Chapter 272: The Duel Between Aokiji and Akainu Is About to Begin
Marine Headquarters—
The damage caused during the Summit War had mostly been fixed. The buildings no longer looked like a pile of ruins.
Today, the three warships led by Admiral Aokiji finally returned to base.
Many in the Marine Headquarters already knew about Aokiji's mission. After all, the followers of the Dream Crew had gathered at the edge of the New World without even trying to hide it—almost like they were announcing their arrival.
The Marines wouldn't risk going after the Dream Crew, but those other pirates who hadn't officially joined them yet? Those were fair game.
That's why Aokiji had been sent out.
Sengoku was worried the Dream Crew would bring those pirates under their wing, which would make the crew even stronger.
That was something the World Government absolutely didn't want to see.
But now Aokiji had just gone there and come back. Not only had he not caught any pirates, he actually watched more than ten pirate crews leave freely.
Akainu was furious.
"Kuzan, this is not how Marines should act! You let all those pirates go," Akainu yelled at him the moment Aokiji returned.
