Chapter 456: Aokiji's Solemnity

"Bring the ship over!"

Zhang Zhang Jie decided to cosplay as the "Ship-Ramming King."

However, compared to Jack, the reckless man who wouldn't turn back even if he hit a wall, he surpassed him in both strength and means.

"Buzz, understood."

The intelligent system *Black God* controlled the *Black God* to turn slightly and head toward the direction where Aokiji was.

"What is Aokiji coming to find me for?"

Zhang Zhang Jie tapped his fingers on the console, watching Aokiji approaching, and fell into thought.

As for Aokiji just passing by?

Although Zhang Zhang Jie felt that this possibility could not be completely ruled out,

perhaps Aokiji also had the hobby of playing the triathlon in the Calm Belt like old Rayleigh?

But being alone, and it just happened to be the direction he was heading, no matter how you look at it, it was aimed at him.

Zhang Zhang Jie was not very surprised that his location was exposed.

Although he had been traveling alone since leaving the Big Mom Pirates, he was not isolated from the world,

and when passing through some islands, he would still go up to purchase and replenish supplies.

The ship of the Black Bear Pirates before was sold by him after some repairs to a group that claimed to be a merchant fleet,

but no matter how you look at it, it was a large pirate fleet.

Zhang Zhang Jie naturally had no thoughts about this; there are so many pirates on the sea, if he didn't sell it, there would be others who would.

Zhang Zhang Jie's opinion on this is—you have to pay more!

With a premium of nearly double, Zhang Zhang Jie readily sold the *Black Bear* to that pirate fleet that urgently needed to expand its influence.

And with the influence of the Marines spread across every corner of the sea,

such actions naturally could not be hidden from them as interested parties.

Even if he entered the Calm Belt, with the Marines' powerful intelligence capabilities,

and the various strange Devil Fruits gathered, not to mention locking his location in real-time,

they could still predict the direction he was heading.

However, even if it was aimed at him, Zhang Zhang Jie was not afraid,

a Marine Admiral was not enough to make him retreat.

"Eh, is this discovering me?"

In the distance, Aokiji, who sensed the ship turning, was a little surprised, and even the action of pedaling the bicycle stopped for a moment.

"I'm just going to see what kind of sacred person this traitor of the Big Mom Pirates is!"

The interest in Aokiji's heart added a few more points, and the ice path under the wheels instantly began to spread toward the *Black God*.

On both sides, one was a high-tech ship full of black technology,

the other was an Admiral whose strength stood at the top of the pyramid, and the moving speed was naturally self-evident.

A while later, both sides had appeared within each other's line of sight,

looking at each other from afar across the sea that was like a piece of jasper.

Zhang Zhang Jie leaned on the railing on the deck, his lips opening and closing slightly: "Friends coming from afar,

is it not a joy? Admiral Aokiji has come from afar, why not come up and sit for a while?"

On the other side, listening to Zhang Zhang Jie's invitation, which was not used with much force, but was as clear as a whisper in the ear,

Aokiji's expression changed. If an expert makes a move, you know if there is one—first, the large-scale perception that exceeded expectations,

and then this effortless sound transmission, this traitor of the Big Mom Pirates,

the rising star of the sea who could make Kaido chase him relentlessly but be helpless, was indeed extraordinary.

The Marines are committed to maintaining the order of the sea, and pirates representing chaos and evil have always been their primary target,

especially Pirate Emperors like Kaido, whose strength and influence are extremely powerful,

and whose own behavior is difficult to predict, have always been under their close surveillance.

One of their three Marine Admirals, Akainu Sakazuki, has been on standby at the Marine branch in the New World,

ready to curb the growing ambitions of several Pirate Emperors at any time.

Regarding the matter of Kaido going crazy and killing his way into the territory of the Big Mom Pirates, Totto Land, causing huge damage to Totto Land,

and then calmly retreating under the siege of Big Mom and the Charlotte family cadres,

and then directly tracking Zhang Zhang Jie, attempting to have a battle with this rising star of the sea,

but being left far behind by Zhang Zhang Jie, who burst out with extreme speed, the Marine high-level officials knew it very well.

He came here this time also for this reason—a person who can go head-to-head with a Pirate Emperor without falling behind,

and has extreme speed that makes Pirate Emperors look up to him, is already an unquestionable top powerhouse of the sea.

For such a powerhouse, whether it is pirates, or their Marines,

or the World Government that rules the whole world, no force dares to underestimate him and pretend he doesn't exist.

"Then I will be disrespectful."

Aokiji smiled slightly, and the same clear voice sounded in Zhang Zhang Jie's ear,

at the same time, the ice path under the bicycle spread at dozens of times the speed before, and reached the front of the *Black God* in the blink of an eye.

"Powerhouses who can climb to the top of the world's strength pyramid really have a few tricks."

Listening to Aokiji's echo, Zhang Zhang Jie's heart tightened.

He can cross a sea area of thousands of meters and still speak in the ear, which is the super-enhanced version of the martial arts sound transmission method of the *Heaven-Dependent* and

*Heavenly Dragon* worlds, which was super-enhanced by Zhang Zhang Jie, who has extraordinary martial arts.

But in the *One Piece* world, which advocates brute force and muscle friction of big muscle men,

he seems to have never seen this kind of means, especially Aokiji's fruit is the Ice-Ice Fruit,

not other Paramecia Devil Fruits that have the ability to manipulate air, sound, etc.

"Young, really too young!"

While Zhang Zhang Jie was thinking about Aokiji's extraordinary means, Aokiji was also looking at Zhang Zhang Jie, this rising star who had become famous.

But Zhang Zhang Jie gave him the feeling that he was really too young.

Although Zhang Zhang Jie's height was taller than his, that kind of youth

and vitality that only young people have could not be faked at all.

What was he doing when he was Zhang Zhang Jie's age?

Well, he was still an ordinary Marine who had just joined the Marines,

training hard to join the Marine training camp taught by Admiral Zephyr.

The others, Sakazuki and Borsalino, were about the same.

Their three Marine Admirals are called monsters that appear once in a hundred years,

but he feels that the young man in front of him is the real monster!

Aokiji was shocked, but the movements under his feet did not stop, and the bicycle had already reached the front of the *Black God*.

Zhang Zhang Jie's face was full of smiles, and he enthusiastically invited: "Admiral Aokiji, please come up and talk."

"Thank you."

Aokiji clasped his fists slightly, and his ice-freezing ability operated, and steps made entirely of cold ice

appeared under his feet, until they were level with the deck of the *Black God*.

Zhang Zhang Jie tapped his finger lightly in the air, and the deck of the *Black God* changed,

and a set of vacation equipment with tables, chairs, and parasols appeared on the deck.

"What Devil Fruit ability is this?"

Looking at this scene, Aokiji's heart became more and more solemn.

In the battle with Big Mom, Zhang Zhang Jie had already shown defense that was nearly unbreakable like Big Mom's Iron Balloon

and space ability that could dodge most attacks,

meeting Kaido, he showed extreme speed that probably only Borsalino could suppress him in the whole sea,

and now he showed the ability to control the ship effortlessly.

Such powerful abilities, getting one would be enough to roam the sea, but Zhang Zhang Jie had them all.

He didn't even know which Devil Fruit ability was so comprehensive and terrifying.

"Admiral Aokiji, please have some tea."

Zhang Zhang Jie personally poured a cup of tea for Aokiji.

Influenced by the two Zhang Jies, one who mixed in the imperial court and one who mixed in the *Jianghu*,

who had to use wine to pull closer the relationship between courtiers and brothers,

plus the *One Piece* world also has the tradition of drinking, after all, on the drifting, extremely boring sea,

there is nothing more soothing than fine wine that can numb the nerves, he would also drink some wine.

But as their strength became stronger and stronger, the bodies of the Zhang Jies also became stronger and stronger,

and the high-proof spirits that could make ordinary people drunk to death, or even pure alcohol, were no different from plain water in their eyes,

even if they didn't use their internal energy to digest the alcohol, they wouldn't be drunk at all,

so the Zhang Jies didn't have the habit of drinking, and they all used tea to replace it. ===== CHAPTER 457 =====
