On Thor Island, a huge thunderstorm drained away the electricity accumulated in the clouds, bringing a brief moment of peace to this thundering island.
"Ahem..."
Akainu stood up staggeringly, with only half of his left leather shoe on his feet, and the other half leaning outside his feet. After several attempts, he finally stood firm.
His body was covered with frostbite and puncture wounds, especially the circle of flesh and blood around his neck. The skin and flesh were opened and blood flowed across it, making people shudder.
This is undoubtedly a brutal duel!
Both sides not only used all their strength, but also blocked up their inner beliefs and exploded 120% of their strength to fight it out.
After ten days and ten nights of fierce fighting, the winner was finally determined.
Looking at Aokiji who was unconscious and lying on the ground in the pit, Akainu's dark face rarely lost the ferocity and anger of the past. There was only one part of admiration, one part of relief and relaxation, and one part of heavy sense of responsibility!
"You did a good job, Qingji..."
"But victory belongs to me!"
With flames in his eyes, Akainu stood in the center of the shattered Thunder God Island, roaring into the sky.
The new navy marshal has been chosen!
That's Akainu!
Countless people waited day and night to witness this result.
Although there are accidental factors involved, we are all adults and will not use accidents as excuses.
Akainu deserves to be the marshal!
After roaring, Akainu fell down and gasped for air.
Immediately, the naval soldiers waiting outside immediately got into gear and began arranging medical personnel to land on the island to provide emergency treatment to the new marshal and General Aokiji.
"It's so miserable. Don't they both know how to hold back?"
In the headquarters fortress, Ron looked at the live broadcast and shook his head silently.
Akainu won't say anything. The scar on his neck proves everything. It was an almost fatal attack.
And the blue pheasant…
Well, past experience has proven that the plot is conclusive.
He was defeated, suffered severe burns to the entire right side of his body, and lost his left leg.
Fortunately, his ability is "ice". The solid ice can easily make prosthetics. His physical skills are only average and have little impact on his combat effectiveness.
In response, Sengoku sighed worriedly.
"Why!"
"Are you sure Aokiji won't choose to leave, Ron?"
He was defeated in a battle where he had risked everything, and even lost a leg... Any normal person would probably not be able to accept such a heavy blow. Even if Ron's words were fantastic, Sengoku felt it was unrealistic.
"No, Marshal, because of this, I am sure that General Aokiji will not leave."
Ron said emphatically: "Because this is a duel!"
The culture of "dueling" is widely spread in this world. It is not just an excuse for pirates to fight bravely before, but it is also an extremely glorious thing.
Even if someone from the Five Old Stars accepts someone's invitation to a duel, they will never allow a third party to interfere.
Duel, sacred and glorious!
Everyone puts aside their identity and status, and fights as two pure living individuals.
Once you accept it, you have to fight with your life!
The fact that Akainu did not choose to kill Aokiji after his victory is proof that he has changed, and he will definitely try to retain Aokiji.
If it were the plot of the original work, Aoki Pheasant would certainly not pay attention to it.
But now, even if he is defeated, comatose, seriously injured and on the verge of death, Aokiji still holds his fist tightly, like a sleeping lion, ready to wake up and continue fighting at any time.
I wonder how a blue pheasant with such fighting spirit could still be so weak? !
One refuses to admit defeat and the other wants to stay. It is foreseeable that the scene of Aokiji leaving the navy will never happen.
"Yeah?"
Sengoku asked uncertainly: "Just because this is a duel?"
Ron: "..."
"No wonder the wolf cubs in our navy are always seen as a bunch of hyenas in the eyes of outsiders... Marshal, you should really go to the sea more often after retirement to see how others treat duels!"
If the Navy had not developed a cunning style of getting something for nothing under the leadership of the Warring States Period, the Navy's previous reputation would not be so bad.
Ultimately, the problem lies with Sengoku as the commander-in-chief.
I can't get rid of this scapegoat even if I want to.
Warring States Period: “…”
! !
(￣e(#￣)!
In the midst of the Buddha's light, Ron smashed the wall and flew out...
"I haven't officially resigned yet, you little bastard!"
…
The process was somewhat tragic, but the news of Akainu's victory spread quickly throughout the world, as if it had wings.
The outcome of this battle, which would determine the future of the navy, was determined. For a time, countless pirates were terrified and felt sad for their fate.
Aokiji's defeat was nothing short of a turn of events for the pirates. As we all know, he was a 100% dovish navy man. Whether it was his way of dealing with people or dealing with pirates, he was of the "speak first if you have anything to say" type.
And Akainu belongs to the type of "I'll go to hell to say anything!"...
One can imagine who they would like to see succeed Sengoku.
The situation is now clear.
"Navy hero" Garp was discharged and returned to his field, but he couldn't let go of the navy he had served all his life. He was persuaded by Wulaoxing to stay, and after replacing Zefa, he became the chief instructor of the new barracks.
Except for Xiu Zuo himself who was very dissatisfied and had to spend a lot of time on Garp to get it done, everyone cheered for the result.
Although he was punched away in the "big incident", it could not strongly affect Garp's status in the sea. He became the chief instructor of the new barracks, bringing a new round of enthusiasm for joining the navy.
The Medal of Glory that the Warring States Period had longed for was won simply because of the "big event" and was finally issued.
However, in this period of transition between the old and new navy, his dream of going to the house of a certain Celestial Dragon in Mariejoia could not be realized after all.
Not to mention whether the Five Old Stars would allow him to see the Heavenly Dragons who were dying to die, there were many complexities within the navy alone that could not be separated from people.
Therefore, Sengoku assumed the title of "Grand Inspector of the Navy Headquarters" and was actually the "man behind the new marshal" and continued to stay at the headquarters to help Akainu stabilize the situation.
The older generation and the new generation of the friendly and stability-maintaining factions simultaneously withdrew from the core layer, and were replaced by Akainu, the radical and iron-blooded faction.
The real tragic fate of the pirates has just begun!
A few days later, when the sea was still immersed in the aftermath of Akainu becoming the new marshal, the second news came out that made the world excited.
"Blue Dragon" Ron, due to his outstanding strength and impressive record, was unanimously recognized by the Five Old Stars and the new Marshal Akainu to become the new general!
The codename is still "Canglong", but the title of "Immortal Lieutenant General" has become a thing of the past. The new title should be "Admiral" Canglong!
For Ron, it is difficult for people to classify him as a hawk or a dove.
But as we all know, he is a man who has single-handedly defeated Big Mom, killed "Whitebeard" Edward Newgate, and planned many wars that affected the world. He is definitely a dangerous person in danger!
He became a general and had greater power. In the eyes of the pirates, this was a more threatening thing than Akainu becoming a marshal!
For a time, in this period of partial chaos when the new and old navy transitioned, the entire sea felt unprecedentedly quiet.
No matter whether it was the revolutionary army who was hiding somewhere or the only two remaining old members of the Four Emperors in the new world, "Red Hair" and "Hundred Beasts", there was no news.
It seems that only the navy is left on the sea, showing its power and glory in cheers.
