Starting as a working person from Naruto

Chapter 424 My subordinate, I have never let her suffer a single injustice!

Judicial Island.

The island is now exceptionally lively.

In addition to Admiral Aokiji of the Marine Headquarters, the Marine Headquarters transferred two individuals who had distinguished themselves in the World Military Draft to supplement the fighting force for the Battle of Enies Lobby.

Issho, a Paramecia-type Gravity Fruit user, codenamed Vice Admiral Fujitora; Araki, a Logia-type Forest-Forest Fruit user, codenamed Vice Admiral Green Bull.

During the World Government's Great Recruitment, Vice Admiral Fujitora and Vice Admiral Green Bull performed exceptionally well, and were even called two monsters comparable to the Marine Headquarters Admirals!

In addition to the two of them, there is also Vice Admiral Akihara Kagura, the Logia-type Rumble-Rumble Fruit user who was originally stationed on Enies Lobby.

With one Admiral and three Vice Admirals, the high-end combat power of Enies Lobby is enough to easily destroy a country.

but…

These people each have their own unique characteristics.

For example, Vice Admiral Green Bull has a fiery temper, greatly admires Admiral Akainu of the Marine Headquarters, believes in justice to the death, and strongly supports the rule of the World Government. He doesn't particularly like Aokiji, the mild-mannered commander.

Tower of Justice.

These high-ranking naval officers are sitting here discussing the current situation.

Lieutenant General Fujitora appeared to be blind, and he believed that he had closed his eyes because he "could not bear to see the misfortunes of the world." He sat in his chair, calmly munching on a dessert.

Anyone can see it…

Lieutenant General Fujitora has an extremely gentle personality.

In comparison…

Green Bull's temper is simply outwardly volatile.

The guy leaned back in his chair nonchalantly, wearing sunglasses on his nose, and wasn't even wearing a military uniform; he was shirtless and wearing a cloak of justice.

Green Bull also hates trouble. He finds things like eating troublesome and meetings troublesome, feeling that they are a pure waste of time.

If it weren't for the need to eliminate the Revolutionary Army, he should be busy sweeping away pirates around the world or eliminating member states that want to withdraw from the World Government, instead of sitting here leisurely every day.

"Would you like some?"

Fujitora tilted his head slightly and asked Green Bull a question.

"Ah, no need, eating is too much trouble..."

Green Bull shook his head, his gaze slowly sweeping across the room. He muttered nonchalantly, "To avoid trouble, I haven't eaten for over a year..."

Because of the unique ability of the Forest Fruit, Green Bull can absorb nutrients more quickly through other means, and does not need to ingest nutrients through eating.

"Don't you need to eat? Your ability is quite interesting..."

Aokiji, wearing an eye patch, sat cross-legged in the main seat and took the initiative to praise Green Bull, because Aokiji also disliked troublesome things.

"This is one of the few advantages..."

As Green Bull spoke, his gaze fell on Karin standing behind Akihara Kagura, and his voice suddenly became louder: "Of course, if a beautiful woman were to feed me, I might eat a little..."

Obvious.

Anyone can understand what Green Bull means.

"..."

Karin reached out and gripped her ninja sword.

"..."

Akihara Kagura was holding a glass of pear juice and was about to put it in his mouth when he suddenly stopped and crushed the glass into pieces!

The atmosphere in the entire conference room suddenly became tense!

Everyone present could clearly sense that the atmosphere was somewhat strange. Everyone present had excellent Observation Haki and could smell a dangerous aura coming!

"!!!"

Fujitora instinctively slammed his hand on the table. He always relied on his Observation Haki and could sense that someone was angry: "Please calm down..."

"Lieutenant General Kagura!"

Karin nervously picked up the towel.

"It's okay."

"You're the only woman here."

"Then could you please get Lieutenant General Green Bull something to eat?"

Kagura Akihara flicked the shards of glass from her hands, took the towel Karin offered, and calmly wiped her palms. As if oblivious to her surroundings, she ordered, "Chop up Vice Admiral Green Bull's limbs and make him eat them all. If he dares to resist, execute him immediately for treason against the World Government..."

"Feed..."

Green Bull frowned unhappily.

no…

Why should I bear the stigma of betraying the World Government?

They even wanted this woman to chop up her own limbs and eat them. Is this Akihara Kagura really a proper Navy Vice Admiral?

However, before Green Bull could speak, Karin vanished from her spot and reappeared in front of him, drawing her sword and slashing at his shoulder!

"Hey, attacking a superior is a serious crime..."

Green Bull raised his arm, and vines sprouted from his body, intending to bind Karin to the spot.

This ability is similar to Wood Release...

For Karin, this was all too familiar. In the Root organization where she used to be, there were many dual bloodline holders with both Wood Release and Sharingan. Those people had always accompanied her in her training, and she was very good at dealing with this kind of ability!

Karin's figure suddenly flipped, and the ninja sword in her hand cut through the vines on Green Bull with flashes of light!

"Huh?"

Green Bull's eyes showed a hint of surprise. It was the first time he had seen someone so skilled at fighting against the Forest Fruit. He once again manipulated his vines, and one of the vines grew into a tree-man the size of a fist, which smashed towards Karin's body!

"Diamond Lockdown!"

Without hesitation, Karin activated the Adamantine Lockdown. Golden chains emerged from her body, quickly crushing the treant in front of her!

at the same time…

Cursed seal chakra began to flow in her arm…

Obviously.

In Karin's perception, the Green Bull in front of her was not so easy to defeat. Only by entering the Cursed Seal Sage Mode could she contend with her opponent!

"Wow...you're pretty good!"

Green Bull whistled, his body covered in vines, and seemingly half-jokingly praised Karin: "Your life force is more abundant than anyone I've ever seen. You don't seem like a simple person. The Navy is indeed full of hidden talents..."

originally…

Green Bull thought that Karin was just an ordinary adjutant.

It now appears that this adjutant possesses combat strength comparable to that of a lieutenant general!

"Cursed Seal Mode!"

Suddenly, a pair of wings sprouted from Karin's back!

The red-haired girl was even faster, appearing beside Green Bull in the blink of an eye, her ninja sword slashing down repeatedly!

Countless vines and branches were sliced ​​off by her blade!

Green Bull was forced back by her attack and hurriedly raised his hand to control the vines to wrap around Karin's body. Karin's wings fluttered gently as she dodged the attack!

"Please calm down."

A sudden surge of gravity struck!

Fujitora, without anyone noticing, picked up his scabbard and pressed it to the ground, using his weight to interrupt Green Bull and Karin's fight. He spoke in a deep voice, advising, "With a formidable enemy at hand, it would be unwise to rashly provoke internal strife..."

"!!!"

Green Bull and Karin simultaneously felt a terrifying force of gravity, forcing them to stop moving at the same time!

"Lieutenant General Fujitora..."

Electricity crackled around Akihara Kagura as she slowly turned her gaze to Fujitora: "This doesn't seem to concern you..."

"Green Bull was just playing a little joke..."

Fujitora shook his head. He understood what Akihara Kagura meant and sighed softly, "Vice Admiral Green Bull was indeed at fault, but to be falsely accused by Vice Admiral Kagura of being a Revolutionary Army spy is too unfair to him. Such a accusation will not be accepted by anyone, and it even weakens the Navy's combat power at the face of a formidable enemy. It is somewhat detrimental to the implementation of justice..."

"alright."

Aokiji, seated in the main seat, rubbed his head with a slight headache and, asserting his authority as a general, forcefully halted the infighting: "We need to discuss important matters now, let's not fool around in this setting..."

"I actually found it quite interesting..."

Green Bull chuckled and sat back down in his seat.

"Then we will obey Admiral Aokiji's orders."

Akihara Kagura looked at everyone present, suddenly smiled, and waved to Karin: "Come back, Karin, let's put aside Vice Admiral Green Bull's rude remarks for now, and give our Admiral Aokiji a little face..."

"When the time comes, I'll fight him at sea. If I accidentally kill him, it doesn't matter. I'll just make it look like I was ambushed and killed by the Konoha Pirates..."

"Ha ha ha ha…"

Green Bull couldn't help but burst into laughter. Wearing sunglasses, he looked at Akihara Kagura and grinned, saying, "You're quite the joker..."

"This doesn't sound like a joke..."

Fujitora's expression turned extremely serious. His senses were so sharp that he could tell whether Akihara Kagura was lying or telling the truth from her emotions.

Fujitora could tell...

Akihara Kagura's voice carried a murderous intent that seemed like a joke!

This person…

I really want to kill Green Bull!

"This doesn't sound like a joke at all!"

Kagura Akihara's smile was exceptionally bright: "Lieutenant General Fujitora, even though you can't see it, you can still hear it, right..."

"..."

Fujitora's forehead was sweating.

As a blind man, Fujitora has always had an almost accurate intuition about everything he perceives, and he was able to clearly sense the danger in Akihara Kagura's laughter.

Do not…

That wasn't a laugh...

That was a sign of contempt for Lieutenant General Green Bull…

Kagura Akihara's contempt wasn't stemming from a personality trait of disdain or mockery towards Vice Admiral Green Bull, but rather from a disregard for Green Bull's life, as if she could take everything away from him at any moment...

In the Navy…

How can such dangerous thinkers exist?

"Lieutenant General Kagura".

"Don't do anything unnecessary."

Aokiji frowned; he knew Akihara Kagura better than the two lieutenant generals present.

When Aokiji heard Kagura Akihara say those things, he knew that the possibility of Green Bull being abducted and killed by the Konoha Pirates was very likely to become a reality. The other side happened to possess the ability and intelligence to do so, and could even do it with ease…

Green Bull is indeed strong, and may even be strong enough to be a Marine Admiral in the future. Unfortunately, no matter how strong Green Bull is, he can never be a match for the Konoha Pirates.

"General Aokiji".

"Today, it was Lieutenant General Green Bull who provoked me first..."

Kagura Akihara still had a smile on his face. He wiped the pear juice off his hands with a towel and handed it to Karin behind him: "My subordinate is a child I raised myself. From the moment I adopted her, I have never let her suffer a single injustice..."

"..."

Karin's body trembled, and she reached out to take the towel.

at this point…

Even Karin herself sometimes didn't think of it.

She had always considered herself a subordinate who had been redeemed, and even believed that her special healing ability would be the key to Akihara Kagura's life, and was always ready to give her life for Akihara Kagura.

but…

It seems I've never really suffered any injustice...

Ever since she was rescued by Akihara Kagura, whether she was studying in Konoha or working for Root, no one has ever been able to hurt her again…

Even when she was young and participated in the Chunin Exams, Akihara Kagura would specially arrange for someone to accompany her during the exams, so as to avoid the embarrassing situation he had encountered.

"It was just a joke..."

Aokiji rubbed his temples.

to be honest…

There are far too many jokes like this on the high seas!

Is Lieutenant General Akihara Kagura's adjutant special?

If Green Bull were to issue a formal apology for a joke that wasn't even frivolous, it would be a huge embarrassment for a lieutenant general!

Maybe...

Or was it Akihara Kagura deliberately causing trouble...?

"alright."

Aokiji wasn't very good at handling these issues, so he could only forcefully suppress the conflict between the two sides and casually changed the subject: "Let's talk about the preparations for Enies Lobby first. All 20,000 main force marines have arrived at Enies Lobby. If the battle situation becomes unfavorable in the future, Marineford will also send new reinforcements to Enies Lobby at any time..."

"Report! Vice Admiral Garp has arrived!"

A naval soldier knocked on the conference room door.

"..."

Aokiji felt his headache was getting worse.

During this period of time...

Aokiji's mind was about to explode.

Because Nico Robin is also a member of the Straw Hat crew, it just so happens that Nico Robin is an archaeologist needed by the World Government, so it's barely considered a problem.

but…

Straw Hat Luffy is the core protagonist of this Enies Lobby operation and also the bait the World Government wants to lure the Revolutionary Army into; there's no way he could operate behind closed doors.

even…

The world government has given a clear order.

If the crucial moment comes, Straw Hat Luffy must be executed!

This command…

It was passed down personally by Saint Satan and Saint Nassuro!

The World Government is already under enough pressure from the Konoha Pirates and the Revolutionary Army. If the amazing Devil Fruit inside Straw Hat Luffy causes even more trouble, the World Government might as well just disband...

however…

Aokiji also knew that Luffy was Vice Admiral Garp's grandson.

Aokiji was once Garp's adjutant, and was trained and mentored by Garp for a considerable period of time. Garp even influenced Aokiji's style of doing things, making Aokiji a figure who was like a teacher and a father to him.

If Vice Admiral Garp found out that he had to execute Garp's grandson, Aokiji would truly be ashamed to face him...

to be honest…

Aokiji was somewhat relieved that he had joined the Konoha Pirates, becoming a spy sent by them to infiltrate the Marines. Now, betraying the World Government's orders to find an opportunity to secretly release the Straw Hat, Aokiji felt no psychological pressure...

But...

Before that, let's go see Garp first.

Aokiji could only hastily end the meeting. Knowing Garp's purpose, he stood up and left: "Let's adjourn today's meeting. I'm going to see Vice Admiral Garp..."

"..."

Only three people remained in the meeting room.

"Karin, let's go too."

Akihara Kagura stood up at the same time.

"Vice Admiral Kagura, please wait a moment."

Fujitora stood up, leaning on his cane-sword, and slowly walked towards Akihara Kagura, bowing his head and pleading, "Could you spare a moment? Let's find a place to talk to this blind man. I have some questions about Kagura..."

oops…

Actually, the Naruto arc didn't show much of Karin's daily life...

When I write about Naruto again in the future, should I include some slice-of-life elements to let everyone know that Akihara Kagura would risk his life to protect the subordinates he approves of, even if it doesn't require him to risk his life...?
