Pirate Bloody Hand Mary

"..."

"Sorry, I'm the only one talking."

Akainu sighed softly, poured out the old tea, and began to pour a new pot of tea.

"No, that's good. Mr. Sakaski, I know you better."

"I would like to ask, the reason why you stand with the World Government is not that your position is consistent with the World Government, but to protect [order], right?"

Mary raised her eyes and smiled.

"What you protect is [balance]. You are fighting so that the people can have a stable life, right?"

"That's understandable."

Akainu nodded.

"There is no order at all among pirates. The revolutionary army only cares about breaking the old order, but has never thought about rebuilding it. So you don't support either of these, right?"

"good."

Akainu poured hot water into the pot.

"Knowing this, are you willing to support me? Do you think we are... on the same page?"

"Snapped."

Put down the tea cup.

"Of course we are traveling together."

"call."

Mary suddenly stood up, blood spilled from the soles of her feet, and she was lifted into the air.

It gave her a condescending perspective to look at Akainu.

"But, I won't support you, Senior Sakaski."

"hey-hey."

She said and grinned.

"Um?"

Akainu opened his eyes slightly, waiting for Mary's next words.

"Senior Sakaski, let me ask you something."

Mary took off her military cap and smoothed her blond hair. The evil eye was exposed to the air, flashing with a faint purple light.

The room seemed to suddenly darken, and the atmosphere became a little restless.

Her long hair was free of wind, blooming in the air as magnificently as the other side of the flower.

"If I want to create a new order, a new order like the current world government."

"Will you support me as marshal?"

"!?"

Akainu's eyes suddenly changed, and he suddenly looked up at Mary.

His eyes met with hers, staring into each other's eyes.

After a long time, Akainu whispered:

"So this is what Elio Hiiragizawa meant..."

"Well, what did he say to you?"

Mary asked curiously.

After a moment of silence, Akainu shook his head.

"No, I didn't say anything. Then again..."

Akainu straightened his body and put down the tea set in his hand.

"I've always been curious about why your overlord color is so strong."

"In other words, why do you have a domineering look as a marine? What is the reason?"

"Now it seems... is this the reason why you have this powerful overlord color?"

"Well, that's not the reason why I awakened my Overlord Color." Mary spread her hands, "But this is indeed one of the reasons to support my Overlord Color."

"Oh, I'm surprised. Are all your generals so good at concentration? I thought you would be surprised when I said this."

"Have you told anyone else?"

"The things I talked about are different from what you talked about, but there is one thing I have said."

"That means...I want to become a marshal."

The blood turned into a throne, and Mary sat down, lying on her back and folding her hands.

"I'm quite frustrated. I thought I could scare a few people, but you all turned out to be so calm."

"I've more or less expected this. I guess so did that guy Aokiji."

Akainu pondered for a moment and said: "Your abilities and achievements are enough to help you compete for the position of marshal, but I really didn't expect you to be so straightforward and impatient."

"This is not impatient, it's just a matter of course."

Mary clapped her hands, then leaned down, smiled and said to Akainu:

"Then, Senior Sakaski, let's go back to the question I just asked."

"If I can build a new order, will you support me as a marshal?"

"You really don't hide your desires, but I don't hate it."

Akainu frowned.

"Unfortunately, I have heard too many similar words. The revolutionary army also promised that they would bring a new order and that they could establish a new government. But in reality?"

"Criticizing the world government in the most violent way in the name of revolution has resulted in the inability to even establish a stable regime."

"Childish, naive."

"What capital do you have now to tell me that you will establish a new order?"

This was a rather pointed question, and Mary knew that the most critical question of the night was coming.

"The new order is already here."

Mary grinned.

She is really grateful to Weiwei now. The other party may have just acted unintentionally, but now it has reduced many obstacles in front of him.

"Desert Union is a brand new order."

"I am the honorary president of Desert United, and I am confident in saying..."

Mary's eyes seemed to be emitting a layer of faint fluorescence.

"I definitely played an indispensable role in the establishment of the Desert Alliance."

"——"

Looking at the expressionless Akainu, Mary asked quite proudly: "Are you satisfied with this answer?"

"...It's hard to answer."

Akainu shook his head and nodded.

"I haven't learned about the Desert United, but I generally know that it is an organization similar to a world government."

"..."

He suddenly raised his eyebrows.

"You... want to take the navy to join the Desert Alliance?"

"This is a bold idea, I really want to try it."

Mary clapped her hands in surprise.

She had never thought of this idea before.

"...I seem to be talking too much."

Akainu shook his head, and finally said with half-open eyes:

"I can't judge your thoughts now. I don't have a deep enough understanding of the Desert Alliance you are talking about."

"I'll make a decision after I learn more about it later. Don't worry, it won't take long."

Upon hearing this, Mary knew that the situation was decided.

The blood dispersed and she fell lightly to the ground. He propped himself up with one hand and looked at Akainu.

"However, it can be said now that from some perspectives, we have reached the same destination through different paths, right?"

"Um."

Akainu nodded without much hesitation.

"So……"

Mary extended her right hand to Akainu.

"We are gay."

…

Three days later, the Navy's temporary headquarters was crowded with people.

The marines who were originally fulfilling their duties became distracted at this time. The patrolling marines seemed to have lost their previous focused attitude and became a little restless.

As everyone knows, today is the investiture ceremony for the most popular person in the Navy and one of the most popular people in the Navy.

Unprecedented in history, he was directly promoted from a trainee to a lieutenant general.

Some of the marines standing guard were whispering.

"I heard that all the legends of the Navy will attend this time."

"Who is there?"

"Needless to say, the three generals and the Warring States Marshal, the Chief of General Staff, Lieutenant General He, the naval hero, Lieutenant General Garp, the chief instructor, Zefa, and the two alternate generals, these people will all be present!"

"Ha!? This lineup is even more exaggerated than during the war, when Mr. Zefa was not here yet."

"There's more, it's more than that..."

A navy man said mysteriously:

"It is said that this time, even the former Navy Marshal and the current Commander-in-Chief of the Army, Mr. Kong, will come!"

"Ah!? Real or fake!?"

Perhaps the exclamation was too loud, and he immediately earned a scolding from a passerby.

"Hey, two marines over there."

A soft voice came.

"Do your job well, why are you whispering now?"

"yes!"

The two marines trembled and immediately straightened their bodies.

Aokiji and Kizaru were passing by side by side.

"Why is a medal conferment ceremony so noisy..."

Qingzhi scratched his head and said with an annoyed look: "The rumors are getting more and more outrageous. It is too exaggerated that Mr. Kong will come to participate. In addition to the change of marshal, it should be impossible for Mr. Kong to take care of any other affairs of the navy now." .”

"Maybe?" Kizaru still had the same glib look, "After all, there won't be a person like Mary in hundreds of years, right? Have you ever heard of the person who killed the Yonko when he was around ten years old? ?”

"She just looks ten years old." Aokiji corrected.

"It's not a big difference."

Kizaru shrugged.

Then, he looked around and saw that the entire temporary base was filled with an atmosphere of excitement.

"But it seems that our protagonist today is very popular."

"Of course, after all, she is the supernova in our navy."

Qingzhi nodded matter-of-factly and said:

"She is strong, cute, has a good personality, good character, and has lofty ideals..."

"Wait, what's that look in your eyes?"

Seeing Kizaru's strange look, the corner of Aoki's mouth twitched.

"You...are you interested in Mary..."

"If you want me to freeze your mouth, just say so."

"Okay, okay, really, I can't even make a joke, Qingzhi, you are getting harder and harder to get along with."

Kizaru raised his hands in surrender, then urged:

"That's almost it. Let's go quickly. Marshal Warring States attaches great importance to this ceremony."

"It starts soon, don't be late. Otherwise you will have to work overtime again."

After saying that, Kizaru turned into a flash of light and fled away.

"...Ha, trouble, I'm going to sleep when I get there anyway..."

Aoki yawned, shook his head, and quickened his pace.

…

"It's no problem, Lady Mary...you really don't need to change into something more formal?"

Backstage, Dusky looked at Mary with worried eyes.

Mary shook her hair and said confidently:

"Dasqi, this is the army, and what I want to attend is the medal ceremony."

"The military uniform I'm wearing is the most formal attire."

"not to mention……"

She grinned and pointed at Dasqi.

"With my beauty, are you still worried that someone will care whether my clothes are formal or not?"

"Well……"

Dasqi couldn't help but cover her face.

The Mary who was obviously overly excited in front of her was obviously not the same person as the Mary she knew.

"Hahaha, Mary, after not seeing you for a few months, your personality has become a lot more cheerful."

Enxia stood in a dark corner with a gun and looked at Mary.

"It's a pity that Paul has to be stationed in Impel Down City, and Ashe was temporarily called away by the CP people. Otherwise, I really want to see how they would react when they see you now."

"What kind of reaction can I have? Just look at me and be so excited like you guys, as if you've seen a ghost."

"No, no, no, it's not like I've seen a ghost." Enxia shuddered, "But I'm really curious, why are you so excited about a medal ceremony. Why, is the rank of lieutenant general so rare? "

Mary was about to answer something when suddenly the phone rang on her wrist.

"Ah, sorry, I'm going to take a call."

"OKOK~"

Mary apologized and walked to a corner alone. Enxia and Dasqi were also wise enough not to reveal their feelings.

But in front of the stage, there is no such joyful atmosphere as backstage. There was solemnity and silence.

Karp and others sat in the front row, followed by the lieutenant general, major general, etc. slowly lining up.

The audience at the awarding ceremony was crowded with people. In addition to the generals who had already arranged their seats, there were also many melon-eating navy soldiers surrounding them. They all remained silent invariably.

Warring States stood in front of the stage and began to read loudly.

"Today, after the end of the War on the Summit and the end of the Red Sea Operation, at this moment in the era of great pirates, we hold a grand ceremony here to award the high honor of the Navy, which will represent the rank of Vice Admiral, to our strongest The biggest, toughest recruit.”

"Mary Vinicius!"

Applause.

"First of all, on behalf of the Admiral of the Navy, I would like to pay high tribute to Mary of the Navy."

"Ever since he joined the navy, he has been fighting for justice all the time. Fighting Crocodile, destroying the pirate Supernova, killing Katakuri, becoming the greatest contributor to the war, and killing the Yonko Kaido."

"Her abilities have also been recognized by the world. Desert United awarded her the position of Honorary President of Desert United for her selfless act of saving Alabasta."

"The greater the cause, the more challenging it is, and the more it requires knowing the heavy burdens. Navy Mary can stand up at critical moments and be brave in times of crisis. Her will, strength, and quality are all worthy of the rank of Lieutenant General. .”

"Marines!"

Sengoku's face was serious.

"The era of great pirates has passed, and a new era has arrived. The new era is an era that needs heroes and a stronger force to maintain the hard-won peace."

"May you all learn from Mary Vinicius and contribute your own strength to the cause of justice."

"Marie Vinicius please come on stage."

"Mary! Mary!"

Dasqi in the background seemed more nervous than Mary herself at this time, and she quickly waved to Mary when she heard the noise outside.

"Come here quickly, it's time for you to take the stage!"

"Okay, here we come."

Mary hung up the phone with a lingering smile on her face.

Arrangements have been made in Alabasta and Wano. Now it’s just waiting for Vivi and Elio to play freely.

She walked out of the dark backstage and strode to the front of the stage.

Walk in front of the Warring States Period, walk in front of thousands of naval forces.

She has no fear of such an occasion. Nearly a year of military career has allowed her, who used to be just an ordinary employee, to face such a scene calmly.

She looked up at Sengoku. She was so petite that she was not even as tall as Sengoku's waist.

"Mary Vinicius." Warring States said in a deep voice, "I am honored to see the birth of another legend."

"You are flattering." Mary smiled slightly.

Warring States nodded and took out a medal from the table behind him.

"The standard military ranks will be sent by the Logistics Department later. Now I will award this honorary medal to you first."

"This medal represents the unique code name of Lieutenant General [Bloody Hand]."

This is a golden medal, and the pattern inside is a claw outlined by blood-red metal wire.

Mary said nothing. It was not her turn to speak at this time. She just watched quietly as Sengoku put the medal on her.

"alright."

Warring States straightened up, then took two steps back.

"Mary Vinicius, do you need to say something?"

"certainly."

"Marshal Warring States, can I express myself freely?"

Mary's eyes suddenly lit up.

The unbearable memory of being madly plotted by Mary came to mind, and Sengoku instinctively felt that something was wrong.

But the atmosphere had already been heightened at this time, and this speech was originally part of the established process, so Warring States couldn't say much.

I could only give a gentle reminder in vain:

"Be restrained and don't go too far."

Then, he made a gesture of invitation.

Convergence point?

Are you kidding? It’s not easy to get such an opportunity...

Mary gave Seng Guo a "you know what" look, then turned to look at the crowd of people in the audience, not caring at all about Seng Guo's dark face that was about to face disaster.

I have been preparing for today for a long time.
