Facts have proven.
There's no blank space that should exist in the history of any civilization.
Whenever a blank historical period appears, some well-intentioned people will take it upon themselves to fill in the history.
The history filled by these well-intentioned people doesn't matter if it's true or false; it will gradually replace the past history and substitute the real history.
The history actively written by Akihara Kagura is certainly highly questionable in its authenticity because its significance is as a scapegoat's attack on the World Government, only accepted by the uninformed masses.
However...
That is quite enough.
The World Government would find it difficult to refute the rumors.
Unless they can find the legendary Grand Treasure, or unless the King of the World hidden in Mary Geoise takes the initiative to speak about past history.
But then...
What good would that do?
Who knows whether what they say is true or not?
After all, everyone knows the World Government is no longer trustworthy!
"That's about it..."
Akihara Kagura glanced at the stack of papers Karin had recorded, tapping his fingers lightly on the table: "Why hasn't the battle at Drum Island's port ended yet? Anyway, nobody's going to die, just finish it up quickly..."
"It should be ending soon."
Karin closed her eyes, her perception ability enveloping the entire island: "Admiral Aokiji is unable to stop them; the Konoha Pirates have retreated, and everything happening at the port is proceeding as Lieutenant Kagura planned..."
At the port of the Drum Kingdom.
Aokiji, leading the Navy support, happened to see the Buggy Pirates already sailing away, fulfilling the purpose of letting Clown Buggy go.
"Ice Age!"
Aokiji decisively unleashed a powerful chill, freezing the sea completely, but it couldn't stop the Konoha Pirates' escape!
All the present Navy officers could only watch as nine gigantic wooden dragons broke through the ice, dragging the massive sea ship towards the distance.
Aokiji's body leaped, his feet stepping on Moonwalk to chase after the sea ship, a series of sharp sword qi flew out instantly, striking Aokiji's body!
The body of this Admiral shattered into pieces in an instant!
Aokiji had to elementalize, turning into ice shard fragments scattered on the ice, which quickly spread and merged, slowly reassembling his body.
Clearly.
Everyone could see that Aokiji alone couldn't possibly catch up with them, and this Admiral seemed to have done his best, unable to block the opponents even after freezing the whole port.
"Hmm?"
Aokiji looked back at a group of Navy officers with shocked expressions, but didn't see Akihara Kagura among them, rubbing his hair in frustration: "Ah la la la... I'll report this to Headquarters, you don't need to stay here, go do what you should be doing!"
"Admiral Aokiji..."
A group of Navy officers didn't know how to respond.
Navy Headquarters, Marineford.
Admiral Sengoku was also a participant.
In a sense, Sengoku the Buddha could also be called the mastermind behind Clown Buggy's escape; he actively reported the position of the warship escorting Clown Buggy to the Konoha Pirates.
In the Navy Admiral's office.
After learning about Aokiji's release, Sengoku felt relieved: "Don't worry about the trouble of Buggy's escape, hurry back to Marineford and tell me more about that pirate crew, I want to know more about that pirate crew..."
After receiving Aokiji's radio snail, Sengoku didn't blame Aokiji for being captured by the Konoha Pirates. He's not a pedantic Admiral and wouldn't hold Aokiji accountable for this.
Sengoku is more concerned about Aokiji's safety and the information on the Konoha Pirates; as long as Aokiji is released and returns, it would be the most worthwhile trade for the Navy...
The only trouble...
Would probably be the Five Elders' reprimand.
There's no need to worry about this, as the Konoha Pirates have agreed to take the blame.
Once Sengoku obtains the Konoha Pirates' information, he can directly report to the Five Elders at Mary Geoise, claiming a powerful pirate crew deliberately targeting the Heavenly Celestial Dragon has emerged.
Then...
The Five Elders would have to deal with this trouble.
At least Sengoku doesn't want to deal with this trouble at the moment.
"But... I want to find out their whereabouts..."
Aokiji held the radio snail, worried about Akihara Kagura's trouble, fearing he would obtain the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.
Now...
He only has less than a month left to resolve the Akihara Kagura issue.
Just as Aokiji was contemplating whether to mention Akihara Kagura to Sengoku, he saw Akihara Kagura holding a cup of pear juice, smiling with squinted eyes as he walked over, gesturing for silence, seemingly not wanting him to continue talking with Sengoku.
"Once I find out their whereabouts, I'll head back to Marineford."
Aokiji hung up on Sengoku after saying this.
"Do you need me to tell you their whereabouts?"
Akihara Kagura watched Aokiji's actions, speaking with a smiling face: "After all, you're one of us now, so there's no need to hide it from you. They've found some secrets left by one of the Twenty Kings who founded the World Government, Nefertari Lili."
"Wait, this surname..."
Aokiji's eyebrows furrowed tightly, his expression changing instantly, his eyes twitching: "If I remember correctly, the surname Nefertari seems to be the royal family of the Alabasta Kingdom, but the royal family of Alabasta didn't reside in the Holy Land Mary Geoise..."
