Chapter 553: First Encounter with Aokiji
But Ajuramaru did not respond to him.
But even so, Zoro didn't care too much, but kept recalling the previous feeling of surpassing his limits.
Although it lasted for a short time.
But it also brought him considerable gains, especially in the use of breathing techniques, which also improved a lot.
No time to think too much.
He immediately dragged his heavy body, picked up the three sharp blades in front of him, pushed open the cabin door and walked onto the deck.
Luffy at the bow saw this and laughed excitedly, "You're finally awake, Zoro!"
As for Nami beside him, she asked with concern, "Zoro, how do you feel now? Are you okay?"
Hearing this, Zoro raised his right hand and covered the back of his head which was still aching. Then he replied in a deep voice, "I'm sorry to have worried you, but I'm much better now."
Feeling the sea breeze constantly brushing across his face, Zoro's mood relaxed a lot.
But Chopper saw this and hurried over to his side, asking with concern, "Zoro, let me check you again."
"Then trouble you."
Zoro did not refuse and just let Chopper check his injuries.
Until the inspection is completed.
Chopper then slowly spoke, "Although you are out of danger, your injuries are still too serious. It is best not to exercise during this period."
“Is exercise prohibited?”
Zoro felt his body briefly and did not refute anything. After all, his injuries were indeed too serious.
However, breakage is prohibited.
But it doesn't mean that you can't practice breathing techniques.
After a brief exchange with a few people on the ship, Zoro sat cross-legged on the deck and practiced his breathing technique as if no one was around.
And time flies by.
Just in the blink of an eye.
It was already a month later.
At this moment, on the Merry, Usopp in the lookout on the sail, holding a telescope, saw the island not far away and shouted hurriedly.
"Luffy, it looks like there's an uninhabited island ahead!"
"Really? That's great!" Luffy said with a smile, "Lower the sails and anchor, and let's go to the island!"
While talking.
The Merry docked and dropped anchor.
Everyone on the boat also landed on the island one after another. After crossing the beach, a dense forest appeared in everyone's sight.
Look at the forest in front of you.
Sanji stood on the far right, took a puff of his cigarette, and then spoke in a deep voice, "There isn't much food left on the ship, so it's a good opportunity to replenish it here."
And Chopper, who was in the middle of the group, followed closely and said, "Then I also want to collect some more medicinal herbs here."
Hearing the two's request, Luffy showed his signature smile, "Of course, let's go now!"
After that, several people stepped into the forest together, walked along the forest path, and continued to collect food and medicinal materials.
But while walking.
Usopp also noticed the very conspicuous ditch on the path, "Luffy, did you notice? What's the matter with the ditch in the middle of the road?"
Looking at the shallow gully, Zoro said in a deep voice, "Why does this gully look like it was created by a bicycle?"
But the words just fell.
Sanji, who was walking on the side, retorted with a cigarette in his mouth, "Don't be ridiculous, this is an uninhabited island, there is no one here, where can we get a bicycle?"
Nami followed suit and nodded slightly in agreement, "That's true."
But as several people continued to go deeper.
After walking out of the forest, what comes into view is the center of the island, which is an empty space.
In this open space, there was only a huge rock standing in the center, and on one side of the rock stood a tall figure.
He was about three meters tall, thin, and wore a white shirt, and his hairstyle looked like a jet-black spade.
Under that strange hairstyle, there was a face with an eye mask, making it difficult to see his features clearly.
But Robin saw it at first sight.
He had already recognized the other person's identity, and was even so frightened that he collapsed to the ground, with uncontrollable fear in his eyes.
Luffy, who was not far away, became nervous when he saw this and asked with concern, "Robin, what's wrong with you?!"
Others also looked at him with concern.
However, Zoro put his hand on the hilt of Ajuramaru when he saw this, "Are you afraid of that man?"
Hear the noise here.
The man who was standing on the side of the boulder and taking an afternoon nap in the sun also raised his right hand and slowly pushed the blindfold on his face to his forehead, revealing a determined face.
When he saw them, he quickly waved his hands and said, "Ah, guys, don't be so murderous, I haven't received any mission from any organization.
I came here just to take a walk while the weather was nice.”
But Zoro still asked cautiously, "Who are you?"
But this time, without waiting for the other party to respond, Robin, who was slumped on the ground, had already spoken for everyone.
"He is a navy officer, and he is the admiral of the Navy Headquarters, known as the strongest force of the World Government, Aokiji!"
"Just him?"
Luffy still found it hard to believe what he said.
But Aokiji didn't seem to care. "Ah, la la, you have grown into a beautiful lady, Nico Robin."
After saying this, he looked at the nervous Zoro and others, and immediately lay down on the grass, speaking lazily.
“You don’t have to be so nervous. I’ll be frank with you. I’m not here to arrest you, so you can rest assured.
But after the Alabasta incident, Nico Robin disappeared. I came here just to confirm, and it seems that she is with you.
But in this case, your total bounty will increase by another 7900 million."
But this lazy look also made Usopp couldn't help but complain, "Can such a lazy person really be a navy admiral?"
In response, Aokiji still replied indifferently, "How can you judge a person by his appearance? Besides, my duty as a navy officer is to implement lazy justice."
Say it.
He tilted his head slightly.
Dozens of pale and thin figures walked out of the forest one after another, and the middle-aged man leading them spoke excitedly.
"Are you a marine? That's great. We can finally be saved..."
Luffy was a little surprised to see these people.
“Isn’t this an uninhabited island?”
After hearing this, Aokiji continued to lie on the ground calmly and made guesses.
"That's right, but according to intelligence, a ship encountered a shipwreck nearby a month ago. They should all be survivors."
"I see."
Luffy looked at these skinny survivors thoughtfully, then turned around and said quickly, "Chopper, please go and treat them."
"Just leave it to me."
Chopper didn't waste any time and just walked up and started checking.
