Pirates: Beyond Akainu

Chapter 96 The Bottom Line on World Government

Vice Admiral Dauberman, led by Commodore Xiu Zuo and Commodore Xiu En, returned to the Navy headquarters after completing the task of occupying Silver Mine Island.

As soon as they came back, a piece of news like a bolt from the blue came to this hard-core support force of Akainu who had just returned from victory.

That was when a fierce conflict broke out between the next Admiral of the Navy and the Five Old Stars, and then Akainu himself was detained in Marijoa and did not return for a day.

As if he had lost his backbone, Dauberman felt flustered. Given his level, he didn't know exactly what happened, but there were vague rumors that it was related to the two Tianlong people.

It is said that the Sengoku marshals who have not yet abdicated have gone to Marigioa to intercede with Akainu, but the five old stars have stayed behind closed doors, and the matter has reached a very serious stage.

"What the hell happened!?" Dauberman could hardly control his emotions.

Because no matter how he thought about it, Dauberman couldn't develop things in a good direction.

The next marshal had a conflict with Wulaoxing in person and was subsequently detained. No matter how you look at it, this is a sign that it will be abolished.

Not only Dauberman, but also Xiu En was even more excited. When he heard the news, his eyes turned white and his fruit ability, Rust, was unconsciously released.

Even Xiu Zuo, who had just surrendered, felt upset. His career, which had just started, seemed to be cut in half?
"Let's go see Teacher Zefa quickly!" Xiu Zuo suggested.

"I know it without you having to tell me!" Dauberman looked extremely angry. He even thought the Navy's justice coat was in the way, so he took it off and hurried to see Zefa.

Xiu Zuo and Xiu En quickly followed.

……

Zefa was busy in Akainu's office.

It was only a week before Akainu officially took over the position of marshal, and Sengoku had already handed over various naval affairs to Akainu.

During the few days when Akainu was away, Zefa was in charge of all daily matters at the Navy Headquarters. Zefa was very proficient in doing these things and took care of everything in an orderly manner.

Including the ongoing major matter of changing the positions of the current Navy Headquarters and G-1 Branch.

Until yesterday, after Akainu boarded the Red Earth Continent to meet the Five Old Stars but failed to return, Zefa stayed up all night and could no longer take his time.

At this moment, in addition to Zefa, there were Turan, Ghost Spider, Bastiu, and Dalmecia in Akainu's office.

boom!
The office door was violently pushed open.

It was Dauberman who led Xiu Zuo and Xiu En.

Unlike the three Daubermans who had just learned of the incident, Zefa and others acted relatively calmly.

This made Dauberman restrain his emotions and asked, "Are you guys discussing this matter? What happened?"

"Close the door." Ghost Spider crossed his arms. In front of him, the ashtrays were piled high.

Xiu En went to close the door and even locked it.

"Teacher Zefa." Dauberman first expressed his apology to his teacher for violently opening the door. After receiving a kind smile from Zefa, he found a seat and sat down.

Zefa: "Dauberman is also back, so let's start discussing our plan. This is related to whether Sakaski can leave Marigioa unharmed."

Dauberman, who felt that he was not keeping up with the rhythm, hurriedly said: "Wait, can you tell me first what's going on with the marshal?"

Xiu En was also eager to know, but this occasion was no longer for him to speak casually. He and Xiu Zuo stood aside.

Turan came out to explain. He was also standing. At the same time, he was the only one among the navy present who was not a disciple of Zefa.

"Lieutenant General Dauberman knows about the actions of the Golden City. Although we succeeded, two Tianlong people were killed. This made the marshal bear the blame and was held accountable by the Five Old Stars."

Dauberman and Xiu Zuo Xiu En behind him were shocked. They did not expect such a change to happen. No wonder the marshal was detained.

"You're shocked, aren't you?" said Dalmecia, who was wearing a dog-head mask: "Bastiu and I didn't even know that we participated in this operation. Teacher Zefa told us that no one in the navy knew about it. More than one hand can count.”

"Secretary Turan also told me." Zefa lied calmly.

"I was told by the Marshal himself." Turan told the truth.

The smoke at Ghost Spider's mouth did not stop. After listening to Turan's words, he said: "Since the Marshal specifically told you, it means that the Marshal wants us to do something outside to support him."

"Yes! The marshal specifically told him that the more noise we make outside, the safer he will be inside."

"The louder the noise outside, the safer it is inside?" Bastiu couldn't understand the wisdom of this sentence for a while.

Zefa took out a stack of plans, "Yes, this is the core purpose of this operation, and let's take a look at the specific steps."

Turan took the plan and distributed it to every navy present, leaving only one copy for Xiu En and Xiu Zuo to read together.

After reading.

Everyone present immediately understood the essence of this plan.

Zefa: "In order to implement such a plan, Sakaski specially prepared a large amount of money. I also believe that as long as the momentum is built up, Sakaski will return safely."

"I'll contact Morgans right away!" Ghost Spider was impatient and left with the plan in hand.

"I'm going to leave Speer to print a special report and quickly distribute it to the entire navy." Dauberman also started to take action.

Dalmecia and Bastiu looked at each other and said: "We are going to seek support from other lieutenant generals. Most of them hope that Senior Sakaski will be our new marshal."

Zefa nodded and agreed that everyone should start taking action.

The only one who didn't understand was Xiu Zuo. After several lieutenant generals left, he, who had been following Zefa all year round, seemed a little more casual and asked directly: "Teacher Zefa, does this make sense?"

Zefa did not answer, but Xiu En, who understood, said excitedly: "Of course it works! The world government is afraid that the killing of two Tianlong people will be known to the whole world, so we just let the whole world know about this. incident, and he added extravagant details to make the whole world think that the World Government was going to execute the Marshal because of this incident!"

Zefa glanced at Xiu En appreciatively, "Yes, we will make the world government's long-defunct face completely fall to the ground, and let every sailor know about it, so that sailors all over the world will be angry about it. , if Wulaoxing does not want the matter to escalate further and does not want to completely lose the naval power represented by Sakaski, they will definitely retreat and compromise."

Xiu Zuo: "I understand, but I think it doesn't make sense for ordinary people to know. For them, it's just a topic of conversation after dinner. The key is to let the navy know, then the navy has power! And all the big forces in the world who are ready to make moves know , so that the government does not dare to act rashly."

"Well, you two should go help too. If you want money, ask Turan." Zefa waved his hand.

Xiuen Xiuzuo went to do it immediately.

As a result, only Zefa and Turan were left in the office.

Turan is not a disciple of Zefa, so the title of Zefa is his former position. "General Zefa, I'm going to work first. I'm afraid that I won't have enough money to leverage the world's news."

"Go ahead and tell me if you have any other situations."

"I will."

Zefa sat on the chair and closed his eyes, so he could take a nap now.

This incident put too much pressure on Zefa, because from the beginning, Akainu told him everything before taking action, including killing two Tianlong people.

This shocked Zefa, and he once advised Akainu not to be so radical, but to take his time and figure it out slowly.

But Akainu said that the world didn't have much time for him.

"Okay, teacher, I must do this, because I really want to know where the bottom line of the World Government is. Killing two Celestial Dragons is the most appropriate thing. Besides, I will do it very cleanly and die without any evidence."

Zefa thought of Akainu's words again in his mind, opened his eyes slightly and looked at the ceiling.

"Is it necessary to go this far to test the bottom line... Haha, I am old and weak, I don't know how long I can keep with you, Sakaski... you must work hard."

……

……

Dressrosa.

A tropical island country full of passion and fairy tale dreams.

Amanda Roy finally arrived here with the snow girl Monet.

"I'm finally back!"

Set foot on the land of Dressrosa, Snow Maiden Monet couldn't help shedding tears.During the days when she was imprisoned by the navy, she even thought that she would never come back.

"Don't be too exaggerated. I was born in Dressrosa and I didn't react as much as you did." Roy curled his lips in disdain.

"What do you know! My family is here. Wherever my family is, my heart is home." Monet retorted.

Roy was even more disdainful, "A criminal gang is a criminal gang, don't talk about family members, it's disgusting."

After hearing these taunting words, Monet's face turned red and white, "Then you still have to join us!"

"No, I'm here to change you." Roy lit a cigarette and took a puff, "I'm here to show you what it means to be a real pirate."

"Tch! You've never been a pirate."

Roy didn't want to argue with Monet, so he rubbed his belly and said, "Let's find a place to eat first, and then report to the Don Quixote family."

Monet also felt hungry. After all, the two of them crossed the dangerous New World sea in a small boat, and there were few supplies on board.

"Then let's go to dinner first, and I'll let you know in advance so they can make preparations."

"It's okay, it's okay, let's go."

Roy pushed Monet into a restaurant casually, sat down, and ordered food. During this interval, the two of them took the time to communicate with each other. After drinking and eating, the two walked out of the noisy restaurant.

Returning to the prosperous streets of Dressrosa, there are many tourists, many shops, and perfect city construction.

Monet, the snow girl, pointed to the surroundings and said a little arrogantly: "How about it? Dressrosa has become prosperous in the past few years under our family's management. You don't know what a pile of rags we inherited back then."

"You are so damn brainwashed that you even believe it? You are pretending to be your mother in front of me! What details about Dressrosa will I not know!?"

For some reason, Roy became violent after coming out of the restaurant, as if something had happened to make him angry.

Monet sensed Roy's change in mood and did not dare to continue to anger him. Instead, he asked gently: "What's wrong with you? You suddenly got so angry."

"It's okay, I just can't stand others showing off in front of me!" Roy lit up a cigarette again and bit it hard!In my mind: Damn Akainu, you can’t even protect yourself and you still promise me, what kind of promise do you have?I don’t want to be an undercover agent anymore, I want to become a pirate completely!

That's right, Roy just contacted the Navy's dedicated line, and the person who answered the phone was Zefa. Then he learned that Akainu had been detained by the Five Old Stars for two days.

Monet was really a little afraid of Roy, and even wanted to make him happy, so he pointed at a toy soldier walking on the street and said: "Look at that! That's a living toy, how about it? Magical, right? It used to be Dressrosa doesn’t have that.”

But Roy spit out the cigarette butt and stood on the street and yelled at Monet: "Didn't you hear me when I told you to stop pretending? Do you think I don't know that the toy is a human being and is so glamorous in this country?" What dark and cruel methods does your Don Quixote family use to rule under the surface? I advise you again, don’t fucking brainwash yourself into believing it!”

Pedestrians on the street looked sideways, but people who live in the sun don't know what happens in the darkness. They didn't know what Roy was talking about and thought it was another pair of lovers quarreling.

This is very common in the passionate Dressrosa. In front of it is the famous scenic spot "Lovers Avenue".

"I...I just..." Monet was a little at a loss.

"Get out of the way, don't bother me." Roy pushed Monet away roughly, walked to a newsagent shop, and picked up the latest newspaper.

Monet, the snow girl, was stunned on the spot.

"Monet-chan! Long time no see!"

At this time, the Don Quixote family came to greet Monet.

Monet turned around and saw a long-legged beauty dressed as a maid carrying a weapon, and was pleasantly surprised: "Baby-5!"

"Oh, I was really shocked when I heard that you were captured by the navy. Fortunately, you escaped." Baby-5 gave him a big hug when they met.

"I also thought I would never see you again."

Baby-5 is taller than Monet. He hugged Monet to his chest like a child. After carefully examining Monet to confirm that there were no injuries, he asked again: "By the way, didn't it mean that there was a defected navy to save you?" Did you come out? Where are the people?"

Monet was embarrassed because Roy didn't know what was going on at the moment, and she was afraid that Roy would scare baby-5 too.

"This beautiful long-legged lady, I am the defected navy, Amanda Roy. It is my first time to meet you. It is a great honor to meet her."

Roy suddenly appeared in front of baby-5, and gracefully took his hand and gave him a gentleman's hand kiss.

Monet:? ? ?
Baby-5 even blushed with embarrassment and thought, no, this is the one I like!What if he confesses his love to me?I will definitely fall in love and be unable to extricate myself, ah!So embarrassing!

Baby-5 is very good at self-defeating. Even a beggar with a flat A can defeat her, let alone the handsome and unruly Roy.

Roy sneered inwardly when he saw Baby-5's reaction, thinking that he is another big-hearted and brainless guy. Doesn't Doflamingo have decent cadres under him?

Putting aside the inexplicably falling in love with Baby-5, the puzzled Monet pulled Roy aside and asked angrily: "Why don't you have this attitude towards me!?"

Roy: "What attitude?"

Monet was furious: "You were still attacking me just now!"

"Just now, I was in a bad mood, forget about it." Roy turned his face away.

In fact, what caused Roy's sudden change in mood was the latest news. He thought that Akainu could not protect himself, but he realized that he had underestimated Akainu.

"You dare to use the weapon of public opinion to force the palace. The future is limitless, Marshal." Roy even became excited and decided to do the undercover mission assigned by Akainu.

That's why there was a sudden change in Roy's attitude.

But Monet didn't know that a kind of inexplicable competitiveness unique to women made her feel aggrieved and felt that she was being treated differently.She looked at Roy fiercely: "You are so abominable! I will never forgive you!"

Roy secretly thought that something was wrong, he couldn't let Monet hate him, lest she make irresponsible remarks in front of Doflamingo.

"Actually, I have mental illness. Occasionally I will be so confused and emotional. Please be more considerate of me. After all, every time I do something like that, I regret and blame myself, but I dare not say it." Roy opened his eyes. Tell lies without changing his face.

"Ah? Is that so..." Monet looked at Roy with a trace of pity in his eyes.

"I'm very sorry for what you did before." Roy even bowed to Monet, showing his ability to bend and stretch.

This time, Monet felt embarrassed and waved his hand quickly.

"Well, it's actually okay. I didn't suffer any real harm. We will be partners from now on. We must help each other! Well! Help each other."

"Thank you!" Roy raised his head, looked into Monet's eyes sincerely and thanked him.

This made Monet blush.

"Hey! What are you doing? Come with me to see the young master!" Baby-5 is calling.

"I'm coming."

……

Dressrosa Palace Residence.

Doflamingo looked at the latest newspaper with a terrifyingly gloomy face.

On the first day, when he learned that Akainu and the Five Old Stars had a fierce conflict in person and Akainu was detained, an uncontrollable smile appeared on Doflamingo's face.

The next day, Akainu was still detained in Mariejoia, which made Doflamingo feel that even if Akainu did not die this time, he would be deposed as commander.

This is still a victory, and it relieves his hatred.

Only today Doflamingo saw that all major newspapers reported the same thing, "Death of the Celestial Dragon."

There were even joint petitions by many naval officers, including the signatures of the former Marshal Warring States, which appeared in the newspapers in a grand manner.

Seeing this, Doflamingo understood that Akainu would not die, and his position as commander would not be affected.

"Can a simple-brained battle-hardened dog like Akainu come up with this kind of trick? It's probably Zefa, Jiang is really old... Fufufufu."

"Young Master, Monet is back, and the defecting navy who brought her along is here." A younger brother came to report.

"Oh? I almost forgot about this, Fufu, start arranging things around me, right? Let's play with you." Doflamingo adjusted his flamingo glasses.

"Tell them to come in, just Monet and the navy."
