One Piece Tulip Family

After the duel between Crocodile and Gaara ended, the atmosphere between Baroque Works and the Tulip Pirates became more harmonious. Because of Gaara’s brilliant performance in this duel and Satan’s kindness to heal Crocodile’s arm before, this unruly guy even vaguely revealed his intention to follow Satan’s footsteps in certain major events in the future.

In order to prevent too much contact with Crocodile and the fact that the navy realized their alliance in advance, Satan did not stay too much in the Kingdom of Alabasta. The next day, after Gaara woke up, the Tulip Pirates left the Alabasta port city of Rapeseed Blossom to start a new journey.

Even in order to confuse the navy, Satan had a public fight with Crocodile at the port, clamoring for each other to die. I am afraid that it will not be long before the news of the new pirate [Undead Lord] Douglas Satan and Shichibukai [Sand Crocodile] Crocodile’s enmity will reach the ears of the high-level navy. As for whether this news can really confuse the navy, Satan is not worried at all. It's hard to tell, who would believe that these two bastards have secretly formed an alliance?
……

Just as Satan and the others started their new voyage, in the middle of the great route, a huge warship was slowly sailing into the port at the headquarters of the Navy, Marlene Fand.

"It's so big, it's really spectacular to see such a huge battleship for the first time."

Looking at the huge battleship like a towering hill in front of him and the soldiers walking off the warship in a neat line, a guard near the port exclaimed in surprise. He was originally a soldier of the Beihai Navy Division. He was only recently transferred to the headquarters because of his bravery in combat. He had never seen such a huge warship before.

"Nonsense, that's Admiral Akainu's ship. When it's full, it can carry [-] fully armed soldiers for battle. Isn't it spectacular?"

A guard who entered the Navy headquarters earlier explained that he stared at the soldiers who were about to come, and tried to stand upright, with strong longing in his eyes, "It would be great if I could also become Admiral Akainu's direct subordinate, then I could also board that large warship to catch pirates."

"Two idiots, shut up!"

Cao Chang of the two guards scolded softly, "What do you know? I heard that among the three generals, Admiral Akainu treats his subordinates the most severely, and because he never leaves any survivors when he captures pirates, and often makes the pirates jump over the wall to fight back desperately, so the casualty rate of the soldiers on his ship is very high. Therefore, it is not a good job to go to Admiral Akainu's ship, and I heard that he has personally executed soldiers who were afraid in the battle center many times."

After a pause, Cao Chang continued: "Admiral Aokiji is the best choice to go to the warship directly under the admiral. He is not only kind, but also often teaches his subordinates to practice. Although he looks lazy, he is very popular among the soldiers!"

At this moment, a red dog wearing a dark red suit and a cloak with the word "justice" written on the back appeared on the edge of the deck and began to disembark, with a dignified expression on his face like a knife and an axe.

"Silence! Salute!"

As soon as he saw the red dog appearing, Cao Chang immediately fell silent and signaled his guards to salute quickly. When the red dog walked past him, Cao Chang even trembled in fear, and a layer of fine white sweat oozes from his back.

"Huh, is that General Akainu? The momentum is really powerful."

It wasn't until Akainu walked away that the first guard let out a long breath, and his shoulders collapsed. When Akainu walked past him before, he even felt a deep sense of suffocation, and he couldn't even breathe smoothly.

"Have you noticed that there seems to be a section of bandage protruding from the collar of Admiral Akainu's clothes, and, looking at his angry look, do you think he is injured?"

The second guard suddenly spoke in a low voice, looking lewdly from side to side as he spoke, as if he was afraid of being heard by others.

"how is this possible?"

The first guard almost screamed, "General Akainu is so strong, how could he be injured?"

"No, it's true, I saw the bandages too."

There was a hint of schadenfreude on Cao Chang's face, but before his guards saw it, he regained his composure, "General Chinu seems to be really injured, but I'm curious who can injure him. I haven't heard that he went to the New World to perform missions?"

Navy Chief Cao's doubts and his guards naturally couldn't answer them. When these guards were chatting and gossiping happily, the Red Dog Admiral they were talking about had already arrived outside the Marshal's office.

Pushing the door open, Marshal Sengoku was reviewing documents at the table, while his old comrade Garp was eating a donut on the sofa next to him. On the other side, a guy in a yellow striped suit with a wretched face was sitting on the sofa drinking tea.

"Well, it's you, Akainu, why..."

Hearing the sound of pushing the door, Marshal Sengoku looked up and greeted Akainu politely, but before he could finish a sentence, the following words stopped abruptly as if they were stuck in his throat, and he stared at Akainu with a stunned expression.

Seeing the strange behavior of Marshal of the Warring States Period, Garp and Kizaru stopped their movements and prepared to say hello to Akainu, but they choked in their throats as soon as they saw his face and said hello.

"You, why are you hurt?"

The yellow monkey wiped the water droplets in front of him in embarrassment, and asked Akainu with a strange expression. Garp next to him chewed the donut in his mouth vigorously, stretched his neck and swallowed it, with the same expression of curiosity and shock.

There were traces of bandages on the neckline of Akainu, obviously injured, but this is not the point. The point is that there is an obvious claw mark on his originally resolute face. This claw mark extends from Akainu's forehead to his neck, covering almost the entire right side of his face. It is still bloodshot, as if he was severely scratched by the claws of some kind of creature. It looks very tragic.

The Warring States Marshal at the desk obviously thought more. He was even thinking about whether Akainu had met a certain Four Emperors, who could leave permanent scars on the face of Akainu, who was a natural-type devil fruit capable user.

"Humph!"

Seeing the weird expressions of his colleagues, Akainu seemed to have heard the ridicule in their hearts. He put his hands on his chest and snorted, then sat down on the sofa, and said coldly: "That Satan, we all underestimated him!"
