I prefer to call it a realist. Of course, calling it a fence-sitter is also correct.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Akainu chuckled: \"Indeed very realistic.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Admiral Akainu, to be honest, I don't care about the so-called ideological struggle between you and Admiral Aokiji, because whether it's you or Aokiji, once you become a Marine Admiral, you will never be able to fully implement your ideals.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Since that's the case, as a Marine officer, I naturally hope that the change of Fleet Admiral can be smoother, and Aokiji can do this, while you cannot, so I will naturally support Aokiji.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Akainu stood up abruptly, looking straight at Karl: \"What do you mean by that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"What do I mean? I think Admiral Akainu should know very well. The Marines have always been the Marines of the World Government, haven't they?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Logically speaking, your chances of becoming Fleet Admiral are not high, but it is precisely because of the strong support of the World Government that the candidate for Fleet Admiral has been delayed. Admiral Akainu, you don't really not know the reason for this, do you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Think about the Marines after Sakazuki becomes Fleet Admiral!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Radical, unpopular...\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>As Fleet Admiral, Akainu is alienated from his subordinates, and there are simply not many people he can use, with a tendency to be sidelined.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>And this is exactly what the World Government wants to see. In this way, the Marines will completely become their exclusive violent agency, without any scruples.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Perhaps Akainu, after becoming Fleet Admiral, will realize this one day and have a showdown with the World Government, but... isn't there still Aokiji?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Although I don't know what the World Government told you, the reason they support you is definitely not because they think you can lead the Marines further, but because they think you are more obedient compared to Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Kuzan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"That's impossible! Everything I do is for justice, absolute justice!\" Akainu's emotions were a bit agitated.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Karl said in a low voice: \"Admiral Akainu, no matter what you think, in the eyes of the World Government, you are a very obedient person. No matter what orders they have, you will follow them to the letter. Who wouldn't Move Move Like such a Fleet Admiral?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"They want me to be a puppet?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Actually, as long as you calm down and think about it, it's easy to understand this point. Why must the World Government support you instead of Aokiji or Kizaru? What is the difference between you and them?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Since it's come to this, I won't say much more. Actually, I shouldn't have said so much. Anyway, whether it's you or Aokiji, it doesn't matter to me who becomes the next Fleet Admiral. I just don't want Admiral Akainu to be sold by the World Government and still be counting the money for them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Akainu looked at Karl silently, without speaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Did he really not know this?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>No, he actually knew it, but if he didn't do this, he would have no chance of winning at all. Unlike Aokiji, who had the support of Sengoku, Garp, and Tsuru, the top Marine brass, he had to rely on the World Government if he wanted to become Fleet Admiral.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It was just that he never wanted to admit this.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The next day, Fleet Admiral's office.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"I heard you've had meals with both Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Admiral Kuzan and Sakazuki recently?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Karl smiled bitterly: \"That's right, it's too hard for me! A Marine Vice Admiral still has to worry about this and that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Sengoku laughed: \"You are not an ordinary Marine Vice Admiral! In the entire Marine Headquarters, who dares to give you a hard time?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Alright, alright, let's not talk about this. Smoker called me yesterday and said that Alabasta has been quite chaotic recently, with both Crocodile and the Straw Hat Pirates. By the way, there's also Fire Fist Ace. Does the World Government have anything to say?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Sengoku scratched his head: \"Uh, this, there really is. Recently, the World Government is preparing to start the final negotiation with Cobra, but I don't know when they will talk.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"You're not going to ask me to go, are you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"No need to trouble you. This time, the World Government is preparing to talk in person.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Knock, knock, knock~\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Moshi moshi~ is anyone there?\" A familiar voice came from outside the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Come in, Kizaru.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>After Yuanzi came in and saw that Karl was also there, his eyes lit up: \"Yo, isn't this the famous Marine hero Karl? What a coincidence!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Admiral Kizaru, long time no see! What have you been busy with lately?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Yuanzi pouted his little mouth and said with some grievance: \"It's still about the Pacifista. That guy Vegapunk has really put me through the wringer! Karl, you are a Marine hero, you have to vent for me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Borsalino, be serious. If you have something to say, just say it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Yuanzi shrugged helplessly: \"The Pacifista is ready.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"What?\" Sengoku stood up with a start, looking at Kizaru in surprise: \"Are you telling the truth?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Yuanzi shrugged: \"Believe it or not, that's what Dr. Vegapunk said, Sentomaru can testify.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"That's great, that's great. Now I have more confidence!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Yuanzi asked curiously: \"What confidence? Does Fleet Admiral Sengoku want to attack Totto Land?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"None of your business. Where is the Pacifista now? Can I see it with my own eyes?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Yuanzi scratched his head: \"About that, the World Government people are still testing it. I guess it will be sent here in a few days.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Sengoku nodded slightly, his mood improved a lot, and then he invited Karl and Kizaru out.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"I heard Sakazuki treated you to dinner yesterday?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"You even know this? You stay in Vegapunk's laboratory every day, how is your news so well-informed?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Yuanzi pouted happily: \"Sigh, it was all told to me by that kid Sentomaru. He is very interested in this matter. By the way, do you know Sentomaru? My subordinate, he is your loyal fan!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Sentomaru? Never heard of him. Is he in the Marine Science Unit?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Yuanzi nodded: \"That's right, he is the captain of the Marine Headquarters Science Unit and also Vegapunk's bodyguard. It's normal that you haven't heard of him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Hahaha, if there's a chance, I can meet him. After all, I was once your subordinate!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Yuanzi smiled lewdly, as if thinking of something happy, and sighed: \"The most correct decision I made in my life was to snatch you away from Sakazuki. You were so young back then, and now you... sigh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"How are you still so young?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Karl touched his face: \"Is that so? Maybe handsome people age slower?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Yuanzi touched the wrinkles all over his face and said suspiciously: \"Is there such a saying? Why don't I feel it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Karl gasped. If it weren't for the fact that Yuanzi was a fellow countryman, Karl would have said something.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>What kind of status are you...\u003C\u002Fp>",1166,"2026-06-16T20:20:52.563Z","2026-06-17T08:56:49.806Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","b1dcc199f395c9269cc1bdc5d1cd96e36d673e34b67f287b645927f9e84bb525","one-piece-i-grow-stronger-by-slacking-off-as-a-n-chapter-241","one-piece-i-grow-stronger-by-slacking-off-as-a-n-chapter-239",397,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fone-piece-i-grow-stronger-by-slacking-off-as-a-n-cover.jpg"]
