Chapter 379
It’s another calm day, the scorching sun there, the sky is clear, and Merry is still sailing on the Grand Line.
Step on!
“Land, land, there must be a lot of meat here, I want to eat meat, a lot of meat.” Luffy, the first to jump off the boat, glanced at this ordinary island with excitement on his face. The word meat is written on the face.
Turning back and moving towards the people who were disembarking, shook their hands and urged: “Hurry up, everyone, this island is very interesting.”

Hey… Leaping off the boat, Sanji looked at the moved towards Luffy who rushed into the forest, and said in a puzzled way: “This guy, how does he know this island is interesting.”
“For Luffy, every island is interesting because it has meat on it,” Usopp said on the side.
Gently stretched his waist, Lin Tian looked like he had just woken up, “It is more comfortable to step on the land. The sea is always shaking, I kept feeling something is wrong.”
Nami suggested: “Let’s find a place to rest early, and then everyone is doing their own things, preparing supplies and so on, we also have little food.”
“Yes, Nami-san.” Sanji immediately followed Luffy’s footsteps with red eyes and ran towards the forest with a look of excitement.
For Sanji’s dedication, Nami glanced lightly, hugged Lin Tian’s arm, and followed everyone’s footsteps toward the forest.
Usopp turned towards moved towards and asked: “Chopper, on this island, have you found the medicine ingredients you need?”
Chopper smiled and replied: “I found it, but there may be fewer medicine ingredients on the island.”
“By the way, I noticed earlier, what is this underground ditch?” Looking at the clear ditch below, Chopper’s eyes were full of puzzlement.
Usopp casually said: “It seems like a trace of a bicycle.”
Not far, everyone suddenly came to a very s.p.a.cious place, in a plain in the forest, very suitable for temporary camps.
Behind a large rock, Chopper suddenly fell to the ground, and pointed to his horn and shouted with excitement: “I am a reindeer. Look, this is the horn!”
Luffy rushed over, worriedly shouting: “It’s okay, Chopper, hey…who is this guy.”
A man wearing a white suit vest and dark blue shirt with a shirt in his hand and a blindfold on his forehead stood behind the stone and looked at the saliva left on the corner of his mouth, apparently still sleeping before.
The rest of the people who rushed over couldn’t help but froze when they saw this tall man, only Robin and Lin Tian showed deep surprise on their faces.
Robin’s footsteps trembled even more, and she almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Lin Tian was behind her in time, extended the hand to support her to not fall down, but the sound she made also shocked everyone.

“Yo yo…” The tall man made a surprised voice, “I didn’t expect it to be here. It’s really rare to meet an old friend.”
“Old friend?” Everyone looked at each other, looking confused, who is his old friend and who is this guy talking to.
Hold on to Robin, Lin Tian’s face also flashed surprise, “I didn’t expect to see you here, Aokiji. You’re still as lazy as before, you can even sleep in this place…”
Lin Tian was really surprised to see Kuzan/Aokiji here, and at the same time he was secretly vigilant in his heart. Observation Haki quietly opened, with the power of Goro Goro no Mi, immediately the entire island clearly appeared in his mind.
Kuzan/Aokiji suddenly appeared here, Lin Tian couldn’t believe that all this was a coincidence, this guy is usually lazy, but some things are clearer than anyone else, there must be a purpose for appearing here.
Sure enough, as Lin Tian expected, there are dozens of silhouettes hidden on this side, right in the woods on the side. It seems that the news from Jonathan is not wrong. Marine Headquarters probably will soon act on them.
And Kuzan/Aokiji is likely to be the vanguard. If you want to deal with yourself, Marine Headquarter is the most suitable. Usually Marine Vice Admiral is not your opponent at all.
“Aokiji, is this guy’s name?” Zoro put his hand on the sword at his waist, and his whole body was vigilant. How could Lin Tian’s complexion change like this, this guy is not simple.
Usopp was puzzled and curious, “Hey, wait, Lin Tian, he said it’s your friend, then who is he?”
“Yes, Lin Tian, who is this guy, why do you feel something’s wrong…?” the observant Nami was also confused in her heart.
Robin fell in Lin Tian’s arms, staring at the tall man in front of him with a nervous expression, “He is Marine Headquarters Admiral Aokiji.”
“Admiral?!”
Hearing this, Sanji was also nervous for an instant, “Admiral, how capable is this guy?”
“There are only three Admirals in Marine, Akainu, Aokiji, and Kizaru. Only Marine Fleet Admiral Sengoku is above them. This man is one of the three men known as the highest battle strength in the World Government.”
Usopp hid behind Zoro and shouted in horror: “How come this kind of guy appears here?! Go find those Great Pirates that bounty hundreds of millions of dollars to play, anyway…anyway, let me disappear.”
Kuzan/Aokiji said helplessly: “You guys are too much. I haven’t said anything. I just come for a walk, don’t be so excited, besides, you guys are that…that….”
While talking, this guy, Kuzan/Aokiji, forgot what he wanted, so he lay on the ground.
Seeing this, everyone immediately feels that the world view has collapsed. Is this really the Marine Admiral? They even forgot what they had to say. This kind of person is actually the Marine Admiral… Everyone with the unbelievable face.
“Hey! Aokiji.” Lin Tian said aloud: “Why is Marine Headquarters has prepared a careful plan to attack me? You are the vanguard, right?”
The words that came out suddenly made everyone nervous. Everyone knew about Lin Tian. It was indeed normal to send a Marine Admiral to deal with them.
Kuzan/Aokiji lying on the ground, lazily said, “Hey, Lin Tian brat, I just said that I’m just here for a walk. I haven’t received the order from Fleet Admiral Sengoku, so you know, I won’t do it.”
Lin Tian raised his middle finger in disdain, and pointed it directly on the ground. Since this guy said so, it seems that Sengoku is really not ready to use himself now, and he doesn’t need to be nervous.
But things are definitely not like what he said, come for a walk, “Well, Aokiji, in that case, why are you here?”
If there is nothing to do with Kuzan/Aokiji, it is absolutely impossible for him to come here. For him, it makes sense even more if he just sleeps in an actual bed.
“It’s really a headache for someone who knows you so well is an enemy.” He held his head, Kuzan/Aokiji whispered with a sad face. “To be honest, I am here to confirm whether Nico Robin, who disappeared in the Arabasta incident, is with you, and at the same time I am here to see you Lin Tian and pirates band.”
He rested his chin and thought for a while, this fellow Kuzan/Aokiji, came here to understand these things, but to know what they are for.
While Lin Tian was thinking, Kuzan/Aokiji raised his finger and slowly clicked, “However, I still have to write a report, 1 billion Berry…100 million Berry…60 million…15 million Berry… plus the 79 million. Well…that is 1 billion and 264 million Berry in total. Pirates of this specification are enough to make headquarter headaches. It seems that this report is a bit difficult to write.”
“Rubber rubber-” The angry Luffy was about to do it, but was hugged tightly by Sanji and Usopp and quickly persuaded.
Holding Robin’s nervous hand, she gave him a relieved look, staring at Kuzan/Aokiji lying on the ground.
Lin Tian said solemnly: “So, your purpose is Robin, or your personal wishes, or the wishes of Marine Headquarters, or the wishes of those people?”
“No.” Kuzan/Aokiji waved his hand, and the laziness on his face slowly disappeared, “This is entirely my personal wish, but I did not expect that the little girl who I let go of back then would become so dangerous one day.”
Hearing that, no matter the noisy Luffy, or Usopp and Sanji who would persuade, everyone fell silent, and from the conversation just now, their eyes slowly turned to Robin.
Everyone seems to have noticed an unusual secret, a secret belonging to Robin, a secret heavy enough to make both Lin Tian and Marine Headquarters heavy. Robin is carrying something that everyone does not understand.
“If this is the case,” Lin Tian suddenly lifted his head, “It is inevitable that we will confront each other. Robin is with me. If you want to deal with her, you have to go over my dead body.”
Hearing Lin Tian’s uncompromising words, everyone couldn’t help being silent in their hearts. As for the relationship between Lin Tian and Robin, everyone knew everything well and was not at all surprised. It’s just not good to interrupt and so on.
“No, Robin is our partner. In any case, we will not hand over our partner.” Luffy held the Straw Hat on his head with a serious and determined expression.
Even the timid Chopper, without the slightest hesitation, said: “Robin is our partner, and we are the ones who protect her.”
“Yes.” the word trifling speaks of the firmness in everyone’s hearts. In any case, they will not abandon the firmness of their partner.
Kuzan/Aokiji looked helpless, “Ahhhh, I said don’t be so excited, I’m just here for a walk, don’t you understand?”
Having said it so many times, these guys didn’t even listen at all, did he express himslef incompletely, or did they not listen at all?
However, if this is the case, it will be very headache. The relationship between Lin Tian and Robin has reached that point. This is not expected by Kuzan/Aokiji. If this happens, I am afraid to do anything to Nico Robin, everything must pa.s.s through Lin Tian.
Now it seems that some things are getting more and more complicated. How to explain it to Fleet Admiral Sengoku?
Slantingly glanced at the woods behind him, Lin Tian tightened his eyes and asked: “Aokiji, you said that you are here for a walk. If that’s true, you’re alone?”
“En?” I heard that Kuzan/Aokiji seemed to have guessed something, and the laziness on his face was gradually replaced by vigilance, “I really came here on a bicycle alone.”
“Then who is hiding in the woods?”
As soon as these words were said, the atmosphere in the air immediately became tense, and everyone quickly turned their heads and scanned the surrounding woods.
