The Dark Throne of Pirates

"Boom boom boom!"

As soon as he entered the door, Wayne saw that the Warring States man at the top had gone through a lot of vicissitudes. He hadn't seen him for only ten months and his hair was already gray.

There are also a few more wrinkles at the corners of his eyes. As for Akainu on the side, he still has the same stinking face that has remained unchanged for thousands of years.

Aoki sat on the sofa opposite Akainu in the office, while Wayne sat directly next to Sengoku.

Akainu and Aokiji sat opposite each other. Although they did not look at each other or speak, the air was filled with coldness and heat.

There was an inexplicable tit-for-tat tension between the two.

"Cough, cough, cough!" Warring States coughed twice, interrupting the silence at this moment, "We are all our own people here, and everyone knows the situation well, so I won't beat around the bush and just tell the truth."

Warring States looked sideways at the young man standing aside and said solemnly: "Wein, the new generation of soldiers is basically led by you. Who do you think is more qualified to take over the position of marshal?"

As soon as these words came out, Akainu also focused on Wayne, although in the previous conversation with Sengoku, he revealed his confidence that Wayne would not support Aokiji.

But after saying this, he still sat in the marshal's office and waited after learning that the two of them were returning together. It seemed that he was not so blindly confident. He was still worried about Wayne's choice.

"I remain neutral and will not support either side." Wayne sat aside and tapped his fingers rhythmically on the desk, saying softly: "Besides... Qing Pheasant also thought of a way to solve the problem."

"That's right! I think we have a simpler and more direct way to decide who will be the next marshal."

Feeling the looks from Sengoku and Akainu, Aokiji stood up and said seriously: "As the most powerful force on the sea, it is more convincing to use strength to determine the position..."

"Yes, this is a good idea." Akainu was stunned when he heard this. Before Sengoku could express his position, he also stood up and said in a deep voice: "Then let us let our strength speak for itself."

Sengoku originally wanted to stop Aokiji's idea. As the elder and commander of Aokiji and Akainu, he had a certain understanding of their strength and beliefs for so many years.

The two people's combat power is at the same level. This is not a simple competition, and no one will stop in time.

This is about who will serve as marshal next and lead the navy on a path different from the current one. It is also an extreme collision of different concepts.

In this battle, if someone wants to decide the winner, someone will be seriously injured or even killed. Seng Guo didn't want to agree, but seeing that both parties involved had made up their minds, he couldn't say more.

"Then let it be like this" Warring States sighed softly: "When you two have completed all your tasks and the sea has calmed down for a while, we will decide who will be the marshal."

Seeing that Sengoku had agreed to the duel, Aokiji and Akainu looked at each other for a moment and walked out of the office one after another.

Next, you no longer need to get support from anyone, you just need to use your absolute strength to make everyone convinced of the next marshal candidate.

Although the two knew how powerful their opponents were, they still had full confidence in their own strength and beliefs.

At this time, only Sengoku and Wayne were left in the room.

"Next, what's my mission or arrangement?" Wayne was the first to break the silence.

"Stay at the headquarters." Warring States pondered for a moment and said solemnly: "You have no mission next, just stay at the headquarters and wait for orders."

"Huh?" Wayne frowned slightly, "Now you and Garp are guarding the headquarters, do you still need me to stay? The situation in the new world is not optimistic. Don't you need me to support you?"

"No need. The New World naturally has its corresponding branch to deal with those pirates. You can just stay in the headquarters and be on standby."

Wayne frowned even more when he heard this, lowered his head, tapped his fingers on the desk, and thought for a moment.

Wayne thought of a possibility and his voice became colder, "What order was given by the World Government? Maybe the Marshal doesn't want me to go to the New World... Even if the situation in the New World Navy branch is so serious."

Facing Sengoku's somewhat surprised look, Wayne continued: "Is it about Whitebeard II? The recruitment of the Shichibukai?"

Seeing Sengoku remain silent, Wayne confirmed his suspicions and chuckled in a low voice, "The World Government really has a good plan."

Crocodile's removal, Moonlight Moria's disappearance, Kaisha Jinbe's withdrawal, and Blackbeard Tiki's betrayal.

The so-called Shichibukai System has become a joke among everyone.

As for Whitebeard II, he is hunting the remnants of Whitebeard in the New World.

Wayne can obtain information from Dover and Shaqi, how could the Navy and the World Government not know about it?

During this period, pirates who have done great things and have certain strength must have been noticed early by the World Government.

But those superior idiots only care about strength, balance, interests, etc.

As for the harm Whitebeard II once did to the navy?The World Government says these are minor issues.

Thinking of this, Wayne was a little disappointed and said in a deep voice:

"I have no intention of blaming the Marshal, and I also know that this is an order from the World Government, and you can't resist it."

"But! As your best friend, Mr. Zefa, who joined the navy with you and devoted most of his life to the justice in his heart..."

"Do you know what kind of situation this order will put the teacher in after it is passed on?"

"How will this old man, who has devoted his life's blood! Even though his family has been murdered by pirates, still cultivate countless talents for the navy, deal with himself?"

Looking at Warring States who looked a little struggling, Wayne's voice softened a little:

"I know, maybe you have resisted, or refuted this order with the Five Old Stars on the Holy Land."

"As a marshal, and I as a subordinate, for the sake of the overall situation, you don't let me go to the New World because you are afraid that after the order is issued, I will do something stupid and disobey the government's order. I can understand it."

"But as a close friend of the teacher! I feel sad and disappointed for the teacher."

"If it were me, maybe I would organize a certain amount of combat power to kill that bastard before the World Government reacts!"

"Their superior idiots won't care too much about you because of a dead person. At most, they will only be superficial punishments."

Wayne looked at the gray-haired Sengoku, sighed softly, got up and walked out the door without saying anything.

After returning to his senses, Warring States looked at Wayne who was about to walk out the door and couldn't help but call out: "Wayne!"

Wayne paused, understanding what Warring States meant, and said in a deep voice without turning his head:

"Don't worry, I will obey your orders and stay at the headquarters and not go anywhere."

"Bang!" The door was slammed shut, leaving Zeng Guo alone in the room, his expression constantly changing.

He also did not explain or explain to Wayne what drastic changes would happen to the navy if he disobeyed the government's orders.

Silently he took out a top-secret document from under the drawer, which contained the order to invite Whitebeard II to the Shichibukai.
