The White Dragon Stands Shoulder to Shoulder with the Emperor Pirates All by Himself!
Marine Headquarters, Marineford, Fleet Admiral's Office.
While Sengoku was handling official business, he suddenly received Den Den Mushi signal from the New World.
He first dismissed everyone around him and asked irrelevant people to leave the office before finally connecting to the Den Den Mushi.
"Sakazuki ..."
When Sengoku answered the Den Den Mushi, his expression was slightly somber.
"Have you and Borsalino completed your mission?"
Sengoku was certainly aware of the Gorosei ' "Ruschired Island Buster Call" plan.
He also knew that the Gorosei had simultaneously dispatched Akainu and Kizaru to subdue the Shichibukai, White Dragon.
The reason why the Gorosei valued White Dragon so much was because of what had happened in the Sabaody Archipelago.
The Gorosei equated the "White Dragon" with the "Red Dragon Emperor," which is why they dispatched two Admiral at once.
The Sengoku still could not believe that the "White Dragon" was the "Red Dragon Emperor".
But the Gorosei's orders...
The Fleet Admiral could not refuse.
If Sengoku remembers correctly, today is the day the "Buster Call" plan for Ruschired Island will take place.
The fact that Sakazuki called the Den Den Mushi so quickly probably means that things on Ruschired Island are completely over...
The Sengoku thought so too.
Sakazuki and Borsalino deployed simultaneously, two Marine Headquarters Admiral working together to take on a Shichibukai and a Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral...
Even that bastard Garp couldn't withstand the "mixed doubles" of Sakazuki and Borsalino.
Not to mention Storm --
"I apologize, Fleet Admiral Sengoku."
Akainu's deep voice traveled through the Den Den Mushi into the Fleet Admiral's Office.
"The Vongola Buster Call plan targeting Vongola Storm has failed..."
Akainu adheres to "Thorough Justice".
Faced with the catastrophic [Magma-Magma Fruit], mortals are injured if they brush against it, and die if they touch it.
Therefore, in the past few decades, Akainu has rarely experienced mission failure.
Sengoku was also aware of this, so when he heard Akainu's words, he was stunned on the spot.
"It failed?"
Sengoku pressed for more information.
"How could it have failed? Could it be... that the White Dragon is truly the Red Dragon Emperor?"
In the battle at Sabaody Archipelago, the Red Dragon Emperor defeated Red-Haired and him in succession...
If we also include the "Dawn Pirates" behind the Red Dragon Emperor.
Sakazuki and Borsalino may indeed face the risk of mission failure...
"Fleet Admiral Sengoku! Although Vongola Storm didn't display the power of the [Red Dragon Fruit] in the battle just now, the Gorosei have already emphasized... the White Dragon is the Red Dragon Emperor!"
Akainu slowly revealed the real reason he had come to participate in the Buster Call against Storm.
If "White Dragon" is truly just "White Dragon," merely a "Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral," then Akainu is not entirely devoid of humanity.
Unless there are special circumstances, such as encountering a deserter spouting nonsense on the battlefield...
Otherwise, Akainu would generally not harm his fellow Marines.
But the "White Dragon" is the "Red Dragon Emperor"!
This leaves no room for Akainu to show him any mercy!
The Red Dragon Emperor's battle on the Sabaody Archipelago not only disrupted the Navy's plans but also severely damaged the World Government's authority, causing immense disruption to the entire maritime order.
These lawless Great Pirate are well within Akainu's attack range!
Akainu paused, and before Sengoku could reply, he continued.
"However... Vongola Storm's strength completely exceeded our expectations... My defeat in the battle directly impacted the outcome..."
Kizaru shifted the blame, and Akainu didn't deny it either, taking the blame for everything.
In Akainu's view, he does indeed bear the primary responsibility for the failure of this Buster Call.
Just as Borsalino said.
Akainu was knocked down by a single punch from the enemy during the battle...
This is a huge disgrace to the Navy!
No one in the Warring Sengoku could have foreseen this outcome.
Sengoku's anticipated outcome for this "Ruschired Island Buster Call Plan" was --
Akainu and Kizaru successfully captured White Dragon and then handed him over to Impel Down.
Even if the battle has some twists and turns, this outcome shouldn't change.
But the Sengoku never expected this.
Akainu, who has always been resolute and powerful, was actually the first to be defeated???
At this moment, Sengoku's thoughts were in turmoil. He didn't bother to ask about Akainu's condition and went straight to asking the most crucial question.
"Where is Vongola Storm?"
The Gorosei and the Navy's top brass joined forces to carry out the "Buster Call" against a Shichibukai in what could be described as a "sneak attack."
The Gorosei were alright, since they didn't know Storm's true identity.
The World Government's purge of the Shichibukai, whom they themselves have personally approved... is nothing new.
However, the naval high command, led by Sengoku, clearly knew that Storm was an undercover agent, yet they still carried out the Buster Call on him. This can be described as an "unjust betrayal" by the Fleet Admiral and the Admiral a Marine Vice Admiral!
If the Buster Call successfully carried out, there shouldn't be any other negative consequences.
But the Buster Call failed...
Will the navy one day face an attack from the White Dragon?
Sengoku's current feelings are nothing but shame and panic.
Upon hearing Sengoku's question, Akainu immediately turned to look at Kizaru standing to the side.
"Storm — Vongola Storm, he just swaggered away~"
Kizaru sighed and replied in a low, somber tone.
"But before he left, he said one more thing—he was quitting the navy."
"Hmph! Outlaw! He doesn't deserve to be a navy man!"
Akainu snorted coldly.
He believed that the White Dragon was the Red Dragon Emperor, and therefore did not acknowledge the latter's naval identity.
At this moment, they heard that White Dragon had voluntarily given up his identity as a member of the Navy.
Far from being disappointed, Akainu felt a sense of exhilaration.
Kizaru glanced at Akainu but didn't say anything more.
As for Sengoku on the other end of the Den Den Mushi, he was having a terrible headache.
Even setting aside other issues...
Judging from the strength that the White Dragon displayed during the "Buster Call Incident on Ruschired Island".
The Navy has done more than just force a Headquarters Vice Admiral and a Shichibukai to rebel...
The Navy is probably handing over a new Pirate Emperor to the New World!
Sengoku clenched his fists, a surge of anger rising within him.
It's all the Gorosei' fault!
After explaining the failure of the Buster Call mission to Sengoku, Akainu chatted briefly before hanging up the Den Den Mushi.
Fleet Admiral is just one hurdle.
There is another "hurdle" that Akainu needs to face...
Shortly after, Akainu contacted the Chamber of Power Mary Geoise and reported the mission failure to the Gorosei.
Mary Geoise, Chamber of Power.
When Saint Nusjuro received the Den Den Mushi from Akainu, he thought he was about to receive good news.
But after Akainu finished reporting the details, the bald Gorosei's expression immediately turned extremely gloomy.
"Useless! They're all useless!"
"Your navy is making the government lose all face!"
"Two Admiral! Two of the strongest fighters! And they couldn't even handle a Shichibukai?!"
"The countless resources and military spending that the government has wasted on your navy over the years have been nothing short of a waste!"
Saint Nusjuro unleashed a torrent of abuse at Akainu.
As the Financial Martial God of the World Government, Saint Nusjuro felt extremely resentful.
Sitting to the side, Makas Saint Mars felt a strange emotion rise in his heart after hearing Saint Nusjuro's words.
Come to think of it, he also teamed up with Kizaru last time, but they failed to capture Whitebeard the Second Teach Edward...
If this is according to Saint Nusjuro's wishes...
Marcus Saint Mars: Am I also a piece of trash?
Saint Nusjuro unleashed a torrent of abuse on Den Den Mushi on the other end of the Den Den Akainu.
Akainu had absolutely no room for rebuttal when faced with accusations from the Gorosei.
The truth is... he couldn't beat Vongola Storm, and he even dragged Borsalino down with him.
The mission failed, and he bears primary responsibility.
Akainu had no intention of arguing and could only obediently accept the scolding.
Saint Nusjuro cursed for a long time, but because of the Den Den Mushi, he couldn't do anything more to Akainu.
As for Vongola Storm, who had already dealt with the Buster Call, Saint Nusjuro was even more helpless.
His current anger is nothing but impotent rage.
Saint Nusjuro, like a mad dog, spewed out a torrent of words, but ended up exhausting himself with the spray.
Finally, because he was so emotionally agitated, he actually crushed the Den Den Mushi in front of him.
The communication between the Gorosei and Akainu came to an abrupt end.
Still seething with anger, Saint Nusjuro vented his fury over the Chamber of Power.
The other Gorosei were equally dissatisfied.
"Akainu! Kizaru! Two Admiral have been dispatched, yet they still couldn't defeat White Dragon!"
"This has suddenly made things complicated!"
"Having learned this lesson, the government has lost all credibility with White Dragon!"
"White Dragon still has Donquixote Doflamingo as a bargaining chip! Damn it!"
"If we had known that the White Dragon would be so difficult to kill, we should have dealt with Doflamingo sooner!"
"Now it's caused the government such a huge problem!"
What the Fleet Admiral can make connections to, the Gorosei can also make connections to.
With the Buster Call plan failing, White Dragon's status Shichibukai merely nominal.
To make matters worse, the World Government essentially forced White Dragon into rebellion.
The other party was originally just a rather aggressive marine who, besides fighting pirates, also liked to demand some "rewards".
But now.
Even the Gorosei couldn't imagine what the White Dragon would do in the future.
But one thing is certain.
White Dragon has now become the World Government's absolute enemy!
Considering White Dragon's current strength, he's capable of single-handedly taking on two Marine Headquarters Admiral...
Without a doubt.
The sixth Pirate Emperor of the New World has been born!
Moreover, they are different from other Emperor Pirates.
White Dragon could almost single-handedly rival the Whitebeard Pirates, the Dawn Pirates, the Beasts Pirates, the BIG MOM Pirates, and the Red-Haired Pirates!
First update.
It's 11 o'clock again...
It's still at midnight.
