Chapter 541
The latest website: Tianlong people's arbitrary actions, defiant...
In the eyes of many people, it is already ingrained.
But the operation of removing the position of General Fujitora was still unreasonable beyond Akainu's cognition.
I don't know whether to say that Tianlong people are ignorant and stupid, or they are overconfident.
In the current situation, how important is the combat power of a general?
Do you still need him to say this?
Akainu's face was gloomy.
In fact, he also knows that once the upper management makes a decision, no matter how hard he argues, nothing will change.
Those higher-ups didn't want to hear, even if he said it countless times in person, it would be impossible for him to be heard.
And if the upper echelons are willing to hear it, he can get a response by just throwing a fart.
"Grumbling--"
The anger and anger in Akainu's heart were vented into lava, and the order and the desk were burned to ashes.
Since sitting in this position, I have realized that many things cannot be achieved.
No matter what, it depends not on right or wrong, but on the attitude and decision of the upper management.
If it was before-
As a general, he will only carry out his duties and complete the task to the fullest without asking for any reason.
But now he is the marshal.
Therefore, it is no longer possible to consider the problem from the perspective of a soldier.
He has to shoulder the responsibility of being a marshal, for the world, for this era... to kill the existence of pirates!
However, the current world government is different from the world government he had previously identified with.
He sometimes even felt that the orders assigned by the upper levels of the World Government were dragging him down like a pig teammate.
For example, this order to cater to the mood of the Tianlong people is simply outrageous.
But he can't do anything...
bow your head,
This is the price to pay for walking up the stairs.
If you want to keep your head down, unless you can go all the way down the steps to the top...
But his ideal is not to stand on the apex of power, but to end this damn era of great pirates.
Akainu realizes that some things can no longer be counted on to the top, so in order to deal with some changes that may happen in the future, he must leave a back-up as soon as possible.
"Listen to the logistics side... You have burned four desks this month."
Fujitora slowly put down the bowl.
He couldn't see it, but he knew what had just happened.
The smell of sulphur permeating the office was quite pungent, but fortunately he had already finished eating the noodles.
Akainu looked at Fujitora when he heard the words, suppressed his anger and said, "It seems that you have no opinion on this 'resignation'."
"The old man has neglected his duties many times, and it is right for him to be held accountable and discharged."
Fujitora took a towel and wiped his hands.
Judging from the many facts that have happened, he has indeed failed to fulfill his duties as a general in all aspects.
It was originally the responsibility of Kizaru and him.
only--
The yellow monkey died in battle.
Then, all the responsibility is naturally borne by him, Fujitora.
But on the other hand, it was also because Kiabou sacrificed, so Fujitora was willing to accept all the blame.
Anyway, things have happened.
Fujitora would accept the situation calmly.
Maybe someone will be thinking...
Why did the Navy lose so many times to Maud?
Even in the case of taking the lead, have you never taken advantage of Maud?
However, Fujitora would not think about that.
He put the towel next to the bowl, and then reached out and fumbled to pick up the cane leaning against the side of the sofa.
Akainu frowned, looking gloomy as Fujitora picked up the cane and got up.
The order came from the upper level, and when Fujitora sat here and finished eating the noodles, Akainu's brows did not loosen.
"Don't forget, you're still a navy."
He looked at Fujitora who was about to get up and left, and said in a low tone.
The Navy Headquarters can reluctantly accept the abdication of Admiral Fujitora, but cannot accept Fujitora's departure.
A general-level combat power is irreplaceable!
Fujitora's movements stopped abruptly.
He didn't respond to Akainu's words, tapped on the ground with a cane, and groped towards the office door.
Akainu watched Fujitora silently.
It wasn't until Fujitora walked out of the office and left for a while before he retracted his gaze and turned to look at the phone bug that survived the burning of the boiling lava.
......
on the corridor.
The sound of clogs stepping on the ground was mixed with the sound of a cane hitting the ground.
Fujitora, wearing a purple robe, was walking down the corridor.
The navy encountered on the way will silently give him a military salute.
His words and deeds in the silence clearly showed that Fujitora was still regarded as a general.
From this, we can also see the prestige and weight of Fujitora in the navy.
In the face of silent salutes from many admirals, Fujitora did not respond.
He walked all the way to the corner of the corridor, then stopped abruptly.
By the corner of the wall, Garp with white hair was leaning there, apparently waiting for him here.
"have a drink?"
Karp opened his mouth to invite.
Fujitora turned his head to think, but he soon became reminiscent of the taste of the soba noodles just now.
then.
He asked back, "Is there soba noodles?"
"Ha ha."
Karp laughed: "Enough."
After half an hour.
In a cemetery where there are no bones to bury.
Garp and Fujitora sat cross-legged in front of a stone plaque with their names engraved on them.
Two people holding wine glasses.
The refreshing aroma of wine wafted out of the cup.
"What's your plan after that?"
Garp stared at the rows of familiar names on the stele and asked where Fujitora was going.
Fujitora couldn't see, but he was also staring at the stone tablet, as if he could see the name on it.
He took a sip, then answered Karp's question in a calm tone.
"Sakaski hopes that the old man will continue to stay as a sailor."
"Oh?"
Karp raised his brows and asked, "Then what's your decision?"
"leave."
Fujitora said, slowly pouring the remaining sake in the cup in front of the stone monument.
"yes……"
Karp sighed.
He expressed regret over Fujitora's departure.
Seeing that Fujitora had made up his mind, he didn't even try to hold back.
Fujitora put down the glass and said calmly, "There are some things that can only be done by sitting in the position of the general, but there are other things that can only be 'see' more clearly when you leave that position. No matter where you go, the way this old man wants to go... Yes It won't change."
His original intention of joining the Navy was to abolish the Shichibukai system that would seriously threaten the country.
Now.
The Qiwuhai system was abolished, and his original intention was completed.
Then what should we aim for?
No need to think about it at all.
Although the eyes cannot see, the heart is not blind.
Just follow your heart.
Karp tilted his head to look at Fujitora and sighed: "I seem to have heard similar words somewhere, but the old man knows that on the road of practicing justice, you must be the one who has gone the furthest."
Fujitora was silent for a while.
After a while, he said slowly: "After leaving the headquarters, the old man intends to see Maud first."
"..."
Garp looked at Fujitora silently.
It stands to reason that the naval legend who should hate Maud the most should have aroused a reaction because of Fujitora's words.
But there was only peace on the face that had been engraved by the years.
Seeing Garp's sudden silence, Fujitora didn't speak for a while.
There was silence in front of the tombstone.
Occasionally a breeze blows in, blowing up the withered fragments of petals that have fallen by the tombstone for many days.
The wine poured on the ground gradually dried.
But the wine aroma becomes more intense.
"Smile, it's your words..."
After a long time, Garp spoke.
"It will definitely see farther and clearer than we can."
"..."
There was another silence in front of the tombstone.
After a while.
"It's cold..."
Fujitora whispered.
........
Castle in the Sky.
The island of the apex, inside the castle.
Maud sat on a gold chair made of solid gold by Tezzolo.
This is Tezzolo's request.
Because it wasn't a big deal, Maud did his best to satisfy Tezzolo's request.
It's not superficial cooperation, but really let yourself adapt and get used to sitting on the golden chair.
So even if he is alone in the room, he will sit on the golden chair instead of the softer sofa.
Maud's eyes were lowered, and he was playing with a solid gold ring engraved with the word "tiger" in his hand.
Back to base camp during this period of time.
He was waiting for news from the Revolutionary Army, and also waiting for the World Government to take action.
In addition, it is to let Luo work hard to quantify the effects of all aspects of pure gold and fierce medicine.
As well as the wine iron ore in the country of Jean and no, as an important material for the mass production of pure gold rings.
It is worth mentioning that.
The craftsmanship of Wano country is remarkable.
It would save Tezzolo some effort.
suddenly.
A sound of wings flapping came from the balcony.
Maud knew it was Lafayette just by hearing the voice.
Because Lafayette is the only person who can come to him from the balcony every time.
"Are they gone?"
Maud looked at Lafayette.
They were referring to the Straw Hats.
"Hoho..."
Lafayette instantly realized that Maud was referring to the Straw Hats, pursed his lips and smiled: "Yes."
He came here to tell Maud the news.
But before he could speak, Maud asked instead.
Thinking about it, he used the super-wide range of knowledge and domineering to 'saw' the departure of the Straw Hats.
Maud nodded at Raphael without asking any further questions.
With the current world situation, even if Luffy has the aura of the protagonist, it is impossible to do anything during this period.
So he has no interest in what the Straw Hats do next.
It can only be guessed that Luffy hurriedly set sail this time to find Ace who was left there by him.
Maud lowered his head slightly and looked at the pure gold ring in his hand.
a few days ago.
He gave Usopp a shadow-coated solid gold ring in the name of the master, and clearly informed the value.
In the end, Usopp gave Luffy the pure gold ring.
I want to come to Usopp's point of view, the use of moves will consume Luffy's life, more need this ring.
Because it was Usopp's choice and decision, Maud didn't say anything, but wouldn't give Usopp another solid gold ring.
The Straw Hats, whose fate has changed drastically from this moment...
After that, what will happen?
Nobody knows.
Moder is sure--
The light on the world stage will only shine on him in the end.
"Lafayette."
Maud suddenly looked up and looked at Lafayette.
"Call Jinping over."
"OK."
Lafayette turned to spread his wings and flew out of the balcony.
Maud watched Lafayette leave, and immediately put away the pure gold ring that was going to be given to Fujitora, and then picked up the newspaper that was pressed against the corner of the table.
The newspaper published a heavy news-
Navy Fujitora relinquishes the position of admiral.
In addition to this heavy news, the rest of the pen and ink has been spent on his Maud Pirates, and the recently very active Vinsmoke family.
After the Mercury Island celebration event came to an end...
The world's media has not stopped carnival because of the passage of time.
Every day I do my best to report everything about the Maud Pirates.
Tossing, that is, pouring "firepower" on the permanent pointer to Ralph Drew.
After all, in the eyes of the world, Maud has already got Ralph Drew's permanent pointer.
Therefore, the media is constantly reporting high-profile, so that the world always pays attention to the trends of the Maud Pirates.
They need to know-
The Maud Pirates, who hold the permanent pointer of Ralph Drew, are ready to set off to the final island and get the big secret treasure left by the Pirate King.
Some people are watching, some people are taking action.
Many famous pirates in the New World have already rushed to Maud's base camp one after another.
Not to stop Maud, but to join Maud's command.
Join if you can't.
Very normal!
Moreover, most of the pirate circles pay attention to strength and respect, and the weak eat the strong.
Whether it is strength or reputation, Maud can completely conquer them.
so.
It is not so much that they want to join Maud's command, it is better to unilaterally beg Maud to accept them.
This is the current situation.
Maud, who published the statement in the newspaper that Ralph Drew's permanent pointer was not in his hands, must have been unbelievable.
Just after a few glances at the latest news, Maud put down the newspaper.
"If there is enough time..."
Maud leaned on his cheeks and said to himself: "Let's relocate the 'fishman island' first."
Letting the murlocs live under the sun was the promise that Maud gave to the murlocs before, and it was also Shipin's expectation.
Now.
Now that the base camp has taken root here, it is time to fulfill the promise.
Maud thought about using Noah's Ark to take over all the murlocs, and then directly blow up the entire murloc island.
On the one hand, it may threaten the Red Earth Continent and the holy land on the Red Earth Continent, and on the other hand, it is difficult for the pirates in the first half of the Great Channel to enter the new world.
but.
Maud, who was accustomed to thinking about his companions, finally gave up the idea.
After all, his team has the ability to move the entire fishman island, so there is no reason to destroy the homeland of the fishmen.
"Dong dong."
The door was knocked.
Maud looked at the door, and saw the outline of the green pheasant outside the door clearly and domineeringly.
"Come in."
"crunch-"
Qingzhi pushed in the door and said lazily, "It's only noon, and about five hundred pirates have already arrived..."
"yes?"
Maud raised his hand to his chin and asked, "Can Violet hold it up?"
Aokiji shook his head.
Violet's staring fruit ability can remotely monitor any "guests" who come to the waters of Wano Country.
And after meeting the distance conditions, you can also directly see people's hearts.
So, Maud put Violet in charge of screening those pirates who wanted to join.
Those who have bad intentions will be thrown directly into prison by Shiliu.
Those who committed serious crimes would be executed directly by Shiliu.
Those who really want to join are temporarily accommodated.
For these troops who took the initiative to send to the door, Maud had no reason not to accept them.
Anyway, since you can come through the difficult words of Wano country, then don't think about leaving.
But there are too many people coming to the door, and Violet's physical strength seems to be overwhelmed...
