Marine Headquarters.
Because Edward Weevil and Miss Bakin will be publicly executed tomorrow, everyone from Admiral to the soldiers are busy in an orderly manner.
As an execution rack rose from the ground and stood in Marineford Square, the preliminary preparations came to an end.
The night is dark.
The soldiers on duty completed the work handover, and officers at all levels returned to their homes or dormitories. Only the light of Fleet Admiral's Office was still on.
Akira, who was sitting at the desk, reviewed the document in his hand and handed it to Gion, who was standing opposite the desk.
"Lord Marshal, let me review these documents."
Gion took the file and held it in her arms. She couldn't remember how many times she had been reminded and said again, "It's getting dark now. It's time to go back and rest!"
Akira seemed not to have heard, and picked up another document while reviewing it and said, "I plan to change the Marine Headquarters system that has not been changed for a hundred years! Especially Marine Headquarters Three Admirals, I plan to add three more places!"
"You have been in the alternate position of Admiral for so long. It is time for you to be promoted. Then the army under your command will be named after your code name, how about it be called Momousagi's Fleet?"
Hearing this, Gion shook his head and smiled, "Lord Marshal is he asking for my opinion, or is he simply telling me? If he is asking for my opinion, I would rather stay at Lord Marshal than promote me to Admiral and lead Momousagi's Fleet. Marshal around you is no better than Vice Admiral. In the past, as Vice Admiral, you only had to take care of your duties, but it is different now. Marine Headquarters and even all major branch matters need you to take charge. Without me, you will definitely be extremely busy!"
"Of course, if Lord Marshal has already decided and just informs me, I will naturally not hesitate and will definitely lead Momousagi's Fleet to fight for Lord Marshal!"
Hearing this, Akira put down the document and looked up at Gion, who had been steadfastly beside him all these years.
Gion is both a teacher and a friend to him.
If you had to choose the most trustworthy person among all people, Gion would definitely be ranked first.
However, he did not want to keep Gion by his side as an assistant. Because Gion is responsible, has true justice in his heart, and is the best among all Vice Admiral in terms of strength, keeping him as an assistant would be overkill.
After looking at Gion for a moment, Akira suddenly smiled and said, "Momousagi Admiral, can you pour me a cup of coffee?"
"Are you still drinking?" Gion blurted out subconsciously, "If you drink again, you won't be able to rest tonight!"
"I never thought about going back to rest!" Akira shrugged helplessly, "You don't know that my family is in a state of chaos now, because Mihawk is staying at my house, and Hancock doesn't go to the guest house. Hancock didn't go, but Gunko also joined in the fun, and then the two women started tit-for-tat at home. One said that she would be forgiven for any mistakes she made, while the other threw up the bandages and wanted to wrap the other up like a mummy and hang her up."
"It made Mihawk afraid to stay any longer and ran to the guest house in despair! Under such circumstances, do you think I dare to go back?"
Seeing Akira's helpless expression in his eyes, Gion couldn't help but cover his mouth and burst into laughter.
But she immediately suppressed her laughter and reminded her gently, "Since you can't go back home, then go to Vice Admiral Tsuru's house to stay for one night. Anyway, Vice Admiral Tsuru is at the Holy Land headquarters now. Because CP9 Chief was killed, she was busy assisting Master Kong in merging CP9 into CP0."
Hearing this, the corner of Akira's mouth twitched slightly, "Are you really not aware or are you pretending not to know? I'm going to stay at Vice Admiral Tsuru's house for one night now. Can you believe it? Tomorrow Marine Headquarters will start to spread rumors about me and Peacock again!"
"That's right," Gion blinked and finally gave the best suggestion, "Then go to my house. Ever since you were investigated by the investigation team, Mother has been concerned about you. Even now that the matter has been settled, Mother will ask you what you are doing almost every day."
"I won't bother the old man at this point!"
Akira waved his hand, "After processing these files, I will make do with it in the office!"
Just as Gion was about to speak, Den Den Mushi placed on the desk suddenly rang.
Seeing this, Gion quickly took a step back and entered working mode within a second.
"Lord Marshal, I am Noah!"
Akira just took Den Den Mushi, Noah Rear Admiral's voice immediately came out, "Jaz and Jinbe, Shichibukai, have been taken to Marine Base of Sabaody Archipelago by their subordinates. They will set off together with Doflamingo accompanied by Vice Admiral Bastille early tomorrow morning."
"Report completed! Loyal!"
Akira smiled and said, "Why do I hear that your tone is a bit resentful? Is it because these three Shichibukai are so cooperative that your charm has nowhere to go?"
"Ah... has everything been discovered?" Noah's voice was a little embarrassed, "There is a little bit of resentment. The subordinates received Jaz and Jinbe who were very cooperative. Although Doflamingo had a fight with Vice Admiral Bastille, it only ended."
"Lord Marshal, what the hell is going on? When Master Sengoku was in office, these Shichibukai were so arrogant, especially Doflamingo. During the last Shichibukai meeting, he actually used his Devil Fruit ability to control two soldiers in front of Master Sengoku."
"I thought that if he continued to be arrogant this time, I would fuck him with Vice Admiral Bastille! But I didn't expect that he actually gave up!"
Hearing the chatter in Den Den Mushi, Akira couldn't help laughing and said, "You want to beat up anyone you catch now, right? Is it because Mihawk once helped me and you couldn't find him to avenge your boss back then, so you took your anger out on other Shichibukai?"
"Nothing~" Noah said without any hesitation, "From the moment he offered his loyalty to Lord Marshal, Noah's personal honor and disgrace are insignificant!"
"What a personal honor and disgrace!" Akira praised angrily, and then said, "Don't worry, when this matter is over, I will let Mihawk give an explanation to your former boss. Although I must repay my kindness, I can't let my brothers be wronged. That's it, see you tomorrow!"
"Loyal!"
Noah shouted a slogan, and then ended the call with some reluctance.
If Akira hadn't said "see you tomorrow", he could have spent the whole night chatting with Lord Marshal, who was similar in age to him but far more powerful than him Haki!
Especially the word "brothers" in the sentence "Brothers cannot be wronged" said by Akira made him want to rush back to the headquarters immediately and stand in front of Akira and shout out his loyalty.
Gion, who was standing quietly next to her, saw Akira chatting so happily with one of her subordinates. She almost couldn't help but laugh out loud.
You know, when Akira mentioned Hancock, Gunko, and Peacock, his tone and expression could be described as helpless and painful, but when he was chatting with his subordinates, he was full of energy. He even cared about what his subordinates were thinking, which was absolutely brilliant.
It's a laugh, but Gion understands Akira's behavior very well.
Because over the years, Akira has captured the hearts of countless officers and soldiers through this way of getting along with each other, and his bright personality has won the support and loyalty of almost all officers and soldiers in the unit.
Sabaody Archipelago Marine Base.
After talking to Akira, Noah felt very relaxed, and the smile on his face could not be concealed and became increasingly unrestrained.
"Hahahahaha--"
"Hahahaha..."
After laughing for a while, Noah immediately turned his head and looked at Bastille, who was standing opposite, and Strawberry, who had just returned from District 13, and said proudly, "Two adults, Vice Admiral, guess what Lord Marshal just said to me?"
"What?!" Bastille looked at Noah as if he were a fool.
"Lord Marshal said, we cannot let our brothers suffer any injustice!"
Before he finished speaking, Noah laughed heartily again, "Brother...Lord Marshal calls me brother... hahahaha... huh?"
Suddenly, Noah, who was laughing until he coughed, suddenly turned around and looked at Doflamingo, who was also looking at him like a fool and grinning evilly.
"Doflamingo, if you smile like that again, believe it or not, I will kill you right now?"
"I feel like I'm terrifyingly strong now!"
As soon as these words came out, the smile on Doflamingo's face froze instantly, and the eyes under his sunglasses almost popped out!
He hasn't done anything!
What's the situation with the navy now?
Is it illegal to laugh?
Crazy!
Before Doflamingo could react, Jinbe and Jaz, who were standing side by side with him, turned around and left without any hesitation.
"Crazy~"
"Now Marine Headquarters, from officers to soldiers, everyone is crazy~"
"Did you see those soldiers just now? Looking at us is like a cat seeing Axe-Hand Morgan, with green eyes gleaming..."
After quickly distanced himself from Doflamingo, Jaz lowered his voice and complained repeatedly, "The navy was not like this in the past! Why do you feel that they are pirates?"
Jinbe said nothing, just nodded wildly.
