Chapter 915: At this point, I can only sacrifice Akainu's face
New World, Torrant Sea.
“Are you kidding me?!”
As expected, Akainu, who received the order from the Five Elders to 'retreat temporarily and wait for instructions', immediately became furious.
You know, they just issued the order of "general attack in three days" yesterday, and it has now been passed on to all the navy brought here, but they have to retreat the next day?
Changing orders every day will only damage the prestige of the navy and your own face!!
"If we retreat like this, where will my face be?" Akainu issued his own protest to the Five Elders.
Immediately afterwards, Akainu heard a taunt that made him extremely angry.
"What's your face worth? It's worthless compared to the lives of the Celestial Dragons!!"
"Don't say you are just an admiral. Even if you are a naval marshal, you have to follow my orders!!"
"Soldiers' orders are to be obeyed, all you have to do is follow them!!"
"If you don't want to do it, we can always find someone else to do it! I advise you not to be ungrateful!!"
"What? Do you really want those 30,000 navy soldiers to die? Just for your worthless face? Or do you want to use their lives to accumulate your own military merits?"
The Five Elder Stars cursed to their heart's content and then hung up the phone, but Akainu sat in the office, almost exploding with anger.
These bastards!!
How dare they say such things?!
Am I doing this for face? Am I doing this for military merit? Am I that kind of person?
Who ordered me to bring the navy here a few days ago? And who ordered me yesterday to launch a general attack on Cake Island in two days? Wasn't it you five old guys who only know how to sit in Marinjoa and drink tea and chat? !
I am a naval admiral who made my living through military merit. I have always followed military orders, and I have done everything I could to punish evildoers and restore peace to the sea. But now these five old men are actually turning around and slandering the justice in my heart? ?
The more you endure, the stronger and angrier you will become; the more you take a step back, the more you lose!
Akainu was furious, and his clenched fists could not control the flow of red-hot magma, which dripped onto the table, burning the table in front of him black, leaving holes in it, making sizzling sounds, and emitting bursts of white smoke.
It was only twenty minutes, but Sengoku in Marinford and Akainu in the Torant Sea reached a rare consensus on some aspects of their thoughts.
Akainu has always regarded himself as an iron-blooded soldier, pursuing "absolute justice", obeying the orders of his superiors 100%, and showing no mercy to all unstable factors such as pirates, revolutionary army, and world government rebels he encounters, even if it means hurting civilians!
But this time, he really had this absurd feeling of 'what on earth was he obeying orders from'!
Soldiers must abide by orders and prohibitions, because only such an army is a good army. However, in the military, it is also taboo to change orders every day, because that will cause those who give orders in the army to lose prestige. A team that has lost its prestige will find it difficult to exert sufficient combat power, no matter how well-equipped, how firm the soldiers' beliefs are, and how clever the military advisor's layout is, and it may even face phenomena such as soldiers deserting during combat.
Akainu would definitely not want to see that the future navy would be a bunch of cowards who would escape before or during a battle, so he has always shown enough majesty, ruthlessness, and finality in front of his subordinates, and completely obeyed all orders from his superiors!
But now, even such a person does not want to surrender and obey the orders of the Five Elders to take the soldiers back!
The pirates were right in front of him. As a navy admiral, how could he retreat without a fight? !
The call with the Five Elders has been terminated, but Akainu is still sitting in his seat in a daze. He feels that he needs to contact Marshal Sengoku!
Unfortunately, Sengoku’s Den Den Mushi couldn’t get through because he was talking to Kizaru.
"That's what happened. Let's continue the operation and arrest Buggy the Joker as soon as possible! The Wizard's position is still undecided, so we don't need to focus on him for now. As for Ace the Fire Fist..."
说到这里，战国犹豫了一会。
难得有这个机会，他心里其实是想把艾斯抓起来，然后引出白胡子，将他的海贼团一网打尽，从而提高海军的影响力的。
As for whether the navy would become enemies with the five major forces of the New World at the same time, Sengoku was actually not worried.
First of all, in the New World, from the very beginning, Sengoku didn't want Akainu to get involved, nor did he plan to make such a big fuss. Who knew that the Five Elders had to make a big fuss? It’s better to retreat now, and when the battle between Kaido, Big Mom and the wizards is over, they can go and pick the peaches .
Then there was the question of whether arresting Buggy would attract Red Hair, and Sengoku said he was not worried.
Everyone knows that, except for Big Mom and Whitebeard, most pirates will not go to sea as a family. Even if two people are brothers or father and son, they may not take the same ship. Basically, they play separately.
Now looking back, would Red Hair really go to the extent of declaring a full-scale war with the navy to save a friend of mediocre ability whom he hasn't seen for more than 20 years?
The answer is: Impossible!
Buggy is different from Ace. Ace is Whitebeard's 'son' and has been on his ship for three years. He is on brotherly terms with those squad captains. So if Ace is captured, Whitebeard will definitely come to rescue him!
But what about Buggy? His only connection with the Red Hair Pirates is that he is an old friend of the captain, and an old friend who has not been seen for more than 20 years. He has no great relationship with the crew itself.
Not to mention whether Red Hair himself is willing to cause turmoil in the New World, even his subordinates would not accompany their captain to make trouble just because of a stranger named Buggy!
From this perspective, the Navy’s concerns are not as numerous as imagined.
Thinking of this, Sengoku gave the final order to Kizaru on the other side of Den Den Mushi: "Catch Fire Fist Ace as well!"
"……I see."
Kizaru put away the Den Den Mushi and looked at Zhan Taomaru beside him, "Did you hear that? Capture Buggy the Joker and Ace the Fire Fist, and ignore the rest!"
Although Sen Taomaru has been following Vegapunk, he is no political novice and quickly understood Sengoku's plan: "Master Sengoku wants to fight the Whitebeard Pirates? Why? Does he want to establish the prestige of the navy again?"
"This kind of thing is seen through but not spoken out. We just need to follow orders."
"Don't worry, I'm the most tight-lipped man in this ocean!" Zhan Taowan picked up the axe, his face full of pride.
…
Sabaody Archipelago, under tree number 19.
Gildarts, Cana, Ace, Buggy and the others stopped running. There was a Pacifist in front of them, on their left, and on their right - they were finally found and surrounded on three sides.
"That's... Bartholomew Kuma, one of the 'Seven Warlords of the Sea'??!"
Unlike Gildarts and Kana, the father and daughter who had just arrived, Buggy and Ace, who had always paid attention to maritime intelligence, immediately recognized each other's identity.
"Why would someone like that be here?? Also, why are there three identical giant bears?!"
"Could it be that they are triplets?"
Kana punched her father on the head and said speechlessly, "Idiot! They all have numbers with the words 'PX—' on them, so they are definitely not normal humans! I guess they are robots, right?"
After she said this, everyone felt that it made sense, but...
"What kind of robot would use the image of a giant bear as a template?!"
Before they could figure out the reason, they heard the big bear in front of them make a mechanical electronic voice: "Find the target 'Joker' Buggy, launch an attack!!"
Then, the three pacifists opened their mouths and raised their hands at the same time.
Nine golden laser muzzles suddenly appeared in front of everyone's eyes, accompanied by a rapid "beep beep beep" sound.
"What?!"×N
"No! Get out of the way!"
Boom boom——!!
Nine lasers were fired towards the center at the same time, and the continuous explosions turned the area they surrounded into a scorched earth.
"What a terrifying attack power...!!"
Buggy, who was taken out of the danger zone at the critical moment, couldn't help but look back when he heard the sound. He was immediately frightened and broke out in cold sweat and smacked his lips.
"Stop looking around and be serious. We are surrounded now!"
Buggy's minions can be ignored. There are still four fighting forces here, three Pacifists. The four of them divided the work tacitly, with Gildarts and Ace dealing with one each, and the last one will be left to Cana and Buggy to deal with together.
"Can you handle it, little girl?" Buggy stared at the big red nose and looked at Kana beside him with suspicion, as if he was very worried about her ability.
Realizing that she was probably underestimated, Kana sneered: "I'm definitely better than you anyway! I can easily deal with this kind of guy!"
After saying this, Kana stared at Buggy with her eyes sharp, as if waiting for him to laugh at her. Then she would use her powerful strength to kill the robot in front of her in seconds, and finally slowly appreciate the shocked expression of the clown.
However, surprisingly, not only did Buggy not mock her, but he was relieved and gave her a thumbs up: "That's good... I'll ask you to protect me in the next battle!"
"Get lost!! Who will protect you?!"
