Facing the gentle sea breeze, a magnificent naval warship gradually sailed into the navy's harbor.

A ship ladder was skillfully lowered by the soldiers on the warship, and Marshal "Akainu" Sakasky walked to the ground step by step with heavy steps.

"Salute!"

The soldiers of the harbor raised their right hands in unison, giving the highest respect to their marshal.

Akainu simply replied with a military salute, he didn't speak, and slowly walked towards the depths of the headquarters.

"Marshal, he doesn't seem to be happy today, huh?"

"I guess I'm still sad about the matter of the Daytiger General......

"Alas, the Daytiger General is so powerful, how could such a thing happen to him......"

The soldiers whispered and arranged for the Akainu warship to enter the dock.

"Sakasky, you ......"

Coming was the former marshal of the Navy, the Warring States of the "Buddha".

"Are you alright?"

Sengoku looked worried. Although the candidate for marshal in his mind should be Kuzan, since Sakasky has become a marshal, he will naturally cooperate with Akainu's work, instead of relying on the old and selling the old and embarrassing Akainu.

"Mr. Sengoku ......"

Akainu didn't say much, he just responded simply, but listening to his voice, Sengoku could clearly feel the melancholy in Akainu's heart.

"I heard you went to Mary Joy?"

"yes."

Akainu glanced up at the two eye-catching big characters "Navy" on the most magnificent building of the Navy Headquarters, and then looked at Sengoku: "Mr. Sengoku, let's talk while we go." ”

"Okay."

Sengoku nodded, waved his hand and sent away the other navies, walking beside Akainu and walking side by side with him.

“……”

For a long time, the Warring States didn't hear Akainu speak, didn't they say that they wanted to talk while walking? Why don't you talk again?

After a moment of entanglement in his heart, judging by Akainu's look, tone, and reaction, Sengoku roughly guessed something, and he took the initiative to break the silence and said, "You went to find the five old stars, right?" ”

"yes."

"Are you...... I also saw ...... That person? ”

“…… Oh, yes. ”

Akainu's footsteps stopped, and he turned to look at Sengoku: "You've seen him too, haven't you?" ”

Sengoku just nodded and didn't speak.

Akainu asked softly again, "Since when?" ”

Sengoku always felt that something was not quite right, and Sakasky on weekdays had never spoken to others so calmly as he did today, and his voice itself gave people a sense of strength.

Maybe it's because Sakasky was hit by that guy named Im?

Sighing in his heart, Sengoku replied, "I have already seen him when I was still an admiral. ”

"Is it that early?"

"After all, there was only one admiral in the navy at that time, and it was already a sure thing for me to be a marshal."

"That's right."

The two walked forward, and under the leadership of the red dog, they gradually came to a park.

Next to the bench, Akainu gave way to Sengoku: "Mr. Sengoku, please be seated." ”

"Okay."

The two sat on the bench, Sengoku looked at the red dog, and the red dog looked up at the sky, where the white clouds were fluttering, and the blue sky was as blue as a wash, and it was beautiful.

"What a beautiful world......

Sengoku didn't know what to say for a while, but fortunately before he could speak, Akainu changed the topic and said, "Old marshal, do you know why I hate pirates so much? ”

"I don't really know much about you."

"When you interrogated the ghost spider, do you remember the story that Hailan's stinky boy told Bucky?"

"Of course."

It was a rare incident within the navy in which a general-level officer was openly interrogated, and how could Sengoku forget it.

Akainu sighed, "Actually...... I've had a ...... with Bucky No, a similar experience to the soldier represented by Bucky. ”

Sengoku didn't speak, Akainu had a tragic experience, and he had long speculated that a person shouldn't be so extreme if he didn't have an unforgettable experience.

"When I was eight years old, a passing pirate group plundered our village, burned and looted, and my father died by the pirates' sword for resisting, and in the end, only my mother protected me to the death.

The pirates who had been given money and supplies should have left by boat, but before they left, they killed my mother and the villagers who were on their knees begging for mercy, who were no longer a threat to them.

Old marshal, do you know why they did this? ”

Sengoku didn't talk much, and at this time, he knew that he should be a listener.

Akainu smiled, a rare smile on this serious face, "At that time, I asked them loudly, why did they kill people after taking money? They say they like the feeling of the steel knife sinking into the flesh, and that the feeling of the hand makes them feel excited. From then on, I knew that there was no need for a reason for this group of beasts to kill.

My mother, who was lying in a pool of blood, used her last strength to call me to escape, but that time, I didn't listen to her.

At that time, I was only eight years old, and I received so many stimuli in a short period of time, I was crazy at that time, I should be crazy, I didn't even run away, but picked up a knife on the ground and rushed towards the pirates, I didn't think about whether I could win, and I didn't think about whether I would die, at that time, I only had one thought left in my mind, that is, to kill this group of beasts.

I still can't believe that at the age of eight, I burst out with incredible power in a desperate situation, when I used a knife to cut the belly of the pirate, and saw the other party flowing out of the bloody intestines, the smell of blood stimulated my brain, I realized that it was so simple to stop the pirates from doing evil.

It's just a pity that the remaining villagers resisted with me at that time, and in the end they couldn't defeat the pirates, but fortunately, when the pirates sailed away, and there was only a sea of corpses and blood left on the island, I actually got up again on a rainy night.

They would never have imagined, to be precise, that even I couldn't believe that my vitality was so tenacious.

From that day on, I made a decision to kill all the evils in the world with this iron body that God had given me! ”

After the story was told, the two men sitting on the bench stopped talking.

Sengoku couldn't help but sigh, it turned out that Sakasky had already shown extraordinary talent at a very young age, no wonder he was able to defeat Kuzan and become today's admiral.

"Huh...... I know that there are some people who are indeed just adventurers with the flag of pirates, but their activity will exacerbate the rampant arrogance of the pirate group, fuel the arrogance of the pirates, and promote the birth of more pirates on the sea.

In order to reduce the number of pirates, I can only choose to be ruthless to their subordinates, and they, since they have hung this pirate flag, should understand the cruelty of this sea, there are no pirates here, here, only the consciousness of risking their own lives. ”

After listening to Akainu's words, Sengoku felt a lot and had a better understanding of Sakasky as a person, especially why he treated pirates so ruthlessly, and could even be described as "cruel".

It's just that he won't change his attitude towards justice because of Akainu's experience, Sengoku was just about to say something, but he saw Akainu wave his hand, "What's wrong with me today, I actually said so many things in one breath." ”

"With that guy Imu lying there, anyone will inevitably feel hopeless."

"He's very strong."

"yes."

"But justice is nothing more than a joke if he can't be eliminated."

"Sakasky, don't get excited......"

"No, I'm not excited, I'm calm."

Akainu looked at Sengoku, "You and I may not be Imu's opponents, but there is not necessarily no hope for one person. ”

"Hailan?"

"You and I see his talent. Perhaps, in fact, he is more suitable for the position of admiral than me. ”

"But Hailan ...... him"

Sengoku's eyes flashed with sadness, and then Akainu's words made his eyes widen in shock.

"He's alive."

"What?"

"With the Revolutionary Army."

"How do you know?"

"Dorag came and told me about it."

"Yes, that's great!"

Sengoku slapped his thigh hard, "I'm going to tell Zefa their ......"

"Don't worry."

Akainu stopped Sengoku.

Warring States raised his eyebrows: "What?" Still have questions? ”

Akainu said slowly: "Dorag said that he wants us to release the Shemale King's few of their people in exchange for Hailan. ”

"This bastard ......" Sengoku gritted his teeth.

"What are you going to do? Personally, I don't think it's impossible to agree to their request, after all, Hailan's importance is ......."

"No, you don't."

Akainu shook his head, "Naturally, I have a way to bring Hailan back." ”

"Oh?"

"Old marshal, I will arrange it in a while, and the affairs of the headquarters will be handed over to you for the time being, and I will personally go to the revolutionary army."

Sengoku flatly refused: "No! It's too dangerous, in case they leave you there again. ”

"I've tried Dorag's strength, at most it's on par with me, I don't need to be afraid of him at all, once Hailan regains his freedom, the two of us work together, there will be no threat at all, besides, I didn't say that I wanted to rob Hailan."

"Do you have any other way?"

"Of course."

Sengoku took a deep breath, although he didn't like Akainu very much, but I have to say that Akainu is still very reliable, he said that if there is a way, there must be a way.

"Okay, I'll help you take care of the affairs of the headquarters in an orderly manner, but the handling policy of some things may be different from what you think, I'm afraid you won't be able to accept it when you come back."

"What's not to accept about that? Isn't my current job in your hands? ”

Warring States breathed a sigh of relief, "Then you can rest assured, I'm waiting for you to bring Hailan back!" ”

"As you wish."

The "wise general" Warring States never thought that Sakarsky, an iron-blooded soldier who had been fighting all his life, would also have a day of lying, and the direction in which Akainu was advancing alone was not the agreed place of the revolutionary army at all.
