Jujutsu Kaisen: Above the Throne

Click...

Baccarat, who was following closely behind, paused and looked at the figure stopping in front of him with a puzzled expression: What's the matter, Mr. Aokiji?

No, it's nothing.

Qingzhi took out his hands from his pockets and said in a slightly trembling tone: Miss Baccarat, could you please wait outside for a moment?

This reaction...

Glancing at the huge wooden house in front of Aokiji, Bakala quietly took a few steps back.

Then I'll wait for you outside, but...

Baccarat's hands behind his back quietly took off his gloves: I will not conceal the entire process of this mission and report it.

I would rather fall out with Qing Pheasant than dare to deceive the emperor.

There used to be a few idiots in the empire who were unable to do things well and delayed future orders due to drinking.

It's not a big deal, but what happened to those idiots...

Cut off in the middle, resurrect, then cut off... repeat this dozens of times.

Just thinking about that bloody scene made Baccarat's scalp tingle.

She didn't want to go through that kind of torture.

Don't worry, I won't embarrass you.

I will report directly to the president afterwards.

Qing Zhi stared at the wooden house in front of him, his eyes full of complexity under his sunglasses.

Baccarat breathed a sigh of relief and silently put on his gloves: I understand, then I will wait for you outside.

Qingzhi nodded and did not respond any further.

Walking towards the huge tree house step by step, the expression on Qingzhi's face became more and more complex.

Squeak!

Pushing open the door of the tree house, there is a huge library inside.

Millions of old books are carefully collected by giants in the library, and this library still has a special keeper.

The current library is exactly where Vegapunk visited secretly.

The only difference is that the giant who was covered in bandages has revealed his true appearance.

He is twenty meters tall as a normal giant, with long orange hair and a beard surrounding his face that looks like a lion's mane.

He was wearing an unconventional white research robe draped over his body, and his exposed arms and calves still had frostbite and burns from those years ago.

Aoki's eyes were focused on the giant, and his tone was slightly trembling: Long time no see... Lieutenant General Sauro.

Come on, hee hee hee!

The giant's unique laugh is still the same as before.

Lieutenant General... I haven't heard that title for a long time.

It's you Qingji, I didn't expect you to leave the navy.

The giant sat cross-legged on the ground and looked at Aoki with an equally complex look: No matter what your purpose is this time...

I still want to thank you for deliberately holding back on O'Hara.

More than twenty years ago, Ha'ora was surrounded by the Demon-Slaying Order, and the port was surrounded by naval warships.

Aokiji's seemingly ruthless frozen capsules were mostly meant for the Navy on shore and Akainu to see.

The island that was baptized by gunfire was not without survivors.

After the fire burned, leaving a large area with frostbite and burns, Sauro also understood his friend's painstaking efforts.

Qingzhi shook his head: I didn't expect you to survive in such a doomsday.

I'm really surprised to see you again.

Aokiji, who was still a lieutenant general back then, was still the innocent kid who worshiped Garp and upheld burning justice.

How could he kill his friend?

But in the end, as the warship returned, Aokiji never heard from Sauro again.

He also once thought that Sauro might have died on the island that was burned out by gunfire.

did not expect,

After seeing each other for more than 20 years, the two men, who were no longer in the navy, actually reached the point where they had to take action.

It's really good fortune that makes people...

Qing Pheasant sighed softly, and the chill began to spread to his feet.

Sauro, surrender.

Chapter 261 Recruit coolies!

The past events are vivid in my mind.

Back then, Sauro betrayed the navy just to protect those innocent scholars.

Risking his life to protect eight-year-old Nico Robin.

Freeze your best friend with your own hands.

Aoki finally felt compassion and sent Robin away from the island that was about to be destroyed.

Until the emergence of the Empire, Aokiji secretly watched Robin's growth.

Just as it was said back then.

Aoki let Robin go, more because he wanted to see the seeds that Sauro had protected with his life...

What exactly will it look like?

Reunion after many years.

Both of them are no longer marines, but their positions are still hostile.

Sauro, surrender.

Qing Zhi's lowered eyes were obscured by the frost on his sunglasses.

The polar ice shrouded in cold mist slowly approached the giant, and the blue pheasant was waiting for the last answer.

Wait for Aokiji!

Sauro stood up and stood in front of the bookshelf, raising his hands in a gesture of surrender under Aoki's surprised gaze.

My life is at your disposal. I have only one request...

I ask you to preserve this library that represents O'Hara's legacy.

Dr. Clover, Robin's mother, and countless scholars who pursue the truth.

The current library is the history and knowledge that those people have sacrificed everything to protect.

In Sauro's eyes, the value of these books is far more important than his own life.

Haguwal D. Sauro.

A giant clan born in the South China Sea, he is also a member of the D clan.

Unlike the savage giants of Elbaf, Sauro is a shy and friendly giant in Robin's evaluation.

When Sauro was a lieutenant general in the Navy, he repeatedly explained to his subordinates that he was a gentle member of the giants, not a reckless man who only knew how to fight and kill.

so,

Compared to the brave giants on the island who are not afraid of death, Sauro understands the world better than them.

Sauro had long been aware of the devastating sound under the white sea.

But because the attack came too suddenly, he didn't have time to transfer millions of documents.

therefore,

He could only pray that the officials of the empire would not discover this place and not deliberately board the White Sea.

I just didn't expect that it would be my former best friend who came.

is that so......

The temperature inside the house began to warm up, and the ice melted visibly.

Only then did Aoki look at the things that Sauro wanted to protect with his life again.

Not only are there ancient documents, but on the bookshelf closest to Sauro, there are also bounty orders for all members of the Straw Hat crew.

Among them, the one of Nico Robin was placed in the most conspicuous position.

If Robin knew you were still alive, she would be happy too.

Come on, hee hee hee!

Savulo laughed again when he mentioned the little girl he had protected with his life.

Gentle eyes glanced at Robin's smiling face on the reward order: Of course, little Robin and I have a very good relationship!

In life, you will never be alone all the time.

Robin's current group of companions can protect her well, which is really gratifying!

Aoki nodded and said with emotion: Yes, the Straw Hats, who were still new members at the time, dared to become enemies of the World Government just for Robin alone. I was also very surprised at the beginning.

During the Judiciary Island incident, the Straw Hats were bold enough to break through the World Government's flag and openly provoke the world.

This was also the first time Aokiji realized what was special about the Straw Hats.

...

After Sauro chose to surrender, the two seemed to have returned to the time when they were close friends.

Can you tell me? The purpose of the Empire sending you here?
