After everyone heard this, they turned their heads and looked behind.
I saw an old man with purple hair, a strong body and a muscular body connected to a huge iron arm in his right hand, and two young men and women appeared behind Straw Hat Pirates.
After a little perception, Luffy immediately recognized that this was the powerful aura that he and Can Yue felt at the auction house.
Although their identities are not yet known, from what the old man said, they should not be on our side.
But Luffy responded politely.
"Going Merry Nothing can happen, and we will not surrender."
"Especially, we cannot surrender to the navy that helped those disgusting ghosts Celestial Dragons. I cannot accept this reason!"
Zephyr naturally guessed that Straw Hat Pirates would not surrender. He appeared this time just to make some efforts for the people of Water Seven.
He looked at Luffy, took a puff of his cigar and said seriously.
"What about the residents of Water Seven? They are all innocent."
When it comes to the latter part, Zephyr himself is a bit speechless.
After all, it was the navy that ignored the lives of all the people on the island in order to defeat Straw Hat Crew, and he actually morally kidnapped pirates here? Intending to get the pirates to surrender to save ordinary people?
The more I think about it, the more ashamed I feel.
Hearing Zephyr's words, Sanji immediately became angry.
"The navy is going to attack ordinary people, why do they want us to surrender? Also, who are you, old man?"
Sanji Although his words were fierce, he was ready to fight at any time.
Both he and Zoro could clearly feel that the old man in front of them was quite powerful.
Upon hearing Sanji's aggressive question, Ain and Binz, who were standing behind Zephyr, were about to take action immediately, but were stopped by Zephyr.
Zephyr doesn't know how to respond at this moment.
From the perspective of Straw Hat Crew, apart from their identity as pirates, they did not do anything wrong.
At least since I saw Luffy and Can Yue, I haven't seen them do anything to harm ordinary people.
Pay for everything you eat at Gourmet Capital.
And he also forcibly rescued 22 slaves who were about to suffer injustice.
Except for the pirate ship and the pirate flag, it doesn't look like a pirate at all.
Straw Hat Crew's behavior in the narrow sense has to face the consequences of good deeds.
Now that I heard that I asked them to surrender, it would be strange not to be angry.
Thinking of this, Zephyr sat directly on the ground to show that he came here with no ill intentions.
"To give you a brief introduction, I am Admiral and Zephyr, former navy officers. These two are my last students, Ain and Binz."
After hearing the opponent's identity, Straw Hat Crew, except Can Yue, all entered the fighting state.
But Zephyr waved his left hand to signal them not to get excited.
Then inform yourself of your purpose.
"I apologize for my words that kidnapped your morality just now. But the main reason I came to you is to discuss whether there is any way to save this beautiful Water Seven."
His words immediately confused everyone.
What's going on? He and the Navy are not on the same team?
But no one dropped their guard against the old man in front of them.
Later, Zephyr thought about it again and again, but found that there was no way to get the best of both worlds.
The first method is to capture them now? joke! It simply cannot be done.
After seeing all members of Straw Hat Pirates in person, Zephyr roughly estimated the strength of this pirate group.
Two Admiral must be played together. Even if they do, it will be a protracted battle.
With both sides firing at full strength, Water Seven is definitely gone, and there is no need for Buster Call.
The second method is to stop the navy from doing this. joke! Still can't do it.
Not to mention that he is no longer Marine Admiral. Even if he is, he cannot violate the requirements of Celestial Dragons and Fleet Admiral.
What's more, he has already received information from Aokiji, and the person who issued the order is Five Elders.
The third method is to let Straw Hat Pirates go to the open sea to die. joke! Will people be willing?
The fourth method is to confront the navy and help Straw Hat Pirates defeat Buster Call as soon as possible. joke! This time it was his turn and he couldn't do it.
At this moment, Luffy put forward his own idea.
"First of all, I will not go to sea to fight and give up Going Merry, nor will I surrender and compromise with the navy."
"But I also want to protect this group of ordinary people from harm, so why not evacuate the ordinary people before the war starts?"
When he said this, everyone was shocked.
Can Yue had already guessed Luffy's brain circuit, and his mentality was still quite calm.
After others heard it, they understood instantly and smiled one after another.
Zephyr, Ain, and Binz have pupil tremors.
These pirates really want to protect ordinary people.
According to the brain circuit of ordinary pirates, using this group of ordinary people can first threaten the navy. Even if Buster Call doesn't care about ordinary people's life and death, they can also use the ordinary people on the island as cover to increase the possibility of defeating the navy.
As for Celestial Dragons, Qian Dingzhu and Wan asked not to allow ordinary people to be transferred in advance.
What if Straw Hat Crew discovers a problem and leaves early.
The government doesn't know that Straw Hat Crew cares so much about its own ship. As long as they abandon the pirate ship before the war, follow ordinary people's refuge ships, and then hide on an unknown island in the outer sea, it will be really hard to find.
Escape can basically be ensured smoothly, so Celestial Dragons will never allow ordinary people to transfer.
Just blame Straw Hat Crew for the destruction of Water Seven afterwards.
Celestial Dragons is so selfish. In order to vent his anger, he will not care about the life and death of ordinary people. He only wants to destroy Straw Hat Crew who dares to challenge their majesty.
But now Luffy takes the initiative to transfer ordinary people, which is really completely different in the eyes of Zephyr.
Obviously, Luffy just told him, go take all the residents away, we will wait here for the navy to arrive, and we will not leave even a step.
Thinking of this, Zephyr slowly stood up and looked at Luffy and others with a complicated expression.
"As expected of Garp's grandson. I have captured too many pirates over the past few decades, but you are the only pirate group that makes me not want to take action."
Binz behind Zephyr was heartbeating very fast at the moment. He couldn't understand why there were such pirates.
Aren't pirates all selfish, self-interested, bloodthirsty, and greedy people?
Ain also had extreme mood swings, with his chest rising and falling.
Why is this group of pirates so different? In this form, it seems that their navy is the bad guy, but this group of pirates seems to be the messenger of justice.
Ain, Binz were already a little confused because of the Navy's Buster Call, but now their minds are even more confused.
Zephyr was also a little confused, but his own belief was stronger and he soon woke up.
The former Admiral knows very well that Straw Hat Pirates is just an example among pirates.
The Navy's Buster Call behavior is also an exception. Most of the time, it is still enforcing justice and protecting ordinary people.
And most pirates are purely evil.
For example, some time ago, for the title of Shichibukai, he went to war with Doflamingo without any regard for the ordinary people around him. As a result, he almost destroyed the bastard Clown Buggy on Jaya island.
Coincidentally, at this moment, an unusually arrogant laughter came from far to near.
"Kahahaha, Can Yue, Luffy, long time no see."
Along with the sound, a huge pirate ship appeared.
The pirate flag is a skeleton clown.
Ugly Emperor, come Water Seven.
