Chapter 285 Aokiji Arrives (Ch 285)

A few days later, Twilight City welcomed a guest who was unexpected but reasonable to Alan.
Looking at the man in sunglasses sitting lazily on the sofa, a trace of helplessness flashed across Allen’s face.
“So, are you here to be my accomplice?”
“Alalalalal, don’t say that. I just want to experience retirement life in advance. Fighting and killing doesn’t suit my personality.”
The man in front of him who was leisurely drinking warm tea was none other than Aokiji, the former navy master who lost the competition with Akainu. Unexpectedly, Blackbeard failed to make a name for himself, but this guy came to his own Twilight Castle instead.
“Then how do you think I should arrange you?”
“Oh? You really plan to accept me? I thought you would chase me away. You are worthy of being the Lord of Destruction.”
“I know your character well. Maybe you have your own purpose, but Twilight City now has a population of nearly 5 million. I don’t believe you would do anything to hurt them.”
Aokiji’s hand holding the teacup stopped in mid-air, and he glanced at him dimly. After a while, he seemed to be deflated and said:
“You are really a guy that is impossible to get hold of, right?”
“Indeed, the heart in me that seeks justice for myself has not died, but Sakaski’s ideas are not in line with mine, you should understand.”
“So, I’m still in a period of confusion and want to stay here with you for a while.”
Alan nodded in understanding. It was more difficult for him to accept than killing himself to let the good old Kuzan obey Sakaski, who could sacrifice civilians and his men at will.
“It’s up to you. If you want to stay, then stay. Go find out where you are needed and help out there.”
“I won’t make any specific arrangements for you. I’m sure you won’t be happy about it.”
“Just consider it as a token of my gratitude for your mercy many years ago!”
Kuzan’s lazy face showed gratitude for a moment, and then returned to his normal appearance.
“Ala la la, I’m so grateful. Thank you Mr. Allen for taking me in.”
Alan waved his hand to signal you to stop coming, and then waved towards the door.
“Come in, why can’t you stop eavesdropping? I’m not hiding anything from you.”
“Crack.”
As the office door opened, Robin stuck out his tongue playfully at his father, then looked at Kuzan sitting on the sofa with a joking expression.
“Mr. Aokiji, are you here to arrest me and my father?”
There was a hint of helplessness in Kuzan’s eyes, and he realized that Robin was teasing him.
“You don’t have to call me Aokiji anymore. I’m no longer a marine. As your colleague, please take care of me, Miss Robin.”
“I don’t have any lazy colleagues, Dad. I don’t think it’s a good idea to take in Mr. Kuzan. You know, he’s the one who can be so lazy in the army that his superiors are upset.”
Alan almost couldn’t hold back his laughter. His own daughter had absolutely no idea how to hit someone without hitting them in the face.
Look, these few words made Kuzan very embarrassed. As a former navy master, his laziness was even heard by the pirates. It shows how incompetent he was in the beginning.
“Alalalalal, Ms. Robin, there shouldn’t be a strict work system in Twilight City, right? How can you be lazy?”
“See, Dad, he never even planned to go to work.”
Seeing that Robin seemed to have no intention of letting Kuzan go, Allen felt amused and had no idea how this guy had offended her.
“Okay Robin, at least I’ve let you go this time. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have a chance to be reunited as father and daughter.”
“Humph, of course I know that. Who made our Admiral snipe at a little girl like me when I first went out to sea?”
“Forehead……”
Hearing this, Kuzan felt even more embarrassed when the past was brought up, and thought that offending a woman was not a good thing.
“It was because of my status at that time. Please don’t mind it, Miss Robin.”
“Oh, I sound petty, Mr. Kuzan, don’t you think so?”
“No, no.”
Kuzan quickly shook his head to deny it. He hadn’t done anything yet and he almost made him lose face. If he really admitted it, how could he live a good life?
“Oh? Really? What should I do if I suddenly want to eat some fruit shaved ice?”
“call.”
Kuzan exhaled a breath of cold air, picked up the teacup beside him and activated his fruit ability. A few seconds later, a cup of crushed ice appeared on the table. The unlucky guy then picked up the cherries from the fruit plate on the table and placed them on the crushed ice.
“Please enjoy the cherry shaved ice.”
“Then please give me your guidance in the future, Mr. Kuzan.”
Finally being let go, Kuzan breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time he looked at Robin with some confusion.
“Ms. Robin, from what I understand, you should have joined the Straw Hat Pirates, right? Why did you return to Twilight City?”
Robin raised his eyebrows slightly. It seemed that this guy was really staring at him.
“Then you’ll have to ask your former colleagues.”
“Hmm? Who are you talking about?”
“That’s the wretched man in sunglasses who calls people scary and supernovas.”
Hearing this, Kuzan calmly took off his sunglasses and put them in his pocket.
“You mean Borsalino? He did go to the Sabaody Archipelago. Does it have anything to do with this?”
“That’s right. Because we shot a Celestial Dragon away, my companions and I were sniped by this guy. We finally managed to escape, but then Bartholomew Bear showed up and slapped Mr. Swordsman and the others away. It took a lot of effort to find their whereabouts.”
Aokiji nodded in understanding and instantly understood the whole story.
“Is that so? That’s not surprising. Kizaru is the head of the Navy’s scientific forces, and Kuma is now under his jurisdiction.”
“But haven’t you already found your companions? Are you not going to continue the journey?”
Hearing this, Robin sneered.
“I was hit by your colleague Yuan, and I plan to practice Armament Haki for a while before going out to sea.”
“Really? He’s a lazy expert who can rival Mr. Kuzan, but he works so hard when he meets us.”
A trace of cold sweat broke out on Kuzan’s forehead. How did the topic finally come back to being lazy? Feeling guilty, he immediately changed the subject.
“I see, the natural devil fruit is indeed the nemesis of newcomers. It would be good to practice for a while.”
“A short separation is for a better reunion. I’m going to get familiar with Twilight City first.”
“Mr. Allen, Miss Robin, I’ll take my leave now.”
Looking at Kuzan who disappeared into the office as if escaping, the father and daughter smiled at each other.
Kuzan came to the street and exhaled heavily. He secretly decided that he would never mess with women no matter what in the future. After he calmed himself down, he began to wander around Twilight City, wanting to see where in the Twilight Sea life was more suitable for him.
This tour lasted for several days. While I secretly admired the beauty of the sunset, I also met like-minded friends on the beach of New Fishman Island.
“Mr. Yixiao, as the God of Gamblers, shouldn’t you be wandering around the casinos? Why do you have the time to come here to fish?”
“Mr. Kuzan, you are too kind. I am indeed a good gambler. But because of this, the gamblers now treat me like a wolf seeing a sheep. Now I have no choice but to come to the beach to kill time.”
