The Accino Family

Grand Line, Lovely Island.

At this time, a Vice Admiral-class Marine warship slowly sailed into the waters of a winter island.

"Vice Admiral Momonga, we have arrived at the territory of the banner hunters."

On this warship, a sailor loudly reported to his superior.

This is a Vice Admiral of the Naval Headquarters.

In order to fill up the seats of Shichibukai, Naval Headquarters sent out the veteran Vice Admiral.

"This Don Accino can easily defeat pirates with a bounty of over 100 million, and his strength should reach the level of Shichibukai."

Vice Admiral Momonga stood on the bow of the ship. His face was a little tired and wrinkled, and he looked much older than a few months ago.

After the Summit War, most of the Marine generals had a little more gloom on their faces.

Especially for the fall of Impel down, it is likely that he led the Pirate Empress Boa Hancock to visit Fire Fist Ace, which led to Basire sneaking into Impel down.

This speculation made him feel uncomfortable during this period, and he often fell into self-condemnation.

For this reason, he has recently been very active in performing tasks and making up for his mistakes.

However, this mission involved the Shichibukai, which somewhat shadowed him.

As a hawkish Vice Admiral, he also dislikes the Shichibukai system.

Last time in the Summit War, the rebellion of Basire, the Pirate Empress, and Gecko Moria was a wake-up call.

Pirates are pirates, just a bunch of wolves, no matter how hard they are raised!

But now that the World Government has not canceled the Shichibukai system for the time being, Naval Headquarters will continue to perform these invitation tasks.

The target of the invitation this time was pretty good, not a pirate, but a group of pirate hunters.

This Accino family is a group of flag hunters who are keen on collecting pirate flags and catching bounty criminals. They are also very powerful and are very suitable candidates for the Shichibukai.

As the warship entered the central area of the Flag Island waters, a blazing volcanic island actually appeared in the winter island waters.

This is Don Accino's base camp, Lovely Island, also called the Searing Island.

And Don Accino is a person with the ability of the Paramecia Hot Fruit. He is a scorching person who can heat his own body temperature to 10,000 degrees. He can easily soak in magma as if it was just a hot spring and has amazing destructive power.

Don Accino's Hot Fruit ability is mainly to heat his own temperature, while Charlotte Oven of the Big Mom Pirates' Heat Fruit ability is mainly to heat external objects and can boil the sea, which is very suitable for dealing with fish-men.

On Lovely Island, people from the Accino family also saw the arrival of this warship.

They are pirate hunters and have no bounty on them, so they are not afraid of these Marines at all. Besides, they are still in their own territory. Even if a Marine Vice Admiral comes, he may not be their opponent.

Besides, they have captured so many criminals with bounties on them, so they can be regarded as Marine's 'good friends'.

Don Accino has three sons, two daughters, a son-in-law, and a large number of minions under his command.

Among these minions were the crew members of the pirate group who were defeated by them. These pirates who were greedy for life and fearful of death volunteered to become the lackeys of the Accino family in order to survive.

There are even some pirate elites among them, with good combat effectiveness.

"Father, Marines usually don't enter our territory. I don't know what they want to do this time."

The eldest son, Campacino, said to his father. He is also the combat consultant of the Accino family.

"We'll find out when they come over!"

Don Accino lay half naked on the sun lounger and drank a drink leisurely. He was very confident in his own strength so he was not afraid of anyone in this Grand Line's Paradise.

With a temperature of 10,000 degrees, he can even use the lava of Marine Admiral Akainu as a hot spring.

Soon, Vice Admiral Momonga landed on Lovely Island amidst the vigilance of the Accino family.

Lovely Island in this cold winter island sea is very hot up there.

At a simple glance, you can tell that it is the handiwork of Don Accino.

With his hot fruit ability, he can melt a piece of rock to create magma by himself.

"Head of the Accino family, this time I am here on behalf of the World Government to invite you to become a Shichibukai. I wonder what you think of this idea?"

Momonga took out an invitation letter and handed it over with a serious face.

Don Accino's Hot Fruit is indeed quite tricky, but as an elite Vice Admiral of Naval Headquarters, he is a master of armament haki and is also a veteran swordsman, so he is not afraid of this scorching man.

As long as he was not attacked closely by Don Accino, this high temperature could not do anything to him.

And his armament haki and flying slashes are very effective against someone like this scorching man.

It won't be as unreasonable as the Pirate Queen's devil fruit, which will turn you to stone if you look at her for a few more times.

"What, they are inviting Father to become a Shichibukai?"

The third son, Hockera, suddenly shouted excitedly. He did not expect that bounty hunters like them would also have the opportunity to become members of the Shichibukai for legal plunder.

After that, not only can they capture criminals for their bounties, but they can even directly go out and rob any merchant ships and islands legally.

"Hohoho~, you Marines finally realized how powerful I am?"

Don Accino suddenly stood up from the sun lounger and quickly accepted the invitation letter. This was the recognition of his strength by the World Government.

From now on, he will also be a big boss.

"Does the Accino family accept this invitation?"

Vice Admiral Momonga also showed a smile. It seemed that the mission went smoothly this time and there were no accidents.

"If I don't do it, it will be in vain. Now I can also plunder legally in the future, so why not do it?!"

Don Accino also grinned, then he can legally expand his territory and legally plunder everything he likes.

Moreover, becoming a Shichibukai is quite worth it. Just take a look at the Shichibukai in the Summit War. They were either messing around or rebelling, and there was almost no danger for them.

In the future, he can rebel even if he doesn't want to work any longer, and maybe he can enter the New World and become one of the Yonkō like Daddy Basire.

After all, Big Mom is also in her sixties or seventies. After the death of the old guy Whitebeard, this old woman has also become the target of many pirates.

In this world, every strong person will grow old and lose their original strength eventually.

The replacement of old people by a new generation is an inevitable event in history.

"Then please register at Naval Headquarters tomorrow, and we will announce you as the new Shichibukai!"

Momonga began to describe the follow-up procedures, and then prepared to leave and return to Marineford.

However, at this moment, there was a noise outside, and there seemed to be a bit of panic in people's faces.

"What happened?!!"

The happy Don Accino suddenly cursed outside angrily, his body literally burning with anger.

"Big Daddy...The golden flying ship of the Big Daddy Pirates is here!!!"

A man ran in tripping and rolling in the ground before crawling the rest of the distance, shouting in fear because that golden ship was well known as one of the ships belonging to the new Yonkō.

Now it may be Daddy Basire who is here!
