Kaido, the father-in-law, used monster cells to create the strongest Beast.

"Then let them fight it out. Is there any time to delay now?"

"Steelbow Kong, give the order: whoever becomes marshal, their first task is to conduct a global recruitment drive!"

"Faced with the aggressive stance of the Five Emperors Luo Xing and the Beast Pirates, we must increase our combat strength!"

"Furthermore, you must also conduct a general mobilization of the entire army, preparing for a full-scale war with the Beast Legion at any time!"

214. The Battle of the Marine Admirals: Aokiji vs. Akainu! Their respective justices!

The Beast Pirates' current territory, besides their headquarters and beyond,

The openly mentioned locations include Dressrosa, Punk Hazard, the Sabaody Archipelago, and the Germa Kingdom in the North Sea.

What is not yet known to outsiders are Alabasta and the surrounding villages where Nami from the East Sea lives.

During the Marineford War,

Kaido and Big Mom formed an alliance and occupied Whitebeard's territory in the New World, doubling their territory once again.

nowadays.

Luo Xing launched another war in the North Blue, intending to use Germa's clone army to separate the North Blue from the World Government's jurisdiction.

Once successful, it would mean that the foundation of the world government, which has ruled the seas for eight hundred years, has been completely shaken!

After all,

This ocean is composed of four major sea areas: east, west, south, and north, as well as the Grand Line and the Red Earth.

The fall of the North Sea is equivalent to the World Government's territory shrinking by a quarter.

In addition, the New World, the latter half of the Grand Line, is basically under the control of the Beasts Pirates, except for a few forces such as the Red-Haired Pirates.

The Beast Pirates' overall power and territory are enough to rival the World Government!

Even if the Five Elders were completely clueless, they could still see this clearly.

The threat posed by the Beast Pirates right now is even greater than that of Rocks and the Pirate King Roger back in the day!

The World Government can no longer hold back any more of its 137 forces; it must amass more troops and combat power and be ready at any moment to wage a true, massive war against the Beast Pirates that will affect the entire world!

This is also Lord Im's order and consideration!

therefore.

The Five Elders directly instructed Kong to conduct a global mobilization, that is, to summon the World Government's forces scattered around the world.

Once these troops are gathered together, they will amount to at least hundreds of thousands or even millions of soldiers!

Even with such a large army, the Five Elders still felt it wasn't enough.

They also demanded that the Navy conduct a global recruitment drive to increase its combat power in order to counter the growing threat posed by the Beast Pirates.

"Let Akainu and Aokiji settle their differences quickly; the Navy doesn't have time to wait for them!"

These were the Five Elders' original words, and they quickly reached the ears of Akainu and Aokiji.

The two looked at each other and, as if on cue, arrived at a deserted island far from Marineford.

In the original work,

The great battle between Akainu and Aokiji took place on Punk Hazard and permanently altered the climate of Punk Hazard, turning it into an island of ice and fire.

But now that Punk Hazard is Beasts' territory, guarded by Jhin the Wildfire, they naturally can no longer choose that place.

desert island.

Akainu's injuries sustained at Marineford have healed (bjdh), but he still has several permanent scars on his face and neck, all inflicted by Whitebeard, the strongest man in the world.

In contrast,

The unharmed Aokiji and Kizaru were basically just slacking off at the top.

His hard work and achievements are far inferior to those of Akainu.

but,

Even with such great merit and hard work, Sengoku still wanted Aokiji to succeed him as Fleet Admiral. How could Akainu not feel angry and dissatisfied?

This is so unfair!

Fortunately, there are also voices within the Navy supporting Akainu.

In particular, the Five Elders and other high-ranking officials favored Akainu, giving him the opportunity to compete fairly with Aokiji for the position of Fleet Admiral.

Akainu stared at Aokiji opposite him and said coldly:

"Kuzan, with your lazy nature, you are simply not suited to be a marshal!"

Aokiji retorted without hesitation:

"Sakazuki, even if I really lack the motivation, the Navy cannot be handed over to you under any circumstances!"

"Your sense of justice is too extreme! Do you remember that civilian ship you bombarded in O'Hara?!"

A mocking smile appeared on Akainu's lips as he laughed:

"I didn't expect you to still remember something from so long ago."

Then, the smile gradually turned cold, so cold that it chilled one to the bone.

"I believe I did nothing wrong in that matter!"

"What if there are scholars hidden on that civilian ship?"

"For the sake of world safety, it's better to kill a hundred innocent people than to let one guilty person go free!"

Aokiji's face darkened.

Sakazuki remained as extreme and radical as ever, completely incompatible with his ideology.

Aokiji took a deep breath and said:

"In that case, there's no need for further words. Let's settle this with our strength!"

"Exactly what I want!"

Akainu roared and attacked first:

"Big fire-breathing!"

A giant lava fist was unleashed.

The blue pheasant is fearless.

He also unleashed a massive, icy punch, going toe-to-toe with Akainu.

This battle between ice and magma is a clash of titans, with each element restraining the other, making it difficult to determine a winner.

But neither of them was willing to back down, and both chose to fight to the death.

Although they were not enemies, but rather colleagues who had worked together for many years,

But for the sake of their respective justice, they must be determined to kill each other!

This unprecedented, earth-shattering battle between naval admirals lasted for ten days and ten nights.

The ultimate victor was Sakazuki Akainu.

Aokiji lay on the ground, covered in blood, one of his legs burned away by lava.

Akainu was panting heavily, with a huge wound on his upper body, but he was still standing.

"I won, Kuzan..."

Akainu's voice was hoarse as he clenched his fist, magma gushing out, as if he wanted to end Aokiji's life.

However, looking at his former comrades who were powerless to resist, even the heartless Akainu felt a pang of pity.

Akainu ultimately gave up on killing Aokiji. He turned and walked towards Marineford, saying without looking back:

"Just watch, Kuzan. I'll make you understand that only under my leadership will the Navy be on the right track!"

"Your insistence on a lazy, appeasement-based justice is utterly useless in this increasingly rampant age of piracy!"

"Kuzan, let me give you one last piece of advice: if you ever fall into depravity again and I happen to see you, I will not show you any mercy!"

Akainu left.

He will, as the new admiral, create a new navy unlike any before.

As for Aokiji, the loser, he lay on the ground, unable to recover for a long time.

I don't know how much time has passed.

Aokiji made a leg out of ice and stood up.

He looked in the direction of Marineford and shook his head.

He could never go back to the Navy.

So where should he go next?

Aokiji couldn't help but recall what the mysterious Five Emperors Luo Xing had said to him a dozen days ago.

He seemed to have anticipated that he would lose to Akainu, and thus invited him to join the Beasts Pirates.

Aokiji initially thought the invitation was absurd.
