Starting as a working person from Naruto

Chapter 464 Admiral Aokiji of the Marine Headquarters resigns and announces his joining the Konoha Pirates!

Bubbling...

The Den Den Mushi's voice came through urgently.

Satan waited quietly for the Den Den Mushi to connect, his face still showing an air of complete control, as if he didn't care about the Sengoku issue at all.

Snap...

The Den Den Mushi was connected.

However, for some reason, Kizaru on the other end of the Den Den Mushi didn't answer the phone for a long time, and when he did, he seemed listless and unmotivated.

"Moses, Moses..."

"..."

Satan Saint's eye twitched.

Is this Kizaru really suitable to be a Marine Admiral?

It took him so long to answer his Den Den Mushi (snail phone), and he even seemed unwilling to work!

That's all...

Now it's like being forced into something.

Saint Satan gripped the Den Den Mushi tightly, intending to have a proper talk with Kizaru about his promotion to Fleet Admiral: "Borsalino, Fleet Admiral Sengoku has resigned from his position, and the World Government has decided to promote you to Fleet Admiral of the Marine Headquarters..."

Obviously.

Satan Saint had no intention of hiding it from anyone.

When Kizaru answered the phone, Akainu and Akihara Kagura were beside him, and they both heard Satan Saint's announcement.

to be honest…

This was a bit unexpected…

"!!!"

Akainu looked at Kizaru with some surprise.

Although Akainu believes he took the blame for Akihara Kagura's actions and is unlikely to become the Fleet Admiral, it's impossible for Kizaru to become the future Fleet Admiral, right?

after all…

This guy is usually so unreliable...

Akainu believes that his rival, Aokiji, has the highest chance of becoming Fleet Admiral.

but…

Why did it have to be Kizaru's turn?

"..."

Akihara Kagura watched Kizaru answer the Den Den Mushi and a slight smile appeared on her lips.

"..."

Kizaru immediately noticed Akihara Kagura's gaze. He saw the smile on Akihara Kagura's face and could only offer a forced smile to his true superior.

Seriously…

The Five Elders really love to cause him trouble...

Kagura Akihara, her superior, had already decided that Akainu would be the future Fleet Admiral of the Navy. How could she, as his subordinate, possibly go against her superior's wishes?

Moreover…

The Navy has so many administrative tasks…

I am not suited to be a naval admiral.

"May I refuse...?"

Kizaru, holding the Den Den Mushi, slowly declined the promotion offer.

"This is an order from the World Government! You have no right to refuse!"

Satan's words were imbued with unwavering resolve as he said in a deep voice, "Borsalino, your first task upon being promoted to Fleet Admiral is to deal with Vice Admiral Akihara Kagura and Admiral Sakazuki of the Marine Headquarters who attacked Figarand Gringus..."

"..."

Kizaru instinctively moved the Den Den Mushi away.

Kizaru stared at the Den Den Mushi's face, which resembled that of Saint Satan.

Kizaru frowned slightly, as if he felt that what he had just heard was just his imagination. He even spoke up aloud, "Hmm? Was it just my imagination? I think I just heard Saint Satan's voice?"

"Borsalino!"

Satan's voice immediately turned heavy, becoming sterner than ever before: "Don't pretend to be deaf and dumb on the Den Den Mushi..."

"..."

Kizaru really didn't want to talk to him.

no…

Satan Saint, have you gone mad?

Or did the Celestial Dragons think that he, as an admiral, was too stupid?

"I have no way to handle this..."

Kizaru's face still wore a smile, but there was an undeniable hint of sarcasm in it: "There's one more thing. If I'm to be promoted, I'd like to resign from my position as Fleet Admiral..."

"Borsalino!"

Satan's voice carried a hint of rage.

however…

Satan Saint, however, had absolutely no way to deal with Kizaru.

The Five Elders felt like he was going crazy with anger. His voice was no longer authoritative, and even through the Den Den Mushi, it no longer had the composure befitting an old man; it sounded rather irritable.

"Okay, okay!"

"Anyway, you're not the only general!"

At this moment, Satan was so angry that he wanted to smash the Den Den Mushi. At the end of the call, he vented his anger: "Send Aokiji to Mary Geoise, and let him get promoted..."

Borsalino.

Akainu's voice reached Satan's ears.

Akainu raised his hand, demanding a Den Den Mushi from Kizaru, and said with a somewhat serious expression, "Let me speak with Saint Satan for a few minutes..."

"Okay, okay..."

Kizaru simply handed the Den Den Mushi to Akainu, but when he saw Akainu take the Den Den Mushi, his expression became subtly complicated.

This guy…

Are we going to get lost again?

Kizaru and Akainu are from the same hometown and were classmates in the Navy training camp. Whether it was training or combat promotion, they were together most of the time. In their spare time, they were also friends who would occasionally go to hot springs and have afternoon tea together.

Kizaru knows Akainu very well.

When Akainu offered to take the Den Den Mushi, Kizaru understood what Akainu meant: this man was going to bow down for his ideals.

Akainu wants to become the Fleet Admiral of the Navy.

Akainu wants to uphold his justice on the high seas.

Akainu wants to wipe out all pirates on the seas, eliminate all evil, and completely end the Great Pirate Era started by Gol D. Roger.

however…

All of this requires the support of the Celestial Dragons.

At least for now, Akainu needs the support of the Celestial Dragons.

But...

It doesn't necessarily require the support of the Celestial Dragons.

Kizaru and Akihara Kagura had only recently discussed Akainu, and Kizaru even knew that Akihara Kagura was determined to hand over the future position of Fleet Admiral to Akainu.

In Kizaru's view, this means that after the Konoha Pirates end the Celestial Dragons' rule, they will not disband the Navy, but Akainu will take command of it.

It all starts at one point…

That is, Akainu and the Celestial Dragons parted ways.

However, Akainu's desire to speak with Satan made Kizaru feel that Akainu, who had already been pushed away from the Celestial Dragons' power area, seemed to want to move back in...

"..."

Kizaru watched Akainu walk away with the Den Den Mushi, his gaze slowly shifting to Akihara Kagura, where he saw a knowing smile on her lips.

"!!!"

Kizaru felt a chill run down his spine.

What does your boss's smile mean?

Did this boss ever guess that Akainu would rejoin the Celestial Dragons?

"How is it?"

Kagura Akihara looked back at Kizaru, her smile seemingly mocking yet also exuding an air of nonchalance: "Admiral Borsalino, do you think Sakazuki will become Fleet Admiral?"

"That might not be true..."

Kizaru raised an eyebrow slightly. He watched Akainu walk towards the deck of the warship, listening to Akainu's apology to Satan, and casually remarked, "For Sakazuki, keeping his Admiral position is probably the limit..."

"Satan Saint was simply blinded by the navy's victory..."

Kagura Akihara waved to the newspaper bird flying above the warship, took a newspaper from the bird, and even paid it 100 Berries.

"Once Saint Satan realizes the true extent of the threat posed by the Konoha Pirates, the Five Elders will probably grow a new brain, right?"

Akihara Kagura opened the newspaper in her hand, glanced at the headline, and then handed the newspaper to Kizaru next to her.

"Has the new newspaper come out yet?"

Kizaru looked somewhat bored, seemingly uninterested in the newspaper news: "Probably another report about the Navy capturing two Yonko..."

just now…

Everything was like oil being poured over a raging fire.

Since the Navy arrested Kaido of the Beasts and Charlotte Linlin and reclaimed the Sabaody Archipelago, people all over the world believe that the World Government has gradually stabilized its situation from a disadvantageous position, and some even believe that the World Government is still the ruler of the world.

however…

When Kizaru opened the newspaper in his hand, a look of surprise flashed across his eyes. He stared intently at Akihara Kagura beside him, as if he could hardly believe it!

On the front page of the newspaper in Kizaru's hand, a line of huge bold text and a photo of a tall man appeared, shocking everyone in the world!

[Marine Admiral Aokiji announces his retirement from the Marines and joining the Konoha Pirates, becoming their musician!]

This is…

When did this happen?

For a Marine Admiral to actually leave the Marines and announce that he would join the already powerful Konoha Pirates is like slapping the World Government in the face!

The news that a Navy Admiral had retired from the Navy made headlines across the ocean, leaving the world government and navy with no face to save!

The scariest thing is...

This matter was completely unknown before the Sabaody Archipelago incident, and then suddenly a bombshell was dropped when the Sabaody incident was being discussed all over the world!

"Lieutenant General Kagura..."

Kizaru looked at Akihara Kagura beside him. He knew that none of this could escape Akihara Kagura's control, and asked, "When did this happen?"

"Tsk..."

"What a pity..."

Kagura Akihara shook her head and sighed, taking the newspaper back from Kizaru's hand. She calmly said, "Admiral Aokiji has always wanted to join the Konoha Pirates. All the members of the Konoha Pirates originally planned to gather at Sabaody Archipelago, but unfortunately, Admiral Aokiji still harbors a unique tenderness towards the Navy and is unwilling to cooperate with us in causing such a major incident at Sabaody Archipelago..."

"well…"

"What a gentle man..."

Kagura Akihara seemed quite satisfied with Aokiji's demeanor, and continued slowly, "The victory at Sabaody Archipelago was Admiral Aokiji's final gift to the Navy..."

Kagura Akihara glanced down at the photo of Aokiji in the newspaper. In the photo, he had taken off his naval admiral uniform and was only wearing a dark blue trench coat. He looked like an ordinary artsy young man, and there was no indication that he was a powerful former admiral.

New world.

Punk Hazard.

A golden ark is moored in this harbor.

A group of naval personnel stationed nearby stood trembling on the island's land, not daring to make a move, fearing they would be wiped out by the pirates on the Golden Ark.

Even Vice Admiral Vergo, the garrison commander of the G5 branch of the Navy, dared not make any move. No matter how strong he was, he dared not step forward rashly at this time.

of course.

The Golden Ark shows no intention of taking any action.

Because a tall man wearing a navy blue trench coat stood in front of the group of sailors, his face covered by sunglasses.

Admiral Aokiji of the Navy Headquarters.

No.

Or rather...

He should be referred to as former Admiral Aokiji of the Navy Headquarters.

As the trouble caused by the Konoha Pirates grew bigger and bigger, more and more secrets were hidden within them, Aokiji had been wanting to leave the Navy and join the Konoha Pirates.

This idea…

This reached its peak after the Enies Lobby incident.

During the Sabaody Archipelago incident, the Konoha Pirates issued a rallying order, specifically inviting Aokiji to leave the Navy and join their crew while he was at Sabaody Archipelago.

result…

Aokiji refused.

Because Aokiji knew the World Government and the Navy's operational plans, he knew how much impact his separation from the Navy would have, and that it would inevitably lead the Sabaody Archipelago incident in an uncontrollable direction. He did not want to inflict heavy damage on the Navy at that time.

Not everyone in the Konoha Pirates is a bad guy, so they simply gave Aokiji face and asked him to wait for them at Punk Hazard, their first stop in the New World.

The Konoha Pirates' Golden Ark sailed to Punk Hazard, ordering Aokiji to kill Vice Admiral Vergo, the commander of the G5 branch, as a pledge of loyalty to the Konoha Pirates.

Unfortunately…

Admiral Aokiji still cherishes the old friendships of the Navy and hopes that Konoha will spare Vergo and his group of Navy members from the G5 branch, as these weaklings are unlikely to pose a threat to them.

"Could you please let them go?"

Aokiji adjusted his small sunglasses and continued softly, "The news of my leaving the Navy and joining the Konoha Pirates should already be circulating at sea. Whether we kill these people or let them live, it makes no difference to us..."

"snort…"

Madara Uchiha laughed contemptuously, looking down at Aokiji below, and coldly mocked, "Your joining Konoha means absolutely nothing to us..."

Aokiji...

Did he think no one could see his purpose in joining Konoha?

Apart from fools like Boa Hancock and Bartholomew Kuma, everyone on this ship, including Hawkeye Mihawk, has sharp eyes.

Aokiji's goal is to obtain the secrets of the Konoha Pirates!

This guy…

He's a spy!

The Konoha Pirates are extremely sensitive to espionage, having all suffered at the hands of a double agent. And Aokiji, that bastard, doesn't even bother to pretend; he practically has "I'll work for you, you give me secrets" written all over his face…

"Really..."

Aokiji shook his head and sighed, seemingly feeling hopeless about his future: "It's really annoying to be met with a cold shoulder. At least I can help out with things like beer and music on the ship..."

"snort…"

Madara Uchiha disdained these things of enjoyment.

However, Sasori stepped forward and stopped Madara Uchiha. Looking at Aokiji standing below, he calmly asked, "Are you really not going to kill the Marine commander here?"

alright…

The last glory of the world government and navy has come to an end…
