Chapter 244

How could he, a dignified Navy Admiral, join a hostile pirate force?

But thinking about it carefully, he found that it wasn't entirely impossible.

Until this very moment, having lost his place in the Navy, Aokiji realized more clearly,

Although the world was vast, it seemed that apart from the Beasts Pirates, there really was no other force that could accommodate him.

Aokiji stood in place and thought for a long time.

Then,

He put on his shoulder bag, got on his bicycle, and brought only a penguin.

He prepared to go to the war-torn North Blue to take a look.

215. Fujitora and Green Bull Join the Navy, Vergo Eats the Bat-Bat Fruit, Mythical Zoan!

The Germa clone soldier legion progressed rapidly; in just over ten days, they had already conquered most of the North Blue.

The most powerful countries in the North Blue were the first to be destroyed, and the royal families who sat in high positions and did nothing were slaughtered.

The forces of the Navy and the World Government located in the North Blue were also uprooted.

Among them, several strongholds of the Revolutionary Army were also destroyed.

The whole world was shaken.

Even the most obtuse people could see at this time that,

The Beasts Pirates, that mysterious Fifth Emperor Luo Xing, and the world’s strongest creature, Yonko Kaido, were going to compete for hegemony over these seas with the World Government that had stood for eight hundred years!

This was unprecedented!

Even Rocks back then only attacked God Valley and didn't really rule a sea area.

As for the Pirate King Roger, although his name was very famous, he didn't actually pose a substantial threat to the World Government.

Roger’s greatest achievements were reaching Laugh Tale and learning the truth about the blank hundred years.

And opening the Great Pirate Era before his death.

But Roger didn't make the truth of history public.

Clearly, he believed the time wasn't right.

He believed that even if history were made public, it wouldn't be enough to overthrow the World Government.

He just pinned his hopes on future generations, hoping that someone in the Great Pirate Era would inherit his will.

In contrast,

The Beasts Pirates directly started fighting with the World Government, competing for territory and hegemony, which was undoubtedly much more domineering and powerful.

And facing the increasingly aggressive stance of the Beasts Pirates, the Navy and the World Government naturally wouldn't sit idly by.

The Navy started a world military draft, recruiting new combat power on a global scale.

Even though the Navy’s prestige had fallen to a historical low due to the destruction of Impel Down and the occupation of Sabaody.

But the Navy was, after all, the largest force on these seas, and the new Navy led by Akainu, holding high the banner of absolute justice, still attracted a considerable number of people to join.

There was even no lack of top powerhouses.

For example, a blind old man leaning on a cane turned out to be a Gravity Fruit user.

In the Navy’s recruitment test, he easily crushed an elite Vice Admiral of the Navy Headquarters.

This matter even alarmed the retired former Fleet Admiral Sengoku.

There was also an unruly guy with green hair who flew to the Navy Headquarters with a blade of grass stuck in his back.

This person’s ability was terrifying; he could absorb nutrients from the human body and use them for himself.

According to this guy, he hadn't eaten for several years.

The blind old man and the green-haired guy soon became famous within the Navy, being called rare and powerful monsters.

The retired Sengoku sighed and said:

"Fujitora and Green Bull both possess the strength of a Navy Admiral!"

This statement greatly encouraged the new Navy led by Akainu.

After all, the former Admiral Aokiji had left the Navy after losing the battle for the position of Fleet Admiral.

Akainu had ascended to the position of Fleet Admiral, and two Admiral positions had suddenly become vacant.

Fujitora and Green Bull could just happen to fill these two positions.

However, someone else had long been eyeing one of the Admiral positions.

This person was naturally Luo Xing’s mole in the Navy, the current G-5 base commander, "Ghost Bamboo" Vergo.

Vergo had once defeated the former Admiral "Black Arm" Zephyr, who had betrayed the Navy, and was praised by Sengoku at the time as having the potential of an Admiral.

But Vergo was ultimately a certain distance away from Admiral-level strength; although his seniority and contributions surpassed Fujitora and Green Bull, he might not necessarily be able to compete with the two.

For this reason, Vergo felt anxious.

Just then, a call from Luo Xing came from the North Blue.

Vergo hurriedly answered.

Luo Xing’s voice came through:

"Vergo, you must take advantage of this world military draft by the Navy to ascend to the position of Navy Admiral."

Vergo looked ashamed and said:

"I don't know where Fujitora and Green Bull suddenly popped out from; both of them possess monster-level strength, and this subordinate... this subordinate fears I might not be their opponent."

Luo Xing, who was a transmigrator, had long considered this.

He said calmly:

"No matter, I have a way to increase your strength in a short time."

Vergo was overjoyed.

"Go to Sleepy Town and eat that Bat-Bat Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Vampire model. Your nickname is 'Ghost Bamboo' after all; this Devil Fruit must be very compatible with you."

Letting Vergo eat the Mythical Zoan Bat-Bat Fruit was something Luo Xing had thought of the moment he saw Redfield in Impel Down.

Redfield was old and frail, and the Bat-Bat Fruit could restore his youth, showing the power of this Mythical Zoan.

After Vergo ate it, his strength would be enough to instantly skyrocket to be on par with an Admiral.

After hanging up the phone,

The extremely excited Vergo immediately led the G-5 warship toward Sleepy Town.

The world was undergoing a huge shock.

While there was turmoil, it was also a good opportunity for heroes and villains to show their faces.

And Marshall D. Teach, Blackbeard, who should have been the center of attention in this turmoil, was in a miserable state and almost died.

Blackbeard lay in a dilapidated wooden house, spitting out mouthfuls of seawater from time to time, cursing:

"Damn Shiryu of the Rain, damn Fifth Emperor Luo Xing, damn Beasts Pirates!! I will make them pay the price sooner or later!!"

Blackbeard was overcome with rage and felt extremely frustrated.

On that island at the entrance to the New World, he had happened to capture one of the Supernovas, Jewelry Bonney, and was preparing to use her to trade with the Navy for a warship.

But unfortunately, that mysterious Fifth Emperor Luo Xing had actually come over through the Anywhere Door again.

Plus, the Navy had sent Admiral Aokiji.

Blackbeard had no choice but to choose to run away again.

But Shiryu of the Rain, Avalo Pizarro, and the others, who should have joined the Blackbeard Pirates in the original story, were chasing Blackbeard relentlessly, in a posture of killing them all.

Avalo Pizarro, Catarina Devon, and the other four had all eaten Ghost-level monster cells, and Shiryu had eaten a Dragon-level one.

How could the Blackbeard Pirates, with only five members, be their opponents when their strength had skyrocketed?

Not to mention having to guard against Luo Xing and Aokiji.

.... ........ 0

Even though Blackbeard had used all his tricks, the small sailboat he was riding was destroyed.

All members of the Blackbeard Pirates fell into the sea.

Blackbeard was a Devil Fruit user; he drank a bellyful of seawater on the spot and passed out.

Fortunately,

The Fighting Champion Burgess was still loyal and brave; he searched in the sea for several days and finally found Blackbeard.

Blackbeard was also lucky; he hadn't died yet.
