Akainu Revealed as the Fleet Admiral Two Years Later
In the video, as Gatz announced Luffy's victory, the entire Dressrosa erupted in enthusiastic cheers.
Immediately afterwards, the scene shifts to the Navy beginning their manhunt for the Donquixote Family, while simultaneously using Visual Den Den Mushi to broadcast the current situation in Dressrosa.
The next moment, Marine Admiral Fujitora, leading a large number of Marines, arrived before King Riku, whom the people were urging to reclaim the throne. He said with utmost sincerity, "... Your King Riku, we cannot allow you to bear the responsibility for Doflamingo's actions any longer! It was undoubtedly the World Government, the people, and the members of the Royal Family who allowed that vicious pirate to rely on the Seven Warlords of the Sea system to recognize him as the ruler of this country and thus reign over it."
At this point, Fujitora led the group of marines to kneel on the ground. "On behalf of the World Government, I offer my deepest apologies to everyone. I am truly sorry."
On the screen, a barrage of shocked comments immediately appeared: {"The... the Marine Admiral actually knelt down and apologized on behalf of the World Government, isn't that going against the natural order?!"}
This Admiral named Fujitora is truly courageous!
{ Fujitora is awesome, Fujitora is mighty, but isn't he afraid of losing his job?!}
{It seems there are still some people in the Navy who are worthy of the justice they uphold.}

"Fujitora, whether it's the present you or the future you, you really know how to cause me trouble!" Sengoku said helplessly.
On a warship in a certain sea area along the Grand Line.
"I can't believe someone actually did it!" Smoker breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fujitora? I'll remember you! Consider it a drink I owe you!"
The Grand Line, Marine Headquarters, Marineford, inside a house.
"Fujitora? Hahaha, he really is a man unlike any other!" Garp laughed loudly. "The future Sengoku will probably have a lot of headaches! Hahaha..."
In the video footage, the camera pans to show Fujitora having a heated conversation with someone while holding a Den Den Den Mushi).
"Stop playing dumb! Ichiro." An angry male voice came from the other end of the Den Den Mushi. "What does it mean for Marine Admiral to admit defeat? You can't possibly not understand, can you? Why didn't you report to headquarters beforehand?!"
"If it's reported, it'll be distorted into completely different news!" Fujitora said slowly.
"Huh?! What nonsense are you talking about?!" The male voice on the other end of the Den Den Mushi said unhappily, "There are countless ways to secretly eliminate such situations."
"I refuse to become a hero through lies," Fujitora said calmly. "Isn't it our superiors— the World Government —who constantly claims to be working for the balance of the world and thus hires pirates?!"
"But this concerns the reputation and prestige of the Marine Headquarters." The male voice on the other end of the Den Den Mushi emphasized, "Your arbitrary actions have tarnished the Navy's reputation for justice!"
"If you're afraid of losing face, then keep it to yourself and don't embarrass yourself!" Fujitora retorted angrily, "A reputation lost by admitting defeat is no different from one that never existed in the first place."
His words immediately terrified the naval soldiers who were watching.
The next second, the camera shifts to the other end of the Den Den Mushi (Den Den Mushi).
The man wore a navy cloak with the word 'Justice' printed on it, a white hat, a small mustache, and frostbite scars on his face.
His character profile immediately appeared. "Fleet Admiral of the Marine Headquarters, Akainu — Sakazuki."
"In that case, let's settle this once and for all, Fujitora!" Fujitora roared. "You're not going to set foot in any of the Marine Bases until you've got the heads of Straw Hat Luffy Akainu and Trafalgar Law."
"I couldn't ask for more," Fujitora retorted without backing down.
The screen was now filled with all sorts of comments: {Tampering? Secretly eliminating? Wait, could it be that pirates defeated the Shichibukai and then saved a country before?!}
{What? Fleet Admiral — Akainu? No wonder Fujitora became the new Marine Admiral, it turns out the former Marine Admiral became Fleet Admiral?!}
{No, if Akainu becomes Fleet Admiral, then where is the current Fleet Admiral — Sengoku?!}
{Wow, Fujitora's really brave! He dares to speak to his superior like that; he's got guts!}

"Akainu... Akainu has become the new Fleet Admiral?" A hint of worry flashed in Sengoku's eyes. "This is not a good thing!"
The Grand Line, Marine Headquarters, Marineford, inside a house.
"Tsk! Boring. So the future Fleet Admiral isn't Sengoku! How boring." Garp said disappointedly. "It's even more boring not seeing Sengoku looking so overwhelmed!"
As he spoke, he looked at Aokiji, who had been feigning sleep but was now staring seriously at the Aokiji in the sky, and asked, "What? You seem to have some objection to Akainu becoming Fleet Admiral?!"
Aokiji ignored him, stood up, and walked towards the door.
"Hey! You don't really have a problem with that, do you!? Aokiji." Garp asked, looking at his retreating figure.
The Grand Line, the waters near the Marine Headquarters.
"Admiral Sakazuki... no, I mean, Admiral." A junior naval officer looked at Sakazuki standing before him with a complicated expression and said, "We're almost at Marineford! Please prepare yourself."
"Oh!" Sakazuki glanced at him indifferently and said, "Okay, I understand!"
As he spoke, he looked up at the sky and murmured, "Fleet Admiral? This position is really not easy to hold!"
The New World, Moby Dick.
"Gurararara, I never imagined that Sengoku would one day stop being the Fleet Admiral!" the Whitebeard sighed.
In the video footage, Fujitora, although he promised Akainu that he would capture Luffy and his Luffy, did not take any action. Instead, he left the matter to fate, deciding whether to capture Luffy and his Luffy that day by rolling dice.
However, for two consecutive days, the numbers that Fujitora rolled were in favor of Luffy.
Therefore, he did not take any action, but simply blocked the port in and out of Dressrosa!
Finally, on the third day, the warship that had come to escort Doflamingo and his men arrived in Dressrosa, and a group of people disembarked from the warship.
Among them, two elderly people with white hair stood out the most, one a woman and the other a man.
The woman had a simple ponytail and wore a pair of emerald green earrings.
The man had a beard tied in a braid and wore a pair of frog-shaped glasses.
Their character introductions immediately appeared. "Marine Headquarters, Vice Admiral - Tsuru."
"Marine Headquarters, Inspector General- General— Sengoku."
The Holy Land, Mary Geoise, Fleet Admiral's Office.
"Damn that God from Beyond the Domain, he actually revealed what I'll look like in the future!" Sengoku rubbed his forehead, complaining. "I'm probably going to be laughed at by some people!"
The Grand Line, Marine Headquarters, Marineford, inside a house.
"Hahaha, Sengoku... Sengoku, the future has turned out like this, it's just... it's hilarious!" Garp pounded the floor, laughing loudly. "No, I need to find a camera and take a picture of this, so I can laugh at Sengoku later."
With that, he strode towards the door.
The New World, Moby Dick.
"Gurararara, Sengoku... Sengoku, I never expected this! I never imagined you'd grow this old one day, it's truly hilarious!" the Whitebeard man laughed loudly.
In the video footage, despite Tsuru's urging, Fujitora calmly ate his noodles while taking out dice and letting her roll them.
Soon, a number that was unfavorable to Luffy and his crew appeared.
Without hesitation, Fujitora immediately ordered the capture of Luffy and his crew.
Immediately afterwards, the scene shifts to Bartolomeo, who, upon learning the news, immediately reports it to Luffy and the others, telling them to head towards the eastern coast, where they have already prepared a ship, and the warriors from the Corrida Colosseum fought alongside them are also escorting them along the way.
Luffy and the others immediately followed Bartolomeo's lead.
However, Luffy suddenly changed his mind and decided to do something first.
The next second, the scene shifts, Luffy at the Royal Palace. He confronts Rebecca, who is preparing to become a princess, and questions her: Is she really going to give up living with Kyros?!
Rebecca immediately told him firmly that she was unwilling to give up, but Kyros himself had given up on her, finding her troublesome.
It turns out that not long ago, Kyros fabricated a cliché story of a prince and princess eloping by spreading rumors, with the aim of making Rebecca's life better, since he was a sinner and a sinner was not qualified to be her father.
However, Luffy could not accept this at all, which is why this scene has occurred.
Faced with Rebecca's dilemma, Luffy bluntly told her that the decision was hers to make, and he didn't have time to sit there and ponder these things with her. He was leaving the country, and if she was truly prepared to live with Kyros, then he would take her there now.
So Rebecca made up her mind to give up her princess title to her aunt, Viola, and went to the Flower Field with Luffy.
Just then, they ran into Kyros, who was about to leave. After a conversation, the father and daughter finally reconciled and were reunited.
The Grand Line, Amazon Lily, inside the Royal Palace.
"Rebecca... I'll remember you!" Hancock said enviously. "Since you dared to Luffy carry you, I... I want to too!"
The New World, Dressrosa, King's Plateau, Inside the Royal Palace.
"Fufu, what a touching father-daughter relationship!" Doflamingo glanced back at King Riku, Viola, and Rebecca and her granddaughter in the corner behind him, and said, "It's a pity that we haven't been able to capture Kyros yet, otherwise I could have made you put on this show sooner! But I think he'll appear soon! Because he certainly won't just stand by and watch you be subjected to the most extreme punishment."
As he spoke, he looked at Pica beside him and said, "Let's start setting up the stage, Pica."
"Yes, Dover," Pica nodded and said.
The next second, his figure slowly disappeared into the ground.
Meanwhile, in the video footage, after bringing Rebecca to the Flower Field, Luffy immediately headed towards the East Blue.
He encountered no obstacles along the way.
Just as he was about to reach the port, a man appeared in his way to block his path.
Indeed, Marine Admiral Fujitora.
Despite Fujitora's obstruction, Luffy did not retreat an inch but instead engaged him in battle.
This scene left Bartolomeo and the others watching completely dumbfounded.
"I can't wait until some future day to defeat you," Luffy said as he continued his attack. "Why should I run away just because you're Admiral? That kind of thing ended two years ago! No matter what kind of Marine Admiral you are, or what Four Emperors you are, I won't become the Pirate King until I defeat them all."
Immediately, a barrage of admiring comments appeared on the screen: {Wow! I have to say, Straw Hat Luffy is really brave!}
Before, I thought Straw Hat Luffy was just boasting, but now that he's defeated Doflamingo, I think what he said might actually come true!
{Go Straw Hat Luffy! I believe in you!}
I wonder if there will be any Jianying of the Straw Hat Luffy fighting against the Four Emperors or Admirals later on?!

Meanwhile, in the video footage, Luffy's battle with Fujitora continues.
However, Luffy would announce his attack method before each attack to warn Fujitora.
This made Fujitora very unhappy, as he felt that Luffy was taking pity on him.
Luffy told him that he didn't dislike him and couldn't bring himself to kill him since he couldn't see him.
Fujitora immediately laughed, then angrily rebuked Luffy, saying that no one in this world would openly express sympathy or dislike. He had gone to great lengths to convince himself to stick to his stance and pursue Luffy and his crew.
Luffy shouted that it had nothing to do with him.
Seeing that he couldn't reason with Luffy, Fujitora decided to stop holding back and used his Surgical Powers on Luffy, not only sending him flying but also blasting away a portion of the stone wall on the East Blue.
Fortunately, Luffy was not injured. He was caught by Hajrudin and held tightly in his hand, preventing him from fighting Fujitora.
Originally, Zoro wanted to take Luffy's place and fight Fujitora, but Bartolomeo stopped him.
So they immediately crossed the pontoon bridge and rushed to the other people's boats, and Fujitora did not chase after them.
Everything seemed to have come to an end.
If it weren't for the pile of rubble that suddenly floated up above Fujitora and was slowly moving towards Luffy and the others, people would indeed have that feeling.
