Ryokugyu and CP0 were to take Haku away
Finally, the World Government issued an order.
Akainu is demanding that he take Haku, who is unconscious in the G5 Base, away!
It's obvious to everyone that the World Government has ill intentions towards Haku, but Akainu was ultimately supported by the upper echelons of the World Government to become the Fleet Admiral.
Furthermore, he himself disliked Haku, so he risked being ostracized by all his subordinates in the Navy, but ultimately agreed to the World Government's request!
Of course, all of this was initially opposed by naval commanders, led by Zephyr!
It's important to know that Haku's current coma is largely due to the Blackbeard incident, and Haku actually wiped out the entire Blackbeard Pirates! This saved face for the Navy!
Everyone who has a good relationship with Haku knows that once Haku is handed over to the World Government...
Who knows what those people will do to Haku!
Unfortunately, no matter how much the generals, led by Zephyr, tried to delay, it was to no avail!
More than a year after Whitebeard's death, Fleet Admiral Akainu dispatched Ryokugyu, a newly promoted Admiral selected through World Military Draft, and CP0 agents from the World Government to the Marine G5 Base to forcibly take Haku away!
At G5 Base, the Marines watched Ryokugyu, the new Marine Admiral had forcibly boarded the G5 Base and was now swaggering around inside, with great vigilance!
Behind him followed a number of CP0 members dressed in white suits and wearing masks.
As Ryokugyu and the CP0 team entered G5 Base, an inexplicable tension filled the once tranquil space. The Navy soldiers, their eyes resolute, gripped their weapons, staring intently at the uninvited guests. Their faces were etched with worry and anger, for they knew these men were there to take away their idol, their follower, Haku.
Ryokugyu stood in the center plaza of the base, surveying his surroundings with an air of superior indifference. He spoke slowly, his voice low but commanding. "I'm here to take Haku away."
This statement immediately provoked a strong reaction from the naval soldiers. They loudly objected, expressing their inability to accept such an unreasonable demand. Some agitated soldiers even raised their weapons, ready to defend their Admiral!
However, Ryokugyu remained unmoved. He coldly glanced at the excited soldiers, a disdainful smile playing on his lips. The CP0 members behind him also looked indifferent, as if they were already used to this kind of scene.
Just then, a dignified voice suddenly rang out. "Admiral Ryokugyu, haven't you gone a bit too far?"
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Zephyr, a man with a resolute face dressed in black casual clothes, walking over.
He is currently the interim commander of G5 Base, and also Haku's mentor— Zephyr.
Zephyr walked up to Ryokugyu, staring at him with unwavering eyes. "Don't you know that Haku is a hero of our Navy? He paid a huge price for the Navy. You're taking him away now; aren't you afraid of chilling the hearts of all the Navy personnel?"
Most of the marines present were trained by Zephyr, so after Zephyr stepped forward...
The marines at G5 Base all stood behind Zephyr!
Ryokugyu sneered, "Zephyr, is it? I'm just following orders. Haku's affairs are none of your business."
Zephyr roared, "Operating under orders? You're pushing Haku into a fire! I know those people have ill intentions towards Haku, and I will not let you succeed!"
Ryokugyu immediately sensed trouble; he hadn't expected to encounter such a significant obstacle at the G5 Base.
A CP0 member wearing a bird-head mask spoke up, "Zephyr, please cooperate with our work. Taking away Marine Admiral Haku is an order jointly issued by the World Government and the Fleet Admiral!"
"Do you intend to disobey the orders of both sides?"
The CP0 member wearing a bird-head mask spoke sharply, causing the room to fall silent.
Zephyr upon hearing CP0's words, but did not back down. He took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "I, Zephyr, have been loyal to the Navy my entire life, but I also have my bottom line. Haku is my student, and I know his character well. It's an open secret that the World Government harbors ill intentions towards him. I cannot stand idly by and watch him be taken away."
Upon hearing this, Ryokugyu's face darkened. He clearly hadn't expected Zephyr to oppose their actions so resolutely. He said coldly, "Zephyr, do you know the unimaginable consequences of disobeying the World Government and the Fleet Admiral's orders? Are you sure you want to do this?"
Zephyr stood firm, his chest out, his voice resolute. "I understand the consequences, but I understand my duty and my beliefs even more. Haku is Marine Admiral, and he is also a hero of the Navy. I cannot let you take him away like this. If you really want to take him by force, you'll have to get over me first!"
Ryokugyu and the CP0 were shocked by Zephyr's resolute attitude. They never expected that this former Marine Admiral of the World Government, now an instructor in the Navy, would dare to openly defy the orders of the World Government and the Fleet Admiral.
Many people stepped forward at this time, including Kyros Rebecca, who were brought back to G5 Base by Haku to work; the three little Seraphim that Haku brought back from Bullet Island; and Kalifa, who had passed Haku's interview a long time ago and was handling all sorts of trivial matters for Haku.
Zephyr's three students, Ain, Binz, and Shuzo, all stepped forward!
Ryokugyu was starting to feel a bit overwhelmed, knowing that this was Haku's territory.
Everyone here has some connection to Haku. They can't just stand by and watch Haku be taken away without doing anything.
The situation reached a stalemate. Although Ryokugyu and the CP0 agents had orders from the World Government and the Fleet Admiral, they dared not make any rash moves due to the strong opposition from Zephyr and the others.
Just then, a series of hurried footsteps approached. A CP0 member whispered, "G1's Garp received the message and is now heading towards G5 Base!!!"
"Hiss! You're not kidding, are you?" Ryokugyu's face turned ugly.
Before coming to the G5 Base to carry out orders, Akainu had already caused some trouble at G1, keeping Garp busy.
I can't believe that he's only been here a short time, and someone from G1 has already leaked this information to Garp?
The man with the bird-face mask nodded, waved away his subordinates, and said sternly to Ryokugyu, "The Five Elders have said that if we encounter any obstacles, we are permitted to forcibly take Admiral Haku away! So, let's do it!"
