On the other side, the Neo Marine Headquarters is located on Enies Lobby.
"The North Blue has fallen." Akainu looked at the newspaper in his hand, his eyes calm. "It was Aokiji, Kizaru, Garp, and Gion who did it."
He wasn't surprised; the North Blue couldn't possibly stop the Neo Marines.
Now all of the navy's forces are concentrated near the Red Line, leaving most other areas as empty shells.
The men leading the attack left him somewhat dazed.
Garp, Aokiji, Kizaru were fighting Whitebeard alongside him not long ago, and now they're fighting the North Blue.
This shift in identity and stance evokes a complex mix of emotions.
"Brubrub!"
The Transponder Snail on the table rang.
Akainu answered the Transponder Snail, and the voices of the Five Elders came through.
Saint Saturn said in a deep voice, "Akainu, your daughter is dead."
Akainu's hand clenched suddenly, his heart skipping a beat. "Didn't you say you were going to take her to Marineford? How could she suddenly die!"
He opened the safe and quickly checked Yunque's Vivre Card, only to find it had turned to ashes.
As expected, the Yunque died.
"We don't know how she died either," Saint Saturn said grimly. "When our people found her, she was already dead in Dressrosa, and her body was taken away by the Neo Marines."
"You know, Dressrosa is Luo Wen's stronghold, there's nothing we can do."
He didn't openly frame Luo Wen; he simply gave Akainu a piece of information to guess for himself.
Akainu subconsciously narrowed his eyes. "You're saying she was killed by Luo Wen?"
"That's very likely, after all, she's your daughter," Saint Saturn guided. "Luo Wen, like you, never shows mercy to his enemies."
"Perhaps it's a good thing your daughter is dead; otherwise, given Luo Wen's lecherous nature, it's not impossible for him to become a slave."
"She's very beautiful, and she's your daughter. That's exciting!"
Saint Saturn paused, as if he had discovered a blind spot. "Wait, maybe your daughter was played to death by Luo Wen."
As he said this, Saint Saturn began to regret it.
If I had known, I would have had Kastron kill the Yunque and the Peacock; it would have been much more realistic.
"Enough! Stop talking!" Akainu's mind was filled with rage. "We still don't know if it was Luo Wen who did it, or you guys!"
He was completely in the dark; apart from the fact that the Yunque was dead, he couldn't make sense of anything else.
"Think what you want," Saint Saturn said calmly. "We can control you better if we have your daughter in our hands. Killing her is not in our common interest."
"But why would Luo Wen kill her? He clearly has the daughter of Akainu Fleet Admiral in his grasp; she's more valuable alive than dead. Using her to threaten you, isn't that wonderful?"
"Heh, perhaps the infamous Godslayer wouldn't care about a mere Akainu."
"By the way, I've already had someone send you a photo of the body; you can take a look."
As he spoke, Saint Saturn let out a mocking laugh.
"Smack!"
Akainu crushed the Transponder Snail in one swift motion and then smashed the desk in front of him into pieces with a single slap.
Saint Saturn's words were detailed and convincing; power, lust, and arrogance have always been the hallmarks of Luo Wen.
Killing Yunque was indeed something Luo Wen was capable of doing.
He couldn't help but recall what Luo Wen had said to him during the Paramount War: "I'll spare your life today; keeping you alive will make the Navy easier to deal with!"
Yes, Luo Wen looked down on him completely.
"Luo Wen, Neo Marines!"
Akainu roared loudly, his mind clouded by rage.
He wanted to show Luo Wen just how much trouble he would cause the Neo Marines!
Just then, Kays entered the office with three tall figures. "Akainu Fleet Admiral, three Admiral- level powerhouses have expressed their willingness to join us."
These three were naturally two members of the God's Knights who had concealed their identities, and the other was a truly naive and impulsive Aramaki.
Seeing that two Admiral- level powerhouses shared the same vision as him, Aramaki was even quite glad that he had joined the World Government's camp.
"Three Admiral?"
Even the enraged Akainu was taken aback.
Recruiting three Admiral at once—even at the height of the navy's power, such charisma was unmatched.
Now that the navy is universally Nezumi, why would anyone still be eager to join?
"I am Ulter, Logia Devil Fruit User Iron-Iron Fruit."
A burly, bald man with bulging muscles and a grayish-iron sheen introduced himself in a deep voice.
"I am Aramaki, Logia Devil Fruit User."
The gangster with hair as green as algae grinned an exaggerated smile.
"Akainu Fleet Admiral Akainu, I am Kastron, Logia Devil Fruit User." The man in the tan suit smiled warmly at Akainu: "I have long admired Akainu Fleet Admiral Akainu's charisma. I look forward to your guidance in the future."
Great, so I killed his daughter, didn't I?
"Are you really Admiral?"
Akainu was still somewhat skeptical.
If Admiral are so easy to recruit, then they...
"Certainly."
"That's me."
"Absolutely genuine."
Aramaki and the other two responded, each displaying their Haki and Devil Fruit Ability.
Spikes spread out in front of one person, sparks flew in front of another, and green trees grew in front of yet another.
"Indeed, he possesses the strength of Admiral."
Akainu could tell that these three might be slightly inferior to him, but they were still at the level of Admiral.
It seems that the navy could cause some trouble for the Neo Marines.
But Kastron's gaze made him very uncomfortable.
Akainu didn't think much of it, assuming that Kastron was after the position of Fleet Admiral.
