East Blue, Loguetown, Central Square.
The white smoke was like a cage, blocking all escape routes around it.
Hundreds of navy soldiers were holding guns, pointing their black muzzles at the silver-haired man standing by the fountain.
The atmosphere was tense and on the verge of breaking out.
However, in this suffocating confrontation, an extremely discordant voice sounded.
"That... Colonel Smoker?"
Tashigi hugged the famous sword Rain Shower, ran all the way and hid behind Smoker's broad back.
She adjusted her glasses that almost slipped off again and looked at the elegant swordsman in front of her, her face full of confusion and disbelief.
"Could it be... that there was a mistake?"
Tashigi pulled the corner of Smoker's clothes and whispered:
"This gentleman was just discussing with me the maintenance skills of famous swords! Moreover, he generously bought the cursed Kitetsu, and even helped me deal with the sneak attack One Piece..."
"The way you look at him is so clear! Although he is a bit cold, he doesn't look like a bad person, does he?"
"The big Devil on the wanted poster was the pervert who killed Celestial Dragons! How could he be so polite?"
"Are they... twins who look alike?"
Tashigi The more I talk about it, the more it makes sense.
After all, whose eldest One Piece emperor would go shopping with the navy commander and help her pick up glasses when she has nothing to do? This is unscientific!
Upon hearing this, Smoker had veins popping out on his forehead, and the two cigars in his mouth were almost bitten off.
"Shut up!! Tashigi!!"
Smoker turned around suddenly, his ferocious face was full of anger, and spittle spurted out:
"You're a marine! You're not here for a blind date!"
"Open your eyes and see clearly! Those red eyes! That look that treats people like trash!"
"This is Tobirama Uchiha himself! It's guaranteed to be genuine!"
"You stupid woman! If you dare to speak for One Piece again, I will remove you from your position now!!"
Being yelled at by his boss, Tashigi was so frightened that he shrank his neck, tears welled up in his eyes, and he closed his mouth in grievance.
"Ugh... you know, why are you so fierce..."
Although she didn't say it, she still felt in her heart that the handsome silver-haired guy in front of her was not worthy of the legendary Devil.
"Heh..."
A chuckle broke the quarrel on the navy side.
Tobirama stood there, playing with the handle of Third Generation Kitetsu's knife.
The purple-red blade reflected his playful eyes.
"What a good show."
"Smoker, your subordinates are much cuter than you."
Tobirama raised his eyelids and glanced at the surrounding group of navy soldiers who were so nervous that their hands were shaking, and finally landed on the strong man with smoke all over his body.
"However, just because of you bunch of rotten fish and shrimps..."
"Who gave you the courage? Liang Jingru?"
Faced with Tobirama's ridicule, Smoker was not furious.
On the contrary, his expression became more solemn than ever.
As a Logia ability user, his intuition told him that the man in front of him was extremely dangerous! The feeling of oppression was even more terrifying than when he faced Roger's execution!
"Whether you can be trapped or not is not just a matter of words."
Smoker exhaled a puff of smoke, and his body gradually transformed into elements, becoming half entity and half smoke.
The Sea-Prism Stone Jitte in the hand exudes an icy cold light.
"Tobirama Uchiha."
"No matter how strong you are, no matter if I can catch you or not."
"Since you appeared in Loguetown, since you are in my jurisdiction..."
"As a navy, I have the obligation to bring you to justice on the spot! Protect the civilians here!"
"This is the bottom line of justice! Even if it means death, I will not take a step back!"
Smoker's voice is sonorous and powerful.
These words made the originally frightened soldiers around him instantly become excited, and their hands holding the guns became a little more steady.
"The Colonel is right!"
"For justice! Fight with him!"
"Oh?"
Tobirama raised his eyebrows, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"You know you are going to die, but you still want to die?"
"Is this what is called... the backbone of the navy?"
"What a pity."
Tobirama shook his head, and the six Tomoes in the pair of Rinnegan rotated violently.
"Courage is commendable, but in the face of absolute power..."
"This kind of persistence is so stupid that it makes people laugh."
"Since you don't want to retreat, then... kneel down."
Boom!!!
There was no warning.
A wave of Haoshoku Haki that was extremely domineering, as if it came from an ancient god, instantly swept away in all directions with Tobirama as the center.
Buzz!
The air was evacuated at this moment.
Plop! Plop! Plop!
Those hundreds of naval soldiers, whose blood was boiling just now, didn't even scream.
Their eyes instantly turned white, they were foaming at the mouth, and they fell neatly on the square like wheat that had been cut down!
One second.
The whole place was cleared.
Only two people were left standing.
No, to be precise, one person is standing and the other is kneeling.
"Uh-huh..."
Smoker let out a painful groan.
His elemental smoke body was forced back into reality under the suppression of this domineering force!
It feels like there is a mountain of tens of millions of tons pressing on your shoulders!
Click!
His knees hit the stone floor hard, creating two deep craters.
He held on to the ten-hand fist with both hands, barely keeping himself from falling down.
"Move... can't move?!"
"This is...Conqueror's Haki?!"
Smoker was sweating profusely and discovered to his horror that not only his body, but also Smoke-Smoke Fruit's abilities within his body were completely blocked!
Tashigi, who was standing behind him, was still standing barely because Smoker had blocked most of the coercion, and Tobirama did not deliberately target her.
It's just that my legs are shaking violently.
"Everyone... why did they all fall down?"
Tashigi looked at his colleagues on the ground with a blank look on his face.
"What's going on? Are you poisoned?"
"Quick... run!!"
Smoker raised his head with difficulty and roared at Tashigi:
"That's Haoshoku Haki! This monster's domineering energy can block abilities!"
"Leave me alone! Go and ask for help from the headquarters! Let Marshal Sengoku send a general over!!"
Smoker knows that he is finished.
But he can't let Tashigi die here too!
"General... general?"
Tashigi finally reacted.
She looked at the silver-haired man who was still calm and calm, and didn't even move a step.
Fear finally drowned her cuteness like a tide.
"Run! Must run!"
Tashigi turned around and wanted to rush into the alley.
"Run?"
Tobirama looked at the panicked figure from behind, with a hint of joking at the corner of his mouth.
"My tour guide has not finished his work yet."
"Who allowed you to leave work?"
Tobirama raised his hand and gently shook Tashigi's back.
Spatial Rule Confinement!
Buzz!
Tashigi felt that the surrounding air instantly turned into solidified cement.
She kept running, with one foot still raised in the air, but she couldn't fall down!
The whole figure seems to be frozen in the painting!
"Move... I can't move!"
"Let me go!!"
Tashigi shouted in horror, tears streaming down his face.
Tobirama ignored her cry.
He walked step by step to Smoker who was kneeling on the ground.
The Third Generation Kitetsu in his hand was slowly unsheathed, and the purple-red blade was pressed against Smoker's throat.
The cold touch made all the hairs on Smoker's body stand up.
"Logia Smoke-Smoke Fruit."
Tobirama looked at Smoker, his tone seemed to be evaluating a piece of goods.
"Although the attack power is a joke, the ability to turn the body into smoke is barely usable."
"Since you want to be a hero so much."
Tobirama exerted slight force on his wrist, and the sharp blade cut Smoker's skin, and blood flowed down his neck.
"Then I will help you."
"Die here and become a martyr of the navy."
"No!!!"
Tashigi, who was frozen in mid-air, completely collapsed when he saw this scene.
That's her boss! It's Colonel Smoker who takes care of her like a brother!
If it weren't for protecting her, Smoker would never have lost so miserably!
"No! Please! Don't kill him!!"
Tashigi cried so hard that she struggled desperately, but to no avail.
"Let Colonel Smoker go! He is a good man! Please!"
"Navy soldiers are innocent! Please show mercy!"
"Shut up! Tashigi!!"
Smoker Even if a knife is placed on his neck, he is still strong.
"Don't beg him! Begging for mercy is not in the Navy's dictionary!"
"Kill if you want! If I frown, I'm not a man!"
"It's not a loss for me to die in the hands of the strongest One Piece!!"
"But I don't want you to die!!" Tashigi cried.
Look at this touching display of camaraderie.
Tobirama smiled.
Smiling like a villain boss.
"It's so touching."
The knife in Tobirama's hand did not fall, but stopped in front of Smoker's aorta.
He turned around and looked at Tashigi, who was suspended in mid-air with tears on his face.
"Since you want to save him so much..."
"I am a kind emperor and can give you a chance."
Tobirama walked up to Tashigi, stretched out his hand, and gently raised her chin.
The eyes look exactly the same as those of Kuina when he was a child, but they are a little more soft and cute.
"The navy in this entire square, including the life of this Smoker."
"I don't have to do it."
"But..."
Tobirama's voice was low, with irresistible magic, ringing in Tashigi's ears:
"In exchange."
"You have to come with me."
"I will never wear this navy uniform again in my life."
"How about this deal..."
"Are you going to do it or not?"
