One Piece : I resurrected Gol D Roger! Chapter 446-450

Chapter 446—Whitebeard, long time no see!

The Whitebeard Pirates were once the overlords of the New World. Even the other powerful Four Emperors did not dare to provoke them rashly and could only do things stealthily in secret.

But even though they had experienced countless storms, when they saw the mighty military formations and the military fortresses that stretched like mountains below, they couldn't help but take a deep breath.

They were shocked.

Many of them have never seen the NEO Navy's army.

Forget about the Whitebeard and Ace who were buried in the mud before.

But even Marco, who has been guarding Whitebeard's hometown, has never had the chance to see the heroic scenes of the NEO New Navy fighting in battles.

Because the island was so poor that they couldn't even afford a video-receiving Den Den Mushi.

Therefore, they were not able to watch the G1 battle that shocked the world through the video Den Den Mushi.

All their information can only be obtained from the newspapers of Newsbird.

And now, witnessing this mighty and majestic army with their own eyes, they finally understood why the NEO New Navy was able to rise to power in less than a year.

It had defeated Navy Headquarters, raised the banner of justice, and established itself as the dominant force in the new world.

The overwhelming, bloodthirsty aura that surged into the sky, the perfectly synchronized movements, and the burning determination in their eyes made them appear flawless.

Compared to them, the loosely organized Four Emperors pirate crews seemed utterly outclassed.

"How terrifying! Is this the new NEO navy?"

Ace muttered in astonishment.

Marco on the side smiled bitterly and said:

"No wonder they have such strong combat power. If the pirates also had such strict discipline, they would have captured the Marine Headquarters long ago."

Whitebeard sighed and said to Liu Feng,
"You're making such a fuss. Unifying the New World isn't as simple as you think."
"Are you planning to overthrow the World Government?"

His last sentence carried a teasing tone, but Liu Feng's response left him stunned.

"What's so surprising about that?" Liu Feng replied, a confident smirk on his face.

Whitebeard stared at him in disbelief.
"You seriously intend to overthrow the World Government!?" he suddenly exclaimed.

Liu Feng smiled mysteriously and did not answer.

Sometimes, silence was the best response.

Whitebeard took a deep breath, trying to suppress the unease rising within him.

"Heh, Newgate, I never expected to see you surprised," a voice came from behind. The Golden Lion floated over, patting Whitebeard's shoulder.

Whitebeard rolled his eyes. "And you're not?"

The Golden Lion chuckled. "Well, I've gotten used to it."

But even as he said that, it felt somewhat embarrassing.

Ever since he met Liu Feng, he had been in a constant state of shock. No matter what it was, there seemed to be nothing Liu Feng couldn’t accomplish.

His worldview had been completely overturned.

Overthrowing the World Government—an idea most wouldn’t even dare to entertain—was nothing more than a passing remark to Liu Feng.

By now, the Golden Lion had grown numb to it.

If Liu Feng were to suddenly declare that he intended to become the king of the world, the Golden Lion wouldn’t even hesitate—he would simply believe he could make it happen.

Just as Whitebeard was stunned, the huge floating island slowly broke through the clouds and was descending towards the G1 headquarters below.

At the same time, at G1 Headquarters,

Nearly 100,000 NEO Navy elites looked up at the sky, their faces filled with joy.

No orders were needed.

One by one, they stopped what they were doing, sheathed their weapons, and dropped to one knee.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

The thunderous sound of knees striking the ground echoed like a hailstorm.

Looking around, countless figures in black military uniforms knelt solemnly, stretching as far as the eye could see—like a vast, surging black tide.

"—Welcome back, Fleet Admiral Liu Feng!"

The next moment, under the shocked gazes of the Whitebeard Pirates thousands of NEO new navy shouted towards the sky at the same time.

The eyes were fanatical.

The sheer force of their unified movement shook the clouds and echoed through the sky like a tidal wave.

A cold smile formed on Liu Feng’s lips as he took a slow step forward.

He said nothing. Instead, he simply raised his hand in a solemn, standard military salute.

Swish!

Thousands of hands shot up in unison—paying the highest respect to their Fleet Admiral.

As he landed on the floating island, the NEO Navy slowly parted, creating a path.

From within the crowd, a towering figure with purple hair strode forward.

His massive mechanical arm radiated the aura of iron, blood, and war.

"Hahaha!!"

"Whitebeard! It’s been a long time!"

A hearty laugh escaped his lips.

"Gurarara!!"

"Zephyr, to be more precise, it’s been a long time since we last fought, wouldn’t you agree?"

Chapter 447—Akainu is really a man who can do great things.

"Zephyr, to be more precise, it’s been a long time since we last fought, wouldn’t you agree?"

Hearing Whitebeard's words, the corners of the mouths of the other people present couldn't help but twitch.

Just get over it, you two monsters.

They were really going to be a fight.

They guessed the island where the G1 headquarters was located could be demolished by their fight.

"Yeah, now that I think about it, it seems like we haven't even decided the winner in that fight."

Zephyr said with a smile, but there was no hostility in his eyes.

The Whitebeard Pirates have completely declined and cannot possibly become an obstacle to the new NEO Navy.

Most importantly, he understood clearly in his heart:

Whitebeard was not a wicked man.

As one of the Four Emperors, he rarely engaged in plunder. The territories under his command were more peaceful than those of the World Government's member states.

Whitebeard let out a great laugh, looking up to the sky.

"Gulala!!"

"So, you're still upset that I didn’t send your fleet to the bottom of the sea, huh?"

Zephyr smiled and shook his head.

His sight slowly shifted to behind Whitebeard.

Marco, Ace, and other squad captains all nodded respectfully with smiles on their faces.

They knew Zephyr's identity.

It was clear that, for this man,

Even as a proud father, Whitebeard had expressed his approval and admiration.

It wasn't because of his immense strength, but because of his unwavering belief.

Dad rarely praised anyone. Even among the Four Emperors, to him, they were just a group of children playing pretend.

Black Arm Zephyr was also a legend in his own right.

"It seems that Liu Feng has helped you revive the crew members."

Zephyr turned his attention to Whitebeard again and smiled.

Whitebeard nodded.

"Yeah, it's not bad to see my family again."

His tone was grateful.

Zephyr looked around the crowd and suddenly frowned.

"Where's that fellow Roger?"

Whitebeard's face froze, but he didn't know how to explain.

Liu Feng smiled and continued:

"He had a quarrel with his own son and ran out to relax."

Zephyr suddenly realized, glanced at the young figure of Ace, and sighed in his heart.

‘It's this little devil.’

The war on the seas had begun.

It marked the end of the Whitebeard Pirates, and the struggle for dominance in the New World had been thrown into complete chaos.

Now, seeing Ace once more, this turbulent era had been brought to calm by their new NEO Navy.

In just over two years, the world had undergone such profound and unexpected changes.

He had learned much about Roger’s incident, but as an outsider, there was little he could do.

All he could do was wait patiently, allowing time to heal the cracks and wounds between father and son..

As for Roger going away alone, he was not worried.

With his strength, he would not encounter any problems unless he was foolish enough to challenge the Marine Headquarters alone.

So Zephyr slowly stretched out his hand towards Whitebeard.

"Welcome to our headquarters."

A smile crossed his face.

Whitebeard was momentarily stunned.

He extended his hand in response.

Their hands gripped firmly, a symbolic gesture.

It was a historic moment—two legends of a bygone era, the Pirate Overlord and the Hero of the Navy, coming together to shake hands and make peace.

"Fleet Admiral Liu Feng, this is the change in the situation of the major forces in the world during this period of time."

In the military conference room, Chief of Staff Trafalgar D. Water Law respectfully handed an intelligence document to Liu Feng with both hands.

Liu Feng nodded.

He took the intelligence document and quickly read through it page by page.

The others sat upright in their seats, waiting quietly.

Senior officers of the Whitebeard Pirates also attended this military meeting. Under the leadership of Whitebeard, they were all arranged to sit in the audience seats.

The huge military conference room was completely silent, with only the sound of Liu Feng flipping pages.

A moment later, he closed the file and shut his eyes.

Then, he absentmindedly rubbed his fingers toward the Golden Lion beside him.

The Golden Lion sighed in exasperation.

"You want to smoke my cigar again, don't you?"

Instead, he took out a cigar from his pocket and handed it to Liu Feng.

Liu Feng took the cigar, and with a flash of lightning at his fingertips, he lit it and took a deep drag.

The sharp taste burned his throat, awakening his senses and clearing the fog of sleep.

He slowly opened his eyes, a glint of cold interest in their sharp gaze.

"Akainu, you're truly a man capable of great things."

Silence fell over the room.

News from the first half of the Grand Line had arrived, detailed in an intelligence report.

It revealed that Fleet Admiral Akainu of the Navy Headquarters had openly defied the World Government’s orders, sending troops to Dressrosa, Water Seven, and Jaya Island.

In less than three days, the snow-white seagull flag was raised above these three locations.

Simultaneously, the Navy Headquarters declared its independence.

The three territories were now under Akainu’s direct control, with taxes imposed and compulsory conscription put in place.

Chapter 448 - The Navy Headquarters Unified Paradise! ?

"So, Akainu is going to establish a dictatorship and form his own independent force now?"

Liu Feng was blowing smoke rings from his mouth, and the corners of his mouth slightly curved into a playful arc.

He looked at Zephyr.

Zephyr nodded solemnly and said:

"Yes, I heard that the World Government sent them three batches of CP0 officials in succession, including an admiral-level fighter who was known as the "strongest shield of the Celestial Dragons." In the end, they were all killed by the Marine Headquarters."

"Until now, even the body has not been sent back to the Holy Land of Marijoa intact."

"It seems that the Navy Headquarters is determined to achieve independence."

"The Seagull's flag of justice has completely flown high, no longer constrained by absolute power."

Liu Feng smiled even more meaningfully.

He knew that Akainu was a very tough hawk who upheld iron-blooded justice.

He hadn’t expected this.

This man had actually done it.

The Navy Headquarters was directly under the control of the World Government.

Over the years, successive admirals had failed to extend the navy's power and influence beyond the World Government’s control—not even slightly.

After all, the World Government’s grip on the Navy Headquarters was too strong.

If the Navy Headquarters wants to be independent, the first thing it needs to solve was the issue of military expenditure.

Without the financial support from the World Government, the Navy probably wouldn't even be able to pay the most basic military salaries, let alone start a war to eliminate pirates.

This was also the reason why Zephyr struggled in the navy all his life but was unable to practice his own justice and finally died tragically.

The heartless world government doesn't care about justice or injustice.

They care about control of the navy.

It was a struggle for power.

Zephyr, who serves in the navy, was actually, to some extent, an unstable threat to the World Government.

The reason was simple.

The World Government will not allow one person to control the hearts of the vast majority of the navy's soldiers.

Zephyr's reputation and power were simply too great.

His words were more influential than those of Fleet Admiral Sengoku at the time.

There was no doubt about it. After all, most of the naval officers had been trained by him. He was the chief instructor, with students spread across the globe.

When the army's loyalty is aligned, the World Government had no choice but to remain cautious.

So, when Zephyr established the new NEO Navy, the World Government seized the opportunity without hesitation, applying pressure on the Navy Headquarters and ordering the destruction of the NEO Navy.

But now, Akainu had bypassed that issue entirely.

He had fundamentally taken the world government’s "meat" from its own hands!

With decisive action, he seized territories controlled by the World Government, imposed taxes, and began building his own army.

"Given Akainu's personality, I think these three places are far from enough. He will definitely not give up so easily."

Liu Feng sneered.

Law reported:

"Yes, according to the intelligence we received, the Navy Headquarters has already vaguely planned to send troops to other countries."

"Their battle line is very long, but their actions are very fast."

"We estimate that within ten days, the Navy Headquarters will completely unify the first half of the Grand Line."

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was secretly shocked.

The actions taken by the Navy Headquarters this time were truly swift and decisive.

It was full of Akainu's style of doing things.

"I'm more curious about how Sengoku, Garp, and the other admirals would allow Akainu to do this."

Liu Feng smiled and said,

"Forget about Kizaru. He's always been hard to figure out and a fence-sitter."

Zephyr hesitated for a moment before speaking in a deep voice.

"Perhaps this is what Sengoku, Garp, and the other admirals have long hoped for."

He raised his head, meeting Liu Feng's eyes.

"Breaking free from the World Government's control would ultimately benefit the Navy's development in the long run."

"Though their personalities differ, they all share a strong belief in justice."

He paused briefly before continuing.

"That means, if a fundamental conflict arises between ‘justice’ and ‘power,’ they would likely side with justice without hesitation."

Zephyr sighed, speaking with a tone of admiration.

"I never expected that what we failed to achieve for so many years would be accomplished by Sakazuki."

"Moreover, the timing he chose was incredibly smart."

Everyone silently nodded in agreement, their thoughts echoing his.

Indeed, the World Conference was about to begin.

Representatives from all the member states had gathered in the holy land of Marijoa, and with the Revolutionary Army's actions, the World Government was too preoccupied to address the Navy's "betrayal."

They could only send a few CP0 agents to symbolically express their "condemnation" and "dissatisfaction."

But the outcome was clear.

The rise of the Navy Headquarters had become unstoppable. The World Government was powerless to reverse the situation.

"It seems we pressured Akainu too much and made him anxious," Liu Feng sneered softly.

Chapter 449 -  The End of Justice is coming! ! 

Marine Headquarters, Marineford.
Office of the Grand Inspector Fleet Admiral.

The atmosphere was thick with silence, the air so heavy it felt hard to breathe.

"So, are we just going to let that kid Sakazuki do whatever he wants this time?"

Sengoku said with a gloomy face.

He felt helpless as he looked at Garp, who was sitting on the sofa and stuffing senbei into his mouth continuously, looking as if it had nothing to do with him.

Garp shook his head slowly, his disapproval evident.

"Sengoku, what are you worrying about?"

"Isn't this a good thing?"

"The World Government and those damn Celestial Dragons have been riding on our backs for far too long. Now we finally have a chance to break free from their control. Isn't that something to celebrate?"

Garp muttered incoherently as he crunched on his senbei.

 "I used to dislike that arrogant little brat Sakazuki, but now, I find him much more pleasing to the eye."

Sengoku remained silent, but his fists were clenched tightly.

Garp suddenly stopped what he was doing, smiled, and said:

"We are all old now, so let's not worry about it."

"Sakazuki is now the Fleet Admiral of the Navy, so he can do whatever he wants."

"Besides, I believe you also understand that he is also under a lot of pressure, isn't he?"

Sengoku paused, then let out a long sigh.

He knew well that the main reason Akainu "dared to defy the will of the world" and led his forces to attack the World Government’s member states, ultimately steering the Navy Headquarters toward independence, was the aggressive rise of the new NEO Navy.

The NEO Navy’s rapid rise had been so overwhelming that it even made everyone feel uneasy.

After the devastating defeat in the G1 war, the entire Navy Headquarters had fallen into a state of despair.

Morale was at an all-time low.

Even the World Government began to question the leadership and decisiveness of Akainu, the Navy Fleet Admiral, and there were rumors that he would be dismissed.

Although this news was most likely just groundless, it undoubtedly pushed Akainu into a corner.

Sengoku understood Akainu’s character all too well.

Tough, unyielding, and never one to bow his head.

There was no way Akainu would simply sit back and allow the World Government to strip him of his power and position. He had no choice but to resist.

But as long as the Navy Headquarters remained under the control of the World Government,

The seagull of justice would never be able to spread its wings and soar.

Akainu understood this very well.

The navy's top brass understand this, too.

If they didn’t break free from the control of the World Government,

Facing the NEO Navy, they had no chance of victory.

After the G1 defeat, absolute power was no longer a taboo for the Navy Headquarters.

Instead, it had become a massive cage.

Most importantly, this wasn’t just a war—it was a battle between two factions of justice.

Neither side would allow anyone or anything to stand in their way.

The entire Navy was filled with anger, all waiting for the right moment to break free.

As Sengoku thought about this, his gaze slowly shifted toward the window.

In the distance, the snow-white seagull flags flew high, dancing and rustling in the strong wind.

He couldn’t help but wonder what fate Akainu would lead the Navy to—

Would it be a final victory or a step toward the hell of failure?

The only thing he knew for certain was that the entire world would quietly await the "final battle of justice."

And the buffer zone for this war—

Would be the Red Earth Continent, which separated the two major naval camps:

The World Government.

….

….

At that moment, in the office of the Admiral of the Navy Headquarters, two tall, imposing figures entered slowly. Behind them, two large cloaks billowed in the strong wind from the open door.

The word "justice" carried a powerful impact.

Fujitora and Green Bull, the Admiral of the Navy Headquarters, and the highest combat powers of the World Government, had arrived.

"A lot has really happened," Fujitora said.

"Fleet Admiral Sakazuki," Green Bull added. "Perhaps you should explain this to us?"

Fujitora stared at the figure behind the desk with a gloomy expression and said coldly.

Green Bull also rubbed his temples and said helplessly:

“We almost didn’t make it back.”

"The government has sent people to block our room."

The two of them have been staying in the holy land of Marijoa all this time, helping to guard the preparations for the World Conference.

However, they hadn't anticipated that, within just two days of guarding, the door would be blocked by CP0 members. By the time they reacted, they realized Fleet Admiral Akainu had sent troops to conquer three member states of the World Government.

The Navy was declaring independence!

Both Fujitora and Green Bull were struck with confusion. They quickly rushed back from the holy land of Marijoa.

Akainu slowly raised his head, his eyes cold as ice beneath his military cap.

"I'm glad you're back," he said.

"Get ready."

"Once we unify Paradise and gather all our forces, the war will begin."

"When the time comes," he added, "I will stand with you and defend true justice with my life!" 

Chapter 450 - Be a person with a bottom line!

"What's going on in Wano Country recently?"

In the NEO new naval military conference room, Liu Feng suddenly asked.

Just like their NEO New Navy unifying the New World, the Navy Headquarters unifying Paradise was an unstoppable trend.

Compared to stopping Akainu's plans and ambitions, Liu Feng was more concerned about the last of the Four Emperors pirate group.

Kaido the Beast.

This guy has been accumulating power in Wano Country for decades and has made the closed-off Wano Country like an iron barrel.

Even with the current combat power of the NEO New Navy, it would probably be quite difficult to conquer Wano Country.

This was a tough nut to crack.

But if he leave them alone, the Beasts Pirates lurking in the rear of Wano Country were watching with eager eyes, like a thorn in their throat.

In the future, there may be a war with the World Government and the Navy Headquarters. But when will they stab me in the back again? That would be quite troublesome.

Law immediately responded solemnly:

"No, it's very quiet. But I heard that, with the fall of the Blackbeard Pirates, all the supernovas have gathered near Wano Country. It seems they want to take this opportunity to bring down Kaido in one fell swoop."

Liu Feng nodded.

Supernovas? Those little ones are all heading to Wano Country, hoping to pick up some easy spoils.

With the rise of the NEO new navy, the order of the Four Emperors in the New World has completely crumbled. Whether they can defeat Kaido was no longer of any concern.

Most importantly, Liu Feng didn't think that the group of so-called supernovas could really kill Kaido.

For them, it was still too early for this stage.

However, the most pressing issue at the moment was how to choose.

The World Conference was about to begin, and Liu Feng had also promised to assist Dragon. After all, he was very curious—what kind of being was Imu?

Now that he had acquired the Dark-Dark Fruit and the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, Liu Feng believed that no matter how strong Imu was, he could never be stronger than him. He still held that confidence.

On the other side, Wano Country couldn’t just sit idly by and do nothing.

"Is it possible to act separately?"

Such a thought quickly flashed through Liu Feng’s mind.

At night, the stars shone brightly, and the wind had died down. However, the massive G1NEO New Navy Headquarters was still ablaze with light. Countless searchlights swept across the land, illuminating the road in the darkness.

At a military fortress, Whitebeard looked down at the patrolling troops below, his expression filled with emotion.

Beside him, Zephyr slowly approached, holding a jug of wine in his hand.

"Old bastard," Whitebeard smiled.

Zephyr tossed the wine jug to Whitebeard, who caught it and took a sip. After a moment, he scowled and laughed.

"What kind of horse urine is this? It’s too disgusting to drink!"

"You, the chief inspector and chief instructor of the NEO Navy, are drinking this kind of wine?"

Zephyr smiled dismissively.

"There’s not enough military funding, so I can only drink this."

It wasn't strong liquor.

It was a drink similar to bottled beer.

For Whitebeard, who was used to drinking strong liquor, this low-alcohol malt liquor was naturally not strong enough.

Whitebeard rolled his eyes, his tone dissatisfied.

"The only ones not short of money right now should be you, NEO Navy. The taxes from most of the New World's territories, control of the trade routes, not to mention the financial aid from that brat, Golden Emperor Tezoro."

Zephyr shook his head, replying,

"The taxes in our territories are collected according to the minimum standards. Compared to the heavenly gold of the World Government, it’s just a drop in the bucket. As for the Golden Emperor, he’s already taken the initiative to propose abolishing human trade and various illegal transactions. Now, the only things left are legal businesses, like trade and gambling, which have been approved by Liu Feng."

Speaking of which, Zephyr spread his hands and smiled:

“So, our situation is not as good as you think.”

Whitebeard was taken aback. He hadn’t expected Liu Feng to be so virtuous. The profits from the smuggling trade chain in the underground world were immense—human trafficking, slave trade, arms smuggling, organ trade, and the drug business—all highly lucrative ventures.

Yet Liu Feng had decided to shut it all down.

That kind of determination and spirit was truly extraordinary.

"Surprised, aren't you?"

“I was actually surprised too.”

Zephyr suddenly laughed, as if he was very satisfied with Whitebeard's expression.

"Liu Feng, that guy, doesn't seem to have any yearning or worship for justice."

“But that’s also what I admire most about him.”

Whitebeard asked doubtfully:

"Why?"

Zephyr spoke in a deep voice:

"People like him make up the vast majority of the world. You can't expect everyone to be a soldier who upholds justice. That would be far too difficult."

"But," he continued, "it’s much easier to make someone a person with a bottom line. Most importantly, it's achievable."
