126 126 Aokiji Vs Akainu
Pangea Castle, Holy Land Mary Geoise.
Five Elders gathered together, each wearing a dignified expression on their face.
"We've lost contact with that Donquixote family kid"
One of the Five Elders stated with a serious tone.
"Has Whitebeard arrived in Dressrosa?"
Another one of the Five Elders frowned but quickly shook his head. "Forget it, we don't need to worry about him. We have more important matters to deal with."
Just now, they received a news
Kaido, Golden Lion, and Big Mom are forming an alliance to confront the Whitebeard Pirates.
"The threat posed by these three individuals is huge; their alliance could lead to unimaginable consequences!"
Said one of the Five Elders with a long beard
"That's not certain!"
"Maybe it's a good thing for them to form an alliance to deal with Whitebeard. That way, we'll have time to deal with the big conscription"
Said one of the Five Elders with glasses calmly.
"Yes."
"The world is on the brink of chaos. With the World Government and Marine's current power, it's not enough to control the entire world. We need to strengthen our forces quickly"
One of the Five Elders with beige hair nodded
"Then let them fight amongst themselves. Regardless of the outcome, it weakens the power of the pirates. It's only beneficial for us and poses no threat!"
Said the Five Elders with white hair.
"But..."
The Five Elders who had spoken earlier still had some reservations.
"Now we don't have time to deal with Whitebeard. Just now, Marines sent a message saying that Admiral Aokiji is extremely dissatisfied with Akainu's authority. The two are ready to start a decisive battle and fight for the position of Fleet Admiral!"
The Five Elders wearing glasses sighed.
After the Festival Island War, Sengoku came to the Holy Land Mariejois and resigned as Fleet Admiral.
According to their plan, Akainu was expected to take the top position.
However, senior Marine admirals like Sengoku and Garp believed that Aokiji was better suited to become the new Fleet Admiral.
If they argued before, Five Elders could have easily dismissed it.
The strange thing is that during the Festival Island War, Akainu performed so poorly.
As a Marine Admiral, he was severely beaten by Whitebeard and couldn't even fight back or pose a threat to him.
And it was also broadcast live in major cities in the New World and some cities in the first half of the Grand Line.
An Admiral, crushed by a pirate, plus one missing arm, how can he become the new Fleet Admiral?
Therefore, Akainu has never gained the upper hand in marines favor or public opinion.
"Never let Aokiji become a Fleet Admiral. The world is on the brink of chaos, and we don't need a soft hearted Fleet Admiral!"
The bearded Five Elders strongly objected.
What they need is a Fleet Admiral with a firm and ruthless approach against the enemies, and can carry out their orders without hesitation
If the new Fleet Admiral has a character similar to Sengoku's, why would they want Sengoku to step down in the first place?
Is it possible that Aokiji's strategies and methods are superior to Sengoku, the Resourceful General?
"Then let them fight."
"The winner becomes Marine's new Fleet Admiral, and that should silence Sengoku and the others completely."
Five Elders with gray hair spoke solemnly.
"But..."
"Akainu has lost one arm. I'm afraid he won't be able to match Aokiji."
The bearded Five Elders frowned.
Previously, Akainu was considered the strongest Admiral, holding the top rank among the three Admirals.
But with his arm being severed by Whitebeard, his power has significantly diminished. If he were to face Aokiji at his peak, he wouldn't stand a chance.
"He will win!"
"No matter what, the ultimate victor must be Akainu!"
Five Elders with the black hat declared with determination.
The formation of the Marines power and the world's conscription are crucial decisions for the World Government.
They couldn't let things go wrong over a minor issue.
Therefore, no matter what, they would ensure Akainu's victory.

On a Small island in the First half of the Grand Line
Since a rumour that Whitebeard is in Dressrosa, and because marines lose so much control over the New World, the fight location between Aokiji and Akainu changed, it's not on Punk Hazzard anymore. And it's on a small island in Paradise
The dark clouds in the sky surged and split into two halves..
Half of the sky was covered in heavy snow, resembling goose feathers, while the other half blazed like flames, painting the sky in a fiery red hue.
Under the sky, two figures stood still, staring at each other.
"Showing kindness to pirates is just a joke!"
"Only by upholding absolute justice can we bring an end to the era of the great pirates!"
"The reason why the Summit War and the Festival Island War were lost, you and Borsalino must bear half the responsibility!"
Akainu growled.
In his opinion, Marine had an absolute advantage in those two wars.
If the three of them work together, even if Whitebeard claims to be the strongest man in the world, he cannot defeat the three of them and even Whitebeard will be the one who lost
But that's it,
Kizaru and Aokiji chose not to act seriously and merely followed orders without giving their best.
They dragged it too much so that the war failed.
So he was frustrated with the two of them.
"There is no absolute justice in the world. The so-called absolute justice will only lead to more tragedies upon the innocent!"
Aokiji calmly stated.
After experiencing the Ohara incident, he began to question the concept of absolute justice.
That's why he opposed Akainu becoming the Fleet Admiral.
Because once Akainu becomes the Fleet Admiral.
This world will definitely give birth to countless tragedies similar to Ohara .
As Marine Admiral, he actually said such naive words!
"If you insist on absolute justice and kill Whitebeard at Marineford, this era will not change!"
Akainu shouted as his arms burned with flames
Boom!
The flame erupted.
The magma containing immense power slammed fiercely into Aokiji.
The high temperature evaporated the cold air and melted the ice on the ground.
Aokiji was silent.
But at the moment the molten lava rushed near him, he also raised an arm.
Burstt~
The icy frost spread.
In just an instant, the ground under his feet was enveloped by ice, and then it spread like a tide.
Boom!
Ice and lava collided
Unleashing turbulent energy that raged all around.
A large amount of water vapor rose like smoke, covering most of the island.
After the exchange, both of them rushed forward swiftly.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A series of loud explosion roared.
The intense battle between the two Admirals caused the energy to surge, cracking the ground and shaking the entire island, bathing the entire island with ice and lava.
.
And outside the island
A warship docked not far away.
Looking at the misty island, the Marine officer on the warship felt uneasy.
"The two Admirals finally got into a battle."
Momousagi sighed.
"This is more than just a battle for the Fleet Admiral position; but also a clash of ideologies," Tokikake remarked, shaking his head.
"The second era of the great pirates has begun, yet our two Admirals are locked in battle here. Where will this era lead us?"
Momousagi expressed her concern and anticipation.
She couldn't shake the feeling that the two Admirals fighting for the top position might end up benefiting someone else.
And, who could that be?
