The Navy Needed a Whole New Justice!
"The White Dragon Emperor..."
The Momonga's sharp eyes were fixed on the man not far away.
Beneath his seemingly calm and collected face lay a torrent of emotions.
Why!
Pirate Emperor!!
They actually showed up at the G1 Branch!!!
In a sense.
The Momonga truly witnessed Storm's growth step by step.
He once escorted Vongola Storm, who was then a naval recruit, to Impel Down, only to learn that the latter had "escaped";
He had met White Dragon during the time of the Shichibukai, and had personally escorted island after island of pirates who had been defeated by White Dragon;
Now, "White Dragon" of the Shichibukai has grown into "Haku the White Dragon Pirate Emperor"...
The Momonga has met with the other person yet again!
The moment he first sensed that incredibly powerful [Conqueror's Haki], the Momonga felt an extremely ominous premonition.
Upon witnessing the White Dragon Emperor with his own eyes, the ominous premonition in the Momonga's heart completely materialized into reality.
How are you supposed to send him to fight the Pirate Emperor?!
Although Momonga is also a "Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral".
But not every "Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral" is Monkey D. Garp!
The Momonga slowly put down the Den Den Mushi that hadn't woken up yet—the White Dragon Emperor's [Conqueror's Haki] had not only stunned the Marines in the G1 Branch, but also all the Den Den Mushi in the G1 Branch.
Nine-Star Conqueror's Haki is that powerful!
The Momonga knew perfectly well.
The G1 Branch has completely lost contact with Marine Headquarters and even the Holy Land Mary Geoise!
This means that at this point, he is the only one who can shoulder the heavy responsibility of "fighting against the Pirate Emperor".
The Momonga glanced out of the corner of its eye at the two figures, one in gold and one in purple, standing beside the White Dragon Emperor.
The purple-clad, blind, fat man... he was completely unfamiliar with him.
But the young man, golden-haired and lion-like...
Isn't that Golden Lion II, a high-ranking officer of the Dawn Pirates with a bounty exceeding 2 billion Beli!?
The Momonga's heavy emotions deepened.
But.
Ahead lies the Pirate Emperor commands the vast ocean.
To the side are flying pirates who can move mountains and seas.
With a "clang," the Momonga drew the military knife from his waist and charged forward with a death-defying spirit.
Justice will prevail!
[Shave]!
The Momonga stomped its feet repeatedly on the ground, skillfully employing the techniques of the Rokushiki, unleashing its fastest speed ever, and rapidly closing in on the enemy.
The gust of wind from the high-speed dash billowed the Momonga's Justice Coat, and the sharp, white blade of his saber flashed through the air, aiming straight for the head of the Pirate Emperor ahead.
But at that moment...
A familiar shade of purple was reflected in the Momonga's eyes.
A familiar figure stood in front of the Momonga's saber.
Clang!
A crisp, clear sound rang out.
The Momonga's saber slashed heavily at a Black Arm iron fist wrapped in black Armament Haki, but unfortunately it failed to budge the latter in the slightest.
"You..."
The Momonga stared wide-eyed at the "enemy" standing before it in disbelief, its fighting spirit melting away like snow in spring.
"Stop, Momonga."
Zephyr sighed, and with a slight push of his right fist, he deflected the Momonga's saber a short distance.
The disparity in strength between Admiral and Marine Vice Admiral was vividly demonstrated at this moment.
As long as it's not an oddball like a "Hero of the Marines" or a "Admiral Candidate".
Ordinary Marine Vice Admiral are generally no match for Admiral or Yonko- level enemies.
Some incompetent Marine Vice Admiral couldn't even last a single round against Supernovas.
(Here, I'd like to specifically name Vice Admiral Maynard, who was instantly killed by a Devil Fruit User of the Barrier- Bari Bari no Mi.)
Within the rank of "Marine Vice Admiral".
The Momonga is certainly one of the best, or perhaps it could be called an "elite Vice Admiral".
But compared to Zephyr...
The Momonga is far from being a good match!
Even at this time, Zephyr was not at the peak of his strength.
The Momonga is still far from good enough!
"Teacher Zephyr ..."
The Momonga took a few steps back with a "thump-thump," but he still gripped the military knife tightly in his hand.
"What are you doing?! Have you betrayed justice?"
The Momonga's brain was trembling.
He couldn't believe that Admiral —and "Black Arm Zephyr" at that—had abandoned the Marines and joined the Pirate Emperor's ranks.
How could such a thing happen?!
"I have not betrayed justice."
Zephyr crossed his arms and said calmly.
"But the Navy needs a completely new 'justice'!"
Rumble--
The moment Zephyr finished speaking.
Meanwhile, the clones of Golden Lion and Fujitora had already unleashed their respective Devil Fruit powers upon the Marine Branch base beneath their feet.
Even the naval warships that were originally docked in the port of the G1 Branch had their gravity erased by the clone, Golden Lion, through the power of the [Float-Float Fruit].
Under the combined power of the [Float-Float Fruit] and the [D Denk-Denk Fruit].
After a violent earthquake...
The G1 Branch slowly flew out of the sea and "rushed" towards the depths of the New World.
The already confused flying Momonga's brain was completely overloaded after he noticed the G1 Branch taking off into the sky!
As an experienced Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral.
What kind of scene hasn't Momonga seen?
But this scene today... he had truly never seen anything like it before!
Where have you ever seen pirates attack Marine Base and simply move the Marine Base?!
"Teacher Zephyr —No!"
The Momonga instinctively uttered the name, but then forcibly changed it.
"You are definitely not Teacher Zephyr!"
"My teacher Zephyr would never collude with pirates or join their evil ways!"
Zephyr opened his mouth.
He had anticipated that his "punishment of the Old Marines" would put considerable psychological pressure on Old Marines members.
But Zephyr never expected that the Momonga would experience such a profound psychological shock.
This child... seems a little slow-witted.
Zephyr wanted to say something more.
Standing behind him, Storm raised his hand and patted his arm.
"Fleet Admiral Zephyr, leave it to me."
"You..."
Zephyr turned to look at Storm behind him, about to say something, but only saw a lingering shadow left in place.
"Gently!!!"
Zephyr quickly retracted his previous statement and hurriedly added an explanation.
But Storm had already thrown his punch.
The Momonga felt a sudden blur before his eyes, and then a fist kept growing larger in his vision.
Bang!
The Momonga has fallen—(sad)
[Diamond Trophy: Momonga]
[Trophy Star Rating: ★★★★: ★★★★★★]
'Hey? [Momonga]'s Diamond Trophy has refreshed?'
Storm raised an eyebrow; he had previously thought he would only receive a [Platinum Trophy] this time.
I didn't expect the [Momonga] to respawn so quickly...
Another [Diamond Trophy]! You can wish for a [Demon Ring - Imitation], which will allow you to create another high-level Homies similar to Whitebeard the Second. or Golden Lion II...
"Call..."
Storm put away the [Diamond Trophy] with satisfaction, then blew non-existent dust off his fist. He turned to look at Zephyr, who seemed to want to say something but hesitated.
"Professor Zephyr, what did you just say?"
Young people are so healthy, they can fall asleep as soon as their heads hit the pillow...
Zephyr looked at the fallen flying Momonga, his lips twitching a few times.
"N-nothing... no, something's definitely wrong."
Zephyr sighed, rubbing his forehead.
"Storm, why didn't you let me stop the Momonga? Wasn't that part of the tactic we had planned?"
"Indeed, but..."
Storm spread his hands, saying helplessly (and shamelessly).
"Professor Zephyr, are you sure that Vice Admiral Momonga, in that mental state just now, would listen to your advice?"
Zephyr stop.
The Momonga in that state just moments before was practically ready to draw its sword and attack again.
How could they possibly listen obediently?
"Therefore, I think we need to modify the 'tactics' we had previously considered."
Storm offered his earnest advice.
"Let's beat them all up first!"
Actually.
Storm is not good at persuading people with reason; he is better at persuading people with force.
Therefore, he felt that his suggestion was correct.
"... This matter will be discussed later."
Zephyr wiped the sweat from his forehead.
He chose to work with Storm because he wanted to use his face to help appease the Old Marines of the G1 Branch and G5 Branch.
However, judging from the situation with Momonga...
Zephyr's "face recognition" strategy does not seem to have achieved the desired results.
Even the Momonga are like this.
How should Vice Admiral Burgas, who is older, more mature, and more experienced than the Momonga, be dealt with?
In addition.
The New World has more than just the G1 Branch and G5 Branch bases.
What should be done with the personnel at the other Marine Branch bases?
We can't do it like Storm said—
Let's beat them all up!
That's so brutal!
"Teacher Zephyr, please come up with a better solution quickly!"
"Storm said calmly."
"Because the next one is the G5 Branch."
As it turns out...
Zephyr didn't have any good solutions either.
The G1 Branch successfully arrived near the sea area where the G5 Branch was located.
When Storm's [Conqueror's Haki] swept through the G5 Branch like a storm.
When Vice Admiral Burgas, the "sole survivor" of the G5 Branch, stepped on [Geppo] and flew into the sky.
Zephyr still couldn't come up with a better solution than "fists".
"The White Dragon Emperor!?"
Just like with the Momonga before her, Vice Admiral Burgas recognized Storm at a glance, and looked at Zephyr standing next to Storm with suspicion.
"Zephyr, you old devil! Why were you watching from the sidelines?! Have you really betrayed justice?"
Vice Admiral Burgas's voice echoed high in the sky.
Zephyr lowered his head and rubbed his forehead in utter shame.
Taking action against his naval colleagues is certainly not his style.
So.
The new Fleet Admiral New Marine Fleet Admiral Candidate.
"Storm, do it."
Two updates.
Goodnight everyone.
