Chapter 260

~6 min read 1,054 words

"The common people, the common people are actually farming, they are planting food!"

"They are holding a large seed that is different from ordinary seeds, and there is a robot beside them helping them plow the fields..."

Fujitora remained silent.

After a long time, he sighed and said:

"I heard that the royal family of this country was very cruel and unrighteous before, and the common people lived very hard lives, right?"

A Vice Admiral answered hesitantly:

"It... seems so..."

"What do you mean by 'seems so'!"

Fujitora suddenly clenched his fists and stomped his cane hard.

"The fact is clearly that! In order to increase national power and pay the Heavenly Tribute to the Celestial Dragons, the royal family of this country plundered the common people to a degree even more cruel than pirates!"

"But what were the Navy and the World Government doing then?"

"Just because they are a member of the government, we still have to protect such a royal family!"

Fujitora's sudden outburst gave the Vice Admiral a start.

Cold sweat flowed down, and he didn't dare to answer.

Fujitora took several deep breaths to calm himself down and said:

"In terms of the justice of maintaining the common people of this country, we in the Navy are not even as good as the pirates of the Beasts."

Once these words were spoken,

the Vice Admiral and all the marines on the warship changed color.

...Please give flowers...

The Vice Admiral said:

"Admiral Fujitora, we are marines, how can we acknowledge pirates? This... how can this be!"

"Why can't it be?"

Fujitora said coldly:

"The facts are right before our eyes now, the smiles on the faces of the common people are the best answer; do you want me to tell a lie?"

The Vice Admiral was speechless.

After a long time,

he said carefully:

"But... but Fleet Admiral Sakazuki told us to come and attack the Beasts Pirates; you wouldn't stop fighting because of this, would you, Admiral Fujitora?"

Fujitora was silent for a moment and said:

"Since I have accepted the position of Admiral, of course I will take responsibility."

"I will not shrink from this battle."

The Vice Admiral breathed a sigh of relief.

He was most afraid that Fujitora wouldn't fight this battle because the Beasts Pirates had done some good things for the common people.

If that happened, Fleet Admiral Akainu would be furious when they returned to Navy Headquarters.

Fujitora didn't speak anymore.

When the warship was only one or two hundred meters away from the coast,

he gave an order:

"You all stay on the warship, I will go to the island alone."

"What?"

All the marines advised:

"Admiral, it's too dangerous for you to go alone!"

Fujitora said resolutely:

"You can see the enemy's strength, right? It would be even more dangerous for you to go to the island; it's better for you to provide artillery support for me from the warship."

The strength the Navy dispatched this time wasn't large.

In terms of overall strength, there was a clear gap with the Beasts Pirates.

This was something the low-level marines could see clearly.

Fujitora was a person who stood at the top level of public justice.

He wanted to protect the ordinary common people, but he also didn't want the marines following him to be harmed.

He intended to test the Beasts Pirates' strength alone first.

And,

his ability would be more favorable for him to exert if he didn't have teammates by his side.

Whoosh!

Fujitora jumped.

He landed on the island.

Facing the enemy's ten-thousand-strong army.

He said calmly:

"I am Fujitora, named Issho, a new recruit who joined the Navy not long ago."

"I have long heard that your Beasts Pirates have the title of the strongest Yonko crew, and now you even intend to compete with the World Government for hegemony over the seas!"

"Since I have accepted the position of Admiral, I have come today to learn a thing or two, despite my lack of ability!"

231. The shocked and dumbfounded Fujitora, the entire Beasts crew is unaffected by gravity!

Facing Fujitora's challenge alone.

Judge immediately showed anger:

"Too arrogant, that guy! He's just a blind man!"

Judge asked Luo Xing for battle.

"Lord Luo Xing, let me solve that blind man and wipe out the entire Navy!"

Judge, who had basically realized his dream of ruling the North Blue, was now a loyal member of the Beasts Pirates.

Whoever dared to be unfavorable to the North Blue he had conquered, Judge would fight them to the death.

But, Luo Xing didn't agree to Judge's request for battle.

He looked deeply toward Fujitora in the distance and said:

"This person is a Gravity-Gravity Fruit user; don't underestimate him just because he's blind. His Observation Haki has been trained to the point where he can perceive the universe and can pull down meteorites at will."

"No amount of ordinary troops would be anything more than cannon fodder under the attack of falling meteorites."

"You Germa clone army, keep an eye on the Navy's warships."

"Fujitora, leave him to Jack's Gifters army."

Judge and his children, including all of Germa's clones, had consumed Monster Cells and had decent strength.

"543" But facing a monster-level Fujitora, it was clearly far from enough.

Having Judge and the others go would likely only be sending them to their deaths.

Instead, it would dampen their own morale.

Luo Xing brought Jack and the Punk Hazard Gifters army this time just to replace Germa in dealing with Admiral Fujitora.

Judge was a bit unconvinced.

But Luo Xing's order was an iron law, and he didn't dare not to listen.

He had to honestly take his son Ichiji and the others, along with the clone army under his command,

and guard the other side, keeping watch on the Navy warships only about two hundred meters away from the coast.

Fujitora had peerless Observation Haki.

He heard Luo Xing's deployment.

He felt surprised in his heart.

"This famous Fifth Emperor seems to know quite a bit about my abilities..."

Fujitora couldn't help but feel very confused.

Before joining the Navy, he had always lived very low-key.

Although he possessed top-tier strength in the world, he had no reputation and had never done any major events.
