"Luke-sama, the trophies have been counted..."
On the Thriller Bark.
A zombie ran over happily while holding a treasure box in his hand: "We also found a Devil Fruit in a treasure box!"
"What?"
"Devil Fruit?"
Hearing those words, it's not just Luke but Hogback and others who were all a little surprised.
"Let me see…"
Luke stepped forward and took the treasure box to open it.
A green, oval-shaped fruit with strange patterns and two green leaves lay quietly inside.
"What kind of devil fruit is this?"
Perona is full of curiosity.
"Paramecia: Lush Fruit..."
Luke's pupils condensed.
He had seen the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia and deliberately memorized it.
He knows the shapes and characteristics of most Devil Fruits very well.
It didn't take long for him to recognize it.
"Paramecia?"
"Lush-Lush Fruit?"
"What ability does it have?"
Seeing that Luke recognized the devil's fruit directly.
Perona, Hogback, and Brook were all full of surprises.
"Well, a rather special ability that can control nearby plants and accelerate the growth of plants..."
Weighing the Lush-Lush Fruit, Luke shrugged: "If you make good use of it, it will have quite an effect!"
This type of Paramecia Devil Fruit didn't attract him much, but it was better than nothing.
"Luke, the Marine wants to negotiate with us!"
At this time, the Marine signaled for negotiation.
The zombie responsible for raising the flag asks Luke for instructions.
"Vice Admiral Gion, I didn't expect her to be the one leading the team..."
With the help of a monocular telescope, Luke noticed the tall and heroic figure on the leading warship, making Luke raise his eyebrows.
He recognized Gion immediately.
Because when he was in CP9, he had already seen this famous female Vice Admiral who had both beauty and strength.
"Luke, the Marines won't be targetting the Devil Fruits in One-Eyed Pirates, would they?"
Brook said in a deep voice.
Perona and Hogback on the side couldn't help but look solemn.
If that's the case, I'm afraid the Marine has bad intentions.
"It's not impossible..."
After a brief consideration, Luke ordered the zombies: "Wave the flag and allow their ship to approach!"
Soon, the warship arrives slowly.
Entering the huge mouth of the Thriller Bark, it docked on the shore.
On the warship, the Marines, who were armed with live ammunition, were full of tension.
Their muscles are tense, and they are highly vigilant and ready to fight at any time.
After all, this is the territory of one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
Although these big pirates have been recruited, they are still pirates in the final analysis.
"Don't be nervous, just relax..." Gion scolded her subordinates.
After saying that, without any hesitation, she took Hina, her adjutant, and several Marines and boarded the Thriller Bark.
Since the opening of Age of Pirates, countless ambitious people who are unwilling to settle down are vying to go to sea.
The number of pirates continued to increase, and the situation on the sea became more turbulent.
Facing the suddenly violent sea, the Marine was overwhelmed.
Their troops were soon stretched thin, and they could not suppress the pirates, who were constantly causing trouble everywhere.
Moreover, in the New World, four emperors rule over a sea area, and the forces under their command continue to expand.
In order to stabilize the sea situation, the world government had to introduce the Seven Warlords of the Sea policy.
Promising that the Marines would stop targeting them and allow them a series of rights, such as legal robbery, they recruit the most famous and powerful pirates on the sea in disguise.
Let these lawless guys serve the world government to a certain extent.
As time goes by, countless ambitious pirates want to challenge the Seven Warlords of the Sea and step on their heads to become famous, but the seven warlords use their blood to declare to the world the invincible reputation of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
Even to this day, under the guidance and propaganda of the world government, intentionally or unintentionally.
The Seven Warlords of the Sea seem to have been closely related to the Marine Headquarters.
There are also the Whitebeard Pirates, the Big Mom Pirates, the Beasts Pirates, etc., entrenched in the New World.
The famous pirate forces keep pace with each other.
A triangle situation gradually formed.
This has also resulted in the Seven Warlords of the Sea having more special status and cannot be acted upon rashly.
As long as the bottom line of the World Government is not touched, even the Marines, who are supposed to be in a hostile position, sometimes have to pinch their nose and compromise with these notorious pirates.
They have to turn a blind eye to the Warlord's arrogant and domineering behavior.
The vast majority of Marine high officials are very dissatisfied and hostile to these Seven Warlords.
They have no favorable impression of these rotten pirates at all.
Gion, an Admiral candidate, is no exception.
She is confident enough in her own strength that she obviously doesn't worry about whether Moria will take action against her.
In fact, deep down in her heart, she wished that the other party would take action against her so that she could have a reasonable reason to arrest him.
As for whether the situation in the sea would remain stable, that is something that senior officials need to consider.
It has nothing to do with her, a Vice Admiral.
"Wow, beautiful Miss Marine..."
When Brook saw Gion and Hina, he, who was left with only a handful of bones, couldn't help but feel the fire burning in his eyes.
He subconsciously wanted to step forward and ask the other person for panties as usual.
"Brook, calm down... don't embarrass me here!"
Luke, who transformed into the wind swordsman Yasuo, angrily knocked his afro hair.
"Ah, what a rare visitor..."
Luke came forward with the No. 1 zombie general, Wang Zhi, Perona, Hogback, and others, and said with a smile: "I wonder what the famous Admiral candidate, Vice Admiral Gion is here for?"
"I have never seen this young man before..."
Gion looked at Luke and the others in front of her.
Faced with the secret transformation of Life Return, Luke, who has shrunk in stature, obviously did not recognize by the other party that he was the CP9 traitor who caused trouble in Enies Lobby a few days ago, killed his boss, and defected directly, and was wanted by the World Government with a bounty of 200 million Belly.
But when Gion noticed Luke's sword, Qiushui, hanging on his waist, her eyes couldn't help but condense slightly.
After looking around and not seeing Moria, she frowned: "Where is Moria?"
Gion was not too surprised that Luke and others recognized him.
After all, as one of the few powerful female Vice Admirals in Marine Headquarters, she thought she was somewhat famous at sea.
"Hiss~hiss~hiss~, Moria-sama is not someone anyone can just meet if they want to..."
Dr. Hogback introduced there: "This is the vice-captain of our Netherworld Pirate. He is the deputy captain Moria-sama personally recruited recently, the wind swordsman, Yasuo!"
