Pirate: I am Kozuki's nemesis and Nika's enemy!

Chapter 221: Gathering at Impel Prison, the Battle of Marineford Begins

Ten days later, a series of bombshell news shocked the entire Marinford.

"Have you heard? Marshal Sengoku suddenly disappeared after issuing the order to rebel against the World Government."

"How come I haven't heard that the SWORD forces are actively looking for Marshal Sengoku. General Gion is acting as the marshal and is actually openly raising the banner of resistance against the Celestial Dragons."

"If you ask me, the World Government must have secretly sent someone to assassinate the righteous Marshal Sengoku. Can we tolerate this? General Gion did the right thing!"

The two young sailors were whispering to each other, discussing the recent major events in the navy.

It happened that Admiral Sakaski, Akainu, who had just finished his mission, passed by. When he heard the words of the two navy men, he felt as if the sky had fallen.

"How could Marshal Sengoku give such an order? There must be some misunderstanding. No, I want to question General Gion in person!"

Akainu had a gloomy look on his face. He walked quickly in Marinford and came to the marshal's office to question Admiral Gion face to face.

"The navy has suffered for the Celestial Dragons for a long time. I can understand the decision made by Marshal Sengoku, but at the same time I am a little anxious about his disappearance."

Gion said this calmly, with no unusual emotions on her face.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"Marshal Zhan Guo couldn't have issued such an order. Someone must have done something while I was away."

"Where will our navy's expenses come from without relying on the World Government?"

"If we don't maintain the existing rule, where will justice in our navy come from?!"

Akainu became more and more excited as he spoke.

He has been defending the world government for most of his life and cannot accept such an outcome.

"You don't have to worry about the military expenditure. Jet defeated the three legendary pirates, beheaded the two sea emperors, and handed over all the huge wealth of these five pirates to the navy as military expenditure, which is enough to maintain the normal operation of the navy."

"As for justice... the justice that the Black Arm Admiral and I understand is to protect the people, not to protect the Celestial Dragons."

"So far, none of us is qualified to bear the name of justice!"

Following these firm words, Gion took off the cloak of justice from behind him, and his eyes became extremely determined.

As a naval family, Gion has always had its own principles and its few bottom lines were destroyed by Jello.

She trained her son Jet to, on the one hand, help Zero defeat the Celestial Dragons as soon as possible and end the troubled times; on the other hand, it was just as she said, to let the navy continue to play the role of "protecting the people" in the unified structure, and jointly maintain the stability and peace of the ocean with the regular army "Scourge Fleet".

"Humph, protecting the people, what a moral high ground argument! The operation of the navy actually depends on the financial support of Jet, a descendant of pirates. It's really sad and ridiculous!"

Akainu Sakaski had a gloomy face and did not hide his anger in his words.

"Is it pathetic and ridiculous that you only realize it now?"

"In the past ten years, the navy has hit rock bottom and has been completely helpless against the provocations of the sea emperor."

"According to the regular process, defeating the legendary Pirate King Naoki will make you the second hero of the navy, not to mention the famous Jet who killed five people in a row? Akainu, do you have money or impressive military achievements? How dare you look down on Jet?"

Gion's eyebrows were raised, and she said angrily to protect her child.

If she didn't also feel that it was unfair for her son, she would not have condoned Jet's act of placing Zhan Guo under house arrest.

"........."

When Akainu heard this, he was stunned for a moment.

It is said that we should judge by actions rather than intentions. From the current perspective, there is nothing wrong with Jet's actions.

They were the ones who fought the tough battles and provided the military funds. He also had a high prestige in the navy. What could you have to question him?

Akainu's eyes suddenly lit up. That's right, bloodline!

Although the ordinary navy did not know Jet's true identity, they still foolishly worshipped this descendant of a general.

However, the true identity of the son of General Gion was no secret among those above the rank of lieutenant general.

"You are a bunch of thieves. I would rather die on the battlefield than be in cahoots with you!"

Akainu Sakaski once again made his position clear.

"Humph, you would rather be ordered around by the Celestial Dragons than actually do anything for the people."

Gion used sharp words to tear open the old scars on Akainu.

"Who said I don't do things for the people? Eliminating evil pirates and maintaining peace on the sea is the best thing I can do for the people!"

Akainu Sakaski glared at Gion. This woman's words were really unpleasant to hear.

"You are kidding yourself. Ever since the Great Pirate Era, the pirate groups have swallowed up each other and the sea has never been stable."

"Let's not talk about the already exposed incident of the Celestial Dragons destroying a country in a game. We clearly knew that a tsunami that would destroy the world was about to happen, but we still actively cooperated with the Celestial Dragons to fool the public."

"Look at the reality clearly. The Navy has never had the strength to end the chaos, and has never truly served the people. Don't pretend to be a noble saint!"

Gion folded his arms and spoke in a tit-for-tat manner.

After hearing this, Akainu was stunned on the spot. Every word that Gion said was true.

The role of the navy is really to maintain the rule of the world government and protect those celestial dragons who like to massacre civilians.

But when it comes to matters of principle, Akainu is unwilling to give in.

The scene became quiet for a while, and Akainu and Gion stopped talking in vain.

Just at this moment, a Den Den Mushi call came from Impel Prison.

"Kuzan, Abel and others from the Scourge Fleet have openly invaded. The prisoners in the Grand Prison have begun to riot. Deputy Director Garp cannot suppress it alone. I beg for support from the Navy!"

The anxious voices of the Impel Down guards echoed in the Marshal's office, and Akainu Sakaski was slightly moved after hearing them.

"Which pirate from the prison is stranded at sea will bring great disaster and threat to the local people. I will not let this tragedy happen even if I risk my life."

"Gion, who says the navy doesn't work for the people?!"

Sakaski felt relieved and his guilt disappeared.

"Well...good luck to you."

Gion had nothing to say about this, it did have some use.

"Hmph, when I come back, I'm going to ask the World Government to let me serve as the Navy's Grand Admiral."

"Gion, your position as acting marshal has never been legally recognized. I will never let the navy be destroyed in your hands."

"By the way, tell that bastard Jeter to stay away from my Skylark!"

After saying that, Sakaski turned and walked away, the cloak of justice on his back fluttering in the wind due to his aura.

"Tsk, it's obviously Yun Que who is the one paying for it." Gion curled his lips and sat back in the chair.

"Blu blu blu............"

The World Government's dedicated Den Den Mushi rang, and Satan's angry questioning voice was heard from it.

"Gion, are you really going to lead the navy away from the World Government?"

"Of course, I've long been annoyed with you five old Bidens who are always bossing things around." Gion's lips curled up slightly, with a fearless tone in his words.

“Haha…very good!”

"Congratulations, you have successfully angered the true king of the sea."

"Let your entire family prepare for destruction. We will settle all old and new grudges together!"

Satan Saint had a ferocious expression and cold eyes, and a murderous intent was floating around him.

"It doesn't matter. Jeter and I will be waiting for you to die on the top of Marinford!"

"The Navy will never allow itself to be manipulated by you as it has done in the past!"
