Who told him to become the Pirate King!

Chapter 271 The Navy's Tear-Apart Plan! (Two chapters, please subscribe!)

"Ara la la..."

Aokiji covered his forehead and uttered his signature verbal tic, which the Den Den Mushi perfectly mimicked.

He had almost lost count of how many times Storm had invited him to "become a pirate"!

Ever since Storm extended his invitation to "become a pirate" a few times, Aokiji has gradually reduced his contact with him.

Even though Storm caused quite a stir afterward, Aokiji basically never took the initiative to contact him.

This is not only because Aokiji felt that "becoming a pirate" was too absurd for a Marine Admiral like himself.

Furthermore, Aokiji felt that Storm's assessment of the Celestial Dragons, the World Government, and the Marine Headquarters was basically correct.

Say something.

The World Government and the Navy Headquarters... are indeed quite terrible!

If the World Government and the Navy Headquarters can truly stabilize the situation at sea and uphold truth and justice.

Aokiji could never possibly believe in any kind of "lazy justice".

It's simply because the World Government is so incompetent, and because some parts of the Navy are so incompetent...

Did Aokiji finally waver in his initial "burning justice"?

In the many years since the shift from "burning justice" to "lazy justice".

Aokiji has always been pondering the issue of justice within the Navy.

But the more he thought about it, the more confused and helpless he felt...

Occasionally, perhaps just for a fleeting moment, Aokiji also considered "giving up his Navy identity".

There's a thousand ways to explain it.

It's impossible to be a pirate!

Even if Aokiji freezes to death, drowns in the sea, or jumps off Mary Geoise... he would never become a pirate!

"Storm, don't say things like that again..."

Aokiji replied helplessly.

"In short, this time it really is... well, whatever, since you don't want to continue being a Marine, then leave."

"Sometimes...some things...maybe only when you're no longer in the Navy can you see them clearly."

Aokiji's last words were both addressed to Storm and reflected his own thoughts.

Upon hearing Aokiji's words, Storm's eyes lit up, and he immediately responded.

"Since you also know that the Navy's sense of justice, identity, and stance are often constraints, then leave the Navy too—wait, what?!"

Storm hadn't finished speaking.

Aokiji then hung up the Den Den Mushi.

He contacted Storm simply to see what his former subordinate was thinking.

I don't want to hear any grand principles from this "Seven Warlords of the Sea"!

"Oh dear... what's going on here?"

Aokiji stuffed the Den Den Mushi into his pocket, quickly determined the direction, then turned his bicycle around and rode towards a nearby naval branch base.

Due to the orders of the Five Elders, two admirals were tasked with subduing a vice admiral, and the second-in-command of the Sharp Blade Squad was thus expelled from the Navy...

Such a significant event—at least for the Blademaster Corps—was one that Aokiji intended to return to headquarters to find Fleet Admiral Sengoku and get to the bottom of it.

Like Storm, he also did not believe that the "Buster Call" incident on Rischiled Island could be kept secret from the Fleet Admiral of the Navy Headquarters.

In other words.

At least the Warring States period knew about this incident!

Unfortunately, neither Storm nor Aokiji received any relevant information in advance.

"Is this your 'absolute justice,' Marshal Sengoku...?"

Aokiji's murmurs faded into the sea breeze of the Grand Line.

"Even the World Government, even the Navy Headquarters... their actions are not necessarily all correct."

"This 'Sharp Blade Squad'... has absolutely no reason to exist anymore..."

The second-in-command of the Sharp Blade Squad, a vice admiral at Marine Headquarters, was forced to rebel under orders from the Five Elders...

The fake pirate became a real pirate...

Aokiji also harbored deep disappointment with the Navy and the World Government.

Even though he had long since given up hope on the navy and the government.

But this time, Aokiji still felt very... disappointed.

"All the vice admirals in the navy have become pirates... pirates, huh...?"

Storm was destined not to hear Aokiji's words.

Inside the cockpit of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon's head in the New World.

Storm raised an eyebrow as he looked at the Den Den Mushi that had completely lost signal.

He tried several times to drag Aokiji into the water (crossed out) – to recruit him as a pirate.

However, Aokiji completely ignored the previous invitations.

Even if this "Green Chicken" is confused and lazy now, it will never become the captain of the tenth ship of the Blackbeard Pirates.

But compared to the previous times.

This time, Aokiji not only hesitated, but also revealed some of his true feelings...

"That's progress, you could say..."

Thinking this, Storm put away the Den Den Mushi.

He had just been planning to take stock of all the spoils from the operation on Rischiled Island, but his plan was interrupted by Aokiji's Den Den Mushi.

However, through Aokiji's Den Den Mushi.

Storm did manage to confirm some intelligence information.

This "Buster Call on Rischiled Island" operation was extremely covert.

Even Aokiji, as a naval admiral, only heard rumors and was unaware of the truth.

Come to think of it.

This Buster Call was of extremely high caliber, with two Marine Admirals deployed at the same time.

However, the rest of the "basic configuration" is pitifully meager.

Two admirals, one CP0, and one CP9, a total of only four people.

The Five Elders did not issue orders in a high-profile manner to involve the Navy in this Buster Call incident.

The vast majority of naval personnel and even World Government officials were completely unaware of this Buster Call incident.

"Aokiji is unaware... and there's a very high chance that Zephyr is also unaware... but regardless, the other three can't escape suspicion! Sengoku! Akainu! Kizaru!"

A cold glint flashed in Storm's eyes, and the images of three top naval leaders immediately flashed through his mind.

There's always talk about "doves," "hawks," and "centrists" within the navy...

But in reality, there are only two factions in the navy—

"The World Government Faction" and "The Non-World Government Faction"!

Sengoku period, Akainu.

In Storm's mind, these two were absolutely staunch "government supporters," especially the former.

If Akainu were to rise to the rank of Fleet Admiral in the future, he would at least bark at the Five Elders a few times.

However, Sengoku did not show any sign of disobeying the Five Elders.

As for Kizaru...

This admiral, who adheres to "ambiguous justice," appears to be a two-faced individual.

But in reality, if the Five Elders give an order, he will obediently comply.

Even if it meant killing his mentor or longtime friend, Kizaru would obey orders.

From this perspective, Kizaru can also be considered a "government supporter".

"Those bastards who collude with the World Government and are in cahoots with it..."

Several thoughts flashed through Storm's mind.

"The existing navy can accommodate it, but the new navy cannot!"

Suppressing certain thoughts, Storm raised his right hand and summoned Iggy, the big black dog.

Previously, when we were on Rischiled Island.

Storm defeated CP0 agent Guernica and CP9 agent Bruno in succession.

These two agents had long been secretly transferred by Storm to Iggy's "swamp space" and imprisoned.

The island of Rischiled was nearly destroyed in the battle just now, and was reduced to an archipelago.

But Guernica and Bruno did not die as a result.

Storm then summoned Ichi, who first pulled Guernica out of its "swamp space".

He didn't wake the CP0 senior agent; he merely reached out and touched him.

【Fun Fruits】!

A powerful and mysterious force surged from Storm's [Ring of Childlike Innocence], directly affecting Guernica's body and transforming this high-ranking CP0 agent into a black and white rag doll.

This CP0 agent, Storm decided to proceed with the original plan, transforming him into a "sparring partner" for the Storm Pirates until he was completely drained of his usefulness.

The "Childhood Fun Fruit" is undoubtedly an excellent way to control prisoners.

Although Haki can suppress Devil Fruits.

However, Storm's [Ring of Fun] has a star rating of seven.

This CP0 agent, Guernica, is only a six-star level in strength.

Storm has no need to worry at all that the other party will break free from the power of the [Hobby-Hobby Fruit].

This "Nika" will just stay and be a sparring partner!

Storm placed a contract on the black-and-white doll that Guernica had transformed into, ordering it to "obey all commands forever," then tossed it aside and retrieved the CP9 agent from the "swamp space" once more—

Bruno is the user of the Door-Door Fruit.

have to say.

The Five Elders prepared a lot of things for this "Buster Call on Rischiled Island".

Guernica, the CP0 agent openly in charge of the transaction.

Bruno, a CP9 agent, is hiding in the shadows, preparing to launch a sneak attack.

There are also Kizaru and Akainu hiding in another dimension.

If it weren't for Storm's overwhelming strength, he might have actually suffered an unexpected defeat this time.

If it were any other powerful figure from the ocean, they would come to "keep the appointment" alone.

Even if a "Pirate Emperor" like Whitebeard or Kaido of the Beasts came, he would definitely not have an advantage against this special lineup!

Just the two admirals, Akainu and Kizaru, are enough to give the rest of the group a run for their money!

But in the end, Storm thwarted all of the Five Elders' plans.

"The Five Elders... a bunch of old fogies..."

Several thoughts raced through Storm's mind.

"I wonder if nine-level Conqueror's Haki can actually break through the Five Elders' 'immortal bodies'..."

Storm also personally experienced the effects of Marcus Mazs's "Undying Body".

Disembowelment, piercing the heart, exploding the head... even these lethal wounds couldn't kill Marcus Mazsan.

Storm plans to find an opportunity later to try out the Five Elders' level again.

of course.

This time, we can't be as "reckless" as last time.

They crashed headlong into the Red Line without any preparation and faced off against the Five Elders...

This sounds incredibly shameful.

As his thoughts wandered, Storm casually snapped Bruno's neck.
