One Piece: I Start with a Married Woman, I Am the Evil Admiral!

Chapter 364 Each Person's Schemes 2

This is no exaggeration; just imagine the power of Garp's punch at the beginning of the Beehive Island arc.

If the power of this punch were increased a hundredfold, what kind of world-destroying force would it be?

Even if it were only ten times more powerful, let alone a hundred times, it would be enough to blast the entire Beehive Island to the bottom of the sea with a single punch!

However, at that moment, a surge of excitement welled up inside Aini. He noticed that two of the two people standing before him were not actually ability users.

This was undoubtedly a golden opportunity for Aini. After all, his special methods could come in handy when facing non-powered individuals.

Moreover, after some observation and thought, Enni gradually understood Akainu's true purpose in electrifying the room.

Sure enough, the next second, Akainu spoke up: "Due to Shiki's antics, the Marine Headquarters is facing a significant shortage of manpower. This is especially true at the level of top-tier combatants. Therefore, I hope you can return to Marine Headquarters and follow unified deployment and command. As for the New World, I will leave it to Issho to guard. I believe that with his strength, plus the people you have gathered, he is fully capable of holding that place."

After hearing Akainu's words, Enni's lips curled into a slight smile. He didn't have much resistance to being transferred back to Marine Headquarters.

After all, if he were to return to the Navy Headquarters, he would certainly gain corresponding power and status.

This was undoubtedly a very attractive offer for Aini.

After all, who wouldn't want power and status?

He definitely wouldn't want to go back to being a henchman who only takes orders.

Akainu would definitely not do that!

Because doing so would be blatantly offending people. Therefore, he was certain that Akainu would delegate power to him.

He chuckled and asked, "Then, which area will Fleet Admiral Akainu assign me to oversee?"

Fleet Admiral Akainu seemed to have anticipated Enni's question, and he answered without hesitation, "I plan to establish a pursuit fleet, and you can choose the personnel."

"The pursuit fleet?"

Upon hearing this word, Aini's face showed a look of utter surprise, as if the word was completely foreign to him. He couldn't help but wonder if such a setting existed in the original work.

However, this thought only flashed through his mind for a moment before he quickly dismissed it. In his mind, self-interest was the most crucial factor.

As long as the task brings him benefits, everything else seems insignificant.

So, without hesitation, Aini asked, "Then, just how big is this pursuit fleet?"

His voice revealed his emphasis on and anticipation for this task.

Fleet Admiral Akainu remained silent for a moment, seemingly considering how to answer the question.

After a while, he slowly spoke, "This pursuit fleet is quite large, including five vice admirals, ten rear admirals, twenty colonels, and thirty thousand soldiers. As for the officers, you can choose them yourself, while the soldiers can go to the naval academy to pick them up. It's time for this year's recruits to see some blood."

After hearing what Fleet Admiral Akainu said, Enni narrowed his eyes and pondered to himself.

This is already on a much higher level than the Buster Call!

Such a powerful lineup is enough to demonstrate the importance and difficulty of this mission.

However, most importantly, Akainu completely handed over the power to select personnel to him, which undoubtedly gave him a great deal of autonomy.

Moreover, these soldiers can be directly selected from naval academies, which is an extraordinary privilege! After all, selecting soldiers from naval academies allows them to be trained into trusted confidants, and some strong cadets can be carefully nurtured to become the backbone of the army in the future.

However, the Naval Academy of today is no longer what it once was; it is no longer the righteous academy it once was. The reason is simple: its leader, Zephyr, is no longer the Zephyr who upheld justice. He has now degenerated into a man even more insane than Akainu.

Excellent! We'll have to deal with Zefa sooner or later anyway. Since that's the case, we might as well take care of him before he causes any trouble. That way, we can avoid any unforeseen problems later.

After all, the plot is already completely messed up, so who knows if this guy's storyline might suddenly get mixed up with it?

only...

Enni didn't actually feel much gratitude towards Akainu. Although Akainu treated him well, Enni knew in his heart that this was just a tactic Akainu used after weighing the pros and cons.

Having just ascended to the position of Fleet Admiral, Akainu knew that these newly recruited Marines would not be able to play a significant role in the short term.

Moreover, most of them are likely to lean towards the doves. Rather than letting these people become supporters of the doves, it's better to hand them over to Aini. Doing so would, on the one hand, prevent the doves from continuing to grow in power; on the other hand, it would also create a karmic entanglement between the doves and Aini because of this matter, thus forging a cause-and-effect relationship.

In this way, even if the two sides do not immediately engage in fierce fighting, resentment will inevitably arise in their hearts.

This was exactly the result Akainu hoped for, because it would make it less likely that the doves and Enni would join forces to sideline him. It must be said that Akainu's move was indeed brilliant; his calculations were remarkably shrewd!

However, how could Enni not see through Akainu's schemes?

However, he didn't care about it.

The doves were his enemies to begin with. They'd have to be dealt with sooner or later, otherwise, once he becomes Fleet Admiral, he'll end up like Akainu.

Looking at this dove who's become too big to handle, I'm at my wit's end.

Instead of doing that, it would be better to cooperate with Akainu to suppress and weaken the doves.

After thinking it over carefully, Aini said: "Lieutenant General: Doberman, Storoberry, Fire Mountain, Akin, Dole; Major General: Hinata, Smoker, Mischina Olga; Colonel: Peacock, Brannu, Shuen, Burnham, Zepa, Zepa. As for the rest, you can arrange them."

Originally, Aini wanted to include Onigumo and Weasel.

However, these two are among Akainu's best men, and now that Akainu has just become Fleet Admiral, he needs more men. It's impossible for him to release them, so he has to settle for second best.
