Simultaneous travel: The group is about to be wiped out

Chapter 143 Akainu's Heartfelt Words
Hearing Chen Feng's arrogant words, Green Bull's face was full of anger, but he dared not say anything more. He could only snort coldly and look at the white flame with fear in his eyes.

After being promoted to general, he submitted a request to the other side for a duel due to rumors.

Chen Feng agreed without any hesitation.

The two then found a small island and, under the watchful eyes of many naval officers, began to fight.

That battle completely broke Green Bull, who had just transformed into his forest tree form, becoming enormous and spreading everywhere.

As a result, the fist radiating white flames slammed into his body, and the flames burned fiercely like a waterfall, directly countering him.

Indeed, Green Bull possesses the ability to create firebreaks, but this depends on the strength of the opponent's flames. Against flames stronger than its own, the effectiveness of the firebreaks is greatly reduced.

In addition, Chen Feng himself was very strong. When he went all out, three punches were enough to make Green Bull's eyes go blank.

If it weren't for the fact that he was a naval admiral, Chen Feng probably would have gone to the trouble of killing the guy outright.

Green Bull's ability to be promoted to Admiral speaks for itself; he is undeniably strong, having captured Whitebeard Jr., one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, in the anime.

Unfortunately, he was facing Chen Feng, whose abilities were countered and whose own strength was inferior, so he was naturally crushed.

After this battle, Chen Feng was also known as the second strongest man in the Navy, second only to Fleet Admiral Akainu.

Although he was not an admiral, his prestige in the navy was in no way inferior to that of the current three admirals.

Seeing that Green Bull still wouldn't leave, Chen Feng frowned, flames gathering in his hand: "I said, get lost!"

The reason for such disgust towards the other party was not only because of his mockery and bullying of the weak, but also because of his stance. This guy was inclined to support the Celestial Dragons and highly respected the World Government, which was very rare in the Navy.

A slightly authoritative voice rang out from the Marshal's office; it was Akainu.

"Alright, Green Bull, you can go now."

"Chen Feng, this is headquarters. Stop fooling around and come in."

Upon hearing this, Green Bull snorted coldly, moved quickly, and left the area.

Chen Feng didn't delay any longer, opened the door, and went inside.

At this moment, Akainu, dressed in a navy uniform, sat in a chair with a cigar in his mouth.

Without a doubt, Akainu's strength is absolutely formidable now, as seen in the anime when he battled Aokiji for the position of Fleet Admiral.

The explanation given was that after ten days and ten nights, Aokiji was defeated, and Akainu showed mercy, not delivering a fatal blow.

It is speculated that Akainu's current strength is probably comparable to Shanks'.

Chen Feng took out some documents and materials and handed them over.

"The rebellion in the Kingdom of Ruoshaya has been suppressed. The revolutionaries were the ones who started the war, and that has been dealt with."

After saying this, Chen Feng turned to leave before Akainu could speak.

Seeing this, Akainu raised his head and said, "Chen Feng, wait a moment, I have something I want to talk to you about."

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng stopped, nodded, leaned back in his chair, and rubbed his forehead.

"Marshal, just tell me straight, what kind of ideological work are you going to do for me this time?"

He felt no aversion to Akainu, and it must be said that as Fleet Admiral, he had indeed done a good job.

After Chen Feng began to show his talent, he was not suppressed at all because he was a member of Garp's faction. Instead, he was carefully taught several times.

Indeed, even Chen Feng didn't expect that the ruthless Akainu in the anime would find him and teach him some combat skills and some key points to improve his strength.

This seems utterly impossible to the senses...

Seeing Chen Feng like this, even the usually cold-blooded Akainu couldn't help but feel a bit of a headache. He had talked to this guy many times, but he always acted like a dead pig that wasn't afraid of boiling water.

He sighed, took the cigar out of his mouth, and his expression softened, a rare occurrence for him.

"I know you have a problem with the World Government and the Navy, especially the Celestial Dragons, which is the main reason why you don't want to be a Navy Admiral."

"To tell you the truth, I am also dissatisfied with the Celestial Dragons and the World Government, but there is nothing I can do. Our navy's funding in all aspects is controlled by the government. Whether it is scientific and technological research and development or the allocation of military funds, we need the government's support. This is why we have always been restricted."

"Furthermore, you don't understand that the power of the World Government is not as simple as we imagine; their hidden strength far exceeds our imagination."

Hearing this, Chen Feng raised an eyebrow. Having watched the anime, he knew the power of the World Government. The Five Elders, Im, and the Knights of God combined were indeed comparable to, or even surpassed, the Navy in terms of high-end combat strength, especially with the big boss Im.

There are many different opinions about the Five Elders' fighting strength in the past, and each has its own reasons. However, in terms of performance, Mercury's performance in the manga is very strong. Luffy's fifth-gear punch did not break through his defense.

It's worth noting that even Kaido would be affected by a single punch from Gear Fifth Luffy. Add to that the fact that these five guys are immortal, and they are indeed quite troublesome.

But I never expected that Akainu would be willing to say these things to me now.

After saying these words, Akainu seemed to have thought of something, and his tone became tinged with anger.

"Furthermore, our navy is not united at all. Take the previous Marineford War for example. If everyone had gone all out, how could it have turned out like that? How could so many people have died?"

"Putting everything else aside, if Kuzan and Kizaru had just tried their best, this situation wouldn't have happened. Even if Garp and Sengoku hadn't intervened, the three of us working together could have stabilized the situation."

"And what was the result? After fighting for so long, only I put in the effort. A bunch of bastards didn't consider any consequences at all. They didn't know how much damage Whitebeard would do to the Navy's prestige if he rescued Ace, how many pirates would be created, and how much impact it would have on the world."

"I've spent quite a bit of time with those two guys, so I'm naturally very clear about their combat strength. And yet, Kuzan still had the nerve to stand up and oppose me becoming the Fleet Admiral. If he had become the Fleet Admiral, what would the entire Navy have become!?"

Snapped! ! !
At this point, Akainu slammed his fist on the table, expressing his anger.

Chen Feng fell silent, neither agreeing nor disagreeing. Indeed, that was the truth. During the Marineford War, many netizens jokingly said that only Akainu was truly dedicated to the high-end combat power of the entire navy, while the other two admirals were just slacking off.

If it weren't for Akainu's intervention, Whitebeard would likely have been able to rescue Ace and escape with his men. After his initial anger subsided, Akainu calmed down, leaning back in his seat and looking at the young man before him, Chen Feng, currently the Navy's most outstanding talent. At such a young age, he already possessed the strength of an Admiral or a Yonko, but unfortunately, he had always been unwilling to assume the role of Admiral and make greater contributions to the Navy.

“Chen Feng, I know what you’re thinking, but you have to understand that the current situation isn’t necessarily bad. It’s true that what the Celestial Dragons and the World Government are doing is disgusting, but what can we do? We’re restricted everywhere, and there’s internal discord.”

"As the Admiral of the Navy, I have to fulfill this responsibility. Reform may not succeed and may even lead to war, resulting in more deaths. At present, only by maintaining stability can we bring peace."

"I hope you can understand my predicament."

After Akainu finished speaking, Chen Feng sighed softly, stood up, and nodded.

"Marshal, I understand, but I'm sorry, my mind is made up and I won't change it easily."

After saying these words, he turned and left.

Seeing this, Akainu knew that his persuasion had failed again. He picked up his cigar, took a deep drag, exhaled a long plume of smoke, leaned back in his chair, and watched Chen Feng's departing figure, lost in thought.

He couldn't accuse the other party of anything. As a Marine, Chen Feng had already done enough and made enough contributions. He had suppressed rebellions, captured wicked pirates, and even stood up against Big Mom's pirate crew, greatly enhancing the prestige of the Marines.

…………

Naval Headquarters.

Inside a room, a table is laden with delicious food, and a large fan above it keeps spinning.

Chen Feng sat down, picked up a wine glass, drank the wine in it, his eyes thoughtful, seemingly lost in thought.

Meanwhile, Garp, Tina, Jin Han, and the nominee for Grand Prize, Cha Tun, were all here; this was a regular gathering of Garp's faction.

Jin Han swallowed a piece of roasted meat and asked indistinctly, "Boss, Akainu has been calling you for so long, what, does he still want you to be an admiral?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the people around who were eating meat all turned their gazes toward them.

Chen Feng nodded: "That's right, but I still refused. After all, the position of general is too troublesome. It's more practical to be a lieutenant general. Besides, the position of general is just so-so. It doesn't really matter whether I become a general or not."

Garp chuckled and patted the other man on the shoulder: "Good lad, not bad at all, you really understand my temperament."

Tina, sitting next to him, twitched her lips. Upon hearing this, she immediately raised her hand and lightly tapped Chen Feng on the head.

"Heh, would you die if you didn't brag? You beat me up before, and you ran into Shanks, now you have time to tell us all about it."

Chaton, who also had a cigarette dangling from his mouth, quickly nodded, his eyes full of curiosity: "Yes, I'm very curious too. Tell us about it."

Jin Han, who was standing to the side, was completely unrestrained in front of his acquaintances. He quickly gestured, "Come, come, let me tell you about how we happened to run into Red Hair's ship back then."

"Haha, our boss is really domineering. Even when facing one of the Four Emperors, he still made us bring the ship closer. After that, our boss personally fought Shanks with one move."

"After one move, the other side realized that we were not to be trifled with, so they both stopped fighting. Later, they even invited our boss for drinks."

Upon hearing this news, the group of people sitting together were all shocked. Chaton even dropped the cigarette from his mouth: "What's going on? A Yonko inviting the Navy for drinks? Are you kidding me?"

Just as everyone was discussing, a tall, beautiful woman wearing a cloak hurriedly opened the door and walked in. She was wearing shorts, revealing her fair, long legs and an enviable figure.

Vice Admiral and Admiral Candidate Momousagi Gion of the Marine Headquarters entered and immediately called out:
"Mr. Garp, according to the latest news, Kaido and Big Mom have their eyes on your grandson, Straw Hat Luffy."

This statement reveals that anyone in the Navy with any skill can clearly see that Luffy is Garp's grandson.

Someone joked before that for Luffy's wedding, the entire Navy except for Akainu would attend...

Upon hearing these words, Garp remained calm, took a bite of the chicken leg, and laughed heartily.

Chaton lit another cigarette and took a deep drag: "Oh, so it seems the two of them have seized a good opportunity. Now that the World Conference has begun, the navy's defenses are weak, and no one is worried about them anymore."

"By the way, Chen Feng, you'll also be transferred there to be on guard duty, right?"

Reaching out to take the wine Tina offered, Chen Feng took a sip and shook his head: "I'm not sure. You all know my personality. I absolutely despise those bastard Celestial Dragons. If it weren't for Akainu last time, I probably would have already attacked them."

"So this time, I'm not too sure if Akainu will send me over."

Last time, due to an accident, Chen Feng encountered the Celestial Dragons, which led to a conflict. He couldn't hold back and slapped them away, but knowing his own limitations, he held back and didn't kill them.

After this incident, Chen Feng was punished. He had some money deducted, was scolded, and received a stern verbal warning. After that, the matter was dropped.

What else could they do? The Five Elders ordered Chen Feng killed? Did they really think the Admirals' strength was nothing but a joke? Forcing away an extremely powerful Admiral for the sake of an ordinary Celestial Dragon? They wanted to maintain the Celestial Dragons' dignity, but they weren't stupid; they had many things to consider.

After all, the navy is also concerned with maintaining its own rule, and it would naturally not do something that would damage its own strength.

After Momousagi sat down, she said, "They will probably send you there. After all, the World Conference is a very important event, and we must do a good job in security. As Fleet Admiral, Akainu cannot be moved lightly, so it is very likely that they will send you."

"Hey, Chen Feng, you'd better keep your temper in check and don't hit those Celestial Dragons again. Once is fine, but if it happens too often, it might be hard to explain."

Chen Feng nodded, indicating that he understood. As long as they didn't provoke him, he wouldn't go out of his way to cause trouble for those Celestial Dragons.

After that, the group started talking about other things related to the navy.

Naval Headquarters, by the lake, Chen Feng and Tina walked side by side.

Gazing at the lake, Tina gently gathered her pink hair in front of her eyes, her expression unusually soft. Looking at Chen Feng beside her, a glint of starlight flashed in her eyes.

If other naval soldiers saw this, they would probably be very surprised. After all, Tina has always been decisive and efficient. As a Rear Admiral, she is quite capable and very strict with herself and her subordinates. Yet now she is showing such a romantic attitude.

Seeing this, Chen Feng chuckled, reached out and ruffled Tina's hair, pulled her into his arms, and quietly gazed at the scenery ahead.

…………

A day later, the order was issued. In the end, Akainu made his decision: with the World Government Summit about to convene, he would send Chen Feng to Mary Geoise to ensure security.
