The Chapter get Retranslated
"Vice Admiral Garp, I know you are a hero of the Marines, having achieved splendid military exploits throughout your life. I personally admire you very much." Akainu stood up, his eyes fixed on Garp, and said in a deep voice, "If we retreat because the enemy is strong, then I don't think anyone will continue to join the Marines in the future."
His voice was resonant and compelling, carrying an irrefutable determination.
Garp gazed at Akainu, his expression changing. In truth, he also wanted to send troops, but he also knew very well that if he did, they would face the danger of total annihilation.
Fighting Emperor Descend, numbers were completely useless. Only high-end combat power suppression could have a lasting effect.
However, among their Admiral-level figures, there were only Zephyr and the current three Admirals. Those who could firmly suppress Admirals were only Sengoku and himself.
But on Emperor Descend's side, although the numbers were small, their weakest combat power was still at the peak Admiral level, and Zephyr had already been severely wounded.
Among them were also Ulquiorra and Osiris, whose strength was unknown. How could they fight?
Even if all of them went, the chances of victory were extremely low, and even if they won, it would be a Pyrrhic victory. By then, the Marines would have no one, and if the Four Emperors attacked, the Marines would have no hope.
Considering this, Garp did not advocate sending troops.
Because it was not worth it.
Behind them stood countless civilians and Marine soldiers, as well as the future of the Marines.
"Alright, Sakazuki, sit down. I agree with what Garp said, we won't send troops this time."
Sengoku sighed slightly. He hadn't expected this incident to cause a rift between the old and new generations. If handled improperly, it could lead to significant conflict between them, which Sengoku did not want to see.
The external problems were not yet resolved, but internal chaos had already begun.
"Why, Fleet Admiral Sengoku?" Akainu stared intently at Sengoku, biting out each word. At this moment, he was extremely puzzled as to why they should fear Emperor Descend, just because of their strength.
Indeed, Emperor Descend was very strong, but not so strong that they had no chance of winning. At the Holy Land battle, he had also seen that the Five Elders were constrained by Emperor Descend entirely because of the 'heaven and human destruction' beneath the Holy Land.
Once their battle erupted, the annihilation of the World Nobles was not impossible.
At their level, destroying an island was still very easy.
Let alone so many Four Emperors and Admiral-level figures.
But for Akainu, retreating because the enemy was strong was not something he could accept.
Seeing Akainu's stubborn face, Sengoku had a headache. Akainu's strength was indeed good, but he was too rigid and disregarded the consequences.
"Akainu, have you considered the cost of sending troops this time?" Sengoku took a deep breath and said to Akainu in a solemn tone.
"As long as one becomes a Marine, they must face the consequence of death at any time. Any price is acceptable if it can destroy Emperor Descend," Akainu thought for a moment, then answered Sengoku calmly.
At this moment, Aokiji, who had been silent, spoke up, "Foolish."
"Aokiji, say that again."
"I said you're foolish, what's wrong with that?" Aokiji's lazy expression vanished, and he spoke to Akainu with a serious look.
"To insist on going when you know it means death, that's suicide," Aokiji paused, "Sakazuki, we don't have the right to decide others' lives or deaths."
"As long as they uphold justice, they are heroes of the Marines. What does it matter if they die?" Akainu said indifferently.
"I agree with Aokiji's statement. I do not agree with yours, Sakazuki. We all grew up from being soldiers; there's no need to insist on going to certain death when we know it." At this moment, Kizaru also broke his silence and suddenly stood up to support Aokiji and refute Akainu.
Aokiji's expression flashed with a hint of surprise. He hadn't expected Kizaru to stand up and support him; it was quite unexpected.
One must know that this guy had always been indifferent, appearing neutral.
"Agreed."
"Agreed."
Seeing that both Kizaru and Aokiji opposed sending troops, the older generation of Tsuru and Zephyr also stood up immediately.
Suddenly, Akainu had no one supporting him; he was left alone.
They were not afraid of Emperor Descend, but rather, given their current situation, fighting Emperor Descend would not benefit them.
Moreover, Emperor Descend was different from the Four Emperors; he had no major forces under him, only three people and one dragon.
So they had no major qualms.
If they sent troops and annihilated Emperor Descend, that would be one thing, but if they failed, in a sense, they would offend a force even more terrifying than the Four Emperors.
After all, the Four Emperors had many forces and would still exercise some restraint, but Emperor Descend would not have such considerations.
An endless war with Emperor Descend would be a huge blow to the Marines.
Furthermore, they had no real reason to attack Emperor Descend, as he had not killed civilians or World Nobles; he mostly killed pirates.
In a sense, Emperor Descend had even helped them clean up some pirates.
"Sakazuki, everyone here wants to annihilate Emperor Descend more than anyone, but now is not the time. Let's wait and see." Sengoku sighed, then paused: "Moreover, Emperor Descend only eliminates those who provoke him and has not harmed the Marines. There's no need to send troops this time."
"I see you're just afraid of Emperor Descend. If you won't go, I'll go myself."
Akainu snorted coldly, then walked straight out of the room.
"What a mess." Kizaru spread his hands and mumbled his complaint.
The reason he agreed with Aokiji's idea was not out of fear, but from his own careful consideration. Going to arrest Emperor Descend now would undoubtedly start a war, and given Emperor Descend's style, they would definitely fight the Marines to the death. After all, they were a bunch of lunatics who dared to attack Holy Land Mariejois for three people.
Moreover, Akainu's remarks completely disregarded the Marine soldiers under his command and showed no consideration for the cost of this matter.
"Kizaru, follow Akainu. Given his personality, he's probably heading to the Sabaody Archipelago now. Go with him, and if he faces any danger, you can quickly bring him back with your abilities."
Although he was dissatisfied with Akainu's disregard for the lives of Marine soldiers, Akainu was, after all, the Marines' highest combat power, and they couldn't afford to lose him at this time, so he gave the order.
"Understood." With Sengoku's order, Kizaru could only helplessly leave and follow Sakazuki.
"Akainu's temperament is too cold. He has no regard for the lives of the soldiers under him. Last time, in order to kill a great pirate, he sank an entire warship, which still had Marine soldiers inside."
Sengoku sighed deeply upon hearing this, feeling powerless: "I know that, but we are currently lacking combat power, and as a Marine, Sakazuki is still competent."
