Chapter 214

It was hard to believe what I heard. Even with Rotret's experience, this has not happened yet. Admiral, and even a revolutionary? What a joke ... But what's the point in lying to him? Getting to the leader of the Revolutionary Army in such a stupid way? It is highly doubtful. Such a risk and outright lie would definitely not be effective. This will only work if he was not lying ... But now the swordsman simply did not want to believe it.

- Revolutionary ... You? - Rotret looked around Kuzan and asked with a sneer: - Are you trying to deceive me?

- Looks like I'm lying? - all the same coldly took Aokiji away. With all his appearance, he showed confidence in his own words. It was immediately clear that he was not going to chat about it anymore.

Rotret snorted and turned around.

- I don't care, get out of here. If we meet at sea ...

- If we meet there, you are not my opponent. I did not come to visit you - I came to Dragon and now is not the time for our disagreements with you. You are the commander, report me to the leader! If you want a fight, I’m at your service as soon as it’s over.

Turning abruptly, Rotret growled:

- Get out! I'm not going to help the watchdog! If you are such a secret agent, then you must have a way ... - Rotret stopped in mid-sentence, just at the moment when a flock of ravens appeared not far from Aokiji. After another moment, the black birds gathered in a silhouette, which gradually appeared. A pale and bald masked man appeared near Kuzan.

- Karasu? You ... - Rotret frowned: - So he was not lying?

Karasu glanced at his companion and nodded slowly, giving him time to think. He himself did not really believe this "secret agent", but Dragon's order was not discussed ...

Following Rotret's expression, a dull murmur came from Karasu's lips. Although, he quickly realized his problem and immediately turned on the loudspeaker. As soon as he did this, his rough voice swept through the area:

- The leader warned that this man might come to Barasau ... He said to accompany, - fixing a cold gaze on the former admiral, Karasu threw only one word: - Let's go.

After, the man gave a short nod to Rotret and, turning into a flock of crows, slowly flew north towards the small ship. Rotret looked after them and frowned more and more. He just didn't want to believe Kuzan's words, but the situation proved otherwise ...

Kuzan turned out to be Dragon's secret agent? Such news could shake the whole world. This man was so close to the title of Admiral of the Fleet, it seemed just unrealistic.

Rotret himself was on assignments for a long time. Unlike other army commanders, although he had the rank of commander, he did not command the soldiers. He also had minimal information, especially about all the agents. Most often, his mission was the introduction and collection of information, but Kuzan ... To join the Marines and rise to the rank of Admiral, this task seemed too incredible. It is worth noting that in those days Aokiji had just stepped over his majority. An undercover agent at that age? No wonder he was able to become an admiral. It is also understandable why no one was dedicated to this matter, any mistake could be worth decades of work. Now, it looked like the truth, otherwise Karasu would not have been sent here ...

But what made him go for such a thing? Such self-control does not appear in people just like that.

Although Kuzan was somewhat lucky. If he was here a few days earlier, the Sea Devil might not be so welcoming, especially considering the alcohol in his blood and the old promise to a friend. It is possible that Kuzan would not have survived this meeting, and Rotret would definitely not have been against it.

With a scowl, Rotret decided not to worry about it for now. An agent is an agent, with Dragon this is quite possible ... Although, the unpleasant feeling has not disappeared anywhere. If possible, Rotret wanted revenge, but now ... Everything turned out to be so complicated. Now all that was left was to wait for the end of everything. But in the end, their own strength is clearly not enough for this. Insist on More's promise in the old days? Maybe, but ... Does Kuzan really have to die now?

Returning to the drinking crowd, Rotret snatched a bottle from one of the pirates and drained it in one gulp. Now it was definitely worth getting drunk!

Far from all this hustle and bustle, under the light of the beautiful moon, Rebecca and Viola gazed at the stars. Lying on the soft grass, the girls remembered the past days with smiles. Everyone drank and enjoyed themselves, and none of those present looked like a bloodthirsty pirate at all, especially the Yonko crew. The rest may have held back because of them, but they were not at all modest and at the same time did not cause rejection. These pirates really turned out to be one of the few in the world who sought adventure, not wealth and power.

Not far from the two beauties, Kyros and Sanji were sipping wine. Over the past few days, the gladiator has completely cooled down and has ceased to worry too much about his daughter. When she scattered a dozen annoying pirates, he, proud of his daughter, finally calmed down. It was also gratifying that James D. More got married and is now not sticking to her. And in a sober mind, he behaved clearly more calmly.

After taking a few sips and glancing at the girls, Kyros turned to Sanji. He lay on the grass and exhaled cigarette smoke. At this holiday he hardly cooked, except that he was engaged in a cake for the captain. This turned out to be a kind of gift. Special ingredients from Dressrosa, they are not at all what you can find on every corner. Therefore, the cake turned out to be so delicious. It's a pity not everyone tried it, one greedy person in a straw hat quickly capitalized everything. Then, almost for the first time, a fight broke out between the sisters of the Empress and poor Luffy. Remembering that now, Sanji just chuckled. Rarely did they have such carefree days as this month. It was worth appreciating them and ... Making a choice.

Glancing at Viola, Sanji involuntarily broke into a warm smile. Kyros grunted and asked:

- So you got ready too?

- What are you going to? - the cook did not understand.

- Get married.

Sanji coughed and stood up abruptly. The girls immediately noticed them. Sanji chuckled at them and then whispered to Kyros.

- What are you talking about?

“About Viola, of course,” the man said quite loudly.

Sanji's face changed and lifted a finger to his lips.

- Shh! Hush you ... - casting a glance at the distracted girls, the man exhaled with relief: - Don't joke like that. She's perfect, but ... What kind of wedding? As if she would agree ...

Kyros chuckled and shook his head.

- How do you know? You know, a simple gladiator, but I made up my mind at the time. And in general, you will not try, you will not know.

"Well, yes," Sanji sighed, "I'm a pirate, and ... I still have a lot to do at sea." I doubt she will wait ...

“We’ll find out,” the man chuckled, and took a sip of wine: “Haa! Glorious wine, no worse than ours! The drinker tastes good.

Sanji chuckled wryly.

- This is our richer North, as you sleep - you can thank.

- Ha-ha, definitely!
