If possible...
Kizaru really wanted to throw a bunch of question marks at Yakushi Kabuto.
Originally, when Kizaru couldn't break through the red barrier to leave, he thought about having a showdown with the mastermind who set up the red barrier to cover Yakushi Kabuto, this new generation tactician, so he could escape, because Marshal Sengoku's order was to protect Yakushi Kabuto.
But it turns out Yakushi Kabuto seemed to know the truth about the island's blockade...
It even sounded like this guy was actually involved in this!
This matter...
Left Kizaru utterly bewildered!
At that moment, Kizaru suddenly felt as if he had fallen into some incredible whirlpool. Why did Yakushi Kabuto seem so happy knowing he couldn't leave?
"Kabuto advisor..."
Kizaru slowly pushed his glasses, looking down at Yakushi Kabuto in front of him, squinting his eyes slightly: "If I heard correctly, it seems there's a secret on you that we don't know about!"
"Yes..."
Yakushi Kabuto nodded, raising his head to look at the tall Navy Admiral, still smiling: "It's really not easy... After all, to deal with Admiral Kizaru, we Akatsuki have put in quite a lot of manpower!"
Not to mention anything else...
The manpower responsible for setting up the Four Crimson Sun Array and Uchiha Flame Array on the periphery was enough to shock the ninjas of Wano Country!
Hoshigaki Kisame brought the First Hokage Senju Hashirama...
The Art Pirates transferred the Second Hokage Senju Tobirama...
Doflamingo brought the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen...
Kakuzu brought the Fourth Hokage Namikaze Minato...
And the strongest reanimation ninja Uchiha Madara!
This lineup could attack even the Marine Headquarters at Marinford, yet they were only on the periphery, setting up a sealing barrier to capture Admiral Kizaru!
In front of those setting up the barrier, Hoshigaki Kisame, Kakuzu, and Doflamingo were just add-ons and cheerleaders.
Besides...
Uehara Naraku had already arrived personally!
And by Uehara Naraku's side, there was even a newly joined member of the Akatsuki organization who was the world's number one Great Sword Master. This lineup might have no problem destroying any force in the world...
Yet all this...
Was just to force the surrender of Kizaru, the Glint-Glint Fruit user!
"Akatsuki..."
Kizaru's eyes narrowed increasingly tightly, scratching his forehead, unable to help speaking: "If I remember correctly, this organization is very secretive!
Our Marshal has also been keeping an eye on this organization. The World Government has always been secretly searching for members of Akatsuki. I really did not expect, our Navy's new-generation tactician is actually a member of Akatsuki infiltrating the Navy!
Really, a frightening spy..."
"Indeed, I didn't expect this either!"
Yakushi Kabuto spread his hands, responding with a light laugh: "After all, the person the World Government and Navy have been looking for in the Akatsuki organization has always been me."
Speaking of such things...
Even Yakushi Kabuto couldn't help but chuckle a bit.
Since becoming a Naval Headquarters advisor, all intelligence units of the Navy and World Government had been under his jurisdiction.
Navy Admiral Sengoku realized that any intelligence analyzed by Yakushi Kabuto could yield more detailed information.
The operation of the Navy and World Government was a helpless situation, because Yakushi Kabuto could maximize the use of intelligence to achieve the Navy's strategic objectives.
"..."
Kizaru's expression was also quite subtle.
Even though Kizaru was knowledgeable and experienced, he couldn't help wanting to ask the Navy Admiral at Marinford what exactly was going on in his mind...
Sengoku, this tactician from the last era, seemed to be manipulated by the new-generation tactician Yakushi Kabuto!
"Our Marshal is really getting old..."
Kizaru couldn't help but show a faint, ambiguous bitter smile at the corner of his mouth, seeming somewhat self-deprecating, and perhaps also wanting to ease his mood a bit.
"That's perfectly normal indeed."
Yakushi Kabuto shook his head, calmly explaining: "Because I've observed the entire Navy. The Navy has the Three Great Admirals of Headquarters, and doesn't need a stronger Navy Admiral, it needs a new tactician, so I've always played that role..."
"..."
After pondering for a moment, Kizaru couldn't help but nod: "I didn't expect that the Navy's problem would become a loophole for an enemy to infiltrate..."
"So...what about these people?"
Kizaru's gaze slowly fell on the nearby Seven Warlords of the Sea, who hadn't shown much surprise all along...
These guys...
Either they knew or they were indifferent to it all.
"It seems..."
Kizaru's eyes finally paused on Doflamingo, unable to help but speak: "The Seven Warlords of the Sea may have quite an intimate relationship with Akatsuki too!"
"They are my colleagues."
Yakushi Kabuto did not hide it, looking at a few people beside him, he spoke with a light laugh: "Now... How should I put it... Besides Admiral Kizaru, everyone present is a member of Akatsuki."
"..."
Even though he had guessed earlier, getting the exact information from Yakushi Kabuto still left Kizaru a bit speechless.
So...
In the past few days, the entire ship's strong individuals...
Except for him, the admiral, everyone else was in league?
Kizaru sighed, looking at a few of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, saying in a low voice: "Three of the Seven Warlords of the Sea are actually Akatsuki members? Truly frightening enemies... Akatsuki's influence is indeed enormous!"
