After a long period of artillery battle like children playing, the navy warship finally approached the Spade Pirates' ship, and then several grappling hooks flew over from the warship, obviously preparing for a boarding battle.
The Spade Pirates did not try to stop them, and although they all picked up their weapons, they did not seem to be too concerned and everyone was still laughing.
"Fire Fist Ace, surrender!" A heroic female navy jumped up, holding a sword in her hand and looking serious.
Ayaan's observation Haki swept over the female officer and came to a conclusion: weakling!
Speaking of this beautiful lady, you don't have Armament Haki, and you don't have any seastone weapons. How dare you let a natural devil fruit user surrender? Just with the seastone handcuffs on your waist?
Ace scratched his head. "Sorry, I can't let you catch me before I pass that guy!"
"Hmph! Stop making excuses here! This time I will definitely send you to the Impel Down Prison!" The beautiful female officer shouted and rushed over.
She went up, she made her move, and she... failed.
Well, with such limited strength, you dare to come and pester me, sister, you are really brave.
Fortunately, Ace is not the kind of pirate who does all kinds of evil, otherwise, we would probably be discussing what to name your child or where to scatter your ashes.
There followed a verbal spat between the two, and in the end Ace did not do anything to the female navy officer named Iska, and simply put her back on the battleship.
As for Ayaan, he didn't make a move at all - didn't the other members of the pirate group make a move? Obviously, there are a lot of stories here, and most of them are stories with some ambiguity.
However, when the female marine was thrown back, she said to Ace fiercely: "Don't be complacent, Fire Fist Ace! The next time someone comes to find the Spade Pirates, it will be a real vice admiral of the navy!"
Hearing this, it was unknown what expression appeared on Ayaan's face. Beautiful lady, are you here to catch pirates or to give information to pirates?
However, looking at the wonderful atmosphere between Iska and Ace, and her complicated eyes, Ayaan still did not say out his complaints.
Forget it, forget it. It's become a common practice in the navy to let pirates go. What can a pirate like me say?
However, it is the vice admiral of the navy who is about to go after the Spade Pirates, so it is expected to be a tough battle.
At the level of vice admiral, there is no so-called gap between headquarters and branch. A vice admiral of a branch is the commander of a base and his strength is no less than that of a vice admiral of the headquarters.
In other words, apart from the distinction between the naval branch and the naval headquarters in the Four Seas, in the Grand Line, all naval forces, whether in the headquarters or the branch, are elite, and the highest rank of the naval branch in the Four Seas is only a colonel, and only the branches in the Grand Line have generals. So at the general level, there is basically no weak one.
Moreover, the admirals of the navy are proficient in dual-color Haki, which can almost be said to be standard. Although Haki is not an absolute factor in strength, for a natural type like Ace, whether or not he has Armament Haki is definitely a different opponent.
"It seems that I will have to face a tough battle after joining the Spade Pirates." Ayaan sighed. He was not afraid that Ace would fail. Before meeting Whitebeard, Ace was definitely a man of the child of destiny. A mere vice admiral of the navy was definitely not his opponent.
But the other members of the Spade Pirates will probably be beaten. The strength of these people is actually not too bad. Compared with the ordinary supernova pirates, they can perhaps be considered average.
But compared to the elite officers brought by the vice admiral, they are far inferior.
By then, the one who will take the lead will probably be Ayaan, the second main fighter of the Spade Pirates.
...…
"Is this the Jungle Island? It feels a bit like a Mayan city."
Ayaan looked at the island they were about to arrive at and murmured that the route taken by the Spade Pirates was different from that of the Straw Hat Pirates, so the way they arrived at the island was also different.
This is a very obvious summer island in the Grand Line, with a lot of tropical rainforests and pyramid-like buildings, which looks quite unique.
"Okay, everyone, rest on this island for a few days. We'll meet at the dock in a week."
"It will be Michal who will guard the ship this time. If there is any situation, just call me directly. The others can go out and have fun." After Ace finished speaking, the crew of the Spade Pirates cheered.
Going out to sea in the world of One Piece sounds very romantic, but in reality life at sea is very dull and boring. What is really interesting is the different scenery of different islands.
Even in the original comics, the Straw Hat Pirates' journey on the sea was only briefly mentioned, and most of the content was about their stories between different islands.
It is no wonder that the crew members of the Spade Pirates, who have been stuck on the ship for nearly a month, are so excited.
As for Michal who was watching the ship, he was the ultimate otaku among otakus. Ayaan had been a member of the Spade Pirates for such a long time, but he had only seen him once on the deck, and that was when he had just joined the group and Ace introduced the crew members to him. Then he showed up.
So when he was asked to guard the ship. Instead of being angry, he was very happy.
Ayaan wanted to remind Ace that there was a vice admiral's ship chasing them, so he should disperse all the crew members. What if the vice admiral chased them? Wouldn't that give him a chance to defeat them one by one?
But then he thought about it again. Anyway, except for himself and Ace, the others were basically just pendants on their thighs. It didn't matter even if they were caught. As long as Ace defeated the vice admiral, he could naturally rescue them all.
"But we've finally reached the shore, so I can take care of my own affairs. Seven days should be enough for me to get the training methods of those ninjutsu from the black market."
Yes, Ayaan has decided to go to the black market of the ninja world to buy some ninjutsu scrolls. In addition to Barries from the One Piece world, he now has a lot of hard currency such as gold, which should be more than enough to buy some B-level ninjutsu scrolls.
Of course, the ninjutsu scrolls on the black market are only B-level at best. Even if there are A-level ninjutsu, most of them are widely circulated and not very practical.
Some secret-level ninjutsu will never circulate in the black market. Even those B-level ones are popular ninjutsu that are everywhere.
Ninjutsu such as Lightning Release Armor, Light and Heavy Rock Technique, and Weighted Rock Technique are definitely impossible to appear. At most, there will be some ninjutsu such as Water Dragon Bomb, Earth Dragon Bomb, and Water Flow Wall.
