I formed the El Cat Investigation Team in Pirates.

After Xie Wen's whereabouts were exposed by Shanks, the Navy Headquarters quickly got the news. As a hawk in the Navy, Akainu, who had one leg chopped off by Xie Wen, immediately volunteered to find trouble with Xie Wen.

And his reasons were very sufficient—

"Balkimore has a lot of information left by Vegapunk. It would be terrible if Bluestar got it! One of his subordinates is a cat-fur tribe who can build the 'Sky Comet Dragon'!"

After learning the name "Tianhuilong" from Xie Wen, the Navy also gave the airships they copied the same name...

Although Sakaski himself did not really want to use this title from Xie Wen.

"It's no big deal even if those data are taken away." Kuzan, who has become a marshal, shook his head. "The World Government has already read those data. They are all some unimportant cultural technologies, and most of them can't be truly realized. They are just ideas."

"Even so, we have to show our attitude!" Sakaski clenched his fists and growled in a low voice: "Letting Blue Star come and go freely in the area we are guarding will only bring shame to the Navy!"

Although Sakaski had some personal grudges, what he said still made some sense, and some hawkish lieutenant generals in the headquarters also spoke up and agreed.

"I agree with Admiral Akainu. We can't let Blue Planet go so easily!"

"That's right. Even if we can't catch him, we can't just sit there and do nothing! At least we have to make him pay a price!"

"Be quiet, everyone."

Vice Admiral Tsuru, the chief of staff of the headquarters, tapped the table lightly with the cup in his hand and reminded him, "Don't forget, Red Hair is also there. What happened before has clearly told us that the current navy simply cannot afford the consequences of going to war with two Four Emperors at the same time. Although Xie Wen has not reached the level of the Four Emperors, our current combat power is not as good as before."

Vice Admiral He's words caused the atmosphere in the entire conference room to freeze.

For the high-ranking navy officers, being forced to bow to pirates is a very shameful thing, but unfortunately they have to accept this reality.

Only Sakaski was unwilling to give up. After all, because of Xie Wen, he had to give himself a fake leg like those pirates...

The magma fruit cannot compare to the ice fruit in this respect. Akainu cannot use magma to make himself a prosthetic limb that can be used in daily life and will not burn other things.

What's even more troublesome is that once Sakaski engages in a more intense battle, the prosthetic leg will be burned by the magma when he transforms into an element.

Akainu did think about asking Vegapunk to help install a durable prosthetic leg that would preferably have other functions, just like Zephyr, but because of the magma fruit, Vegapunk needed time to develop it.

However, even though Sakaski hated Xie Wen, he was not stupid enough to do useless work. He had a good reason for proposing to deal with Xie Wen...

"If we are dealing with Azure Star, the Knights of God will also take action! With their participation, we have the strength to fight against Red Hair and Azure Star at the same time!"

"It's because of Red Hair that I don't agree to take action." Aokiji sighed and explained, "Red Hair's situation is special. With him around, the Knights of God won't go out. Even if they do, they won't contribute much."

It was only after he became a marshal that he learned these secrets...

Who would have thought that Red-Haired Shanks, one of the Four Emperors, was actually a Celestial Dragon who was lost among the people?

Sakaski frowned.

Kuzan's vague statement certainly failed to convince him, but he also knew that the other party was not the kind of person who spoke nonsense, and what's more, it involved the Celestial Dragons' "Gendarmerie" the Knights of God, and obviously there were some things in it that even he, a general, was not qualified to know.

So even though he was still resentful, Sakaski did not continue to insist, but sat back in his seat with a gloomy face.

"Next, let's discuss the matter of the newly promoted admiral... After all, our navy is not strong enough, otherwise why would we be so restrained?"

Although Kuzan disagreed with Sakaski's idea from the beginning, he was also equally aggrieved that their navy could only turn a blind eye to the actions of the Blue Planet.

And don't forget, his relationship with Xie Wen is not that good. Although the two sides have some friendship because Xie Wen took Robin in, they had a conflict over Cavendish before, and Xie Wen mocked Aokiji a lot at that time.

Before, Xie Wen was "one of their own", so Aokiji naturally didn't want to bother with him, but now that Xie Wen has "defected", the situation is naturally different.

Well, if Xie Wen ever releases the video of that time, Kuzan will probably want to kill him just like Sakaski.

Therefore, after opening the topic of the new admiral, Aokiji first looked apologetically at the two admiral candidates in the conference room, "Momotosagi" Gion and "Chaton" Kake, and then continued, "According to the original plan, the new admiral should be chosen from the two of you, Gion and Kake, but among the people who joined our navy during this period, a guy as strong as a monster appeared..."

He looked around at the senior naval officers present and expressed his thoughts: "What our navy needs most now is this kind of top combat power, so I think we should make special arrangements now and give the position of admiral to the strongest one."

"So, if I can defeat the monster you mentioned, Marshal Kuzan, I can still be promoted to general, right?"

Kake, who looked a little wretched and resembled a smaller version of Kizaru, was not angry at Aokiji's words. Instead, he asked with a smile.

However, the fact that he could ask this question meant that he didn't really not care at all.

"Of course, as I said, only the strongest one is qualified to take the vacant general position."

Kuzan nodded. The reason why he did not nominate them directly was that he knew that Gion and Kake would not give up easily. After all, they were colleagues who had worked together for so many years. Of course, he would not hesitate to give them a chance to compete fairly.

He even took the initiative to tell the two of them the man's information...

"That man's name is Aramaki, he was born in the South Sea. Not only is he a user of the Nature-type Morimori Fruit, his Haki cultivation is also quite strong. Even for me, it would not be easy to defeat him. On the contrary, Sakaski's fruit ability is more restrained against him, so it should be easier for him than for me."

……

Xie Wen didn't know that after he ruined the Navy's "Fujitora", "Green Bull" joined the Navy ahead of schedule due to the butterfly effect and the convergence of the world line and was about to become the new admiral.

Of course, even if he knew, he wouldn't care.

Not to mention that Aramaki's performance in the comics made the fans want to kill him, but the ability of the Mori Fruit alone was completely restrained by Klee, so Xie Wen was not afraid of him at all.

After parting with the Red Hair Pirates, Xie Wen and his crew finally arrived near a huge golden ship after sailing for several days.
