I, a Celestial Dragon!

Having said that, Sakaski put his hands on his desk, looked down at Kizaru, and continued.

"In short, in my opinion, only by starting the war now and taking the initiative can we control the direction and situation of the war to the greatest extent.

Of course we can wait, but the longer we wait, the more we will invest in that war!

It is indeed feasible to exchange time for space, but time brings not only space, but also losses.

Do you think I really don’t care about the lives of soldiers?

Death is indeed our duty. We are soldiers, and dying heroically in battle is the honor and destiny of every soldier like us!

But if it were possible, wouldn't I want more combat-ready elites to remain in the navy to comb the sea and completely eliminate the Four Emperors!

So, don't stop me, Borsalino!

If you can't convince His Highness, you might as well be convinced by His Highness.

Then let Your Highness see the burning passion in my heart!!!"

boom! ! !

Akainu slammed the table hard, and his desk shattered instantly.

Wood chips flew in the strong wind, causing the calligraphy above Akainu's head to shake continuously.

In that terrible strong wind, absolute justice underwent yet another difficult test.

But as always, it was absolute justice.

It is because he has absolute reasons to carry it out, and it also means that it will never be trampled upon or forgotten!

For a moment, thick magma even flowed out of Akainu's coat, and the temperature in the room instantly rose by more than one degree.

Faced with Akainu's behavior, Kizaru thought for a moment, then narrowed his eyes obscenely.

"Wow, you really look full of energy.

But I must tell you that no matter how motivated you are, Lord Gawain will not agree with your plan.

Don't get even more excited, and don't have any thoughts of being disappointed in him, Sakaski.

Because when I heard you say that you would completely wipe out the Four Emperors of Pirates and then comb the rest of the ocean, your ambition had already been defeated by Gawain's ambition!"

At this point, Kizaru threw the simple map aside.

Pointing at Kaido and Linlin marked on the map, Kizaru shook his finger gently.

"What you want is to tear apart the balance between the navy and the pirates, cleanse and train the navy while grasping victory.

At the same time, you think that what Gawain wants is to use his merits to climb to the position of the Five Elders, allowing him to transform from Saint Gawain to Saint Gawain!

But in fact, Lord Gawain told me...

He said he didn't care what the word St. Gowan meant.

He also said that what our navy should not want is to prove anything.

What we should strive for is the day when the world no longer needs a navy.

I think what he said makes sense.

What do you think? "

Chapter 428 Drinking with Sword

"I think?"

In response to Kizaru's question, Akainu immediately spoke in a cold voice.

"Of course I think it makes sense, because the reason why I joined the gambling game early and selected the numbers to add weight is because His Highness is always so reasonable!

But now, I must tell you that, unlike other people who place bets, I want more than just possibility, let alone simple reason and probability!"

Having said this, Akainu frowned and remained silent for a long time.

Fortunately, after a long time, he finally sat down again.

The table in front of him was broken and drooped in front of him in a mess, but he didn't care.

He just thought and said to Kizaru.

"You must understand, Borsalino, that at this moment, I am eager to see your Highness in action!

Admittedly, I seemed too hasty. After all, His Highness had been in the sea for only a little over a year.

However, no matter His Highness's strength or influence, everything he controls has made him more than just a pawn like us.

Even though he is immature, he already has the qualifications of a chess player, so I want to see him make his move!!!

What’s more, what I want to see is not his economic actions!

Indeed, His Highness has left behind a few children. The activeness of the Vinsmoke family and the large-scale cultivation of Den Den Mushi mean that His Highness has a huge demand for communication.

To me, this is a good signal. The communication needs should be met first and correspond to military operations.

But beyond that, I feel uneasy about your Highness's business moves.

The huge amount of metal purchases may indeed lead to war, but combined with the massive expansion of the Sea Train, the metal trade driven by His Highness may not even be able to meet the huge consumption of the Sea Train project!

So, Borsalino, you should understand what I want, and Your Highness obviously understands what I want especially.

I see, on your Highness' chessboard, slow economic and political actions being implemented.

But I don't need that, I don't need slow stuff!

I want to see your Highness take swift and decisive military action!!!

The reason why I make requests to Your Highness again and again is that I really don't understand Your Highness's thoughts.

After he took over Joker's arms trade, instead of expanding it, he invested more arms in patrolling and security of the many islands in the Grand Line!

The Pirate Emperor of the New World will never extend his hand into the Grand Line, so the primary imaginary enemy that His Highness pursues is not pirates!

Well, if I hadn't reminded Your Highness again and again of the navy's demands.

Even if you and I bet on the right thing, the navy will not be able to enjoy the biggest benefit of the new era!

If I just go with the flow, then why should I make a choice? As a sailor, I will always pursue the goal of bringing the navy's honor to the pinnacle!

In short, I need a war. Even if this war cannot be as comprehensive as I want, I must have certain results worth promoting to inspire the navy soldiers and make stricter demands on them!!!"

After he finished speaking, Akainu leaned back in his chair and let out a tired breath.

He shouldn't look tired. He is the purest warrior who always charges at the forefront.

But he is not just a soldier, he is a general and he also aspires to be the marshal.

As a soldier, if you want to become a marshal, you have to participate more.

That was the source of his exhaustion!

On the side, looking at the tired Akainu, Kizaru smiled obscenely and then shook his head.

"I know, haha, of course I know what you are thinking.

You are much purer than that kid Kuzan. Although I don’t like your cruelty sometimes, I have to admit it.

Under your leadership, the Navy may suffer greater losses in various operations, but what you can gain for our Navy will always be more abundant than Kuzan.

But even so, it doesn't mean that I support you.

Don't forget, I also support His Highness Gawain, so you better pay attention, Sakaski.

Although I don't have any intention of taking on more work, if I understand him better than you, I am more suitable to cooperate with him than you.

Then we two are different chess pieces, so it is not certain who will become the knight under the king's key!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Kizaru chuckled, and his smile made Akainu's veins bulge.

Frowning unhappily, Akainu blew a breath of hot air through his nose, then nodded.

“I am not afraid of competition, and I am equally able to accept failure.

And I will never give up or even adjust my ideas and plans just to gain a competitive advantage!

In the Seven Water City, His Highness's ship is almost repaired, and it won't be long before His Highness sets sail for the new world.

Even if I listen to what you said, I can understand his thoughts.

However, before Your Highness sets off at the latest, I must go to Your Highness in person and have a thorough discussion with Your Highness about my plan.

He'll convince me, as he always does.

But I always make rash requests to Your Highness, which annoys You while reminding You not to forget the existence of the navy.

If he is truly a saint worthy of my loyalty until death, then even if he cannot satisfy me, at least he will not become bored or alienated from me, or even disappoint me.

This is how I am, and at this age, I wouldn’t change who I am!

Have a dream, make a decision, and when determination fills my chest, I will be unyielding at this moment!

That’s all!!!”

At this point, Akainu waved his hand heavily, indicating that Kizaru didn't need to persuade him anymore.

In any case, he must strengthen the war preparedness of his direct subordinates.

Even if the war really does not break out, he will use his own ideas to restrain and remind his subordinates.

Always be prepared, always seek war.

This is the path of a soldier!

……

……

……

At the same time, on Kraigana Island, in a silver-white castle towering into the clouds.

Mihawk held the wine glass and looked towards the forest in the distance in silence.

Right inside that forest, a group of baboons whom he called human imitators were practicing and imitating Hawkeye's swordsmanship with a far more diligent attitude than most humans!

As the world's greatest swordsman, Hawkeye certainly has his own unique swordsmanship experience, but few people are qualified to become his disciple.

In other words, he never wanted to train any disciples. It was not because he was too proud of himself, but because he did not want an excellent swordsmanship talent to be completely influenced by his swordsmanship experience and become someone he could not bear to kill... one of his own!

On the contrary, during the years he traveled the sea, whenever he met a remarkable swordsmanship talent, he would always give corresponding guidance.

Of course, that is not real guidance. A teacher who is good at teaching will not let those being guided bear the teacher’s shadow.

Hawkeye's guidance is to let them see the pinnacle of swordsmanship, and then save their lives!

Give them the opportunity to continue climbing, and then expect them to walk towards you, and finally break their own black knives, or die under their own knives!

He longs to fail...

But he only wanted to be defeated by swordplay.

Even if I die then.

Take a look at the higher peaks of swordsmanship...

enough!

As for the group of baboons in his home, Hawkeye did not train them specifically. Those baboons were born to imitate humans.

Asking them to imitate him doesn't mean that Hawkeye really thinks these baboons are qualified to become the opponents he desires in the future.

The purpose of those baboons is just to allow Hawkeye to recall his past self when watching and experiencing their swordsmanship, so as to continuously improve his swordsmanship state of mind.

The baboons are good at imitating themselves, just like themselves when they first started practicing swordsmanship.

The mistakes they made, or the flashes of inspiration they had.

Those things always help Hawkeye understand himself and his swordsmanship a little better!

However, just as Hawkeye was watching the baboon's martial arts performance attentively, a blue light suddenly streaked across the distant sky and fell towards Hawkeye like a meteor.

Looking at the blue light, Hawkeye couldn't help but frowning!

As expected, Hawkeye certainly knows Gawain's identity. Hawkeye likes to be alone, but he is not blind. He reads newspapers and watches Den Den Mushi live broadcasts!
