Chapter 1830 The Importance of the Calm Belt (2)
He really didn't want to change what was happening because he was afraid that he would not be able to adapt to the new changes.
"Forget it, let future generations deal with these matters. Anyway, I won't be able to sit on the position of marshal for much longer."
Sengoku sighed helplessly and slowly closed the report of Aokiji and Akainu.
It has been nearly half a year since Aokiji and Akainu went on the expedition, and this long war has finally come to an end.
They were in the South China Sea, the last island occupied by the revolutionary army.
With the fierce bombardment of the navy's artillery, the island was finally captured.
The flag of the World Government once again flew over the island, proclaiming the victory of the navy.
Aokiji and Akainu stood side by side, silently gazing at the kingdom ravaged by war.
Everywhere you look, there is devastation. Ruins and broken walls can be seen everywhere, and no building has escaped destruction.
The ground was littered with body parts and broken limbs, and the blood dyed the land red, creating a shocking scene.
Akainu slowly took a step forward. However, at this moment, Aokiji's voice suddenly sounded behind him: "Sakaski, do you think this is right?"
Aokiji's voice was calm and low, but it contained a hint of doubt that could not be concealed.
Akainu's footsteps suddenly stopped, he didn't turn around because he knew that Aokiji's eyes were on his back.
From an angle that Aokiji couldn't see, Akainu's expression was slightly struggling.
A hint of pity appeared on that usually resolute face.
But he quickly suppressed this emotion because he was well aware of his responsibilities.
"I'm just following orders. They're rebelling, and I'm suppressing them!"
Akainu's voice was cold, without the slightest hesitation.
After saying this, he continued to walk forward, as if he wanted to completely put his inner struggle behind him.
However, behind the cloak of justice, Akainu's fists were clenched tightly, as if he was suppressing some emotion. His body was trembling slightly, as if he was going through a fierce struggle in his heart.
After hearing what Akainu said, Aokiji showed a mocking smile on his face.
He slowly raised his head and looked at the sky in confusion.
The dim sky seemed to be stained with a layer of blood, revealing a strange and depressing atmosphere.
For the past six months, Aokiji's life has been completely filled with killing.
He was either on his way to a massacre or in the midst of a bloody massacre.
This time, the operation was extremely easy for him and he encountered almost no obstacles.
The navy did not encounter any powerful enemies, or rather, those so-called strong men who appeared were simply vulnerable in front of Aokiji and Akainu, and were not even a match for them.
This huge gap in strength made the navy's operations extremely smooth.
They were either on their way to kill or were brutally slaughtering their enemies.
Aokiji could no longer remember how many fearless and courageous revolutionary soldiers he had slaughtered.
These rebels were just trying to protect their homes, but they were powerless against Aokiji.
Every time he swung his sword and every time he killed, Aokiji felt his hands were stained red with blood.
He began to doubt whether the justice he upheld was really correct.
Facing those innocent lives, Aokiji felt like a cold-blooded executioner with his hands stained with sinful blood.
As time went by, the sense of justice in Aokiji's heart was gradually worn away and became increasingly empty.
He seemed to have lost all faith and felt lost and confused about his own behavior.
Aokiji looked up at the sky in confusion, as if the whole world had nothing to do with him.
There was a whistling sound of wind in my ears, and the sound was like the roar of a devil, which made me shudder.
At the same time, the sound of burning flames was endless. The sound was like the messenger of hell laughing wildly, announcing the coming of death.
On the other side of the sea of fire, Akainu was walking in the flames.
His figure was surrounded by raging flames, but he remained unmoved.
He stared at the raging fire around him, feeling an inexplicable excitement in his heart.
"Burn it, burn it!"
Akainu muttered silently in his heart.
"Let this fire burn away all the evil! Let this evil be reduced to ashes in the flames! Only in this way can we pave the way for the birth of new life and bring true justice to this world!"
Akainu's gaze became sharper and sharper, his faith was as indestructible as steel.
Unlike Aokiji's confusion, Akainu has a clear understanding of his goals and mission.
He knew that everything he did was to achieve that great goal - to bring peace and justice back to the world.
As the city was breached, Akainu led the navy to continue clearing out the remaining enemies.
They ruthlessly eradicated the resistance forces, bringing this final battle to a successful conclusion.
On the sea in the distance, a huge ship was docked quietly.
Standing on the bow of the ship are a group of mysterious people wearing black suits and masks on their faces - the CP organization.
They watched all this silently, like a group of cold-blooded bystanders.
"Mission accomplished, all lost territory recovered, now we can report to the Five Elders!"
The lion-masked man in the lead said calmly.
"Yes!"
The men beside him responded in unison.
The Red Earth Continent, Mary Geoise, Pangu City, this mysterious and solemn place is where the Five Elder Stars gather at this moment.
They sat around a huge round table in a solemn atmosphere.
"The rebellion in the South China Sea has finally been put down,"
Saint Satan broke the silence.
"Now it's time to discuss the selection of the next Admiral of the Navy."
Nasu Shoulangsheng slammed the documents in his hand onto the table and roared angrily, "Is this even worth discussing? If it weren't for the fact that Aokiji was a Navy Admiral, I would have put him on the wanted list long ago for what he did during this mission! He's such a traitor! How dare he let these lowly people escape without permission!"
After hearing this, the faces of the other Five Elders also turned gloomy.
Maz Sheng echoed, "This Aokiji is becoming more and more outrageous. Fortunately, we didn't listen to Zhan Guo in the beginning, otherwise, who knows what would become of the navy!"
They recalled what happened before. The Five Elders originally wanted to support Akainu to become the Navy Admiral because they were impressed by his obedience and submission.
In comparison, Aokiji's past deeds are full of bad deeds. He does things in an unclean and tidy manner, and always allows some key figures to escape the law.
This kind of person not only has his own independent way of thinking, but also completely disregards the orders of the World Government. Naturally, the Five Elders would not like such a person.
The Five Elders did not completely deny Aokiji any chance.
