Garp, observing from high above using Geppo, looked at the Five Elders with disdain.
They're not fools; how could he not know what the Five Elders were up to?
"Hmph, the navy has already suffered unprecedented losses; we cannot afford to let anything happen to our three Admiral now."
"Otherwise, the navy will have absolutely no hope."
Garp directly refused the Five Elders ' order from mid-air, realizing that the Five Elders were terrified.
Rather than listening to them and going to their deaths, it's better to completely offend the World Government and preserve the Navy's strength.
If they don't listen to them, the navy still has a chance to survive; if they do listen to them, the navy is doomed.
Although the core forces have suffered heavy losses, there is still hope that they can regroup and rebuild within eight to ten years.
If both the core and top-tier forces are dead, then everyone might as well give up and go to sleep.
Marine Admiral isn't someone who can be trained in ten or eight years; it requires both talent and hard work to even have a chance.
But the Navy doesn't have any monster rookies these days. Even if you wanted to train specific types of people, there simply aren't any suitable candidates for you to train.
" Garp, how dare you openly defy our orders?"
"That's right, your navy is nothing but a dog kept by our World Government. Are you going to rebel at this time?"
"If you can hold off the Blond Hair Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates, we'll increase the Navy's budget when we get back."
"Some losses are unavoidable, but with ample military spending, the navy can easily recover."
The Five Elders, one by one, first intimidated them, and then proceeded to offer Garp and his group rosy promises.
Akainu and his two companions weren't stupid either; they looked at each other, then at Garp.
Garp understood their meaning immediately and shouted, "What does it have to do with us that the Five Elders and the Holy Knights were wiped out here by the Blond Hair Pirates?"
"You can choose to be a tough navy officer or the Five Elders ' lackeys."
"Speaking of which, we don't need to outrun that brat Kazu, just outrun the Five Elders. I'm sure the Blond Hair Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates will choose the right targets."
Upon hearing Garp's words, Kizaru flashed with golden light and was the first to fly to his side.
"Within our understanding, the Blond Hair Pirates are incredibly powerful. The Five Elders and others bravely sacrificed their lives; they are truly admirable."
Aokiji had long harbored resentment towards the World Government; the seed of discontent had been planted in his heart ever since the Ohara Incident.
"Oh well, there's nothing we can do about it."
Akainu subconsciously believes that soldiers should obey orders, but compared to the future of the Navy, the Five Elders must take a backseat.
In the original story, even after Akainu became Fleet Admiral, he often argued and bickered with the Five Elders over Den Den Mushi, which shows that the Navy was Akainu's top priority.
"Hmph~"
Akainu snorted and stopped looking in the direction of the Five Elders, his attitude was already very clear.
Seeing that the Three Admirals had all made their choices, Garp grinned, then looked towards Her Kazi.
He was certain that the other party had heard every word they said.
The fact that Kazu hasn't made a move for so long, just watching the show with great interest, is irrefutable proof.
Sure enough, Kazu gave Garp a thumbs up, clearly indicating that he agreed.
Seeing Kazu's actions, the Three Admirals and Garp no longer hesitated and quickly retreated a distance.
"You bastards, how dare you let us be stabbed at a time like this!"
" The World Government will not let this go easily. Don't think that just because we're dying here, the World Government will collapse."
"The depth and power of the Celestial Dragons are beyond your imagination."
"Hmph, you naive fools, you will pay the price for your choices."
"The Navy's..."
Before the Five Elders could finish speaking, Kazu teleported in front of them, bringing Behrens, Yamato, Carlmand, Oulait, Law, Pedro, Drew, and Hancock with him.
Although only Whitebeard among them possessed Conqueror's Haki, the Five Elders had already been severely injured by Kazu's Emperor's Haki, rendering their immortality ineffective.
They could kill even Behrens, so this is a good opportunity for them to test their skills.
"Hahaha, I've grown up hearing about the World Government's reputation since I was a child. I never thought I'd actually be able to personally take down one of the Five Elders. This is amazing!"
Carlmand was incredibly excited. If this had happened when he was a child, he would have listened to it as a myth.
I never imagined he'd achieve it now; he's the king of the Celestial Dragons!
Without hesitation, Carlmand chose Saint Saturn before him; clearly, this was his chosen opponent.
"How could I be left out of this?!"
Oulait's eyes lit up; he had long had his eye on Saint Nusjuro, and the Shodai Kitetsu in Nasujuro's hands was, in Oulait's eyes, a blatant challenge.
"Then I'll reluctantly deal with this old man."
Behrens transformed into a bolt of lightning and arrived directly before Saint Mars. This giant bird could fly, and so could Mars Saint; it was a worthy opponent.
