The grand fortress is still majestic and upright, but today the sky is dark and the atmosphere is invisibly depressing.
"The City of Auroville has been attacked by pirates more than thirty times recently, and the most dangerous one was even caused by the enemy sneaking into the vicinity of the island. But even so, the Black Earl did not stop his crazy ideas and started building a lighthouse."
The person who spoke was Flying Squirrel. As one of the top veterans present, he was the only one qualified to replace Crane and report the situation to Akainu.
A depressing atmosphere enveloped the entire Marshal's office. Akainu rubbed his brows tiredly and waved for him to continue.
"yes!"
The flying squirrel turned the page of the document in his hand.
"in addition……"
Then it paused.
Akainu opened his eyes and looked at him: "What else?"
"In addition... there is news that Qing... Kuzan has joined the Black Earl, and the NEO Navy has been disbanded and merged into the City of Auroville."
hiss!
The sound of inhaling echoed in the office. The cigarette was held in the mouth, and the smile could no longer appear on his face.
"Has General Qing Pheasant finally surrendered to his opponent?"
This is a difficult topic to discuss.
The other party was once a navy admiral!
Now that he has joined the Black Earl's side, when the news spreads, it will be a huge blow to the soldiers' morale.
"This...bastard!!"
Sure enough, Akainu exploded.
Akainu smashed the conference table in front of him with a slap. Akainu, who was holding a cigar in his mouth and now had a beard on his lips, was so angry that his eyes were bloodshot.
"This is what you call justice? Kuzan!!"
"Submit to the pirates and live an ignoble existence?!"
In this regard, everyone remained silent.
It's better not to tease the angry Akainu.
However, some people were not afraid and stood up and said: "Marshal, I believe that Qing...Kuzan has his own reasons for doing this. He surrendered to the Black Earl, and it is absolutely impossible for him to be greedy for life and fear of death!"
Kizaru looked at Fujitora beside him with a look that said, "I respect you for being a man."
He also understands this truth, and presumably Akainu also understands it.
As the three great generals who lived through the Great Pirate Age, the three of them know each other very well.
But there is absolutely no necessary connection between the impact of what you do and what thoughts you have that others need to understand.
Moral kidnapping is not such a kidnapping method.
It is impossible for Fujitora not to understand this truth, but this is his way of benevolence and chivalry.
The hero of the navy, Fujitora smiles!
"No wonder Peach Rabbit did not inform you of the mission, because the marshal also knows that there is no way you would allow them to go into this troubled waters."
Recalling the time when He came to him with a secret order to recruit pacifists, Kizaru seemed to have some realization, and he looked at his nose and his heart.
Sure enough, in the next second, violent evil energy attacked them.
Akainu's eyes were so cold that he said in a deep voice: "So you think he did the right thing, right?"
"..."
Fujitora remained silent.
How is that possible!
After a while, Akainu snorted coldly, put away the magma and sat back on the chair.
"Innocent!"
"Lazy!"
The corner of Kizaru's mouth twitched.
Taking a deep breath, Akainu looked around the huge conference room and said, "I don't want to hear any more sophistry. Justice must be accompanied by sacrifice, not only for us, but also for others."
"If you don't understand this, you are ashamed of your status!"
This was mainly meant for Fujitora to hear, and he opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to refute.
Sitting back on the chair, Fujitora felt bitter in his heart: "Maybe I am really too naive."
"That's the end of the Qing Pheasant matter. Next time we meet, we will kill him without mercy!"
After finishing speaking, Akainu was stunned. He also unknowingly said the code name that now does not belong to the navy.
However, he quickly recovered and signaled the flying squirrel to continue.
"yes!"
Continuing to turn to the next page of documents, Flying Squirrel looked solemn: "The current data on the navy's deployable forces are as follows..."
Neither Lovett nor Aokiji were the focus of this meeting. They only occupied two shallow pages in the folder, and the remaining thick stack was the main purpose of Akainu calling them here.
Regarding the current strength of the navy, and...
Information about the Whitebeard Pirates!
…
Holy Land, Marie Joa.
In an ordinary hut, Xiong, who had lost his status as King Shichibukai, was sitting by the window, reading the Bible in the afternoon sunshine.
The blue book with the word "BLUE" printed on the cover has no secrets at all. It is just a fairly popular church in the sea. Members of the Blue Truth Sect can receive a copy for free.
But the bear regarded it as a treasure and never let it go for many years.
Bear, of course, is not a believer in Blue Truth.
He personally executed the pope of that church.
The other party actually claimed that he was the only spokesman for the true God in the universe who knew all the truth. Such arrogant remarks naturally angered the Celestial Dragons.
Send out the bear, a hawk dog, to kill the opponent.
Because of this, the Blue Truth Sect was hunted down by the navy for many years, its books were burned, and its followers were deported. It has disappeared since then, and it is unknown whether it went into hiding or was disbanded.
From this point of view, the Bible in Xiong's hand is really worth collecting.
Boom, boom, boom!
At this time, there was a rapid knock on the door, which made the door panel creak.
"Is it time?"
Xiong silently raised his head and was about to get up when suddenly the door was forced open.
Bang!!
"do not move!"
Click! Click!
A group of heavily armed elite soldiers poured into the crowded room, and the unique silver-white firearms in their hands were loaded one after another, aiming at the vital points all over his body.
World governments do not have the ability to manufacture large-scale weapons on their own, but they always have a lot of small-scale, high-tech weapons.
The bear knew what these were.
Handheld plasma cannon!
In addition, this group of soldiers also carried special explosives with a circle of blue light bulbs engraved in the middle on their waists and backs, so they were fully prepared.
Although the power is not very good, it is definitely the most threatening weapon to me who has almost completely transformed his body into mechanical components!
"Commander Kong, what does this mean?"
A soft voice that was completely inconsistent with his figure sounded calmly. Xiong looked at the strong old man who was gradually approaching outside the door and asked softly.
"According to your request, I have not been out in the past three days. Mr. Rhine's experiment still requires my cooperation."
"I'm afraid that's not something you can decide, Bear!"
A rich voice sounded, and "Cyborg", the commander-in-chief of the World Government's entire army, strode into the room. He glanced around the hut where it was clear that nothing could be hidden, and then his eyes returned to the bear.
"We have found out your identity, but we didn't expect that the traitor would be you...just let's catch you, you can't escape!"
The muscles on the bear's face jumped, then stretched.
"I see."
Nothing surprising.
From the moment his personal freedom was restricted, Xiong understood that the government was already suspicious of him.
Also on the suspect list is Rhine himself.
To this end, he dropped some decisive clues and shifted the focus of the government investigation to himself.
He won't be surprised when he is liquidated.
"do not move!!"
At this time, Kong shouted loudly and stopped Xiong from extending his palm.
The latter turned around silently, picked up the blue Bible on the table under the nervous gaze of the soldiers, and said, "This is a good book, Commander Kong."
"..."
There was no answer, Xiong said minding his own business.
"I have never been able to figure out why that man was so arrogant back then. He dared to call himself the messenger chosen by the gods and asked everyone to trust him and dedicate themselves to him."
"So, in order to figure out what he was thinking, I brought this book back."
"Then have you understood any truth?"
Of course Kong knew the origin of this book very clearly, because it was the order he conveyed to Xiong to dispose of it.
In response, the bear nodded.
"have!"
"Those ordinary people who were fooled saw doctrinal texts in books, but what I saw were all the efforts made by ambitious guys to benefit themselves."
"If people want hope, then give them hope. As long as they don't wake up, dreams can become reality."
Having said this, Xiong looked at Kong calmly.
"This is very similar to the justice you preach about, isn't it?"
Bang!!
After the words fell, the blue book in the bear's hand exploded into pieces. The meat ball fruit pushed the air, causing the huge bear to crash through the roof like a cannonball and shoot into the sky.
Kong, who was aware of this even before the bear said his last words, let out a sigh.
"Notify Wulaoxing that there is no need to continue the test. 'Tyrant' Xiong is a spy of the Revolutionary Army!"
Phew...boom!!
Looking at the black spot struck by a lightning arc on the horizon, at the corner of the holy land, the balcony on the second floor of the research institute.
"Have a good trip, comrade!"
"The revolution has not failed, your sacrifice will be valuable!"
Rhine pulled down the goggles on his forehead, turned around and walked towards the room.
On the experimental table, Enelu, who was tied up by sea-floor stone chains, looked horrified and looked at Lain who was approaching him, with resistance written all over his face.
The latter put on his gloves, nodded to the people in white coats beside him who had been preparing for a long time, and said: "The third vivisection experiment of people with thunder fruit ability begins!"
The pacifists on the front line were easily destroyed by the Black Earl. To defeat that monster, Rhine knew that he needed stronger power!
This coincided with Wulaoxing's idea, so the prisoners in Impel Down City were left open to selection to help him complete the experiment.
