Chapter 23

Holy Land - Mary Geoise

Five people are discussing something in the meeting hall.

"Recently, there is news of Hades appearing in the sea again!" An old man wearing a black suit, white curly hair, and a scar on his left face said with a cane.

"They can't find Hades." The old man with two eight-shaped beards and a birthmark on his forehead said.

"But this trend must be stopped." The old man with a long white beard said.

"Let the navy solve it. It has to do something with so much money every year." The blond old man said his thoughts.

"What do you think?" The four looked at the man sitting in a chair wearing a white Taoist robe and holding a samurai sword in his hand. It seems that the four still care about his answer.

"Okay, but you can't attack the Neferutari family."

"Second."

"Second."

"............."

In this way, five old men at the peak of power used this short meeting to determine the fate of many people.

Navy Headquarters - Marineford.

"What happened to Marshal Sora again?" Sengoku asked Steel Sora who was sitting in the marshal's chair.

Then he looked at the people around him who were sloppy and couldn't help but scolded: "Garp! Be serious in front of Marshal Sora!"

But Garp on the side said: "I'm very serious." After saying that, he turned his head and picked his nose.

"Forget it, Garp, I'm used to this. Sengoku, don't be too stressed." Steel Sora comforted.

"I just talked to the Five Elders on the phone. They asked us to deal with the situation in Alabasta. So I'm going to discuss with you who to send."

"Those five old men are worried about some ancient weapons again." Garp on the side said in a disdainful tone.

"Garp!!!"

Sengoku is already on the verge of an explosion. Recently, in the process of power transfer, as he knows more and more secrets, the pressure is getting greater and greater. He is worried that he is not qualified for this position.

"I'll go with Kuzan."

Kymboldt and Sengoku were surprised to hear what Garp said, because since the death of Pirate King Roger, Garp usually takes vacation whenever he can. As a naval hero, he has almost become a mascot.

Sengoku was even a little relieved and said to himself: "Garp also knows how to feel sorry for me and helps me share the pressure."

But Garp said again: "I'm quite interested in that Ryan kid. When I came here, I heard that Kuzan was going to Alabasta to find him."

Sengoku: ".........."

"Nothing, I'll leave. By the way, Sengoku, why are you so gloomy!"

Sengoku couldn't bear it anymore and punched Garp.

"Vice Admiral Garp didn't expect you to go with me." Kuzan, who was following behind Garp, said to Garp excitedly.

Garp said indifferently: "It was Philip who told me that this kid has a sense of justice, so I'd better bring him here to serve as a navy officer."

"Colonel Philip? He didn't tell me last time I went to Gothic Kingdom!" Kuzan said puzzledly.

"That kid was my former subordinate. Of course he came to me if he had any problems." Garp grabbed a handful of donuts and ate them while mumbling.

"Let's go now. If we go too late, they will run away when we arrive."

Kuzan was still upset about not meeting Ryan in Gothic Kingdom last time. He was so active in doing the mission. But he didn't want to come up empty-handed.

Last time, Kuzan found out after investigating that his good friend Ron did something that was humiliating to the navy, but it was an indisputable fact that Ryan killed his friend.

And Kuzan, who had been influenced by Zefa and Garp for a long time, didn't think that someone as murderous as Ryan could be righteous. There were no less than a thousand people who died in the hands of Ryan in Gothic Kingdom alone, and one of them was the king of a member country of the World Government.

So Kuzan had to see with his own eyes what kind of person Ryan was that could make Vice Admiral Garp interested in him.

In this way, the two of them led a group of navy officers from Marinford to Alabasta.

At this time, Ryan had just gotten up. After washing and getting dressed, he was about to do some stretching exercises when he saw Kidd rushing in and scared Ryan.

"Captain, you're on the news."

Ryan looked at Kidd with a puzzled look and said, "How can we be on the news when we're always floating on the sea?"

"It's the news from Alabasta." Kidd took a breath and continued.

He took the newspaper from Kidd's handRyan started reading. Ryan's face darkened instantly.

He saw the big headline on the news: "Shock! The great pirate bloody swordsman Ryan said he had the supreme big sword!"

Ryan angrily cursed at the air.

"This is slander!"

"He is slandering me!"

"Captain, then why don't we fight for it? It's embarrassing if we can't get it after we've said it." Kidd fanned the flames.

"Fight, we must get it!"

In fact, Ryan was not only because of face, but also because of another more important reason. If Ryan got the supreme big sword "Night" that originally belonged to Hawkeye, it would mean that Ryan could change history with his own power.

Then Ryan could change the fate of Ace and Shanks. This was an attempt by Ryan, an alternative challenge to fate.

There is no need to rush to Alba. If you go there quickly, you can get there in less than a day. Ryan plans to go to the rainy land first. If Robin is in Alabasta, the last possible place is the rainy land, which is Crocodile's base camp.

Ryan took everyone to the tavern to drink and find out the news.

No matter where, the tavern is the best choice for finding out the news. The people coming and going in the tavern are very complicated. It can be said that there are people from all walks of life. The tavern is also a place for the spread of public opinion.

Just when Ryan and his party arrived at the door of the tavern, they heard someone discussing him.

"Have you heard that the bloody swordsman Ryan said that the supreme big knife is in his pocket."

"What bloody swordsman is all exaggerated. What kind of record is a newcomer." A young man with a delicate appearance said.

"That's right, just killing a few navy officers will get a bounty of 200 million. Most of you here have killed them before." Someone echoed.

At this time, Ryan and his group walked in. Some sharp-eyed people saw them and silently expected a conflict between the two sides.

The young man's companion also saw Ryan and his group and hurriedly tried to stop them.

Suddenly, a murderous intent came over him, and the blood in his body seemed to have coagulated and he stood there motionless.

A man with two sexy mustaches in the tavern had his pupils shrink and couldn't help but exclaimed: "What an amazing murderous intent!"

The big man next to him scratched his head and asked in confusion: "Is there? Why didn't I feel it?"

"You are not a swordsman, of course you can't feel it, there is a good show to watch!"

And the young man saw his companion sweating and laughed: "Are you afraid? Afraid of the bloody swordsman with pockmarks on his face?"

"What's wrong with pockmarks?" A cold voice came from behind.

The young man said without thinking: "Pockmarked people are ugly."

Seeing that Ryan was about to get angry, Bailey shouted: "All the idlers get out, hurry up or you will die without knowing how."

Before Bailey finished speaking, a sharp sword intent emanated from Ryan.

Instantly, everyone in the tavern felt as if their bodies were in endless sword energy and were constantly cut by the sword energy.

"Say what you just said again." Ryan's cold words came again.

At this time, someone couldn't stand the torture of being constantly cut by a sword, and ran out shouting. The moment they went out, a group effect was triggered. A group of people followed and ran out. Only a few people were left in the huge tavern.

They felt that staying in there for one more second was torture. Although Ryan's sword intent was not fatal, it was very torturous and frightening.

And the young man finally realized that something was wrong and turned around.

"Blood...blood..."

When the young man saw Ryan's face, he was frightened to death, and the tavern was filled with a foul smell.

Ryan certainly knew that when a person is talking bad about someone behind his back, people with poor psychological endurance will be frightened.

But the reaction of the young man in front of him was too much. Seeing this, Ryan immediately lost interest and turned to Bailey behind him and said, "You come and kill him."

Bailey: ".............."

"Kid, you go!"

"Kira is up to you!"

Kira drew out his knife and chopped the young man who was still frightened without hesitation.

The representative of keyboard warriors in the pirate world.

When Ryan and his party walked to the door, they found that a group of spectators were blocking Ryan from getting out. Ryan had no choice but to release his domineering aura, and all the spectators fell to the ground in an instant.

The road was cleared and Ryan and his party left.

The man who had previously praised Ryan's murderous aura in the tavern sighed again: "So arrogant!"

The big man next to him also echoed: "It feels more arrogant than my father."
