Starting with One Piece, a Multiverse Simulation

The "Seven Warlords of the Sea" are pirates recognized by the World Government. Strictly speaking, they also belong to the World Government's forces. However, Akainu doesn't care about the so-called "Seven Warlords of the Sea" at all. Because he has an extreme sense of justice, in his eyes, no matter how nice the title of the Seven Warlords of the Sea sounds, they are still pirates.

Pirates are evil. It's already a favor that Akainu didn't go after you. Do you really expect him to help a pirate?

If this gets out, where will Akainu, the new Fleet Admiral, put his face?

However, Doflamingo's reason for seeking help was quite valid, because in addition to his identity as one of the "Seven Warlords of the Sea," he also had another identity: the King of Dressresreza.

Unlike Amazon Lily of Amazon Lily, Dressressa is a member state of the World Government. They paid a huge amount of protection money, like the Celestial Gold. Now that he is the king of Dressressa, his life is threatened by evil forces, so seeking the protection of the Navy is not unreasonable, is it?

Upon hearing Doflamingo's reason, Akainu wished he could punch Doflamingo directly in the face.

Threatened by evil forces? How clean is Doflamingo's own backside? On the entire ocean, how many guys are more wicked than Doflamingo?

Despite his considerable displeasure, Fleet Admiral Akainu ultimately had no choice but to compromise with the Five Elders, as Doflamingo's reasons were quite compelling, thus ordering the Navy to provide him with full support.

The member states of the World Government are the money bags of the world's nobles. The downfall of Dressres and Doflamingo is a minor matter. The key issue is that if the other member states see that the World Government is not helping Dressres, how will they collect protection money in the future... ptooey, how will they collect heavenly gold?

Akainu was furious when he returned from Mary Geoise. It is said that he smashed three of his desks. Now he finally understands why the former Fleet Admiral Sengoku was known as a "wise general" but he was so quick to lose his temper.

It's not just because of Vice Admiral Garp, but because being a Fleet Admiral is a job that even a human could do.

Akainu used to think that as long as he became the Fleet Admiral, he could be in charge and make the entire Marine Headquarters implement his justice.

As a result, during this period of time, Akainu even thought that the Fleet Admiral was not as good as his former Admiral.

Although he was second only to the Marine Headquarters, he still lived a life of luxury. Apart from Sengoku, Akainu didn't have to worry about anyone's feelings. Sometimes, when he was in a bad mood, he could even go out and kill a few pirate crews to vent his anger and clean up the trash on the sea.

But now, having gone from a Marine Admiral to a Fleet Admiral, he is indeed above everyone else at Marine Headquarters, but in the Holy Land of Mary Geoise, he still has to be a dog for a group of Celestial Dragons and a son to five old guys.

Those who know him might think he's a Marine Admiral, while those who don't might think Akainu is going to find a father figure!

Especially now, Akainu hates pirates the most, but under pressure from the World Government, he has to compromise and send people to protect the guy he hates the most.

Seeing Doflamingo's arrogant demeanor as he left Marine Headquarters, Akainu even considered resigning as Fleet Admiral on the spot and killing Doflamingo directly.

"Kizaru, do you have any aspirations to become Fleet Admiral?"

Watching Doflamingo leave, Akainu turned to Kizaru, who was watching the show and drinking tea, and asked him a question.

Upon realizing Akainu's thoughts, Kizaru retorted, "Fleet Admiral, don't joke around. I don't want to end up like Kuzan, having my legs shortened by you..."

After leaving those words, Kizaru immediately made a hasty retreat, and even used his Devil Fruit ability to avoid being blamed.

Just kidding, in the entire Marine Headquarters, only Kizaru sees things most clearly... no, Garp is one too, as for the others, they're all idiots.

Is the position of Admiral of the Navy so easy to hold? In terms of salary, Admiral of the Navy does earn more than Admiral of the Navy, but the difference is definitely not significant.

However, the duties of a naval admiral are many times greater than those of a naval admiral.

On the surface, the Fleet Admiral is indeed the head of the Navy Headquarters, but this also means that no matter what kind of trouble the World Government gets into in the future, you will have to take the blame.

Moreover, as the admiral of the navy, he is usually the one to take the blame for any mistakes that occur on the navy's side.

The former Fleet Admirals of the Sengoku period were known as "wise generals," and they often went through premature menopause because they had to clean up their messes. Now, in Kizaru's opinion, Akainu's stage might be even earlier than that of the former Fleet Admirals of the Sengoku period.

After all, putting aside combat strength, Akainu's intelligence is really no match for Sengoku's.

Being a Marine Admiral is great. You don't have to do small things, you don't have to take the blame for big things, you can just lie around all day, and your salary arrives on time. With such good benefits, Kizaru really has no reason to give it up and become a punching bag like a Fleet Admiral.

Even now, he still doesn't understand why Aokiji and Akainu would fight each other over such a trivial position.

He used to think that Aokiji's awareness was very good. When it comes to slacking off, Kizaru is undoubtedly the champion in the Marine Headquarters, but Aokiji is not much better than him. This time, for the position of Fleet Admiral, he actually fought Akainu so hard and even lost a leg.

To get back to the point, Doflamingo had long anticipated that Wood would target him and the Donquixote Family, and had made thorough preparations.

But Doflamingo didn't expect Wood to act so quickly.

Currently, his three-pronged approach is still in the preparation stage for the competition with the Flaming Fruit as the prize. The news has only been released recently, and the fish that have taken the bait have not yet swum over.

It seems there's a problem on Punk Hazard's side as well. If Caesar runs into trouble, his plan to gain the protection of two Yonko will fall through.

As for the Navy, it is said that the Navy Headquarters will indeed send one of its top combatants this time. However, Doflamingo has never even heard of this guy named "Fujitora" before, and he has no idea what level he is at.

No, the key issue now is no longer about how skilled this "Fujitora" is, but that Wood's people had already arrived on the island before he even reached Dressressa!

By hanging threads above the clouds, using this extremely unscientific explanation, Doflamingo could easily achieve the feat of flying outwards.

As he strode arrogantly to the bay in Dressresreza, he saw a horse-faced man wearing a black woolen hat and an eye patch on his forehead, who had parked his bicycle on the shore and locked it securely.

"Admiral Aokiji, it's been a long time. I never imagined that you would fall to such a state after leaving the Marine Headquarters."

Or is it that the Wood Arms Company you joined is now facing bankruptcy and can't even afford to provide you with a ship?

It seems our General Aokiji isn't highly regarded at Wood Arms Company. In that case, he might as well come to our Don Quixote family.

Compared to Wood, that guy who doesn't know how to value talent, I quite admire Admiral Aokiji. If you join our clan, you can choose any leadership position you like. What do you say, Admiral Aokiji?

When Doflamingo first heard his subordinates report that Aokiji had appeared in the waters off Dressressa, he was honestly quite flustered, because he was worried that Wood would attack him before he could complete his preparations.

But when he actually arrived there and saw Aokiji, Doflamingo instantly calmed down.

Because Aokiji did come to Dressressa, but he was all alone; there was no one else there.

Not to mention Wood, even Nico Robin and Ruth, the second-in-commands of Dark Island, didn't come here.

Aokiji is indeed very strong, but not strong enough to defeat him and his Don Quixote family on his own.

The Aokiji couldn't do it before, and now that it's missing a leg, it's even less able to do it.

Wood is Doflamingo's most troublesome enemy, and he has never gained the upper hand against Wood since they started dealing with him.

Just as Wood understood him, so did he. If Wood really wanted to harm him, he would never have sent Aokiji alone.

Furthermore, based on his intelligence, he also knew that Aokiji had not been well received on Dark Island during this period.

Wood hadn't decided to take decisive action against him yet, but Aokiji had arrived in Dressressa, so the other party's intentions were rather intriguing.

"I am no longer a naval admiral, and my status is not much different from yours now."

"Oh, that's not quite right either. Although I left the Navy, Wood Arms Company isn't exactly a pirate organization, so there's a fundamental difference between us. I'm an ordinary person now, while you're a pirate."

Upon hearing what Aokiji said, Doflamingo's face also showed a mocking expression, and he said, "Aokiji, you don't need to deceive yourself. The things your Wood Weapons Company does are no better than those so-called pirates."

Selling massive amounts of arms all over the world, your boss, Wood, is the world's largest arms dealer, and you, working for him, are like his henchmen. Is this the justice you've always touted?

Your role reversal really brought out the sarcastic tone instantly.

Hearing Doflamingo's sarcasm, Aokiji didn't want to argue with him anymore. Having been an undercover agent on Dark Island for over a year, Aokiji had managed to rise to a high-ranking position, but he wasn't useless. It was impossible for him to be completely unaware of the situation on Dark Island and Wood Weapons Company.

Wood Arms Company appears to be the world's largest arms company, and it does indeed sell weapons around the world, reaping huge profits.

However, over the past year, Aokiji on the island has also discovered many things that are unknown to people outside the island.

Ironically, the places where Wood Arms Company placed the largest orders were the least frequent locations of conflict.

At first, Aokiji was quite puzzled by this. In his mind, weapons were meant for fighting, and the purpose of buying weapons was to improve combat effectiveness.

So why do the countries that order weapons from them fight fewer wars the more weapons they buy?

Later, after getting to know the island better, Aokiji finally got the answer from the naval soldiers who had defected with Wood.

"In Captain Wood's words, this is called an arms race."

In the past, these kingdoms fought fiercely because everyone's equipment was relatively backward. Once a war broke out, it was all about who had more people.

But with the advent of our Wood Arms Company's high-tech weapons, wars based on the number of people have become meaningless.

What was originally a melee combat has gradually evolved into an arms race. There is no need for war to break out; as long as the two sides reveal the quantity and sophistication of their military equipment before the battle, the outcome of the war can be basically determined.

Therefore, rather than letting soldiers die in a war they cannot win, it is better to let these laborers create benefits, upgrade the kingdom's military, and increase its national strength.

If this continues, the old war pattern will begin to change. Neither side in a conflict wants to suffer casualties, lest a third party take advantage of them.

The modern form of warfare is about showcasing one's military reserves; whoever possesses more and more advanced weaponry demonstrates greater power and a more prosperous kingdom.

Upon hearing what the naval soldier said, Aokiji's worldview was instantly shattered.

He never imagined that an arms dealer could indirectly sell the world to another extreme of "peace".

Moreover, Aokiji was thinking that Wood might do this not only for the innocent civilians of this world, but also for himself.

It is conceivable what position Wood and his "Wood Arms Company" would hold in the world once this new mode of warfare spreads throughout the world.

The whole world will be eagerly waiting for Wood to develop new weapons and will be stuffing money into his hands.

However, these are secondary. More importantly, once this new mode of warfare becomes widespread in the world, it will also create a protective umbrella for Wood and the weapons company.

The reason why those kingdoms in the world that are currently in constant turmoil have not gone to war is because they are all upgrading their military equipment to prevent being surpassed by their rivals.

What would happen to the world if Wood Arms went bankrupt one day and no one was able to develop new technological weapons?

Undoubtedly, this fragile balance established by Wood Arms will be shattered in an instant, plunging the entire world into immense turmoil.

Moreover, this upheaval will far exceed the minor skirmishes of the past; it will be a large-scale war that truly affects the entire world.

Everyone is busy upgrading their equipment. If there are no more people selling equipment, those top players who have upgraded their equipment to the maximum level will naturally think that the time is ripe and start to target weaker opponents.

Since everyone's equipment is now vastly different from what it used to be, the consequences of this war are predictable!

Whether the World Government remains firmly in power or the Revolutionary Army seizes power, Wood Arms Company will maintain its unparalleled status.

Neither the World Government nor the Revolutionary Army wanted the Wood Arms Company to collapse, because that would plunge the world into chaos, something those in power did not want to see.

Once Wood Arms Company collapses, the world's arms race will instantly spiral out of control, like a runaway horse.
