One Piece: I Start with a Married Woman, I Am the Evil Admiral!

Chapter 263 Unexplained Hostility

Although Vice Admiral Tsuru is a Vice Admiral of the Marine Headquarters like Garp, her status in the Navy is far beyond that of an ordinary Vice Admiral.

Just as Garp is hailed as a naval hero, Tsuru is also respectfully called "the Grand Strategist".

This admirable female general had fought alongside Sengoku and Garp before the Great Pirate Era, together supporting the entire Navy.

In the hearts of many soldiers, He was not only a powerful general, but also an object of their deepest admiration. With her rich combat experience and profound knowledge accumulated over the years, she became a true strategist.

It's also worth mentioning that the Devil Fruit Tsuru ate was the Paramecia-type Wash-Wash Fruit, which allowed her to transform into a washer. She and Donquixote Doflamingo are considered arch-enemies.

In every clash between the two, Tsuru always manages to put the arrogant Doflamingo in a miserable situation, and the extent of her pursuit can only be described as horrific.

This situation is just as intense as when Garp relentlessly pursued Roger back then.

Admittedly, comparing the two side by side reveals a world of difference, with no basis for comparison whatsoever.

However, the fact that she was able to relentlessly pursue Doflamingo and attack him all the way shows that she is not just someone with an extraordinary intelligence.

In addition, she must possess astonishingly powerful strength.

While he may pale in comparison to legendary figures like Gol D. Roger, the Pirate King, and Garp, the Marine hero, he is clearly superior to Doflamingo.

This shows that her strength has at least reached the level of a Shichibukai, and she should not be underestimated.

As for Momousagi Gion, there's no need to elaborate. Like Enni, she's considered a candidate for Admiral.

Its strength and prestige within the naval system are undoubtedly top-tier, making it difficult for others to match.

While Basil Hawkins and Ulki were observing them, they were also quietly observing them.

It's worth noting that these so-called "supernovas" have been making quite a splash lately, each one more outrageous than the last.

That is why Gion and Lieutenant General Tsuru recognized Basil Hawkins and Urki's true identities with just a glance, and a strong sense of surprise welled up in their hearts.

You must know, this is the marshal's office!

In the past, there would never have been any trace of pirates in such a place.

However, the fact that these two notorious pirates had brazenly appeared here today was truly baffling to Gion and Vice Admiral Tsuru.

The two of them frowned slightly in unison, their eyes revealing obvious displeasure, along with a hint of doubt.

However, their attention was soon drawn to Aini.

In an instant, everything seemed to become clear.

After all, Enni has always had a penchant for recruiting pirates to serve him, which is no secret within the Navy.

His actions naturally elicited two completely different attitudes within the military: some expressed strong opposition, believing that the move would damage the navy's prestige; others, of course, held a supportive view, feeling that it might bring new strength and strategies to the navy.

Without a doubt, Gion was indeed one of the key figures standing in the opposition camp.

At that moment, her icy gaze shot straight at Aini, the hostility within it almost tangible, as if sternly warning Aini.

Clearly, Annie's act of bringing the pirates to the Marine Admiral's office had completely crossed her line.

After all, in Gion's eyes, pirates will always be pirates, no matter what they say or what they have experienced.

These pirates have the blood of innocent people on their hands. Sending them to Impel Down to be punished is already a great act of leniency and mercy.

If such villains were to be transformed into naval commanders, it would undoubtedly be the most unfair and intolerable thing in the world for those who had suffered their brutality.

On the other side, Eni almost instantly noticed the hostile gaze from Gion, and a sense of doubt welled up in her heart.

He frantically searched his memory, but he couldn't recall when or where he had offended the person in front of him.

No, after much deliberation, Aini suddenly realized a startling fact—they had never actually met!

If that's the case, then where does this inexplicable hostility come from?

Thinking of this, Aini couldn't help but frown deeply. Her eyes, which had previously shone with a friendly light, underwent a dramatic change in an instant, as if shrouded in a layer of frost. A cold, piercing glint flashed across her eyes like lightning.

Indeed, Gion possesses a stunningly beautiful face, like a delicate flower blooming in the snow; moreover, she is a highly anticipated candidate for general, backed by a formidable and powerful force.

But even so, so what?

Would Aini be afraid of these things?

The answer is obviously no.

He is no longer the same person he once was, a weakling who yielded to everyone.

No one could make him yield or back down in the slightest.

And so, at that very moment, as their gazes met in mid-air, Eni met Gion's gaze without flinching. Gion was slightly taken aback, clearly having also keenly noticed the displeasure in Eni's eyes.

The cold glint in Aini's eyes was noticed by Lieutenant General Tsuru, who was standing nearby.

Her expression changed slightly; a barely perceptible ripple appeared on her previously calm face, and a faint sense of displeasure welled up in her heart.

However, the experienced and composed Lieutenant General Tsuru quickly regained her composure. She knew that Eni was not usually such an impulsive person, although her personality was not the calm and reserved type.

But he's not the kind of person who acts impulsively and recklessly.

So she quickly began to think about the reasons behind it.

After a moment's thought, Vice Admiral Tsuru immediately realized that Eni and Gion had never met before, and logically speaking, there was no way that Eni would show such a hostile look for no reason.

Since everything happens for a reason, the problem likely lies with the person Aini is currently looking at.

Thinking of this, Lieutenant General Tsuru turned his head without hesitation, his gaze following Aini's line of sight with piercing intensity.
