Seeing that the Five Elders and the God's Knights had gained the upper hand, and that Ryokugyu had done nothing against Akainu, he was secretly pleased.
Akainu's inaction will definitely anger and annoy the Five Elders. This is a matter of stance, and the World Government does not need someone with questionable stances to be the Fleet Admiral!
Even the previous Fleet Admiral, Sengoku, dared not disobey the Five Elders ' orders. He always behaved very obediently, which was the biggest reason why Sengoku was able to maintain his position Fleet Admiral.
Therefore, Ryokugyu hopes that the Five Elders will kick out Akainu, which would greatly increase his chances of becoming Fleet Admiral.
The Five Elders definitely wouldn't like someone like Fujitora, and Kizaru has no interest in becoming Fleet Admiral. Only Ryokugyu, who is loyal to the World Government and regards the Celestial Dragons as gods, is qualified to become the new Fleet Admiral!
However, Vic's arrival put Ryokugyu under a lot of pressure. Ryokugyu did not know before that the Five Elders were also very powerful, and that the World Government had powerful guards such as the Holy Knights.
But today he learned that Vic's ability to come and go freely in Mary Geoise ten years ago was even more impressive. Before leaving, he even casually suppressed him and Fujitora. This strength was truly terrifying!
Now that he saw Vic again, he felt uneasy, as if something bad was going to happen. That's why he threatened Akainu, hoping to use the power of the entire Navy to hold Vic back, so that the Five Elders and the Holy Knights could deal with the Straw Hat Pirates crew first!
" Vic can't cause much trouble on his own. Like I said, if you want to go, go yourself!"
Akainu suppressed his anger and continued to refuse. Aramaki's threat had already made him want to kill. This loyal dog of the Celestial Dragons was beyond redemption; his values were completely distorted!
He actually thinks everything the Celestial Dragons do is right, completely lacking independent judgment. It's ironic that someone who has lost the ability to judge right and wrong is their highest fighting force— Marine Admiral. The Marines following the World Government have truly fallen!
"Smile! Borsalino! The three of us are Marine Admiral. Whenever someone harms Celestial Dragons, we Marine Admiral must take action and eliminate the perpetrator, including his family and friends!"
"Now that Thunder God Vic has killed one Celestial Dragons, and poses a great threat to the lives of the other Celestial Dragons, it's time for us Marine Admiral to take action. What do you say? Are you still going to abide by this ironclad rule?"
Seeing that Akainu still wouldn't give the order, Ryokugyu thought of a roundabout way: the ironclad subordinate relationship between the Marine Admiral and the Celestial Dragons!
Whenever the Celestial Dragons need them, the Marine Admiral must obey their orders. This order carries a higher level of authority than the Fleet Admiral's authority over the Marine Admiral!
However, it's not safe for two Marine Admiral face Vic. Ryokugyu thinks that by trapping Fujitora and Kizaru, he still has a chance to fight Vic. Even if he can't win, he can at least hold him off for a while.
The time they've managed to stall them is enough for the Five Elders and the God's Knights to eliminate the other rebels. After that, Vic will face a group beating, and his anxiety will completely dissipate!
"Did Thunder God Vic arrive? And Celestial Dragons was killed? I didn't see any, Aramaki! You're not lying to me, are you? Besides, no Celestial Dragons called for help. You're not deceiving me, are you?"
Fujitora naturally couldn't sense Vic's presence, but he also knew that Ryokugyu couldn't lie at this moment, as he was the only blind man present.
Moreover, the atmosphere just now was very strange, and a powerful aura did indeed disappear, but he didn't want to continue aiding and abetting the World Government's evil deeds.
Just like Garp said before, what's wrong with not being a Marine?
Before joining the Navy, he had certain expectations for it, but after joining, he realized how much the World Government restricted the Navy, how powerless the Navy was, and that the Navy could not achieve the justice he believed in by relying on it!
Instead, out of concern for his hometown, he became a servant of the Celestial Dragons. Now that he has such an opportunity, he is determined to seize it. As for what Ryokugyu said, he will treat it as nonsense. After all, he is blind and really didn't see anything!
"A smile! You..."
Ryokugyu was so angry that he couldn't speak after hearing Fujitora's shameless words. He knew that Fujitora was determined not to deal with Vic, and no matter what he said, it would be useless!
" Mr. Aramaki! Since Mr. Issho didn't see it, let's go together. Even if we can't beat him, we can hold him off for a while. Maybe if we just hold him off for a while, the situation will turn in our favor?"
Kizaru said calmly, "Since Fujitora has refused, then I'll agree."
He knew exactly what kind of combat power Vic possessed; he was a formidable figure capable of defeating five of the Five Elders when they were attacked together. He had witnessed it firsthand, and the two Marine Admiral were simply no match for him!
Anyway, he and Vic have already reached an understanding, so he can just sit on the sidelines and let Ryokugyu, that stubborn guy, get screwed!
"Forget it! Two Marine Admiral are no match for Thunder God. Only three could possibly hold him off for a moment. Unfortunately, one of the Marine Admiral is blind and can't see the situation clearly. He's destined to be swept into the dustbin of history!"
Ryokugyu was very satisfied with Kizaru's attitude; this was Marine Admiral who truly cared about the descendants of the Creator!
Having experienced Mary Geoise, he knew that sending two Marine Admiral to stop Vic would be suicide, even if they were Logia users with the strongest survival abilities.
Currently, only one seemingly immortal God's Knights has been killed, and the World Government still holds the greater advantage. He can only suppress his unease!
" Mr. Vic! Did you come alone? Where are my mother and the others?"
With no enemies around, Robin had the leisure to look for her mother, but after looking around and not seeing her, she asked Vic for help.
Missing her mother was only one aspect; she also hoped for more powerful help. Her own crisis was over, but her other partners and comrades were still in danger, and the situation remained very unfavorable for them!
"Yes, I'm here alone. Your mother and I often go our separate ways, but they should have received the news and are on their way!"
Since learning of the existence of the God Realm, Vic has rarely acted with Rebecca, Barnett, and the others.
He wasn't too worried about the others. Even though none of them were true royal-level fighters at the time, when they joined forces, they were no weaker than any royal group.
With the Soul Fruit and the method to rapidly enhance their Haki provided by Vic, their strength will only grow stronger and stronger, approaching the level of a royal warrior. Vic has even less reason to worry about their safety!
