News Spreads, the Turbulent Pirate Alliance!

Sabaody Archipelago, the Marine temporary command center.

"You may all leave first..."

Looking at the intelligence before him, Akainu calmly said to Onigumo and the others, who had returned to report.

At that, the vice admirals stood at attention and saluted. "Yes, sir!"

Once they had left, only the current Three Admirals and Tsuru, serving as chief of staff, remained in the command center.

Seeing this, Akainu could no longer suppress the rage in his heart. He kicked the desk into charred fragments, scattering them across the floor.

Bang!!

"You... bastards!!!"

They were publicly claiming that the Red-Haired Pirates had stolen the Pure Gold?

This was utterly outrageous!!!

Akainu had not expected the warning from several days ago to come true so quickly. To preserve the government's ruling status, the Marines had to swallow this humiliation even though they knew the truth.

Ron's unparalleled victory had been covered up. He even had to put on a grim expression as though he had been defeated, deceiving the entire sea.

For Akainu, who believed in "Absolute Justice," this felt worse than eating shit!

"Calm down, Akainu!"

Waving away the thick stench of sulfur lingering around her nose, Chief Staff Tsuru frowned slightly and reminded him, "You are the Fleet Admiral now. Every word and action you take represents the Marines' stance!"

That only made things worse. Upon hearing it, Akainu flew into a rage like a mad dog.

"Then let them come and condemn me!!"

"A bunch of stubborn old fossils! They have the nerve to do it, but not the nerve to let others talk about it?!"

That was a completely naked personal attack.

And his targets were the Five Elders, the Marines' direct superiors, with even "Steel Bone" Kong, the Commander-in-Chief of the entire military, between them.

Tsuru's face darkened.
