088 Ten Days Later

For eight hundred years, the Celestial Dragons have been the rulers of the pirate world.

Throughout these eight centuries, no force has managed to shake the status of the Celestial Dragons.

They are quite comfortable in their sky high position, 

And as the saying goes, fullness and warmth satisfy lustful desires.

These people had more than enough to eat, lived in utmost comfort, and held a high status.

For quite some time, many Celestial Dragons have displayed this inflated character. 

This has put many marine officers in a dilemma.

...

Aokiji and Akainu engaged in a fierce battle.

At this moment, Blackbeard and the others come out from the laboratory. They took cover behind a large mountain, observing the intense battle between Akainu and Aokiji.

Because the video Den-Den Mushi connected in the laboratory has been affected by the battle between Aokiji and Akainu, it can no longer be used.

All eyes were fixed on Aokiji and Akainu. Even though they were concealed behind the mountain, nobody would spot them.

"I'm afraid this will take a while," Blackbeard whispered. 

"Considering their strength, it seems they won't settle the outcome without fighting for several days and nights." 

Shiryu nodded in agreement upon hearing Blackbeard's words.

"That's right" 

Gion also nodded in agreement. 

They were all prepared to wait for a long period.

"It's insane... It's absolutely insane..." 

Caesar followed behind Blackbeard, desperately wanting to escape from the current situation.

Upon seeing the admiral, Blackbeard wished he could just go rushing into the battlefied.

It would be a good idea for Blackbeard to arrive early and set up an ambush for the admiral!

If a Marine admiral is truly killed by him, Blackbeard's influence in the New World could reach a whole new level.

Indeed, just as many pirates met their end at the hands of the Admiral as Marines did at the hands of the Four Emperors.

As time goes on, more and more pirates will likely join Blackbeard pirates.

...

Time flies so fast, and in the blink of an eye, nine days and nights have passed.

During this time, Caesar took several days sleeping, while Burgess, Gion, Pizarro, and Shiryu each took a day of rest in preparation for the upcoming battle.

Only Blackbeard watches them through the entire fight.

In terms of physical strength, he is now considered among the top experts.

In terms of stamina, there is absolutely no one in the pirate world who can match him.

He never felt the need for it. 

In the clash between Aokiji and Akainu, he had several chances to eliminate one of them, but he refrained himself from doing it. He wants to see the final outcome.

Now, on the tenth day, the showdown between Akainu and Aokiji is coming to an end after ten days and nights.

The results are coming soon

"Captain, Akainu and Aokiji truly have terrifying strength. They've been fighting for ten days and nights, and it looks like the results are about to come" 

Burgess said as he sat beside Blackbeard.

Blackbeard nodded, his eyes always focused on Aokiji and Akainu.

After ten days and nights of battling, it appears Akainu and Aokiji are on the verge of exhaustion, nearing their limits.

They've both suffered a lot of injuries during the fight, but as of now, Akainu has suffered even more wounds than Aokiji.

The scale of victory is gradually tilting towards Aokiji, then How did Akainu achieve the final victory?

...

At that moment, on the Marine warship.

"It seems the winner is about to be decided!"

"Admiral Aokiji has the upper hand!"

"As expected, Admiral Aokiji is more powerful!"

The eyes of the attending Marine officers also reflected their expectations. If Aokiji wins and becomes the fleet admiral, it's what most Marine officers hope for.

"It's getting boring. Is there no winner yet?" 

Saint Ashan asked impatiently while he was served by a beautiful maid.

After three days of observing the battle, he couldn't bear it any longer. If it weren't for his father's orders, he might have searched for a place to have fun.

"These are the most boring days of my life!" 

Saint Antina was the first to voice her complaint after hearing what Saint Ashan Said said.

The Celestial Dragons have always been arrogant wherever they go.

They can do whatever they want.

When have they ever faced injustice like this?

Indeed, in their view, this battle for the selection of the Marines Fleet Admiral is just a boring game.

"No wonder no Celestial Dragon is willing to watch this battle. It's so different from what I imagined!" 

Saint Ashan lay on the recliner, expressing his disappointment.

"It's almost time to decide the winner" 

The middle-aged Celestial Dragon said suddenly.

"Are they deciding the winner now?" 

Hearing this, both he and Saint Antina became immediately interested. 

Isn't this the day they've been waiting for?

...

All eyes were fixed on the center of the island.

Aokiji and Akainu stood on opposite sides, their bodies already full with scars.

Aokiji had some burns on his body, and Akainu had some frostbite on his body.

The two stood side by side, catching their breath.

The half of the island under Aokiji's feet and behind him had completely entered the Ice Age.

The mountains and rivers were frozen, the temperature dangerously low, and the cold was biting.

Half of the island under Akainu's feet and behind him was engulfed in magma.

The volcano's lava erupted from time to time, and thick smoke billowed.
