"What do you think about applying to the World Government to appoint two Holy Knight as Marine Admiral?"
Upon hearing Sengoku the Buddha's suggestion to apply to the Holy Land for Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit for Momousagi and Chaton, Akainu Sakazuki pondered for a moment before suddenly speaking.
Instead of applying for two Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit, it would be better to go all the way and apply for two powerful Holy Knight.
For example, the twin brothers Shamrock and Shanks!
Both of them are strong enough to serve as Marine Admiral; their combat power is terrifying.
Especially Red-Haired Shanks, a former Four Emperors, even Akainu wasn't confident he could defeat him.
This way, we don't have to waste time letting Momousagi and Chaton train and develop their abilities.
Shamrock and Shanks will be able to participate directly in the upcoming world-class war in Wano Country.
Who knows, it might even create a classic legend of twin Admiral for the world!
"Shut up!"
"Mute!!"
Sengoku the Buddha, the former Fleet Admiral, turned Akainu, the new Fleet Admiral.
Chief Strategist Tsuru immediately activated his Observation Haki, fearing that someone outside might overhear Akainu's foolish ideas.
This hotheaded new Fleet Admiral really has absolutely no sense of hierarchy or emotional intelligence.
The Celestial Dragons, as the masters of this world, reside high in the sky.
Sakazuki actually dared to appoint the Holy Knight as Marine Admiral.
Although Marine Admiral are seen by the world as the highest fighting force in the navy, holding high positions of power and receiving great honor.
But in the eyes of the Celestial Dragons, all Marines are Celestial Dragons servants.
Sengoku the Sengoku the Buddha and Chief of Staff Tsuru had to admit that even the Marine Admiral, or even the Fleet Admiral, were considered high-ranking servants by the Celestial Dragons.
Now Akainu actually wants to make the Holy Knight his servant?
Is this someone trying to get themselves killed?
Akainu usually enjoys purple eggs and peanuts for afternoon tea, but that wouldn't warrant such a suicidal thought.
If Sakazuki were to submit this application to the Holy Land now, he might immediately become the shortest-serving two-year Fleet Admiral in history.
Furthermore, serving as Marine Admiral comes with a mandatory duty.
That is to unconditionally and immediately rescue Celestial Dragons in crisis.
Does Akainu intend for the more esteemed Celestial Dragons elites, the Holy Knight, to fawn over them like servants, rushing to rescue ordinary Celestial Dragons at the first opportunity?
Most importantly, Akainu, you, the new Fleet Admiral, are utterly lacking in self-awareness.
You actually want two Holy Knights to serve as Marine Admiral under your command.
What, you want to command these two Holy Knights?
You want to give unsolicited advice to two high-ranking Celestial Dragons?
They wouldn't even consider your position as Fleet Admiral, let alone Marine Admiral.
They were all servants!
···
The seriousness of Sengoku the Buddha and the vigilance of Strategist Tsuru made Akainu realize that he had almost ruined his career.
He was so focused on acquiring top-tier combat power for the Marine Headquarters that he inadvertently overlooked the Celestial Dragons' supreme status.
"Oops, I misspoke earlier. It's about applying for two Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit, so that Momousagi and Chaton can have the strength of Marine Admiral."
Akainu wasn't stupid, and quickly dismissed the fleeting thought.
He did indeed intend to give Red-Haired Shanks, the former Four Emperors, a command, but he overlooked the fact that Red-Haired Shanks is now the supreme Saint Shanks.
It's best to get rid of that idea immediately!
"Now that you are the Fleet Admiral, you must be careful about your thoughts and words regarding the Celestial Dragons and their potential impact!"
"Unless you want to end up like that reckless bastard Garp, stuck in the rank of Marine Vice Admiral for your entire life!"
Sengoku the Buddha began to reprimand Akainu, the new Fleet Admiral.
Fortunately, he and Tsuru were there to guide Akainu today; otherwise, Akainu might have acted rashly and asked the Five Elders to appoint two Holy Knight as Marine Admiral.
Even if Akainu, the new Fleet Admiral, isn't completely stripped of his title, he'll still be severely reprimanded by the Five Elders!
"..."
Akainu, who had not yet become Fleet Admiral, thought that he could control everything once he became Fleet Admiral.
It turns out that being Fleet Admiral requires an absurd number of things to consider.
He now feels constrained at every turn and is generally uncomfortable.
However, he still expressed his gratitude to the "incompetent old master" Sengoku for his teachings and guidance.
"Heh, you'll find out later just how tough it is to Fleet Admiral."
Seeing Akainu's expression, Sengoku the Buddha suddenly laughed.
Hopefully, after Akainu witnesses more of the Celestial Dragons' darkness and corruption, and the countless unjust missions and orders issued by the Five Elders, he will still be able to maintain his tough stance.
Even he, the wise and powerful Buddha Form with Conqueror's Haki, has been worn down into a 'good-for-nothing' in Akainu's eyes by the various orders of the Five Elders!
Were there many things that the Sengoku wanted to do?
He didn't want to do it, but he couldn't resist it at all.
Otherwise, he would never have been able to rise to a high position and would have remained Marine Vice Admiral like Garp for his entire life.
Garp refused to be promoted to Marine Admiral because he refused to do dirty work for the Celestial Dragons.
Having completed the Celestial Dragons' dark mission, Sengoku the Buddha has done his best to protect more marines and civilians, developing the Marine Headquarters to its current state.
"Hmph! I will lead the navy to become even stronger!"
Akainu acknowledges that Sengoku the Buddha has more experience, but he won't admit that he's inferior to Sengoku.
Moreover, he now has Wang Shi, a 'supporter' and 'foreign aid' with a background in the steel industry.
He can definitely do a better job than the Sengoku the Buddha!
"I hope so!"
Sengoku the Sengoku the Buddha sighed; he too hoped the navy would become stronger and suppress all injustices in the world.
But both he and Tsuru knew that this world had already become corrupt since the Celestial Dragons and other powerful figures at the top.
It's so hard to make a change!
"Alright! Inspector General, you're in charge of applying for the Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit and promoting Momousagi and Chaton to Marine Admiral."
"Chief of Staff, you will be responsible for appeasing the Affiliated Nation and handling the World Military Draft."
"I will personally oversee the relocation of the Marine Headquarters; this must be completed before the Battle of Pluton."
Akainu spoke coldly, displaying a decisive and ruthless style.
Under the new Fleet Admiral's orders, the entire Marine Headquarters sprang into action and regained a semblance of vitality.
···
Inside the Goa Imperial Palace.
Wang Shi received a secret phone call from CP0's Stussy.
"You're saying the Figarland Family has forcibly settled things with the Saint Rosward Family, absolving me of responsibility for killing Saint Charlos?"
"Yes, the Saint Rosward family will no longer pursue your responsibility or retaliate against you."
The World Government will blame Saint Charlos's death on a riot, and it has nothing to do with His Wang Shi.
"Tsk tsk, this cheap father-in-law's family is really something!"
"Your Majesty, Saint Shamrock has already gone to the East Blue to personally seek you out and resolve the situation regarding the Goa Empire's entry into a state of high alert."
Your Majesty, your actions have caused countless Affiliated Nation to watch and panic.
Stussy was deeply shocked by Wang Shi's act of standing up for his beloved and his people and the World Government.
To be honest, she was becoming increasingly interested in this Emperor of Exile.
