When Aramaki heard Stussy's words, his eyes immediately lit up.
He believed in "absolute justice," and admired people like Victor and Akainu, who carried that spirit through to the end. He himself showed no mercy to pirates.
However, Aramaki was a man who did as he pleased.
In the original storyline, he would act on his own without regard for Akainu's orders.
Still, Aramaki possessed extremely strong personal convictions.
He staunchly supported the World Government and the Celestial Dragons, believing that people from non-member countries like Wano Country did not deserve human rights.
In Aramaki's view, humanity had survived by trampling species it considered "inferior," and non-member countries were equivalent to the "lower classes." Only by keeping non-member countries beneath their feet could people live at ease. To him, "discrimination" was the same as peace of mind.
Stussy had also taken a liking to Aramaki's outstanding qualities, which was why she had strongly recommended him.
Stussy also believed that with Aramaki's strength and excellent qualities, he would definitely be selected by the Gorosei.
The Navy already had an admiral who had defected. Now, it needed an outstanding and loyal person to fill the gap in its combat strength.
"Lord Aramaki is going to become an admiral."
"Lord Aramaki, now that you've made it big, you mustn't forget about me."
"Lord Aramaki."
At that moment, the geishas surrounding Aramaki spoke in sweet, melodious voices, making him feel as though he were floating.
Stussy added, "Lord Aramaki, your ship has already been prepared. You can leave at any time."
"Hahaha."
Putting his arms around the geishas, Aramaki laughed and said smugly, "Once I become an admiral, I'll take good care of all of you."
Things were different from the original storyline.
The Navy now had only one admiral vacancy.
