Chapter 219 The Emperor's Alliance!
……
"I've known about your actions over the years. Before today, I thought you wanted to gain more support and be promoted to general."
"Even if... you want to compete for the position of marshal, I can understand."
On the sea, Akainu stood on a charred rock.
This is seabed rock that he burned through the ocean and brought up.
Those with top-tier Devil Fruit powers have essentially developed the ability to fight at sea.
Kizaru can fly, and Aokiji can freeze the sea. If Akainu didn't have similar abilities, he wouldn't be considered by most people to be the strongest admiral of his time.
……
Not far away, Allen stood on the ice crystal platform and said calmly, "So what do you know now that you insist on blocking my way?"
"This is an order from the World Government... Admiral Sakazuki."
Akainu lowered his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Don't tell such shallow lies. You have no regard for the World Government."
"I don't care about what's between you. Anyway, I'll go back now and pretend I know nothing."
Allen raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "What did the Five Elders say to you? Can you tell me?"
After a moment of contemplation, Akainu looked at him intently.
"The Five Elders told me... you'll team up with Whitebeard to break through Marine Headquarters, and they want me to find an opportunity to severely damage you!"
……
Allen nodded slightly: "I can understand their concerns... but I don't understand why you're telling me this."
"You are clearly the most trusted person among the Five Elders. I heard that the higher-ups have proposed that you take over the position of Marshal after Sengoku."
Akainu remained silent for a long time.
"Because I know..."
"You will never team up with Whitebeard, but you will leave the Navy after Whitebeard is defeated!"
Allen's pupils contracted slightly, his eyes lit up, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily turned up.
"Really..."
"We've had the least contact, yet you were able to clearly guess my thoughts. I'm truly moved, Admiral Sakazuki!!"
No denial...
Akainu's last shred of hope shattered.
……
"By drawing personnel from various branches, they've secretly established numerous clandestine bases in recent years... Allen, are you going to follow the dragon's path?!"
Allen shook his head decisively: "How could that be? I have absolutely no interest in liberation or anything like that."
"Things haven't happened yet, and there's a difference between what you think and what you do. Maybe I just want to carry out an internal reform of the Navy."
"General Sakazuki, there's no point in me going back now. We need to settle things and determine who is right and who is wrong."
……
"How can one distinguish right from wrong..." Akainu murmured, his fists clenched tightly.
"I understand your difficulties, and I understand the Five Elders, but I have more faith in my own judgment. Not everything can be judged as right or wrong."
Allen smiled faintly: "Then let's settle this with a winner. The winner is always right."
"You have no chance of winning! Going there will surely mean certain death!"
Akainu shouted angrily, "Isn't it clear to me?! The World Government already considers you an enemy!"
"That was Whitebeard's funeral, and also your execution ground!!"
"This is a trap set for you!"
……
Allen tilted his head slightly, as if in response to Akainu's words, revealing his neck.
"The execution platform?"
"Who do you think I am!"
The smile grew increasingly ferocious and terrifying, with a chilling aura and black and red lightning swirling around it.
"I'm too lazy to argue with you. If you don't move aside..."
Allen raised his hand, aiming at the warship that was sailing in the distance to meet Akainu; on board were Akainu's subordinates.
A terrifying surge of energy was building up in his palm.
"I'll kill them all."
! !
Akainu was startled and stared intently into Allen's eyes.
"Are you serious?!"
……
"This is the feast I've been waiting for. I'm prepared to gain everything or lose everything."
There was not a trace of warmth in Allen's eyes; they were icy cold.
"If you really want to stop it... then kill me if you can."
Just as Allen was about to unleash the power in his palm, Akainu spoke.
"I see……"
He lowered his fists, picked up the fallen coat of justice, and put it on.
Before turning around.
"Allen..."
"If you really do something I can't tolerate, I'll kill you."
Allen slowly lowered his raised arm and said calmly, "If you can't stand it, that's your problem, not mine."
……
Akainu did not respond and flew back to the warship.

"Tear off the charred clothes," Allen whispered the order.
"Bring a new one."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shiryu handed him a black uniform that was somewhat similar to the uniform he had worn as the warden of Impel Down, except that the buttons and decorations had been replaced with the Sharingan symbol.
Shiryu, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, grinned and said, "I've always thought this kind of clothing suits you perfectly; it's a custom-made size."
Allen glanced at it.
German-style military officer uniforms...the symbolism isn't very good...
Forget it, who cares about that kind of thing?
After putting on his clothes, Allen gave Shiryu a disgusted look: "Why are you paying attention to my size? It's disgusting."
……
……
You beast!
Last time you fought Charlotte Linlin and tore your clothes, I couldn't find clothes that fit you, so you slapped me and shattered my proud jawbone!
Not only did you not offer a single compliment, but you actually dared to call me disgusting!
You wait...
I've just learned a new curse spell, and I'm going to curse you to die in the most miserable way in front of Lord Shiryu!!
After Allen went to rest in the cabin, Shiryu, who had finished cleaning the deck, squatted in a corner, gesturing something in the dim light.
……

Wano Country, Oni Island.
Kaido slowly removed the bandage from his head and turned to look at the massive figure in the darkness.
"Lingling... I told you, didn't I? If you dare come to my territory, I'll kill you!!"
"Mama mama mama..."
The laughter in the darkness gradually became clearer, and Charlotte Linlin's figure appeared.
"Kid, you still owe me a huge favor, and I'm going to get it back now!"
"I don't remember owing you any favors, get lost!!"
Lingling looked at her unruly younger brother and sneered, "Whitebeard and that brat have both gone to Marine Headquarters. Now we call the shots in the New World."
"Are you still planning to cower here and not take any action?!"
Kaido remained silent for a moment, then looked coldly at Linlin.
"What do you want to do?"
……
"Well, well, well... of course we should do what pirates do: rob!!"
"Just this once, let's form an alliance, Kaido!!"
Lingling, tears streaming down her face, wore a ferocious smile, drool dripping from her mouth: "I want that tree, and you can have Whitebeard's territory!"
Kaido scoffed, "I'll return those words to you exactly as they were. Everything except that tree is yours!"
Lingling gripped her knife in a reverse grip, staring coldly at Kaido: "Apart from Whitebeard, three of the so-called Four Emperors have been defeated by that brat. I can't swallow this insult."
"Are you out of your mind? I didn't lose to him, I'm the one who chased him away!"
crackling-
A terrifying arc of black and red electricity surged between the two, and the air crackled with a tearing sound.
A major battle is about to break out...
……
"Let's go together, same old rules, whoever gets to grab it first keeps it!"
The two said the words almost at the same time, then looked at each other and smiled.
