Chapter 173 Akainu and Zephyr!
Although Shanks has turned a blind eye to the World Government's efforts to plant a sting in the Navy Headquarters and gradually undermine the power of the Navy's top brass since he took the position of Admiral of the Navy, he also sits there like a Buddha statue and says nothing about some of the World Government's measures.

But all this is only because these actions of the World Government did not touch Shanks' bottom line!

Fundamentally speaking, Shanks is a person who pursues peace and loves life! Harmonious development and bloodless change are what Shanks wants to see!
But war is not!
Shanks will never sit back and watch the World Government start a war! Given the current situation of the Navy, most of the Navy's top brass don't want to start a war at this time!

After thinking for a while, Saint Satan said, "The Navy Headquarters is not a monolithic organization. We may be able to make some preparations!"

The other four Five Elders all looked at Saint Satan, and Saint Nasshoulang asked, "Prepare for both situations? How do you say that?"

Satan Saint explained: "First, we can directly tell Shanks about the elite troops strategy and ask him to contribute manpower. I don't think he will refuse this!"

The other four Five Elders nodded when they heard this. Shanks was a smart man and understood that the World Government would never sit idly by and watch this matter!
And the elite troops strategy is also in line with Shanks' philosophy!
Satan Saint continued: "Secondly, we can bypass Shanks and directly give orders to the more radical generals in the navy, such as Admiral Akainu Sakaski!"

"Since Shanks took the position of Admiral of the Navy, Sakaski has never returned to the Navy Headquarters, nor has he attended a meeting with Shanks in attendance!"

"It can be said that Sakaski's current relationship with the Navy Headquarters is similar to that of the pirate guerrilla group that Zephyr originally formed! They have a lot of autonomy!"

"If we let Sakaski do this, we can do it without alerting the Navy Headquarters and Shanks!"

Mazishen frowned and said in a deep voice: "Two questions! First, does Sakaski have that strength? Second, does Sakaski have that number of troops?"

"In terms of combat capability, Sakaski is qualified, but if he is alone, can he deal with the group led by Blackbeard?"

"Also, although there is no precise data, Blackbeard and his men have developed tens of thousands of subordinates in the New World these days. Can Sakaski's troops encircle and suppress them?"

Saint Satan naturally understood this, and said calmly: "So it depends on whether we are willing to provide some assistance to Sakaski!"

The other four Five Elder Stars looked thoughtful upon hearing this, weighing the pros and cons of this matter!
Satan Saint continued, "I personally agree to support Sakaski, the eagle general in the navy, to grow up!"

"Before we decided to let Shanks become the Navy Admiral, didn't we also hope that Sakaski would succeed him as the Navy Admiral?"

"And the reason for making this decision is because Sakaski is cold-blooded, cruel and bloodthirsty. He will stop at nothing to kill pirates!"

"Although people like this are a bit stubborn, they are closer to the interests of our World Government than those weak navy who care more about the lives of the untouchables and always disobey the orders of our World Government, aren't they?"

"Besides, before we completely control the navy, a divided navy headquarters will be more beneficial to us than a complete navy headquarters!"

The other four Five Elders were all interested when they heard this! It must be said that among all the high-ranking officers of the Navy, Akainu is indeed the one who best suits their interests!
Take the demon-killing order against O'Hara decades ago, for example. According to the World Government, everyone on O'Hara Island was to be killed, completely cutting off the possibility of the secret being leaked out during the blank 100 years! But the Navy came up with a humanitarian refuge ship, giving those civilians a chance to evacuate!
Out of considerations of justice and morality, the World Government cannot say anything about the Navy's actions! They can only swallow their anger and acquiesce!

However, a radical named Akainu appeared among the high-ranking officers of the navy. He fired at the civilian refuge ship without hesitation, leaving Nico Robin, the son of the devil, as the only survivor in O'Hara!
It has to be said that Akainu's actions made the Five Elders of the World Government very satisfied. It was from that time that Akainu entered the vision of the Five Elders and established contact with the Five Elders, who made the Five Elders come forward to protect him many times!

If it weren't for this, with the murders that Akainu had committed over the years, he would have been kicked out of the navy long ago, let alone become the admiral of the navy!

But even so, Saint Wouchuri still said hesitantly: "Sakaski is indeed a good talent that we were very optimistic about before, but it is also because of this that we have already fallen out with him when we pushed Shanks to the top!"

"Isn't it the best proof that Sakaski has been preventing our people from joining his troops these days?"

"And I heard that Sakaski has been getting close to that old guy Zefa who has left the navy!"

"Is Sakaski still trustworthy?"

The other three Five Elder Stars except Saint Satan nodded when they heard this. This was also the problem they were worried about!
Saint Satan said, "Originally, Sakaski already thought that taking the position of Admiral of the Navy was a sure thing. At most, he would have to compete fairly with Kuzan!"

"Not only is the position of the Marine Admiral gone, but the one who became the Marine Admiral is Shanks, who was once a pirate. It's normal for Sakaski to be a little upset and not want our people to join his troops!"

"If Sakaski didn't do this, I would have reconsidered him! People who endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens are even more terrifying!"

The other four Five Elder Stars nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

If a person is powerful, cold-blooded and cruel, and also patient and restrained, then he has almost no weaknesses!

They dare not use such people!
"As for being close to Zefa, haha," Saint Satan sneered and continued, "If it was the Zefa from before, I would naturally have nothing to say, but don't forget that the current Zefa is a lunatic who is even crazier than Sakaski!"

"Sakaski's ideas are not in line with those of the senior members of the Navy Headquarters, and Zephyr's ideas are closer to his. In addition, Zephyr is Sakaski's teacher, so isn't it normal for the two of them to get closer?"

The other four Five Elders remained silent after hearing this. Akainu's recent actions were indeed reasonable and there was nothing suspicious about them!

What Saint Satan said is not impossible to consider!
