Who made him the Pirate King?.

Chapter 39 What is the Admiral of the Navy?! (Please read! Please vote!)
Bru——Bru——

The Grand Route, somewhere in the sea.

A handsome curly-haired boy riding a bicycle on the sea suddenly received a Den Den Mushi call.

Aokiji slowly took the Den Den Mushi out of his arms and slowly placed it on the handlebars of the bicycle.

During this time, the ringing of the Den Den Mushi never stopped.

Aokiji curled his lips and then answered the phone.

"Moshi——"

Aokiji was about to speak.

A very polite and warm friendly greeting came from the other end of the Den Den Mushi.

"Aokiji you bastard!!!"

"Ah la la..."

Aokiji picked his ears and answered lazily.

"So it's Marshal Zhan Guo, what's the matter?"

"Of course something big is happening!"

The angry expression of Sengoku was vividly portrayed by Den Den Mushi.

"You bastard! Why did you recommend Vongola Storm to join the Blade Force?"

"Vongola Storm?"

Aokiji raised his eyebrows.

“He was a very interesting marine, and it was indeed me who invited him to join the Blade Force.

"What's up with him?"

"Vongola Storm has decimated Impel Down!"

"Actually, it was Mr. Zephyr who recommended him to the Blade Force!"

Aokiji changed his tone very quickly.

"I'm not familiar with Vongola Storm at all, and we've only met a few times.

"If you have any questions, Marshal, you can go directly to Mr. Zefa."

"You bastard! Don't try to shirk responsibility!"

Sengoku said angrily.

"You are the top leader of the Blade Force!

"Now that the members of the Sharp Blade Force have caused a big mess, don't even think about walking away and doing nothing!"

"Ah la la, this kind of thing sounds very troublesome..."

Aokiji scratched his messy afro.

"What on earth did Storm do?

"'Destroy the Sky and Advance the City' or something like that, isn't that a bit too exaggerated?"

"That's really an exaggeration on my part."

Zhan Guo's tone finally softened.

"However, although Vongola Storm did not destroy Impel Down, he almost turned it upside down!
"He executed more than 90 percent of the prisoners in Infinite Hell."

"...He is truly a very capable marine."

Aokiji grunted for a long time before finally uttering a response.

"Sakaski will definitely be very happy when he hears this news."

"Now is not the time to tell a bad joke!"

Sengoku scolded coldly.

"You still think Vongola Storm is a marine? He has caused irreparable damage to Impel Down!"

"Marshal Zhan Guo, I have a question."

Aokiji said seriously.

"Apart from the prisoners held in the city of Impel, has Vongola Storm harmed the lives of other innocent people?"

As soon as this question was asked, the Warring States side fell silent.

"Regarding this issue, I have just confirmed the news with Impel Down."

Zhan Guo paused, then continued.

"Except for the criminals, Vongola Storm did not kill any of Impel Down's prison staff."

"Isn't this enough?"

Aokiji breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

“It is inevitable that the navy will kill pirates.

"Although what Storm did this time was a little too much...

"But if the Admiral wants to convict a marine for 'killing too many pirates'.

"I think you should send that murderous bastard Sakaski to Impel Down first!"

Sengoku was not fooled by Aokiji's trick of changing the concept.

"Killing pirates in battle and slaughtering convicted prisoners in prison."

Sengoku asked pointedly.

"Are these two the same thing?"

"Those scum imprisoned in the Infinite Hell should have been sentenced to death!"

Aokiji responded in a resounding voice.

"What I don't understand is why the government deliberately wants to keep their lives!"

In the navy camp.

There are indeed group divisions such as "hawks", "doves", "centrists", etc.

Generally speaking.

Aokiji belongs to the category of "doves".

But even among the dovish navy, not all of them are as kind-hearted as Zefa.

Black-armed Zefa, the "no-kill" general.

He defeated countless pirates in his life, but never killed any of his enemies.

Aokiji admires Mr. Zephyr very much.

But he doesn't think "killing pirates" is a wrong thing.

There is some really irredeemable garbage in the ocean.

The criminals imprisoned in the infinite hell can be described as "garbage among garbage".

Aokiji felt that what Storm did was indeed a bit too much.

But, it's not a big problem.

Honestly.

If the general commanding the Blade Force was not Aokiji, but Akainu.

Maybe that guy will even praise Storm for what he did!

"Kuzan, you..."

Sengoku sighed.

“Sometimes, I really can’t tell.

"Are you still holding on to 'Burning Justice'?

"Or has it completely transformed into 'lazy justice'?"

"Ah la la..."

Aokiji chuckled and did not answer the question directly.

“It is very difficult for people to fully understand themselves.”

"Let's not talk about this!" Zhan Guo also chose to skip this topic.

He was also a navy officer who had undergone a change of mind.

Only the individual knows the taste of it.

Sengoku continued.

"If nothing unexpected happens, Vongola Storm will definitely be put on the bounty list!"

"Reward? Why?"

Aokiji asked doubtfully.

“Doesn’t Impel Down have Magellan, and that, um, Shiryu?
"Storm should have been suppressed by Magellan, right? The [Poison-Poison Fruit] is still very powerful."

Before, Zhan Guo made the matter sound so serious.

Aokiji thought that Storm had died before he could accomplish his mission.

Before he went undercover as a pirate, this "sharp blade" had already been imprisoned in Impel Down...

Aokiji was even mentally prepared to go into the city to rescue people.

But now it seems that he seemed to have misunderstood?
"You underestimated Vongola Storm, and I underestimated him too!"

Zhan Guo said in an inexplicably complicated tone.

"According to Magellan's testimony, Vongola Storm has developed the [Clay Fruit] to the awakening level!
"After nearly destroying the entire Infinite Hell, Vongola Storm transformed into a white dragon and flew away directly from Impel Down!"

"This... is a joke, right?"

Aokiji widened his eyes in shock and asked in disbelief.

"How long has Storm got the Clay Fruit? He's already awakened? And he can fly?"

"That's the situation. Maybe Storm...he really is a genius."

Sengoku explained.

"I just went to the General Staff and discussed the bounty on Vongola Storm with A-He.

“Based on what he has done and his level of strength, the initial bounty on this guy might be incredibly high!
"Anyway, as a 'pirate', Vongola Storm is - wait.

"There's a phone call..."

Zhan Guo's voice quickly became weaker.

But with Aokiji's hearing ability, he could still hear the conversation on the other end of the Den Den Mushi.

'What do you mean by withholding information?'

"Such a major incident happened in Impel Down! The government and the navy are keeping it a secret?!"

'Affecting the government's credit...what a joke!'

'I am the Admiral of the Navy!'

Aokiji heard Sengoku's angry roar.

But what shocked him even more were several other fainter and older voices.

"What the hell is a Admiral!?"

"Your navy is just the government's external face!"

"The navy doesn't need to deal with the infinite hell in Impel Down!"

Immediately afterwards, the Den Den Mushi was hung up.

Aokiji waited silently for a while.

Zhan Guo's tired voice sounded again.

"I'm sorry, Kuzan, I made you laugh... Let's just pretend that nothing happened with Vongola Storm!"

Aokiji heard that Sengoku wanted to hang up, so he suddenly asked.

"Marshal Zhan Guo, the person who just spoke to you was the Five Elders, right?"

"You heard it."

Zhan Guo did not hide anything and answered directly.

“It is indeed the Five Elders, and they requested that the matter of the Infinite Hell be concealed.

"So, the bounty on Vongola Storm will be cancelled..."

Aokiji didn't care about the bounty or not, he asked directly.

"What exactly is our navy in the eyes of the government?"

"What is that? Haha."

Zhan Guo smiled.

"Kuzan, when you become a marshal in the future, you can ask the Five Elders about this question..."

pat-

The Den Den Mushi on Sengoku's end hung up.

Aokiji stood alone in the middle of the vast ocean, feeling an inexplicable feeling in his heart.

After a long time.

Aokiji dialed the number again.

"Moshimoshi, this is Kuzan."

"Admiral Kuzan! I haven't heard from you in a long time. I thought you had left the navy too!"

"Don't be ridiculous, Storm."

Aokiji held the Den Den Mushi and said very seriously.

“I just got the news from Marshal Zhan Guo.

"You've done something really remarkable!"

"I did this all according to your wishes."

Storm's aggrieved voice came out from the Den Den Mushi.

"Didn't you ask me to be a pirate?"

Is this how you become a pirate?!

Aokiji rolled his eyes.

Storm complained mercilessly.

"Hey, hey, hey! Den Den Mushi can imitate their owner's expressions. I saw your rolling eyes!"

"Ah la la..."

Aokiji laughed and got to the point.

"Do you still want to continue being a pirate?"

"Of course! I am a sharp blade in the darkness! I will remember my mission and never forget my original intention!"

Storm answered readily.

"I want to become a great pirate! Go deep into the New World! Get inside the Four Emperors!"

Aokiji asked.

"So you plan to enter the new world now?"

"Of course not!"

Storm denied.

"To fight against the Four Emperors' pirate groups by myself? I can't do that now.

"If you want to successfully break into the Four Emperors, you must find some suitable helpers!"
