Super Card System

It was clear that Aokiji’s questioning was in vain.

For someone as simple-minded as Edward Weevil, how could he remember attacking a Navy training ship? Zephyr always remembered him as the murderer of his students, but Edward Weevil had likely forgotten about it soon after it happened…

Moreover, he had no idea that the person who had just kicked him was a former Navy admiral. So after helping his mother Bakkin up, he angrily clenched his fists, wanting to charge forward and kill Aokiji.

Fortunately, Bakkin reacted in time and quickly stopped Edward Weevil. She shouted at Aokiji, “Aokiji, what do you think you’re doing!? You’re no longer in the Navy, you have no right to arrest my son!”

“Who are you?” Aokiji asked Bakkin, frowning.

Aokiji found it strange. He remembered that when the World Government investigated Edward Weevil through CP intelligence, they didn’t mention anything about him having an old lady by his side.

“Me?” Bakkin’s eyes glinted from behind her sunglasses, and she suddenly burst into laughter. Pointing at Edward Weevil beside her, she said, “Just look at him! Can’t you see?”

“See what?” Aokiji asked, still frowning.

“The mustache! My son is the biological child of Whitebeard, Edward Newgate!” Bakkin said, stomping her cane. “And I am the woman Whitebeard loved the most. If you dare to make a move against us, the Whitebeard Pirates won’t let you get away with it!”

Since Whitebeard was still alive, Bakkin usually remained ambiguous whenever people speculated about Edward Weevil’s relationship with Whitebeard. She neither confirmed nor denied it, leaving others to guess. But now, out of fear of Aokiji, she brazenly told this lie, hoping it would scare Aokiji and prevent him from taking action against them.

As soon as she said this lie, not only were Aokiji and Smoker stunned, but even Edward Weevil himself was taken aback.

“Re… really, Mama!?” Edward Weevil quickly asked, looking down. “Am I really Whitebeard’s son?”

Although Edward Weevil was simple-minded, he had heard of the Yonko Whitebeard. Now, suddenly hearing his mother claim he was Whitebeard’s son, he was instantly excited.

At this point, Bakkin had no choice but to stick to her story. She pulled out a photo of Whitebeard and showed it to Edward Weevil, saying, “Of course, just look at how similar you two are. How could you not be his biological son?”

“Ah, really! We look so much alike, just like looking in a mirror…” Edward Weevil was completely fooled.

Aokiji looked at Bakkin and Edward Weevil’s performance with a speechless expression, finding it utterly ridiculous. As a former admiral, he knew well from the Navy’s investigation into Whitebeard that Edward Newgate had no direct blood relatives. Whitebeard himself was an orphan, which is why he took in others who were similarly abandoned by society and made them his sons.

In Aokiji’s extensive experience in the Navy, he believed that becoming a pirate usually had underlying reasons. People born evil were rare; it was mostly the influence of their environment that shaped them. For example, another significant pirate figure, Big Mom, was abandoned by her family as a child. After becoming a Yonko, she also built her own family, but unlike Whitebeard, she did so by giving birth to her children herself, making her offspring genuinely her own…

So, Aokiji didn’t believe Bakkin’s nonsense at all. He thought if Bakkin had claimed Edward Weevil was Big Mom’s son, it might have been more believable… Both were so fat and ugly…

Not wanting to waste more words with Bakkin, Aokiji squatted down and pressed his hand against the ground. Cold air surged out, and frost quickly spread across the ground towards Bakkin. Caught off guard while talking to her son, Bakkin was directly frozen into an ice sculpture by Aokiji!

“Ah! Mama!” Edward Weevil panicked when he saw his mother turned into an ice sculpture, not knowing what to do.

Half of Aokiji’s body had already turned into ice, and the cold air radiating from him lowered the temperature of the entire street. He stood up and walked towards Edward Weevil. РÁƝ𝐨ᛒЁs

“Zephyr-sensei would be pleased to see you captured and imprisoned,” Aokiji said.

“You… you! I will kill you, tear you to pieces!” Edward Weevil clenched his fists and shouted at Aokiji in anger.

Just as it seemed a fight was about to break out between the two, numerous men in black suddenly appeared from the surrounding streets, pulling out guns and surrounding both sides.

“What’s going on?” Tashigi drew her sword, wary of these men in black.

“I don’t know, but it looks like some of them are from the World Government,” Kuina replied, standing back-to-back with Tashigi.

Among these men in black were indeed several World Government officials and CP intelligence agents. Their demeanor was markedly different from Tesoro’s guards, so upon realizing this, even Aokiji couldn’t help but frown.

Tesoro appeared, wearing a coat and sunglasses, accompanied by a World Government official wearing a black hat and bearing a scar at the corner of his eye. They walked towards Aokiji together.

“Sir Aokiji, I’m sorry to interrupt you,” Tesoro said with a smile. “That old lady may be annoying, but she wasn’t wrong about one thing: you’re no longer an Admiral. Here, you have no authority to enforce the law!”

“So what?” Aokiji frowned. “This guy is a pirate and the culprit who attacked a Navy ship. Are you going to protect them?”

“Hey! It’s not up to me to decide about protecting anyone!” Tesoro spread his hands, speaking nonchalantly. “Let sir Solomon explain it to you!”

Solomon, the government official standing beside Tesoro, stepped forward with his hands behind his back and addressed Aokiji seriously, “Sir Kuzan, we have just received information that the revolutionary leader Dragon has appeared in Golden City. The two people you want to capture happen to be witnesses, so, unfortunately, we are taking over this matter.”

“Dragon!?” Aokiji was stunned upon hearing the name.

“Yes!” Solomon nodded. “Anyone obstructing our operation to capture Dragon will be considered an accomplice of the revolutionary army. So, sir Kuzan, you’d better be sensible. As Lord Tesoro mentioned, you are no longer in the Navy and have no authority here!”

Aokiji glanced back at Smoker and the others, noticing they were all looking at him. He hesitated.

Although Aokiji had left the Navy, it did not mean he had rebelled against it. He believed the Navy had lost its way, and his departure was more about exploring parts of the world the Navy couldn’t reach, seeking a path to redemption for the Navy. If he clashed with the World Government over Edward Weevil here, it would likely mean he would be seen as an enemy by the World Government, leaving him no way back.

So, Aokiji backed down, stepping aside and signaling Smoker and the others to avoid conflict with the World Government agents..

Though Aokiji retreated, it didn’t mean that Edward Weevil, with his simple mind, knew to back off. With a roar of anger, he ignored the surrounding armed men and charged forward, aiming to kill Aokiji.

His naginata had been broken by Dragon, leaving him without a weapon. However, this didn’t make him any less dangerous.

But Tesoro was right there. There was no way he would let Edward Weevil cause trouble right in front of him.

Reaching out with his ring-laden hand, Tesoro made a subtle squeezing gesture towards Edward Weevil. Suddenly, golden liquid began seeping out from Weevil’s body, quickly enveloping him.

“What… what’s this?” Edward Weevil was startled and struggled desperately. However, his immense strength had no effect on the golden liquid. Soon, his entire body was completely covered by it, the liquid solidifying and rendering him immobile.

This showcased the advantage of Tesoro being the master of this domain. In fact, every person who entered Golden City passed through a tunnel at the port where countless golden dust particles gently fell from above. Many people were unaware that this golden dust was actually the power of Tesoro’s Gold-Gold Fruit. The dazzling golden dust, once settled on a person, gradually seeped into their body. When Tesoro needed it, he could easily manipulate this gold dust to emerge as liquid and effortlessly immobilize someone.

Moreover, this gold, formed by the Devil Fruit’s power, was indestructible due to Tesoro’s awakened abilities. No amount of strength could break it! Only immersion in seawater could nullify the power of this magical gold.

Naturally, Logia-type ability users, due to their inherent “fluidity,” were immune to this gold dust’s infiltration. Similarly, someone like Ian, who could control flames, could also melt away Tesoro’s gold dust.

However, Edward Weevil was clearly not among these exceptions, and he was quickly subdued by Tesoro.
