## One Piece Chapter 650, pages 4-5: Two Changes You Need to Know - Chapter: 650 - Pages: 4-5 - Characters: Jinbe, Aokiji, Akainu, Monkey D. Luffy, Sakazuki, Nami, Nico Robin ### Summary 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. Page 5: Jinbe gives the result plainly: "The victor was Akainu!!" and "Sakazuki is the new fleet admiral of the Marines...!!" Luffy grips himself at the name and mutters, "Akainu...!!" The cost was brutal. When Nami asks, "So did Aokiji die, then?" Jinbe says both parties were severely wounded, but "even Akainu could not find it in himself... to slaughter the one-time ally who lay helpless before him." Aokiji staunchly refused to serve under Akainu and left the Marines. Robin asks whether Aokiji is no longer a Marine, and Jinbe confirms, "Indeed. I do not know what has become of him since." One thing, however, is certain: "The Marines have lost a powerful asset."
