Starting as a working person from Naruto

Chapter 425 No, are the highest levels of the Navy excluding Admiral Akainu?

"Let's go."

Akihara Kagura waved her hand somewhat helplessly.

"Then I would be extremely grateful..."

Fujitora, somewhat embarrassed, tapped the ground with his cane-sword and asked again, "Would it be possible for me to choose a place to chat?"

If we ignore Fujitora's height of 2.7 meters...

The newly promoted vice admiral kept his eyes tightly shut, his hands gripping the ground with his cane and sword, like a frail, blind old man...

His face even held a pleading expression, which evoked sympathy in people, making it hard to refuse his request.

"..."

Akihara Kagura suddenly smiled.

"You've been seen through...?"

Fujitora may not be able to see, but his intuition seems to sense that Akihara Kagura is smiling: "Lieutenant General Kagura's smile suggests that she doesn't care much about where we're chatting, nor whether there's any danger in the place we're going..."

"What confidence..."

Fujitora's brows furrowed slightly, his face turned slightly to one side, as if he was still trying to sense Akihara Kagura's thoughts: "Even I am a little unsure of what to do."

"That's enough."

"anyway…"

"I guess I'll just have to be a busybody for now..."

Fujitora drew his cane sword and drew a circle on the floor where he and Akihara Kagura were. He then manipulated a huge semi-cylindrical floor rock to detach from the ground, break free from the constraints of gravity, and fly into the sky.

"Please don't worry..."

Fujitora maneuvered himself through the air, turning back to reassure Akihara Kagura, "I know of a little-known island..."

"To a deserted island?"

Akihara Kagura stood calmly on the rock slab, showing no fear whatsoever: "This doesn't seem like you want to have a proper conversation..."

"after all…"

Fujitora didn't seem to care and calmly continued, "Communication between men... it's difficult to persuade someone with just words..."

Fujitora is a kind-hearted person.

This kind-hearted person wanted to mediate the conflict between Akihara Kagura and Green Bull.

Because Akihara Kagura had genuinely revealed her intention to assassinate her colleague, Fujitora also wanted to test Akihara Kagura, hoping that this colleague wouldn't act too extremely.

The man wanted to persuade another man…

Most of the time, you can't just rely on words.

If you want someone to listen to you, you must prove that you have the strength or status to make them listen. Fujitora and Akihara Kagura are both vice admirals in the Navy. Akihara Kagura is obviously not very obedient, so Fujitora has to rely on his power to persuade Akihara Kagura.

Unfortunately…

Akihara Kagura had a similar idea.

Just as they were flying into the distance, Aokiji seemed to see this scene. He breathed a sigh of relief; at least someone was willing to handle the conflict between his colleagues…

Before he could even catch his breath, a dog-headed warship docked at the port, and Vice Admiral Garp leaped down and landed in front of Aokiji!

"Kuzan..."

Garp's gaze was fixed on Aokiji, his eyes seeming to age at that moment, and he softly made his request: "I want to see Luffy."

"Mr. Garp..."

Aokiji couldn't refuse the man's request. He only hoped that the old man wouldn't do anything foolish, lest he fall into an abyss of no return.

"I won't do anything foolish."

Garp could read Aokiji's eyes. He reached out and shook the Justice Cloak on his shoulder, then looked up at the World Government flag above Enies Lobby.

That flag has flown around the world for eight hundred years…

now…

I find it increasingly annoying the more I look at it…

Garp walked step by step towards the temporary detention center on Enies Lobby, casually asking, "I think I just saw Akihara Kagura and Fujitora Issho leave here?"

"yes…"

Aokiji seemed to get a headache again at this thought. He hoped Fujitora could persuade Akihara Kagura, but he also hoped that Fujitora wouldn't clash with Akihara Kagura, since that guy could use the Konoha Pirates...

Unfortunately.

Everything is not as one wishes.

On a deserted island.

Fujitora knew perfectly well that Akihara Kagura wouldn't listen to reason, so he directly stated his demands: "Let's have a duel. If I lose, I will no longer concern myself with other people's business; if you lose, I hope you can put aside your grudge against Vice Admiral Green Bull, and I will also persuade him to apologize and not to make any further disrespectful remarks..."

to be honest…

Fujitora's betting match was quite disadvantageous to him.

Even if Fujitora wins, he won't benefit from it and will still need to use some means to persuade Green Bull to apologize. This lieutenant general really just wants to be a good person.

"The betting isn't fair."

Akihara Kagura shook her head and decisively added a condition: "If I lose, everything will be done as you say; if I win, Green Bull will be spared the death penalty but will still be punished, but you need to promise me one thing..."

As she said this, a smile appeared in Akihara Kagura's eyes, a smile that Fujitora noticed without any attempt to hide it.

"and…"

"Anything..."

"..."

Fujitora hesitated.

Because the stakes were far too high for him.

Even if he were to lose to Akihara Kagura, Fujitora couldn't convince himself to break his promise. He thought for a while before slowly nodding...

to be honest…

Fujitora originally had the determination to win...

Aside from the three admirals of the Navy Headquarters, who are considered the strongest fighters, Fujitora believed that no one in the Navy could rival him. However, when he faced Akihara Kagura, his keen, almost intuitive senses did not give him a sure chance of victory…

"it is good."

"I agree."

Fujitora nodded slowly, reached out and drew his cane-sword. Gravity Fruit powers gradually appeared on the cane-sword, and he said in a deep voice, "If I lose, I will definitely not break my promise."

After saying that, Fujitora stomped one foot on the ground!

next moment…

The gravity of the entire earth shifted in an instant!

Akihara Kagura suddenly felt a heavy pressure on his body, and his feet even sank directly into the soil!

"This is a hundred times the force of gravity..."

Fujitora, gripping his cane-sword, calmly explained his abilities: "If you weigh seventy kilograms, it means you have to withstand seven tons of pressure, and I'm used to fighting under that level of gravity..."

Seven tons of pressure…

It would be fatal for an ordinary person.

For powerful figures on the high seas, seven tons is not a small amount. For example, Garp and Aokiji were not completely unaware of the weight when training on dilapidated warships weighing several tons...

of course.

Even Fujitora is no exception.

The man slowly walked towards Akihara Kagura, his steps becoming extremely slow as he endured immense pressure while simultaneously manipulating the surrounding gravity.

"This ability is pretty useless against lightning..."

Akihara Kagura raised her palm, and a ball of lightning formed in her hand, transforming into a thunder dragon. The thunder dragon roared without restraint and pounced on Fujitora!

Fujitora swung his staff sword, and a repulsive force formed by gravity suddenly erupted, instantly shattering the massive thunder dragon!

"ha?"

Akihara Kagura chuckled, and lightning crackled in her hands once more. Two bolts of lightning struck Fujitora from either side, yet they were intertwined, like two lightning snakes!

however…

Fujitora didn't care at all.

Despite Akihara Kagura's strong attack capabilities, Fujitora transformed the gravity around him into repulsive force, directly sending the two lightning snakes flying!

Obviously.

This lieutenant general, who rose through the ranks in the World Military Draft, is no ordinary man. His control over the Gravity Fruit is so skillful that it seems almost instinctive!

However, to Akihara Kagura, these moves only seemed familiar, because he used to like using the repulsive force of Shinra Tensei to deflect all attacks...

"So gravity is converted into repulsive force..."

Akihara Kagura's smile remained, distant memories resurfacing in his mind. He rubbed his temples with his fingers: "Let me think... how should I deal with this repulsive force again?"

"This is the most fundamental force in the world..."

Fujitora remained unconcerned and calmly shared his insights.

only…

Before he could finish speaking!

Akihara Kagura's figure appeared beside Fujitora amidst flashes of lightning, raising her hand and throwing a punch at him. The immense force compressed the air as she slammed into him!

"This kind of attack is useless against me..."

When Fujitora tried to use his repulsive force again, he suddenly felt the enormous repulsive force he released bounce back when it touched Akihara Kagura, pushing him away!

"Forces act in pairs..."

Akihara Kagura's body slowly rose into the air. His gaze was fixed on Fujitora, who was flying backward, and he softly spoke of the drawback of repulsive force: "If it encounters something that the repulsive force cannot deflect, it will be applied to the caster..."

"You found the weakness so quickly?"

Fujitora immediately realized the problem, then quickly shook his head: "No, what's even more terrifying is a terrifying force that even repulsive force can't deflect..."

This is the most crucial point!

This Logia-type Devil Fruit Vice Admiral, who did not come from the Great Conscription but still soared to great heights, also possesses quite terrifying power!

"It's not that I found a weakness."

Akihara Kagura's body was already floating in mid-air, his palm slowly reaching towards the small island: "I used to like this power too. Let me show you how true repulsive force should be used!"

next second!

A tremendous aura suddenly erupted from Akihara Kagura!

"Shinra Tensei!"

An immense, almost despair-inducing repulsive force was released from Akihara Kagura's body. This repulsive force, combined with the power of Shinra Tensei and the Gravity Fruit, instantly leveled everything on the entire island!

All the trees and rocks on the island were overturned by the repulsive force of the Shinra Tensei attack, and were pushed directly into the sea by the force of the Shinra Tensei attack, leaving only an empty flat land!

Fujitora hurriedly raised his staff sword, altering the gravity around him in an attempt to block the oncoming Shinra Tensei, but was instead sent flying by Shinra Tensei!

Fujitora could only manipulate gravity to stay afloat and prevent himself from falling into the sea. He gripped his cane sword with a hint of disbelief, slowly letting himself float onto the island. Suddenly, something he had heard before came to mind…

but…

Fujitora didn't have time to ask those questions!

"Planetary Devastation!"

Akihara Kagura raised her hand directly at him!

A sudden gravitational pull was released from Fujitora's body, and rocks and soil instantly burst forth from the island, attempting to seal Fujitora away!

"Are you kidding me?"

Fujitora desperately tried to use gravity to repel the rocks flying around him, but he still couldn't stop his own gravity: "I'm quite certain... there should only be one Gravity Fruit..."

"but…"

"That fruit isn't the only one capable of using gravity..."

Akihara Kagura raised her hand and sealed Fujitora inside the stone sphere of Chibaku Tensei, then slammed her palm directly onto the sphere: "1000x Super Heavy Rock Technique!"

next moment!

The weight of the stone ball suddenly increased!

Fujitora, who was sealed away, felt that the force he was experiencing was particularly strange. The gravity of Chibaku Tensei was lifting him into the air, while the gravity of the Gravity Rock was forcing him to fall to the ground, making his body increasingly painful under the attack of the two forces!

Boom!

The enormous stone sphere finally crashed to the ground with a deafening roar!

The entire stone sphere shattered, and Fujitora, who had been sealed inside, was thrown out in a disheveled state, crawling on the ground and panting heavily!

Obviously...

Akihara Kagura is even better at using gravity than him!

He was about to be defeated by Akihara Kagura in his area of ​​greatest strength!

only…

This made Fujitora think of some things!

"Your ability gives me a bad feeling..."

Fujitora recalled some battle rumors he had heard about the Konoha Pirates and said in a deep voice, "It is said that the Konoha Pirates' vice-captain, Uchiha Madara, can also fight using repulsive force. I heard a name, Shinra Tensei. Such a miraculous ability must be quite rare..."

"you're right."

Akihara Kagura slowly floated down, revealing her connection to the Konoha Pirates: "I do have a close relationship with the Konoha Pirates, which is why I dared to so brazenly mention killing Vice Admiral Green Bull..."

"In fact..."

"My true thoughts..."

"The plan is to have the Konoha Pirates intercept and kill Vice Admiral Green Bull..."

"!!!"

The veins on Fujitora's forehead bulged.

This is…

What does that mean?

A rising Logia-type Vice Admiral in the Navy, actually colluding with the world's most terrifying pirate crew? Especially since he actually admitted it!

"I bet you already figured it out..."

Akihara Kagura chuckled and extended her hand to Fujitora: "Another reason I came to this meeting is to invite you to join us."

"..."

Fujitora gripped his cane sword tightly, not extending his hand, but saying in a deep voice, "I am a Marine, what I should do is..."

"Admiral Aokiji also knows about this."

Kagura Akihara interrupted Fujitora, directly revealing the inner workings of the Navy: "The entire highest echelons of the Navy, except for Admiral Akainu who knows nothing about this, include Admiral Aokiji, Admiral Kizaru, and even Fleet Admiral Sengoku, all of whom have close ties with the Konoha Pirates..."

"No one on this sea understands the evils committed by the Celestial Dragons better than the Admirals. Therefore, whether it's the Alabasta Incident, the Mary Geoise Incident, or the Skypiea Incident, they were all carried out through cooperation between the highest levels of the Navy and the Konoha Pirates..."

"..."

Fujitora was speechless for a moment.

This…

What does this mean?

If I don't join, will I be ostracized by the highest levels of the Navy like Admiral Akainu?

Although Fujitora also deeply despised the Celestial Dragons and the World Government's brutal rule, the fact that the highest levels of the Navy were all colluding with the Konoha Pirates inevitably shocked him greatly.

"so…"

Fujitora took a deep breath and revealed Akihara Kagura's purpose: "You want to use pirates... to overthrow the Celestial Dragons' rule? Aren't the Navy's top brass worried that the situation at sea will completely spiral out of control?"

"you say…"

Akihara Kagura's smile suddenly turned playful, as if mocking something: "Is there anything worse than the Celestial Dragons ruling the world right now?"

"indeed…"

Fujitora sighed and grasped Akihara Kagura's hand.

"It couldn't get any worse..."

Anyone who had a sheep bleed this time, did you experience back pain?

I'll be out of town for the next few days, so I brought a pack of amoxicillin with me. Will it be useful?
