Chapter 45 Aokiji Arrives at Cocoyasi Village
Ding, that's because Branch 16 is considered a very small island.
Ding! The main problem is that this isn't the New World. There, any island has tens of thousands of people. But in this small East China Sea, there are only two or three thousand people on this island.
Ding! Of course, there are also islands with large populations in the East China Sea, but we just haven't encountered them yet.
Ding! So, host! I really did not embezzle anything.
After listening to the system's explanation, Minos's depressed mood finally improved a bit.
Minos thought to himself, "It seems that if I want to become stronger and become the absolute strongest, I must go to the New World."
After all, there are many strong individuals and many civilians there, so naturally the kill count will be high. (⌒▽⌒)
With this pleasant feeling in his heart, Minos soon lay down and fell asleep among the flowers.
……
While Minos was asleep, great changes took place outside.
In the waters off Cocosia Village, a tall man with slightly curly hair, an unattractive face, wearing white casual clothes, and riding a bicycle walks on the sea.
This is a very peculiar scene: a person is actually riding a bicycle on the sea without falling in.
If someone looks closely, they will notice an icy path beneath the bicycle ridden by the tall man.
The only creature that can ride a bicycle on the open sea is Aokiji.
Aokiji is a Logia-type Devil Fruit user with the Ice-Ice Fruit. Given his immense strength and mastery of the Ice-Ice Fruit's abilities, it's quite reasonable for him to freeze a path to walk on.
Aokiji: "That makes perfect sense, doesn't it?" (＾v＾)
As for why Aokiji came to Cocoyasi Village?
That was because the Warring States period sent him to investigate the disappearance of Colonel Rat.
After a period of travel, Aokiji finally arrived at the port of Cocoyasi Village.
However, as soon as they arrived at the port of Cocoyasi Village, Aokiji noticed something was wrong.
That is, even though Colonel Rat's warship was already docked in the port, there was not a single person on board.
This puzzled Aokiji greatly. Logically, there should have been soldiers guarding the warship, but why was there not a single soldier present?
What's even stranger is that the Sengoku Marshal said that the 16th Division of the Navy would also come to Cocoyasi Village to investigate the disappearance of Colonel Rat.
But why is it that he, a naval admiral, has already arrived at Cocoyasi Village, while the 16th branch of the navy has not yet arrived?
Where is there such a thing as a naval admiral or a branch of naval soldiers?
Aokiji, unable to understand, thought that the 16th Branch Navy was too lazy, even being late for something like this.
"It seems that after we finish dealing with things here, we must report to Marshal Sengoku and have him give the 16th Division a good talking-to," Aokiji whispered.
But what Aokiji didn't know was that when he later realized what was happening and went to Branch 16, he found a huge surprise left for him by Minos. (⌒▽⌒)
Aokiji finally set foot on the port of Cocoyasi Village, but as soon as he arrived, he smelled a bloody stench.
The pungent smell of blood made her already bad mood even worse, and her brows furrowed even more.
Aokiji knew without a doubt that something significant had happened here. Although the pungent smell of blood had been briefly washed away, it was still too strong for a powerful person like him.
Aokiji was right; the port of Cocoyasi Village had indeed been cleaned.
After Minos left, the villagers of Cocoyasi were both happy and terrified.
Minos helped them defeat the dragon and other fish (humans), which made them very happy. However, Minos later killed the navy, which terrified them.
The navy is indeed despicable, and they are very happy that the villain, Colonel Rat, has been killed.
However, if the Navy finds out that the Navy Captain died in Cocoyasi Village, they will not be able to escape responsibility, as the villagers of Cocoyasi Village no longer trust the Navy.
Under these circumstances, Nokiko, A-Jen, and others organized the villagers of Cocoyasi Village to first clean up the bloodstains left by Minos. Finally, they decided not to reveal anything about Minos.
The villagers of Cocoyasi are grateful and would never betray Minos.
……
The arrival of Aokiji caused a great stir in Cocoyasi Village.
When some villagers saw Aokiji arrive, they secretly ran to Nokiko's house and A-Jian's house to ask what they should do now.
The arrival of Minos caused a great deal of trouble, and now another unknown person has arrived. They are terrified that something big will happen again.
Nojiko was leaning against her window, resting her head on her hand and whispering something unintelligible.
But if someone listened carefully, they would hear: "Nami, where are you?! Now that Dragon Park and Colonel Rat are dead, no one is bullying us anymore, and you won't be suffering like this. Please come back!"
"Finally, Nojiko added, 'And that cool guy in black, who are you?!' (⌒▽⌒)"
But just then, a sound came from outside Nojiko's door, along with the sound of knocking on the door.
Two people arrived at Nokigo's door at that moment. One was the villager who had come to deliver the news, and the other was naturally A-Jian.
After receiving the news, A-Jian and that villager came to Nuoqi Gao to discuss countermeasures.
"Bang bang bang! Noki, something terrible has happened! Open the door right now!"
Nojiko, who was deep in thought, was instantly jolted awake by the sudden sound.
Hearing A-Jian's anxious and hurried shouts outside, Nokiko rushed to the door and opened it.
Before Ken could speak, Nojiko asked anxiously, "Ken, what happened? Did something happen to Nami?"
In Nojiko's mind, now that the dragon and Colonel Rat have been eliminated, the village should be in no great danger, and there shouldn't be anything that could threaten it now.
So, it must be that something happened to Nami that made A-Jian so anxious and agitated.
Seeing Nojiko's worried expression towards Nami, A-Jian also thought of that poor girl Nami, but now he didn't know where she was.
When Nojiko saw that Ken wasn't saying anything, she thought that something had really happened to Nami.
With a pale and weak expression, he said, "Impossible, absolutely impossible. Nami is so smart, she would never be in trouble."
Seeing Nojiko's flustered state, A-Jian guessed that Nojiko might have misunderstood and quickly said, "Nojiko, calm down, it's not that Nami is in trouble!"
Nojiko, who was still feeling down, was a little confused when she heard what Ken said. Why was he in such a hurry if Nami was in trouble? Wasn't he just embarrassing me?
Seeing the puzzled look in Nokiko's eyes, A-Jian had no choice but to explain.
"Now another person has arrived in Cocoyasi Village, but we don't know what they're here for."
“We are now worried that someone will come to our Cocoyasi village to cause trouble, or it may be the navy coming to investigate the cause of death of Captain Rat.”
When Nokiko heard what A-Jian said, her face was also filled with worry.
Neither of these situations is ideal. What can be done if they come looking for trouble? What if the Navy comes to investigate Captain Rat?
“Don’t be afraid, Nokiko. Let’s go to the port first and then make a plan,” A-Jian comforted him.
After hearing A-Jian's comforting words, Noki's worries lessened considerably.
After just a few simple words, Nojiko and Ken headed towards the port of Cocoyasi Village.
