Chapter 40 - Chapter 38 Betting

How can we reveal Aokiji's flaws? A strong man like him has an extremely firm mind.

"Got it!" Amber suddenly thought of a way. In the original story, after losing the competition for Fleet Admiral, Aokiji left the Marines and joined the Blackbeard Pirates.

Although many fans believe that Aokiji is an undercover Marine agent in Blackbeard's crew, it is undeniable that Aokiji does not fully agree with the Marine's sense of justice.

His purpose in vying for the position of Fleet Admiral was likely to reform the Marines according to his own ideas.

From the way he let Robin go, we can see that he is completely different from Akainu, who supports extreme justice that even targets refugee ships.

Amber dismissed Susanoo because it was too physically demanding.

"Why don't you use that skill of yours?" Aokiji asked, puzzled.

Amber remained silent, secretly thinking about how to use Mouth Escape on Aokiji.

"You know what? The first thing I wanted to be was a Marine!" Amber suddenly said.

"Oh!" Aokiji finally dropped his indifferent tone.

"So, I have been attacking pirates since I went to sea. I became a pirate hunter because I wanted to join the Marines based on my merits.

Later, I found out that I was wrong. The so-called just Marines are also corrupt, colluding with pirates and oppressing the people. They even pointed guns at the innocent. This Marine is too different from the Marine I imagined, so I killed a Marine colonel and became the pirate you now call me."

Amber said lightly.

"I have read your file, and I feel very sorry that you became a pirate. It is indeed a loss for the Marines that someone as powerful as you did not join. But do you think you have seen all sides of the Marines? Although there are dark aspects, the Marines are an indispensable part of this world. In this chaotic era of pirates, the Marines are the hope of ordinary people. They have protected civilians from many pirates. As for the scum among the Marines, I can't prevent them, but I will clean them up when I encounter one."

"So, what about Ohara! Was that also to protect the people? You don't agree with this so-called justice, right? Otherwise, why did you let Robin go in the first place?"

Aokiji's eyes narrowed. "It seems you know quite a lot."

"Is Marine justice? Are pirates evil? This concept has been rewritten countless times. People who don't know what peace is and people who don't know what war is have different values. Only those who stand at the top can define good and evil!"

"I admit that in this chaotic era of great pirates, you Marines have protected most people, but how many atrocities have you committed to maintain the World Government's rule?"

Aokiji remained silent.

"Aside from Ohara, after the execution of Pirate King Gol D. Roger, you Marines searched for his pregnant wife in the South Blue and executed many innocent pregnant women. Is this the justice you call Marine? The Sabaody Archipelago has become world-famous as a slave gathering place, where many innocent people were turned into slaves by the Celestial Dragons, destroying families. Is this the justice you call Marine?"

Amber smiled disdainfully.

"You shout about justice, but behind your back, you do things even more disgusting than pirates."

Aokiji's face turned grim. Because Amber deliberately spoke louder, the surrounding Marines also heard Amber's voice.

"Is what this pirate said true? Did we Marines actually do such things?"

"It's most likely true, given that Aokiji Admiral isn't refuting it."

"Impossible, impossible, we are just Marines!!!" Some couldn't accept it and were hysterical.

"What are we doing!... Bang..." Some Marines, whose lifelong goal was Marine justice, even shot themselves.

"What is justice?" Aokiji was also confused about his own sense of justice.

Right now, there is a flaw!

The weird pinwheel pattern in Amber's eyes rotated rapidly, staring closely at Aokiji. Tsukuyomi!!!

Aokiji suddenly found that the scene around him had changed, and he was now on an endless grassland.

Aokiji immediately tried to use his Kenbunshoku Haki to perceive the surroundings, but he couldn't.

Amber's figure suddenly appeared on the grass.

"Is this your move?"

"Aokiji Admiral, you should have known that the Marines are just a department under the World Government. The World Government has long been in decay. How can its departments have the justice you are looking for?"

"So, Thunder Amber, what's your purpose?"

"Let's make a bet!"

"A bet?"

"Twenty years ago, when you let Robin go, didn't you want to see how far she could grow? Now Robin has a group of reliable partners.

Let's bet that without you or me taking action, my friends will rescue Robin. If they do, please stop blocking our way. If we fail to rescue Robin, our end will be just one life,"

Amber said with a smile.

"With your speed, if you want to run, there is nothing I can do. Are you willing to give your life for Nico Robin?" Aokiji asked doubtfully.

"Of course, Robin is our partner!" Amber said firmly.

...

After leaving Tsukuyomi's space, Amber pretended to be knocked away by Aokiji's attack and disappeared in a bolt of lightning.

"Thunder Amber ran away!"

The other Marines were stunned by this operation. The fierce battle just now ended in an instant, which surprised them.

Next, the Marines saw Aokiji Admiral using Moonwalk to chase after Thunder Amber.

"Don't worry! Aokiji Admiral is one of the highest combat forces in the Naval Headquarters.

He will definitely capture the pirates. Let's go inside to help! We just received news that CP9 has almost been defeated.

Kong Yinghai and the rest of the pirate crew are about to reach the Justice Tower."

(Because the other crew members have practiced the Haki training method given by Amber, their strength has greatly improved, especially Zoro.

Additionally, Nami is a Logia fruit user, and the CP9 members do not know Haki.)
