Even though Aokiji left the Navy, many people still respect him greatly and regard him as a figure of faith.
However, when he encountered his former idol here again, Aokiji's identity had changed from a Marine to a pirate... no, although Wood Weapons Company wasn't exactly a pirate company, it wasn't much different from pirates in reality.
The navy on the island was naturally filled with mixed feelings as they faced the very objects of their former admiration and longing, now forced to confront them with swords.
Actually, let alone these marines, even Aokiji, who appeared calm on the surface, was actually feeling very complicated about the current situation.
Especially when looking at Fujitora opposite him, the new top combatant of the Navy Headquarters who was selected through the "World Draft".
A former admiral versus a current admiral—this is a scenario that is absolutely unprecedented even in the history of the entire ocean.
However, Aokiji was not happy at all about this historic situation, and he had even cursed Wood in his heart countless times.
Aokiji shouldn't have been here, because with Violet's help, he had already figured out Doflamingo's tricks and was preparing to close the net.
However, at this moment, Aokiji suddenly received a Den Den Mushi call from Wood and was ordered to immediately go to the North Coast to rescue Caesar and Monet.
In Den Den Mushi, Wood emphasized the importance of Caesar and Monet, surpassing the importance of Doflamingo and Dressrosa. Therefore, out of necessity, Aokiji had no choice but to put aside his affairs there and appear here.
As for why Wood knew about what happened in the North Sea case, there was naturally a reason.
The part of the story where Law, together with Caesar and Monet, ambushed Doflamingo has deviated from the original plot, so Wood, as a time traveler, could not have foreseen it.
But don't forget, Wood also has connections in the Navy, and he was secretly sent to Dressrosa this time as well.
After receiving a secret message from Aokiji, Fleet Admiral Akainu of the Marine Headquarters naturally learned about Doflamingo and Dressrosa's situation.
Furthermore, considering that the "Four Emperors" might be involved, along with the large number of pirates on the island and two "Shichibukai," Akainu believed that sending only one Marine Admiral, Fujitora, might not be enough to control the situation.
So after some hesitation, Akainu made another arrangement. He first sent Fujitora and nearly a thousand marines in several warships to land on Dressrosa under the pretext of supporting them.
Fujitora and the navy with these warships were only displaying their surface strength. On the other side, Akainu had also arranged for Momousagi, who had now risen to the rank of admiral, and her adjutant, Rear Admiral Ain, to secretly land in Dressrosa.
Regardless of whether the Big Mom Pirates or the Beasts Pirates were ultimately drawn into the Dressrosa battle because of Doflamingo, Akainu believed that with the two Marine Headquarters' top combat forces, they were more than capable of wiping out all the pirates on the island, including the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
Even if Big Mom and Kaido of the Beasts arrived at the same time, they still have their secret agent, Aokiji.
If necessary, Akainu will also send Aokiji to take action. With two current Marine Admirals and one former Marine Admiral, this lineup of three Admirals would likely defeat even two Yonko.
Akainu was extremely confident in his entire plan, even believing that his actions were comparable to those of the previous "strategist" Fleet Admiral Sengoku.
If this plan can be executed perfectly, the loss of one or two Yonko and a large number of pirates on the high seas will undoubtedly greatly reduce the pirate force on the high seas.
Furthermore, Akainu's prestige as Fleet Admiral will instantly rise, and no one will dare to question his decision anymore.
Who would dare say that Akainu is like a mad dog, only capable of biting pirates? He makes a living with his brains, okay?
It must be said that Akainu's move was theoretically perfect.
Barring any major mishaps, the combined strength of the three Marine Admirals would be more than enough to wipe out all the pirates in Dressrosa.
Including the Straw Hat Pirates who shone brightly in the Marineford War, as well as the Seven Warlords of the Sea Doflamingo and Trafalgar Law, who, if they're lucky, can even dethrone one of the Four Emperors.
Akainu probably never dreamed that a perfectly good shonen anime would be turned into a spy thriller. He was able to send Aokiji to infiltrate Wood, but he didn't expect that Wood also had people in the Navy, such as a certain Navy Rear Admiral who was extremely loyal to the Navy.
The ninja theater next door, also known as "Eye Ninja," is now the pirate world that Wood is in, which can definitely be called "Spy Pirates."
Wood was originally a Marine, but Sengoku sent him to the high seas as a pirate spy, and by a twist of fate he became a powerful figure in the region.
Then Sengoku arranged for Corazon to infiltrate the Don Quixote family, but he failed for various reasons.
The World Government also arranged for Stussy to infiltrate the underworld, and even now, Wood and Stussy still maintain some contact.
Then, after Akainu took over, he arranged for Aokiji to infiltrate him, who already held the rank of Marine Vice Admiral. Monet was an undercover agent he had placed in the Donquixote Family, and Ain was his own undercover agent within the Marines...
What was supposed to be a great, action-packed anime has suddenly changed its style after Sengoku sent Wood out as an undercover agent.
If you changed that line "I'm going to be the Pirate King" to "I'm going to be the strongest traitor," it would be a completely different anime.
Of course, these are all digressions. What Wood is trying to say is that this kind of spy war, similar to Infernal Affairs, is all about who has more intelligence, and in this respect, there is clearly no one on the entire ocean who is better than Wood.
Because of his other adopted sister, Ian, Wood knew that Caesar and Monet would be ambushed by Fujitora, so he sent Aokiji to join the fun.
As for Aokiji's undercover identity, given the terrible price he had paid for it, the fewer people who knew about it, the better. So even the new admiral Fujitora, and even the other admiral Momousagi who was on the island at the moment, were unaware of the reason behind it.
So at this moment, facing Fujitora and the other marines, Aokiji was also conflicted. As a current executive of "Wood Weapons Company", his presence here undoubtedly put him on the opposite side of the Navy.
Choose to take action. Putting aside the newly appointed Admiral Fujitora for now, countless other ordinary naval soldiers will surely die.
But if he doesn't intervene, how will he rescue Monet and Caesar? And if he does nothing, Wood will become suspicious.
"I thought you would choose other ways to uphold your justice, but I never expected that you would choose to collude with pirates in the end."
It's fortunate that you can't see; otherwise, I really wouldn't have been able to resist turning my blade against you.
Clearly, Fujitora wanted to attack Aokiji, but considering the many subordinates behind him who might be killed in the process, he restrained himself from the impulse.
A battle at the level of a Marine Admiral would affect not only this area, but even the entire island. Therefore, although Fujitora wanted to see what the former Marine Admiral was capable of, he ultimately did not take the initiative to attack.
Seeing that Fujitora didn't make a move, Aokiji breathed a huge sigh of relief and secretly rejoiced that his opponent wasn't a Marine like Akainu who hated pirates so much; otherwise, if a fight had really broken out, it would have been very difficult to end.
"I have no intention of fighting with you. I only came here to take Monet and Caesar away."
Furthermore, strictly speaking, our Wood Weapons Company isn't exactly a pirate company. Even if you were the Navy, you couldn't arrest us without special circumstances, could you?
Fujitora did not choose to take action immediately, which meant that negotiation was possible, so Aokiji also stated his purpose at the same time.
Although Violet had agreed to help him by using the "Gaze-Gaze Fruit" ability to see through Wood's mind, Aokiji did not hastily choose to betray him here.
Regardless of whether Violet's Devil Fruit ability would have any effect on Wood, even if it did, Aokiji believed that his current identity would still be somewhat useful.
To switch sides here just to eliminate Monet and Caesar, two harmless nobodys, is, in Aokiji's opinion, a huge loss.
"Mr. Aokiji, do you still think of yourself as the former Marine Admiral? Do you think you can just take whoever you want?"
Before Fujitora could respond to Aokiji's request, Doflamingo had already started mocking him. He had gone to great lengths to turn the tables, luring Law and the others into a trap and successfully using the Marines as pawns. Now Aokiji wanted to take them away with just a few words. What did he take Doflamingo for?
Especially Monet, Caesar, and Law. Doflamingo hates traitors the most. If he lets these three leave here alive, how will he, Doflamingo, survive on the high seas in the future?
"Sure, but don't forget, don't think you can be this lucky every time. If I run into you again, I will show no mercy."
Seeing Fujitora readily agree to Aokiji's request, Doflamingo immediately put on another extreme facial expression and glared at Fujitora, saying, "You're the Marines, aren't you? Now these pirates have come to my island and are wreaking havoc everywhere, even threatening me, the King of Dressrosa."
Now you're actually planning to let them take the person away just because of such a casual remark!
"Are you saying that just because Aokiji was a former admiral in your navy, you're now giving him special treatment?!"
If Fujitora didn't intervene, not only would he not be able to save Monet and the others, but Doflamingo himself would be defeated by Aokiji. Therefore, Doflamingo was naturally quite unhappy with Fujitora's attempt to settle things peacefully.
"Doflamingo, please don't forget that even though you are one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, you are still a pirate. If we're going to wipe out all the pirates, you are no exception."
Even if you are the king of Dressrosa, and this is your territory, it is not your place to order our navy around.
Just as my former colleague said, the organization they belong to, "Wood Arms Company," is a neutral force at sea, and we have no reason to arrest them.
If you insist that they pose a threat to the Kingdom of Drosrosa, then please provide evidence.
If there is evidence proving that they do indeed pose a threat to the Kingdom of Drosrosa, then our navy will naturally handle the matter impartially.
When Doflamingo heard what Fujitora said, he was furious. He never expected that this admiral, who was promoted through the "World Military Draft," would not only be strong but also quite intelligent.
These words were perfectly watertight, leaving Doflamingo with no chance to retaliate.
"Fine! If you insist on saying that Caesar and Monet are from Wood Weapons Company, I'll accept that. Law is one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, but what about the other two Straw Hat Pirate brats?"
They're real pirates, aren't they? Are you just going to ignore them too?
"What pirates are you talking about? I am blind, so I can't see any of the pirates you're talking about."
Fujitora greatly admired Zoro and Kaji from before, and since Aokiji clearly wanted to take Zoro and the others with him, Fujitora naturally wouldn't risk a complete falling out with Aokiji over just two pirates.
"You old geezer..."
Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Doflamingo had no other choice but to be filled with rage.
Because there are currently three forces gathered here. The first force is Fujitora and the Navy, the second force is Aokiji and Law, and the third force is just him alone.
If he had a strong and well-equipped army, Doflamingo would naturally not have let it go so easily. But the key point is that he is currently the weakest party, and he is only able to stand here safely because of Fujitora and the Navy.
So at this moment, Fujitora decided to let things go. Even if Doflamingo was very unhappy, he could only watch helplessly as Aokiji took away Monet and the others who had betrayed him.
"No, we need to go back and prepare. We can't let Caesar leave Dressrosa alive. If his research and technology fall into Wood's hands, there will be even less chance of turning the tide."
Chapter 588 Three generals actually came to this island!
After hanging up the Den Den Mushi call from Aokiji, Wood, Robin, and Perona, having undergone some simple disguises, were leisurely strolling the streets of Dressrosa.
Dressrosa is a kingdom with a Western style. It must be said that although Doflamingo occupied it, Dressrosa has indeed become much more prosperous than before due to his powerful tactics.
Because of its reputation as one of the "Seven Warlords of the Sea," ordinary pirates dare not invade this island.
And because of his connections and influence in the underworld, Doflamingo managed to run this kingdom very successfully.
Doflamingo enjoys a high reputation in Dressrosa, and there's a reason for that, because he has indeed made the kingdom more prosperous than King Riku.
Wood and Robin bought tickets to the arena and had just finished watching the first preliminary match when they received a report from Aokiji that he had completed his mission.
Just as Wood was about to give Aokiji another instruction so that he could begin preparing to take action against the Donquixote Family, two female Marines wearing Marine Justice Cloaks and with long swords at their waists suddenly appeared in front of Wood.
Women make up a small percentage of the navy's overall population, and even fewer of them rise to the rank of admiral.
Surprisingly, the two female naval officers who appeared before Wood and his group were both "admiral-level" naval officers, judging from their uniforms.
Moreover, the long-legged mature woman with long black hair and one leg that looks amazing is actually one of the Navy Headquarters' top combatants!
When Robin saw the two female Marines in front of her, both tall and beautiful, her expression immediately turned tense.
