Chapter 477 Did Kizaru not kill him?
Chapter 477 Did Kizaru not kill him?
Although Sengoku wanted to believe that Kizaru was lying, he found no reason to question Kizaru's actions.
While Kizaru is indeed somewhat lazy and doesn't care much about many things, he doesn't slack off when it comes to his own strength and the Navy's missions. He's different from Aokiji.
In other words, what Kizaru said is probably true.
However, this result was difficult for the Warring States period to accept.
He could not accept that someone had defeated an admiral, one of the two strongest admirals in naval history.
What can you do if you can't accept it?
After a long while, Sengoku looked at Kizaru and said with a wry smile, "I thought you would win, or at least not lose."
"I didn't expect that I underestimated that guy's strength. If what you said is true, it means that Ye Yu's strength has become terrifying to an unimaginable degree."
"Because he won, and it seems he didn't even use his full strength."
That's the scariest part. If Yoru loses, everything will be fine, because losing means that Yoru's strength ceiling won't exceed Kizaru's.
But since Ye Yu won, his strength can be imagined indefinitely and can be exaggerated with reason and evidence.
In all the time that has passed in the world of One Piece, there has never been a single Marine Admiral who has explicitly lost to a pirate.
Not to mention Kizaru, who even Sengoku would have to admit is one of the strongest admirals in naval history, along with Akainu.
Even at his peak, Sengoku's strength was inferior to Kizaru's.
This can actually be seen from the Battle of Marineford.
When Whitebeard appeared, the three admirals were not at a disadvantage in their battle against him, and even seemed to be toying with him.
But Sengoku kept praising Whitebeard's strength, making it seem absurd that Sengoku was on the pirate side.
The most outrageous thing is that he, a Marine Fleet Admiral and former Marine Admiral, actually failed to kill Luffy with a single punch.
They were even looked down upon by Blackbeard, which was utterly humiliating. A Fleet Admiral was not as intimidating as a Marine Admiral.
So, the fact that Kizaru actually lost to Yoru was, in Sengoku's eyes, like the sky had fallen.
How could Kizaru possibly lose?
The Warring States period could not accept this outcome under any circumstances.
Garp, who was standing to the side, stopped eating his senbei and his face darkened along with Sengoku's.
Kizaru didn't seem worried at all, after all, he quite admired Yoru.
Not to mention that Yoru has not acted in the name of a pirate so far.
At most, he'll be wanted by the navy; the crimes he committed don't even qualify him for entry into Impel Down.
In Kizaru's view, Yoru wasn't a criminal at all; the World Government simply wanted him because they felt his actions had provoked them.
Most importantly, he felt that Ye Yu had many opportunities to kill him during their battles.
But Ye Yu didn't, and didn't even try to hurt him.
It's really weird to say this out loud. Someone who has been at sea for less than a year actually has the ability to kill a naval admiral.
Who would believe it if I told them?
For a moment, the entire office fell silent.
Sengoku and Garp could not accept the fact that Kizaru had lost.
Sengoku was under the most pressure; he didn't know how to report to the Five Elders.
He was a Fleet Admiral, yet a Navy Admiral lost to a criminal, and one that even the Five Elders were closely watching.
At first, I just thought that Yoru's potential was greater than that of the Pirate King Roger.
But now it seems that it's not just potential; Yoru's strength has already surpassed that of the Pirate King Roger.
Roger's strength was similar to Whitebeard's; he, Garp, Sengoku, Shiki, and Whitebeard were all from the same era.
Roger became the Pirate King not because he was much stronger than others, but simply because he found the final island.
Whitebeard had no interest in finding the final island or becoming the Pirate King.
Golden Lion wanted to become the King of the World and rule the entire world, not just the Pirate King.
Garp and Sengoku are even less likely to become Pirate Kings; they are Marines, so how could they possibly become Pirate Kings?
Kizaru's strength is definitely above Garp and Sengoku. Even at their peak, neither of them could defeat Kizaru, let alone now that they are in their declining years.
Garp's strength hasn't declined significantly because he's been fighting on the front lines for many years. Although his stamina has decreased, his combat experience has compensated for it to some extent, so his overall strength hasn't dropped much.
However, since Sengoku was promoted to Fleet Admiral, he has stayed at the Navy Headquarters and has not gone out to carry out missions much.
Their strength has waned beyond belief.
Compared to Kizaru, they are not even in the same league.
Although Kizaru usually tries to avoid being idle, he will definitely complete any mission he is given.
Yoru's ability to defeat Kizaru means that Yoru has an even more terrifying influence than Roger.
I'm afraid the Five Elders are going to have a headache. If they have a headache, then I, as the Fleet Admiral, will definitely be under some pressure.
After a long while, Sengoku stood up and sighed, "Fortunately, not many people know about this. I don't think Ye Yu would spread it around, given his personality."
Because it happened on Skypiea, and Kizaru went there alone.
No one knew about their battle.
The Warring States period intended to conceal this matter, as the consequences would be far too great if it were to be exposed.
The Warring States period absolutely did not want this matter to be publicized.
Kizaru thought about it and did not object.
He knew that given Ye Yu's personality, she wouldn't actively spread the word.
Garp frowned, but didn't say anything, even though he felt that it made the Navy seem petty.
But this matter is of utmost importance and must not be publicized.
Soon, the Warring States period made a decision.
The Warring States period arrived at the Holy Land of Mary Geoise.
Although he didn't want the news of Kizaru's defeat by Yoru to be publicized, he had to report it to the Five Elders.
Let the Five Elders decide how to handle Ye Yu's situation.
Sengoku once again arrived at the Five Elders' meeting hall.
When the Five Elders saw Sengoku arrive, they knew he must have come for Yoru's sake.
This is the only thing that could make him come here in person.
When Zhan Guo entered the conference hall, he saw the five people sitting on the sofa in the hall.
I wonder if these five people spend all their time here posing.
Every time the Warring States period came here, these five people would be here, and they would all strike various poses.
Sengoku thought to himself, "This is what I'm complaining about."
However, after he walked in, he looked at the group and said, "There's news about Ye Yu."
The five elders remained calm, as if they had already guessed the outcome.
Saturn spoke first, laughing, "That guy Kizaru probably didn't kill Yoru, did he?"
"Hehehe, that guy is always like this. Unless it's a sure thing, he won't kill his opponent even if he defeats them."
