Chapter 57: The Foundation of the Navy

Navy Headquarter, Marineford!

When Admiral Akainu realized that something was wrong and broke through imprisonment, it was already too late.

At this moment, Shiro stood in mid-air, lightning flashing all over his body, like a god!

The entire battlefield was in chaos as the elite sailors experienced a great upheaval.

Shock, surprise, regret.

Various emotions appeared on the faces of many sailors.

The most terrifying part was that some even publicly shouted the name 'Shiro'!

This included some high-ranking Marines!

Such a scene left Akainu naturally shocked.

He had never imagined that what started as a simple mission to suppress Shiro would lead to such an unpredictable outcome!

But now was not the time to hesitate.

Urgently, he needed to suppress Shiro, first.

He couldn't allow Shiro to act recklessly any longer, or else the morale of the Navy would plummet to rock bottom!

Therefore, as soon as Akainu appeared, he launched an attack like a volcanic eruption, aiming it directly at Shiro!

But Shiro was already prepared.

Admiral Akainu's destructive power was immense, and the terrifying attack was momentarily blocked by a wall of purple-red fire before shooting into the air.

Boom—

Akainu's attack missed its mark, crashing into the ground and creating a massive crater.

He looked up.

In mid-air, amidst the flashes of lightning, Shiro's figure reappeared in its original position.

At this moment, Shiro unsheathed the Supreme Sword, Destiny, and seemed to be chanting.

"Damn it, what the hell are you doing, Borsalino? Aren't you going to take action at this time?" Admiral Akainu muttered, a bad feeling gnawing at him.

Because he realized that some of the Marines around him now seemed to have undergone indescribable changes!

This made him anxious.

But with Shiro now suspended in mid-air and with his speed, Akainu couldn't deliver an effective blow to him in a short period of time.

And the only one who could match Shiro's speed, Borsalino, was simply watching the show!?

At a time like this!

In truth, Akainu was wronging Kizaru this time.

At that moment, Kizaru wasn't just idly watching; he was listening closely to Shiro's 'preaching.'

That's right, Shiro was deliberately passing his voice to both Kizaru and Aokiji.

He wasn't sure about Kizaru, but Aokiji was a good person.

Although it was unlikely Aokiji would decide to leave the Navy during the war at Marineford, at the very least, a seed could be planted in Aokiji's heart.

"Building your own power with the blood and bones of the Navy has shaken the foundation of the Navy, Shiro, what a terrifying kid~" Kizaru thought.

After listening to Shiro's preaching, Admiral Kizaru couldn't help but let out a sincere sigh. When he looked at Shiro, there was a flash of fear and admiration in his eyes.

He naturally heard Akainu's shouts, but this time, he just wanted to play it safe!

Except for Kizaru, another Admiral, Aokiji Kuzan, was also shocked.

As one of the two Admirals who previously pursued the Navy rebel Shiro, Aokiji did know a little about Shiro's slaying of a Celestial Dragon, but not everything.

At least, he didn't know that the little girl killed by the Celestial Dragon that day turned out to be the daughter of a deceased sailor.

The World Government had covered it up so perfectly!

Really, damn it!

At that moment, even though Aokiji believed in lazy justice, there was still an unquenchable fire in his heart.

Thinking of the tragedy of Ohara, a sensitive nerve in his heart was obviously touched.

As Shiro said, if the Navy is like this, then what is justice?

...

"Gurarara, Sengoku, your Navy and the World Government made the biggest mistake, letting that kid Shiro betray the Navy and not being able to completely obliterate him!"

"After this war, the Navy will never regain its former glory!"

The Emperor Whitebeard laughed loudly as he fiercely battled Sengoku.

At his age, nearing the end of his life, seeing such a heaven-defying youngster like Shiro appear was truly heartwarming!

He had also heard Shiro's voice just now.

It was truly heartbreaking, shocking!

Judging from Sengoku's expression, it seemed he hadn't heard it, otherwise, this old guy would definitely have gone mad!

It's foreseeable.

After this war, regardless of whether or not or how many elite Marines intend to follow Shiro, a seed will be planted in the hearts of all sailors.

And if this war ends in defeat, the prestige and control of the World Government and the Navy Headquarter over the seas will also be weakened!

"Newgate, what the hell did that kid Shiro do!?" Sengoku the Buddha looked anxious.

He still didn't know what had happened, but he could tell from the changes within the entire Navy that it was definitely something terrifying!

"Gurarara, the answer, you need to find it yourself. Now, get out of the way and let me rescue Ace!" Whitebeard continued to laugh, showing no respect for Sengoku.

At that moment, facing Sengoku in his Golden Buddha form, Whitebeard intensified his attacks.

The strongest man in the world's ability to wield the Tremor-Tremor Fruit shook the ground.

Even Sengoku could only passively defend at this time, unable to escape for a while.

And another concern arose.

At that moment, with the help of a group of pirates, Straw Hat Luffy was less than thirty meters away from the execution platform.

He was about to come face-to-face with the Navy hero, Garp!

Seeing this, Sengoku could only sigh helplessly.

Although he was ready to take full responsibility, he still felt guilty if the Navy lost this war.

But what decision would Garp make? He really couldn't predict.

"Sengoku, that kid Shiro is shaking the foundation of the Navy!" Garp's voice came from behind.

He knew. Garp must have known something.

And for Garp to say something like that, that kid Shiro must have done something earth-shattering.

"Garp, the Navy can't lose this war!" Sengoku the Buddha responded loudly.

Since even Garp said the foundation of the Navy was shaken, then the Navy couldn't afford to lose this war.

Garp must have enough awareness!

"Grandpa, get out of the way, I want to rescue Ace!" Straw Hat Luffy finally reached the final sprint.

He was so close to rescuing Fire Fist Ace.

Only one step left.

In front of him stood none other than his grandfather.

But for Straw Hat Luffy, saving Ace now was the most important thing.

"Damn it!" Admiral Akainu also noticed the situation at the execution platform and his expression turned even darker.

For now, it was impossible for him to deal with Shiro in a short period of time.

In that case, Fire Fist Ace must not be saved!
