Chapter 481: Are you planning to play Infernal Affairs?
With the false life given by the "Water Elf Ring", Wood cannot control Whitebeard's thoughts, but there is still no problem in influencing his actions.
Even if Whitebeard really escapes his control, Wood can completely unlock the magic of the "Water Elf Ring" and make Whitebeard die again, without having to fight with him to the death.
The reason why such a situation occurred was naturally caused by Wood's deliberate intention from the beginning.
In other words, this was a drama that Wood and Whitebeard had negotiated and performed together from the beginning.
What Big Mom said before was actually not useless. At least Wood was alerted by it.
That's right, the world government doesn't dare to touch him now, but it's just because the forces on the sea are complicated and check and balance each other.
Once the huge power in the sea is gone, the world government cannot leave a big fat guy like him indifferent.
At that time, Wood has only two choices, either to fight to the death with the World Government who does not know its background, or to completely cooperate with the revolutionary army and join forces to defeat the World Government.
No... maybe without the checks and balances of the pirate forces, the Revolutionary Army might take the first step to attack him. After all, the Revolutionary Army now needs powerful weapons and huge wealth to fight against the World Government more than the World Government.
And these two things happened to be owned by Wood!
Don't say that Wood is now one of the cadres of the Revolutionary Army and has a good relationship with the Revolutionary Army.
Only children would believe such things. In the adult world, especially the world of those in power, there are no permanent enemies and friends, only interests and gains and losses.
As long as it is beneficial to future development, these people will not hesitate to take action. This is what Wood has learned in other worlds besides strength.
Especially in the world of "Red Killer", Wood saw what the true darkness of human nature is, and the power structure of that world is also somewhat similar to the pirate world.
Wood is no longer the stupid young man he was back then. He doesn't want to be someone else's pawn, let alone pin his hopes on someone. This is simply unrealistic.
The promise of the Warring States Marshal is useless. He is just a naval marshal. He is like a grandson in front of the Five Old Stars. It is naturally impossible for Wood to follow the other party's plan and kill Kaido and Big Mom who are obstructing the World Government.
.
If three of the Four Emperors are gone, then the World Government should take action against itself next.
However, it is not advisable to directly jump in front of Marshal Warring States and others. This will also destroy Wood's current neutrality advantage.
So Wood arranged a scene like "Whitebeard goes berserk" and hoped that Whitebeard would cooperate with his actions.
The price Wood paid for this was similar to the price Whitebeard paid to give red-haired Shanks face, which was to take more care of the remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates and, if possible, kill Akainu and Blackbeard Teach.
.
In order to prevent Sengoku from suspecting that he was betraying the enemy, he sided with the navy. Then because Kaido and Big Mom's side lacked strength and were destroyed, Wood arranged the "Whitebeard Rampage" to even out the fighting power of both sides.
Because he knew the plot, the appearance of red-haired Shanks was also within Wood's expectation. The two sides whose fighting power was evened stopped fighting because of Shanks' interference. All of this was within Wood's calculations.
.
Until the moment of Whitebeard's final death, he looked at Wood with extremely horrifying eyes and asked Wood if he was also a member of the "D family".
Before, he felt that the forbearing Blackbeard was already the most dangerous person, but now it looks like Blackbeard is nothing compared to the Wood in front of him!
Blackbeard thought he had plotted against the Whitebeard Pirates and the Navy Headquarters, but he didn't expect that his plan was all within Wood's expectation, and his success fell short because of it.
What is really scary is that the man in front of me, whether he is a naval marshal, an admiral, or the four emperors, or even Blackbeard, who thinks he is smart, all people and things seem to be in the other person's calculations, and in the end, the other person will
Ended with the desired result.
Although Whitebeard knew all this, the moment the other party came into contact with his ability, his soul had returned to his homeland, and no one else in the world knew the truth of the matter.
A terrifying man who manipulated the Four Emperors, the Navy, the World Government, the Revolutionary Army, and Blackbeard.
Strategy, strength, foresight and ambition all stand at the top. If it is still the so-called "D family", Whitebeard can basically be sure that Wood is what Roger said, the person who will change the future!
Wood didn't know that he had become such an awesome figure in the eyes of the dying Whitebeard.
But what I have to say is that Wood did spend a lot of thought on this layout and operation.
Nowadays, among the "Four Emperors", except for Shanks, who was kind to him, all others have been weakened a lot.
The Navy Headquarters has also been weakened a lot, and Marshal Sengoku's suspicion of him has been completely lifted. After all, he worked so hard in the final battle.
The navy and pirates have been weakened, which for a neutral camp like Wood has become stronger in disguise.
After this battle, the power structure on the sea also changed a lot. Although there was no final winner in the final battle, neither the navy nor the pirates were completely destroyed.
However, the people who died in the "War on Top" this time were not ordinary guys.
One of the Four Emperors, Whitebeard, known as "The Strongest Man in the World", died, and the bloodline left by the Pirate King, Fire Fist Ace, also died.
The tyrant Bartholomew Big Bear and the tyrant Bartholomew Big Bear of the Shichibukai's Moonlight Moria are also dead.
Smoothie and Cracker, the "Three Dessert Commanders" from the Big Mom Pirates, are also dead, as well as "Fire" and "Drought" Jack from the Kaido Pirates.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Any one of these dead guys above, even if placed in the second half of the Grand Line, is definitely a big shot, but here
They all died in the war.
Of course, these people were far more than just those who died in this war. Countless lieutenant-level generals died in the navy this time, and even general-level generals died in more than single digits.
In addition to the death of a large number of bounty pirates in the Whitebeard Pirates, even the captains of many of its pirate groups also died here.
Normally, a few of these people would be the headlines in the newspapers, but because the people involved in the war this time were so heavyweight, their dead were not even qualified to have their names appear in the newspapers.
After the final battle, the Big Mom Pirates and Kaido Pirates chose to stay dormant for the time being. Although Kaido and Big Mom suffered some injuries, and two of their three generals, Star and Three Disasters, each died,
The overall strength of the pirate group was not greatly affected.
As long as Kaido and Big Mom are still alive as captains, their status as the "Four Emperors" will be unshakable for the time being.
Of course, there are also many desperate pirates who think that the Beasts Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates are currently at their weakest.
Many guys who thought they had extraordinary strength chose to challenge the Beasts Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates at this time, which also led to another wave of turmoil in the sea.
On the Navy's side, because Marinefando was killed, the Navy Headquarters has now moved the new location of the headquarters to the second half of the Grand Line, the entrance to the New World, which is the location of the Navy's original G-1 branch.
Although the navy suffered heavy losses this time, the original Warring States Marshal, relying on the strategy of "Wise General", secretly reached an agreement with the ancient weapon Wood in advance and minimized the losses this time.
Facing the attacks of the three Yonko, the Navy Headquarters was able to survive and kill important figures such as Fire Fist Ace and Whitebeard. The Warring States Period was considered a great achievement.
After the merits and demerits were balanced, the Warring States Period could still continue to serve as the "Marshal of the Navy", but the Warring States Period resigned from the position of the Navy Marshal on the grounds that a man with a broken arm held the position of the Navy Marshal, which really harmed the image of the Navy.
He became the navy's chief inspector, the chief inspector of the headquarters.
This is a position with high status but little real power.
After the Warring States Period abdicated, Aokiji and Akainu fought over the position of navy marshal. The battle lasted for ten days on an island, and Akainu finally won and became navy marshal. Aokiji lost and left the navy.
It ends as a result.
I looked at the report about the "Battle of Punk Hassad" in my hand, and then took a look at the man in front of me wearing a white V-neck long sleeve, black trousers, and black boots.
Wearing a dark green coat, carrying a brown backpack behind him, and wearing round sunglasses, Wood looked at Aoji with half-squinted eyes and asked, "So Admiral Aoki just decided to come here after defecting from the navy."
To me?"
As a time traveler, Wood had long known that Aokiji would leave the navy, but that the other party would come to join him was something that Wood did not expect at all.
"Can you please stop calling me General Aokiji? Now that I have left the navy, you can call me Kuzan."
"Then Mr. Kuzan, can I ask you a question? There are so many forces on the sea, and with your strength, no matter which force you go to, the other party will welcome you. Why did you choose me?
Also, do you, former Navy Marshal Sengoku and Vice Admiral Garp, know about the fact that you left the Navy Headquarters and chose to join me?"
Wood had always been skeptical that Qing Pheasant would betray the Navy.
The justice carried out by Aokiji in the past has always been "lazy justice". Even for the position of navy marshal, those who are familiar with him know that the other party has little motivation.
And this time, because of his position as Navy Marshal, Aokiji fought with Akainu first, and then left the Navy so hastily?
It doesn't matter what other people think, but in Wood's opinion, if there is nothing fishy about it, he will definitely not believe it.
Aokiji has been in the navy for so many years, and it was never seen how dedicated he was to the position of "Marshal" before. But this time he left the navy because he lost the election and decided to become a pirate?
And what kind of existence is Akainu? As long as it is to kill pirates, he will not hesitate to harm some innocent people.
Such a person would miss his old relationship, let Aokiko go, and watch him become the pirate he hates most? Moreover, once Aokiji becomes a pirate, he will still be an extremely difficult and powerful pirate.
To sum up, compared to Aokiji leaving the Navy because he was unsuccessful in the competition for the position of "Marine Admiral", Wood is more willing to believe that this is a bitter trick jointly performed by Aokiji and Akainu, and its purpose is to make Aokiji
Break into the great forces on the sea.
Otherwise, it really doesn't make sense. Aokiji is a good naval admiral, but it's really unreasonable to stop working if he says he won't do it.
And judging from the fact that Aokiji would choose to join his own force, Wood also speculated that Sengoku and Garp must not have known about this matter. It was probably a plan devised by the new navy marshals Akainu and Aokiji themselves.
Referring to myself, Pirate Supernova Drake, and Corazon in the past, the Navy seems to like to engage in undercover situations. This was the case in the Warring States Period. Now that the newly appointed Akainu wants to do something, it seems to be nothing.
strange things.
As for why Wood felt that Sengoku and Garp were unaware of this matter?
Isn't this nonsense? He was an undercover agent arranged by Sengoku, and when he went to war, Wood also fully proved that his "loyalty" was not a problem. Sengoku couldn't let Aoki come over as an undercover agent in a second.
I am an undercover agent of the Navy, and now the Navy has hired a former admiral to work as an undercover agent. What the hell is this? An undercover agent? It’s such a hot-blooded series, it’s like Infernal Affairs, right?
"Marshal Sengoku... Mr. Sengoku and Mr. Garp probably don't know about my leaving the Navy at the moment, but it's only a matter of time before they find out.
But now that I have left the navy, even if they know about it, they have nothing to do with me.
As for why I chose you, on the one hand it’s because of your power, and on the other hand it’s because you are different from other pirates.
As a former admiral of the navy, I don't want to join the ranks of other pirates. And you were also from the navy before. Judging from the current observation, your power seems to only sell weapons to all over the world, and you have not actively harmed others.
This is why I chose you."
What Aokiji said was half true and half false. Although Aokiji left the navy, he still adhered to the justice in his heart. If he was asked to harm ordinary innocent people, he would definitely not be able to do it.
And if you add this to the other big pirate forces on the sea, it will be difficult not to do something against your will.
As for saying that they are interested in Wood's power, this is not completely nonsense. It is indeed because of Wood's huge power that Aokiji decided to join.
Because after the "War on the Top", both Akainu and Aokiji felt that Wood's existence was too dangerous.
Those "four emperors" put their ambitions on the bright side. Although they are huge in power, they can at least take precautions, but Wood's existence is hard to guard against!
