Holy Land, in a newly reclaimed farmland.
Zephyr skillfully threw potatoes into the soil one by one. The two soldiers following him quickly buried them with shovels and poured water on them.
Sengoku was not idle either. He planted the peppers he had prepared long ago into the soil and said leisurely, "Akira Marshal is getting more and more comfortable with it. Not only does he like it, I also asked Sakazuki to plant all kinds of vegetables and fruits that I like, and even the peppers that Sakazuki likes. Not surprisingly, in the next rotation, Sakazuki will become one of the rotating Five Elders!"
"Right."
After planting the peppers, Sengoku sat down directly on the ground and looked sideways at Zephyr, who was sowing potatoes seriously, "Just now news came from New World. Although the war has not yet decided the winner, there is news that you will definitely be interested in!"
"What news?" Zephyr asked calmly.
"Gion Awakening Conqueror's Haki during the battle!" Sengoku didn't show off, and said with a smile, "This is a clear idea. How about we start a bet? Who will be the next Awakening Conqueror's Haki in our department?"
"No need to bet, it must be Sakazuki!" Zephyr said firmly.
Sengoku blinked and pretended to be confused. "Why not Kuzan, or Borsalino?"
Zephyr hit the nail on the head. "Kuzan is too preoccupied, Borsalino is not enterprising enough. As for why Sakazuki, isn't the answer obvious? The reason why he was paranoid in the past, stems from his childhood experience. And his behavior in the past few years in the headquarters has also caused dissatisfaction among many colleagues. Even you, who used to be Marshal, and Chamber of Power often scolded him, thinking that his actions were too extreme."
"Speaking of which, Sakazuki has basically been fighting alone in these years."
Hearing this, Sengoku nodded in agreement, "Indeed, we were still Vice Admiral back then. At that time Admiral, not only did we take care of each other, but we also had room for support, but when I became Marshal, I did not think about the problem from his perspective. Every time he acted in an extreme way, the first thing I thought of was not to help him stand up, but to let those old bastards Holy Land scold him!"
"Now you know that you, Marshal, are unqualified?"
Zephyr glanced sideways at Sengoku and struck mercilessly. "Assholes, you and Garp were more assholes than Sakazuki when they were young! No, Sakazuki is not an asshole, he just acted in a more extreme way!"
"Stop scolding, stop scolding~" Sengoku quickly stopped, and took out a box of senbei from his arms like magic, and said with a smile, "Now there is Akira supporting him, the iron-blooded young commander, Admiral who pursues Absolute Justice, it is a match made in heaven, hahaha."
Zephyr shook his head and said with a serious expression, "Akira's support is just the icing on the cake."
"The strongest people in the world are like the crucian carp crossing the river. Those who can get out of the storm never rely on an umbrella!"
At the same time.
Holy Land, Knights of God meeting hall.
As the leader of Knights of God, Figarland and Gringo crossed their legs and trimmed their nails leisurely. Shamrock, Somaz and other Knights of God members looked solemn, as if something major had happened to Holy Land.
Because Gringo did not speak, everyone did not dare to make any noise and remained silent.
Finally, Gringo, who had finished trimming his nails, raised his head slightly and said calmly, "What's going on with New World now?"
Shamrock did not dare to neglect, and stood up and said, "According to the latest information, Admiral Kuzan who went to Whole Cake Island didn't know what method he used to make Charlotte Linlin Hunger Pangs had a seizure, and Charlotte Linlin, who fell into madness, went on a rampage at Cake Island, almost completely destroying Cake Island."
"Oh?" Gringo was intrigued and asked curiously, "Where is Kuzan's Fleet led by Kuzan?"
"Kuzan did not take this opportunity to launch an attack on Cake Island. Although Bastille and other Headquarters Vice Admiral had arrived, he still did not order the attack on Cake Island. He only used Devil Fruit ability to freeze the sea around Cake Island!"
Hearing this, Gringo nodded and said with relief, "It seems that Kuzan's mission is just to block Big Mom Pirates and prevent it from rendezvousing with Beasts Pirates."
At this point, Gringo changed the topic and asked, "Where is Sakazuki? How far is the war with Beasts Pirates?"
Before Shamrock could answer, Somaz, a member of Knights of God who was sitting next to him, suddenly spoke and said in confusion, "What on earth is Akira going to do? As soon as he took over the power of the navy, he couldn't wait to fight with Yonko, and he is still at war with two Yonko. He doesn't really want to break the balance of New World and replace Yonko as the sole overlord of New World!"
"You know, even we Knights of God don't dare to provoke Yonko rashly. If Yonko is killed so easily, how can World Government let their territory continue to expand!"
Gringo frowned slightly and said with an unhappy expression, "Somaz, you talk a bit too much today."
Before Somaz could react, Gringo immediately looked at Shamrock, "Go on."
Shamrock nodded slightly, and then said, "According to intelligence, Sakazuki released Conqueror's Haki when fighting Kaido. Combined with the fact that Gunko was knocked back to Holy Land by Conqueror's Haki in the seal, it should not be Sakazuki Awakening who released Conqueror's Haki, but Akira who stored Conqueror's Haki in some kind of container and gave it to Sakazuki."
"It is worth mentioning that Gion awakened his overlord color during the battle with Flame Calamity Ember, became a veritable general, and defeated Flame Calamity Ember with one move!"
"In addition, whether it is Akainu's Fleet led by Sakazuki or Momousagi's Fleet led by Gion, they are different from the previous navies. In the battle with Beasts Pirates, all navies showed unprecedented courage."
Hearing this, Gringo gradually narrowed his eyes and said with emotion, "Courage is the hymn of mankind. Today's navy is indeed terrifyingly powerful!"
"The most important thing is that even Gion has become Awakening. Conqueror's Haki. Can the Three Admirals of the past be far behind? My intuition tells me that under the leadership of Akira, the navy will no longer be controlled by World Government. More strong men will emerge in the future."
Before he finished speaking, Gringo suddenly shook his head and laughed, "If I remember correctly, there is a saying in Grand Line: There are as many strong people as crucian carp crossing the river with Conqueror's Haki. And the one who is above all the overlords is Pirate King. If Marine Headquarters Conqueror's Haki strong ones continue to emerge, then Marshal who orders these strong ones Akira, what is it again?"
"Navy King?"
"No, no, no, what he wants is not just the strong man who commands Marine Headquarters, but he wants to be above all strong men and become King of the World!"
"And this is why he brazenly launched a war and started a war with two Yonko at the same time!"
Upon hearing this, the expressions of many Knights of God members present changed suddenly.
Become King of the World?
Could it be that Akira's ambition is to...
As soon as this idea came up, Knights of God members didn't dare to think about it anymore.
Because if Akira's ambition is to become King of the World, it means that Akira will eventually kill the adult of Void Throne.
"What are you worried about?"
Gringo, who knew what Knights of God members were thinking, slowly stood up and said unhurriedly, "What you have to do is continue to pay attention to the changes in the situation at New World. Lord Im will make its own decision!"
