Chapter 655 Marshal Akainu
Chapter 655 Marshal Akainu
The Battle of Marineford was brought forward, and the competition for the position of Marshal was also brought forward.
Kuzan and Sakaski chose Punk Hazard for their final battle. Although it had been destroyed once by the people of the Kingdom of Adrian, the island itself was not destroyed.
The Navy and the World Government did not send anyone to follow, and the outside newspapers were not aware of it. Only Kuzan and Sakaski were on the island.
Sakaski arrived earlier than Kuzan. Kuzan was unwilling to give up the position of marshal, and so was he.
His hatred for pirates comes from the heart, which is inseparable from his childhood.
He was very dissatisfied with Sengoku, very dissatisfied with Garp, very dissatisfied with Kuzan and Borsalino, or rather, he was not very satisfied with the entire navy.
In his opinion, the navy should implement absolute justice and does not need mercy. Sometimes, sacrificing some ordinary people is inevitable for the sake of results.
He wanted to eliminate other voices within the navy and completely end this era of great pirates.
He is determined to get the position of marshal.
The sun was high in the sky and it was soon noon.
Sakaski, who was leaning against a big tree with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes.
Opposite him, Kuzan, dressed in military uniform and a cloak of justice, walked over.
Sakaski knew that Kuzan actually had several layers of bandages wrapped around his uniform.
Thor's shot went completely through his chest without holding back, and even his internal organs were attacked by the electric current.
Such an injury cannot be recovered in a day or two. Although Kuzan has recovered for many days, he can only exert 70% to 80% of his strength at most.
Of course, if Sakaski focused on attacking wounds, Kuzan would be able to exert even less strength.
"You're here," Sakaski said calmly.
With his hands in his pockets, he stood in front of Sakaski with a natural look on his face. "Of course, I can't give up the position of marshal."
The tones of both of them were very calm, as if they were old friends chatting.
Such a chat had not happened for a long time. Kuzan thought about it and realized that he and Sakaski had a big gap after the O'Hara incident.
Although both of them were on paths towards the navy, they were going in completely opposite directions.
Sakaski said with a serious expression: "Your injuries haven't healed yet, you can't be my opponent."
Kuzan said nonchalantly, "That's not necessarily true. We'll only know after a competition."
Sakaski took a deep breath and said, "Even though you're injured, I won't let you go. I'm determined to get the position of marshal."
"Come on, I won't give up the position of Marshal."
"Okay, then let's speak with strength."
The atmosphere was tense and reached its peak. As Sakaski's last words fell, two forces erupted.
A burst of icy energy burst out from Kuzan's body, and frost flew around, freezing his entire body into an ice field.
Sakaski's body erupted with extremely high temperature, and his body gradually turned into magma. The ground was twisted into red by the high temperature.
The island seemed to be divided into two worlds with the two people as the center, one was cold ice, and the other was hot magma.
Suddenly, the two moved at the same time, and a battle of ice and fire began.
........................
Five days later.
The battle was over, and Punk Hazard was completely turned into a deserted island.
Half of the island is an endless ice field, and the other half is a lava island burning with blazing flames.
In the center of the island, Kuzan was lying on the ground in a big shape. His shirt had been destroyed in the battle and the bandages had been burned off, revealing a horrific penetrating wound.
This is not the most shocking thing. The most shocking thing is that there is a blank space in his left leg. Obviously, his left leg was broken by Sakaski during the battle.
At this moment, his eyes were confused as he looked at the vast blue sky, not knowing where his future would lead him.
Sakaski dragged his wounded body to Kuzan. Although he was also injured a lot, he was obviously much better than Kuzan.
The battle that was supposed to take ten days and ten nights was ended in just five days, which was closely related to Kuzan's injury.
Sakaski knew Kuzan was unconvinced, but so what? He couldn't possibly give up the Marshal's position, nor could he fight a fair and square battle later to regain the position.
"I won," Sakaski said calmly.
Kuzan didn't answer, staring blankly at the blue sky.
Sakaski waited for a while, and seeing that Kuzan didn't say anything, he said nothing more and walked away.
This earth-shaking battle for the Marshal position ended with Sakaski's victory, and the World Government quickly reported the news.
The next day, all the major newspapers began to report on this incident. Although the prestige of the navy was getting lower and lower, its fame had not changed much.
One of the reasons why the World Government reported the news so quickly was to stabilize the people's anxiety after Sengoku's abdication, and the other reason was to warn Kuzan.
We know you want to be the marshal, but if you offend our world government, you will never be able to become the marshal.
The World Government chose to broadcast the Marshal's handover ceremony live, which quickly attracted the attention of the world.
Live streaming is the most commonly used promotional method in the Kingdom of Adrian. In recent years, it has become a very popular promotional method, used by both the navy and pirates.
Almost all the high-ranking officers of the navy attended the handover ceremony between the old and new marshals, with the exception of Kuzan.
Although Garp was not satisfied with the result, he still came to participate. There can be discord within the navy, but it cannot be known to everyone.
Of course, this is the navy's idea. For the Kingdom of Adrian, the greater the conflicts within the navy, the better.
That afternoon, the newspapers under the Adrian Kingdom and the World News Agency began to make their efforts.
Unfair victory: A huge dark secret is revealed in the Marshal's battle!
Cruel, cold-blooded, can such a person really be qualified to be the Admiral of the Navy?
"Attack on the Refugee Ship! The Unknown Past of the New Navy Admiral Sakaski!"
《………………》
Not long after Sakaski became the Admiral of the Navy, his position began to become shaky. Not only was there an uproar in the outside world, but there were also many voices of opposition within the Navy.
There is no way, Sakaski's victory was indeed unfair. If it was an equal battle, no one would say anything, but the key is that Kuzan participated in the battle with an injury, which is obviously unfair.
The doves within the navy are the second largest faction, so they naturally cannot watch the hawks gain power. Naturally, some people began to oppose Sakaski's promotion.
Many people are looking forward to an equal battle between Sakaski and Kuzan.
But at this moment, Kuzan, one of the protagonists of the incident, disappeared in the hospital of the Naval Headquarters.
