Chương 158: Chapter 157 The Yellow Ape?
When the name " Fujitora" was mentioned, everyone's gaze turned towards him. They already knew this blind swordsman was extraordinary, but they never expected that he would be the future Admiral of the Marine. This alone proved his immense strength.
Now, the future Admiral of the Marine had joined the NEO Marine, which was an inspiring development for everyone in the NEO Marine.
Fujitora chuckled at the idea of becoming the Admiral but didn't show any surprise. He did consider joining the Marine to uphold justice if it weren't for the NEO Marine and Zephyr. However, through the QnA Broadcast, he realized that the World Government-controlled Marine lacked true justice. Even someone like Akainu, who represented absolute justice, had to submit before the Five Elders. In such a place, he feared that his own personality would eventually clash with the Five Elders sooner or later.
The outcome was unknown.
He might end up like the next Zephyr.
Compared to that, he was grateful for the existence of the NEO Marine. Here, he could practice his sense of justice alongside like-minded people.
Zephyr turned to Fujitora and asked, "What do you know about Ryokugyu?"
"I've never heard of him, but if he is someone who carries justice like me, then I believe he will make the right choices," Fujitora said calmly with his eyes closed.
"I hope so," Zephyr nodded and turned back to the screen.
In another part of the world, a certain man watched the live broadcast with contemplation.
...
The discussion about the question had generated more interest than discussing the answers. After knowing that this Fujitora might or might not be the same as the NEO Marine's Fujitora and the identity of Ryokugyu remained unknown, people returned to focus on the answer to this question.
However, they didn't know the answer.
Even Law was in a dilemma.
Among the four options, the one about Kuzan (Aokiji) could be eliminated since he had already left the Marine at this time.
The remaining three options, whether Fujitora, Ryokugyu, or Kizaru, all had the possibility of being chosen.
No one had a higher or lower chance; all three were quite likely.
However, compared to the others, Kizaru was an experienced Admiral, more well-known, and had recently performed more impressively, raising his popularity compared to Akainu and Aokiji. The chances of him becoming the next Fleet Admiral were higher.
As for Fujitora, he had only recently risen to fame. It was said that he was the new Admiral of the NEO Marine, a formidable man capable of controlling meteors
Law knew more about him.
But the last option, Ryokugyu, had no clues at all. He hadn't even heard of such a person's existence.
Thus, after thinking about it, Law was astonished to realize that he might have to rely on a guess for this question. If he didn't guess, he couldn't figure out who it was.
But Law didn't want to leave his fate to luck. Although he couldn't say he had great luck in life, neither could he say it was terrible.
In his childhood, his parents and loved ones died tragically, and his country was destroyed. He contracted the deadly Amber Lead Disease. When he finally met someone who treated him kindly, he sacrificed himself to protect him. It seemed that fate had never favored him and only brought him pain and torment.
But, on the other hand, he survived in Vergo's deadly trap, not only that, but he also encountered someone who saved his twisted soul. Afterward, he obtained a Ope Ope no Mi worth five billion Berries, and cure his Amber Lead Disease. In the dire situation on Minion Island, he eventually survived.
With such circumstances, even Law himself didn't know if he was lucky or unlucky.
So, he couldn't rely on luck and believed more in himself, making calculated moves and taking control of his own destiny.
Since he couldn't tackle the question directly, he could try to understand the intentions of the questioner.
What was Luke's purpose in asking this question?
What did this answer signify?
Law glanced at Luke and noticed the other's indifferent expression, as if he didn't care at all whether Law's answer was right or wrong.
Regardless of being right or wrong, it didn't matter to him.
Suddenly, Law thought of something and a peculiar idea crossed his mind. If Luke was only using this question to test the genuineness of the QnA, then Law's response wasn't important.
It meant that he was just a tool, used to prove the authenticity of the QnA? As this idea emerged, Law's mouth twitched.
Law pushed this thought aside and focused on the question and Luke's intentions.
Obviously, this last question was not the end of his encounter with Doflamingo, as his plan had just begun, and the Marine had just sent someone to deal with the situation.
If that was the case, there should be a follow-up.
However, this was already the tenth question.
Suddenly, Law thought of the previous Summit War's question. It seemed like he understood something.
If this QnA was only the first part of this event, it meant there would be a follow-up, just like the question at the Summit War, which came again for the second round.
This idea shook Law, and he felt overjoyed. If that was the case, it meant he had two chances. Even if he didn't encounter the reincarnation reward in the first round, he would have a second chance.
He couldn't believe that his luck was so bad that he would miss both opportunities.
Continuing with this question, what was Luke's purpose?
Why did he specifically ask about the Marine Admiral this time?
Since Luke asked this question, it meant that this person played a crucial role in the subsequent events. Given Luke's history of opposing the World Government, this outcome could potentially be unfavorable for the World Government.
In other words, this might be another scandal involving the World Government or the Marine, causing them embarrassment or anger.
But why?
Several question marks popped up in Law's mind.
What could have happened to make them angry or embarrassed?
He remembered that Doflamingo was defeated by Monkey D. Luffy, right? Wait...
If Doflamingo resigned from the Shichibukai, and the Marine sent a top Admiral to take him down, it should have been the responsibility of an Admiral, not Monkey D. Luffy.
Law suddenly felt that something was not right; something seemed off.
This situation seemed too smooth.
He had used Caesar as leverage against Doflamingo, and Doflamingo immediately gave up his Shichibukai status. That, in itself, was abnormal.
Doflamingo couldn't have been unaware of Law's intentions, and he certainly wouldn't have believed that Law would return Caesar to him...
However, Doflamingo agreed so readily. There was definitely something fishy about this.
After Doflamingo agreed, the newspapers immediately reported his resignation from the Shichibukai.
Suddenly, another incident came to Law's mind, something that had puzzled him at the time.
It was a conversation between Admiral Akainu and the Five Elders after Akainu became the Fleet Admiral. It concerned Doflamingo because Law remembered it distinctly.
Akainu had said to the Five Elders, "Why must the entire world revolve around a mere Doflamingo? If such a thing happens again, how can I, as the Fleet Admiral, maintain my dignity? Don't do such things again!"
The Five Elders replied, "What does your dignity matter?"
At the time, he didn't understand what had happened to make Akainu feel that he lost face, and why it was related to Doflamingo.
But now, putting these two incidents together—Akainu losing face after becoming the Fleet Admiral and his argument with the Five Elders—and both incidents being connected to Doflamingo...
The answer was becoming evident.
The news about Doflamingo resigning from the Shichibukai was all part of a scam. The World Government cooperated with Doflamingo and published that report. Later, when Akainu found out about it, he argued with the Five Elders but was shut down.
If that's the case, then the Marine Admiral who was sent there wasn't there to take down Doflamingo but to deal with Trafalgar Law!
Law's pupils suddenly contracted. Could it really be like this?!
If that's true, then it's troublesome. He had followed the plan and went to Dressrosa to destroy Doflamingo's factory.
Now, Doflamingo was waiting for him in Dressrosa, and the Marine Admiral had also gone to Dressrosa.
Dealing with just Doflamingo was already very difficult, how could he possibly handle a Marine Admiral on top of that?
The situation had reached a deadlock.
Law's face changed drastically.
But soon, he thought of Luffy. Luffy defeated Doflamingo, but how was he able to do it?
Even if Luffy's strength was superior to Doflamingo, what about the Marine Admiral who was sent there?
Why didn't he intervene?
How could he just watch Doflamingo get defeated...
Law suddenly realized there was a blind spot.
The Marine Admiral was in Dressrosa, Luffy defeated Doflamingo, and this was an incredible feat in itself.
Luffy couldn't possibly defeat both Doflamingo and the Marine Admiral at the same time, even if he teamed up with Law. The difference in strength was evident, and Dressrosa was Doflamingo's stronghold, where all the top members of the Donquixote Family were present!
Not only did they lack the numbers, but they were also at a disadvantage in terms of strength.
However, Luffy still defeated Doflamingo.
The only answer Law could think of was that the Marine Admiral who was sent there deliberately went easy on Luffy!
And not just a little lenient, but completely watched Doflamingo get beaten.
When he thought of someone letting their guard down, a funny face came to Law's mind.
It was Admiral Kizaru.
