beautiful women around him. It was really something. If he can get them, hehehehe.
Looking at the Vice admiral's pig-like eyes in front of him, Ron frowned, and in his heart had already sentenced the other party to death.
Robin and Nami saw the man's eyes constantly staring at their chests, and the two couldn't help but frown. Although under Ron's strong request, the two dressed more conservatively than in the original anime, the prominence of their chests was still noticeable.
"What is the matter with the World Government and the Navy looking for me?" Ron looked at the Vice admiral expressionlessly. "Hurry up, otherwise, you won't have a chance to say it again!"
"Haha, no chance, do you mean, if I don't say anything, you're going to turn around and leave?" The Vice admiral did not feel that the other party wanted to kill him but felt that Ron was a little afraid. After all, he had a large group of armed marines around him, and the Vice admiral was not afraid at all.
"However, I came to you to hand you an invitation" The Vice admiral waved behind him. "Come, hand him the invitation!"
The slim lieutenant hurried forward. He had listened to the speech of the Vice admiral and was eager to come forward to speak for him. This guy is a fool; he dared to speak to this man in this tone. This is a person who had killed Crocodile, and was responsible for the marines who died in the East Blue. Vice admiral, why did you act like this?
The lieutenant came to Ron with an invitation, looked at Ron very respectfully, and smiled politely. "Hello, Mr. Ron, it is a pleasure to meet you. I am the lieutenant of this ship, Hamira! This is an invitation from the World Government and the Navy, and I ask you to accept it!"
"Invitation?" Ron looked at the guy in front of him, who was very polite. His speech was also well-constructed. Compared to the Vice admiral, he was completely different. Regarding the girls around him, he also had a serious demeanor, not ogling at their figures. At most, he glanced politely, then smiled politely, and shifted his gaze, looking at Ron with a respectful demeanor.
"It seems this is a regular graduate from the Marine Academy, while this fat man went against the norm!" Ron thought to himself, glancing at the overweight Vice admiral opposite to him, who was standing touching his chin and ogling at the four girls, and then focused his attention back to Hamira.
Ron casually opened the invitation, looked at the handwriting, and suddenly the corners of his mouth twitched.
"
Ron, what's written on it?" Kaya asked curiously. "Is it an invitation to some banquet?"
"You can't go!" Vivi hurriedly said. "Maybe it's a trap!"
"Nope!" Ron waved his hand, showed them the invitation, and said, "This is a invitation from the The World Government and the Navy who wants to invite me to be one of the Warlords!"
"What?"
"This..."
"Invite you to be one of the Warlords?"
The four girls next to him were surprised. This was a Shichibukai. If a pirate could be recognized by the World Government and the Navy, then all the bounties would be revoked. There would be no more official personnel hunting him down, no more pirate hunters on his tail. Because there would be no bounty, pirate hunters naturally would not pursue such thankless tasks.
"Do you think this position is good?" Ron smiled dismissively. "Even if some of those people don't obey the Navy and the World Government, in the eyes of everyone, they are the dogs of the World Government and the Navy. Do you think I will go to people as a dog?"
"Oh... so that's how it is!" The girls were stunned for a moment, then asked, "So, are you not going to accept the invitation?"
"Of course not!" Ron nodded, picked up the invitation letter and tore it into pieces, waved his hand, and a pile of shredded paper sprinkled on the head of the Vice admiral, stunning him as he was looking at Nami and the other girls.
"Next, it's time for me to settle a score!" Ron looked at the Vice admiral with an angelic and kind smile.
