Chapter 246

"Those five old immortals, the Five Elders, surely prefer Akainu more..."

Kuzan's spirit was tense; he gazed deeply at Luo Xing, wondering what the man meant by those words.

Next,

a single sentence from Luo Xing shocked and shook him greatly:

"In this struggle for the position of Fleet Admiral, you will not be Akainu's match."

"Kuzan, with your personality, you will leave the Marines; at that time, you might as well consider joining my camp."

"So-called justice always requires constantly changing positions and observing the world with different eyes to truly find the final answer."

Having spoken,

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

Kuzan stared blankly at the empty island.

The words Luo Xing said before leaving stirred up towering waves in his heart.

In this struggle for the Fleet Admiral's position, will he be defeated by Akainu?

How could that man be so certain?

Also,

that man actually invited him to join the Beasts Pirates' camp!

This was a path Kuzan had never considered before.

After all, not long ago, he had fought the Beasts Pirates to the point of shaking heaven and earth.

But upon careful thought, joining the Beasts Pirates was indeed not impossible.

Because if he truly failed to become Fleet Admiral, Kuzan would definitely leave the Marines; he did not wish to serve under Akainu.

This was something Kuzan had planned long ago.

After leaving the Marines, he would either travel the seas alone or join other major powers.

And on this Grand Line, the powers daring to shelter him, a former Marine Admiral, were few and far between.

Only the Four Emperors and the Revolutionary Army.

Of the Four Emperors, now that Whitebeard is gone, only the Beasts Pirates, the Big Mom Pirates, and the Red Hair Pirates remain.

Kuzan did not want to join the Revolutionary Army; conducting national revolutions secretly in the shadows did not fit Kuzan's style.

The Big Mom Pirates were definitely not an option Kuzan would choose.

Because the Emperor Big Mom was a pure, brainless madwoman, possessing neither justice nor a future.

As for the Red Hair Pirates, no need to mention them.

Kuzan vaguely knew that Red Hair's identity, like Jewelry Bonney's, was very special, even connected to the Five Elders.

Kuzan, having left the Marines, would certainly no longer wish to have any entanglement with the World Government.

Thinking thus,

Kuzan's only destination seemed to be the Beasts Pirates.

Of course,

the Blackbeard Pirates, if they could replace Whitebeard and become the new Four Emperors, were also a destination.

But Blackbeard's life or death was currently unknown, and Kuzan also looked down on Blackbeard's power.

Various thoughts churned in his mind, making Kuzan's mood somewhat complex.

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

On the way,

he thought again of the Devil Child Nico Luo Bin, the woman he had spared in Ohara back then.

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

Back then, sparing Luo Bin was because Kuzan wanted to see the Void Century history, to see what truth the World Government was hiding.

Now that Nico Luo Bin was likely also in Luo Xing's hands, it gave Kuzan another reason to join the Beasts Pirates.

Kuzan sighed slightly.

Regardless of what happens in the future, for now, he must fight with all his might for the position of Fleet Admiral.

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

Sabaody Archipelago.

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

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

The Summit War and the Sabaody Struggle were both the prologues to huge wars.

The smoke permeating the world would not stop, but would grow ever thicker.

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

211. Judge, who decided to submit, gives Reiju to Luo Xing

The Germa Kingdom was one of the largest nations in the North Blue, having once ruled the North Blue.

Later, its national strength gradually declined, and its glory was gone.

But through the ambitious Vinsmoke Judge's cloning technology, Germa's national strength gradually increased again.

The most terrifying aspect of Judge's clones was that they lacked human emotions such as fear and pain.

They would only obey their master's orders and charge forward without fear.

Even in the face of death, they would not even blink an eyelid.

Gachi, whose ambition was immense, was not satisfied with this alone.

He had even turned all his children into emotionless monsters.

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

Reiju, however, retained a trace of emotion.

The youngest, Sanji, had not been successfully modified, and was thus expelled from the Vinsmoke family, his fate unknown.

Gachi, full of ambition, possessed four powerful children and an army of clones who feared no death; his dream of ruling the North Blue again, or perhaps "August 23rd," might be fulfilled within his lifetime.

But Gachi could not wait any longer.

Impatient and eager for quick success, he sought to form an alliance with the Big Mom Pirates, one of the Four Emperors, to gain their support.

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

However.

An accident occurred with extreme suddenness.

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

In a state of utter confusion,

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

His children and all his clone soldiers were also reprogrammed by that detestable man, whose technological prowess surpassed that of Vegapunk.

They became loyal only to the Beasts Pirates, no longer faithful to him, Gachi.

Gachi, seething with rage and with eyes bloodshot, sought to settle the score with Luo Xing, but was kicked away by his three sons and beaten mercilessly.

Those three creatures, unworthy of the name, were his own flesh and blood!

Yet what did that matter?

Ichiji, Niji, and Yonji had long since lost all concept of familial affection.

Could a father not be beaten?

Gachi was so furious that he fainted dead away.

Had it not been for Reiju, the three of them might well have killed Gachi.

Luo Xing spared Gachi's life and told him to think carefully about whether he was willing to sincerely submit to him.

When Gachi awoke, he was utterly dejected.

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

Tears streamed down Gachi's face; at first, he was extremely unwilling to accept this, vowing to reclaim the power and position that rightfully belonged to him!

He desperately studied the program Luo Xing had modified, hoping to reprogram the clone soldiers back to their original state.

But.
