Chapter 313 – Akainu’s Warship Sinks!
In the next moment, Akainu’s eyes sharpened like a hawk, locking straight onto Ryuen, who was clearly enjoying his misfortune.
"Are you involved in this?" Akainu asked in a cold, heavy voice, staring straight at Ryuen.
"Oh come on, Fleet Admiral Akainu, don’t blame the wrong guy!" Ryuen said with an innocent look on his face. "I just feel a little happy seeing our great Fleet Admiral getting put in his place, that’s all."
He put extra emphasis on the words "Fleet Admiral."
Akainu, of course, picked up on the mockery in Ryuen’s tone. His expression instantly turned a mix of dark colors, like an angry chameleon.
Ryuen didn’t admit anything, but Akainu still felt like he had something to do with it.
Kuzan was smart, sure, but there was no record of him ever knowing anyone strong enough to match an Admiral. And this person they just fought—Marine had never even heard of them before.
The only explanation was that Kuzan met him recently.
But even now, Marine’s intel system had found nothing about it.
Which meant Kuzan had help.
"Sakazuki, we should get going," Kizaru said at the right moment. "The front half of the New World is unstable right now. It’s better to settle the Admiral situation quickly."
Hearing Kizaru’s words brought Akainu back to focus. Marine really did need to pick their next Admiral soon.
