Chapter 267: Marine’s Perspective and Destination

__________ POV Narration __________

Enel yawned as the voices around his table continued arguing and bickering like children.

'I guess that, at some point in our lives, we do all revert to being children...'

Big Mom continued to throw random jabs at the Marines, seemingly enjoying their reactions. Akainu was especially livid as he considered Big Mom scum, but he couldn't harm her as they were currently allies.

Enel looked at the two of them with a rather conflicted gaze.

Akainu was not going to be an extremist when it came to his Justice. It was Absolute Justice at the end of the day.

His hate for pirates like Big Mom ran deeper than anything in the world. The only difference was that he now saw the difference between pirates like Big Mom and the Strawhats.

It was a combination of Enel and Aokiji's influence on him, as well as the fact that he was no longer blind to the many flaws of the World Government.

The Magma User was still very much inclined to slay any pirates, but he now understood that some people got the title of pirate just because the World Government couldn't control them.

It was a rather disheartening discovery for Akainu. Finding out that his fists had been pointed at the wrong people so many times.

After all, Ohara was not the only example of the World Government harming others.Fiind updated novels at novelhall.com

Akainu and the Marines had gone along and allowed the World Nobles and Government to do a lot of despicable things.

From assisting in enslaving and killing off entire races to committing mass murder on their behalf on multiple occasions.

The marines in general, the admirals and Fleet Admirals specifically, were more than complicit to those crimes.

This fact was among the things that enabled Akainu to work together with Pirates.

It was a stray thought that happened upon his head at some point. In fact, it happened upon the heads of most of the marines present at Enel's round table.

'How have we been better than pirates all these years?'

If anything, pirates like Whitebeard had done a lot more good in the world than someone like Akainu and Kizaru.

It was sickening, now that they had this new perspective they couldn't help but see the arbitrary and downright evil ways of the government.

They were never fighting for justice, no they were just working constantly for the World Government's interest, to maintain and expand its power whenever needed.

The Marines were nothing more than a tool. And Akain was mad at that realization.

"I would tend to agree... But it seems that fate had other plans..." Enel immediately stood up, he felt something finally reaching the limit of his radar far into the distance.

Before anyone at the table could ask him what he meant by his words, he vanished, turning into a spark and flowing through the clouds, reappearing far into the distance and right above the structure he had felt.

Egghead. Or rather, what remained of it.

It was similar to a cracked shell, with the naked eye, Enel could deduce that more than half the island had been erased.

'It wasn't like this before...' Enel had activated his awakened state for training around two or three weeks back. And Egghead appeared normal.

But now there was almost nothing left of the previously sprawling and technologically advanced city.

"No sign of life... Well, this is quite... Concerning."

In an instant, Enel's heartbeat thundered and his eyes lit up and sparked with lightning.

The tattoo on his back shined through his white coat, and the wheel of drums manifested behind him.

His senses spread out far and wide, his mind bombarded with countless streams of consciousness, new information too digest.

It all would have been way too overwhelming, but his awakened state allowed hm to think at inconceivable speeds, allowing him to study that information carefully.

After a few seconds, with his radar spreading far and wide, he smiled.

'The Strawhats seem to be just fine... And it seems that the Vegapunks are with them. Seems Vegapunk managed to transfer most of his brain on the Strawhat Ship at least.'

But Enel couldn't help but notice something rather important.

York, Vegapunk's Greed. was missing. And the Seraphims were also missing.

There was no trace of any remains within Egghead. Not a whisper of a soul there.

'Well then, this complicates things a bit. At least the Strawhats and Vegapunks are safe for the most part... Better let the others know about this as well.'
