Chapter 289

Aokiji took out Enel's bounty poster and carefully compared it with the corpse in the giant crater.

After looking for a while, he sighed and said, "It really is this guy, a guy with a bounty of nearly 4.9 billion, and he died so easily?"

Karl shook his head: "He just committed too great a crime; his own strength isn't that strong. Being able to destroy Mary Geoise was entirely due to the power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit."

"Of course, this guy is indeed hard to deal with. If he were determined to run, I really wouldn't be able to do anything about him."

Aokiji asked with interest: "Then isn't he the same as that guy Borsalino?"

Karl was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "About the same, but he is more agile than Admiral Kizaru. After all, Admiral Kizaru always goes straight, while this guy's movement trajectory is not so easy to predict."

"I see, that is indeed troublesome. You there, clean up the corpse and prepare for the return trip."

"Yes!"

The Navy soldiers cautiously used wooden sticks to pick up Lei Yu. He had heard stories about this cursed blade, so naturally, he dared not touch it casually.

"Vice Admiral Karl, this is your sword."

Karl smiled slightly, took Lei Yu, and sheathed it: "Thank you."

"You are too polite, Vice Admiral Karl, this is what I should do!"

Seeing this, Aokiji smiled, feeling more and more that Karl was a good Navy man, at least not from the Hawk Sect, and in short, very much to his liking.

"Alright, let's go quickly! I'm afraid this island won't last much longer."

Just by glancing at it, Aokiji knew what kind of battle had taken place here. It was already a miracle that this island hadn't split apart yet.

After returning to the warship, Karl was drinking water, and Aokiji took the initiative to get some ice cubes for him.

"You've made a great contribution this time. I'm afraid it won't be long before you're on equal footing with us! It's truly enviable!"

"Admiral Aokiji is joking. Didn't you all come up the same way back then?"

Aokiji smiled and shook his head, looking at the distant sea, and said seemingly casually: "You say, if Fleet Admiral Sengoku retires, who would be better to succeed as the Fleet Admiral?"

It's not that I'm saying anything, Aokiji, but I could hear the sound of your abacus clicking all the way from the North Blue. Sengoku hasn't even retired yet!

"As for that, personally, I think Admiral Kizaru..."

"Kizaru?" Aokiji was stunned, then smiled and shook his head, pulling down the eye mask on his head.

Once the eye mask is on, he doesn't care about anyone.

Since Karl didn't want to discuss this issue, then don't discuss it. As long as Karl doesn't lean toward the Hawk Sect, it doesn't matter if he's a Dove Sect or a Neutral Sect.

Marineford, Fleet Admiral's office.

"Beheaded Enel so quickly? Who did it?"
