Please Show Some Respect

It was as if I had witnessed something utterly unbelievable.

Seeing the small boat slowly approaching from not far away, Nico Olvia couldn't help but widen her eyes slightly.

That's really a strange thing.

Keep in mind that this is a deserted island.

Even among the many deserted islands in the world, its location can only be described as utterly desolate...

No, perhaps even saying it's a desolate place is an understatement.

There's nothing we can do about it.

After all, back then, in order to completely conceal the secret of Ohara, that man had carefully selected a place before finally choosing it.

Although it's quite remote, it's the perfect place to live in anonymity.

So desolate that even pirates don't bother to visit it...

That is precisely why they have been able to live a quiet life until now.

"... No, I have to go back and tell everyone."

Looking at the small boat approaching in the distance, a hint of worry flashed in Nico Olvia's eyes, but she quickly made a decision.

For some reason, she suddenly felt uneasy.

This is something Nico Olvia doesn't know.

This unease... is somewhat different from the unease that arose when Ohara was destroyed.

However, the woman herself was unaware of it.

Nico Olvia was also very decisive. After making up her mind, she rushed back and pushed open the door of a room.

"Uh, Olvia? What's this?"

The old man who was doing his research in the room looked up in surprise at Nico Olvia. He had never seen her so flustered since he came to live here.

This old man.

It was Dr. Clover.

It has to be said that he is a very lucky person. Not only did he survive the deadly situation in Ohara back then, but he has also lived to this day.

I've lived a fulfilling life.

"Doctor! A ship is coming, I'm worried..."

Dr. Clover looked at her with a smile, but Nico Olvia wasn't joking and immediately said something in a hurry.

Upon hearing this, Dr. Clover couldn't help but frown instantly.

"The ship? Olvia, calm down. It shouldn't be what we think. Never mind... don't notify anyone else yet. I'll go check it out with you."

Dr. Clover spoke decisively.

If Nico Olvia's concerns are true, then there's no way to avoid it.

If it's not true.

Notifying everyone would be completely pointless except to cause panic.

In light of this, Dr. Clover immediately made a decision, and with a serious expression, took Nico Olvia and headed towards the beach.

The two had just arrived when Lin Yan and Aokiji also docked and disembarked from the boat.

"..."

Four pairs of eyes met.

Nico Olvia and Dr. Clover turned deathly pale in an instant.

"Admiral Aokiji... the Emperor of the Sea?!"

Nico Olvia couldn't help but tremble as she spoke.

Even though they now live on this deserted island, it doesn't mean they are completely unaware of what's happening outside.

At least the famous Aokiji.

And Lin Yan, who has gained notoriety during this period, is someone the two know!

Arrest warrants have been flying everywhere for ages!

"Gentlemen, what are you doing here? This is just a worthless deserted island."

Dr. Clover said in a somber tone.

He tried to persuade the two to leave with words.

After all, on the surface, they were just a poor village with nothing worth plundering.

But as he said this, Dr. Clover's heart sank.

He probably knew it.

A person of such importance wouldn't act randomly without a reason. Their arrival here now is probably...

Is it ultimately unavoidable?

Dr. Clover felt a chill run through him.

Nico Olvia's eyes were filled with despair.

Looking at the two people in front of her, Lin Yan chuckled and mischievously poked Aokiji beside her.

"You scared them. Looks like the former Marine Admiral's reputation hasn't waned at all!"

"..."

Aokiji didn't say anything, but just silently rolled his eyes.

Who's scarier, you or me?

You have absolutely no idea, do you?

However, despite this, Aokiji did not immediately refute his captain. Instead, he looked at the two people in front of him and narrowed his eyes slightly.

Even though he has now joined the Whitebeard Pirates, he was once a Marine.

Judging from their expressions, they're clearly hiding something.

Otherwise, why would an ordinary person react this way upon seeing the navy?

Oh, I'm a pirate now.

That's alright then.

"Ahem, alright, alright, you two. In short, we're not here to cause trouble, we're here to find someone."

Seeing the atmosphere become somewhat silent, and noticing that Nico Olvia and Dr. Clover's faces were growing paler, Lin Yan quickly clapped her hands, worried that she might frighten the elderly couple.

Looking for someone?

Dr. Clover asked with some doubt.

"Yes, find her."

Lin Yan smiled and nodded, then, under the somewhat astonished gazes of the others, suddenly pointed at Nico Olvia.

"... I?"

When Lin Yan pointed at her, Nico Olvia herself was completely dumbfounded and pointed at herself in disbelief.

"That's right."

Lin Yan smiled and nodded, then suddenly tapped the corner of her mouth with a mischievous grin.

"Woman, I've taken a liking to you. Come with me!"

Aokiji:...

Dr. Clover:...

Nico Olvia:?!

What a traitorous Cao Cao!

No one expected their captain to do something so outrageous. Even Aokiji was stunned, silently conjuring frost in his hands.

Dr. Clover and Nico Olvia's faces darkened.

Although you are the fifth emperor of the sea and very powerful, you shouldn't be bullying people like this!

"Sir, please leave. The person you are looking for is not here."

Dr. Clover said with a dark expression.

Nico Olvia glared fiercely at Lin Yan.

"Please have some self-respect!"

"..."

Uh, did this go too far?

Seeing the two of them so furious, Lin Yan gave a heartless laugh, showing absolutely no remorse.

Then, under Nico Olvia's furious gaze, she suddenly reached out and threw something.

"Don't be so quick to refuse! Take a look at this."
