Chapter 92

"Correct answer," Luo ke said.

Luo ke's answer immediately caused a wave of shock worldwide.

Many people had been hoping for someone other than Akainu to become the Fleet Admiral, considering Akainu's character and the fact that Sengoku had recommended Aokiji for the position.

Therefore, they were more accepting of Aokiji.

However, it was Akainu who ultimately became the Fleet Admiral, and this result was hard for them to accept.

Many people couldn't accept it, but Akainu smiled with satisfaction.

No matter what they thought, in the end, he became the Fleet Admiral.

Akainu glanced at Sengoku, whose face revealed nothing. Upon hearing this answer, Sengoku wasn't surprised or pleased; he remained calm.

What concerned him more was that this result contradicted his intentions.

This meant that he and the Five Elders didn't have a unified opinion on this matter.

Akainu was the person favored by the Five Elders, while Aokiji was his choice.

So, it was possible that his decision was not targeting Akainu but rather the Five Elders. Something must have happened that caused his dissatisfaction with the Five Elders... Sengoku pondered.

With Akainu becoming an Admiral in the future, the people at Marine Headquarters all looked at him with different expressions, their thoughts unknown.

As for the pirates around the world, their faces turned ugly. They had heard about Akainu's personality, which was known throughout the seas.

Cruel, heartless, and ruthless, he showed no mercy to pirates and was known for making an example of them.

This meant that once Akainu took office, the Marines' pursuit of pirates would become even more severe, and the seas would become more difficult to navigate.

For the Yonko and other notorious pirates, this was also not good news.

Sengoku, at least, was a rational person who could distinguish between the significant and the trivial and wouldn't easily target them.

However, Akainu was a stubborn person, with a sense of justice even more extreme than Sengoku's. Who knows, one day he might point at them and say that this evil deserves a battle, and then start a war with them.

Such a radical faction indeed gave them a headache, and considering the outcome of the Marineford War with Whitebeard's Pirate Crew, they didn't want to engage in a war with the Marines easily, ending up with both sides suffering while others benefited.

Living in peace and getting rich together, wouldn't that be beautiful?

They hoped that after becoming Fleet Admiral, Akainu would mature a bit, not constantly thinking about killing them, and see the reality clearly.

...

On the Moby Dick, Luo ke continued, "After the Battle of Marineford, Sengoku resigned from the position of Fleet Admiral and recommended Admiral Akainu as the next Fleet Admiral.

But this idea was rejected by the Five Elders, who valued Akainu more and believed that he better fit their concept of a Fleet Admiral.

As a result, Akainu and Aokiji engaged in a battle for the position of Fleet Admiral, which took place in Punk Hazard.

The two fought for ten days and ten nights, and the clash between the Ice and Magma Devil Fruit abilities transformed half of Punk Hazard into a terrain of molten lava and frozen earth.

The battle ended with Akainu emerging as the victor and claiming the position of Fleet Admiral.

Aokiji suffered severe burns to his right side during the fight and lost his left leg. After the battle for Fleet Admiral, he left the Marines."

This outcome was unexpected for everyone, including the two main characters

of this struggle, Aokiji and Akainu.

They couldn't have imagined that the battle for Fleet Admiral would be so fierce.

Two Admirals fought each other to the point of no return.

The loser didn't die, but their body was severely burned, losing a leg and becoming disabled, ultimately leaving the Marines.

This was the highest combat power of the Marines, an Admiral, and they were internally depleted because of such an event.

Upon hearing this news, many people felt regretful.

You see, this happened after the Summit War, when the Navy had just gone through such a massive conflict. It's quite outrageous that they would lose one of their top combatants at such a critical time.

With Akainu ascending to the position of Fleet Admiral and Aokiji leaving the Navy, there are now two vacancies among the Navy's three Admirals.

The civilians may feel regret, but on the side of the pirates, it's a mix of astonishment and amusement.

You Navy folks are really ruthless.

We thought you were tough on pirates, but now you don't hesitate to go all out against your own comrades.

For the sake of a Fleet Admiral position, you've disabled and even broken the leg of a fellow Marine.

This makes them realize the Navy's coldness and ruthlessness.

They are merciless towards outsiders and even more so towards their own.

With someone like Akainu becoming the Fleet Admiral, the future doesn't look good for us pirates.

At the Marine Headquarters, everyone looks at Akainu and Aokiji with shock. They can't believe they went this far!

Even Sengoku didn't anticipate this outcome when he made the recommendation. He thought that even after his retirement, the Navy would still have Aokiji, Kizaru, and Akainu as the three Admirals.

He and the old-timers like Garp just need to watch from behind and cultivate new talents.

Who could have expected that right after he resigned, Aokiji would leave as well, leaving two vacancies among the Navy's top ranks?

And Aokiji didn't anticipate that he would be recommended as Fleet Admiral in the first place. It was an unexpected joy for him. But in the blink of an eye, his leg was broken, and he left the Navy...

It sounds too tragic... Aokiji scratched his head, not knowing what to say.

As he looks at the sympathetic gazes from everyone, Aokiji can only shrug helplessly, indicating that he also doesn't know how things turned out this way.

On the other hand, Akainu, after his initial shock at driving Aokiji out of the Navy, starts to feel pleased.

When he heard Sengoku's recommendation for Aokiji, he was already quite dissatisfied with Sengoku and Aokiji. Why should someone like Aokiji, a lazy and indifferent guy, compete with him for the position of Fleet Admiral?

But when he heard that Aokiji had challenged him and had his leg broken in the process, he felt no sympathy. Instead, he considered it only natural for the strongest to claim the position of Fleet Admiral.

It was only right for Aokiji to be defeated since his skills were inferior. On the contrary, it proved that he was stronger than Aokiji. He deserved to be the Fleet Admiral, and this outcome made him feel relieved of the anger he had just experienced.

Furthermore, he has the support of the Five Elder Stars, who also believe that he is more suitable to be the Fleet Admiral. With the backing of the Five Elder Stars and his victory over Aokiji, his position as Fleet Admiral is unquestionably justified.

The facts have also proven that Sengoku's choice was wrong. If it wasn't for his recommendation of Aokiji, Aokiji wouldn't have ended up like this. It's not Akainu's fault; the mistake lies in Sengoku's selection of Aokiji, who, without any sense, dared to challenge him.

He is the true candidate for the position of Fleet Admiral. Sengoku lacks insight, and the Summit War was also a mistake on his part.

He is already old, and it's time for him to step down from the position of Fleet Admiral.

The future of the Navy belongs to him, and he will lead the Navy to glory once again.

Akainu casts a mocking glance at Sengoku, a cold smile appearing on his face as he confidently embraces his determination.

Sengoku ignores Akainu's provocation. After witnessing the outcome of the dispute between Aokiji and Akainu for the position of Fleet Admiral, he can't help but reflect on the situation.

If this leads to Aokiji leaving the Navy, it's not the result he wanted.

Perhaps he should reconsider the rightful holder of the position of Fleet Admiral.

...

The members of the Whitebeard Pirates couldn't help but show anger upon hearing that Akainu had indeed become the Fleet Admiral. They were dissatisfied with this outcome.

Two people who contributed to the disintegration of the Whitebeard Pirates—one became the Fleet Admiral, and the other became one of the Four Emperors.

They both rose to prominence, while their Whitebeard Pirates crumbled.

Such a stark contrast made them feel a mix of anger and sadness.

Fortunately, their captain's answer was correct, and they successfully answered all eight questions this time.

They wondered what kind of reward they would receive.

All of them looked at Luo ke.

Luo ke began the predetermined procedure.

"Now that all ten questions have been answered, according to the rules, we will now play the footage related to the last five questions.

I hope you all enjoy it. Let's start playing 'Summit War 3.'"

The screens around the world instantly turned black and then switched to another scene.

Everyone was immediately captivated by what they saw.

It was the footage that followed the scene of Whitebeard's death.

At this moment, everyone immediately remembered something mentioned by Luo ke earlier.

That was the real purpose of Blackbeard, Teach, participating in the Summit War—to plunder Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit ability.

With this in mind, their eyes widened. Could someone really do such a thing?

Steal someone else's abilities for their own use?

In the footage, Whitebeard fell, and cries of grief and cheers echoed from Marine Headquarters. People from various factions showed different expressions...

Meanwhile, the Blackbeard Pirates, who had just killed Whitebeard, stood by his side.

Even though Whitebeard was dead, he remained standing tall.

The Blackbeard Pirates covered Whitebeard's body with a black cloth, and then Blackbeard burst into excited laughter.

"Hehe... Hahaha... Alright, let's begin!"

The Navy and the Whitebeard Pirates looked on in shock and anger, unable to understand what the Blackbeard Pirates were planning.

Blackbeard's face had a mysterious expression as he said, "Thieves, hahaha... Let me show you the best performance!"

After saying that, Blackbeard walked alone into the black cloth.

The rest of the Blackbeard Pirates stood guard outside.

"Hehehe..."

"No one is allowed inside!"

"Looking forward to it!"

"If we fail, do we have to disband?"

...

As everyone nervously watched the scene on the screen, could Blackbeard really achieve such a thing? Becoming the only person in the world with two Devil Fruit powers, and even stealing the Tremor-Tremor Fruit ability from the strongest man in the world, Whitebeard?!!

Seeing this scene, many people nervously swallowed their saliva. They couldn't imagine what would happen when these two terrifying abilities appeared in one person.

Prominent figures from all over the world, like Sengoku, Akainu, Kaido, Big Mom, Doflamingo, and Hawk-Eye, all stared at the scene, waiting for that moment to arrive.

Just then, the black cloth was pulled away, revealing the silhouette of Blackbeard Teach in front of everyone. It was indistinguishable from when the cloth covered him.

Blackbeard laughed and said, "Marines, let me show you... my power..."

"I am once again your enemy... Zehahaha!"

After saying that, black smoke rose from Blackbeard's body. "Darkness Abyss!"

Darkness engulfed the Marines in front of him, and Blackbeard excitedly exclaimed, "This is the power of my Dark-Dark Fruit!"

Then he assumed another stance, and upon seeing it, everyone outside the screen widened their eyes.

Blackbeard raised his hand, his elbow facing outward, and then he delivered a horizontal punch to his side.

Following his punch, it seemed as if space itself shattered, revealing Whitebeard's Quake-Quake power.

The direction of the quake was aimed at the already crumbling Marine Headquarters.

As Blackbeard unleashed this punch, the Marine Headquarters couldn't withstand the force and shattered into pieces.

Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit ability was once again displayed in the hands of Blackbeard Teach!

At that moment, everyone lost their composure. Blackbeard had actually accomplished it, he obtained Whitebeard's power!!!

Before seeing this scene, many people had doubts. After all, it was a well-known fact that a person can only consume one Devil Fruit. Some had attempted to eat two, but the outcome was always a gruesome death. So, unless witnessed firsthand, it was difficult for them to believe that someone could truly possess two Devil Fruit abilities.

They had assumed that Blackbeard had found a way to obtain a second power through other means, rather than having a genuine second Devil Fruit. Such methods existed, for example, having a weapon eat a Devil Fruit.

However, the abilities that Blackbeard had just demonstrated completely proved otherwise. He truly possessed the Tremor-Tremor Fruit and became the world's only person with two Devil Fruit powers!

In the footage, Blackbeard excitedly looked at his own hands, surrounded by black smoke and a shimmering aura.

"Zehahaha... The dark gravitational force that can make everything return to nothingness!"

"The earthquakes that can destroy everything!"

"I have obtained them! Now, no one can stand against me!"

"I am the strongest!"

"Let it be known to the whole world! Boring civilians who love peace! Marines! World Government! And pirates! The future of this world has already been decided!"

"Zehahaha...! That's right, from now on..."

Blackbeard looked up and let out a long howl,

"It's my era!"
