Chapter 547 Aokiji's Invitation
The invitation letter was very long, and was filled with densely packed words.
Blah blah blah…
Lynch's eyes wandered around aimlessly, and after locking on the key words, his eyes became sharp.
"Is the person invited me?"
Lynch pointed to the name of the invitee in the document - "Giovanna Giorno".
Aokiji scratched his curly hair, "Ah la la... You should know that we invited the Seven Warlords of the Sea based on their 'strength' and 'reputation'..."
Lynch shook the documents in his hand, "So you think my captain is not as strong as me."
Aokiji said calmly: "One is 400 million, and the other is 330 million."
"You actually judge based on the bounty?" Lin Qi said, "How shallow! I despise you."
Aokiji chuckled, "You didn't mention the 'reputation' part. Look, aren't you quite self-aware?"
Lin Qi didn't comment and threw the document back. "I don't want it! You actually bypassed my captain and invited me to be a Shichibukai. You are deliberately trying to cause conflict between us. You deserve to be killed..."
He shook his head repeatedly, his face full of reluctance.
"…This is just an invitation." Aokiji pushed up his small round sunglasses. The reflection of the dancer across the street was reflected on the lens. She had been dancing for so long, sweating profusely, but she hadn't stopped yet. The dancer in Dressrosa was really hot. "Within half a month, bring this invitation to the Navy Headquarters. If you have any requests, you can directly discuss with the Marshal - including whether to let your captain be the Shichibukai instead of you."
"Oh, that's fine." A lock of Lynch's long hair stretched out to the table like life, and took the invitation document back.
“……”This scene was reflected on the lenses of Aokiji’s small round sunglasses.
Anyway, anyone with eyes can see that the real leader of the JOJO Pirates is Giovanna Giorno.
Even if the title of Seven Warlords of the Sea was given to Jolyne Kujo, anyone with common sense should know who this title should really belong to... Aokiji felt that the Marshal probably would not refuse Giorno.
In short, they are all trivial matters and Aokiji doesn't care too much about them.
Lin Qi asked casually: "Why do you have to go to Marinford every half a month?"
Aokiji was speechless and emphasized: "This is the 'Seven Warlords of the Sea'."
Lin Qi pretended to listen, but after waiting for a long time, he heard nothing. He said speechlessly, "And then?"
"This is not something that can be decided casually." Aokiji tapped the table lightly with his slender fingers wrapped in ice. "According to the procedure, invitations will be sent to the other Shichibukai. They need to be present as witnesses according to the procedure - but it won't have any impact if they don't come. The most important thing in appointing Shichibukai is the 'photo of the pirate standing at the Navy Headquarters to accept the appointment as Shichibukai'. There will also be reporters from the newspapers at that time..."
Blah blah blah... Lynch didn't really listen to what he said afterwards - it went in one ear and out the other anyway, and when he wanted to review it, he could just find "BIB" to replay the memory - but he was thinking about whether the other Seven Warlords of the Sea would go to the Marine Headquarters to testify in half a month. He didn't know, but if Hancock knew that it was him and Jolyne who were invited this time, she probably wouldn't be absent.
I haven't seen that girl for a long time. I'm afraid she has become even more beautiful... Lin Qi looked serious. I wonder if I can handle it? "Giorno, are you listening?"
"I'm listening." Lin Qi came back to his senses calmly, "Where were you just talking about?"
"..." Aokiji's mouth let out a hint of cold air, as if he really wanted to blow a breath of air at the guy opposite him, freezing him into an ice sculpture to cool him down. "I mean, since we will soon be considered half colleagues... then, I just happen to be going to deal with a group of pirates, are you interested in going with me?"
"The Shichibukai are colleagues?"
"Let's just take it as it is."
"No." Lin Qi refused flatly, "Why should I follow you-wait!"
He looked at Aokiji suspiciously and said, "Besides delivering the invitation to the Shichibukai, do you have other tasks? Can you do something like this along the way?"
This has to start with another lieutenant general who is even lazier than me... Aokiji felt that it was too troublesome to explain, "Anyway...ah...almost...there is such a thing. Forget it, don't worry about it..." He casually passed it off.
"Sending me an invitation is secondary. Your purpose is to get me to work for you, right?" Although Lin Qi was quite interested in the pirates who needed Aokiji to go personally, he didn't want to work for the navy for nothing. He stood up decisively and said, "Forget it. I still have to go find our captain."
With a quick glance using his Observation Haki, he found that Robin and her Stand had not moved for a long time on the coast on the other side of Dressrosa Island. They were probably hiding and observing the people who were related to history, cultural relics and the like.
Lin Qi stood up and left. Aokiji's voice came from behind him: "Is this really okay?"
Lin Qi turned around, and on his sunglasses, he saw Aokiji wearing small round sunglasses... Aokiji said calmly: "He is a very powerful pirate."
Lynch thought about it and sat back.
"How powerful is it?"
"Very powerful." Aokiji pinched two fingers together, and when he separated them, there was an icicle between them, "He is only a little bit less powerful than me..."
Lin Qi pretended to be disappointed and said, "That's not that great."
Aokiji was not easily angered by him, and said calmly: "You will know when you see it."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Lynch thought about it and asked, "Is it far?"
"Well... I can't say for sure. If it's fast, I can see him tonight. If it's slow, I might have to chase him for two or three days." Aokiji put his hands in his white suit pants pockets and stood up. Wow, he was nearly three meters tall. He was taller than Lynch back then, and he's still taller than Lynch now. "You can ask your captain to come along..."
"No, my captain is busy."
Lynch ignored him. He had nothing better to do than let Robin stay with Aokiji for too long. Her PTSD, which had been cured with great difficulty, had relapsed.
So, Aokiji saw that Giorno thought for a moment, then ran to the side of the road and grabbed a local soldier, muttering something to himself.
"…find her, and then say: 'I'm going out for a while to gain some experience from Articuno, don't worry.'" Lynch waved his hand in front of the soldier's eyes.
The latter looked dazed, blinked, and looked at the tall young man wearing sunglasses in front of him in confusion.
"Strange, why am I here? I should go to the northwest coast... Hey, why should I go to the northwest coast? Forget it, let's go and take a look..."
"Hypnosis?" Aokiji looked at the Dressrosa soldiers who were gradually walking away, pressed the front of his bicycle with one hand, walked slowly towards him, tilted his head and asked, "But - 'Articuno'?"
Lynch smiled and said, "It suits you very well, doesn't it?"
Aokiji didn't comment, "We don't have much time. Since you agreed to come together, let's go quickly."
Lin Qi looked down and said speechlessly, "That's it? You are a lieutenant general of the headquarters, and you ride a bicycle to chase pirates?"
"Didn't I tell you that we don't have much time?" Aokiji swung his long legs, straddled the bicycle, and said calmly, "It may not be enough to rely on the warships..."
You are awesome! Your bicycle is faster than a warship, right?
Lin Qi jumped up, stepped on the back seat of the bicycle, and waved his hand, "Go!"
"I didn't say I would give you a ride..."
Aokiji was speechless. How dare this boy? But it didn't matter. He stepped on the pedal and rode away towards the sea.
Kizaru wasn't just being lazy, he knew Aokiji's mission and recommended a suitable worker to him, and he was just being lazy...
