135 Akainu and Fujitora meet again
The figures of Whitebeard and others slowly walked away.
Aokiji also walked with them, leaning on Marco for support due to his injuries.
Edward Weevil, who had been in daze, also woke up, and then hurriedly followed.
"Oyaji, wait for me."
Although his IQ is not high, he also knows that Whitebeard is the father he's been searching for.
Now that his father has shown up, , he doesn't care about Zephyr anymore
"Kuzan! Whitebeard!"
Zephyr shouted.
But Whitebeard and Aokiji didn't even look back
Seeing this, he finally understood that Aokiji was determined to join the Whitebeard Pirates.
On the island port.
Whitebeard and others have already boarded the ship.
Weevil, who followed, stood on the shore, feeling lost as he realized his mother was missing.
"No need to search, your mother is dead"
Marco couldn't help but say.
"Died?"
Weevil froze, then cried out like a child.
"Hey..."
"Is it really a good idea to tell him something like this directly?"
Vista couldn't help but ask.
"He will find out sooner or later"
Marco shrugged.
It's impossible to hide this kind of thing.
Rather than let Weevil find out in the future on his own, it's better to tell the other party now.
It could be problematic if Weevil seeks revenge against Oyaji for his mother's sake.
That's right!
Get rid of this uncertainty before the war begins, so they won't have problems during or after the war.
But what if the other person still recognizes Whitebeard as his father?
It's not impossible for Weevil to join the Whitebeard Pirates.
"Hey there!"
"Aren't you looking for Pops? Want to come aboard Pops' ship?"
Ace shouted.
"Huh?"
Weevil, who had been crying intensely like a child, suddenly stopped and stared at Ace.
"If you want, get on the ship right now!" Ace repeated.
Ace said again.
"Oh~"
Weevil, who had a low IQ, forgot about Ms. Bakkin's death and eagerly rushed toward Moby Dick with slow, clumsy steps.
"Guurarara~"
Whitebeard laughed, did not stop them, he let everyone board the ship, and then waved his hand: "Sons... set sail!"
"Oooh~"
The division commander and fleet captains cheered enthusiastically.
Over forty pirate ships broke through the huge waves of New World, heading towards the distant horizon.
.
….
.
The New World was in turmoil..
After the Marines witnessed the battle for the Fleet Admiral position, they finally selected a new Fleet Admiral.
And that was Sakazuki, well known as Akainu!
Akainu's first order after taking office was to initiate a World Conscription.
That's right!
He deeply believed that the Marines were too weak.
He's ready to implement worldwide conscription according to the World Government's demands to strengthen their forces.
This order was delivered at once, and it caused a sensation in the whole world in an instant.
Although Marine and World governments have suffered successive defeats.
Regardless of the recent defeats, they have been the world's dominant power for 800 years. As soon as the conscription order was issued, it quickly attracted a significant number of skilled individuals.
"Conscription?"
An middle-aged man with closed eyes and a purple coat stood up, wearing a smile.
After the Festival Island War, he wandered through the New World, he observed the changes that happened recently, and felt the injustice of this world.
Now, the major conscription begins.
So, he decided to join the Marines and work towards changing the injustices in the world.
"Hope the Marines won't disappoint me!"
Issho said and walked away.
.
Marine G2 branch.
Since the headquarters is still under construction, high-ranking Marine officials are staying at a branch not far from the new headquarters.
"How's the conscription order going?"
Akainu sat in his Fleet Admiral chair with a cigar in his mouth, and speak in a serious tone.
"It's been initiated, and the response is excellent. We've gathered many experts in just a few days"
Vice Admiral Onigumo quickly said.
"Is that so? Then take me there for a look!"
Akainu stood up.
The conscription is an important part of his plan.
He won't be at ease unless he personally confirms it.
"What?"
Vice Admiral Onigumo and Vice Admiral Momonga were taken aback for a moment, then nodded quickly.
He turned around, motioned for Akainu to follow, and walked outside. After about ten minutes, they arrived at the conscription point.
At this moment, a large crowd had gathered at the conscription point.
The examiners were carefully reviewing every individual who wanted to join the Marines.
"Good!"
Akainu expressed his satisfaction.
While most individuals may not be exceptionally strong, the advantage lies in their sheer numbers.
With a large pool to choose from, there are always some promising recruits to be discovered.
"Among such a large crowd, there are always a few masters. It's a sign of how much the Marine's strength will grow after we're done sifting through the recruits"
the Vice Admiral Momonga added.
"Hmm"
Akainu replied and continued to observe the scene below.
Looking around, he spotted a familiar figure.
The figure wore a purple robe, holding a katana, and had his eyes tightly closed.
Upon seeing this man, Akainu's eyes widened, a hint of disbelief apperad on his face.
That's correct.
This person is Issho, future Admiral Fujitora in the original story. But now, it's unlikely he become Admiral or even a marines officer
Issho also had a brief clash against Akainu.
During the Festival Island War, he met Akainu when he evacuated from the island.
Because he wanted to leave quickly, he showed no mercy and forcefully pushed Akainu into a pit.
Since then, Akainu has classified Issho as a pirate.
"Very good!"
"Evil pirates have the audacity to come for conscription. Do they really think just anyone can become a Marine!"
Akainu seethed with anger.
He was on the brink of laughing in anger.
If Issho were just a pirate, he wouldn't be this angry.
But as a pirate, without realizing that he should keep a low profile, he boldly tried to join the Marines.
Is this not a clear humiliation of the Marines?
His anger was so intense that he couldn't contain it any longer.
"That person is a pirate who took part in the Festival Island war and even helped the Whitebeard Pirates fight against the Marines!"
"Now, issue order to arrest this person!"
Akainu growled.
"What?!"
Vice Admiral Onigumo eyes widened, a moment of disbelief crossing his face.
Then he looked down at Issho. He hadn't expected this pirate to be so audacious, daring to show up here after participating in the Festival Island war.
"Could he be an undercover agent sent by the Whitebeard Pirates?"
With this thought, he couldn't stay put any longer and rushed off immediately.
At that moment, Issho was still in line, waiting for the conscription assessment. He had no idea that Akainu had spotted him and labeled him as a potential Whitebeard undercover agent.
"The justice of the World Government and the Marines isn't true justice"
"If I can join the Marines, the first thing I'll do is abolish the Seven Warlords of the Sea system!"
Issho thought about his plan
As his thoughts appeared, he even thought on how to achieve his ambitions once he became a Marine and make the world a fairer place!
