Chapter 39: Responsibility and Absolute Justice

Chapter 39: Responsibility and Absolute Justice

__________ POV Narration__________

To say that Akainu was angry, would be a gross understatement. He was beyond livid.

He may have had his disagreements with Enel, but he didn't for one second doubt the word of his fellow marine.

He would always believe a marine over a pirate. He didn't like the Warlords in the first place, to him it was a stupid system that needed to be abolished as soon as possible.

Besides, he could feel it from Enel's tone, the seriousness of the situation. To the point where Enel would go against their orders and kill Doflamingo regardless of what Akainu's answer was.

Akainu respected that. Even if he didn't like disrespecting orders, he could respect that. An unbending sense of justice, and the will to carry it out regardless of punishments.

So, he decided that, for now, he would push his disagreements aside, and that he would help his junior with the backlash.

"SENGOKU!" Akainu's angry shout was heard throughout Marineford, scaring a lot of people as the Admiral made his way down to the training field, where he knew Sengoku was supposed to be.

By the time he reached it, he could see that most of the people there had been expecting him. The marines were all looking at him worriedly. And Sengoku, who had been apparently sparing with Garp was looking at him with a bit of frustration in his gaze.

"Fleet Admiral Sengoku! We have a report that Warlord Donquixote Doflamingo abused his status and took over the kingdom of Dressrosa, enslaving their royal family for his own amusement!" The scowl on Akainu's face sent a shiver through the spines of most of the people present.

Sengoku looked around a bit with an even more frustrated gaze, this type of news wasn't good to talk about so out in the open after all...

"How credible is this report?!" But the cat was already out of the bag, they needed to get to the bottom of the issue as soon as possible.

"100%, there is nothing to doubt about it!" Akainu said as he walked a bit closer to his superior.

"... SHIT" Sengoku's calm broke at that statement, as he punched the sparring field he was on, the wind pushed back all of the people nearby, besides Akainu, who stood unmoved, and Garp, who was also narrowing his eyes at what he was hearing.

"Give me the details, Akainu. NOW!" Sengoku quickly started walking toward his office, and Akainu and Garp followed suit.

"Enel called you about it just now. He gave me that report and told me what he had discovered. He witnessed Doflamingo attacking a member of their royalty in person." Akainu crossed his arms as he spoke.

It didn't take long for them to reach Sengoku's office, the Fleet Admiral clenched his fists a bit when hearing that Enel was involved.

Garp also clenched his fists a bit, his usual relaxed expression turning into a displeased one for a few seconds.

"Hah! Let them try, see if they dare! Since Sakazuki here is doing it then I'm also gonna dip my hands into this shit pie that we're baking!" Garp ended up saying, he wasn't about to let only Enel and Akainu take slack for that matter. Especially since he fully agreed with their actions.

If Akainu was willing to stick out his neck for Enel, then he sure as hell would support the two of them.

Seeing that both Garp, the famed marine hero, and Akainu, the favourite Admiral of the World Government were supporting Enel, Sengoku could only sigh.

'So much paperwork...'

"Fine! You two will take full responsibility for this and placate the world government! Now we need to wait on Enel to update us..." Sengoku had simply decided to let the situation run its course.

Sengoku was still rather shocked that Akainu was willing to vouch for Enel. Especially after their last few interactions...

Thing is, Akainu didn't even consider that he was sticking up for Enel as an individual.

To him, he was simply supporting a fellow marines' justice. As Marines, they had the right to act and deliver Absolute Justice to all deserving criminals.

Akainu was livid when hearing that such a criminal was under their noses the whole time. He obviously knew that Doflamingo was a rat, but he didn't think he'd dare enslave an entire kingdom's royal family...

To him, if Enel had said that he was retreating, he wouldn't have blamed him, maybe he would have looked down on him a bit, but he wouldn't have blamed him.

He knew that Doflamingo wasn't made a Warlord for no reason. However, regardless of that, he would have rushed to Dressrosa himself and killed the entirety of Doflamingo's crew and Doflamingo himself without any hesitation.

At least he was saved from a pointless journey, and he only needed to deal with the World Government.

Akainu released a rare smile as he walked out of the Fleet Admiral's office.

'That bastard better not let any of these dirty pirates escape...'
