Chapter 479
Chapter 479
After the war, the naval headquarters lost the peace and tranquility of the past, and was replaced by devastation and lifeless wailing.
The seven-hour attack on New Marineland finally came to an end.The criss-crossing pits and bullet marks record the fierce battlefield that once took place.
Burnt trees and cracked earth intertwined with the suffocating smoke and pungent smell.
The strong wind swept the yellow sand and flew past the streets and alleys of the island, leaving a picture full of holes when it hit the ground.
Endless ruins and dilapidated buildings turned the entire island into a desolate wasteland.
The shirtless Akainu sat on top of the ruins, holding a cigar and looking at the sea full of battleship debris and corpses in front of him with a deep look in his eyes.
The rose tattoo on the left chest keeps rising and falling with the beating of the heart, and blood is constantly oozing out from the wounds on the body, looking hideous and terrifying.
There were soft and heavy footsteps behind him, but Akainu did not look back.
The person stood beside him and opened the document in his hand.
"In this battle, we lost 71 warships, 8658 soldiers died, and 13769 were injured."
“Admiral Fujitora, Lieutenant General Momotu, and Lieutenant General Cha Dou are missing.
Master Akaitis and all CP0 of the Knights of God were killed in the battle, and most of the lieutenant generals were seriously injured. "
"The prison was broken into, and all the spies caught before were kidnapped, including those who were already dead."
"All the prisoners held inside were killed, and no one was left alive."
"The following branch bases were attacked by pirates. Among them, the g3 and g7 detachments suffered more than half of their casualties. The remaining detachments were only held back, but the personnel did not suffer much loss."
"What does it mean that Fujitora is missing?"
Akainu spoke calmly.
"There were signs of a fight in the office. The body of CP0 who was guarding him was found in the room. He had been dead for a long time."
"Judging from the sword marks on the wound on the corpse, the person who took action must be General Fujitora."
The palm placed on the thigh suddenly tightened, and the blood vessels on the back of the hand bulged almost at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"The Revolutionary Army attacked the holy land of Mariejoia. The large fleet under the Straw Hat Pirates intercepted the surrounding detachments coming to support them. On the other side of the Sea of Mist, Red Earl Baloric Redfield blocked them.
They cut off all the navy's escape routes, and with just one team and a few machines, they severely damaged the navy headquarters.
And its purpose is just to rescue the dozen or so undercover agents in the prison whose identities have been exposed. "
"Is this the strength of the Four Emperors..."
"It's really strong."
Gabriel chuckled, but his tone was very calm.
Akainu frowned slightly when he heard what he said.
"Evil people have great power, and this world will never have peace. Power will encourage evil..."
"Then is the Navy considered the evil side or the righteous side?"
Gabriel interrupted abruptly.
Akainu lowered his eyelids and said in a slightly dissatisfied tone: "What are you talking about, bastard..."
"For the civilians who are oppressed and exploited by the navy, are we considered good or evil?"
After hearing this, Akainu naturally realized that his adjutant's mood was not right.
His sharp eyes swept over the young man beside him, and his tone was serious: "Don't underestimate the justice and honor of the navy, you bastard!"
Hearing Akainu's words, Gabriel chuckled softly.
"Sure enough, the people who know you best in this world are actually your enemies."
These profound words made Akainu look slightly startled.
Gabriel handed the document in his hand to Akainu.
"I have compiled the intelligence information here and reported it to the world government.
An order was also issued to deploy manpower from various detachments to participate in subsequent rescue and reconstruction work.
On the other side of the Sea of Mist, orders were also given to the lieutenant general leading the team, asking them to lead the team back to the headquarters. "
"I have already prepared the documents for the removal of General Fujitora, Lieutenant General Momotu, and Lieutenant General Chado, and they will be distributed to the entire army after your approval.
I have also sorted out the new candidate list for generals. Once you approve it, you can submit it to the World Government. "
Gabrielle rambled on about the work at hand.
He has almost arranged all the subsequent matters, and there are a few documents that require Akainu to review and sign.
Akainu was satisfied with his ability to do his job.
With Gabriel here, his workload has been reduced by almost half.
"There are no other urgent matters, and the work in hand has been handed over to the new adjutant."
"Starting from tomorrow, the new adjutant will take over my job..."
"and many more!"
Akainu was stunned.
"What did you just say? New lieutenant?"
Gabriel's expression remained unchanged as he dug out his resignation report from a pile of documents and handed it to Akainu.
"What do you mean?"
Akainu looked ugly.
Gabriel took off his uniform, folded it neatly, and placed it next to Akainu.
"I am also an undercover agent of the Revolutionary Army."
The nine words were extremely light and short, but they pierced into Akainu's heart like a red-hot steel needle.
After reacting, Akainu's body temperature suddenly rose sharply, and the rose flower on his left chest became more and more vivid.
The resignation report in his hand had long been melted into powder, and a cold and murderous aura enveloped his body, making Gabriel almost breathless.
"You! Very good!"
Akainu gritted his teeth and breathed rapidly.
He stood up suddenly, raised his hand and strangled Gabriel's neck. The exposed wound was pulled by his large movements, and blood spilled out again.
"You've been with me for six years!"
"The person I trust most is you!"
"I didn't expect that your revolutionary army actually started planning all this six years ago!"
"I really underestimate you!"
Although the temperature on his hands was not as high as the magma, it was still something that someone of Gabriel's strength could not withstand.
The skin on the neck was instantly burnt, and the scent of meat spread out.
Severe pain spread throughout his body, but a strange smile appeared on Gabriel's face.
Seeing that his throat was about to be burned, Akainu still suppressed the anger in his heart and withdrew his hand.
"Oh!"
His body fell heavily on the ruins, and the pain made his consciousness go into a trance.
Ignoring the painful skin and damaged vocal cords, Gabriel glared at Akainu angrily and roared with a hoarse and rough voice.
"Twenty-two years ago, in O'Hara, the West Sea, on the civilian escape boat you ordered to bombard... there were my parents..."
His eyes were covered with red bloodshot eyes, and his face was red from pain or anger.
Akainu narrowed his eyes. Although he was a little surprised by Gabriel's strong hatred for him, he didn't feel any guilt in his heart.
"That's it?"
"If you want to criticize my decision back then, let me tell you, even if I do it again, I will make the same choice!"
The extremely indifferent tone severely tore open the scabbed wounds.
Gabriel looked at him steadily, his eyes filled with coldness.
Akainu looked at him without hesitation, his attitude still very tough.
After a long time, Gabriel burst out laughing.
"As expected of Marshal Akainu who upholds 'absolute justice'.
It's a pity that after following you for so many years, I still haven't learned your cruel temper. "
He was lying on the ruins laughing wildly, with physiological tears even overflowing from the corners of his eyes.
"Lord Anne is right, being soft-hearted will only encourage the evil in others' hearts."
He slowly took out a connected phone bug from his arms and placed it on the ground.
Akainu narrowed his eyes.
The phone bug suddenly opened his mouth: "I have already said that people like him will never feel guilty for his original behavior.
From his point of view, he did nothing wrong. "
"Why do you have to..."
The female voice on the phone sounded rather regretful.
"If I had known you had such a temper, I shouldn't have let you get close to him."
"Evil ghost!"
Akainu looked solemn.
Gabriel smiled sadly.
"Yeah, from his standpoint, he didn't do anything wrong.
But is that stance his true stance? "
"If it was true, why couldn't he just keep going to the end?"
If you were really a 'loyal dog' from the world government's perspective, I wouldn't be so unwilling! "
"If you were really the same kind as those beasts, I wouldn't feel any guilt for what I did!"
Upon hearing his words, Akainu's eyes dimmed, and the color in his eyes was unclear.
"I know you all have your own opinions, but I can't forgive you."
"So, when I learned about this undercover plan, I joined it without hesitation."
"In order to get closer to you, I have studied a lot of information and information about you.
Join the Navy and work your way up from the bottom.
I will be transferred to your subordinates and accompany you from general to marshal.
I established an intelligence network in the navy and monitored the navy's movements at all times..."
Sakaski kicked Gabriel in the waist and abdomen, and the severe pain made him silence briefly.
"Are you trying to piss me off?"
Akainu was a little angry, but still tried his best to suppress his emotions.
Because he knew that these two people must have some agenda when they were performing this act in front of him.
Gabriel chuckled.
"Have you found that it's difficult to control your emotions now?"
Akainu thought for a few seconds, and then his whole body suddenly shook, and his domineering aura spread involuntarily.
"what have you done?"
His expression at this time was extremely ugly, and his anger almost overwhelmed his reason.
"I put medicine in your daily diet, little by little, so subtle.
As time goes by, your emotions will become more and more out of control.When emotions explode, the brain will also lose clarity.
This situation is formed bit by bit, and you will not notice it at all. "
"You are really looking for death!"
The right hand became elemental, and the scorching hot magma dripped onto the ground, making a 'puff-puff' sound.
Before he could use the Dog-Eating Red Lotus move, the voice on the other end of the phone stopped him in time.
"Marshal Akainu, your emotions are currently out of control."
Reason took the high ground, and the fist he punched was deflected by half an inch, and one of Gabriel's arms was burned to ashes.
He bit his lower lip, forcing himself not to make a sound.
He was dripping with cold sweat, his face was pale, blood spilled from the corners of his lips, and his whole expression was twisted in pain.
"So, what do you two want to do?"
He forced himself to calm down and spoke to the phone.
"Gabriel is smart, but too soft-hearted and has too high a moral bottom line."
"Although he hates you and harms you, he always remembers how you promoted him and how you saved his life on the battlefield several times.
His good and evil are not pure enough, so he is in pain.
Now that the undercover mission was over, he couldn't shake the emotions that were plaguing him.
Therefore, he wants to come to settle things with you. "
"Finished?"
"Death in my hands is the end for him?"
Akainu's voice was full of sarcasm.
"I don't understand what he's thinking."
"That's between you two."
Annie smiled.
"I have a business to discuss with you. I wonder if you are willing to listen?"
"You just led people to attack my territory, and now you come to me and tell me you want to negotiate business with me?"
"Ha~ I have nothing to talk about with you despicable pirates!"
Anne didn't care much.
"It doesn't matter, just think that I am here to discuss business with you as a revolutionary army."
"I know you are biased against me, but you might as well listen before making a conclusion."
After his emotions calmed down, Akainu regained some of his sanity.
Seeing her wise tone, I became a little curious about the business she mentioned.
Seeing that he didn't refute, Annie spoke on her own.
"A person who is extremely rebellious and opinionated. He has a firm pursuit of his own ideas. How can he be willing to let the justice he insists on be smeared and contaminated by the mess of the World Government?"
"Marshal Akainu, you are the one who hopes more than anyone else that the navy fish can be independent on the sea, right?"
Akainu's eyes moved slightly.
Now he understood what Gabriel meant when he said, 'The person who knows you best in the world is your enemy'.
"You saw clearly the future of the Navy earlier than anyone else, and you also understood earlier than anyone else that the 'justice that rules the sea' sought by the former Warring States Marshal will eventually come to nothing.
It is even clearer that what the five old stars, the highest power center of the world government, want is a 'world balance' in which the navy, pirates, and the world government stand side by side.
So you plan to open the "eye of the storm" between the navy and the world government in your own way.The grave of 'the balance of the world' has been dug.
The "absolute obedience" you have shown to the world government in the past will hardly win the favor of members of the naval system.
The previous Marshal Warring States, including the Commander-in-Chief Gang Gukong, had always supported the 'moderate' Kuzan.
However, "War on the Top" gives you an opportunity.
The fight with Whitebeard won you a highlight moment, and it was all done at the risk of your life.
It is precisely because of this that you, who are "obedient", have won the help of officials outside the system.
The fierce battle with Kuzan in Punk Hassad for ten days and ten nights accumulated more reputation and capital.
You know how much control the World Government has over the military.So he has been keeping a low profile and defrauding the favor of senior officials.
After becoming the marshal, you carried out drastic internal reforms, expanded the navy's combat power, liquidated the Shichibukai, plotted against the Four Emperors, secretly protected Fujitora, and allowed the revolutionary army to slap the government's face again and again...
You wish to separate the 'justice of the navy' from the 'justice of the world government'.
The purpose behind all kinds of actions is actually to get rid of the control of the world government.
such a pity..."
There was a hint of schadenfreude in Anne's tone.
“There are too many things holding us back.”
"Not only does the World Government go into trouble every day, but even the Navy, which I worked so hard to pull together and came to this world with the attitude of 'absolute justice', has long been reduced to an empty shell."
"You only remember to be on guard against the intervention of the World Government, but you forget about the revolutionary army hiding in the darkness, eyeing you with eagerness."
Akainu's face was as black as ink.
Although he was surprised to be seen through by her, the attitude and tone of the person who caused all the trouble still made him very angry.
"Are you just saying this to insult me?"
"Hehe~"
Anne chuckled.
"of course not."
Her tone instantly became calm.
"Marshal Akainu, let's cooperate!"
