Akainu's personality is extremely fiery.
This Navy Admiral never backs down from any problem, not even hanging up the Radio Snail when faced with Marshal Sengoku's scolding, standing coldly by listening.
Until Sengoku finally grew tired of scolding and commanded them to escort Hundred Beasts Kaido and Charlotte Lingling back to Marine Headquarters Marineford.
"We'll settle the score when you return!"
Marshal Sengoku, furious with Akainu, then turned the topic, taking the blame for Akihara Kagura's assault on Saint Figarland Garling: "I will explain this matter to the Five Elders. Do not let others think it was your instigation. It's problematic enough that a respected Admiral of Navy Headquarters is said to have ordered subordinates to attack the Celestial Dragons!"
Clearly.
The atmosphere within the Navy is reasonable.
Akainu as an Admiral of the Navy Headquarters took the fall for Vice Admiral Akihara Kagura's troubles, and Marshal Sengoku also took the blame for Akainu.
After all…
Akainu speaks too bluntly!
Sengoku was somewhat worried about the potential conflict between Akainu and the Five Elders, which could lead to a complete split between the Navy and the World Government, so he had to clean up after his subordinates.
Mary Geoise.
Sengoku had no choice but to personally come here.
However, this Navy Marshal had no intention of apologizing to Saint Figarland Garling, instead openly explaining the situation to Saint Saturn and Saint Nusjuro, even pricking this group of Celestial Dragons' pride.
"Saint Saturn."
"Saint Nusjuro."
"I am fully aware of the situation."
"The fault does not lie with Akainu, nor with Akihara Kagura."
Sengoku stood in the office of Pangu City, stating in a serious tone: "This is because I and the senior officers have always emphasized that their primary task is to strive to maintain the stability of the World Government's member countries and not to waste our precious military strength on protecting the minor interests of the World Nobles. Because of me, they have shown a lack of respect to the World Nobles…"
"Protecting the World Nobles is a minor issue?"
Saint Saturn lifted his gaze, squinting at Sengoku.
"Ever since Clown Buggy assassinated the Celestial Dragons, the entire sea has lost its reverence for the World Nobles, even some members of the CP Department are defecting…"
Sengoku looked back at Saint Saturn coldly, speaking with poise: "Every day, Pirates are assassinating World Nobles across the sea, and the Navy's forces can no longer protect every single World Noble. Isn't that why Mary Geoise has been recalling all the World Nobles out on tour back to Mary Geoise?"
This matter…
Is something everyone is well aware of.
However, for the dignity of the Celestial Dragons, such issues are better left unsaid and dealt with quietly in private. Rarely does anyone directly bring these problems up to the Celestial Dragons.
These days, who doesn't know the Navy can no longer protect the Celestial Dragons?
Let alone the Navy...
Even the Five Elders and the Divine Knight Order cannot protect Holy Land Mary Geoise!
But…
To say such things openly…
How can that be allowed!
"Sengoku!"
Saint Saturn's voice grew heavy, reprimanding coldly: "You must understand one thing, the purpose of forming the Navy by the World Government is to protect the World Nobles' safety!"
Such words…
Are also not to be spoken to the public.
Even though all the senior officers of the Navy know the support from the World Government was prioritized to protect the Celestial Dragons, to attract more people to join the Navy, the senior officers advocate justice of the seas; most Navy Soldiers care more about eliminating Pirates and maintaining peace rather than cleaning up after the Celestial Dragons.
This is the Navy's reputation.
Of course.
The Celestial Dragons hold no such qualms.
Because the Celestial Dragons never cared about the Navy's reputation.
When Saint Saturn said these words, he still regarded the Navy as subordinates to be used and discarded at will, with a face full of disdain and anger.
"Yet the Navy has failed in this regard!"
"Not only have your subordinates failed to protect the World Nobles, but some even dared to attack the World Nobles, and to assault Commander Figarland Garling of the Divine Knight Order. This is an affront to the divine; it's all because you as a Navy Marshal have poorly managed the military!"
"Were it not for the fact the Navy, despite no accomplishments, has endured hardships over the years, and due to Saint Nusjuro's intercession on your behalf, we would have already decided to order the World Government to dissolve the Navy Department by now!"
This is pure nonsense…
In the past, if the World Government wanted to dissolve the Navy, it would greatly undermine their power; at this point, if the World Government really dissolved the Navy Department, it's practically self-destructive…
"Sengoku…"
Saint Nusjuro gripped his long sword and quickly spoke: "Do not blame us for being angry about this matter, its effects are extremely detrimental…"
"..."
Sengoku the Buddha nodded, his gaze fixed on Saint Saturn without regard for the cold glare, suddenly saying: "I understand, the conflict between the Navy and Saint Figarland Garling is due to my poor communication of orders, causing a misunderstanding among my subordinates. Therefore, I am willing to take full responsibility for this matter and resign as Navy Marshal…"
"!!!"
Saint Saturn's and Saint Nusjuro's faces turned to shock.
No… wait…
How did it come to this!
