Sengoku said, "Fleet Admiral, I think the people from the Roger Pirates aren't worth worrying about. Ever since the Roger Pirates disbanded the pirate crew, it's impossible for them to gather together again. The reason why they were able to act together this time was also because of Roger. And now that Roger is dead, it's as if they've lost their leader. I'm afraid they won't appear in our sight again in the future."
Vice Admiral Tsuru also agreed, "What Sengoku said is right. Roger led his crew to conquer the New World, and found the legendary great treasure. Although I don't know what exactly they obtained, judging from Roger's and these people's subsequent actions, they probably won't appear again in the future."
Zephyr snorted coldly, "Pirates are pirates. Even if they disband, it still can't change their nature of doing all kinds of evil. The people from the Roger Pirates are even more so. The only way to prevent them from doing evil is to capture them and put them in prison."
Zephyr was one of the most senior Marines in the Navy. He had been dealing with pirates his whole life, and had subjugated countless pirate crews. But he had never killed a single enemy. So he was known as 'Non-Killer'. But he hated pirates immensely, because his wife and son had died at the hands of pirates. Heartbroken, he chose to resign. It was just that his resignation wasn't successful. Instead, he was retained, and transferred to become the Navy Chief Instructor.
Before Zephyr became the Navy Chief Instructor, he had interacted with well-known great pirates on the sea, such as Roger, Whitebeard, Golden Lion, and the others. He knew the terror of the Roger Pirates very well. And he hated pirates immensely. So even if Roger was dead, he still had a great fear of the Roger Pirates.
Everyone also knew Zephyr's attitude towards pirates, so they didn't refute him when they heard him speak. But actually, whether it was Sengoku or the others, they weren't too inclined to target the people from the Roger Pirates, because it was completely unnecessary. Compared to the already disbanded Roger Pirates, Akira Stone's threat was even greater.
Although everyone didn't quite agree with Zephyr's words, no one raised any objections. They just shifted the topic to other things.
Kong said, "Today's battle has allowed us to witness the strength of many young pirates. This is just the beginning. I don't know what kind of storm Roger's words will bring. In the future, perhaps more idiots will be deceived by Roger's words, and become pirates who do all kinds of evil. So in order to cope with this changing era, we Navy must not slack off."
Speaking to here, Kong said to Zephyr with a face full of solemnity, "Zephyr, you're our Navy Chief Instructor. So the future of the Navy will depend on you."
Although he was a little angry that Kong and the others didn't agree with his thoughts, Zephyr was, after all, a man with a strong sense of justice. So after hearing Kong's words, he nodded and said calmly, "No useless soldiers come from my hands. Next, I will pay more attention to the training of new recruits. You can rest assured completely."
In terms of teaching ability, the few of them combined probably couldn't compare to Zephyr. So Kong still trusted Zephyr's words very much. To put it exaggeratedly, if even Zephyr couldn't train excellent soldiers, then no one else would have that ability.
Not to mention Kong and Sengoku and the other Navy high-ranking officials discussing the handling of this incident and the future trends, Marco was flying with Akira Stone and Roger's body all the way. Because he was worried that the Navy would catch up, he flew in one direction in one breath. He didn't know how long he had been flying. Marco only felt his head spinning extremely, and he might be unable to hold on at any time. So he had no choice but to find a place to land nearby.
"Akira Stone, I'm going to find a place to land. Get ready."
Marco said to Akira Stone on his back. But after a moment, he didn't receive a response. He immediately felt that something was wrong, and quickly turned his head to look at his back. When he saw it, he revealed a look of nervousness, because Akira Stone had already closed his eyes, and fallen next to Roger's body. This scared Marco a lot. Fortunately, he discovered that although Akira Stone's aura was weak, he hadn't died. Only then did he barely feel relieved.
He immediately found the nearest island to stop. Having flown for so long, he didn't know where he had arrived. But they hadn't passed through the Calm Belt. In other words, they hadn't left the East Blue yet. They were still within the East Blue.
After landing, Marco checked Akira Stone's injuries in the first instant. He just glanced at them slightly, and he couldn't help but frown, because the injuries on Akira Stone's body were too serious. There were several places with burns. Akainu's attacks were indeed very terrifying. Akira Stone had only fought him for a while, and he had become covered in injuries. However, what brought the most serious injuries to Akira Stone was Kong's last punch. Fortunately, half of the power of that punch had been blocked by Tensa Zangetsu. Otherwise, Akira Stone would have very likely been killed on the spot.
"His internal organs have different degrees of damage. How could he be injured so badly?"
After checking Akira Stone's injuries, Marco's expression became very ugly. Akira Stone's internal organs had all been damaged. His physical strength and spirit had both been severely damaged. If it wasn't for relying on a will, he probably wouldn't have been able to escape at that time.
"What should I do?"
Marco was pacing around anxiously. Although he had also suffered a not-light injury, his recovery ability was very strong. As long as he had time, he would be able to recover completely soon. But Akira Stone was different. He needed to receive emergency treatment now. Otherwise, if it dragged on, he would definitely be in danger of his life.
It was just that although Marco knew this, he didn't have any way. After all, he wasn't a doctor. The place where Akira Stone was seriously injured was also an internal injury. He was powerless. If they could exchange at this moment, Marco couldn't wait to transfer his Devil Fruit ability to Akira Stone.
Marco was really regretting it very much at this time. He shouldn't have agreed to Akira Stone's plan in the first place. What kind of relationship did Roger's body have with them? Now it was good. For the sake of a body, they had reached this point. Akira Stone was even in danger of his life at any time. It was completely a losing proposition.
It was just that what was the use of regretting now? Just as Marco was extremely anxious, Akira Stone's eyeballs moved in his unconsciousness. Marco, who had been paying attention to him, immediately revealed a look of joy. He called out softly, "Akira Stone, Akira Stone."
He didn't know if Marco's call had worked, but Akira Stone actually slowly opened his eyes.
Marco said happily, "Akira Stone, you're finally awake. You scared me to death. How are you feeling now?"
Opening his eyes, Akira Stone only felt his head spinning. Various parts of his body were also sending out intense pain. However, after hearing Marco's question, he revealed an ugly smile.
"It should, it shouldn't be good. My whole body hurts. Marco, get my sword for me."
Marco said anxiously, "Akira Stone, what are you saying? We've reached this point, and you're still thinking about your sword. You should be more concerned about your injuries. Your condition isn't good. Why bother with that broken sword?"
Akira Stone was weak all over. He could only endure the pain, and rolled his eyes, and said, "It's precisely because of my injuries that I need it. Stop talking so much nonsense. If you don't want me to die, then quickly hand it to me."
Seeing Akira Stone being so insistent, Marco didn't dare to say anything more, and hurriedly handed him the Death God Blade.
Akira Stone raised one hand with difficulty, and held it on the hilt of the sword. Then, he gently drew it out. After he drew out the blade, it immediately turned into a light green Zanpakutō that was more curved than other Zanpakutō.
Under Marco's shocked gaze, Akira Stone, who had drawn out the Zanpakutō, slashed at his arm. He immediately slashed a cut on Marco's arm. Blood dripped on the Zanpakutō.
"Ah, Akira Stone, what are you doing?" Marco shouted in shock when he saw that Akira Stone had actually slashed him with a sword.
Akira Stone chuckled, "Sorry, my hand slipped, my hand slipped. I didn't notice, I didn't notice."
"You call that not noticing? I think you did it on purpose." Of course, Marco wouldn't believe Akira Stone's nonsense. No matter how much his hand slipped, it wouldn't have slipped onto him, right? However, he was just complaining a little. He didn't really blame Akira Stone.
Of course, Akira Stone had deliberately slashed Marco, because he needed Marco's blood to help him complete the release of the Zanpakutō.
During the battle in Loguetown before, Akira Stone had successfully released Zangetsu's Bankai. So his next Zanpakutō had also been revealed. It was just that during the battle before, he didn't have time to care at all. It wasn't until after he left that he knew which Zanpakutō he had unsealed.
Minazuki. It turned out that the sixth Zanpakutō that Akira Stone had unsealed was actually a very rare healing-type Zanpakutō. The Zanpakutō of Retsu Unohana, the captain of the Fourth Division, a top expert in Soul Society.
The number of times that Minazuki appeared in Bleach was very small, but it was the top Zanpakutō. Not only because of its healing ability, but also because the power that erupted after Bankai was also very amazing. What was even more important was that its owner, Retsu Unohana, was an extremely terrifying existence. In terms of combat power, she was at the very top in the Bleach manga. The first Kenpachi wasn't just for show.
The most important thing was that this Zanpakutō had come at the right time. What was even more unbelievable to Akira Stone was that its Shikai release condition was actually the Phoenix Fruit, and the Bankai condition was the Op-Op Fruit.
To be honest, after knowing Minazuki's release conditions, Akira Stone himself was a little suspicious that he was blessed by Heaven. When he was seriously injured, such a wonderful Zanpakutō ability had actually come, it was simply like sending charcoal in the snow.
"Release it! Minazuki!"
Akira Stone held Minazuki, and chanted softly. Immediately, a green light shone brightly. Then, a huge creature with one eye and three legs, with a light green body, somewhat similar to a manta ray, appeared in front of him and Marco. It was also floating in the air, and when it appeared, it also made a strange cry, as if it was greeting Akira Stone.
"Akira Stone, what is this?"
Marco looked at the huge creature that had suddenly appeared in shock. After Minazuki was released, it was actually much larger than the phoenix after he transformed. Moreover, it looked very strange. He was very certain that he had never seen this kind of monster before.
Akira Stone said, "This is my new Zanpakutō form, Minazuki."
Marco said, "No, I mean, why did you bring it out? You're already like this now. You're still using the sword's ability. Can you bear it?"
