The treasury was heavily guarded so they stealthily approaced and quietly took out one guard after the other knocking them out.
Getting into the treasury was easy once they reached it.
Akira just dumped the whole iron door inside his inventory and walked into the sea of gold coins grinning like mad before sucking the last gold coin inside his inventory.
After he was done they made a run for it "quickly, to the ship" Akira said and sprinted towards the docks along with his elite guards.
Behind him an alarm bell sounded and guards swarmed the treasury.
'Too late' he thought and finally reached the docks.
He put all nearby military ships inside his inventory for two reasons.
One, to further enhance his own fleet and two to hinder them from following him.
He reached his ship where Noir was already waiting for him and the ships motors brimmed to life moving the ship to the open ocean.
"Back to Asokoh island" Akira said "We are declaring the rebellion" he grinned and stood at the front of his ship.
It would still be five long years before the plot will start so till then he needed to absolutely destroy the fleets of the fire nation and take control of the northern waters.

Fire nation pov
Ozai was having the best day of his life, tomorrow he would ascend to the fire lord and no one could stop him.
"Lord Ozai, apologies for the interruption but prince Akira has deserted the fire nation. He took his elite guards, raided the treasury and fled by ship" a guard stormed in and told him.
He was shocked at first. Never would he have thought that a ten year old child would think of such a political manoever to raise questions at his ascension.
He was beyond furious "chase him and execute him in public! High treason isn't tolerated even when he is a prince!" Ozai screamed in fury the flames around him raging.
Eventually he calmed down and thought how he should handle this mess.
"Iroh will be banished from the fire nation and Akira will be labled as traitor of the fire nation. I want his head no matter the price do you understand?" Ozai said to the guard.
"Yes your majesty" the guard said and left to relay Ozai's orders but the dammage was done.
With his betrayal Akira told everyone a very important message. Ozai is not the rightful king of the fire nation and he would be a symbol for the rebellion for future rebellions.

Akira reached Asokoh island and was suprised how it had changed.
It had now giant watchtowers made out of earth and around his small palace a small city out of crude earth walls were made.
His troops worked hard during the last year and they freed many earth and waterbenders from prisons of the fire nation.
If he had to guess there were around 1000 people here.
As soon as he left the ship everyone bowed deeply to him.
"All hail Akira, prince of rebellion" they chanted and cheered. For them he must be something like a hero and a symbol of hope.
Not one to miss this momentum Akira jumped on top of a big boulder and raised his hands.
The people around him immediately quieted down.
"Today Ozai will be crowned as the new fire king and he will bring forth another era of misery and terror. Like you all I am now nothing more than a traitor of the fire nation, a dreamer who dreams of a better world, a world where the war is finally over and the nations live together in harmony once again" he shouted passionately"Today is the day we will start the war against the fire nation. Today marks the start of the rebellion"
Under him the people cheered with raised arms.
They finally had hope, a young prince of the fire nation created this very opportunity and started a big rebelllion against the fire nation.
Many still couldn't believe it but this is really happening.
"Ozai will attack us soon with his fleet and each of us will have to fight for their lives" Akira said and everyone looked serious.
"Begin with the preparations to defend this island, the bastion of the rebellion" Akira said and everyone got to work again.
It really astounded him just how many his troops had freed in that short period.
But that just helped him more in his conquest and he was planning to teach a few talented earthbenders metalbending to be able to rip the metal armour of the ships to shreds.
Following this idea he gathered zhe most talented earthbenders that are currently on this island to teach them metalbending.
"You are propably wondering why you are gathered here. The reason is simple. I want to create another elite squad of earthbenders like my lightning guards and will appoint the best of them as a commander" Akira said "I will instuct you in the art of metalbending, an ancient art of earthbending I discovered in the archives of the fire nation"
"How can a firebender instruct us?" a guy asked.
"I can only tell you what the book said and explain the basics. You have to figure out the rest by yourself" he said and mentioned a guard to come forward and give everyone blindfolds.
"To be able to bend metal you need to have a very high sensivity of earth and feel the earth around you" Akira told them "I will leave the books on metalbending here for you to read however you want. First train your sensivity to earth"
The people were doubtful of his teaching technique but followed them and tried to feel a connection to the piece of metal in front of them.
After that he went to the war council meeting to talk about the strategy for the incomming attack.
He entered the room and saw a table with a perfect 3d map of Asokoh island using earthbending with the ocean around them and red dots to show the fleet of the fire nation.
"Alright, the plan is simple. First send the submarines to sink as many of their ships on the way here and then confront them in a frontal battle with out fleet and airships" Hao Li, one of his commanders said moving a few units on the board.
Suddenly everyone looked at Akira as if wanting to hear his opinion.
"Sounds good" he just nodded and bit into an apple "Each ship should have at least three benders of every element to make defensive and offensive attacks more versatile"
His commanders nodded and continued discussing finer details of the strategy while Akira just listened not really having anything against their tactics.
