Fujitora didn't answer Vice Admiral Tsuru right away. He was deep in thought.
He was quietly wondering if he should recommend Aramaki to the Marines. But when he remembered Aramaki's beliefs, he couldn't help but feel worried.
Aramaki is a strong supporter of the World Government.
In his eyes, the reason humans have survived and thrived is because they keep stepping on species they see as "lesser."
Also, he believes that if a country isn't part of the World Government, it's "lesser." People can only feel safe by putting these countries under their feet.
For Aramaki, "discrimination" is a way to feel safe and secure.
That's why Fujitora worries that if Aramaki suddenly changes sides or turns against them, the consequences would be terrible.
However, Aramaki really looks up to Akainu, which makes things even more complicated.
Just then, Vice Admiral Tsuru asked again, a little confused, "Admiral Issho?"
Hearing her voice, Fujitora slowly came back to his senses. He shook his head, trying to clear his thoughts, and then said slowly:
"I'm sorry, I was daydreaming. I just suddenly remembered some of the guy's bad history.
So, I'll tell you everything about him. Then we can all talk about whether to bring him into the Marines."
Then, he told them everything about Aramaki. After he finished, he drank some hot tea and waited for their decision.
After Fujitora finished, the meeting room was silent. Everyone frowned and began to think.
A Logia Devil Fruit user with the power of the Forest-Forest Fruit is incredibly strong and rare. If they could get him, he could be a huge help at critical times.
For example, they could use forest plants to block off all of Mary Geoise, which would save a lot of manpower and resources.
However.
Thinking about Aramaki's character, everyone felt a bit of a headache. According to Fujitora, he has a very bad past.
The most important thing is that he used to be a police officer in the Taya Kingdom. But because he was obsessed with women, he got involved with a woman in a big incident, which led to him being thrown in jail.
Even now, he's still locked up in a dark prison.
While everyone was silent, Kizaru suddenly said slowly:
"So, is there a way to control him and make him work for us? Like, could we use the authority chip Vegapunk just made?"
His words were a bombshell, and the meeting room was filled with whispers.
Some people thought it might work, but others weren't sure. Aramaki isn't someone who's easy to control.
"In desperate times, you have to use desperate measures. I think Borsalino's suggestion is good. We should put an authority chip in that Aramaki guy. That way, all the problems should be solved." He looked at everyone in the room, as if waiting for their response.
Everyone looked at each other. After a moment of silence, they nodded slightly, agreeing with Akainu's decision. In this complicated situation, there didn't seem to be a better way.
At the end of the meeting, they decided to let Fujitora handle it.
Fujitora himself would safely take Aramaki to the mysterious Egghead Island. Then, the genius scientist Vegapunk would put the important authority chip in Aramaki.
Without delay, Fujitora left immediately after the meeting and headed to the South Sea...
The Straw Hat crew didn't expect that Aramaki, who they wanted to find and get rid of, was being handled by the Marines like this.
The authority chip was developed by the genius scientist Vegapunk.
This mysterious invention makes some CP0 members completely obey the World Government, as if they've lost part of their personality.
But now, with Vegapunk's improvements, the authority chip is even more powerful. It can completely take away a person's personality, making them a puppet of whoever has the highest access in the chip.
If Aramaki had this new chip put in him, there would be no real Aramaki anymore.
He would be like a walking corpse, following orders and unable to find his own will and soul.
~~~~~~
After arriving in the South Sea, Issho used his status as a Marine Admiral to easily see Aramaki.
Right now, Aramaki was stuck in the mud of "being troubled by love." Fujitora didn't feel any pity for him.
This so-called love was just Aramaki's one-sided wish. The woman never agreed to be with him.
But Aramaki was greedy and crazy, and dared to do something unforgivable.
He deserved to be arrested and imprisoned.
It's worth noting that he really did love that woman deeply. Otherwise, why would he have surrendered so easily when the police came to arrest him?
And now.
When Fujitora "saw" Aramaki again, he didn't say anything.
While Aramaki was still trapped in sea stone chains and couldn't move, Fujitora didn't hesitate. He hit Aramaki hard, knocking him out.
Then.
He didn't waste any time. He picked up the unconscious Aramaki and rushed to Egghead Island in the New World.
After arriving at Egghead Island, Vegapunk had been waiting for a long time.
After handing Aramaki over to Vegapunk, Fujitora immediately returned to Marine Headquarters. Soon, Aramaki was taken to the lab by Vegapunk.
"The Forest-Forest Fruit seems to have a big impact on the environment. I should keep some of this guy's genes and make some Seraphim with the Forest-Forest Fruit," Vegapunk thought, looking at Aramaki on the operating table.
Many places on the sea are troubled by a lack of plants. The Logia Forest-Forest Fruit has come at the right time.
