Chapter 823 The Battle of Marshals
"Hahaha! Let's go! Go back to sleep, you frivolous one!"
"Damn it! It's broad daylight now! What if they hear us?"
"What are you afraid of in broad daylight? I won't let them know. Don't you know my abilities? Haha!"
"Then you better be careful this time! I can't bear it, so I didn't allow you to use that ability at the beginning!"
"..."
The two of them chatted obscenely all the way back to their residence, and just as they were about to open the door to have some fun, they heard the sound of a Den Den Mushi in Vic's arms.
The two men stopped and the lustful look on their faces faded a little. Vic knew that any call to him was no small matter, and it was basically something he had instructed them to do, so Vic did not refuse the call because of momentary lust.
The call was from Ben himself, who informed him that the battle for the position of Navy Admiral had begun, the protagonists were still Akainu and Aokiji, and the location was still Punk Hazard.
Wick attaches great importance to the affiliation of the Navy Admiral. If it was before meeting Red Count Redfield, Wick would help Aokiji kill Akainu and let Aokiji become the Navy Admiral. Now that he has such a useful new ability, anyone can be the Navy Admiral!
"Are you leaving again? Can you take me with you?"
Seeing Vic hang up the communicator, Rebecca asked with a little disappointment. From the content of their conversation, she had roughly judged that Vic had left again. They were just about to enjoy the pleasure in the room, but now they had to separate again. Rebecca was reluctant to let him go.
"Yes, but I can't take you with me this time. Time is a bit tight, and this matter is very secret. It's easy to be exposed if I take you with me. But I will be back soon!"
Vic really can't take Rebecca with him. This time the battle between Akainu and Aokiji for the position of marshal is a big event for the navy. Although there will be no navy people watching the battle closely and affecting their performance, there will definitely be a lot of warships outside the island and many high-ranking navy officers will come to witness it.
Someone like Sengoku, the former admiral of the navy, will definitely come. It is uncertain whether Commander-in-Chief Kong and Chief of Staff Tsuru will go, but there is a high probability that they will go. In front of such strong people, it is not easy for Rebecca to hide herself. If she is exposed, it will only cause trouble. So Vic is not going to bring Rebecca this time.
"Well! Then go and come back quickly, don't delay anything!"
Rebecca was still obedient. If Vic didn't let her go, then she wouldn't go. She would just wait for her lover to come back. She was not worried about Vic's safety. After watching the fight between Vic and Barrett, and his performance in escaping the war at the top, it was likely that there was no one who could keep Vic, unless he was surrounded by people of the same level of combat power.
"There's no need to be so anxious. Their battle won't be over in a short while. Let's get down to business first!"
If the information in the original work was not released intentionally by the navy, then Akainu and Aokiji would have fought for ten days and ten nights, and it is still too early now.
If that news was just released deliberately by the navy to enhance the status of the navy admirals, it would not be a big deal. Titan Island is not very far from Punk Hazard. With Vic's current speed, he could get there in a short while.
After all, both of them are admirals whose abilities restrain each other. It is impossible for them to fight for one day and be done with it, right? The difference in strength is too big. This possibility is very small. Aokiji is still very strong, no matter the fruit ability or Haki, after all, he was trained by Garp.
So for Vic, one or two days wouldn't matter. After saying that, Vic hugged Rebecca and went into the house. After a while, an uncontrollable low moan was heard in the house, but before the sound could be transmitted outside the house, it was offset by an invisible wave.
......
Vic and Rebecca spent two days together before leaving Titan Island alone. Of course, they didn't stay in the house doing their love things the whole time, because if they did that, Rebecca would definitely be laughed to death by Wendy and the others.
But even if they only did it at night, she would still be teased by Wendy, but that night Vic helped Rebecca get revenge.
When Wick arrived at Punk Hazard, Aokiji and Akainu were fighting fiercely. Relying on the awakening power of their fruits, the two completely changed the environment of the island. It is no exaggeration to say that it is like ice and fire. This makes it easier for each of them to use their abilities to fight and reduce their own consumption!
There were many warships patrolling around the island to prevent pirates from causing trouble and also to wait for the final result. Vic was quietly floating in the sky, looking down at the battle below. No one noticed him so far up in the sky, and even his observation Haki could not sense his existence!
Judging from their combat performance, Aokiji and Akainu are almost equal in strength. Both of them are fighting with all their strength. Their freezing and magma abilities restrain each other. Both of them have developed to the awakening level. The outcome is indeed not something that can be determined in a short time. In the end, it all depends on personal will and belief!
The battle did not last ten days and ten nights, but it did last five days and five nights. In the end, Akainu, who was more determined and wanted to get to the top more, won by a slight margin!
Aokiji is not very interested in the Navy Admiral, he just doesn't want someone with Akainu's ideas to become the Navy Admiral. Plus, he doesn't want to disappoint Sengoku's recommendation, so he came forward. However, his goal is not to become the Navy Admiral, so he lost to Akainu who was determined to get promoted. The two have different mentalities!
At the end of the fight, both were exhausted, even their Haki was depleted, and with the last move, both sides' abilities hit each other, and without the defense of Haki, both were hit.
Because of the characteristics of his ability, one of Aokiji's legs was burned by lava on the spot, and part of Akainu's body was also frozen by ice. If it is not handled properly, or Akainu falls down, his frozen body will be shattered. However, as long as he does not fall and the subsequent treatment is proper, his body will not be damaged. There are navy stationed outside the island, so it seems that Akainu will not encounter any accidents!
Aokiji, who lost a leg, lost a lot of blood and was exhausted, so he had no power to resist. In contrast, Akainu was able to launch a fatal blow.
It's just a competition among colleagues for the position of marshal. There's no need to make enemies and kill them all. As long as they win in the end, it's enough. Now Akainu is standing and Aokiji is lying, the winner is already obvious, so Akainu didn't make any more moves!
In fact, the gap in strength between Aokiji and Akainu is very small, but will and belief have a great impact on the battle. In this battle, Aokiji can be said to have lost because of his will and belief. If he changed his position and his goal, it is still unknown who will win and who will lose.
Don't even compare strength with the bounty. Even though Akainu later became the Admiral of the Navy and was offered a bounty of 5 billion berries by the Cross Union, which was the highest bounty in the Navy, it still doesn't mean that he is the strongest in the Navy!
Bounties are never based on strength alone. This is true for the navy and pirates. No one's strength can be affected by a change in position. Who says that Akainu as a marshal is definitely stronger than Akainu as an admiral? What's the basis for that?
The only reason he became stronger was because of his own practice, and it had nothing to do with his promotion. If someone lost their position, wouldn't they become stronger? This logic was definitely wrong, so when talking about strength, there was no need to bring up positions or bounties. In the end, we had to fight to know.
Just like the battle between Akainu and Aokiji, if Akainu is really much stronger than Aokiji, why did the fight last so long? The greater the difference in strength, the faster the battle should end, and vice versa. Whether it is ten days and ten nights or five days and five nights, the time is not short, so the difference in strength between Aokiji and Akainu is really small.
"Vic! Why are you here? What are you doing?"
There was a flash of lightning on the ground, and soon Vic's body was condensed out. Aokiji, who was lying on the ground with tired eyes and a hint of pain, propped up his upper body and asked uneasily!
He knew that Wick and Akainu had a grudge against each other, and he came here when both of them were injured. He definitely did not come with good intentions. No matter what the grudge between Wick and Akainu was, he and Akainu were both navy and on the same front. He could not just watch Wick kill someone, otherwise he would not be able to get over it.
"You'd better take care of yourself. Your legs are broken. I'll stop the bleeding for you first."
Vic ignored Akainu, and Akainu didn't make any other moves. He just stood there looking at Vic and the other man. He knew that in his current condition, if Vic really wanted to kill him, he would not be able to escape even if he wanted to. Even if someone was rushing here, it would be too late to rescue him.
He had fought with Vic before and knew Vic's strength and speed. He was too late! So he just looked at Vic and Aokiji coldly. He suspected that the two of them had colluded to ensure Kuzan's success.
"Kuzan! Are you interested in becoming a Marine Admiral? If you want to do it, I will help you kill Sakaski and help you take the position right now!"
Vic walked up to Aokiji and pointed a finger at his broken leg. The blood flowing there stopped instantly. Vic did not use acupoint pressing to stop the bleeding, as that was too mysterious and could not stop the bleeding completely.
Vic used scientific methods and just used his ability to speed up the process. The wound there did not heal, it just stopped bleeding. Once Aokiji recovered his strength, he would be able to use his ability to stop the bleeding and wait for recovery.
