One Piece: Divine Bird Phoenix

Chapter 96 "I have troubled him over the years."

Shinsekai G-4 Naval Base.

In the smoke-filled office, Akainu, who was holding a cigar, stared at CP0 with disdain.

"You know, what are you talking about?"

"Although this is unbelievable, it is what it is. Please take a look at this."

CP0, wearing a patterned mask, placed the CP5 investigation results on his desk.

Taking a deep breath, the sparks on the front of the cigar became brighter, and he slowly exhaled a stream of smoke to cover his face. Akainu picked up the documents on the table.

Under the smoke, no one could clearly see Akainu's thoughts.

"Even if this is true, the person you should be looking for is the marshal of the navy, not me, the general."

"I believe you are very clear about the relationship between Monkey D. An and the top brass of the Navy. It is precisely for these reasons that the five adults chose you to carry out this mission." Regarding Akainu's questions, CP0 gave full explanation. explain.

"Furthermore, the five adults asked me to tell you that as long as you can complete this matter, they will give priority to you in the selection of navy marshals in the future."

"After hearing the promise given by the Five Old Stars, Akainu, who had always been expressionless, began to feel hot inside."

"Marshal of the Navy, that is the position he has always pursued. Although Akainu now admires Sengoku's ability, he still feels that Sengoku is too weak in dealing with pirates. He actually allowed pirates to become some kind of four emperors. It is simply heaven. Big joke."

"If I were the marshal of the navy, I would definitely make these arrogant scumbags pay the price with blood."

His expression returned to calm, and Akainu asked: "Even if I am willing to take action, how can you guarantee that Garp and Kuzan will not help."

Seeing Akainu's heartbeat, CP0 continued, "Just before I came here, the World Government transferred them to the New World to perform tasks. No one will disturb you during the cleanup."

After careful consideration, Akainu nodded in agreement, "Remind them not to forget their promise."

After saying that, Akainu gave the order to see off the guests.

Back on the World Government ship, CP0 changed his obedient attitude and said sarcastically: "As a dog, I don't have any awareness of being a dog.

"Captain, what are you talking about," asked the CP0 team member next to him.

"It's nothing, it's just that the Navy is going to change this time."

……

Navy Headquarters.

After receiving the mission, Kuzan and Kizaru led their men towards the new world.

In the Marshal's office, Sengoku had a look of confusion on his face as the World Government transferred all the generals at once.

Without thinking much, Warring States continued to concentrate on official duties.

……

One day after Kuzan and Kizaru left, An Ye took Ain and other new students who joined him to carry out the first mission in their lives.

"Instructor An, what do you think of my boxing skills?"

On the wide deck of the warship, trainee Darcy showed off his unique skill of "wild dog eating" like a showman.

If you give him a plug-in, he might become a "resounding" figure on the sea.

On the side of the boat, An, who was competing with three birds to eat potato chips, couldn't help but burst out laughing, and the crumbs of potato chips sprayed all over the three birds.

"Hahaha!!, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

While laughing, An wiped the feathers of the three birds.

Suddenly, the entire warship was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

Dawn Island, a remote island rarely visited by people on the Grand Line, is located outside the main seven-day shipping lane.

Hundreds of years ago, warriors who explored the sea came to this island and gave it this name because they could occasionally see particularly bright dawns.

Now this originally peaceful island is filled with shouts of death, and vicious pirates have broken the peace here.

"Ain, order the soldiers to line up and prepare to land on the island!"

An reminded him after spotting the pirates on the distant island.

Because Mars recently took Sally and Doreen to White Bird Town, An only brought the new students with him on this mission.

……

At the same time, in the waters not far from Dawn Island, Akainu and three CP3s led nearly a hundred CP agents in seven large ships and headed towards Dawn Island.

……

"Come on! Colonel Iron."

On Dawn Island, soldiers who had eliminated other pirates watched the battle of Ain.

Compared to the excitement of ordinary soldiers, An felt very strange.

"Why do I feel like this guy is different from the information given by the World Government, and this island doesn't look like an important food storage base of the World Government."

Rethinking the entire incident, a strong sense of foreboding surged into An's heart.

"What's wrong," An said, pacing back and forth irritably.

While An was thinking, Ain ended the pirate captain's life with a gorgeous Iai slash.

Then all the soldiers burst into loud screams.

"Boom!"

A harsh roar broke the joy.

A cannonball exploded on the warship, and the sudden attack cut off the cheers after victory. In the eyes of everyone in surprise, a ship with the cross flag of the World Government appeared on the sea.

The artillery continued to roar, one shell after another destroying the warship. The thick mast in the center of the warship collapsed, and the sail, which symbolized justice, burned and turned into ashes in the raging fire.

"So that's it!" An sighed deeply.

With the appearance of the World Government's ships, all doubts are solved.

An has been waiting for this day to come since the day he killed the Celestial Dragon.

Facing the oncoming World Government fleet and looking at Akainu with a red rose on his chest, Ann gave him the warmest welcome.

"Come on! Let's dance in the flames!"

"Sacred Bird? Star Drop"

With a sweet cry, An Yuanyuan jumped up, bright flames gathered on his chest, a cross of red and blue flames formed, and the flames fell towards the sea like meteors.

"defense!"

Noticing the shining stars in the sky, CP0 reminded loudly.

But if the reminder is useful, what kind of strong person is needed in this sea?

Even if ordinary CPs find danger, they can't resist it based on their strength.

The mesmerizing meteor hits the ship, and the compressed fire power explodes in the fleet, blooming with violent beauty.

Staring at the flying flaming bullets, Akainu's expression did not change. His bulging muscle right arm began to boil, and hot magma flowed.

He raised his right hand, and streams of magma spat out from his palm, swallowing up the attacks flying from the sky.

The flame meteors continued to fire, and An tried his best to eliminate the opponent's vitality.

"Major General An, this is...," Ain, who had not reacted until now, asked in confusion.

The attack on his hand continued, and An replied calmly: "Ain, this World Government fleet is here to find me."

"Major General An, you haven't committed any crime. Why would the world government do this?" Even after getting An's explanation, Ain still didn't know why.

"No! Ain, I have committed what they think is a crime. I killed a Celestial Dragon."

Hearing his major general say in an understatement that he had killed a Celestial Dragon, not only Ain, but also everyone else present looked in disbelief.

Seeing people starting to leave the fleet and rushing towards him, knowing that he would never return to the navy, An continued: "Ain! Listen, this is my last order!"

"When the opponent's fleet arrives at the island, I will contain their main combat force. Then you and others can snatch a ship and escape from here. Remember, the sooner the better. You must survive."

"And when I see Mars later, help me apologize to him and say, 'I've troubled him all these years.'"
