Chapter 219 Green Bull
After defeating Kaido, the remnants of the Beasts Pirates were quickly eliminated, and most of those who refused to surrender were sent to Ryuchi Cave by Liu Tianci to be punished.
Luffy took out food from Onigashima and generously distributed it to the civilians of Wano Country. Then, a lively banquet began.
Liu Tianci was chewing the food in his hands when he suddenly sensed a weak but extremely arrogant aura approaching the Flower City. He was about to go investigate but was dissuaded by Sanji and others.
Luffy and others thought that the people of Wano Country should handle the matter by themselves first, and then provide assistance if they are unable to do so. After all, if they want to achieve the country's openness and independence, they not only need to accumulate enough military power, but also need to show a strong strength that can deter pirates and world conquerors.
Liu Tianci is a person who is good at listening to advice. He tactfully persuades Yamato and Hiyori not to intervene, and to wait and see whether Momonosuke and his team of samurai and ninjas can solve the problem.
Everyone hid on the top of the mountain, watching the development of the situation. The intruder turned out to be Aramaki, the new admiral of the Navy Headquarters, who was known as the "Green Bull" and was the master of the natural "Mori-Mori Fruit".
In the two years since the end of the Battle of Marineford, Aramaki stood out in the "World Conscription" with his extraordinary strength, was promoted to admiral of the navy, became a follower of Akainu's philosophy, and adhered to the belief of "fighting for justice".
The "Shigawa Shinko" tattoo on Green Bull's body was inspired by the Rakugo play "Shinagawa Shinko". "Shinagawa Shinko" means to go to the underworld hand in hand.
He used to be a top-notch warrior who lived in seclusion from the world until the positions of the three admirals of the navy became vacant. Through fierce competition, he successfully filled the vacancies and became the new three admirals pillar alongside Kizaru and Fujitora.
His appearance is distinctive: thick drooping eyebrows, thick lips tightly closed, slightly messy dark green curly hair, deep eyes under sunglasses, a cigarette often in his mouth, a tall and straight figure, and long and strong legs.
His upper body is naked, and the tattoo on his left side reads "死川心心" (it is said that this tattoo hides a sad past with a woman). He is wearing a coat of justice, a samurai sword hanging from his waist, and a petal pattern on his left trouser leg, which makes him look majestic.
Green Bull hates trivial things, and has not tasted food for three years because of the triviality of eating. He is more tolerant towards women, but even if a beautiful woman feeds him, it is difficult to arouse his appetite.
He is loyal to Akainu's utter justice and shows no mercy to pirates, but he will occasionally disobey Akainu's orders and do his own thing.
He firmly defends the World Government and the Celestial Dragons, and regards non-member countries such as the Country of Wano as "inferior". He believes that only by trampling on such countries can the world be peaceful. His concept of "discrimination" is actually an extreme pursuit of order.
Green Bull, as a "forest man" who eats the fruits of the forest, sees the forest as a source of life on par with the "sea". He is the embodiment of "nature".
He has the ability to create a variety of plants, freely control their growth and shape, and can even transform into a plant, such as a flying flower or a vine that absorbs nutrients. Wherever the Green Bull passes, it leaves behind a vibrant green belt with lush flowers, plants and trees.
He has the ability to photosynthesize, so he can go three years without food. If he merges with a plant, even if the plant is burned, he can still "regenerate" through new buds.
Four years before the World Conference, Green Bull arrived at the holy land of Marijoa.
Upon learning that Fujitora has entered Marijoa, Akainu orders Green Bull to expel him, but Green Bull ignores the order and instead invites Fujitora to share a meal.
After knowing that Fujitora visited Vegapunk, Green Bull asked about Vegapunk's recent situation.
Fujitora praised the food of the Holy Land and invited Green Bull to taste it with him. However, Green Bull found eating too cumbersome and revealed that he had not eaten for three years. He only said that if there was a beautiful woman to feed him, he might make an exception.
On the fourth day of the World Conference, the Revolutionary Army Chief of Staff Sabo and his army commanders clashed with Green Bull and Fujitora in the holy land of Marijoa in order to recapture Bartholomew Kuma and declare war on the Celestial Dragons.
During this period, Green Bull had a brief confrontation with Mori, the captain of the Revolutionary Army's Western Army. Later, because Fujitora assisted the Revolutionary Army in liberating slaves, Green Bull turned to conflict with Fujitora. In the end, the Revolutionary Army successfully rescued Big Bear and evacuated safely.
Seven days after Luffy and his team defeated Kaido, Green Bull went to Wano Country alone. Before landing, he talked to Akainu, who warned him not to act rashly.
Green Bull first arrived at the Usagi Donbaru Prisoner Mining Site in Wano Country, easily defeated the remnants of the Beasts Pirates, and absorbed nutrients from them.
He then ordered the navy to send warships, and went to the Flower Capital with Luffy's bounty order, openly declaring that he would take Luffy's head.
On the eve of arriving at the Flower Capital, the retainers of the Kozuki family stood in front of Green Bull.
Green Bull then used the power of the Mori-Mori Fruit to fight the enemy, and contemptuously said that the enemy was just an "inferior" existence to the World Government and had no right to enjoy human rights, and that even if he killed them, he would not be subject to legal sanctions.
At this time, Kozuki Momonosuke transformed into a dragon and intended to release "hot breath" to attack, but failed.
Green Bull was surprised by the sudden appearance of the pink dragon, and then bound Momonosuke with the power of the fruit and warned him not to interfere.
After knocking down Momonosuke, Green Bull was attacked by Raizo's Curl-Curl Fruit again, but he easily absorbed Raizo's power with his vines and entangled other enemies.
However, at this critical moment, Momonosuke finally succeeded in releasing the "hot breath". Green Bull cleverly evaded it with the power of the fruit and escaped.
Just as he was about to launch a counterattack, he felt the domineering aura of Red-Hair Shanks and realized that it was useless to make enemies with the Red-Hair Pirates, so he decided to retreat.
Luffy said he sensed the scent of a familiar person, and Sanji then asked Liu Tianci if he wanted to capture Green Bull.
Liu Tianci thought about it for a moment, considering that he already had many plant-type Pokémon (Grass-type), and that Green Bull was not good-looking and even Momonosuke could not defeat him easily, so his strength could not help but be questioned.
At this time, Yamato and Hiyori, who were watching, expressed their willingness to compete with Green Bull. Liu Tianci nodded and warned: "Be careful."
Yamato then transformed into a hybrid beast form, a big-mouthed wolf that looked like Cang Xiang, and rushed out. Hiyori transformed into a half-servant sword general form and jumped onto Yamato's back, like a female general wearing armor and controlling a giant beast, looking heroic.
The retreating Green Bull suddenly heard the sound of breaking wind, and saw Hiyori wielding the Yama Sword and performing the Pokémon's special move "Sneak Attack", which aims to capture the opponent's momentary flaws, cut accurately, and easily hit the vital points.
Green Bull was instantly cut into several pieces. However, as a user of the Nature Fruit and since Hiyori had not mastered Haki, this attack only caused physical damage and failed to touch Green Bull's body.
It seems that Hiyori was furious when he saw Momonosuke being humiliated. Although he failed to kill him, he cut Green Bull into pieces as thin as cucumber shreds.
