Chapter 78: The Competition in the Divine Guard, The Ambition In Akainu's Eyes!
"Then you'd better practice more to become stronger in the future."
Kaos stood up and smiled lightly. "Otherwise, if you don't have enough strength, you'll be kicked out of the Admiral's position. After all, the competition in this army will be very fierce in the future!"
"The conscription involves all the worlds that will open in the future, including ours."
This alone proves how terrifying the Divine Guard will become.
Even now, Momousagi is incredibly strong.
But in the future, who can guarantee that no monsters will emerge among the Divine Guard?
There are always prodigies out there.
It's fine if you don't give them a chance.
But once the opportunity arises, they'll grow at a rocket's pace. What might take one or two years for them could surpass the progress of others who've trained for nearly a decade.
Take Zoro and Kuina from the One Piece world, for instance.
Kuina aside for now.
But Zoro? Undoubtedly a genius.
The more he fights, the stronger he becomes.
His potential is immense.
And in other worlds?
Let's talk about Saeko Busujima from the zombie world. Although Kaos hasn't seen her for a while, he's heard from Stussy that Saeko's strength has improved rapidly. Even the CP0 base chief holds her in high regard.
Rumor has it that Saeko Busujima will become one of the strong in the seas within a year.
This "strong" refers to Admiral-level power.
How terrifying that is.
Don't forget, Saeko Busujima comes from the zombie world. By nature, she's inherently weaker than people from the pirate world, meaning she needs much more effort to bridge the gap.
Yet, even under such circumstances, Saeko Busujima might reach Admiral-level strength within a year.
Her potential speaks for itself.
And across the multiverse, there are plenty of people with potential like Saeko Busujima.
When these prodigies converge, the level of competition will be unimaginable.
Kaos didn't need to explain much.
Momousagi could already visualize it. A determined look flashed across her face, and she gritted her teeth, "Your Highness, rest assured. The position of Admiral is not something that can simply be given away."
"Some may have talent, and some may work hard."
"But I won't lose to either of them."
With resolve in her voice, she continued, "No matter what happens, one of the Admiral positions in the Divine Guard will belong to me!"
"I'll wait and see."
Kaos smiled and nodded.
When subordinates are motivated, it brings joy to their leader.
After chatting with Momousagi for a while, Kaos left.
Through the double doors, Kaos returned to the One Piece world.
On a luxurious cruise ship.
As soon as Kaos returned, Stussy, her long legs wrapped in white stockings, approached gracefully and reported in a low voice. "Your Highness, we're about to arrive in North Blue, and the Buster Call from the Marine side is ready, led by Akainu."
"Akainu?"
Kaos nodded, his eyes flickering.
Among the Admirals, Kaos held a certain appreciation for Akainu.
Stepping onto the deck, feeling the wind against him, Kaos watched as the cruise ship crossed the Calm Belt, entering North Blue territory.
At the same time, a warship appeared on the horizon.
As the ship drew closer, Akainu, clad in a red suit and Marine coat, stepped forward. Even as an Admiral, he bowed respectfully. "I greet Your Highness."
Kaos turned his gaze toward him. "Sakazuki."
"Yes."
Akainu raised his head slightly, awaiting Kaos's orders, using the chance to study his expression.
As their gazes met, Akainu quickly averted his eyes and lowered his head again.
Kaos chuckled softly. "I see ambition in your eyes."
Akainu's vision is full of ambition.
In response, Akainu also nodded unabashedly. "His Highness's eyes are like torches."
Kaos asked with a smile, "Can you tell me what your ambition refers to~?"
Akainu's eyes were burning. "A different world!"
Really.
Even Akainu can't resist the attraction of the Otherworld?
But think about it too.
In this world, whoever knows the existence of the Otherworld, who would not desire to go there?
There are too many things represented by the Otherworld:
Wealth.
Strength.
Etc.
Variety.
"However, I remember you wanted to clean up all the debris in the sea?" Kaos asked.
Akainu shook his head. "The powerful power gained in the Otherworld can speed up this process even more!"
Although Akainu has not entered the Otherworld, he clearly feels how much the Otherworld has improved the Marine.
Not to mention those potions. Those weapons alone are terrifying.
And Akainu himself has also taken the potion, and his strength has increased significantly.
As an Admiral, regarding strength, there is no doubt that he desires to obtain even greater power. And gaining that strength can also speed up the process of eliminating the residues in the sea, especially the so-called big pirates in the New World.
Do Akainu's ambitions stop here, well, no...
As an Admiral, Akainu has good foresight. He knows that after the World Government acquires the ability to open world gates one after another, they may use this to form ten terrifying forces across the world.
Such power...
Even imagining it, Akainu can sense how terrifying it would be.
And in this case, the Marine may be important now, but in the future, it will inevitably be gradually shifted away from the focus of the World Government. Because the pirates in this world will eventually be cleaned up.
Once there are no more pirates, the Marine loses its primary purpose.
Akainu naturally wants to secure power for the future.
Not to mention, in Akainu's view, both Sengoku and Sora have already considered that, otherwise they would not have worked so hard.
Hearing this, Kaos nodded thoughtfully. "You are very good. It is okay to have ambition, but at the same time, you must also have the ability to realize your ambition."
"Currently, the World Government is forming the Divine Guard."
"This army will focus on conquering the Otherworld in the future, and it will be the only army for this purpose."
"I can transfer you into this army, but you must also let me see your loyalty and ability."
"Understand?"
Hearing this, Akainu's eyes lit up.
The Divine Guard.
Just because of the role of this army, he knew that it would replace the Marine in the future and become the most important army in the World Government, bar none. It would even surpass the current status of the Marine.
This army must be joined.
But...
"I wonder what Your Highness wants me to do?" Akainu asked.
Kaos looked into the distance. "The Kingdom of Germa can be destroyed, but Judge cannot die. He has something I want."
"I see."
Akainu nodded immediately.
Kaos then asked, "I heard that the Germa Kingdom has no fixed territory, so it's difficult to locate?"
Akainu grinned, showing an icy smile. "Please rest assured, Your Highness. The Kingdom of Germa cannot escape, and I will destroy it before your eyes in a week at the latest."
There was also a smile on Kaos's face. "I am looking forward to it."
Subsequently, Akainu turned and left.
Under the escort of the warship, the entire Buster Call fleet headed in one direction at once.
Obviously, Akainu had long been tracking the location of the Germa Kingdom.
Back by the pool, the sun was shining brightly.
Kaos sat under an umbrella, taking the drink handed to him by Rei Miyamoto. His eyes flickered as he was deep in thought.
"This sea must continue to be stable," he mused. "Preferably as it originally was."
A smooth transition to the beginning of the plot.
By that time, the World Government might have conquered more than ten worlds, and the nutrients they absorbed would be enough to enable them to level the entire New World in one fell swoop without any effort.
Thinking this, Kaos had a rough outline of his plan.
The New World can remain chaotic. The Four Seas are no match for the first half of the Grand Line.
Even so, it is necessary to strengthen the dominance over other sea areas except the New World and forcibly lock all pirates in the New World. This will make it convenient to deal with them in one sweep when the time comes.
Of course, all of this has one prerequisite: no one provokes Kaos.
Otherwise, everything will be off!
