"Nami, I'm sorry..."

At the top of a house, Ren leaned against the wall leisurely. Looking at the setting sun, and then looking at the Going Merry in the distance, his eyes were a little deep: "However, I believe that soon, we will be able to truly adventure together!"

"But, you will no longer be a navigator of the Straw Hat Pirates, but you will be my companion!" With the cool sea breeze, there was a "rustling" sound in his ears, and he subconsciously grabbed it. It was a newspaper that was blown over.

"Oh? The newspaper from half a month ago?" He raised an eyebrow. He had nothing to do, so he started reading there.

"The fleet led by Vice Admiral Doll, the director of the Marine G-14 branch, clashed with the Beasts Pirates' 'Tobiroppo' Who's Who?"

Looking at the headline above, Ren was a little surprised: "Who's Who...if I remember correctly, that guy should be an elite agent of the original CP9, right?"

In his mind, he recalled the information about this cadre who was one of the "Tobiroppo" among the Beasts Pirates, second only to the "Three Disasters".

Who's Who was a former CP9 employee. About 10 years ago, he received an order from the World Government to escort the Paramecia Rubber-Rubber Fruit, but was attacked by the Red Hair Pirates who took the Rubber Fruit away.

He was held accountable by the world government and imprisoned. Later, he escaped from prison and formed a pirate group to go to sea. Subdued by Kaido, his crew merged into Beasts Pirates.

Because he is a former CP9 agent, he knows many secrets of the World Government, and he is also a traitor. The world government has always wanted to kill him.

However, due to the protection of Kaido, the CP agents were unable to directly sneak into Wano to assassinate him. The Marines also tried to capture him several times, but he always escaped.

After all, unless they make up their mind and really don't hesitate to go to war with Kaido, otherwise, most of the territory in the New World has been firmly controlled by pirates, and a new order has already been formed in this sea. Even Marine will not dare to cross the line easily.

After all, Kaido's Mythical Zoan's ability in the form of Azure Dragon is a real disaster-level power, and he can easily take revenge by destroying various Marine fleets in the New World. Maybe even the G-5, G-14 and other Marine branch bases in the New World will suffer.

With the special ability of the Azure Dragon form. Kaido doesn't need to fight Marines at all. He can directly use the flame cloud to move the entire island where the Marine Base is located away from the sea level, let it fly hundreds or thousands of meters into the air, and then suddenly remove the ability and throw the entire island down. There aren't many Marines who can survive that.

"Well, there was a fierce friction between the Ochoku Pirates and the Big-Mom Pirates in order to seize a resource island?"

Seeing this, he couldn't help but stare. Whitebeard, Golden Lion, BIG-MOM, Kaido, Ochoku and others are said to have been members of Rocks Pirate decades ago and Ochoku was once a famous pirate in the New World.

After the disbandment of Rocks Pirate, he directly occupied the headquarters of Rocks Pirate - the Hachinosu Island known as a Pirate Paradise.

Originally, like Charlotte Linlin, Kaido and the others, he was a very strong players second only to Whitebeard, Golden Lion, Roger and others.

But it's a little worse after all. He failed to reach the throne of a Yonko. Even when the Ochoku clashed with the Red Hair Pirates four years ago, they were completely defeated.

Being stepped on by the Red Hair Pirates, who rose to the top, as a loser, he watched the red-haired Shanks gain momentum and become one of the "Yonko" along with Whitebeard, BIG-MOM, and Kaido.

"Tsk tsk... Paramecia Warp-Warp Fruit user?" A great pirate who has been active since the beginning of the Rocks era and being able to occupy a stable position in the New World where the territories are divided, competing with each other, and constantly fighting each other, Ochoku's personal strength is definitely not inferior to Marine Admiral but the forces under his command are far inferior to those of the "Yonko".

In the battle with the Red Hair Pirates a few years ago, he suffered heavy losses and his vitality was severely damaged. Many elite cadres of his crew were lost. In the past few years, he had been lying low and silently licking his wounds but he never recovered.

"These monsters have quite strong fruit abilities..."

Ren's eyes flashed. If he remembered correctly, this guy Ochoku seems to have been hunted by Blackbeard. The Warp-Warp fruit's ability was acquired by Van Auger, the sniper of the Blackbeard Pirates.

However, as competitors who also want to seize world hegemony, with him here, the Blackbeard Pirates will no longer take advantage in troubled waters.

Ren is not going to sit back and watch the Blackbeard Pirates develop. Even if Kaido fails to catch Blackbeard this time, he is not prepared to let Marshall D Teach get his wish.

Even in the ensuing storm, Whitebeard, the "strongest man in the world", died and even if he can't get that Paramecia Quake-Quake Fruit, Blackbeard will definitely not get it.

"The Kingdom of Xinix..." As he continued reading the newspaper. Ren stared at it, a little surprised: "The famous Grand Line biologist Marisol Oceanus was arrested by the World government for conducting dangerous and prohibited biochemical experiments without authorization, and was escorted to Enies Lobby for trial?"

"Scientist?" His eyes flickered. He stood up and looked toward the sea. He couldn't help but reveal a playful smile: "Interesting guy!"

It's a Scientist! Isn't he just looking for a crewmate who's a Scientist? Looking at the introduction in the report, given the poor nature of World Government, the reason for this guy's arrest is certainly not very credible.

After all, if you really touch some taboo of the World Government, you will be directly arrested. He thought about it carefully. He can go and see first, if the other party really has some special talents and is willing to work for him, he still has to find a suitable owner for the Munch-Munch Fruit.

"It's just right. It doesn't hurt to go there in advance."

He took out the Enies Lobby Eternal Pose which he "collected" from the G-8 Marine Branch. Fiery red wings appeared directly behind Ren, as he started flying towards Enies Lobby.

"I just don't know if that guy was sent directly to the Deep Sea Prison, Impel Down!"

TN: There is a lot of non-canon content which the author created in this chapter about Ochoku as we practically know very little about him and it's quite convenient for the plot.
