A tense atmosphere instantly filled the entire room, creating a strangely oppressive feeling.
Seeing the Ryokugyu suddenly step forward and Kamui its power just now, everyone's nerves immediately tightened.
This scene represents a power struggle between the new and the old Admiral.
No naval soldier wanted to see this.
They knew how strong Bai Yu was.
However, as Ryokugyu said, the two sides are now on different paths and cannot work together. They do not want to take action against Bai Yu, nor do they want to see Ryokugyu, who now represents the face of the Marine Headquarters, lose.
However, such a win-win situation is clearly wishful thinking.
Smoker, with a cigar in his mouth, also fell silent.
As Marine Vice Admiral, he should rightfully stand on the same side as Ryokugyu.
However, he now looked hesitant.
" Smoker, don't forget your place. The current War Demon Bai Yu is a pirate with a bounty of 5 billion Beli. If you dare to have other ideas at this critical juncture because of past relationships, I doubt whether you are qualified to be a Marine Vice Admiral."
"Of course, once we welcome our second new Marine Admiral, there won't be any more opportunities for you as Marine Vice Admiral."
Rob Lucci spoke coldly.
Faced with this man who repeatedly pinned her to the ground and humiliated her.
Rob Lucci wished Bai Yu would completely break ties with his former subordinates.
Perhaps this won't cause Bai Yu any real harm.
At least it can disgust people.
" Rob Lucci, I thought CP0 was so powerful, but it turns out he's just Joker only knows how to use underhanded tricks." Tashigi shouted urgently, her pretty face ashen.
At the same time, he gripped the Kashu tightly in his hand, locking his aura onto Rob Lucci.
" Tashigi, don't be impulsive," Smoker said in a deep voice, shaking his head.
" Rob Lucci, you don't need to waste time with your nonsense. As Marine Vice Admiral, of course I know what I should and shouldn't do."
"If the Ryokugyu' Admiral needs my help, I won't hesitate for a second."
"I believe in Bai Yu, and I really want to see this happen."
Bai Yu smiled and took a swig of his drink.
"That's well said. No wonder he's the guy who's suffered under my thumb."
"I'd prefer you all come together; that would be more interesting."
mad!
With a single word, he took down all the navy personnel present, not even sparing Marine Admiral.
If anyone else possessed this kind of confidence, Rob Lucci would simply laugh it off.
However, the person he is facing now War Demon Bai Yu, whom some busybodies call the Pirate Emperor.
Who dares to underestimate them?
At least, Rob Lucci couldn't do it.
However, not wanting to lose face, Rob Lucci's expression immediately darkened.
He still forced himself to speak.
" Bai Yu, you are as arrogant as ever. However, I hope that next time, your arrogance will be just as strong when facing the two new Admiral."
"Your Marine Admiral doesn't mean there's no one on this high seas who can replace you."
" Ryokugyu, let me fight you in place of the captain. He's too busy to fight, and it's been a long time since we've fought." Fujitora, dressed in a purple robe, emerged from the shadows of the Groseade, leaning on his cane.
He walked straight to Bai Yu's side and looked up at Ryokugyu.
The vast battlefield fell into a deathly silence.
Upon seeing this uninvited figure, everyone's pupils suddenly contracted.
Many people even quickly pulled out a front-page newspaper from not long ago.
After glancing around a couple more times and comparing himself to Fujitora Issho, he finally showed a look of utter disbelief, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets.
" Byrnndi Jack, what's going on? Why has everyone's expression changed?"
World caught his breath; the choices made by Byrnndi Jack and the others during that life-or-death moment had undoubtedly resolved his inner conflict.
"Yes... yes, he's a candidate selected through the Marine Admiral's World Military Draft!"
Byrnndi Jack, leaning on his cane, said with a similarly surprised expression.
"If I remember correctly, this blind man is Fujitora, the second candidate for Admiral that CP0 just mentioned."
"But Fujitora just called War Demon Bai Yu the captain and even challenged Ryokugyu to a fight. Doesn't this mean that Bai Yu has poached a member of the Navy?"
" The World Government has been outmaneuvered by Fujitora Issho, the candidate for the new Admiral of the Navy."
Rob Lucci's face turned ashen; witnessing this scene, he was utterly humiliated.
Is this the wrong film set?
Otherwise, why would Fujitora, who was clearly a candidate for the World Military Draft, become Bai Yu's subordinate?
" Lucci, it seems that CP0 is really just a dispensable dog in the eyes of the Five Elders. They already knew three days ago that I was following Captain Bai Yu. I didn't expect that they wouldn't even tell you such important information."
Fujitora Issho and raised an eyebrow.
"However, that doesn't stop me from fighting Ryokugyu. Or are you planning to get involved as well?"
you!
The Rob Lucci tale has ended.
There was nothing to refute about what he had just said.
Now even Fujitora Issho, who was selected as a candidate for the World Military Draft, has personally admitted it.
Does he still have the right to question?
However, thinking of the real purpose this time, Rob Lucci clenched his fists again and shouted urgently.
" Admiral Ryokugyu, I'll stand guard for you and lend you a helping hand."
The appearance of Bai Yu and the Fujitora Issho have now completely exceeded Rob Lucci's control.
Killing World will likely be even more difficult.
The only solution is to incite the Marine Headquarters to take action against Bai Yu, whom they once admired.
In this way, it can be considered as barely helping him vent his anger.
"No need, I can manage on my own." Ryokugyu shook his head, directly refusing Rob Lucci's offer.
" Fujitora, I knew you would accept his invitation."
"However, I'd like to know why you chose him instead of the Marine Headquarters."
"Could you let me fight Bai Yu for the sake of our past relationship?"
"Don't worry, even if I wanted to kill your captain, you'd probably think it's impossible."
"I just want to know how much of a gap there is between him and me that needs to be narrowed."
As he spoke, the tree trunk beneath Ryokugyu's feet rapidly unfurled once more.
Ultimately, a Wood Dragon was formed, with the Ryokugyu standing quietly on its head.
The thousand-meter-long dragon still gives people a feeling of blotting out the sky.
Watching the techniques used to defeat World Destroyer World, they were eager to know how Bai Yu would respond.
"Captain..." Fujitora subconsciously looked at Bai Yu.
Bai Yu took a swig of his drink, smiled, and patted Fujitora on the shoulder.
"Perfect timing. Since this is our first time facing the Marine Headquarters, I don't want any deaths. So, leave the rest to me and Ryokugyu."
Let's decide the outcome in a split second.
