You guys are out here too?" Around him the Straw Hats are recovering from the banquet in their own ways. Usopp admits, "I drank a little too much! I came out here to sober up." Chopper says, "And I ate too much. I'm stuffed." Sanji is collapsed in bliss because "Sanji's recovering from a mermaid overdose," while Brook declares, "Fishman Island is the best!!" Jinbe resumes the news from the outside world, and Luffy reacts in shock: "Whaaaat?! Akainu and Aokiji had a big fight?!" Jinbe says Rayleigh was right that Luffy does not do things by halves, but Luffy has missed a major incident. Chopper has heard of this one too. Jinbe explains that immediately after the war two years ago, Fleet Admiral Sengoku stepped down, forcing the question of a successor. Sengoku himself recommended Aokiji, "a man who commands great respect from his subordinates," but among the upper echelons of the World Government, Akainu became the favored candidate. Page 4: Jinbe continues the account over the memory of the two admirals facing one another. "As you may know, Aokiji isn't exactly a man of action. He tends to take things as they come." But this time, Aokiji "objected vigorously to the prospect of Akainu becoming fleet admiral." The two were fiercely opposed, and the unprecedented conflict between Marine admirals became an all-out battle on a certain island. The terms were clear: "The loser would forfeit all further right to object," while "the victor would take absolute control of the Marine forces." Luffy listens with a stiff, alarmed face as Jinbe says the battle raged "for ten whole days," with the world waiting on tenterhooks. Though the two admirals were almost equal in strength, one man ultimately emerged victorious.
