A deep claw mark near his heart pulsed with faint pain, the wound still knitting itself together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It looks like they planned everything tonight. They wanted to steal that thing and wipe out anyone who got in the way.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He rubbed at the slowly healing mark and stared at the Sea Stone needle lying beside him, frowning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I was careless. I didn't expect Kaku to be carrying Sea Stone. Lucci nearly tore my heart out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rope Man, you're pretty impressive.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luffy, still weak from the Sea Stone exposure, lay on his side and grinned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you want to join our pirate crew and be our shipwright?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Barry shot him a flat look and sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sorry, I have no interest in joining your pirate crew. And you, of all people, I told you not to pull out the needle. Now look at you, lying there without strength.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hehe, I forgot I'm also weak to Sea Stone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luffy struggled to his feet, wobbling as he looked around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where did Shirogai go? Mayor Iceberg is fine now, we need to save Robin.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That guy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nami looked around with irritation, then clenched her fists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who knows where he ran off to again. And Sanji. Do those two even care about Robin right now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>… …\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wind howled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the backstreets of Water 7, already swallowed by rising tides, one long stretch of road had frozen entirely solid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The enormous waves of Aqua Laguna hung mid-crash, frozen in place and gleaming like colossal glass sculptures. Inside the ice, several small sea creatures were suspended, trapped in lifelike stillness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The waves of Aqua Laguna are incredibly huge. They almost blew my bicycle away earlier.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two figures sat calmly on makeshift ice chairs positioned atop one of the frozen waves. They stared into the distance where the storm continued to roar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirogai sat with a relaxed smile, glancing at the man beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I didn't expect you to appear before me again this soon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, oh, oh, duty is hard to avoid.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tall, curly-haired Admiral with an eye patch sighed lazily, then picked up a strawberry sandwich Shirogai had made for him. After taking a bite, he blinked in pleasant surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It really is good. Eating something this tasty after coming all this way isn't bad at all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirogai smiled faintly, his tone sharpened with meaning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's nothing special, I just threw it together. You are a Marine Admiral, the enemy of pirates, so I don't see the need to prepare a perfect meal for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're really cold, Shirogai.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Admiral Aokiji Kuzan laughed while chewing the sweet sandwich.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Honestly, aside from our opposing positions, our personalities match pretty well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that so? Interesting way to put it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirogai casually extended his arm, transforming it into a clean and polished blade. With a swift motion, he sliced through a nearby chunk of ice. The ice shattered into pieces, each piece morphing into warm, fragrant chicken nuggets that released an enticing aroma.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A chilled plate formed beneath them, catching the nuggets before gently placing them on the ice crystal table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eat-Eat Fruit,\" Shirogai said proudly, almost like a child showing off a clever trick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How about it? Isn't an ability that can create food from ordinary matter far more interesting than your Ice-Ice Fruit that just freezes people?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aokiji popped a freshly made nugget into his mouth and nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's very convenient, I'll give you that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's right. If the abilities of Devil Fruits could be reproduced for the world, famine would disappear, and no one would starve again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirogai sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But the World Government never develops Devil Fruit research for the sake of common people or refugees.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aokiji paused mid-bite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You seem to know a lot about the World Government's research projects.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not all the details, but the intention is obvious.\" Shirogai's gaze fixed on the roaring waves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They have always tried to replicate Devil Fruit powers and mass-produce powerful users.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aokiji leaned back, looking at him with a lazy half-smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This world needs order. The chaos caused by pirates won't bring progress.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're stalling me, Aokiji, right?\" Shirogai said suddenly, his tone dropping cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aokiji blinked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You noticed? Then why are you still willing to sit here with me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirogai's smile sharpened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How do you know you're the one stalling me, and not the other way around?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aokiji stiffened for a moment, then laughed awkwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Arararara, Shirogai, don't tell me you're planning to cause another major incident like last time. Is this a clone? Is your real body about to sneak into Mariejois again?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did I scare you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirogai looked amused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aokiji, the Gorosei just arrived in Water 7.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know,\" Aokiji replied with a lazy shrug.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They couldn't stop you, so they sent me as a backup, hoping I could slow you down.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Gorosei wanted to make a bet with me. The stake was Robin. I refused.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Was it about canceling Nico Robin's bounty?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's right.\" Shirogai's voice was dismissive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bounties are nothing more than printed announcements pretending to show the World Government's authority. They're worthless to me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just waste paper, huh?\" Aokiji smirked, sensing the complete lack of fear behind the words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wind whistled through the frozen streets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aokiji looked toward the reddish-white smoke rising through the storm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems CP-9 succeeded. The Sea Train is departing soon. You're still sitting here calmly, Shirogai. Aren't you worried Nico Robin will fall into the hands of the Government?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No,\" Shirogai replied calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My companions will bring Robin back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Straw Hat Pirates flashed briefly through Aokiji's mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Straw Hat Luffy, swordsman Zoro, Black Leg Sanji, and the long-nosed sniper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You really think they can defeat CP-9?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shirogai leaned forward slightly, a sharp glint in his eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aokiji, want to bet on it? I bet CP-9 won't stand a chance against my crew.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't get careless, Shirogai.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aokiji exhaled thoughtfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew Lucci's strength well, and he knew the harsh training CP-9 received from childhood. The Straw Hats had barely grasped the basics of Haki. To him, the outcome seemed clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even so, Aokiji remembered Luffy's strength vividly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he knew Luffy's true lineage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Monkey D. Luffy, grandson of his teacher, Monkey D.
