The Navy couldn't even explain anything, they could only launch an attack on the Celestial Dragons beside them; at least they couldn't sit and wait for death at this moment!
Moreover, after Vice Admiral Karin issued the order, they didn't need to think about why they broke with the Celestial Dragons, they just needed to follow their supervisor and take action!
Celestial Dragons... that's all...
Many pirates on the sea are killing them...
The Navy, always oppressed and aggrieved, directly went on a killing spree at this moment!
"Are you... are you joking?"
At the back of the warship were Navy Headquarters Chief Inspector Sengoku the Buddha, Vice Admiral Tsuru, and Vice Admiral Garp all on one ship; these three elders of the same era were holding a bag of senbei and a cup of black tea, staring dumbfounded at everything happening.
Plop...
The black tea and senbei of the three elders all fell to the ground.
Nothing else.
This scene was too bizarre!
They had never seen anything like this in their era!
And what shocked and disturbed the three elders most was Akihara Kagura's identity!
"How could he..."
As the former Navy Admiral, Sengoku had single-handedly promoted Akihara Kagura, and he was very familiar with everything about Akihara Kagura: "How could Kagura be a member of the Konoha Pirates... when he clearly... had already chosen the Navy..."
Moreover...
This was Sengoku's proudest defection!
Sengoku felt the world was absurd like never before; he recalled learning that Akihara Kagura longed for justice, was just coerced by the Konoha Pirates, directly instigated Akihara Kagura to choose the just Navy, and even reverse-utilized the Konoha Pirates...
However...
This was too absurd!
He had instigated the master of the Konoha Pirates!
How could such a thing happen!
Why did such a thing happen to him, this elder!
Sengoku couldn't even imagine what humiliation he would face questioning Akihara Kagura at this point; he had let the master of the Konoha Pirates abandon Konoha and join the Navy!
"Vice Admiral Garp..."
A young Navy member stood beside Garp, whispering a reminder to the three elders: "Shouldn't we stop the battle on the Admiral's warship..."
"Oh yes, yes..."
Garp immediately fumbled, directly stepping with one foot onto the railing, rolling up his sleeves to reveal his powerful arm: "First capture those Celestial Dragon bastards!"
"Garp!"
Sengoku was somewhat helpless about Garp's discrimination against the Celestial Dragons.
But...
At this moment...
It seemed there was no better choice...
Because the most mysterious King of Heavenly Celestial Dragon Imu was slain by Akihara Kagura, only leaving two Five Elders and a group of remaining Celestial Dragons, it couldn't possibly threaten the Navy...
"Then let's go and help!"
Sengoku's body instantly transformed into a Buddha; under his foot, he leapt up, charged onto Akainu's Admiral warship, lifted a hand, and knocked a Celestial Dragon to the ground!
Garp was equally not outdone!
This Vice Admiral directly charged in, his fist instantly turned pitch black, instantly smashing a Celestial Dragon's head into the deck!
"Vice Admiral Garp!"
"Marshal Sengoku!"
The faces of a group of Navy soldiers flashed with delight!
Because the appearance of the former Navy Admiral and Navy Hero at this moment was undoubtedly the greatest reinforcement, they seemed to inject backbone into the battlefield here!
The battle on the entire deck became intense again!
While a group of Navy and Celestial Dragons clashed, only one person stood dazed in place; his brain reacted, just feeling his heart holding the magma Devil Fruit at this moment was as cold as the Devil Fruit he hated the most!
Indeed.
Navy Admiral Akainu.
This Navy Admiral stood in the middle of the crowd, with a cigar in his mouth emitting smoke, which slowly drifted away with the gust of wind from the people charging around him...
Myself...
Just what have I done...
Akainu slowly raised his head; everywhere he looked were clashes between Navy and Celestial Dragons. His eyes scanned his warship bit by bit, watching the Celestial Dragons and the Navy fighting together, watching the Navy Admirals and the two Five Elders fighting together...
Until...
Akainu saw Akihara Kagura at the prow of the warship; his gaze focused on Akihara Kagura's back, feeling his heart turning chilly again!
This guy...
How could he be the mastermind behind the Konoha Pirates?
Akainu reminisced about the bits and pieces after meeting with Akihara Kagura; they gathered at the Shampodi Archipelago to execute the World Government mission to retrieve Vegapunk...
That was...
Their first meeting.
Back then, Akihara Kagura was just a Vice Admiral but left a deep impression on Akainu because this Vice Admiral's methods were overly extreme...
Oh right...
Back then, Akihara Kagura had already shown hostility towards the Celestial Dragons and even used his name to attack Saint Figarland Garling...
Later...
They allied to clear the evil on the sea together.
Whether it was the lofty Celestial Dragons or those pirates plundering on the sea, all had to be cleaned up all the way...
A mastermind behind the Konoha Pirates; actually allied with him, this Navy Admiral wanting to destroy the Konoha Pirates; who could have thought such a thing would happen?
"..."
Akainu took a deep breath, letting his breathing gradually calm down. He was always a decisive Navy Admiral, knowing exactly what he should do.
"Arrest the Celestial Dragons on the warship."
This Navy Admiral Akainu issued his order, raising his fist, his fist instantly turning into magma, killing a Celestial Dragon on the spot!
For him...
There was no difference between arrest and killing.
Accompanied by Akainu also joining the battle, a situation of fighting in large numbers soon formed on this narrow Admiral warship; all Navies quickly regained control of the remaining Celestial Dragons.
Still fighting...
Only the two Five Elders and two Navy Admirals remained in the air.
However, whether it was the two Five Elders or two Navy Admirals, all had the ability to short-term flight in the air, and others couldn't help with anything.
"Akihara Kagura."
Akainu walked step by step towards Akihara Kagura at the prow; his stature tall among the crowd stood like a crane among chickens, walking step by step towards Akihara Kagura.
"Is this what you wanted?"
Akainu stood behind Akihara Kagura.
A group of Navy officers stood behind Akainu, including Sengoku and Garp among them, seemingly silently supporting this Navy Admiral with this manner.
Akainu didn't choose to attack, only asked, "At the beginning of the war, instigating a civil war between the Celestial Dragons and Navy to weaken threats against you guys..."
"No..."
"I just found it very interesting."
Akihara Kagura, with his back to Akainu, chuckled softly.
"..."
Akainu was silently speechless.
Akainu saw Akihara Kagura-half showing a weird smile on his face, as if treating the mutiny happening on this warship as a game.
"Just... interesting?"
Sengoku clenched his fists.
"Don't you find it interesting?"
Akihara Kagura slowly turned around, looking at the two former Navy Admirals who had cared for him, chuckling and saying, "These Celestial Dragons, the most wicked criminals on the sea, are finally captured by the just Navy..."
"You bastard!"
Akainu bit on his cigar; his anger steadily surged!
Even if this thing indeed made the Navy very recognized, it wasn't so for him as the Navy Admiral; they Navy were toyed with like clowns!
"Sakazuki, calm down."
Sengoku stopped the raging Akainu with a sentence, then looked back at Akihara Kagura, quietly asked, "Akihara Kagura, I have many things to ask you..."
At this moment...
Sengoku had so many questions to ask!
If Akihara Kagura was the master of the Konoha Pirates, then everything happening at sea...
"It was me."
Akihara Kagura seemed to know what Sengoku wanted to ask.
"Everything..."
Akihara Kagura slowly closed his eyes; at this moment, his voice became somewhat ethereal: "I was supporting them behind the scenes..."
