Zhutian: Countless me, join the chat group

Chapter 660 - Tilting!

"This choice seems to be somewhat difficult for him."

Sengoku looked at Akainu, even though he had already made up his mind, regardless of whether Akainu could make this choice.

Sengoku knew that he would do the same thing in the future, but seeing Akainu's troubled expression, he also knew that this choice might indeed be difficult for Akainu.

However, we still need to give Akainu some time.

Akainu's fate would have been similar to this choice he made.

"I will not join the pirates!"

Akainu's words also made Sengoku realize this.

If you look at it that way, then you've already made your own decision.

It seems they're not planning to cooperate anymore?!

The Warring States period thought about it and realized that cooperation was indeed out of the question.

Even if cooperation were to be considered, this wouldn't be the option Akainu would choose.

That's just Akainu's personality.

After all, it would be quite difficult to get him to cooperate with pirates.

Therefore, the Warring States period's stance on this matter is actually understandable.

"But I can go and kill those pirates in Impel Down, after all, I'm the one who captured many of them!"

Akainu said calmly, then added, "I will not cooperate with you; I just want to kill those pirates!"

This guy.
Bai Ye's lips twitched. Killing that pirate now, instead of cooperating with him?!

Hearing Akainu's words, Byakuya knew perfectly well what this guy was thinking.

However, to be fair, he said he wouldn't cooperate with me, but that was just a ploy to kill those pirates.

Actually, if we're talking about killing pirates...

Actually, I'm not much different from those pirates.

If Akainu can kill those pirates, then he can kill them too.

If it's just because Akainu is afraid of death, and he's already been beaten up by me before, so he knows the pain and that's why he won't attack, then...

In Bai Ye's view, that was simply impossible.

If that's the case, then I'm also a pirate, and Akainu wouldn't choose not to fight because of that.

Byakuya actually knew very well what Akainu's personality was like.

Therefore, given that Akainu's personality is known, this guy is not afraid of death at all.

That's what they say, but it's just to save face for themselves.

It was precisely because he wanted to save face that Akainu didn't intend to say it directly, but instead said it like this. However, everyone present knew that he had actually helped out.

"Tsk, you bastard."

Garp pursed his lips. After hearing Akainu's words earlier, he had thought that Akainu really wasn't planning to make a move.

But to Garp's surprise, it turned out that this guy didn't think that way at all!
You actually made a move?!

However, considering that Akainu had finally let go of his resentment, it was best not to speak at this time.

After all, if we were to open our mouths and say something else, there's a high probability that other problems would arise.

If Akainu were to stop saying anything at this point...

Wouldn't Sengoku have just killed him then?!
So, thinking of this, Garp stopped talking.

Don't be fooled by Garp's usual carefree and seemingly brainless demeanor; he really is a bit of a simpleton.

Therefore, he knew he shouldn't say anything about this.

Faced with this, Sengoku breathed a sigh of relief and exchanged a glance with Tsuru. They could see a hint of emotion in each other's eyes.

I initially thought that Akainu was unlikely to do that at this point.

After all, Akainu has his own pride, and he's held onto it for so many years. If you really asked Akainu to do that, would he really think that way?!

That's probably impossible too.

So, in this matter, if Sengoku knew in his heart, and everyone else knew in their hearts, then Akainu was still able to make this choice.

So this matter is truly rare and precious.

"It's done so quickly?!"

A look of shock flashed across Gion's face; she hadn't expected them to finish so quickly.

Previously, Gion had been thinking that it shouldn't be that quick to announce it.

The current situation is something I really didn't expect.

However, if it was resolved so quickly, then in this matter...

The speed at which this was proposed was so fast that even Gion was caught off guard.

Seeing Gion like this, Tsuru said with some emotion, "It looks like we'll have to fight side by side again!"

Tsuru also knew that Gion had previously made conditions to Byakuya.

As for what the conditions were, Tsuru was actually quite clear about them. She knew at the time that Gion had already made up her mind to do so.

Why?!

It's because Gion said back then that she wouldn't help Byakuya fight the Navy.

Why would you say that?!

Everyone knew perfectly well why Gion said that. It was mainly because Gion had switched sides with Byakuya. If she hadn't, Gion would never have made that condition.

Even though she switched sides to Byakuya, she was still a member of the Navy before.

It is precisely because of the World Government's outrageous actions that these things have happened.

So Gion, as a member of the Navy, chose to leave, but she didn't choose to confront them; she left completely.

And now, Gion and they can fight side by side again.

"Sister Crane, it's me..."

Gion opened her mouth, listening to Tsuru's words, although she didn't seem to blame herself.

But Gion was also very clear in her heart that even if she didn't blame herself, she had done such a thing back then.

They had already said they would go there to be spies.

However, after arriving there, they did not act as spies, and soon after, the other side received the news and chose to betray them.

Judging from this, everything I've done has indeed involved some rather questionable tactics.

She didn't verify it much, and after things turned out this way, she was too ashamed to talk to He about it.

They chose me because they believe I have a strong will. If that's the case, then I will definitely do it and won't betray them.

But what no one expected was that their betrayal would happen so quickly.

Even Gion herself was somewhat surprised that she had betrayed them. With her betrayal, the Navy's previous deployment had completely failed.

And most importantly, this is not just a deployment failure, but also a consequence of having to coordinate with others from within.

The information about the White Night's arrangements being shared with the Navy was ultimately lost.

This was tantamount to betrayal, and a complete betrayal at that, leaving Gion with no face to face Tsuru.

But what happened next was beyond my expectations; it was truly beyond my imagination.

After all, when they came to discuss this, they were actually giving themselves a chance.

This made Gion realize that perhaps a collaboration between them was truly possible!
But at that time, she only thought about it briefly. She originally thought that it would be very, very difficult to cooperate!
But in the end, to his surprise, the cooperation between the two parties was surprisingly easy!

Not
Isn't this a bit too fast?!

The two of them chatted briefly, and then asked Akainu for his opinion.

Now that Akainu has no objections, does that mean their cooperation is over?

Looking at it this way, this whole thing is quite unexpected.

However, He didn't say much in this situation, only saying with some emotion, "You just started a little earlier than us, it's nothing!"

The crane now knew what was going on.

Ultimately, what Gion really thinks, based on what has been discovered so far...

Isn't that already quite clear?!

Besides, if you really wanted to talk about this, it would have been in the past.

I might still have been able to say a few words then, but now I'm not qualified to say anything like that anymore.

Ultimately, the situation is completely different now than it was in the past.

Previously, everyone had different stances, but now they have joined forces with Bai Ye.

If you continue to discuss Gion at this point, then you are making a mistake.

Even in the past.
Actually, Tsuru wasn't planning to say anything, because in her opinion, Gion wasn't to blame for this.

Since Tsuru never intended to blame Gion, how could she possibly blame her in this matter?!
It's completely meaningless.

Besides, they've made the same choice as Gion.

What they used to do, I'm doing now.

This proves that Gion did not do anything wrong.

So, in this situation, why did Gion apologize to him?!
She actually knew why.
However, there is no need for it at all.

"Sister He, I'm really embarrassed to face you."

Gion gave a wry smile. Although Tsuru said that, she still felt a little embarrassed even now.

That's what she said, but I can't understand it that way.

After all, I was really embarrassed to face He.

If we really want to talk about this, is it possible that things are different now than they were before?

Even now, they are making the same choices as you.

However, the problem with my situation is that I approached Bai Ye with a mission in mind.

But what I didn't expect was that I would be conquered by Bai Ye's personal charm!

Looking at it this way, how could I possibly face the crane?!

I was really embarrassed.

After all, I was the one who betrayed them before, but now everyone has switched sides, so of course it's different.

Therefore, at this point, Gion herself was well aware that it was most likely Tsuru who was comforting her.

If He wasn't just trying to comfort himself, then saying these things would actually be somewhat problematic.

"Are you still thinking about these things?!"

After hearing Gion's words, Tsuru couldn't help but shake his head.

She is very smart, and of course she knows exactly what happened.

And judging from the other person's expression, does that mean they still have these conflicted thoughts?
If that's the case, then it seems there's really nothing more to say.

After all, if I were to say something, it would feel a bit off.

"You really don't need to think about this. Although this was somewhat unexpected before, I can understand why you're doing this now, since you looked into it beforehand!"

At this moment, Garp also spoke up.

In Garp's view, Gion's choice back then was perfectly normal.

This is as normal as it gets.

Gion had also gone to Wano Country before, and after seeing all of this, she decided to do this.

From this perspective, wasn't the reason for making that choice back then simply because they saw a better situation in Wano Country?
So if someone makes this choice, there's absolutely no problem with it.

Anyway, everyone can see it now!

Are you suggesting that Gion has a problem?!

"That's true. Don't feel pressured. After all, I didn't consider this point back then."

Furthermore, since such a thing has already happened over there, I think even if you acted ahead of time, it's because of you that the Navy ultimately sided with them.

in fact
If you really take on everything yourself, I don't think it makes any sense.

In short
Don't put so much pressure on yourself about this!

At this point, Sengoku also spoke up, although this matter was indeed a betrayal.

However, the Warring States period did not intend to pursue the matter further.

In the past, that would definitely have been a problem, but things are different now. Nowadays, everyone is in a similar situation.

So if you try to point out the other person's problems or find fault with them, it's completely pointless.

Anyway, let's just consider it as a scouting trip in advance. Now that we know about this, there's nothing more to say.

After listening to what Sengoku and the others said, Gion opened her mouth, intending to say something, but in the end she forced herself to hold back.

They all said that, even though they knew it was just to comfort themselves, so they said it on purpose.

But as I said before, since they've already said that, continuing to talk about it now would be somewhat disrespectful to them.

They've already given themselves so many excuses.

If you don't follow up on this topic and instead continue talking about it, then there's really something wrong with you!
