Shakky said in surprise, "What I didn't expect was that Akira was actually imprisoned by the Navy in Impel Down. No wonder there was no news for ten years. It seems that this time, he was brought out by Luffy's accidental encounter."
Rayleigh said, "Being imprisoned by the Navy for ten years without any news leaking out, the Navy really values him enough. Perhaps even Sengoku didn't expect that this war would actually release him. There will be a good show to watch next."
At this time, in the New World, the Beasts Pirates and the Red-Haired Pirates finally collided in the Whitebeard Pirates' territory.
The Beasts Pirates, led by Kaido, were originally preparing to take the Whitebeard Pirates' territory in one fell swoop, but they didn't expect the Red-Haired Pirates to actually appear and stop them. Thus, a war between the two sides was imminent.
However, the two sides didn't actually fight. Instead, the captains of the two sides met and began negotiations.
Navy Headquarters!
Akira's healing didn't last very long. He didn't actually have any serious injuries on his body. It was just that he had been locked up by iron chains for ten years, causing bone dislocations and so on. After being treated by Minazuki, he quickly recovered.
The moment Akira came out of Minazuki, his entire spirit had returned to its peak state. Holding the Death God Blade, he looked coldly at the Navy Headquarters' execution platform, a cruel smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.
"Akira!"
Seeing Akira appear, Thatch and Jinbe immediately excitedly came over. Thatch even gave Akira a big hug, saying happily, "Akira, you brat, you've finally appeared. Do you know that we were worried sick about you with no news for ten years? Pops was thinking about you every day."
Akira also excitedly hugged Thatch, and then released him, smiling and saying, "It's nothing. I was just locked up by the Navy for ten years. In order not to worry you, I didn't notify you."
"You brat." Thatch punched Akira unhappily, saying, "We're family. You didn't think of us when you encountered difficulties? If we knew that you had been captured by the Navy, we would definitely come to rescue you like this."
Akira said, "It's precisely because I knew this that I was even more worried. That would only increase casualties. Look, I'm still out now, aren't I?"
Thatch said helplessly, "You're right no matter what you say."
Akira's gaze landed on Thatch's severed arm, and his expression became very gloomy. He said coldly, "Did Teach cut off your arm?"
Thatch sighed and said, "Don't talk about this. No one would have thought that that guy would actually betray us. If I hadn't eaten the Snow-Snow Fruit you gave me, I'm afraid I would have already died at his hands. Thinking about it now, I should have listened to you back then and been careful of that guy. You really had foresight."
When Blackbeard had joined the Whitebeard Pirates, Akira had raised objections and had also targeted him everywhere later. Except for a few people who had a good relationship with Akira, everyone else felt that Akira was a bit petty and were dissatisfied with him. But now, looking back, they all felt that they were ridiculous. The facts proved that Akira's vision was correct. Blackbeard was a natural rebel and had almost killed Thatch.
Akira said, "It's useless to say this now. This war is Teach's conspiracy. He captured Ace and handed Ace over to Navy Headquarters, and then forced us to start a war with Navy Headquarters so that he could reap the benefits."
Hearing Akira's words, Thatch was immediately shocked and asked, "How do you know?"
Akira said, "Because I saw Teach when I escaped from Impel Down before. This guy wanted to invade Impel Down, release the criminals in Impel Down, and find some powerful criminals as his companions, taking advantage of the opportunity of Navy Headquarters and us starting a war. Most importantly, I guess that he has even bigger plans. His target might be Pops."
"What did you say? Teach's target might be Pops?" Thatch and Jinbe were both shocked to hear Akira's words.
Akira nodded and said, "Thatch, you should be clear that Blackbeard's body structure is a bit special, right? If I'm not mistaken, the reason why he joined our Whitebeard Pirates was for the Dark-Dark Fruit, because the Dark-Dark Fruit has the ability to absorb. Coupled with his special body, I'm afraid it will allow him to obtain two or more Devil Fruit abilities. Pops' Tremor-Tremor Fruit is probably his target. Of course, this is also my guess."
Although Akira said that this was a guess, Thatch and Jinbe both believed his words very much.
Jinbe said, "Akira, although what you said may be a bit absurd, I know that you definitely wouldn't be the kind of person to make groundless accusations. However, what we need to worry about now isn't Blackbeard. Our biggest enemy right now is Navy Headquarters. How to rescue Ace and then escape from Navy Headquarters. This is the most crucial thing."
Thatch agreed, "Jinbe is right. The key now is to rescue Ace."
Akira said, "I know this. Ace is Roger-san's son. Roger-san also did me a favor, so I will definitely do everything in my power to rescue Ace. I'm telling you this just to let you be mentally prepared. We're not really finished with just defeating Navy Headquarters. We also need to be careful of the enemy behind us."
Thatch said, "Okay, we know. But how are we going to rescue Ace now?"
Akira narrowed his eyes and looked at the execution platform, saying in a deep voice, "Wanting to rush to the execution platform isn't an easy thing. The execution platform is now guarded by Sengoku and Garp. You're all clear about how powerful these two people are. Except for Pops, I'm afraid no one can rescue Ace from their hands. So, we must think of other ways."
"Then what good method do you have?" Jinbe asked.
Akira's gaze suddenly turned to Luffy, who was running around in the Navy crowd, smiling and saying, "There is indeed a method. We need someone who isn't very strong, who wouldn't make the Navy too wary, but at the same time, is able to create miracles."
Following Akira's gaze, Thatch and Jinbe were both a bit surprised. Jinbe asked, "Akira, you're not talking about Luffy, are you?"
Akira nodded and said, "That's right. It's him. He's the best candidate."
Thatch quickly shook his head and said, "No way. He's just a rookie. How could he possess that kind of ability?"
Akira thought to himself, "He's the protagonist of One Piece. He's someone who can create miracles. In the original story, he relied on him to rescue Ace."
Of course, he couldn't say these words. So, he said, "Don't underestimate him. If it weren't for him, we wouldn't have been able to escape from Impel Down. What's even more important is his identity. He's the grandson of the Navy hero, Garp. If someone else charged towards the execution platform, do you think anyone could rescue someone from Sengoku and Garp's hands? But he's Garp's own grandson. Garp himself definitely wouldn't attack. Even Sengoku would take into account his old friend's face and wouldn't use a death blow. So, the opportunity will come."
In fact, in One Piece, Luffy being able to rescue Ace was really too reliant on luck. First of all, Sengoku's main energy was focused on Whitebeard, and Garp couldn't attack his own grandson. That's why Luffy had the opportunity to rescue Ace. Although Ace still died later, that was all to save Luffy. So, Akira was thinking of using Luffy to make a fuss, just like in the original story.
"Can it really work?"
Thatch and Jinbe both asked Akira uncertainly. Although Akira's words were very logical, the two of them were still skeptical, lacking confidence.
Akira shrugged and said, "We'll only know if it works after we try it. Asking me, I can't give you an accurate answer. I'm just saying that this is a possible method. Of course, we can also use it as a strategy. We still try our best to rescue Ace. If we can do it, then we won't need his help."
Akira looked ahead and said, "If we want to save Ace, we must first break into the Navy Headquarters' plaza. However, the Navy won't let us succeed so easily."
Having watched One Piece, he naturally knew very well that the Navy would set up an ambush in the bay, forming an encirclement wall, wanting to trap them in the encirclement wall and then easily eliminate them. He also saw Oars' current position. It was the same as in the original story, falling in the direction leading to the Navy Headquarters' plaza.
13 "Jinbe, you go follow Luffy and secretly protect him. I also need to take action. I haven't taken action for ten years. My whole body is about to rust." Holding the Death God Blade, Akira's eyes revealed excitement. He had been trapped for ten years. Now he had finally escaped, and it was also such an earth-shattering war. It was hard for him not to be excited.
Jinbe didn't have the slightest bit of dissatisfaction with Akira's orders. It should be known that even in the Whitebeard Pirates, Akira's position was very high. Even Marco and the others sometimes listened to him. What was even more important was that Jinbe had spent some time with Akira before and had some understanding and trust in Akira's personality.
Thatch said to Akira, "Akira, I also need to lead people to break through."
Akira said, "Okay. The Navy's secret weapon, the Pacifista, has been brought out. Those are robots made based on Kuma and Kizaru's abilities. They're difficult for ordinary people to deal with. You have the Snow-Snow Fruit's ability. You're just right for dealing with them."
Thatch said with a smile, "Leave it to me. I guarantee that they won't have the chance to exert their power."
They saw Thatch quickly rush into the battle between the Navy and the pirates. Thatch had already been the 4th Division Commander of the Whitebeard Pirates before obtaining the Snow-Snow Fruit. After obtaining the Snow-Snow Fruit, his strength had improved by leaps and bounds. The power exerted by the same fruit in the hands of different people was naturally also different.
In the original story, the one who had obtained the Snow-Snow Fruit was a woman under Doflamingo. In her hands, she couldn't even beat Zoro with the Snow-Snow Fruit's power. But the Snow-Snow Fruit, in Thatch's hands, exerted amazing power. Although it wasn't as terrifying as Aokiji's Ice-Ice Fruit, the nature was not much different. He didn't have as powerful freezing ability as Aokiji's Ice-Ice Fruit. Instead, he could create a climate like a snowy world. The power was also extremely terrifying.
