Kong shouted, "Don't kill him! Capture him alive!"
Even after seeing that the culprit was just a boy, the Navy's top brass didn't relax. They all vigilantly scanned the crowd. They didn't think that just a boy would have the guts to cause chaos at the execution ground.
There was no doubt about the power of Senbonzakura's Bankai. Those ordinary Marines couldn't resist Akira Stone's attacks at all, and the Navy's attacks couldn't get close to him by even half a point, because a no-injury zone had formed around him.
Seeing that so many Marines couldn't do anything to Akira Stone, Kong was furious and shocked. Where did this little boy come from? He actually had such astonishing strength. And what was his purpose? Why did he take action after the execution?
All of this made Kong very confused, but it also made him more and more vigilant.
"This kid is quite capable. Let me do it."
Suddenly, a frivolous voice rang out. A young Navy Vice Admiral wearing yellow clothes stood out. This person was about thirty years old, with some stubble, and his face was wrinkled when he spoke, as if all his muscles were squeezed together.
Borsalino, Navy Vice Admiral. In the near future, he would be promoted to Navy Admiral, a user of the Pika Pika no Mi.
Seeing Kizaru come out, Sengoku frowned slightly, and said, "Borsalino, pay attention to your strength. Capture him alive."
Kizaru twisted his body, and said in a strange voice, "Understood, Mr. Sengoku. I guarantee to complete the mission."
The Navy's structure was already very clear. Navy Fleet Admiral Kong would soon be transferred away. It was estimated that it would happen in these few years. The person who would inherit the position of Navy Fleet Admiral would definitely be the current Navy Admiral, Sengoku. Zephyr himself gave up, so the person who would become Navy Fleet Admiral in the future would definitely be Sengoku.
And there was almost no major controversy about the three positions of Navy Admiral. Garp was unwilling to be promoted. The two people who were designated were Sakazuki and Borsalino. So, the current Borsalino already had Admiral-level strength.
Akira Stone was controlling Senbonzakura's thin blades to attack the Marines, but suddenly, a voice came to his ears, making his whole body tremble.
"Kid, ever seen a light-speed kick?"
"Not good!"
After hearing this frivolous voice, Akira Stone's expression changed drastically. He almost instantly thought of Kizaru. The fact also verified his guess. A golden light appeared in front of him. Then, a yellow figure appeared, more than two meters tall, with his hands in his pockets, his right foot raised, and the tip of his foot flashing with a cross-shaped golden light.
"It's Kizaru!" Akira Stone's reaction speed was fast enough. He quickly returned the blades, wanting to resist Kizaru. But Kizaru's speed was even faster. He kicked out that kick before all the blades could return. The layer of blade defense in front of Akira Stone almost collapsed instantly.
"Not good!"
The members of the Roger Pirates watching in the shadows were all shocked. Kizaru's attack speed was really too fast, so fast that they didn't even have time to react. If this kick really hit Akira Stone, he would be seriously injured even if he didn't die.
The one who reacted the fastest was Rayleigh. He had already flown out of the tavern on the second floor the moment Kizaru took shape. But his speed was ultimately not as fast as Kizaru's. He watched with a grim expression as Kizaru forcefully destroyed Akira Stone's defense, and was about to kick Akira Stone.
But Kizaru, who was closest to Akira Stone, only showed a hint of panic at the beginning, but quickly returned to calm, and maintained that posture, retreating backwards, as if he wasn't worried that his light-speed kick would hit him.
The fact was that Akira Stone really wasn't afraid, because just as Kizaru's light-speed kick was about to hit him, suddenly a dark black cross sword appeared between the two, accurately hitting Kizaru's kick.
"Hmm?"
Kizaru looked at the front in surprise. His light-speed kick hit the black sword, but it didn't cause an explosion. Between him and Akira Stone, a man wearing a burgundy coat, holding a black cross sword, blocked his light-speed kick.
"Who are you?"
Hawkeye stared at Kizaru, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes. He could feel that the slightly lewd Navy Vice Admiral in front of him was a very good opponent. So he opened his mouth and answered, "Dracule Mihawk!"
"Dracule Mihawk? Never heard of him." Kizaru shook his head, then looked at Hawkeye with interest, and said, "To be able to block my light-speed kick, it seems that you're also a good guy."
Akira Stone stood behind Hawkeye, and thanked him, "Thanks, Hawkeye."
"Hawkeye?"
Hawkeye looked at Akira Stone in confusion. Akira Stone was immediately somewhat embarrassed. He quickly made amends, "I saw that your eyes are very similar to the eyes of a hawk, sharp and fierce, so I gave you this nickname."
Akira Stone originally thought that Hawkeye would refute, but he didn't expect that after muttering it twice, Hawkeye nodded, and said, "Hawkeye, this nickname is very good. I'll use this name from now on."
Akira Stone's face was filled with astonishment. He didn't expect that Hawkeye's nickname would actually become something he made up. But this kind of reaction was only for a moment, because Kizaru's attack caused all the members of the Roger Pirates to appear, and the entire scene became even more chaotic. Those members of the Roger Pirates attacked the surrounding Marines from multiple places, causing great casualties.
"It's the Roger Pirates!"
The appearance of Rayleigh and the others made the Navy recognize them at once, and many people shouted in panic.
Kong and the other Navy high-ranking officials frowned. They really couldn't understand why the Roger Pirates didn't take action before the execution, but waited until Roger died before these people appeared. Now that Roger was already dead, what were they appearing for?
"Rayleigh!"
Seeing Rayleigh in the crowd, Kong roared angrily, "You detestable pirates! Roger is already dead, and you actually dare to show your faces. Good. We've been looking for you for so long. This time, we'll capture all of you and throw you in Impel Down at once!"
Rayleigh laughed loudly, "If you want to capture us, then it depends on whether you have the ability."
After Rayleigh appeared, Admiral Sengoku and Garp immediately came up to him, preparing to join forces to deal with Rayleigh. And behind Rayleigh, there were also two people, one whose appearance couldn't be seen clearly, and another who was a very tall man.
Sengoku looked at Rayleigh, and suddenly asked, "Rayleigh, is that brat also from your Roger Pirates?"
Rayleigh chuckled, "Sengoku, you're wrong. Our pirate crew doesn't have such a powerful little guy."
Sengoku was about to ask again, but he suddenly discovered a man with blue flames all over his body appearing beside Akira Stone. Seeing this person, his eyes suddenly shrank, and he asked, "Whitebeard Pirates, 'Phoenix' Marco. Is this brat from the Whitebeard Pirates?"
Rayleigh smiled, and didn't answer, but it made Sengoku even more certain. He was puzzled in his heart. The Whitebeard Pirates were actually helping the Roger Pirates to make a big scene at the execution ground? But according to their intelligence, the Whitebeard Pirates hadn't left the New World.
"It seems that it's just Marco and that brat who came." Sengoku was very certain.
Sengoku said to Rayleigh, "Rayleigh, what exactly is your purpose?"
Rayleigh said in a deep voice, "Our purpose is very simple. It's to have Roger's body returned to us. As long as you do that, we'll withdraw immediately."
"Impossible."
Sengoku directly refused without hesitation. Right now, it was a world broadcast. So many people were watching. If they returned Roger's body to the Roger Pirates, then what would the people of the world think of him? Everything they did today was to deter pirates. If they really returned Roger's body, then what deterrence would they be talking about? It would be good if they weren't laughed to death.
