Chapter 239

"Those old immortals, the Five Elders, probably prefer Akainu a bit more..."

Aokiji’s spirit was tense, and he stared deeply at Luo Xing, not knowing what the man meant by those words.

Next,

Luo Xing’s words left him greatly shocked and even shaken:

"In this battle for the position of Fleet Admiral, you will not be Akainu’s opponent."

"Admiral Admiral Kuzan, with your personality, you will leave the Navy, won't you? When that time comes, you might as well consider joining my camp."

"The so-called justice is something that always requires constant changes in stance, observing the world from different perspectives, to truly find the final answer."

After speaking.

Luo Xing left the place with Jewelry Bonney, Shiryu, and the others through the Anywhere Door.

Aokiji stared blankly at the empty island.

Luo Xing’s parting words had stirred up monstrous waves in his heart.

In this battle for the position of Fleet Admiral, would he lose to Akainu?

How could that man be so certain?

Also,

That man had actually invited him to join the camp of the Beasts Pirates!

This was a path Aokiji had never thought of before.

After all, not long ago, he had fought the Beasts Pirates in a world-shaking battle.

But thinking about it carefully, joining the Beasts Pirates was indeed not an impossible thing.

Because if he really failed to become Fleet Admiral, Aokiji would definitely leave the Navy; he wouldn't want to work under Akainu.

This was something Aokiji had planned long ago.

After leaving the Navy, he would either travel the seas alone or join another major force.

And on these seas, the forces that dared to take in a former Navy Admiral like him could be counted on one hand.

Only the Yonko and the Revolutionary Army.

With Whitebeard gone, the Yonko now only consisted of the Beasts Pirates, the Big Mom Pirates, and the Red Hair Pirates.

Aokiji didn't want to join the Revolutionary Army; that kind of secretly conducting national revolutions in the shadows didn't fit Aokiji’s style.

Aokiji certainly wouldn't choose the Big Mom Pirates either.

Because Big Mom was just a purely brainless madwoman, with neither justice nor a future.

Not to mention the Red Hair Pirates.

Aokiji vaguely knew that Red Hair’s identity was the same as Jewelry Bonney’s—very special, and even involved with the Five Elders.

Aokiji, having left the Navy, would certainly not want to have any more dealings with the World Government.

Thinking about it this way,

Aokiji’s only destination seemed to be the Beasts Pirates.

Of course,

If the Blackbeard Pirates, who could replace Whitebeard as the new Yonko, were also a destination.

But Blackbeard’s life or death was unknown at the moment, and Aokiji didn't really look down on Blackbeard’s forces.

Various thoughts churned in his mind, making Aokiji’s mood a bit complicated.

He ordered the warship to turn around and return to Marineford.

On the way,

He remembered the Child of the Devil, Nico Robin, the woman he had let go back in Ohara.

He had heard before that this woman had joined Crocodile’s Baroque Works, and later Crocodile was killed by the Fifth Emperor Luo Xing, so this woman must have fallen into that man’s hands as well.

Aokiji had let Robin go back then because he wanted to see the blank hundred years of history, to see what kind of truth the World Government was hiding.

And now that Nico Robin was likely in Luo Xing’s hands, it gave Aokiji another reason to join the Beasts Pirates.

Aokiji sighed slightly.

No matter what happens in the future, let’s fight for the position of Fleet Admiral with all our might for now.

If he could become Fleet Admiral and realize his ideals and ambitions, that would of course be the best.

Sabaody Archipelago.

After Luo Xing returned, he imprisoned Jewelry Bonney in a room and sent people to guard her.

He ordered Shiryu and the others to guard Sabaody, while he himself went to the Germa Kingdom in the North Blue through the Anywhere Door.

The Summit War and the Sabaody battle were both preludes to a massive war.

The smoke of war permeating the world would not stop, but would only become thicker and thicker.

Luo Xing intended to use Germa’s clone soldier legion to first occupy the entire North Blue.

211. Judge decides to submit, sends Reiju to Luo Xing

The Germa Kingdom is one of the largest countries in the North Blue and once ruled the North Blue.

Later, the national power gradually declined, and its glory was no more.

But through the cloning technology of the ambitious Vinsmoke Judge, Germa's national power gradually strengthened again.

The most terrifying thing about Judge's clones is that they possess no human emotions such as fear or pain.

They only obey their master's orders, charging and killing without fear.

Even in the face of death, they wouldn't blink an eye.

The highly ambitious Judge was not satisfied with just this.

He actually turned all of his own children into emotionless monsters.

Ichiji, Niji, and Yonji completely lost their emotions and were no different from robots.

Reiju, however, retained a small amount of emotion.

The youngest, Sanji, was not successfully modified and was therefore driven out of Vinsmoke, his life or death unknown.

Judge was ambitious, possessing four powerful children and a legion of clones that didn't fear death; his dream of ruling the North Blue again might be completed within his lifetime.

But Judge couldn't wait.

Impatient for success, he wanted to marry into the Four Emperors Big Mom Pirates to gain their support.

In this way, his dream of ruling the North Blue could be realized very quickly.

However.

The accident happened very abruptly.

He had just begun preliminary negotiations with the Big Mom Pirates when the Beasts Pirates, known as the strongest Four Emperors crew, suddenly descended upon Germa through a strange door.

In a state of utter confusion, Judge

was easily captured by Luo Xing, the Fifth Emperor, whose fame was now even greater than that of the Four Emperors.

His children and all his clone soldiers were also reprogrammed by that detestable man, whose technological means were even more formidable than Vegapunk's.

They became loyal only to the Beasts Pirates and no longer loyal to him, Judge.

Judge was furious, his eyes bloodshot, wanting to settle the score with Luo Xing, but he was kicked away and beaten up by his three sons.

Those three things, worse than beasts—he was their biological father!

Yet, what of it?

Ichiji, Niji, and Yonji had long since lost the concept of family affection.

Could one not beat a thing like a father?

Judge was so angry he passed out.

If not for Luo Xing considering Reiju, Ichiji and the others might have killed Judge.

Luo Xing spared Judge and told him to think carefully about whether he was willing to sincerely submit to him.

The awakened Judge was dejected.

Germa was still the same Germa, but it no longer belonged to him.

Tears flowed down Judge's face; at first, he was very unwilling—he wanted to take back the power that should have been his!

He desperately studied the programs Luo Xing had modified, wanting to re-modify the clone soldiers.

But.
