Chapter 487 Aokiji: Is there justice in your life?
"Hey, Kuzan, what are you doing?"

Seeing Lu Li and Barrett separated and the fighting situation eased a little, Kizaru stepped back and looked at Kuzan.

The main reason was that Kuzan had just used his ability to freeze Barrett, otherwise Barrett's already inflexible body agility would have been greatly reduced, and he would not have been made a fool of by Lu Li.

"All pirates are the same, right? Or do you think we really need to cooperate with him?"

Kuzan exhaled a breath of cold air, "Barrett will destroy Eggman Island."

Kuzan's words brought Kizaru back to his senses. He actually knew in his heart that Barrett's presence here was most likely the work of the Admiral of the Navy. It would be a lie to say that he didn't feel uncomfortable cooperating with pirates, but Kizaru conceded that the other party was of the same nature as the Seven Warlords of the Sea and could barely tolerate it.

But Aokiji is different. He has retired from the navy. If he still wants to uphold the justice in his heart, then he doesn't need to care about the rules and regulations of the World Government.

Furthermore, what Aokiji said is also true. Barrett is too reckless. He will probably destroy Egghead Island before Lu Li, and Vegapunk will also die then.

Bloopers~Bloopers~Bloopers~

Just as Kizaru was struggling with his feelings, the Den Den Mushi in his arms rang, and after it was connected, Rafael's voice rang out, "Kizaru, don't hesitate, think about your position, kill Lu Li first, he is the biggest threat to the World Government."

Lu Li also heard Rafael's voice and was immediately amused. "Hey, Admiral, it's easy for you to talk without any pain. Is cooperating with Barrett your confidence to deal with me?"

He made it clear, which made the navy people even more uncomfortable. Kizaru frowned when he heard it.

Rafar was also very upset when he heard Lu Li's words, mainly because Barrett was too stupid. If Barrett had said nothing, this incident would not have happened. As a result, he now has to make a phone call to calm Kizaru down.

If he had not been in any position to talk to Aokiji, he would have even wanted to brainwash Kuzan again, because it was obvious that this guy Kuzan had begun to have "evil thoughts".

Even a reckless man like Lu Li could see this, so Lu Li took advantage of the situation and after exchanging punches with Barrett, he said to Kuzan: "Hey, Kuzan, I don't know what you heard before, but I didn't come to Egghead Island to kill people. I just want to ask Dr. Vegapunk to join the cause of true justice."

"True justice?"

Kuzan was a little confused. He used his observation Haki to sense Eggman Island, "But all of Vegapunk's clones have been killed. Is this true justice?"

Lu Li dodged Barrett's attack with ease and sneered, "I said I was here to hire someone. Why would I destroy the doctor's clone? Use your experience to think about who wiped out Vegapunk's clone, and who is hunting Vegapunk."

He said this not only to Aokiji, but also to Kizaru.

Although Lu Li's combat power was enough to handle the current situation, he knew that if Rafar wanted to deal with him, he would not be so naive as to think that a Barrett alone could handle him, so the other party must have a backup plan.

It would always be a good idea for him to conserve some strength, and if he could persuade Aokiji to defect, they would have an additional powerful force.

"Don't listen to him, he's a pirate!"

Rafael's voice came through the Den Den Mushi, seemingly reminding Aokiji, but actually reminding Kizaru.

But language is often powerless. When seeing the pacifists and Seraphs destroyed on the island, Kizaru and Aokiji would immediately think that Lu Li was killing people on Egghead Island.

But if they think about it carefully, they will find that Lu Li has not yet infiltrated the research institute. The Seraphim and the Pacifists are always manipulated by someone to attack Lu Li, so who is actually controlling these war machines?

If someone is controlling these things, and Vegapunk's clones are all dead, who killed Vegapunk's clones?

This matter does not stand up to scrutiny. Those who can become admirals are considered to have high IQs in the world of One Piece. If you think about it carefully, you will find that Lu Li had no chance to take action at all. So the death of Vegapunk's clone before Lu Li took action can only be... the work of the World Government.

The answer is cruel, but it seems particularly true.

No one knows the World Government's style of doing things better than Kizaru and Aokiji. When considering the possibility that Lu Li might take Vegapunk away, the World Government will definitely strike first.

"Kuzan, can't you see the reality? What kind of place is the World Government you once served?"

Lu Li continued to attack, "The Demon Killing Order eliminated O'Hara, and people want to know the truth of history. Is this an unforgivable crime? Doesn't this just show that the dark side of the World Government does not want people to know?"

He teased Barrett while saying, "Why was Rafar able to become a marshal? Was it just because he could beat you? Why did a lieutenant general get promoted to marshal? It's because he was a good dog of the Celestial Dragons. You were hunted down and killed just because you left your job out of frustration. Is that reasonable?"

Every word Lu Li said was like a pearl of wisdom, and every sentence was like an arrow piercing Kuzan's heart.

He knew in his heart that the world government had been rotten to the core, and had been rotten from the beginning.

After the Battle of Marineford that day, he was nominated by Sengoku to be the next marshal. In fact, Aokiji himself wanted to refuse because he had too many confusions in his heart at the time and was somewhat lost about the future.

He thought that he was not fit to be a marshal, but considering Borsalino's character, he could only accept the appointment reluctantly.

But just when he was about to take up the post of the new Admiral of the Navy, Rafar suddenly showed up and inexplicably became his competitor.

Aokiji himself has no obsession with the position of the Navy Admiral, but he does not want to give this position to Rafar, only because he feels that Rafar is a weird person, and his actions in the Battle of Marineford also make people doubt his true purpose.

That's why there was the subsequent Punk Hazard War, but unfortunately, he was defeated by Rafar and had to give up the position of Marshal.

But until he was defeated and lost his limbs, he was not really discouraged and was still a general.

While recuperating, he recalled what Whitebeard said during the Battle of Marineford, and how Sengoku seemed to be very taboo about it at the time, so out of curiosity, he did a little research while recuperating.

With the authority of a naval admiral, it is not difficult to find some secret information. You won't know until you check, and you'll be shocked when you do.

The truth behind the God Valley incident is that the Celestial Dragons’ entertainment activity of destroying a country in three years, but the God Valley incident had such a huge impact that it was later stopped.

Before that, this cruel entertainment activity had been going on for who knows how long, over the past eight hundred years.

He resigned in despair because he investigated the matter and learned the truth. Otherwise, even if he had broken his hands and feet, it would not affect his combat effectiveness and he would still be qualified to be a navy admiral.

But after learning about those dark things, he really couldn't be a sailor anymore, as it went against the justice in his heart.

He even felt that his former mentor was much uglier.

Garp has been teaching him to be a just marine, but what exactly is "justice"?
Is justice to rely on the powerful navy to force member states to pay gold, and to hunt the people of non-member states for entertainment?
Is justice just to serve as a dog for those celestial dragons who occupy positions but do nothing, and to fawn on them and help them oppress the people and collect slaves?
Is justice to know all the filth of the World Government and yet still act like a vice admiral and a naval hero in public?
Aokiji didn't understand, so he resigned from the navy, but he didn't expect Rafael to be more ruthless than he thought. As soon as he left, he sent people to hunt him down. If it weren't for Kizaru's help, he would have died in the sea.

Every word Tianzai said was full of wisdom. All the things in the past came to his mind, and Kuzan's blank eyes gradually showed some spirit.

He still didn't know what true justice was, but he was certain that the current world government... was definitely not justice!

"Hey, Kuzan..."

Kizaru opened his mouth with a complicated expression, wanting to say something but unable to think of what to say.

Because he also figured out the key to the matter. The one who wanted to kill Vegapunk was not Lu Li, but the World Government.

Even though Vegapunk could survive now as long as Lu Li could be repelled because of their arrival, the fact that they had to kill Vegapunk in the previous emergency situation had become a thorn in everyone's throat.

In the holy land of Marijoa, Rafar's forehead veins exposed when he saw this scene. He wanted to say, Lu Li, you are so damn lucky, aren't you?
To be honest, Aokiji's visit to Egghead Island today was just a coincidence. If Aokiji hadn't come, things wouldn't have become so complicated.

Now he can't stop Lu Li from inciting Aokiji to rebel. The bad thing is that after Aokiji is incited to rebel, Kizaru's position will also be affected.

And he has already scolded the stupid Gofia a thousand times. How could you, a fifth-level explorer, fail in killing a powerless scientist?

Yes, Rafar never regretted his decision to kill Vegapunk. If Goffia could kill Vegapunk easily and neatly, this drama would not have happened.

Because the dead cannot speak, he directly put the blame on Lu Li. How could Lu Li refute in such a tense battle?

The reason he feels uncomfortable now is that Vegapunk is not dead yet. He may jump out and reveal the truth at any time. Then it will be useless for him to say anything now. Kizaru and Aokiji will be suspicious, and once Vegapunk shows up, everything will be over.

"Lu Li, is the place where you stand just and righteous?"

Kuzan seemed to have figured something out, his eyes bright, and as he spoke, the awakened ability of the fruit interfered with reality, freezing a large area and restricting Barrett's movements.

Lu Li stood on the ice mist, "Justice? I don't have the final say. Come and see for yourself. If you think it does not conform to your sense of justice, you can leave. Pirates are free like this."

"Pirates?"

Kuzan's tone was inexplicable. As an admiral, he certainly knew what kind of organization the Beasts Pirates were in the New World. Rather than pirates, they were more like a ruling group in the New World.

The Beasts Pirates have long stopped doing things like looting, smashing, and burning. It is said that they have a very good reputation in the countries of the New World, and the people's happiness index in the countries ruled by the Beasts Pirates is very high.

"If it's a pirate like you, it wouldn't be a bad idea to give it a try."

Kuzan spoke up.

If you can't find true justice as a sailor, then try being a pirate.

boom--

Huge icebergs surged, and icebergs thousands of meters high grew out of the ground like spears, freezing Barrett inside.

"Kuzan you..."

Kizaru had a complicated expression, knowing that he had parted ways with his former colleagues. Unlike Akainu, he and Aokiji were not good friends, but they did have some friendship as colleagues.

Now that he saw that the other party had completely sided with the pirates, he naturally had mixed emotions. He felt even more uncomfortable when he thought that the original intention of the World Government in sending him here might not be the so-called "rescue of Vegapunk".

As a veteran in the workplace, how could Kizaru not see through Rafael's true intentions? If what Lu Li said was true, then the World Government ordered the killing of Vegapunk, and Rafael was just trying to keep himself calm.

If the battle situation is not right and they are sure that they cannot defeat Lu Li, Rafar might give the real order, which is not to rescue Vegapunk, but to kill Vegapunk and then retreat.

"It's so troublesome——"

With a roar, Barrett shattered Aokiji's iceberg and escaped from it.

He used the power of the Fusion Fruit to further expand, and fully released his Conqueror's Haki, causing the air to tremble. "One by one, you keep nagging in my ears..."

He punched forward, and the force of his fist not only covered Lu Li, but also Aokiji and Kizaru, "Come on together! I'm going to kill you all!"

boom--

Amid the roar, a wave of metal sand and gravel rose into the sky above Egghead Island. Barrett had obviously gone berserk due to Lu Li's humiliation and Aokiji's control, and wanted to destroy everything he saw.

Kuzan was not panicked when he saw this. In his awakened state, he walked through the ice and continuously released ice spears at Barrett.

"This line sounds familiar."

Lu Li's figure flashed and landed on the shoulder of the combined giant again. "But it's a bit strange when you say it."

As he spoke, he slashed out with his sword again, attacking the weak point and cutting off one of the giant's arms.

Kizaru was in a complicated mood at the moment. He couldn't attack Lu Li, nor could he attack Barrett, and even less could he attack Kuzan. For a moment, he just stood there and didn't take any action.

In the distance, Rafar saw this scene through surveillance and felt very upset.

He knew that Barrett was completely out of control. In this state, Barrett was being toyed with by Lu Li and Aokiji, and his defeat was only a matter of time.

There is no unbreakable fortress in the world. After Barrett's tankiness showed a flaw, Lu Li caught his true form with just one or two sword strikes.

In order to prevent the situation from getting worse, he had to make a decision.

With this in mind, he took a deep breath and entered the throne room.
