Chapter 279 - Weird Quirks?
I Got it!
Tashigi stood holding the Black Blade Shusui, her face filled with an excited and joyful smile.
Her powerlessness in the face of Koby these days had brought to mind the harsh words Will had said to her, but she had never thought of giving up!
And the sword seemed to reward her tenacity and hard work with an unexplainable sense of accomplishment!
In contrast, Koby has a face of helplessness and is a little bit indignant. If it weren't for his teacher Will to treat him too much, and he was also embarrassed to hit Tashigi with a heavy blow, how could he capsize in the gutter just now?
It's just that his kind nature makes him unable to complain, and he can only expect his unreliable teacher to be merciful. It's scary to think about it!
However, his fear came!
The crowd was rising, but Will walked out of the crowd at some point and smiled darkly at Koby.
Koby shuddered subconsciously, it's over!
But Will didn't do anything to him but looked at the nervous face of Tashigi, who was holding Shusui, as if afraid that Will would not keep his word and snatch it back, after all, she used dishonourable means, sneak attack, cheating, and also made full use of Koby's chauvinism.
However, her worry was not necessary.
"Let's go, there's a warship coming outside, it should be here to take you back."
After saying that, he didn't forget to turn around and glare at Koby before turning away.
Although it's a reputable sword it's just a sword for him. For him who is neither short of money nor uses a sword, its value is far inferior to an ordinary devil fruit. Rather than putting it in his place to compile ashes, it is better to give it to a real swordsman.
Plus giving it to a swordsman like Tashigi is not a disgrace to its identity as one of the famous Swords.
It's just his compensation for being a hostage these days.
She saw that Will really didn't mean to ask her for the black sword shusui, and immediately put it away as if relieved, so that she was finally one step closer to the dream she had so boldly promised!
And now it's time to go back!
Tashigi followed Will firmly, and before leaving, she did not forget to gesture at Koby with apologetic eyes. If it weren't for time, she would definitely apologize to Koby.
Although Koby has grown a lot taller and is almost 1.5 meters tall, he is still mentally similar to a child. The little grievances in his heart have disappeared with Tashigi's actions, and he is still reluctant to see her leaving.
When Will arrived at the port with Tashigi, he was surprised to see who came as his eyes widened!
He thought it was just Smoker who had come to pick up Tashigi, but he didn't expect that Sengoku and Garp actually came with him, was this a war?
"You guys stand down first."
Looking at this rattling tension, Will was really afraid that whoever had gone off the rails would lead to a war, and doing so without knowing the other party's intentions was undoubtedly a very foolish act.
As soon as the main backbone showed up, the guards left behind by Tesoro immediately breathed a sigh of relief. It's strange not to be afraid!
"You're not going to take advantage of such a big battle, are you? Wasn't it enough to kill one of the Four Emperors? Or don't tell me you're ready to do it again?"
Walking forward, Will ignored Tashigi, who was behind Smoker already and looked at the White-haired Sengoku instead.
Well actually, he is quite concerned about Smoker seeing his appearance, what's wrong with this guy? He is soaked to the bone, did they get caught in a storm on the way here? Or does this guy like to take baths with his clothes on? Do all Logia Devil Fruit used to have weird quirks?
Will couldn't help but frequently look at Smoker with his stubborn face.
He would have never imagined that Smoker would look like this because the two old men, Sengoku and Garp, because his cigar smoking was too much for his health they threw him overboard!
If Will knew, he'd be laughing his ass off! Will will definitely tease Smoker when I see him again!
Smoker, who was putting on a foul face, apparently noticed Will's strange face and strange eyes.
Or, to put it bluntly, if there was a real fight, it would be none of his business.
Tashigi held her new sword in her arms, but before being dragged away by Smoker, she didn't forget that Will had taken care of her during this time, although his words were cruel, but also very true, plus the Sword gift, Tashigi thought about it and very politely bowed to him as a thank you.
Smoker, who was in a bad mood, saw that the adjutant he valued was so respectful to a pirate.
And it made his face as dark as the bottom of a pot, and he pulled her collar so that he slid away from the cute Tashigi directly as she didn't even give him the last chance to say goodbye.
At this time, Will only came alone, and among the people who came to the island. It's only Garp and Sengoku who landed. The rest of the navy stayed on the warship. Although he doesn't know what Sengoku commanded, but from their nervous looks, he could see that his fierce reputation was becoming more and more alarming.
As soon as Smoker and his men left, only Sengoku and Garp were left in front of Will.
Even a fool could see that the purpose of Two Big Shots of the navy coming here was not to start a war.
So when Sengoku smilingly looked to his left and right, Will also waved his hand and sent everyone back.
Time has passed, and now facing Sengoku and Garp alone has not shaken his confidence.
And if he wanted to, he could join hands with Redfield and others to keep all the navy in front of him on this island!
This is the bottom line that comes with great strength!
"It shouldn't be worth it for the former Fleet Admiral and Naval Hero to pick up a colonel and take her home, should it? Is it because you're afraid I won't keep my word or because you're worried that even Smoker might fall for it?"
"Well~ I've never questioned your words, Will!"
Sengoku looked like he was laughing as if he had forgotten the fact that Akainu was the one who died in his hands, and anyone who didn't know him would have seen him as a kindhearted old man, absolutely no matter what, and he wouldn't also be associated with the Buddha's Sengoku who had almost blocked the rescue operation of the entire Whitebeard Pirates during the War of the Best!
In fact, after stepping down from the Fleet Admiral duties, Sengoku as a whole person is indeed different, he is a lot more relaxed, and his smile has become more frequent.
If it weren't for the fact that there are still too many bad things to borrow from his experience, and that the new Fleet Admiral is still too green, he would not have come to the muddy waters again.
