Pirate, I am the demon fox that brings disaster to the world!

"Huh~ I've finally finished reporting everything. I think I can relax now, right?"

Flower City, after leaving Ghost Island, Maria looked at the prosperous scene in front of her and couldn't help but sigh inwardly,

“By the way, who would have thought that one of the overlords of the New World, the governor of the Beasts Pirates, our Lord Kaido, would be such an awkward person?

Obviously, he was extremely proud, but he still brought up the legend of the sun god to criticize and praise him.

It seems that even pirates have a side as ordinary people, right? Miss Gion?

"!"

As Maria moved her lotus steps lightly and her eyes wandered, a woman wearing the unique Tang suit of Wano Country gradually came into Maria's sight——

In the bustling market, the woman was feeling and enjoying the joy and bustle around her with a complicated expression. The flickering fireworks flickered in the night sky, casting a bright warm light on it from time to time.

The tall figure, the dashing temperament, and the charming body, especially after being repeatedly watered and carefully developed, the charm revealed in between, even in Maria's eyes, is indescribably stunning.

"Although I'm just a captive, I'm unexpectedly envious of you at times~"

Maria couldn't help but think while secretly sizing up the woman in front of her.

"You are... that guy's man, Yaki Maria?"

The sudden question brought Zhiyuan back from his gloomy thoughts, and after seeing the woman in front of him who was aiding and abetting the evil, his already obscure mood suddenly became even darker.

"No one is a spectator at today's banquet~"

These were the words he heard from Yakumo Shiro after he was transformed back to his original form for who knows how many times.

Although he wanted to send the other party to Impel Down Castle immediately, and repeatedly execute him in various "hells" to torture him, Gion, who was fully aware of his own situation, could only retaliate in this way secretly in his heart.

The difference in strength left her with no chance of escape or revenge, not to mention that she was under the control of the other party's Childishness Fruit at any time.

I'm afraid that after this banquet is over, I will become a toy that the other party can manipulate at will...

"But isn't this ordinariness, even this scene before us, obtained through the bloodshed and drifting on the sea?"

Zhiyuan said coldly, although she had not been active among the crowd for a long time, it did not affect her ability to see the essence behind the prosperity.

Amidst the peace and prosperity, countless people are in disaster because of the arms sold by the other party. The laughter that Yakumo Shiro brings to them is at the cost of many people's tragedy!

From this perspective, even though the prosperity before one's eyes was clearly the beautiful scene that one had longed for in one's heart, Gion could not feel any joy or relief at all.

"So what? As the rulers of the country, we naturally have to consider the prosperity and development of this country. Different positions naturally lead to very different interests.

Moreover, it is not just the royal families of various countries that buy our arms. We will still sell them even to commoners who rebel against the nobles."

Maria shook her head nonchalantly, and then said in a joking tone,

"Do you know, Miss Navy, that compared to the navy, which symbolizes justice, the civilians who buy arms seem to trust the weapons in their hands more~

Why is this happening? "

"...!"

The undisguised sharp words pierced into Zhiyuan's heart like a sharp arrow, and the cruelest reality was laid nakedly in front of the other party.

Zhiyuan opened his mouth to speak, but his hands involuntarily clenched and unclenched, then clenched and unclenched again, repeating this many times, until he finally let go helplessly and completely.

Having followed Vice Admiral Tsuru for many years, she has become very clear about one thing, that is, the navy's duty is only to "fight pirates and protect the people", and has never been to "fight nobles and protect civilians"...

"The power in your own hands can always boost your confidence and protect yourself better than external help. This is a normal thing..."

Gion said in a low voice, and the words he forced out were more like comforting himself than a rebuttal. After all, even if ordinary people had weapons in their hands, how could they compare with the largest violent organization in this ocean?

It was just a choice made out of desperation, the last struggle before falling into the abyss.

"On the contrary, you have used the vast ocean to support the rapid development of this country, and have earned huge wealth by stepping on countless bones. What is the difference between you and those... Celestial Dragons?

Aren't they also the termites of this world, the root cause of the turmoil in the ocean?

"Oh? Celestial Dragons? Termitomyces?"

Maria covered her mouth in surprise. What the other party said was obviously beyond her expectation.

"I didn't expect that Miss Gion, a sailor, would have such an opinion of the master she obeys? Huhu~ Interesting, it seems that not all sailors are loyal dogs of the government~"

"Don't make random accusations. The Navy is under the command of the World Government, but this is not a master-servant relationship!"

Hearing this, Zhiyuan immediately retorted a little excitedly.

The only thing she was unwilling to admit, no matter how much Yakumo Bai tried to instill in her!

Indeed, although after every tangled and confusing love affair, when he was in a trance, the abominable bastard instilled some things in him that gave him a clearer understanding of the nature of the Celestial Dragons and the World Government, Gion could not admit that he planned to devote his life to the navy.

The navy is just a violent organization, a knife in the hands of the government, a killing knife that eliminates all unstable factors!

Even though the navy generally maintains stability on the sea in the name of justice, this is just what the government wants to see.

Otherwise, why would the navy launch a demon-killing order and destroy the entire island when O'Hara was only studying some ancient history?

In order to build the Bridge Kingdom, thousands of people die every year, and non-member countries in the world are also suffering from attacks by slave squads and pirates... Faced with such a tragic situation, why is there no navy to uphold justice?

Thinking of Yakumo Shiro's "persuasive" whispers in his ear, Gion seemed to feel a warm air lingering in his ears, just like his own troubled mood at the moment, entangled endlessly~

"Yes, yes, yes~ Of course it's not a master-slave relationship~"

Maria spread her hands perfunctorily and responded casually. She had originally wanted to add fuel to the fire to make the navy in front of her degenerate further, but the idea gradually faded away. What a pity, Master Yakumo, it seems that your training has reached a bottleneck~

"Well, think whatever you want. I'm not here to argue with you."

Maria shook her head in boredom, twisting her waist slightly and walked towards the general's mansion.

"If there's no one to accompany you at such a wonderful banquet, you'll feel a little lonely, right? It will be forgotten sooner or later anyway, so why not take this opportunity to create some memories?"

"???"

Looking at Maria's happy figure, Zhiyuan was puzzled for a moment. Creating memories? Creating what memories?

Following Maria's receding figure, Gion looked up and saw a magnificent building with bright lights in the center of the town in the distance. It was a place that everyone present had great reverence for, the residence of the general of Wano Country, Yakumo Shiro.

"Tsk! What do you mean by creating memories? That sounds very high-sounding! But it's still..."

After spitting with shame and anger, Zhiyuan hesitated for a moment, but decided to follow him.

After all the thoughts he had thought about during this period of time, as well as the major events caused by Yakumo Haku, Gion knew that if he continued like this, his situation would never improve, and he would be of no use other than being played around by the other party.

Therefore, you need to take the initiative. Only by participating in the other party's plan and becoming a chess piece in the other party's hands can you get a deeper understanding of the other party's desires, and provide strong support for your own escape, or even act as an undercover agent!

Being in a tiger's den, alone and helpless, there is no other way but to take a risk and try! Even if the price is to serve the tiger!
