The Old Guard Reunited

At that moment, on the other end of the Den Den Mushi, Silver Axe looked like a wild boar that had blundered into a minefield!

"Ochoku, you'd better not be joking!"

"Vice Captain Rono died in the Battle of God Valley 36 years ago!"

"Did you call just to mess with me, you bastard?"

Silver Axe sounded angry!

He had seen Rono besieged by twenty Admiral Level fighters and killed in that enormous explosion!

Even those twenty-plus Admiral Level fighters had been caught in the blast and utterly annihilated!

The blast had been powerful enough to destroy an entire stretch of sea.

No one could have survived!

Not even Vice Captain Rono!

"Heh! Silver Axe, you idiot!"

"Use that pig brain of yours!"

"Just turn on the Marineford broadcast and see for yourself whether I'm telling the truth!"

Ochoku snorted. He wanted to slap Silver Axe.

All Silver Axe had to do was turn on the broadcast, yet he was still arguing.

That had always annoyed Ochoku about him back in the Rocks Pirates!

Silver Axe finally came to his senses!

He immediately ordered his men to turn on the Public Execution broadcast!

The next moment, Silver Axe saw that familiar figure!

Rono's appearance had not changed at all, as if time had stood still for him!

He still looked seventeen or eighteen!

"Vice Captain Rono... he really is alive! He's back!"

Silver Axe cried out in delight, startling the crewmen around him!

"What's gotten into Captain Silver Axe?"

"Why's he so excited? Did he see something unbelievable?"

The crewmen around him were baffled.

"Well, Silver Axe? Believe me now?"

Ochoku's voice came through his Den Den Mushi again.

"I never thought I'd see Vice Captain Rono again!"

Silver Axe was so excited he could barely get the words out.
