One Piece: God Killer

Chapter 494 Kuzan and Sakaski

Wano Country, seaside.

The sea water hits the rocks, splashing snow-white waves.

The tall man sat alone on the shore, looking at the sea in the distance.

The blue sky, white clouds, blue sea, and light sails, everything looks so beautiful.

But behind this beauty, there seems to be a crisis.

Thick dark clouds are about to descend on the sky, the fishing boats in the distance have not yet returned to the port, the petrels flying over the sea are still fighting the wind and waves, and the storm that is covering the entire country is about to hit.

The tall man showed no fear at all. He just sat there quietly, with the Den Den Mushi beside him. It was his only and most loyal companion at this moment.

Really faithful?

Maybe,

Den Den Mushi always transmits the voice of the person it is talking to without any embellishment, even if the other party is thousands of miles away.

Maybe not.

After all, Den Den Mushi cannot understand its owner's mood, nor can it make any modifications to the sound.

"Are you convincing me to go along with the 'pirates'?" Den Den Mushi's eyebrows were raised, perfectly replicating its master's expression.

Indeed, for the Admiral of the Navy Headquarters, "Akainu" Sakaski, even just saying the words "cooperate with pirates" is a huge insult to his justice.

"Don't confuse me with someone like you who betrays 'justice', Kuzan!"

"Getting rid of the identity of 'Admiral of the Navy' has allowed me to see many things clearly..." Kuzan's eyes were still looking into the distance, but with a little more determination and less confusion, "Profek and Dawn are different from those pirates who only know how to burn, kill and plunder..."

"That's enough!" Sakaski interrupted Kuzan, "Pirates are pirates!"

The atmosphere seemed to freeze in an instant. Kuzan seemed to be able to see Sakaski roaring loudly, the determined, stubborn, even obstinate and paranoid "old" navy...

After a long silence, Kuzan finally spoke again: "The World Government has never been what we imagined in the past. Think about your justice again, brother."

On the other side of the phone, Sakaski stood in front of the marshal's desk. He was still wearing a red suit jacket and a spotless white navy cape. On the wall behind him was a framed calligraphy written by him.

Four simple, clear, strong and powerful words - "absolute justice".

It is said that handwriting reflects the character of the writer. Sakaski's calligraphy is just like his personality, vigorous and powerful, upright and unyielding, strong enough to penetrate deep into the wood and through the paper, but it lacks some changes, and looks a bit dull and rigid, lacking in spirit.

This is exactly what Sakaski's life was like.

In the Marine training camp, he wasn't the most talented one - at least, not as talented as Borsalino, and to some extent, not as talented as Kuzan and Long.

But he is the most hardworking one. He gets up early and goes to bed late every day. He can always be seen on the training ground. He has never slacked off in either training or studying academic subjects.

Because of this, among all the students, he was the first to stand on his own, the first to become a major general, and the first to be promoted to lieutenant general.

The increase in military rank did not change Sakaski.

Every time there is a mission, he always rushes to the front line. In order to fulfill his childhood dream of "a world without thieves", Sakaski uses all means.

In the New World, he fought with the pirates time and time again.

At O'Hara, he eradicated the problem completely and left no future trouble.

Some people like his boldness, ruthlessness and decisiveness, while others are disgusted by his ruthlessness and cruelty. But no matter what, everyone admits that he has made great military achievements over the years.

Finally, his name was associated with the general and even the marshal.

Finally, he also became one of the "legends" of the Navy.

Everyone envied his achievements and strength.

There are even quite a few navy officers who are working towards his goal.

Many people say that Sakaski is a genius, a hero and the future of the navy. Almost the same or even more people say that Sakaski is a madman and sooner or later he will lead the navy into an abyss of no return.

But he doesn't care.

Only he himself knows that what has supported him to this point is not the glory of his military exploits, not the rewards of promotion and salary increase, not the position of Navy Admiral, and not the "favor" of the World Government.

But it is because of the indestructible justice in his heart.

He firmly believed that pirates were the root cause of the unrest in this ocean. He firmly believed that as long as these parasites on the ocean were completely eliminated, the world would be able to return to peace and order.

He worked hard for one year, two years, ten years, and twenty years, from a naval recruit to a naval marshal.

His strength grew and his burdens became heavier, but he never backed down.

He had wavered, hesitated, and hesitated.

He clearly remembered that it was the first time he went to Mary Geoise to carry out a mission.

The "holy land" where the world's nobles hide

After returning to the headquarters from Marijoa, Sakaski took a three-day vacation for the first time. He locked himself in the room and did not see anyone.

For three days, he pounded the seastone wall of the training room with his iron fists like a madman. He questioned himself over and over again.

World Government,

Celestial Dragons,

navy,

justice……

Where should he go and where should he return?

Where should justice go and where will it return?

When he walked out of the room, people who had expected to see a depressed Sakaski were surprised to find that Sakaski was more silent, more determined, and more dedicated to "justice" than before.

The world government is corrupt and incompetent, so change it!

The Five Elders are slow and mediocre, so go and urge them on!

The Celestial Dragons are arrogant and domineering, so we need to use the system to restrain them!

If the navy is weak and gives in, then justice will be more resolute!

The pirates are lawless, so kill them all!

The premise of all this is that

That was the first time that Sakaski looked at the position representing "Admiral of the Navy" with ardent eyes. He firmly believed that as long as one day he could personally command the most powerful armed force in the world, and as long as the entire navy implemented "absolute justice" without compromise, then all evil in the world would be eradicated.

With this belief, he has come to where he is today.

Just when he wanted to make a big splash in the position of Admiral of the Navy, reality gave him a "blow on the head".

He has always known that the position of marshal is not easy to obtain, and he will not back down because of this.

But the situation on the World Government side was beyond his expectations.

The destruction of the Kingdom of Lulucia, the Revolutionary Army's declaration of war on the Celestial Dragons, Dawn's experiments with super weapons, the great scientist Vegapunk's shocking broadcast about the "truth of the world", the death of King Cobra... and most importantly, the emergence of the "King of the Celestial Dragons"!

Although there are high-ranking "world aristocrats", in name, and even to a certain extent in reality, the system of world government is "democratic".

The "Five Elders" elected from the Celestial Dragons hold the highest power in the World Government and are responsible for the specific implementation of policies and the areas directly under the World Government. The kings of the fifty member states democratically vote through the World Conference to decide on major policies related to the world in the next five years.

At the World Conference, kings of all countries are equal and can speak freely. In theory, even the Five Elders and the world's nobles must abide by the results of the World Conference.

Although the World Conference has not passed any resolution that would truly endanger the privileges of the Celestial Dragons in the past eight hundred years, the existence of the World Conference system has allowed Sakaski to see opportunities and hope to influence, change, and control the policies of the World Government, to limit, and even ultimately abolish the privileges of the Celestial Dragons.

He believed that the fifty kings were not fools, and the five elder stars were not fools. One day, they would make a decision that would benefit the world.

And he will use the navy, a force that cannot be ignored, to speed up this process, and ultimately let "complete justice" reign over the entire ocean!

The appearance of the King of the Celestial Dragons made Sakaski feel very angry.

If there really is someone sitting on the throne in this world who controls everything, then what is the use of a world government?

What is the use of the Five Elder Stars?

What is the use of a world conference?

What's the use of the navy?

So many years of persistence, so many years of struggle, and the justice behind it, in the end, all were played around in the palm of one person!

If that was the case, why should he, Sakaski, and the entire navy obey a dictatorial world government?

Sakaski only felt that the magma in his body was almost uncontrollably erupting.

"I will go to Mary Geoise in person and ask the Five Elders for an explanation!"

Sakaski said sternly, "As for you, keep a close eye on that kid Profek... and eliminate him when necessary!"

A pirate is always just a "thief" no matter what. Sakaski will never stoop to the level of being in cahoots with a pirate.

Even if that pirate is Proficient.

Even so, he quite agrees with Proficient's concept of "justice".

Even though he had once given an answer to Profik's question.

"Does 'God' also fall within the scope of enforcing justice?"

Sakaski clearly remembers that three years ago, the New Year's gift that belonged to him contained a note with these words written on it.

"Someday, but it won't be by you."

He silently repeated the answer he had given at that time.

Be it pirates, the revolutionary army, or those shitty Seven Warlords of the Sea, how can it be your turn to preside over justice?

Sakaski straightened his collar, adjusted the brim of his hat, smoothed out the wrinkles on his cloak, pinned a blood-red rose on his chest, and strode out of the marshal's office.

Outside the door, Borsalino stood there.

"Sakaski... I have completed what you asked me to do."

"I understand." Sakaski nodded. "Tomorrow, I will go to Marijoa. If I don't come back, you will be the admiral of the navy!"

"This is truly horrible..."
