Even what Akainu did was not wrong. The order to eliminate Gawain here was not given to Akainu by the five of them in time, and he was also executing the Buster Call according to the plan.
However, the key is that Gawain's current threat has reached a point that cannot be ignored. If left unchecked, it wouldn't be long before another Rocks D. Xebec emerged!
Even Gawain's ability to survive is better than that of Rocks in the past!
At this thought, St. Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro laughed on the spot: "Then should I give him an award?!"
"If you want to, of course you can."
There was silence all around.
Aokiji, who was standing behind Akainu, turned red. He didn't expect that Akainu could say such a thing, and the key point was that it seemed like Akainu was actually serious.
Aokiji secretly gave Akainu a thumbs up.
He looked around and was about to quietly retreat behind everyone, but as expected, he was called by the angry St. Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro: "Kuzan, what about you? You appeared here without our order. This matter..."
Akainu glanced at Aokiji, who was hiding behind him, and explained: "This is the plan I agreed with Kuzan in advance. He will sneak into Water 7 to confirm whether the Pluton blueprint exists."
"After all, Borsalino stopped the Beast Pirate that was making trouble in the New World. The top combat power within the Marines can't spare any other manpower except Kuzan."
"Heh."
St. Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro smiled contemptuously and slowly unsheathed the sword at his waist.
He, of course, knew about the CP0 action here, and it was definitely not as simple as Akainu said, but he also knew that he couldn't push the two admirals to rebel at this time.
After all, to them, CP0 was just a group of house servants, while the value of Akainu and Aokiji, as well as the risk of them betraying them, was undoubtedly much greater.
Thus, regarding CP0, they had no choice but to turn a blind eye.
But when Gawain was mentioned, St. Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro's heart could not hold it back on the spot. He had been holding back a lot of anger, and now he had to vent it.
But in the next moment.
St. Jaygarcia Saturn, who had been silent all the time, reached out and held down St. Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro, who was ready to move.
St. Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro frowned and barely suppressed his anger: "What do you mean?!"
"I think it's not a bad thing to let White Knight Gawain go."
"Ridiculous!"
St. Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro sneered: "How threatening that guy is, you have seen it yourself, the strength to defeat Golden Lion head-on, and the kind of vitality that is almost unkillable-"
"Even if we take action, can we keep him here 100%?!"
"This..."
Faced with St. Jaygarcia Saturn's question, St. Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro opened his mouth and was speechless for a while.
No matter how reluctant he was, he had to admit that with the power Gawain currently displayed, plus the almost red dragon fruit, the combination of the two had created a complete monster.
Even if the Five Elders take action together, it is probably difficult to keep him.
Seeing that St. Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro had calmed down, St. Jaygarcia Saturn couldn't help but show a calm demeanor: "It might be a good thing for him to leave now."
"First of all, he is still one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and nominally stands on the side of the World Government."
When mentioning the Seven Warlords of the Sea, St. Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro's tone was a bit disdainful: "How many pirates who joined the Seven Warlords of the Sea don't have wolfish ambitions?!"
"Even this time in the Water 7 incident, the reason why we didn't summon the Seven Warlords of the Sea was because we were worried that their support was fake and they came to the Water 7 to share a piece of the pie!"
St. Jaygarcia Saturn nodded and continued: "You are right."
"But even if we take action, we can't stop him. Once we completely break up with that guy, have you thought about the consequences?!"
"For the red dragon fruit user, the Earth's Vitality can not only be used to repair itself, but also compressed and condensed into liquid. The power of the instantaneous explosion can even easily destroy a city!"
"You should know how troublesome it is to have an uncontrolled enemy who can easily destroy strategic locations."
St. Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro took a deep breath, and the anger in his heart gradually subsided.
He thought about it for a while and realized that what St. Jaygarcia Saturn said was right.
St. Jaygarcia Saturn continued: "At least it is stable now, and he has not shown any intention of being hostile to the World Government for the time being."
"Besides, there are still our people on that guy's ship. In other words, all his future actions are under our surveillance."
"Compared to completely intensifying the conflict, now is the best outcome."
"Even if it is handled properly, it may make that guy stand on our side completely."
"With a person who has a certain degree of immortality and the power of an emperor on our side, both the Marines and the World Government will face much less pressure."
"Besides, after dozens or hundreds of years, White Knight Gawain is just a decaying skeleton. The world is under our control after all!"
As his voice fell, the other gorosei nodded, clearly moved by St. Jaygarcia Saturn's words.
In their opinion, this is the best result in a situation where Gawain cannot be completely wiped out.
Compared with immortals like them, the lifespan of ordinary people of seventy or eighty years is too short.
Even if they reach the peak in a limited time, no one can stop them, and at most, they will be glorious for a few decades, just like Rocks D. Xebec and Roger back then.
Were they strong?
Of course, they are strong, and they have a spirit that ordinary people cannot match.
But their time is limited after all, and this world is too big, so big that it is difficult to shake the rule of the World Government in their limited lives.
Racing against time, the winner must be themselves, and the five of them have always had such confidence in their hearts.
As St. Jaygarcia Saturn narrated, everyone's face gradually eased.
"We want a complete report on the events of Water 7."
"Every detail is included!"
"Understood."
Akainu responded and saw the dark pentagram reappear in front of him, and the figures of the five people turned into black smoke and disappeared on the spot in an instant.
Aokiji raised his head and looked at the place where the few people disappeared, with an indescribable solemnity in his eyes: "Are these five people the real masters of this world? This sense of oppression even makes me shudder."
Akainu also looked solemn: "It is said that since the establishment of the World Government, these five people have dominated this world, and they are still the same now."
Aokiji's pupils shrank: "The World Government has been established for more than 800 years, doesn't this mean..."
"Hmm."
Akainu nodded: "They have lived for at least 800 years."
"In a sense, they really have the characteristics of god, long life, powerful strength, absolute authority..."
"When these things are combined, people and god, the boundaries will gradually blur."
"So..."
"Neither your plan nor Zephyr's plan will succeed."
Aokiji raised his lips slightly, and returned to his lazy posture: "But some things have to be tried before you know, after all, hasn't the World Government been established for only 800 years?"
"What kind of scenery will that huge kingdom submerged in history be..."
"Humph."
Akainu shook his head: "I know you can't be persuaded."
"Forget it."
"Come with me to see him."
"I don't want to argue with you anymore, just do whatever you want."
Aokiji was stunned; his expression gradually became solemn, and he followed Akainu into the cabin.
