Who told him to become the Pirate King!

Chapter 273 White Dragon Stands Alone Against the Emperor Pirates! (First Update, Please Subscribe!)

Naval Headquarters, Marineford, Admiral's Office.

While Sengoku was handling official business, he suddenly received a Den Den Mushi signal from the New World.

He first dismissed those around him and asked irrelevant people to leave the office before finally connecting to the Den Den Mushi.

"Sakazuki..."

When Sengoku answered the Den Den Mushi, his expression was slightly somber.

"Have you and Borsalino completed your mission?"

Sengoku was certainly aware of the Five Elders' "Buster Order on Rischiled Island" plan.

He also knew that the Five Elders had simultaneously dispatched Akainu and Kizaru to subdue the Shichibukai, Haku.

The reason why the Five Elders valued Haku so much was because of what had happened in the Sabaody Archipelago.

The Five Elders equated the "White Dragon" with the "Red Dragon Emperor," which is why they dispatched two generals at once.

Sengoku still couldn't believe that the "White Dragon" was the "Red Dragon Emperor".

But the Five Elders' orders...

The admiral could not refuse.

If Sengoku remembers correctly, today is the day the "Buster Call" plan for Rischiled Island will take place.

The fact that Sakazuki called the Den Den Mushi so quickly probably means that things on Rischirede Island are completely over...

The Warring States period thought so too.

Sakazuki and Borsalino both mobilized, two Marine Admirals working together to take on a Shichibukai and a Marine Vice Admiral...

Even that bastard Garp couldn't withstand the "mixed doubles" of Sakazuki and Borsalino.

Not to mention Storm—

"I apologize, Marshal Sengoku."

Akainu's deep voice traveled through the Den Den Mushi into the Fleet Admiral's office.

"The Buster Call plan against Vongola Storm has failed..."

Akainu adheres to "complete justice".

Faced with the catastrophic [Magma Fruit], mortals are injured if they brush against it, and die if they touch it.

Therefore, in the past few decades, Akainu has rarely experienced mission failure.

Sengoku was also aware of this, so when he heard Akainu's words, he was stunned on the spot.

"It failed?"

The Warring States period pressed for more information.

"How could we have failed? Could it be... that the White Dragon is truly the Crimson Dragon Emperor?"

In the battle at Sabaody Archipelago, the Red Dragon Emperor defeated both Shanks and him...

If we also include the "Dawn Pirates" behind the Red Dragon Emperor.

Sakazuki and Borsalino may indeed face the risk of mission failure...

"Fleet Admiral Sengoku! Although Vongola Storm didn't display the power of the Red Dragon Fruit in the battle just now, the Five Elders have already emphasized... the White Dragon is the Red Dragon Emperor!"

Akainu slowly revealed the real reason he had come to participate in the Buster Call against Strom.

If "White Dragon" is truly just "White Dragon," merely a "Vice Admiral of the Marine Headquarters," then Akainu is not a completely inhuman person.

Unless there are special circumstances, such as encountering a deserter spouting nonsense on the battlefield...

Otherwise, Akainu would generally not harm his fellow Marines.

But the "White Dragon" is the "Red Dragon Emperor"!

This leaves Akainu with no room for mercy!

The Red Dragon Emperor's battle on the Sabaody Archipelago not only disrupted the Navy's plans but also severely damaged the World Government's authority, causing immense disruption to the entire maritime order.

This lawless pirate is completely within Akainu's attack range!

Akainu paused, and before Sengoku could reply, he continued.

"However... Vongola Storm's strength completely exceeded our expectations... My defeat in the battle directly affected the outcome..."

Kizaru shifted the blame, and Akainu didn't deny it either, taking the blame for everything.

In Akainu's view, he does indeed bear the main responsibility for the failure of this Buster Call.

Just as Borsalino said.

Akainu was knocked down by a single punch from the enemy during the battle...

This is such a disgrace to the Navy!

No one in the Warring States period could have foreseen this outcome.

Sengoku's anticipated outcome for this "Skired Island Buster Call Plan" was—

Akainu and Kizaru successfully captured Haku and then handed him over to Impel Down.

Even if the battle has some twists and turns, this outcome should remain unchanged.

But the Warring States period never expected this.

Akainu, who has always been resolute and powerful, was actually the first to be defeated?!

At this moment, Sengoku's thoughts were in turmoil. He didn't bother to ask about Akainu's condition and went straight to asking the most crucial question.

"Where is Vongola Storm?"

The Five Elders and the Navy's top brass joined forces to carry out the "Buster Call" against one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea in a manner that could be described as a "sneak attack".

The Five Elders were alright, since they didn't know Storm's true identity.

The World Government's purge of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, whom they themselves have personally approved... is nothing new.

However, the high-ranking naval officers, led by Sengoku, clearly knew that Storm was an undercover agent, yet they still carried out the Buster Call against him. This can be described as an "unjust betrayal" by the Fleet Admiral and the Admiral against a Vice Admiral!

If the Buster Call is successfully carried out, there will be no other negative consequences.

But the Buster Call failed...

Will the navy face an attack from the White Dragon in the future?

Sengoku's current feelings are nothing but shame and panic.

Upon hearing Sengoku's question, Akainu immediately turned to look at Kizaru standing to the side.

"Stromb—Vongola Stromb, he just swaggered away~"

Kizaru sighed and replied in a low, melancholic tone.

"But before he left, he said one more thing—he was quitting the navy."

"Hmph! A lawless outlaw! He doesn't deserve to be in the Navy!"

Akainu snorted coldly.

He believed that the White Dragon was the Red Dragon Emperor, so he did not recognize the latter's naval identity.

At this moment, they heard that Haku had voluntarily given up his identity as a member of the Navy.

Instead of feeling disappointed, Akainu felt a sense of exhilaration.

Kizaru glanced at Akainu but didn't say anything more.

As for Sengoku on the other end of the Den Den Mushi, he was having a terrible headache.

Even setting aside other issues.

Judging from the strength that White Dragon displayed during the "Buster Call Incident on Rischiled Island".

The Navy has done more than just force a Vice Admiral and a Shichibukai to rebel...

The Navy is probably handing over a new pirate emperor to the New World!

Warring States clenched his fists, a surge of anger rising within him.

It's all the Five Elders' fault!

After explaining the failure of the Buster Call mission to Sengoku, Akainu chatted briefly before hanging up the Den Den Mushi.

Being a naval admiral is just one hurdle.

There is another "hurdle" that Akainu needs to face...

Shortly after, Akainu contacted the power center in Mary Geoise and reported the mission failure to the Five Elders.

Mary Geoise, Between Powers.

When Nasujiro received the Den Den Mushi from Akainu, he thought he was about to receive good news.

But after Akainu finished reporting the details, the bald Five Elder's expression immediately turned extremely gloomy.

"Useless! They're all useless!"

"Your navy is making the government lose all face!"

"Two Marine Admirals! Two of the strongest fighters! And they couldn't even handle a single Shichibukai?!"

"The countless resources and military expenditures the government has wasted on your navy over the years have been nothing short of feeding dogs!"

Nasujuro Sei unleashed a torrent of abuse at Akainu.

As the financial god of the World Government, Nasujuro felt extremely resentful.

Sitting to the side, Makas Maz Saint felt a strange emotion rise in his heart after hearing Nasu Shoulang Saint's words.

Come to think of it, he was also on an operation with Kizaru last time, but they failed to take down Edward Teach, the Second Whitebeard...

If this is according to Nasujiro Sei's wishes...

Marcus Mazsan: Am I also a piece of trash?

Nasujuro Sei unleashed a torrent of abuse on Akainu on the other end of the Den Den Mushi.

Akainu had absolutely no room for rebuttal when faced with accusations from the Five Elders.

The truth is... he couldn't beat Vongola Storm, and he even dragged Borsalino down with him.

The mission failed, and he bears the primary responsibility.

Akainu had no intention of arguing and could only obediently accept the scolding.

Nasujiro cursed for a long time, but because of the Den Den Mushi, he couldn't do anything more to Akainu.

As for Vongola Storm, who has already dealt with the Buster Call, Nasujuro Sei is even less able to do anything about it.

His current anger is nothing but impotent rage.

Nasujiro Sei, like a mad dog, spewed out a torrent of words, but ended up exhausting himself with the spray.

Finally, because he was so emotionally agitated, he actually crushed the Den Den Mushi in front of him.

The communication between the Five Elders and Akainu came to an abrupt end.

Nassou Seiji, still seething with anger, vented his fury over the power struggles.

The other five elders were equally dissatisfied.

"Akainu! Kizaru! Two Marine Admirals have been dispatched, yet they still couldn't defeat Haku!"

"This has suddenly become tricky!"

"Having learned this lesson, the government has lost all credibility with Bai Long!"

"Haku still has Donquixote Doflamingo as a bargaining chip! Damn it!"

"If we had known that Haku would be this difficult to kill, we should have dealt with Doflamingo sooner!"

"Now it's caused the government such a huge problem!"

What the Admiral can make connections to, the Five Elders can also make connections to.

With the Buster Call plan failing, Haku's status as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea is now merely nominal.

To make matters worse, the World Government essentially forced Haku into rebellion.

The other party was originally just a rather aggressive marine who, besides fighting pirates, also liked to demand some "rewards".

But now.

Even the Five Elders couldn't imagine what the White Dragon would do in the future.

But one thing is certain.

Haku has now become the World Government's absolute enemy!

Considering Haku's current strength, he's capable of single-handedly taking on two Marine Admirals...

no doubt.

The sixth Pirate Emperor of the New World has been born!

Moreover, it is different from other Emperor Pirate Crews.

White Dragon can almost single-handedly rival the Whitebeard Pirates, the Dawn Pirates, the Beasts Pirates, the Big Mom Pirates, and the Red-Haired Pirates!
