Chapter 141 Return to the Pirate World! Familiar Feeling!
Chapter 141 Return to the Pirate World! Familiar Feeling!
"Will you introduce us to our guest, Dumbledore?"
Professor Flitwick, the shortest of the class, looked at Borsalino with great curiosity. He was the head of Ravenclaw House and a famous duelling champion.
"Filius, please allow me to introduce you. This is Mr. Borsalino from afar. Flitwick is the professor of Charms and a very good wizard."
Dumbledore didn't want Borsalino's identity to be exposed too early. Just to be prepared for a rainy day, he let the professors and students of Hogwarts know about this person first.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Borsalino. I hope you enjoy what you see and hear at Hogwarts."
Professor Flitwick looked at Dumbledore in surprise. Was he serious about such a simple introduction?
However, out of trust in Dumbledore, Professor Flitwick took the initiative to greet Borsalino.
"Wow, a guest from far away, that's a great gimmick, I mean, I've been to a lot of far away places, like the Himalayas in Tibet, and I encountered the Yeti there, which was a really big guy..."
Before Borsalino could respond, a guy who looked a little flashy took the initiative to take over the conversation.
It was this year's Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, Gilderoy Lockhart, a guy who seemed very flamboyant.
Regardless of whether others paid attention to him or not, Lockhart kept talking non-stop, bragging about his image and past adventures.
But when he was talking excitedly, he suddenly felt something in his mouth, so he swallowed it subconsciously.
As a result, he screamed in pain because of the spiciness, so he quickly drank a glass of water, but after drinking it, he found that the water in the glass had turned into hot sauce at some point.
The bottle of hot sauce on the table was empty; he had drunk the entire bottle.
This time Lockhart couldn't even scream, he lay on the table twitching like a dead fish.
"What a prank, how did you pull that off?"
Dumbledore burst out laughing and immediately locked onto Borsalino as the 'suspect'.
The reason was simple. Among all the people present, no one except Borsalino could do anything in front of Dumbledore without being discovered by him.
What Dumbledore couldn't understand was that he didn't see Borsalino make any moves from beginning to end. Could it be that the "magic" in the other world was so magical?
"It's nothing special, just a little faster."
Borsalino smiled and replied that human vision has physical limits. Even before Borsalino got the Flash's body double, he was already able to use his speed to make it impossible for most people to see his movements.
However, even Dumbledore couldn't detect any trace of it, so that was all thanks to the speed force.
"It's amazing...Snape, I need your help..."
Dumbledore nodded, and it was unclear whether he believed Borsalino's answer or not.
Dumbledore obviously didn't want a professor to lose his composure in front of his students, so he turned his attention to their Potions professor.
Snape, who was watching the show on the side, was called by Dumbledore and had to reluctantly take out the potion and feed it to Lockhart.
Lockhart, who had just taken a breath, had not yet had time to speak when he heard Snape's very cold voice.
"What I poured into your mouth was a painkiller. It will only temporarily deprive you of your sense of pain. If you don't want your throat and stomach to get damaged, you'd better go to the infirmary immediately."
Snape showed a forced smile. He had always wanted to become the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, but was repeatedly rejected by Dumbledore.
On the contrary, this boastful guy didn't know how he got Dumbledore's approval.
If Dumbledore hadn't spoken, Snape would have had to watch Lockhart's joke more.
Lockhart, covering his throat, seemed to feel the pain again, and his stomach and intestines began to react due to the stimulation of the hot sauce.
Lockhart didn't dare to stay any longer and fled without even having time to say a single harsh word. Before figuring out how Borsalino had played a trick on him, Lockhart probably wouldn't dare to appear in front of Borsalino again.
"This is our Potions professor, Severus Snape, a top potions master."
Dumbledore didn't mind and took the opportunity to introduce Snape's identity to Borsalino.
"It's nice to meet you, Professor Flitwick, Professor Snape."
Borsalino nodded to Flitwick and Snape respectively, a Charms professor and a Potions professor, both of whom were excellent workers.
Especially Snape. If he knew about Orochimaru's Impure World Reincarnation, Snape would definitely choose to join the chat group. If Lily Potter could be brought back to life, he would probably be happy to transform into a ruthless potion-making machine.
If we take into account that Lily Potter's potion skills are also very high, the potion production efficiency might be doubled on the spot.
"Good job!"
Professor Flitwick smiled and gave Borsalino a thumbs up, expressing his sincere appreciation for what he did.
Although the other professors around did not speak, the smiles on their faces were enough to prove their position.
It has to be said that Gilderoy Lockhart's style is indeed a bit hateful, that is, most of the professors who bully him don't want to fall out with him, otherwise a liar like him wouldn't be able to survive even a single day in Hogwarts.
"Haha, I've wanted to do that for a long time!"
The fat Professor Sprout said with a smile that what she hated most was people questioning her expertise and messing with her greenhouse.
It just so happened that Lockhart had just arrived at Hogwarts and committed both of these crimes. The only reason the poisonous tentacles didn't bite Lockhart was because Professor Sprout was afraid that he would lead the badger astray.
Without Lockhart who was like a fly, the dining atmosphere of the faculty and staff was obviously much better, and Borsalino also got to know all the professors of Hogwarts.
Although the students below were also very curious about Borsalino, Dumbledore did not seem to be prepared to introduce Borsalino to everyone.
The dinner at Hogwarts also changed Borsalino's opinion. To say that it was delicious would be a lie, but the cooking skills of the house-elves could indeed be described as turning decay into something magical.
He can make food that looks like dark cuisine so delicious that even Borsalino can barely eat it.
After dinner, Borsalino took the initiative to say goodbye to Dumbledore. The purpose of this trip had almost been achieved. He also took a walk around Hogwarts and had a meal. There was no reason for him to stay any longer.
Next he has to go back to One Punch World to deal with matters concerning the training camp. To be honest, he is a bit irresponsible as an instructor.
Not only did he not teach the heroes at all throughout the process, but he also threw all the mess to Saitama afterwards.
Fortunately, the heroes participating in the training camp were not marines, otherwise they would have to go to the Marine Headquarters to file a complaint.
The flow of time in the Harry Potter world is several times faster than that in the One Punch World. By the time Borsalino returned to the One Punch World, several days had passed.
The impatient Tornado ended her rare vacation time and returned to the Hero Association to fulfill her duties as the second-ranked S-ranker.
The disappearance of Mrs. Perus made the top leaders of the Hero Association feel insecure, but after more than a week without finding any clues, they had to temporarily give up the investigation.
After all, the heroes of the Hero Association are not their subordinates, so there is no reason for them to just watch the disaster happen without doing anything.
Of course, what is more important is that the disappearance of Mrs. Perus has led to a certain degree of power vacuum in the top management of the association.
Many high-ranking officials have set their sights on the position that originally belonged to Mrs. Perus.
Under such circumstances, investigating the cause of Mrs. Perrus' disappearance and taking action against Speed Flash became difficult and thankless.
Especially after Tornado's return, the Hero Association still needs to rely on this 'ultimate weapon', and dare not have any thoughts that may make Tornado unhappy.
In addition, Fubuki also let go of her worries and was promoted from the 1st place in B class to the 7th place in A class in one go.
As the Fubuki Group is no longer limited to the field of B-class heroes, many heroes in the training camp choose to join actively, and the Fubuki Group has truly become the largest faction in the Hero Association.
In terms of the number of people, the Fubuki Group has a huge scale of nearly a hundred people, which is equivalent to nearly one-tenth of the heroes in the entire Hero Association joining the Fubuki Group.
In terms of hero rankings, the Fubuki team, which has the S-ranked 2nd-placed Thrilling Tornado and the S-ranked 4th-placed Speed Flash, cannot be compared with them even by the Vest Hero Gang of the Vest Master.
"Then the training camp is up to you."
Borsalino taught Saitama the Six Styles of the Navy, or rather demonstrated them in front of Saitama, and the bald devil mastered the Six Styles of the Navy easily.
Even the most difficult life restoration was not a problem for him. What disappointed Saitama was that even though he could theoretically perfectly control the life restoration of all cells in his body, it couldn't save his bald head!
"Ah, then we have an agreement that when you finish your training, you must come to me as soon as possible!"
Saitama, who was depressed for a while, soon cheered up again because Borsalino had promised to have a good fight with Saitama after he completed his "training".
Of course, the price is that when Borsalino goes to the mountains to "train", Saitama will take over his place to watch over the training camp and teach the six styles to the heroes in the training camp.
"Don't worry, next time we meet, I'll play a good fight with you!"
Borsalino also spoke very seriously.
As for when he will finish his "cultivation" and come back, that depends on when he is sure he can beat that bald guy.
Fortunately, if nothing unexpected happens, such as the Bald Demon King's super evolution, the gap between Borsalino and him will not be too far. Even without a huge improvement like a Stand, Borsalino can catch up with Saitama by just getting stronger step by step.
Seeing that everything was arranged, Borsalino returned to the pirate world with peace of mind.
But before leaving, Borsalino always felt that he might have forgotten something, but until he disappeared in the white light, he couldn't remember what he had missed.
"What?! The master went to the mountains to practice?!"
Gloribas, who was struggling to survive being beaten up by the heroes and Saitama every day, was completely dumbfounded. He almost wanted to spray those hateful heroes with his invincible acid and melt them all many times.
But it was because he thought that Borsalino would come back sooner or later that Gloribas was able to grit his teeth and endure.
As a result, its forbearance was rewarded with Borsalino's ruthless abandonment. Gloribas didn't even know that Borsalino had forgotten its existence.
Don’t aliens have human rights? Do aliens deserve to be bullied by you?
The enraged Gloribas was about to go berserk on the spot...
Then it saw the dull bald head, and the psychological trauma of being beaten to pieces by a punch countless times quickly calmed it down.
In fact, there is nothing wrong with being a sandbag. Those indigenous heroes can't hurt it anyway.
Just consider it as the price paid for survival. It is the only one among the three top warriors still alive. Even Lord Boros was killed without leaving any trace. What else is there to complain about?
Through repeated hypnosis and brainwashing, Gloribas could even force out a smile at the bald devil who passed by.
"Oh, it's so ugly... You should get spanked."
Saitama spoke to Gloribas with disdain. Borsalino didn't say what to do with this alien sandbag, so Saitama simply let it stay in the training camp as a sandbag.
Occasionally, he can serve as a sparring partner for Genos and Flash Flash, and it is quite convenient to use.
Even though Gloribas is not happy about it, it is still very popular in the training camp. The heroes feel that hitting it feels much better than hitting a wooden stake. It's just that it's a bit of a waste that only S-level heroes can apply for a duel.
"Okay, I'll go right away..."
Gloribas replied with an apologetic smile, saying that he had been frightened by Saitama and was no longer the iron-headed kid who dared to mock the bald devil to his face.
Even though it is immune to 99% of physical damage, Saitama's 1% output can easily destroy it.
Whenever night falls and those energetic heroes fall asleep, Gloribas, who is trapped in the telekinetic cage, can't help but look up at the starry sky.
It would have been great if it had not come to Earth with Boros. After twenty years of waiting, it ended up being a prisoner and suffering humiliation from the natives. Why did it suffer this?
Borsalino returned to the pirate world and stretched out on the sofa. When he looked out the window, the night had turned into day.
The marines on the warship were very conscious and no one came to disturb Admiral Kizaru who had just experienced a great battle.
"Bulu Bulu, Bulu Bulu..."
Just as Borsalino was about to get up, the Den Den Mushi beside him suddenly rang.
"This is Borsalino, what can I do for you?"
Although he had been away from the pirate world for ten days or half a month, Borsalino quickly returned to his original lazy style after his return.
"Borsalino? Why didn't you answer the Den Den Mushi when I called you just now?"
The person on the other end of the Den Den Mushi was the Five Elders, who were at the pinnacle of power in the World Government. As soon as the call was connected, the bearded Five Elders began to question in a menacing manner.
Under normal circumstances, the Five Elders would not bother to care about the life or death of this troublemaker Borsalino.
But now Borsalino is carrying the pure gold that they have been dreaming about. Since the Den Den Mushi just now failed to connect, they couldn't help but want to send CP0 to confirm the situation.
"Of course I'm sleeping, otherwise why don't you think I'd answer it?"
Borsalino sneered and said that the World Government and the Navy Headquarters have never been a simple superior-subordinate relationship. The Navy certainly needs the military funds and righteousness provided by the World Government, but the World Government also needs the violence of the Navy to endorse it.
Otherwise, the world government's army and the divine army alone would not be enough to support the huge world government system.
In other words, the Navy Admiral also has the capital to argue in front of the Five Elders. The only problem lies in the Navy Admiral's own position.
"… Borsalino, please be aware of your identity! You are not even a naval admiral yet!"
Saint Vochuli growled cowardly, saying that it didn't seem like a good idea to let Borsalino become the admiral of the navy just for pure gold.
The importance of the position of Admiral of the Navy cannot be explained in just a few words.
The previous Grand Admiral, Cybernetic Sora, was leaning towards the World Government and chose to suppress the power of the Navy faction. During his tenure, there were not even three full admirals.
It was also during his tenure that the strength of the navy became unprecedentedly weak. Not only did the shame of the navy admiral personally taking action and being defeated occur, but also a ruthless character like the Pirate King Rocks was born.
When the World Government realized that something was not right, it had no choice but to promote the then Admiral Sengoku to the position of Navy Marshal.
After all, Zefa had the idea of retiring at that time, and another general of the same period happened to be Borsalino.
Looking at Borsalino now, you can understand what he was like back then.
The Warring States Marshal, who advocates justice and ruling the world, has a relatively neutral stance, but still prefers the navy.
Although Sengoku had already become the marshal when Gol D. Roger became the Pirate King, considering the period when Roger was active, the blame obviously cannot be entirely placed on Sengoku.
After serving as the Navy Admiral during the Warring States Period, the Navy's power achieved unprecedented development. Not only did it gather the three admirals, but it also had Garp, a non-staff naval hero.
If we count the two admiral candidates, Vice Admiral Ahe and the retired Admiral Zephyr.
At this time, the navy even possessed high-end combat power that was comparable to all the pirate groups in the entire New World, even if the strongest Whitebeard Pirates and Red Hair Pirates joined forces, plus Dragon's Revolutionary Army, and a rebellious former admiral candidate Drokus.
Facing the Navy Headquarters which had not yet put its full efforts into the battle, the situation in which Whitebeard was killed and Red Hair was seriously injured was enough to prove the power of the Navy at that time.
Even Borsalino, who has not yet been officially promoted to the rank of Admiral of the Navy, can rely on this victory to challenge the Five Elders.
"It's almost time, isn't it? Or do you think I'm not fit to be a Marine Admiral? Then should I go back and continue to be an admiral?"
Borsalino yawned and spoke, having both has always been the basic operation of the Five Elders. These old guys probably hoped that he would choose to become a staunch supporter of the World Government like old man Kong for the position of Navy Admiral.
If nothing unexpected happens, when he arrives in Marijoa, the first person to greet him will most likely be Old Man Kong. After all, he was his old superior who once promoted him, and to some extent, he could be considered half of Borsalino's teacher, so he would have to give Old Man Kong some face.
Holy Vochuli was so angry that he was shaking all over, but he didn't dare to say a word. Otherwise, with Borsalino's bastard character, he would probably go back home to the Navy Headquarters and then find a random sea area to throw the pure gold away and be done with it.
Especially before this, this was not the first time that Borsalino had done something similar, otherwise the Five Elders would not have regarded him as a thorn in the side.
If it were anything else, Saint Vochuli would immediately make Borsalino understand the consequences of being angry with the Five Elders.
But what Borsalino holds in his hand is pure gold that can preserve youth forever, and it is the hope that the rule of the Five Elders can continue!
It is a priceless treasure that has been sought for hundreds of years by the World Government and coveted by all the Five Elder Stars of all generations!
“…Don’t say anything angry. Get to Marijoa as soon as possible. Your promotion ceremony is ready!”
Saint Vochuli said with gritted teeth that he still didn't dare to bet pure gold on Borsalino's willfulness.
But just as he finished speaking, Saint Wokuri hung up the Den Den Mushi with a click.
He was afraid that if he continued talking, Borsalino would be so angry that he would die before the pure gold was delivered to Marijoa.
"Tsk tsk, it's still that familiar feeling..."
Borsalino nodded with satisfaction, thinking that after overthrowing the World Government, he could consider keeping the Five Elders and letting them do some work like cleaning out the night soil.
On the other side, after hanging up the Den Den Mushi, Wokuri-sama was still cursing.
Not to mention after becoming one of the Five Elder Stars, even when he was still a Celestial Dragon, he had never suffered such humiliation.
In other words, Borsalino is impeccable in terms of strength, record, achievements and qualifications. Otherwise, he would have to be promoted to the rank of Admiral of the Navy with a pinch of the nose, and Saint Vochuli could also find some trouble for Borsalino.
"Is it that fellow Borsalino?"
Seeing Saint Vochuli's unhappy face, Saint Pitt asked with a bit of amusement.
Fortunately, as the God of Agricultural Affairs, although his influence is not as good as that of several other "predecessors", there is nothing that can bother him.
Even the most brutal kings of allied nations must kneel down and lick the boots of the World Government and the Five Elders, because they know very well that the World Government is the basis for them to levy heavy taxes without having to worry about being overthrown.
"Who else could it be other than him? Don't be too happy too soon. Sooner or later, you will need to use the navy. Then you will know how annoying that bastard is!"
Saint Wochuli snorted. The Five Elder Stars each had responsibilities in different areas.
Zambaron V. Nasujuro-sei——the martial god of finance!
Markas Mazsaint——the god of illusion!
Jaygolucia Satan-the god of scientific defense!
Shepard ten Peter Saint——the god of agriculture!
