Upon seeing this, Akainu knew he was about to get scolded again.

as predicted.

A short while later, the Five Elders called.

A dignified naval marshal was scolded like a grandson over the phone.

After all, the current situation is not just about the Navy losing such a huge combat force as Aokiji.

Instead, the pirates have gained another top-tier powerhouse!

This is an unparalleled and enormous blow to their navy, the prestige of the world government, and their very existence!

Akainu's face was ashen, yet he dared not utter a single word of rebuttal.

His ability to become Fleet Admiral was largely due to the support of the World Government, in addition to his own strength.

Or perhaps he received help from the World Government before he was even a Marine Admiral.

Otherwise, even with his considerable strength and extraordinary Devil Fruit ability, he wouldn't have been able to rise so smoothly to the top and even become the Fleet Admiral.

Akainu really didn't dare to say much to the Five Elders.

Furthermore, he had to admit that he was partly responsible for Aokiji's joining the Beasts Pirates.

If he hadn't been so domineering and had been able to communicate properly with Aokiji, his longtime brother and colleague, perhaps this wouldn't have happened!

In the end, all Akainu could do was promise the Five Elders that he would annihilate the Beast Pirates as soon as possible.

After all, the Beast Pirates have now grown into a behemoth capable of truly threatening the Navy and the World Government.

As long as such a behemoth remains standing, the Navy and the World Government will always have it on their minds.

Seeing how obedient and sensible Akainu was, the Five Elders didn't say anything more in the end.

They also knew that Akainu was under a lot of pressure.

Therefore, it's best not to put any more pressure on Akainu now. Otherwise, if Akainu were to shirk his responsibilities, they wouldn't know who to find to be the Fleet Admiral for a while.

Sengoku was clearly disheartened, Aokiji had left, and Kizaru was just slacking off.

Looking at the entire navy, only Akainu is capable of carrying the navy's banner.

Most importantly, the World Government also recognizes Akainu's style of conduct and loyalty.

And so, the call ended with Akainu's assurance.

After hanging up the phone, Akainu's expression did not soften.

Although he had practically made a pledge to the Five Elders, annihilating the Beast Pirates was still an extremely difficult task.

Imagine, even if they had to deal with the Whitebeard Pirates, the Navy would have to deploy most of its forces. Now, to deal with the even stronger Beast Pirates, the difficulty is unimaginable.

Fortunately.

As the Beasts Pirates grew stronger, their navy did not stand still either.

After several months of global recruitment, their naval forces have been rapidly replenished, even exceeding their previous numbers.

Moreover, the positions of various naval officers have been greatly replenished, including even the naval admirals!

Thinking of this, Akainu suddenly picked up the phone and dialed: "Call Fujitora and Green Bull over, I have something to discuss with them."

A moment later, two tall figures appeared in Akainu's office.

One is a blind swordsman, and the other is a curly-haired man.

It was none other than Fujitora and Green Bull.

"You two are here. Please have a seat. I've come to give you your first task."

Mission objective: Annihilate the Beast Pirates!

Upon hearing Akainu's words, Fujitora immediately raised his eyebrows.

Green Bull laughed: "As expected of Marshal Sakazuki, he goes all out right from the start."

The three then discussed this topic.

Chapter 301 The Navy Unleashes its Full Force! A Two-Way Surprise Attack!

The country of peace.

this day.

Suddenly, bulges appeared on the surface of the open sea.

The rumbling sound started small and gradually grew larger.

The seawater then poured down.

In the blink of an eye, the entire outer sea surrounding Wano Country began to surge.

All because of that strange bulging phenomenon, hundreds of them suddenly appeared!

Immediately afterwards, the first bulge completely pushed open the seawater, revealing its true form—a medium-sized warship!

One, two, ten, twenty.

In the blink of an eye, dozens of medium-sized warships broke through the seawater and appeared on the surface of the sea.

Then, an even larger bulge appeared, and amidst the surging seawater, warships larger than medium-sized warships suddenly emerged.

This is a large warship.

There were also twenty or thirty ships.

However, this is not the limit. Some super-large warships have also appeared on the sea one after another.

A refreshing sea breeze blew in, but the atmosphere in this area suddenly became solemn due to the presence of numerous warships.

As can be seen, the medium-sized warships are almost entirely staffed with elite naval personnel.

On the super-large warships were some giant naval forces and their generals.

As for those large warships, the lineup on the lead ship was simply more luxurious than one could imagine.

Akainu, Kizaru, Fujitora, Green Bull...

The Fleet Admiral and the three Admirals, who are considered the highest combat power in the navy, were all present!

Behind them were high-ranking naval officers such as Sengoku, Tsuru, Momousagi, Chaton, Onigumo, and Momonga.

This lineup is far more impressive than that of the previous Marineford War.

So what is Akainu planning to do with such a powerful lineup?

Very simple.

It means attacking Wano Country.

To be more precise, it was to annihilate the Beast Pirates!

As mentioned before, the Beasts Pirates have grown to the point where the World Government feels like it has a thorn in its side and cannot wait until they are eliminated.

And so.

After the World Military Draft, Akainu, as the Fleet Admiral of the Navy, made a decisive decision and discussed with Fujitora and Green Bull a plan to annihilate the Beasts Pirates.

In fact, there's no need to think about any plans.

Given the current size of the Beast Pirates, they absolutely cannot defeat them unless the entire crew comes out.

Therefore, the only thing they needed to consider was how to secretly gather people together and then launch a covert attack on the territory of the Beast Pirates.

The plan was a success.

They spent a month secretly gathering people, and then used bubble wrap to cross the sea and directly enter the outer sea of ​​Wano Country.

In fact, they got their inspiration for this move from Whitebeard.

Whitebeard's surprise attack on Marineford using bubble wrap was clearly effective.

And now, they are imitating it, and it seems to be working very well.

At least for now, Wano Country has remained silent.

"Smile, it's up to you now."

Akainu then turned to Fujitora and spoke.

Arriving at the open sea and wanting to enter Wano Country is not so simple.

We also need to cross a cliffside waterfall.

However, with Fujitora around, they naturally didn't need to go to so much trouble.

"Okay, pass the order to everyone to sit tight."

Fujitora nodded and stepped forward from the crowd.

Akainu immediately did as instructed, relaying Fujitora's words to everyone via Den Den Mushi.

After a moment, having confirmed that everything was correct, Fujitora drew the sword from his staff.

hum...

In that instant, a wave of gravity surged outwards from Fujitora's center.

In the blink of an eye, the large warship where Fujitora was located was enveloped.

Akainu and the others all felt their bodies sink.

But that's not all; the gravitational field continues to expand.

One thousand meters, ten thousand meters, or even the entire region.

At that moment, everyone felt the force of gravity wash over them.

Fortunately, Akainu had given a warning beforehand; otherwise, many Marines would be kneeling down by now.

But gravity comes and goes quickly.

In the blink of an eye, everyone felt their bodies lighten, but the next second they started swaying again.

It turns out that after gravity spread to everyone around them, it sank directly and attached itself to the warship.
