Sakazuki and Sengoku! Do the Fleet Admirals Know the Truth? | Sakazuki’s Reaction

Sakazuki’s Reaction

In ONE PIECE Chapter 1116, Sakazuki listened to Vegapunk’s message alongside other Navy officers, initially remaining silent. However, he eventually burst out in anger, saying, “You’re telling everything, Vegapunk!”

This line suggests that Sakazuki already knew the content of Vegapunk’s message but had chosen to keep it to himself. While it wouldn’t be surprising for the Fleet Admiral to know such things, it raises the question: does Sakazuki know that the world once sank into the sea during the Void Century, and that the World Government possesses the ancient weapons responsible for that catastrophe?

If ancient weapons still exist and the World Government, or rather the Celestial Dragons, have the means to power them, there’s a real possibility they might use them. As Vegapunk warned, this could lead to the world sinking again, including the current world we live in.

Sakazuki and Sengoku’s reactions suggest that they both know and understand these dire possibilities. This understanding might be why Sakazuki is so ruthless in maintaining peace and order—his extreme actions may stem from a desire to prevent the World Government from ever feeling the need to use such destructive weapons.

If Sakazuki is indeed aware that the Celestial Dragons have the power to destroy the world, it would explain his harsh approach to anyone who threatens peace. It’s a matter of protecting the world from the potential use of these ancient weapons.

The high-ranking officers of the Navy, like Kizaru, are bound to the orders of the Celestial Dragons as if they were corporate slaves, but this might be their way of preventing the use of ancient weapons. In a sense, Sakazuki, Sengoku, and past Fleet Admirals might have consistently tried to protect not just the people from pirates but also the people from the Celestial Dragons.

Vegapunk’s message undoubtedly stoked fear and uncertainty worldwide. This could embolden the Revolutionary Army or lead others to defy the World Government, potentially causing more incidents like the destruction of Lulusia Kingdom.
