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

The pirates were filled with admiration and worship.

Bucky laughed heartily, his figure growing even taller and more imposing.

In his heart, however, he was chuckling wickedly.

He did indeed fight Blackbeard for three days and three nights, but they were just eight or nine-year-old kids back then.

and,

Buggy teamed up with Shanks to fight Blackbeard.

As for Whitebeard asking Buggy to spare Blackbeard, that was just something Buggy made up on the spot.

Whitebeard was terrifying back then; he was evenly matched with Captain Roger.

How could I possibly beg him, Bucky?

But none of the people present had experienced that incident.

Coupled with Bucky's aura of greatness, everyone believed Bucky's lies without reservation.

Only MR3 saw through Bucky's lie.

MR3's heart trembled, and he turned around, tears streaming down his face.

"That bastard Buggy is talking nonsense! He's really planning to become a Shichibukai and dominate the first half of the Grand Line!"

"Oh no, oh no, now I can't even slip away!"

The Buggy Pirates are at the height of their power, and their influence is growing ever stronger.

Along with the Blackbeard Pirates, they are considered the two newly emerging powerhouses of the Grand Line.

Mr. 3 Gal Dino, as the second-in-command of the Buggy Pirates,

His reputation on the high seas is now several times greater than that of Crocodile, the former boss who almost killed him!

And MR3, who will become the Emperor's Vice-President in the future.

Even if Old Sha were to be resurrected, upon seeing him, he would still have to respectfully address him as Third Brother!

……

……

While Buggy was accepting the title of Shichibukai and feeling smug.

Fujitora returned empty-handed from the North Sea.

He reported Aokiji's situation to Akainu over the phone.

As expected, Akainu flew into a rage.

"That Kuzan guy, he actually got involved with the Beasts Pirates, he's really fallen!"

"If I had known this would happen, I should have killed him that day!"

After breaking one of Aokiji's legs,

Even the ruthless Akainu felt a pang of pity when faced with a long-time comrade who was powerless to resist.

Before he left, he told Aokiji not to fall into depravity.

Otherwise, when we meet again...

He will show no mercy this time.

However, Aokiji ignored the advice and went against justice, getting involved with pirates, especially the most despicable Beast Pirates.

"Well, Sakazuki, you don't need to blame yourself too much."

The newly built marshal's office is much larger than the original one.

Veteran Admiral Kizaru Borsalino was sitting with his legs crossed, trimming his nails.

He said slowly:

"Kuzan has never been a staunch enforcer of justice... It's not too surprising that he chose the Beasts Pirates."

Akainu heard this.

He glanced at Kizaru silently.

Aokiji is not a staunch enforcer of justice. It sounds so awkward coming from you.

Do you yourself think you're a staunch executor of justice?!

Don't think I've forgotten.

During the Marineford War, you and Aokiji were both slacking off, leaving me to fight the Whitebeard Pirates to the death all by myself!

However, the hot-tempered Akainu did not actually utter these words of rebuke.

After all, Kizaru's seniority was similar to his; both had been Zephyr's disciples and had served as admirals, so he had to consider appearances.

Given Kizaru's slippery personality, Akainu, like Sengoku, was essentially helpless.

Even when it comes to assigning missions, he has to discuss it with Kizaru.

Akainu took a deep breath and suppressed his emotions.

Then he said to Fujitora on the other end of the Den Den Mushi:

"Fujitora, I know about what happened with Aokiji."

"But how do you explain kneeling down and apologizing to the people?"

"What about the dignity of our navy if you do this!"

Fujitora did not report it.

However, Akainu already knew about Fujitora kneeling from the other marines.

He was furious.

How could a naval admiral do something so humiliating?

Even if Fujitora himself doesn't care, Akainu still has to save face!

Fujitora replied: 3.7

"The disaster that country suffered was partly the responsibility of our navy. It is not wrong for me to apologize."

Akainu could no longer contain his rage and roared:

"Fujitora, as a Marine Admiral, you acted without reporting to headquarters first, causing great damage to the Navy's reputation and making it lose face!"

Fujitora was also truly enraged and retorted without any hesitation:

"If you care so much about saving face, then just keep it hidden in your pocket and don't take it out!"

"A reputation that is lost by admitting mistakes is no different from one that never existed in the first place!"

"It's not just that country, but also the policy of hiring pirates as Shichibukai and allowing them to wreak havoc on the people. This is a wicked policy that is a scourge on the world!"

"The moment I joined the Navy and accepted the position of Admiral, my purpose was to uphold justice for the people and abolish the Seven Warlords system!"

237. Vergo enters Mary Geoise to investigate, Whitebeard's hometown.

Fujitora angrily confronts Akainu.

Akainu flew into a rage.

But he couldn't find a reason to refute it.

Because what Fujitora said is an undeniable truth.

finally.

Akainu could only reprimand Fujitora before angrily hanging up the phone.

Although Fujitora is a new recruit who has just joined the Navy, he holds the high rank of Admiral.

They have a great deal of autonomy.

Even though Akainu is the Fleet Admiral, he doesn't have the authority to punish Fujitora too severely.

Also.

The current situation doesn't allow Akainu to really do anything to Fujitora.

otherwise,

What if Fujitora, like Aokiji, is forced to leave the Marines or even join the Beasts Pirates?

That was like a bolt from the blue for the navy.

thus.

Akainu could only verbally reprimand Fujitora and could not impose any real punishment.

New naval headquarters.

Akainu, in the Marshal's office, slammed down the Den Den Mushi.

Admiral Kizaru, who had been manicuring his nails, stood up, yawned, and said:

"It's time to get off work, Sakazuki. I'm going home to sleep now."
