Pirate: My Piltover technology is far ahead!

Chapter 450 So what is the choice?

Gaspard has his own persona in the Navy, which includes his deep hatred for pirates and his determination to severely punish evil.

During the Marineford War, Gaspard successfully aided Impel Down, preventing a prisoner escape and briefly gaining the limelight as a new naval hero.

In fact, for the Navy, whether they are hawks or doves, they all share the same attitude towards cracking down on pirates; they just have different styles of doing things.

Gaspardie was largely a centrist, but he was very eager to gain fame and essentially maintained friendly relations with both the hawks and doves.

When Zephyr and Kuzan formed the NEO Navy, many people thought that this "new hero" would lean more towards Kuzan, but unexpectedly he stood on Akainu's side to maintain order.

What's even more unexpected is that he was completely playing the role of a wolf in sheep's clothing during this period.

During the new showdown between Kuzan and Akainu, relying on his years of honed eloquence and report-writing skills, coupled with his knowledge of many inside stories, he managed to stage a defection at Marineford, leading many Marines back to the "right path".

"Lieutenant General Gaspardine, I thought you were really on their side."

"How could that be? I've always been here, much longer than you think."

Rosinante did not side with Gaspardi in this incident. Rosinante, who thought Gaspardi was stubborn, was actually quite relieved to see the current situation.

What Rosinandi didn't know was that Gaspardi was also very grateful. Even after realizing the huge mess Oran had made, he felt a sense of disbelief, or rather, a sense of relief at having escaped unscathed.

Looking back, if I had chosen to be an enemy, my ashes would probably be scattered somewhere by now.

"Just you wait, Rosinante."

"What?"

"This war should end."

Compared to the confusion of others, Gaspard, who had inside information, knew better what was happening on the Red Line. Before Rosinante could even ask what it meant, the Marineford Navy experienced the same feeling Im had when facing Joy Boy.

A terrifying aura emanated from above, tearing apart the volcanic smoke generated by Akainu and the snow clouds produced by Kuzan, which, along with a fierce wind, swept across the entire Marineford.

"Conqueror's Haki?!"

"How could domineering aura be this strong?"

The crowd behind them collapsed like wheat being harvested, including junior officers. Even the lieutenant generals, after a brief struggle, foamed at the mouth and fainted.

The sheer overwhelming power rendered the existence of numbers meaningless; even Gaspard and the marines beside him fainted.

The domineering master used a pure, indiscriminate attack. When the impact of the domineering attack ended, only six people remained conscious in the square of Marineford.

Zephyr, Sengoku, Garp, Akainu, Kuzan, and Tsuru.

"Everyone, the fighting can stop now. The world government you wanted to protect has disappeared at this moment. The source of the conflict has ended. The fighting that follows is meaningless."

"If you still want to fight, I'm happy to oblige."

Those engaged in battle temporarily ceased their fighting due to the impact of the Haki. Upon hearing Lyriana's words, Kuzan readily took two steps back, as his original mission was to prevent Akainu from being distracted.

The fact that Leriana could appear here in this manner clearly indicates that everything in Mary Geoise has come to an end.

"Ara ara, you guys are quick, much faster than I expected. Sakazuki, you heard that too, are you going to continue?"

Kuzan had thought this war would last a long time, and he wouldn't be an exception even if it turned into a major war like the Void Century.

After all, the enemy is the world government, which has existed for hundreds of years.

Oran and Vegapunk's announcements led Kuzan to believe that they had the ability to confront the World Government. He never expected that the war at the top would end in such a short time, allowing top-tier forces to support other battlefields.

"Where's Aramaki?"

"Aramu? That coward who bullies the weak and fears the strong and advocates oppressive supremacy? Of course he was taken down."

Sakazuki, personally, I hate your style of doing things, but I don't deny that you've contributed to fighting pirates and maintaining order.

"So answer me now, do you want to follow the old order to its grave, or seek true justice in the new order and bring long-lost peace to the sea?"

The only thing Lyliana could accept was that Akainu was maintaining order, but order and justice are not entirely the same thing. In the process of Akainu maintaining this order, many of the things he did did were not in line with Lyliana's understanding.

However, these things haven't reached the point where Lyriana wants to kill him outright, provided that Akainu doesn't intend to go down this dark path. If he'd rather die than give up following the World Government's lead, then Lyriana will have no choice but to grant his wish.

"What are you going to do?"

"The person who established a new order and ushered in the Great Pirate Era was Roger. But if it weren't for the World Government's Heavenly Gold system, where would so many pirates come from?"

Whitebeard went to sea because his hometown was barren, Kaido became a pirate because of the World Government's large-scale conscription, and the emergence of the Four Emperors is largely thanks to the World Government.

Without addressing the root cause, killing more whitebeards is meaningless. With the World Government acting as a parasite, beards of all colors will continue to emerge.

Uncle Punk has always been pursuing a perpetual energy source. Although that ideal is somewhat fantastical, it's still achievable as long as everyone is well-fed, the rules for sea exploration are standardized, and adventurers and pirates are clearly distinguished.

Akainu did not give an immediate reply, but instead fell silent.

He deeply despises pirates and knows some of the World Government's secrets, but in Akainu's eyes, a stable order is far better than the chaos brought by pirates.

Compared to Green Bull, who simply agrees with the World Government, Akainu's thoughts are more complex. At least Akainu also wants to end the pirate era, rather than simply maintaining the status quo step by step.

Now that the World Government has been ended in this way, Akainu is unusually confused about the future.

"So, your next step is to announce this to the whole world?"

"Of course not. The reason for exposing the hypocrisy of the World Government was to let more people know that the World Government is not righteous at all."

It's just a tool, a violent instrument used to please the Celestial Dragons by exploiting the world. Announcing this result to the world now will only make pirates rejoice and bring the world into a new era of great chaos, which is not what I want.

First, we need to convene a new conference to gather kings from all over the world, establish a general order, prepare contingency plans, and then announce the news to the world.

So what is your choice, Marshal Sakazuki?
