บท 157: Chapter 156 Marine Admiral Fujitora?
People were listening attentively as Doflamingo gradually fell into a losing situation in Law's plan, eagerly anticipating Doflamingo's downfall.
However, they didn't expect the last question to be about which Marine Admiral was sent by the Marine.
What kind of question is this?
Why ask this now?
Although people were somewhat stunned, they continued to listen to Luke's explanation.
Then, everyone was shocked.
Because they heard the codenames of four Marine Admirals: Kizaru, Fujitora, Ryokugyu, and Aokiji!
How can there be four? They suddenly recalled that Aokiji seemed to have left the Marine after failing to become Fleet Admiral in a clash with Akainu.
The newly introduced Ryokugyu and Fujitora should be the replacements—Marine Admirals added later.
But this shocked them even more.
Because they were not unfamiliar with the codename "Fujitora." It had been reported in the newspaper not long ago that a new Admiral had joined the NEO Marines, and his codename was Fujitora.
Could there really be such a coincidence?
The prophecy stated that after the Summit War, a new Marine Admiral with the codename "Fujitora" would be added to the Marine. And now, a new Neo Marine Admiral in the NEO Marines also has the codename "Fujitora."
Could these two " Fujitora " be the same person?
If they are not the same person, then why would there be two identical codenames?
They couldn't be sure because codenames are not names; anyone can choose them, so there could be coincidences.
However, if they are indeed the same person, then this matter becomes interesting.
The original Fujitora, who became a Marine Admiral, has now become a NEO Marine Admiral.
The implications behind this are self-evident.
Because there is only one thing that can change the world, and that is the QnA live Broadcast, The broadcast has exposed many things and shown the darkness within the World Government and the Marine.
And now, the original Fujitora, who will suppose be a Marine Admiral, has joined the NEO Marines, abandoning the original Marine.
This already reflects something: the Marine is disappointing, causing people around the world to lose hope, give up, and start choosing a new hope.
And the NEO Marines are replacing the Marine under government control.
This news immediately ignited the spirits of people worldwide.
It was good news indeed. They had been eagerly anticipating the rise of the NEO Marines and their replacement of the Marine under government control.
They hoped for a pure Marine, not a puppet of the World Government.
Now, with someone like Zephyr, a man of trustworthy character, forming a Neo Marine force, and with powerful individuals joining the Marine, this new hope will quickly grow.
Perhaps they will see this dream come true in the near future.
If that day really comes, it will be the fortune of the world's people.
This greatly stimulated people's anticipation and enthusiasm for the NEO Marines. More people felt inclined to join the NEO Marines and help this fledgling force grow stronger.
On the other hand, the Marine was taken aback and had mixed emotions.
On one hand, they were delighted that Teacher Zephyr's Neo Marine force was becoming strong. On the other hand, they felt a tinge of sorrow seeing the Marine, which they had worked hard to maintain for so many years, deteriorate to its current state.
Things were not supposed to turn out this way, but they did.
This complicated their emotions.
What shocked them even more was another matter—the codenames Ryokugyu and Fujitora. There was no one in the Marine with these codenames.
Codenames for Marine Admirals are not given when they become Admirals but after they achieve certain accomplishments after joining the Marine.
For example, Akainu had his codename while he was still a Vice Admiral.
So when the codenames Ryokugyu and Fujitora suddenly appeared, they were taken aback.
Because there was no one among their current Vice Admirals with these codenames.
And Luke's options were not baseless; they had a certain degree of factual basis.
Since Luke said so, it means that in the future, after Akainu is promoted to Fleet Admiral and Aokiji resigns from the Marine, the vacant positions of the two Admirals will be filled by Ryokugyu and Fujitora.
They formed a new trio of Marine Admirals with Kizaru.
If that's the case, their origins are clear.
They didn't rise up to the rank of Admiral from within the Marines; they were recruited from the general public.
From this perspective, it is very likely that the current Fujitora in the NEO Marine is the same Fujitora who will join the Marine after the battle on the top.
The righteous people from the civilian population have started making their choices!
This situation made the Marines at the Headquarters even more saddened. The trust in their Marine has been lost.
Fleet Admiral Sengoku's face also looked grim. As the Fleet Admiral, he knew he couldn't be happy about such things.
It proved that the Marine under his command had been defeated by the Marine under Zephyr's command. It was a major failure in his life.
He had dedicated his entire life to the Marine, only to be defeated by the newly formed Neo Marine under Zephyr's leadership. It was a tremendous blow to Sengoku's pride.
He already knew that his foster son died at the hands of Doflamingo, and now he learned about this as well. Sengoku's mood worsened to the extreme.
God knows how much he wanted to make the Marine great, but now it had turned out like this.
Where did the problem lie?
Sengoku gazed in the direction of Mariejois, where the World Government resided.
The righteousness of the Marine had been tainted by politics.
And as the Fleet Admiral, he is powerless.
Sengoku's long-standing ambition finally showed signs of despair and frustration. Perhaps it was time for him to let go of this responsibility. It seemed that he couldn't bear this burden anymore...
...
Meanwhile, at Mariejois, in Pangea Castle, the Five Elders had serious expressions, and the atmosphere stagnated.
Their greatest fear had indeed come true.
The appearance of the NEO Marine provided an alternative direction for the people of the world.
Even though they had known beforehand about the NEO Marine's formidable force, including a member who could summon meteors, learning that Fujitora was supposed to be a future Admiral hit them even harder.
This was supposed to be a force of the Marine, but now it had turned against them.
The person who should have been theirs had now become their enemy. The Five Elders regretted deeply. If they had known, they wouldn't have issued the appointment of Weevil so easily.
They hadn't taken Zephyr seriously at the time and intentionally allowed him to defect from the Marine, hoping to find an opportunity to eliminate him.
But they didn't expect that their actions would backfire. They didn't anticipate the variable known as Luke. Luke gave Zephyr more time and a healthier body, enabling him to oppose them.
If they had known that Fujitora would cross over, they should have waited to issue the appointment for Zephyr while he was still at the Marineford. They could have detained Zephyr and snuffed out all the trouble at its inception.
Then none of this would have happened.
But now it was too late. Zephyr had established the NEO Marine, and the supposed future Admiral, Fujitora, had also become a NEO Marine Admiral.
The situation was even more unfavorable for them. The NEO Marine was beginning to show itself as a replacement for the Marine.
However, there was a bigger problem facing them now.
The newly joined Admirals included two individuals. One was Fujitora, who had already become a NEO Marine Admiral. The other had the code name Ryokugyu and no one knew his true identity. What if this Ryokugyu also joined the NEO Marine upon hearing this news?
That wouldn't be a joke. It would mean that the NEO Marine, with Zephyr, Fujitora, Ryokugyu and the Revolution Army's connection with them through Dragon, would possess four Admiral-level powers.
What does that concept mean? The current Four Emperors, not a single one of them could withstand an onslaught from the NEO Marine.
Of course, if Zephyr were to do such a thing, the cost would undoubtedly be significant, enough to make the Five Elders laugh themselves into a stupor.
With four Admiral-level powers in the NEO Marine, even the World Government and the Marine couldn't be sure of defeating them.
If that were the case, then the NEO Marine would truly stand tall.
They only needed time.
The NEO Marine already had formidable high-end forces, but their middle and lower ranks were still far from matching the Marine's.
They just needed time to strengthen their middle and lower ranks to truly replace the Marine and bring justice to the world.
By then, there would be no need for a Marine under the World Government's control, and correspondingly, the existence of the World Government wouldn't be so necessary.
On the NEO Marine's side, there were no kings or Tenryuubito, and they wouldn't need to pay exorbitant celestial gold taxes or deal with intermediaries taking a cut.
Even a fool would know which side to choose.
The kings of the allied countries were perhaps the most practical of all. Their relationship with the World Government was not deep; it was merely a matter of interests.
If they didn't share common interests, they could easily abandon the World Government. Currently, they had no choice but to stay.
The Five Elders, who understood this reality, naturally understood the terrifying consequences. They had already anticipated such a situation, which is why they had been erasing any signs of it.
However, it seemed that the momentum couldn't be stopped now.
The NEO Marine's growth seemed too rapid. They hadn't even begun to employ their tricks, only to find out they were no longer necessary.
But now they had to stop the NEO Marine's momentum at all costs; otherwise, they would be on the receiving end of their attacks.
Furthermore, recruitment had to be initiated. They couldn't let the talents from the civilian population flow over to the NEO Marine; otherwise, things would really take a turn for the worse.
The Five Elders were anxious and had a splitting headache. Meanwhile, on another part of the sea...
Zephyr and the other NEO Marine members, including Fujitora, were watching this live broadcast on the deck of a warship.
