As if guessing Admiral Aokiji's doubt,
Fujitora shook his head and said, "Back then, Sengoku could tolerate the Celestial Dragons' Buster Call. Now, facing a dark matter that doesn't involve the Navy Alliance, and from which he can gain benefits and strengthen the Navy's power, do you think he would turn a blind eye?"
The commander of the Navy Alliance did not directly interfere with the aristocratic group's affairs; he merely pretended not to know.
Just like back then,
Crocodile's plan to usurp the country and Doflamingo's toy empire all treated common people like weeds, wantonly humiliating them.
As long as the truth wasn't revealed to the public, wasn't he still a Shichibukai?
Admiral Aokiji took a deep breath, his emotions complex, and said, "I don't believe your words."
During this time,
As the top combat power, the Navy Admiral spent most of his time in the game, unable to attend to the Pirate World.
He wanted to see with his own eyes the darkness that Fujitora spoke of, which was hidden by the Navy Alliance.
Whoosh…
The sled motorcycle [Silverlight Wings] hummed, and the ice mist flapped like wings, carrying Admiral Aokiji away in the blink of an eye.
Shanks watched him leave, not stopping him.
The Adventurers' Guild is a sanctuary of free will; it does not bind anyone. Once Admiral Aokiji sees clearly, he will make his own decision.
"Shanks!"
Luffy, having slightly recovered from his injuries, ran over excitedly, looking at Shanks whom he hadn't seen in a long time.
The young Luffy,
It was because of Shanks's guidance and the promise of the Straw Hat that he ultimately set sail with the goal of becoming the Pirate King.
The two were not just friends, but also a guide and a successor.
However,
Shanks looked at the excited Luffy, forced a smile, and said, "Luffy, I'm sorry, I'm no longer a pirate!"
He, who was the guide, had abandoned the identity of a pirate first.
This made him feel guilty towards Luffy.
"Shanks?"
Luffy scratched his head in confusion, looking at Shanks who was apologizing to him, and said, "Why apologize? Adventurers are also very powerful!"
Shanks was stunned.
Luffy reached out and pressed the Straw Hat Shanks had given him on his head, laughing loudly, "No matter what, I will become the Pirate King!"
For him,
The Pirate King was not a promise with anyone, nor was it a meritorious deed of circling the Red Line.
It was a dream of absolute freedom.
Before, it was a yearning for the sea, then an exploration of the [Arad Continent], and then an adventure in the Zombie World.
The Straw Hat Pirates could go anywhere, endless adventures; as long as they kept exploring, that was what Luffy wanted most.
"Luffy…"
Shanks was momentarily in a trance,
The figure in front of him blurred slightly, reflecting the appearance of Captain Roger. He smiled and said, "You are already the Pirate King, Luffy!"
The freest person in the world.
Isn't that right?
Luffy slightly pulled down his brim, his lips curving up, and excitedly said, "You too, Shanks, the super powerful Adventure King!"
"Is that so?"
Shanks also smiled, then his expression became serious and he said, "However, even if you flatter me, I won't give the Dark Gold-grade Ghost General to the Straw Hat Pirates!"
Adventure and growth are destined to be full of dangers,
He helped the Straw Hat Crew block Admiral Aokiji only because he didn't want the Straw Hat Crew to perish before they had grown up.
But he would never be like a doting nanny, taking care of them.
"The future will be very exciting!"
...
"Admiral Aokiji, act!"
The devastated land was covered in scorched burn marks and forbidden zones permeated by demonic energy.
The Seventh Flame Demon and Akainu merged, as if Akainu was clad in a layer of Flame Demon armor,
The elite Marines joined forces,
Even a powerhouse like Mihawk began to show signs of fatigue, and the swirling demonic energy became sluggish.
At this moment,
Akainu saw Admiral Aokiji riding a sled motorcycle, gliding through layers of shattered earth like a skier, and was immediately surprised.
Although Mihawk was tired,
He was, after all, a near top-tier player. If he wanted to escape, the Navy Alliance would have to pay a very high price to keep him.
Fortunately, Admiral Aokiji arrived in time.
Two Navy Admirals and thousands of elite Marines, such an overwhelming advantage, could easily kill Mihawk without much effort.
"It's Admiral Aokiji!"
"Mihawk, prepare to die!"
The elite Marines all showed excited expressions,
Watching the sled motorcycle get closer and closer.
"Oh no…"
Mihawk longed to fight strong opponents, but he wasn't crazy.
Although he was slightly stronger than Akainu, being surrounded by thousands of elite players meant he not only failed to defeat Akainu but also caused the battle to stalemate until now.
In his current state, if Admiral Aokiji were to act, he might not even be able to escape.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, Mihawk's brows furrowed slightly, feeling something was amiss.
The elite Marines also didn't react,
Admiral Aokiji seemed not to hear, as if he hadn't heard Akainu's voice, nor had he seen the stalemated battle.
Without making a move,
The sled motorcycle did not slow down at all, passing directly through the battlefield and heading towards Jiang Family Town in the distance.
"Admiral Aokiji?!"
Akainu was stunned, completely unable to believe that Admiral Aokiji would just leave.
"I'm not joking; this is not a time for laziness, Admiral Aokiji, what exactly do you want to do?"
The living Flame Demon armor continuously extended magma giant claws, tearing apart the sword shadows cut down by Mihawk,
Akainu inside was furious, his eyes bewildered, and he let out a roar.
Merging with the Flame Demon caused his voice to become coarse and deep, like a demon.
Admiral Aokiji didn't even turn his head,
He just wanted to return to Qin Family Town now, exit combat, and then see with his own eyes the truth Fujitora spoke of.
"Admiral Aokiji, disobeying military orders, do you want to be discharged?"
Hot magma flowed, corroding the earth.
Akainu was furious and anxious, not wanting to miss the perfect opportunity to kill Mihawk.
The second strongest combatant in the Adventurers' Guild besides Shanks,
Killing him would be equivalent to severing an arm of the Adventurers' Guild.
Akainu had not forgotten the scene of Shanks breaking through the Navy family's city walls; this was a battle that could redeem them and bring glory to the Navy Alliance.
"I'm sorry, I need to temporarily leave the Navy to clarify some things…"
Admiral Aokiji's voice, as if suppressing some emotion, spread across the battlefield.
Silence.
Followed by the shock of the elite Marines, and the playful curiosity of the pirate players and Otherworld players.
Temporarily leave the Navy?
The Navy Alliance is a military organization, not a temporary worker at a grocery store; how could someone just leave whenever they wanted…
Desertion!
This word appeared in everyone's minds.
The Navy Alliance's top combatant, Admiral Aokiji, was actually going to desert?
Everyone's first reaction was disbelief, thinking that a Illusion player was causing trouble, trying to shake morale.
After they reacted,
The Navy Alliance's surging combat morale, like a collapsing mountain, quickly extinguished.
"Demon Stomp Seven Stars!"
Taking advantage of the elite Marines' momentary stupor,
Mihawk erupted with monstrous demonic energy, a long, river-like sword shadow splitting open the elite Marines' encirclement.
He then fled into the distance.
"Mihawk… Admiral Aokiji!"
Watching Mihawk's fleeing back, Akainu's eyes widened, waves of scorching heat rolled up, and the living Flame Demon armor rose like a tornado, chasing after Mihawk.
"Akainu, without the elite Marines to stall, you are no match for me!"
Mihawk tilted his head slightly,
His black blade exploded, countless fragmented sword shadows instantly enveloped Akainu, grinding the Flame Demon armor into pieces at a visible speed.
Pfft.
Akainu still wouldn't give up, extending the Flame Demon armor's giant claw, but Mihawk dodged it,
A short blade's phantom, purely condensed from demonic energy, pierced through the magma giant claw, then shattered it and powerfully pierced Akainu's abdomen, pinning him firmly to the ground.
"Admiral Aokiji, traitor!"
Severely wounded, Akainu was unable to fight further, continuously punching the ground opposite him.
The ground, scorched by hot magma, was once again shattered and trembled with each punch.
The elite Marines looked at each other,
No one dared to easily go over, letting Akainu vent his inner rage.
Some Marines had already reported the battle news.
As expected, a major earthquake occurred at the Navy Alliance headquarters.
Admiral Aokiji deserted!
