One Piece: I, a scum of the navy, became an admiral Chapter 257

Grand Line, Skypiea, Angel Beach.

“Mr. Allen, are you really from the ‘Blue Sea’?”

“What’s the ‘Blue Sea’ like? Is it really that amazing? Please tell me more…”

A golden-haired girl, her long hair braided into two pigtails, wearing a high-necked, ultra-short dress, and with a pair of tiny wings on her back, looked like an angel.

The girl, her face full of curiosity, squatted beside a man dressed in a Hong Kong-style printed short-sleeved shirt. A white fox lay at her feet.

Her beautiful eyes sparkled with anticipation, as everything the man said was something she had never heard before.

This angelic-looking girl was Conis, a resident of Skypiea.

And the man was Allen, wearing sunglasses and leisurely lying on a beach chair.

Hearing the girl’s pure and ethereal voice, Allen slowly pushed up his sunglasses, a gentle smile on his face.

“If Conis wants to know, why not go see for yourself?”

“It’s no fun just hearing me talk; it’s not the same as seeing it with your own eyes~”

Half a month ago, after Allen had poached Sengoku’s subordinates, he brought Rosinante and Law back to Marine Headquarters.

Sengoku was shocked to learn that the “Op-Op Fruit” had been intercepted by Rosinante and even eaten by Law.

After all, the World Government had made a big fuss about it, even going so far as to invite Tsuru, all for the sake of the “Op-Op Fruit.”

He truly hadn’t expected that his adopted son, whom he had meticulously nurtured for 14 years, would do something that made him an enemy of the World Government.

Sengoku had no choice but to help Rosinante hide the secret, as he was his adopted son after all.

Upon learning that Rosinante and Law would both follow Allen, though he was very unwilling, Allen had saved them, and he owed Allen a favor.

In the end, Sengoku could only grit his teeth and agree. After all, Allen’s soldiers were also his Marine Marshal’s soldiers.

Of course, during this period, due to Allen’s transfer request, the former Impel Down Chief Guard, Shiryu of the Rain, officially became a “Marine” under Allen.

Allen simply threw this killing machine into the Grand Line, giving him the bottom line of not harming colleagues or civilians.

Then, having nothing else to do, Allen decided to go on vacation to “Skypiea,” and of course, to search for the strongest Logia-type “Rumble-Rumble Fruit.”

If the “Rumble-Rumble Fruit” had already been eaten, Allen wouldn’t mind taking the user back and training them well, as the “Rumble-Rumble Fruit,” when developed to a certain extent, guaranteed Admiral-level combat power.

However, a few days ago, Allen arrived alone in Skypiea and met an angelic-looking girl playing the harp, who was the very girl now squatting in front of Allen.

After several days of searching, Allen still hadn’t found anything resembling a Devil Fruit, nor had he found any trace of Enel, not even hearing Enel’s name mentioned.

After asking Conis, Allen learned that the current “God” of Skypiea was Gan Fall, meaning Enel had not yet arrived there.

Conis’s eyes filled with longing when she heard Allen’s words, but it quickly faded.

“But Father said the ‘Blue Sea’ is very dangerous…” Conis said somewhat dejectedly.

According to Conis’s account,

More than ten years ago, a pirate crew also came to Skypiea. They were incredibly strong, and even “God” Gan Fall was no match for them.

If they hadn’t had no other intentions, Skypiea would have ceased to exist back then.

If Allen hadn’t guessed wrong, that pirate crew should have been Roger’s crew.

But was it really appropriate to use Gan Fall, an old man who hadn’t even mastered Haki, to measure the combat power of the Pirate King’s crew?!

Allen gently placed his large hand on Conis’s head, a smile on his face.

“If you want to see the ‘Blue Sea,’ I have a little bit of strength, so your safety won’t be a problem.”

With Allen’s current status and strength, ninety-nine percent of people would probably bring trouble upon themselves.

“R-really?!” Conis’s eyes sparkled, her expression delighted and expectant.

Since birth, she had always stayed on Angel Island and had never left. She longed even more for the “Blue Sea.”

Now that she had a chance to see it with her own eyes, how could she refuse?!

“Of course, I think keeping someone safe should be quite easy.”

“But I have to wait until I find something, or someone…” Allen said casually, in a very low-key manner.

Hearing Allen’s words, Conis excitedly hugged Allen’s arm and kissed him on the cheek.

Instantly, Allen felt a fragrant scent waft over him, and his arm sank into a soft embrace, as if he were surrounded by cotton candy.

The next second,

Conis’s delicate face instantly flushed red, and she averted her gaze, not daring to look directly at Allen.

‘W-woo~ I was too excited just now and accidentally…’

Because Allen’s words made her so happy, and coupled with listening to Allen describe the customs and people of the “Blue Sea” for several days, she momentarily lost control of her emotions.

Conis felt a bit shy; they had only known each other for a few days…

Blushing, she stammered somewhat guiltily:

“⁄(⁄ ⁄•⁄ω⁄•⁄ ⁄)⁄…Um…Mr. Allen, I, I’ll tell my father this… news first…”

“I… I’ll, I’ll come back to find you later…”

As soon as her words fell, the girl covered her blushing face and scurried away…

Allen watched the comical scene unfold, then looked at his arm and chuckled softly, shaking his head.

“This little girl is quite well-developed, I didn’t expect that.”

For Allen’s current age, a girl like Conis, who was 16 or 17, was indeed just a “little girl.”

After Conis left, Allen leisurely gazed at the sea of clouds before him. He had to admit that the scenery of Skypiea was truly unique.

At an altitude of 7000 meters, due to the high elevation, the animals and vegetation of Skypiea had adapted to the environment.

Allen picked up a pumpkin-shaped coconut from the table and took a sip.

“The ‘Rumble-Rumble Fruit’ or Enel hasn’t appeared, so perhaps Enel is still in his hometown…”

Top-tier Logia-type Devil Fruits were already rare, and it was said that Devil Fruits chose their owners. Of course, if he were to obtain the “Rumble-Rumble Fruit” directly, the simplest way would be to give it to one of his trusted subordinates.

Of course, since Allen had already come to Skypiea, he naturally had to visit Shandora, the ancient city of “Golden City” that was destroyed 400 years ago.

The clock tower and other buildings in “Shandora” were all made of gold. Since Enel hadn’t yet used that gold to create the ark “Maxim,” a large amount of gold would be a considerable sum.

Since the residents of Angel Island and God’s Island “Upper Yard” didn’t need it,

Allen stated: “Then I’ll reluctantly take it for you.”
