Marineford, Marine Headquarters.
Aokiji began searching for missing-person cases in the archives of the headquarters.
He was a Marine Admiral now, so his clearance was very high.
He wouldn't have known if he hadn't looked, but looking gave him a terrible shock.
A massive number of people went missing every year.
Children disappearing cases had happened frequently, especially in recent years.
These cases were ultimately classified as human trafficking, and in the end, they were all left unresolved.
Aokiji found photographs of the missing children and carefully compared them in his office.
Although it took a lot of time, sure enough, many of the children's photos matched the photographs in the files of the children from the laboratory.
Victor didn't lie to me.
Aokiji's brow was locked in a tight frown as he forcefully suppressed his anger, choosing not to question Sengoku.
Since Victor could find out about this matter, Sengoku must have known about it long ago.
That was because the Science Unit was still directly commanded by Sengoku.
Aokiji hadn't expected Sengoku to be that kind of person.
Even if this was an order from the World Government.
Yet...
Aokiji couldn't accept it.
Sengoku compared to Victor?
He was even more ruthless than Victor!
Moreover, what Aokiji found most difficult to accept was the "deception".
Sengoku's justice and the justice that Aokiji and the others adhered to were completely different.
Clearly being someone who would stop at nothing to achieve his goals just like Victor, yet he still put on a hypocritical facade of benevolence and righteousness!
However, now wasn't the time to have a falling out.
Aokiji had to investigate the Science Unit thoroughly, not only to rescue those children, but also to put a complete end to the evils within the laboratory.
