Mad Dog!
As Haku finished speaking, the atmosphere in New Marineford became unusually heavy. The naval officers and men began to whisper among themselves, their eyes no longer reflecting simple loyalty and obedience, but also a hint of contemplation and questioning.
At that moment, a navy officer was pushed forward!
Haku's gaze swept over, and the other person glared at her from behind before stammering, "Your Excellency Haku, what is your definition of justice?"
He glanced at Akainu and said mockingly, "What do you think true justice is? Is it blindly obeying orders from superiors, or recklessly upholding those corrupt systems and privileges?"
Haku pressed closer, her shadow stretching long in the sunset's afterglow, appearing both lonely and tragic. "True justice is protecting the weak, upholding fairness, and daring to confront and expose the darkness hidden behind the glamour!"
Akainu's fists clenched so tightly they cracked. He knew Haku's words were gradually eroding the cohesion within the Navy, but he also understood that he couldn't back down now. "Haku, what you're saying is just your prejudice! Every action the Navy takes is to maintain world peace and stability, and even if sacrifices are sometimes necessary, it's for a greater justice!"
"Sacrifice? Ha, that sounds nice!" Haku's laughter grew even sharper. "Then, who will bear the pain and despair of those innocent civilians who sacrificed themselves, those who lost their homes because of your so-called justice? You? Or those high and mighty Celestial Dragon?"
"Enough!" Akainu finally lost his temper. He took a step forward, his body enveloped in a blazing, magma-like Haki that seemed to devour all dissent. "Haku, you must pay the price for your defection today! All Marines, listen to my command: kill without mercy!"
However, just as Akainu was about to order an attack, a sudden gust of wind swept across the entire battlefield, temporarily dispelling the tense atmosphere of the standoff. A mysterious figure cloaked in a cape slowly stepped into the center of the battlefield, his appearance shocking everyone.
"Enough, Sakazuki." The Mysterious Person voice was deep and powerful, seemingly able to pierce the heart. "War and hatred only bring more pain and destruction. What we need is not more conflict, but dialogue and understanding."
Akainu frowned, clearly displeased with this sudden interference, but he also knew that this Mysterious Person's strength was unfathomable and not to be underestimated. "Who are you? Why are you meddling in the Navy's internal affairs?"
"No! You're the Revolutionary Army's Dragon!!!"
Akainu stared at the other's face, which was partially hidden beneath the hood!
Haku rolled her eyes and said, "And you, of all people, come out to join the fun when I'm feeling so powerful."
Long smiled and said, "I originally just came here with your New Marines Headquarters, but I didn't expect to see you in such a magnificent state."
"Oh, right, there's a live- Recording Den Den Mushi over there, give me a smile!" Long said, pointing in a certain direction.
Following the direction of the dragon, Haku actually detected that there was a phone in her invisible New Marines Headquarters that was simultaneously recording Haku's angry confrontation with the navy!
Haku raised an eyebrow and said, "So, this scene was seen by the whole world?"
Dragon nodded, a sly glint in his eyes. "That's right, Haku, your voice and actions are now being transmitted to every corner of the world through countless screens. People will see that even within the Navy, there are different understandings and pursuits of justice."
Haku paused for a moment, then gave a wry smile. "It seems my impulsive act has become part of your plan. But that's fine too; at least combined with the Vegapunk incident a couple of days ago, it should make more people start to think."
Akainu's face was so dark it seemed like it could drip water. He glared at Dragon, his voice low and threatening. "Dragon, you really are everywhere. But don't forget, this is Marine territory, not a place where your Revolutionary Army can run rampant!"
Long smiled calmly, but his tone revealed an undeniable firmness. "Sakazuki, territory and power are both temporary. What truly endures is the justice and hope in people's hearts. You and I both know that this world needs more than just order; it needs fairness and freedom."
Akainu knew he could never win a verbal battle against these two!
He said in a deep voice, "Why aren't you making a move?!"
Apart from the Marine Vice Admiral beside Akainu, everyone else hesitated and stood frozen in place, unsure of what to do.
Upon hearing Haku reveal that others within the Navy had also committed such acts, divisions had already formed among these individuals.
Akainu was furious when he saw this!
So much so that his arm transformed into thick magma and attacked the navy members who were standing there in a daze!
"Stop! Sakazuki!!!"
Originally, using Observation Haki to sense the dragon's victory, Vice Admiral Tsuru rushed to the front line.
As a result, they witnessed Akainu doing such a crazy thing as soon as they arrived.
"**!!! That Mad Dog!!!"
Haku couldn't help but swear!
Faced with Akainu's sudden attack, it was too late for the others to come to the rescue!
The only person present who could stop them was Haku.
The next instant, Haku appeared in front of Akainu's attack direction.
"Binding Arts Eighty-One: 'Broken Sky'!"
An invisible wall opened up, and Haku easily blocked the lava.
Behind Haku, a naval captain hidden in the crowd looked somewhat deranged.
"Come to hell with me!"
The colonel was about to detonate a bio-bomb covered in red!
Strangely, no matter what he did, he couldn't detonate the bomb.
At that moment, a voice spoke leisurely, "You don't think I was unaware that you collected the bio- Virus from Old Marineford and gave them to Vegapunk for research, do you?"
The colonel's pupils dilated, and his strange behavior drew the attention of those around him.
Some people saw the bomb in the colonel's hand, combined with Haku's words just now.
At this point, who wouldn't know what this person was up to!
"Stop! You're risking your own brothers' lives!" an older naval officer shouted, his eyes filled with disbelief and anger.
The surrounding naval soldiers also reacted quickly, retreating and keeping their distance from the colonel, creating an extremely tense atmosphere.
The colonel's face was contorted, his eyes flashing with a mixture of despair and madness. He roared, "You don't understand! Akainu Fleet Admiral can make us...!"
