I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

The Mighty Strike is the strongest move of the Elbaf warriors, a desperate strike that puts a heavy strain on the body.

After that attack, some of the warriors' greatswords had already begun to crack, almost unable to withstand the force.

But soon, their attention turned elsewhere.

And then the aftershocks of the shockwave swept in.

"A massive fireball!"

A giant lava fist, as large as a small mountain, shot into the sky. This lava fist, which had brought destruction and devastation in the past, collided violently with the shockwave in mid-air and shattered.

Amidst the deafening roar, the sailors were all stunned, turning their heads to look at the back of the newly appointed admiral.

Did Akainu intervene at this moment to protect the Marines from the shockwave... or was he helping the bandits and pirates block the shockwave?

Could it be that Akainu has also betrayed us?

"Sakazuki? What are you doing?" The Five Elders, wielding swords, was enraged for the first time, staring intently at Akainu.

The Heavenly King's attack had no effect; even the aftershocks of the explosion did not kill many people. At most, it only depleted the Haki of Roger and the others, which was far worse than they had expected.

But now that Akainu has emerged from the battle, it's another huge variable.

Garp is one thing.

Although he was in the navy, he was always unreliable, and it wouldn't be surprising if he did something.

But what about the current Fleet Admiral Akainu, who has always maintained a stable demeanor?

He's a naval admiral!

"What am I doing?" Akainu coldly stared at the Five Elders.

"What should we say your world government has done?"

"Is our navy being sacrificed again this time?"

Akainu turned around, his face cold, and the lava on his fist was still dripping onto the soil, hissing as it rose.

At this moment, even Sieg was surprised and whispered to Long, "Long, is this the inside man you mentioned before?"

"The Fleet Admiral is an inside man for our Revolutionary Army... That's giving our Revolutionary Army far too much credit." Long shook his head and said.

"Twelve years ago, Admiral Akainu participated in the Buster Call incident targeting you in Water 12 and mysteriously disappeared for several months after the great tsunami."

“During those months, our revolutionary army had some contact with him, but that was all.”

“We don’t know his actual attitude, nor do we have enough influence to make the admiral of the navy defect on the spot... This is clearly his own decision,” Long explained.

The two exchanged ideas quickly in their minds, and only a short moment passed.

"Five Elders, are you trying to say that I'm also a fake, a fake person created by Sig?"

Akainu chuckled and, in full view of everyone, reached down and removed the Justice Cloak from his back, as well as the fiery red shirt on his body, revealing his muscular upper body.

The moment the Marines saw Akainu's body, countless eyes widened in shock.

On Akainu's chest were large, hideous old burn scars, and there were several crisscrossing scars on his lower abdomen, obscuring the small words that were originally engraved on them... Akainu is a Magma-Magma Fruit user, how could he possibly be burned by high temperatures?

The most likely scenario is that he was burned when he came into contact with Seastone and his body was unable to become elemental, or that he deliberately did not become elemental.

Kizaru, with his leisurely personality, ate the Glint-Glint Fruit, the fastest fruit in the world. His sense of justice is ambiguous; he is easygoing and never confronts powerful enemies head-on.

Aokiji once believed in "Burning Justice," and later in "Lazy Justice," but what he ate was the Ice Fruit, which could freeze the sea.

Of the three admirals of the older generation, only Akainu's temperament is in harmony with the Magma-Magma Fruit.

The justice he upheld was "complete justice," and he himself was as fiery and intense as a volcano.

Volcanoes are not always violent. Before they erupt, they can quietly accumulate power, waiting for the day they will erupt.

Akainu pressed his hand to the hideous old burn scar on his chest, staring at the Five Elders with eyes that seemed to spit out a raging fire.

"Now that things have come to this, who exactly is obstructing the execution of justice?"

Akainu clutched his chest, looking towards the Holy Land of Mary Geoise, then at the Five Elders before him, lava flowing over his body.

"As long as there are Celestial Dragons who treat the people as pigs, dogs, and slaves, and who are high and mighty, there will never be true justice!"

"Celestial Dragons, World Government. Your very existence is a trampling of justice!"

With each word he spoke, the dark red light emanating from Akainu grew stronger, and more and more lava flowed out. Rolling waves of heat swept from his body as he stepped forward, leaving a trail of lava footprints on the ground.

He clenched his fist and walked step by step toward the Five Elders.

The countless marines in front of Akainu lowered their heads and instinctively moved aside, like water parting a stone, making way for him.

"Ah, you've really made a splash..." Aokiji yawned and silently followed behind Akainu.

"Not just Marshal Sakazuki, but also General Kuzan?"

"It's not just Admiral Kuzan... Don't forget, Admiral Borsalino has long been an inside man for the Revolutionary Army. I heard his real name is Monkey, and he's Vice Admiral Garp's nephew..."

Kizaru: ?

He was standing quietly in the crowd with his hands in his pockets, observing silently, when suddenly he was called out, and he was a little taken aback.

“You—” The Five Elders’ eyes flashed with anger, their tone chilling.

"I never imagined the navy would be so rotten to the core; all three of the previous generation's admirals had been infiltrated by the enemy..."

"We were too lenient with the navy. We should have wiped you all out before the Marineford War!"

"Infiltration?" Akainu scoffed.

Although he couldn't hear what the others were thinking, he could tell their unease just from the conflicted expressions on their faces.

Zephyr, Fujitora, Akainu, Aokiji, Kizaru, Garp, and even Higuma... these are all traitors? They've all betrayed the Navy?

Of course, there's some exaggeration involved.

The story about Kizaru was fabricated by Higuma. The Garp currently on the battlefield is a fake created by Higuma using a transformation leaf, and Higuma was originally a clone of Higuma...

But these naval personnel didn't know that.

Seeing that almost all of their respected admirals and marshals had completely sided with Sieg and were now their enemies, the navy was in a real dilemma.

Akainu glanced indifferently at the Five Elders, then at the group of Marines with complex expressions, and raised his arm to shout:

"Navy, will you fight to uphold justice, or to maintain the rule of the World Government?"

The voice was deafening, resounding in the hearts of the sailors and causing them to waver slightly.

"What I want to be is... a righteous navy officer!"

"If it's an army under the World Government, what's the difference between it and soldiers serving the kings of member states?"

One officer, imitating Akainu, forcefully ripped off his Justice Cloak and casually tossed it onto the ground.

The Justice Cloak was once a symbol of pride for the Navy.

But now... when they decide to fight for justice, they no longer need this cloak of justice they wear.

In a short time.

The navy was bustling with people, and some officers were already shouting that they were acting on behalf of heaven and fighting for justice. They took off their justice cloaks and followed closely behind Akainu.

Some of them were spies planted by the revolutionary army beforehand, taking advantage of the situation to cause trouble.

Some of Akainu, Aokiji's, and other loyal officers were already prepared and waiting for this moment to defect.

Both Akainu and Aokiji are middle-aged men around fifty years old, not young men full of passion.

Since they dared to betray their country on the battlefield, it was not a momentary impulse, but rather a premeditated plan.

At this moment, about half of the Marines mutinied on the spot and sided with Akainu.

"You—" The Five Elders were also furious.

The Marines who arrived at the Holy Land through the CP0 portal actually became the enemy's forces.

"Fighting for justice? Betraying the World Government for such a childish reason?" The Five Elders with swords had a somewhat distorted expression.

"Is it childish? That's exactly right, it's childish."

At that moment, a deep, calm voice came from afar, piercing through the night.

Sieg stood with one foot on the coffin, gazing at the Five Elders in the distance.

He quietly equipped himself with a possession card that had been gathering dust for a long time, and cleared his throat.

Possession Card: Liu Bei

Source: Romance of the Three Kingdoms

Quality: S-grade

Limit: 3 times, 1 hours each time (1 times remaining)

Abilities: Breakup Master -------- (omitted)

Big Shot Killer ------------- (omitted)

The benevolent are invincible. When you perform acts of kindness or give speeches, you increase your charisma and may even win over your enemies.

Liu Bei had used the card twice before, but he hadn't used it for the last time until now, when he decided to test the power of his words.

"justice."

"free."

"liberation."

"To those of you who are far removed from the chaos of war, these are all unfamiliar, pretentious, and childish words."

"Five Elders, you are too high and mighty, too far removed from the masses, and you have no idea the weight of these words."

Sig's gaze fell on Akainu, focusing on the gruesome wounds on Akainu's left chest and lower abdomen.

After mastering telekinesis, his memory was also greatly enhanced. He immediately recalled a slave he had saved from the Celestial Dragons on a certain night in the Sabaody Archipelago 12 years ago.

Both his physique and the location and shape of his wounds were extremely similar to those of Akainu in front of him.

Only those who have been collared know the weight of freedom.

Only those who have been brutally beaten by society know what exploitation and oppression truly mean.

Having witnessed injustice and evil, one understands how difficult it is to uphold justice.
