"Akira Stone, this can't go on. Think of a way quickly."
Marco was carrying Akira Stone and Roger's body, and he was already lacking in agility. In addition, with Kizaru's constant attacks, he was about to be unable to resist. So he quickly asked Akira Stone for help.
Akira Stone was also seriously injured at this time. If it wasn't for his strong will supporting him, he might have already been unable to bear it. It was just that he also knew very well that they hadn't gotten out of danger yet, so they needed to continue to persevere for a while.
Kizaru's Glint-Glint Fruit belonged to the Logia-type, so his attacks also belonged to energy attacks. Using Sōgyo no Kotowari would allow him to absorb Kizaru's attacks. But the problem was that Kizaru's attacks were too dense, and the range was very large. Sōgyo no Kotowari couldn't absorb all of them, so Akira Stone could only choose another way.
"Bankai: Senbonzakura Kageyoshi!"
Akira Stone drew Senbonzakura, and directly performed Bankai. Then, he controlled countless blades to block below Marco, forming a large area of defense. Kizaru's lasers all hit the defense formed by Senbonzakura, and couldn't pose a threat to Marco anymore.
Without Kizaru's threat, Marco could finally fly with peace of mind. He quickly flew higher and higher, slowly disappearing from the Navy's sight.
"Oh my, they actually escaped after all. They really have some skills."
Kizaru fell from the sky. After all, he didn't have the ability to fly. He could only stay in the air for a very short time. So after seeing that his attacks couldn't pose a threat to Marco and Akira Stone, he could only give up helplessly.
"We absolutely can't let them go!"
An angry roar rang out. He saw Akainu transforming into magma, and chasing after the direction where Akira Stone and Marco had left at a fast speed. This time, they Navy had been played by Akira Stone. In front of the world broadcast, Roger's body had been taken away by Akira Stone. How could they possibly endure this? Especially Akainu. Akira Stone had completed all of this right in front of him. This was simply a great humiliation to him. Only by using Akira Stone's blood could he wash away his humiliation.
Many of the Marines on the plaza had faces full of dejection. Originally, executing the 'Pirate King' Roger was a great victory for them. But who knew that such a scene would actually occur? Although Roger had been executed, a huge storm had emerged. In front of the world's eyes, Roger's body had been taken away by a ten-year-old brat.
Navy Fleet Admiral Kong was also extremely angry, causing his face to turn purple. Speaking of which, he had played a big role in Akira Stone being able to escape. His punch had indeed seriously injured Akira Stone, but it had also been used by Akira Stone as a way to escape. It could be said that he had indirectly helped Akira Stone. So how could he not be angry?
"All soldiers, listen up! Search for that brat for me! Marco and that brat are both seriously injured. They can't escape far. So chase after them for me! No matter what method you use, you must find that brat for me!"
Kong's roars were echoing on the plaza. His voice had even become distorted with anger. As the Navy Fleet Admiral, he had to take full responsibility for this incident. This was in front of the world. Before the Navy could publicize the major victory of executing the Pirate King, they had been slapped hard in the face by a boy-led group of pirates.
"Yes, Fleet Admiral."
Many of the Marines responded in unison. Not only did Kong feel ashamed, but they also felt ashamed as Marines. So after receiving the order, they rushed out with their men towards the direction where Akira Stone and the others had left without thinking. This included many Navy officers. They began to act with great momentum.
"Fleet Admiral."
At this time, Sengoku, Garp, Zephyr, and the others came to Kong's side. They looked at the execution platform that had been destroyed, and were all silent. After a long time, Sengoku was the first to speak, "Fleet Admiral, it's better to evacuate the crowd first, and deal with the aftermath."
Kong took a deep breath, and tried his best to calm down. Although he was very angry, he also knew very well that as the Navy Fleet Admiral, he still needed to handle the remaining matters. So he immediately arranged for people to handle the aftermath here.
Now, this battle had long been spread throughout the world through the world broadcast. So wanting to cover it up was an impossible thing. The only thing they could do now was to control the consequences of this matter to the minimum. After all, there were only a few people who watched the world broadcast. So as long as they could control the world's media, they could still dilute the situation.
All the Marines became busy. Most of them went to chase Akira Stone and the others. The remaining ones were dealing with the area around the plaza, because the great chaos just now had directly led to the collapse of the entire plaza. Dealing with it was also quite troublesome.
In front of the execution platform, Kong was standing there with Sengoku and the other Navy high-ranking officials, and said with a complicated expression, "Today's matter was because I was too conceited. I underestimated the courage and strength of those pirates. That's why it led to this result. I will take full responsibility for this matter."
The impact of this incident was too great. So someone had to stand up and take responsibility. As the Navy Fleet Admiral, Kong's handling of today's matter was very poor, and his command wasn't timely either. So he had to take this responsibility.
"Fleet Admiral, don't say that. This matter isn't entirely your responsibility. None of us thought that such a thing would actually happen."
Looking at the dejected Kong, Sengoku couldn't help but persuade him. Regarding today's matter, Kong, as the commander-in-chief, did indeed have some responsibility, but it was far from as heavy as he said. Just as he said, who would have thought that there would be a madman like Akira Stone? Who would have thought that Akira Stone would be able to condense such a powerful force?
Kong sighed, and looked at Sengoku and the others around him, and said, "Alright. The matter has already happened. No matter how much we think about it, we can't change it. Now, the most urgent thing is how to deal with this storm."
Navy Chief of Staff, and also the only woman among the few Navy high-ranking officials, Vice Admiral Tsuru, said, "Although this time we caused such a big commotion, we still achieved our initial goal. Roger has been executed. But what I'm most worried about now is the impact brought by this matter. Roger's last words gave me an ominous premonition. There's also the appearance of that little guy. All kinds of signs indicate that the sea that follows will probably fall into a situation that we don't want to see."
Kong then roared angrily in a low voice, "That damned Roger. He actually set us up before he died."
Vice Admiral Tsuru said, "Yeah. I finally understand now why Roger would take the initiative to surrender. He probably knew that there would be such a day. So he chose to be executed in Loguetown, and then said those words. The purpose is self-evident."
The people here were all high-ranking officials of the Navy. Everyone understood what Vice Admiral Tsuru meant, but no one continued the conversation.
"Haha."
At this time, Garp suddenly laughed loudly, and said, "Why think so much? Just move forward, and look forward, isn't that it? Why bother纠结 here?"
Suddenly, all gazes fell on Garp. Even with Garp's thick skin, he felt very uncomfortable being stared at by everyone. He twisted his body, and asked, "Why are you all looking at me like that? I was just saying it casually."
Sengoku defused the situation, "Fleet Admiral, what Garp said also makes sense. Now that things have come to this, there's no need to continue to纠结. No matter what happens next, we just need to face it calmly. But after this incident, there are a few people who we have to pay attention to."
Admiral Zephyr said, "Sengoku, are you talking about those few young pirates who helped the Roger Pirates block our Navy?"
"That's right, it's them."
Sengoku nodded, and said, "If it wasn't for this turmoil, we wouldn't have been able to discover those few young pirates with amazing strength. Especially that pirate called Akira Stone. From all kinds of signs, that Akira Stone is a member of the Whitebeard Pirates."
Again mentioning Akira Stone, Kong's expression suddenly became very ugly again. He said in a deep voice, "The Whitebeard Pirates, one of the three legendary pirates of the New World. Roger is dead. Golden Lion is imprisoned in the deep sea prison. Only Whitebeard is left."
Hearing Kong's words, everyone was very clear that the greatest threat to the Navy in the sea that followed would be Whitebeard. One Whitebeard was terrible enough. Now they also had Akira Stone, a newcomer with immeasurable potential. The Whitebeard Pirates' strength would definitely increase by a large amount again. This was the situation that the Navy was most unwilling to see.
"So." Kong said in a cold voice, "We must capture that brat. No matter what price we pay, we must completely exterminate him."
The people in the field all agreed very much. They had all witnessed Akira Stone's terrifying potential and indomitable will. This kind of young man was too terrifying. A boy who was only ten years old could control Conqueror's Haki, and also had a weapon with multiple forms that they had never seen before. This was also what the Navy was most afraid of and feared.
Sengoku said, "Sakazuki, Borsalino, and Kuzan have already taken people to chase after that kid. That kid and Marco are both seriously injured. As long as they can catch up with them, they will definitely be able to capture them, or kill them."
Kong nodded. Akainu, Kizaru, and Aokiji. These three were the most outstanding people of the Navy's younger generation. If there were no accidents, these three would become the new generation of Navy Admirals in the future. Any one of the three of them wouldn't fall into a disadvantage against Akira Stone and Marco. Not to mention that Marco and Akira Stone were both seriously injured now. As long as they were encountered by the three of them, killing or capturing them shouldn't be a big problem.
"What about the people from the Roger Pirates? This time, they actually dared to openly provoke the Navy like this. If it wasn't for them, it would have been impossible for that brat alone to succeed."
If Akira Stone was the soul of this operation, then the people from the Roger Pirates were the key that played a decisive role. If there weren't the people from the Roger Pirates restraining the Navy, even if there were a hundred Akira Stones, it would have been impossible to take Roger's body away from the Navy's hands.
Before, the Navy had prepared for so long, and was also worried that the people from the Roger Pirates would come back to rescue Roger. But they didn't expect that they had prepared so carefully for so long, but in the end, it was all in vain. The people from the Roger Pirates actually erupted with such a terrifying power.
