You’re going back to the Marines?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, Seven was chatting with users from Green Grass and Dragon Ball on the trading platform when he suddenly received a call from Vergo, leaving him both exasperated and amused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could being an undercover agent… be addictive?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Counting up Vergo’s years of service: from the Donquixote Family to the Marines, from the Marines to the Morning Star Corps, from the Morning Star Corps to the Beasts Pirates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, after all this circling, he’s returning to the Marines again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Truly a legend among legends.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, Admiral Sakazuki has never known: Vergo is actually a spy sent by Doflamingo into the Marines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sakazuki still believes Vergo defected from the Marines because he was won over by Seven’s charm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Does Sakazuki know?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Den Den Mushi mimicked Vergo’s tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Captain, Admiral Sakazuki hasn’t found out yet. It was Mr. Kuzan who invited me to serve as his aide—just as Rossy has also returned to the Marines. We’ll both stay inside to keep an eye on them for you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine.” Seven nodded. “Finish up in the North Blue and come back to hand over. Make sure Kuzan submits the application to the Ministry of Internal Affairs—I’ll approve it myself.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you, Captain.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Seven intended to remain permanently in the Pirate World, he wouldn’t need to worry about the Marines turning against him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his power, there was no one on this sea who could match him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But recently, the invitation sent by Hammer Girl via the trading platform made Seven realize: he might one day travel to other worlds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he hadn’t yet made up his mind, and still planned to sell pure gold for decades more, waiting until he’d amassed a full set of divine gear before continuing his exploration of the unknown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At least now there was a possibility—and the thought—of leaving. That meant he had to prepare in advance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So the United Kingdom wouldn’t collapse by the second generation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Throughout human history, examples of empires falling by the second generation were far too numerous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all the effort it took to overthrow the World Government and establish the United Kingdom, how could he let others profit from it?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether the Marines, the Army, or the Air Force still being organized—all top commanders must be replaced with his own people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, all this was still far off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, he had to deal with Yimu the Elder, then father a healthy son with Yamato.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, in the North Blue’s Luberiel Province.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The preliminary rounds of the First Martial Arts Tournament’s North Blue venue had just ended, and only now did Vergo take the chance to report to Seven about returning to the Marines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as Vergo hung up the Den Den Mushi, Kuzan came over—again—to ask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Did Saint Seven agree?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since he’d conceived the idea of making Vergo his aide, Kuzan had grown more and more satisfied with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, Vergo had experience managing internal affairs—he’d kept both the Beasts Pirates and Dressrosa running smoothly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Second, Vergo could speak with anyone from the Morning Star Corps, the Marines, the Army, or even the Four Emperors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In short, there was no high-ranking official in the United Kingdom whom Vergo didn’t know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With such connections, not only would Vergo find it easier to handle affairs at the Holy Land, but whenever Kuzan needed something, having Vergo on his side would be far more useful than anything else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was even better suited to be an aide than Enel or Smoker, whom Kuzan had previously favored.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under Kuzan’s expectant gaze, Vergo slowly nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Captain always understands us. Just submit an application to the Ministry of Internal Affairs—you’ll get his personal approval.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Perfect! I’ll submit it right away.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kuzan couldn’t hide his joy, already picturing his peaceful, semi-retired life once Vergo became his aide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among the current Three Admirals, Kizaru had long since defected to Saint Seven.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was the purest of the United Kingdom’s loyalists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Akainu had some past grievances with Saint Seven, but since the founding of the United Kingdom, Akainu and his hawkish Marines had earned countless merits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only the founding fathers surpassed him in achievements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Kuzan’s role in pacifying the South Blue, while significant, paled in comparison to Akainu’s—there was no comparison at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Remember, during the Ohara Massacre, Akainu had ordered the bombardment of refugee ships, fearing that survivors might escape and cause further chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And after the United Kingdom was founded?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Saint Seven’s unwavering resolve and guarantee to uphold justice, Akainu had simply gone berserk, slaughtering every rebel who dared try to exploit the chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kuzan had also considered leaving the Marines once the Four Seas were fully stabilized, but he couldn’t decide what else to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, Aokiji had also considered leaving the Marines once the Four Seas were fully stabilized, but he couldn’t yet decide what to do next.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Retirement?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kuzan was only thirty-three—the youngest of the Three Admirals, still in his prime. He couldn’t even bring himself to mention retirement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s why he’d begun seeking an aide and handling administrative duties—to free up more time and energy to find his own path forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that Vergo was appointed as his aide, Kuzan could finally let go and search for his future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Vergo, when you’re out in public, I’m the Admiral. But inside the office, you’re the Marine Admiral—every military matter is yours to decide.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you have questions, ask Rossy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kuzan knew that Sakazuki intended to groom Rossy as the next Marine Chief of Staff, always bringing his beloved son along during military affairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now Sakazuki was little more than a rubber stamp—the real decisions came from Rossy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Rossy and Vergo were both members of the Morning Star Corps, Saint Seven’s trusted men, so they could easily exchange experience and insights.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr. Kuzan…” Vergo looked miserable. “You can’t just leave everything to me—can’t you at least give me one day off a month?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr. Kuzan…” Virgo pleaded, face drawn. “You can’t just ignore everything—can’t you at least let me have one day off a month?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the two chatted, a dark, stout figure appeared in Kuzan’s line of sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Blackbeard? What’s he doing here?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vergo followed Kuzan’s gaze and saw the dark, bulky Blackbeard standing before the crowd, watching the arena with keen interest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Could he be here to enter the tournament?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kuzan slowly shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Blackbeard is ambitious. A mere martial arts tournament wouldn’t interest him—he must have some hidden motive.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kuzan could never have imagined that Blackbeard had come specifically to challenge him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Earlier, Lafitte’s suggestion had sounded absurd—and indeed was highly impractical—but Blackbeard had ultimately decided to follow it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By challenging a Marine Admiral, he could gain attention—and secure more sponsorship funds from the North Blue Noble Alliance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sponsorship money was simply too tempting to resist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the arena had already decided its winner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The host raised his microphone and shouted:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I declare the champion of the First Martial Arts Tournament’s North Blue venue to be Avaro Pizarro! Let’s cheer for the man from the North Blue!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the front of the crowd, Blackbeard grinned, his eyes sweeping the arena with utter disdain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the front of the crowd, Blackbeard grinned, sneering as he swept his gaze across the arena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s the point of watching kids playing house? Admiral, I formally challenge you—to a true man’s duel.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, the crowd, always eager for drama, erupted into even louder cheers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Accept him! Accept him!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Agree to him, agree to him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1255,"2026-06-20T08:39:44.019Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","ba08230a48723e4265e2885a0d63fb7e770f1ba0fd68d8948e938c64ea4d1a16","pirate-no-one-understands-conqueror-s-haki-like--chapter-431","pirate-no-one-understands-conqueror-s-haki-like--chapter-429",463,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fpirate-no-one-understands-conqueror-s-haki-like--cover.jpg"]
