Chapter 275

"As a Navy Admiral, playing this recklessly is not good! What if ordinary people get hurt? Wouldn't that be a sin?"

Crack!

The man waved his hand, and a thick wall of ice appeared out of nowhere.

It blocked the last two meteorites.

Who else but Kuzan, who lost the battle for the Fleet Admiral position against Akainu and left the Navy to travel the North Blue, could so easily create such an ice wall?

234. The conversation between Kuzan and Luo Bin, Fujitora kneels before the people.

Kuzan had already been traveling in the North Blue for some time.

He had basically witnessed the entire process of the Beasts Pirates conquering the North Blue with his own eyes.

Killing and death were unavoidable; war was inherently extremely cruel.

But Kuzan unexpectedly discovered that

apart from necessary killings, the Beasts Pirates did not kill innocent civilians.

On the contrary.

They even distributed a super seed and those Cybertronians with integrated industrial agriculture and multi-functionality to the civilians.

Kuzan investigated.

The super seeds were more than ten or a hundred times stronger than ordinary seeds, reaching the terrifying level of a thousand jin per mu!

Kuzan was greatly shocked.

He immediately realized the significance of these super seeds for the entire world.

"The Fifth Emperor Luo Xing, that man, turns out he has such inventions besides weapons of war."

Kuzan remained silent for a long time.

He recalled

at the entrance to the New World,

when he went to save Jewelry Bonney who had been captured by Blackbeard,

the Fifth Emperor Luo Xing had once made an offer to recruit him.

After leaving the Navy,

Kuzan discovered that if he wanted to influence the changes of the era, the Beasts Pirates were indeed his only destination.

But Kuzan was not a simple and naive person; obtaining his allegiance was not that easy.

Kuzan decided no longer to act as a Navy Admiral,

but from the perspective of an observer,

to observe what the Beasts Pirates actually intended to do.

Was he planning to conquer the world and become the King of the World like Rocks of old,

or truly intended to create a new era different from the World Government?

Kuzan observed slowly.

The first place he actually arrived at was not the North Blue, but Alabasta.

In Alabasta, he met Nico Luo Bin, whom he had left in Ohara.

Nico Luo Bin told Kuzan about how Luo Xing had saved Alabasta from the hands of Crocodile.

And she asked Kuzan in return:

"Allowing the Seven Warlords to wreak havoc on a nation, is this the Navy's justice?"

Kuzan had no answer.

Kuzan saw the current life of the people of Alabasta,

which was, compared to the past, like heaven and earth.

Undoubtedly, it was also brought about by that man.

Kuzan asked:

"Nico Luo Bin, have you also joined that man's camp?"

"Then, how much of the truth about the Void Century do you know?"

Kuzan's original purpose in letting Luo Bin go was curiosity about the truth of the world.

(bjdh) He no longer blindly believed in the World Government's justice.

Luo Bin took out several Poneglyphs and said:

"That man helped me obtain many historical texts that should have been very difficult to get. The truth of history, including the whereabouts of the final island Raftel, will be revealed sooner or later."

"Is that so..."

Kuzan nodded.

He then left Alabasta and went to the North Blue.

After seeing the Beasts Pirates' actions in the North Blue,

he had basically confirmed it.

That man, the Fifth Emperor Luo Xing, his goal was absolutely not merely to become the King of the World who intimidates the world with violence like Rocks,

but truly intended to replace the World Government and rule this world!

Kuzan made a decision.

He would join the Beasts Pirates, or rather, cooperate with the Beasts Pirates to witness the changes of the world.

Of course,

he also intended to exert his own strength during the process of change.

Thus.

Upon hearing that Akainu had dispatched the newly appointed Admiral Fujitora to attack Germa,

Kuzan immediately rushed over.

He happened to arrive just as the meteorite Fujitora had pulled down from the universe was about to strike the civilians.

Kuzan performed a cool rescue.

And said to Fujitora:

"Ah, la la, a newly recruited Admiral of the Navy is indeed at monster level."

"But when using your ability, be careful not to harm the innocent."

"Otherwise, it will tarnish the word 'Justice' you carry on your backs!"

All the meteorites were blocked.

Fujitora breathed a sigh of relief; at least no irreparable casualties had occurred.

Fujitora asked in a deep voice:

"With such a cold aura upon you, could you be the former Navy Admiral, Kuzan?"

Kuzan said calmly:

"It seems Sakazuki mentioned me to you as well, but I am no longer in the Navy."

"Even if I am not in the Navy, judging by your act of saving the people, you are still a guardian of justice."

Fujitora clasped his fists and bowed in gratitude:

"Thank you, Admiral Kuzan, for helping this old man atone for his sins."

Kuzan's eyes flickered, somewhat surprised.

He did not expect that the Admiral recruited by the extreme Akainu would be so humble and polite, completely unlike Akainu's personality.

Kuzan said:

"Do not call me Admiral again; I said I am no longer a Marine."

"So—" Fujitora looked up and asked in a steady voice, "what is your stance now?"

Luo Xing was also very curious about this question.

He looked at Kuzan with expectant eyes.

Kuzan fell silent for a moment and said:

"Since leaving the Navy, I can no longer return to my former stance."

"Switching to the opposite side of the Navy and viewing this world from an opposing stance is not bad."

Fujitora, with his pale pupils wide open, let out a slight sigh.

"An opposing stance, does that mean you are joining the Beasts Pirates? If Fleet Admiral Sakazuki knew, he would be very angry."

Clang!
