On August 7, 1521, Aokiji, who had been silent since returning to Prodians, finally started his big move after seven days of silence!
Zephyr, who was still in Marijoa, felt something was wrong when Aokiji was broadcasting the battle live, and immediately sent Binz from the Neo Navy to take over Kaido's territory behind Aokiji, which he had recently conquered.
Unexpectedly, it was embarrassing again. Just like when Shuzo went to the G8 Fortress, Binz was directly blocked by the original Navy.
Who are the other 50,000 navy garrisons guarding against? At least it was not just to guard against the Four Emperors and the Revolutionary Army...
At this time, Aokiji gave him a big "surprise" and directly arranged a press conference for reporters, denouncing the decision of the "Council" to enter the New World by force, saying that Zephyr was greedy and ignored the civilians' desire for peace after the World Government was overthrown. For his own power, he ignored the navy officers and civilians of various countries...
And Aokiji also strongly demanded that Sengoku issue a ceasefire order, stop the armed intervention in the New World, and return to normal negotiations. He also announced that he would withdraw from the Revolutionary Army Alliance including the Kingdom of Prodians, and reiterated the principle that the Revolutionary Army was also a part of the "International Alliance".
Of course, Kaido's territories will not be withdrawn. First, Kaido is a pirate, and Aokiji has no reason to give in to him. Second, Aokiji also needs a place to temporarily station troops, and can't just retreat to Marijoa... After all, Marijoa is still in the hands of Zephyr's neo navy!
In the following days, Aokiji seemed to be possessed by the spirit of variety shows, forcibly requiring major newspapers and TV stations to broadcast his programs and to make a ceasefire statement in various ways.
The Alliance Council, headed by Sengoku, did not approve of resorting to force, and at this time also put pressure on Zephyr...
A few days later, Zephyr discovered that Lucci had disappeared!
Zephyr, who had an ominous premonition in his heart, ignored the parliament again and forced the council to pass a resolution to dismiss Aokiji, Kizaru and others, and asked Aokiji to return to Marijoa to report immediately.
As a result, Crocodile was also in Alabasta at this time, publicly announcing his support for Aokiji's anti-war statement, demanding that the parliament dismiss Zephyr and reorganize the council...
And in the live broadcast, Zephyr also found that in the crowd behind Crocodile, there was a "passerby" wearing black clothes, with a hat brim pulled down very low, but with a white dove on his shoulder. Zephyr
: !!!
Obviously his premonition was right. Lucci was not idle during this period. He connected with Crocodile and attacked Zephyr together!
Zephyr was furious and directly dispatched troops. On the one hand, he personally entered the New World to supervise the battle, and on the other hand, he ordered Coby and Bellemer of Marinford, hoping that they would stop Crocodile. However, Coby and Bellemer ignored him. Who made this guy's previous method of calculating Garp so unpleasant?
After a series of fermentations before, Zephyr has lost the prestige of the uncrowned king of the Old World government faction...
The infighting of the Old World government faction started in the "most lively" way. Aokiji and Crocodile, the weaker of the three giants, joined forces to attack Zephyr, the former "leader"!
More than a month later, the neo navy was defeated and the remnants retreated to the West Sea. Before the Battle of Marinford, Zephyr's pirate guerrillas had been wandering in the West Sea.
Teach's control over the West Sea was not enough to make Zephyr afraid to return to the West Sea. Moreover, Teach had just defeated the main force of the Kingdom of Flowers and was busy clearing out the remaining forces of the Kingdom of Flowers...
Before Zephyr left, he talked with Sengoku and concluded that Sengoku did not fully know Aokiji's plan before that. On the contrary, Lucci and Aokiji were very close!
After the defeat of the Neo Navy, the Council established to implement Zephyr's will was naturally disbanded as scheduled.
The original Navy controlled Marijoa, Crocodile returned to Alabasta, and was appointed as the Inspector of the East Sea...
However, there are rumors that when Crocodile left, he seemed to have some unpleasantness with Lucci and Aokiji.
As the price of the alliance, the East Sea must be what Lucci promised to give to Crocodile, but it is obvious... It's not enough! At least Crocodile wants more than that.
After Marijoa "changed the flag", Sengoku was also exhausted and resigned from the position of Grand Speaker...
And the result of the Grand Speaker election puzzled the whole world - after Steel Bone Kong, Garp, and Sengoku, Rob Lucci was elected Grand Speaker!
Rob Lucci?
Isn't he an old spy of CP? Are
the representatives crazy or coerced?
However, as soon as the results came out, representatives from various countries soon expressed their opinions - indeed, most of the members voted for Rob Lucci, and as for the reasons... one is more high-sounding than the other.
Only a few people know the truth behind it, that is, Rob Lucci, because of his previous identity advantage, holds the black history of politicians from various countries in his hands...
Rob Lucci has been paying attention to collecting these since he was "enlightened" by Guan Liyuan and successfully competed for the commander of CP9. Although the ruling class of many countries has undergone a major change, Rob Lucci's information has been updated.
At this time, he finally got the chance. Using these dark histories and cooperating with Aokiji, Rob Lucci successfully seized the position of Grand Speaker in everyone's incredible eyes.
At the same time, Rob Lucci also knew his shortcomings. After all, he was just a CP spy. In the military, his prestige and command ability were not enough to stand on his own. The means used by the spy were incompatible with the concept of the navy.
Therefore, a decree signed after taking office was to appoint Aokiji as the general marshal of the entire army of the League of Nations, in charge of all military affairs.
As for the East China Sea, because of Dashigi's cooperation, Crocodile quickly gained local support in the East China Sea at a speed that he himself did not expect.
Lucci was also confused about this. He originally thought that Dashigi's reputation in the East China Sea was high enough to suppress Crocodile, so he took the East China Sea Patrol as a condition for cooperation. How... Dashigi's understanding is so low?
Crocodile probably attributed this to his own personal charm, and later returned the favor by asking Cobra to appoint Tashigi as the "Governor of East Alabasta".
The Inspector of the East Sea and the Governor of the West Sea are officials of the World Government, while the Governor of Alabasta is considered an official of Alabasta, appointed and dismissed by King Cobra.
As a result, after the original Navy Department defeated the neo Navy Department, the atmosphere in Marijoa became more and more depressing - the original three-legged tripod has now become a fight between two tigers!
Crocodile is also sharpening his knife. The infighting of the forces of the Old World Government has obviously only come to a brief end, and has not yet come to an end.
Guan Liyuan had already returned to Cake Island when Aokiji counterattacked Marijoa. When the original Navy Department controlled Marijoa, Guan Liyuan had already embarked on the journey to Wano Country...
