Thatch sighed, "If that kid wants to leave, it's indeed hard to find him again. Forget it, let's go back. At worst, we'll get scolded by Dad."
He wasn't too concerned. With Akira's current strength, as long as he didn't encounter too strong an opponent, even if he couldn't win, escaping shouldn't be too much of a problem.
"Yeah, let's go." Jozu nodded, and then the two of them left with the people from the Whitebeard Pirates.
And where was Akira at this time? He was sitting on a ship departing from Fish-Man Island. However, he wasn't going to the New World, but to the first half of the Grand Line.
The ship he was sitting on was a ship from Fish-Man Island, and it was even Jinbe who personally sent him off.
"Akira, are you really planning to go to the first half of the Grand Line alone?"
On the ship, Jinbe asked Akira seriously. Before, Akira had told him that he wanted to ask him to help send him to the Grand Line. Jinbe had agreed without hesitation.
However, he hadn't expected that Akira would actually be acting alone. But he still followed his decision and personally sent Akira over.
Akira said, "I've already decided, and I've already taken action."
Jinbe asked curiously, "Isn't it good for you to stay in the Whitebeard Pirates? Why do you want to go out alone?"
Akira said, It's precisely because I'm staying in the Whitebeard Pirates that everyone dotes on me the most. They don't let me do anything, and they don't even let me go to battles.
Do you think I can make progress in such an environment? I don't want to be protected too well, so I have to come out alone.
Jinbe revealed a look of understanding. He nodded and said, "I understand."
Akira smiled and said, "As expected, you still understand. Jinbe, you're very excellent, really. The scope of Fish-Man Island is too small. It's not suitable for you. You should go to a broader stage."
Jinbe smiled bitterly and said, "Akira, I'm not the same as you. I still have to guard Fish-Man Island. I can't act according to my own temper like you. So although I envy you, the path you're talking about isn't suitable for me."
Akira smiled and said, "Jinbe, remember my words. Sooner or later, you'll become a pirate, and you'll also become an amazing pirate. I definitely won't be wrong."
Jinbe was a Shichibukai in the original work, and could also be considered a big shot among pirates, so Akira would say it so confidently.
While the two were talking, the ship had reached the surface of the sea from the seabed. After the power was increased, it rushed out of the sea directly.
At the same time, the coating on the ship also 'bang' all dissipated.
After coming out of the sea, Akira asked Jinbe.
Jinbe replied, "This is near the Sabaody Archipelago. Because we're a ship from Fish-Man Island, we can't get close to the docks around the Sabaody Archipelago."
The Sabaody Archipelago was formed by a large area of islands.
Here, fish-men were discriminated against, so Jinbe couldn't drive the ship directly to the area around the Sabaody Archipelago, so as to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Akira said, "Alright, I got it. Give me a small boat. I can go over myself."
They had already arrived around the Sabaody Archipelago, so Akira wasn't too worried. As long as he had a small boat, he could arrive.
Jinbe lowered a small boat, and then said to Akira, "Akira, if you encounter anything here, go to a place and mention my name directly. You'll get help." Then, he told Akira a place in a low voice.
After Akira memorized it carefully, he turned around and jumped onto the small boat. Standing below, he said to Jinbe on the ship, Jinbe, thank you very much.
If you have anything in the future, just look for me directly, or go to the Whitebeard Pirates. They'll help you.
After Akira said goodbye to Jinbe, he steered the small boat towards the Sabaody Archipelago.
Steering a small boat wasn't a problem for him, and the distance was so short. He quickly arrived at the Sabaody Archipelago.
He sold the small boat to the boatman at the dock casually. Akira walked onto the Sabaody Archipelago on foot. This wasn't the first time he had come to the Sabaody Archipelago.
However, he had been in a hurry the previous two times. He hadn't strolled around here at all, and didn't understand the situation here.
Akira entered Island 36 of the Sabaody Archipelago. As soon as he entered the island, he saw soap bubble parks and other places for entertainment. The bubbles on the Sabaody Archipelago were indeed very unique and beautiful. Akira walked and admired them with interest.
Because he had originally planned to come out alone to play, he didn't have any purpose. He just strolled around the Sabaody Archipelago. For two or three days in a row, he strolled around the Sabaody Archipelago.
While Akira was playing on the Sabaody Archipelago, Jozu and Thatch also returned to the Whitebeard Pirates with their people.
"Are you saying that Akira went out alone?" Whitebeard looked at Jozu and Thatch, and one couldn't see any expression on his face.
Jozu nodded and replied, "Yes, Dad. He ran away alone while we weren't paying attention."
Whitebeard revealed a bitter smile, and said, "That kid. I knew he wasn't that peaceful. I originally thought that letting him go out for a trip could hone his temper, but I didn't expect him to just leave without saying goodbye."
Marco smiled and said, "That's just his style, Dad. Do you need to send someone to catch him back?"
Whitebeard glared at him and said, "Catch him back? How are we going to catch him? Who are we going to send to catch him? With you guys, if we send you, not only will you not be able to catch him back, but you'll be tricked into messing around with him."
Marco smiled awkwardly, because the possibility that Whitebeard was talking about was extremely high.
Among the Whitebeard Pirates, the only person who could suppress Akira was probably Whitebeard himself.
It would be useless to send more people. After all, you couldn't possibly use force to bring him back, right?
Whitebeard said, "Don't worry about him. Order the people to pay attention at all times after they have news of him.
If he encounters any danger, immediately mobilize all the power that can be used to help him. Although that kid doesn't let people worry, we can't completely ignore him. Otherwise, I don't know how much trouble he'll cause."
Marco smiled and said, "Let him cause trouble if he wants to cause trouble. Anyway, he'll only harm others. Moreover, Akira is measured in what he does. He knows what things he should do and what things he shouldn't do."
Whitebeard said, He has a sense of measure my ass. I've lived for so many years. That kid is definitely the most audacious person I've ever seen.
I'm afraid there aren't many things in this world that he wouldn't dare to do, unless he really can't do it.
Whitebeard had lived for so many years. What kind of people hadn't he seen? He had long grasped Akira's personality clearly.
Akira was indeed more mature than ordinary people, but he was definitely a crazy person in his bones, just like he was when he was young, or even more exaggerated than him.
That was why he had always been worried about Akira.
Akira was still wandering around on the Sabaody Archipelago. To be honest, he hadn't thought about where he should go.
Although he had a purpose, wanting to find those Devil Fruits that could unlock his Zanpakuto, the Whitebeard Pirates had searched for so long without finding any.
It would definitely be even more difficult for him to find them alone now.
"Huh."
While walking, Akira suddenly stopped, and his gaze landed on the hotel next to him.
"Shakky's Rip-off Bar."
Seeing this name, Akira immediately knew what this place was. "Shakky's Rip-off Bar? Isn't this the hotel opened by Rayleigh's lover, the female pirate Shakky? So I unknowingly came to Area 13."
Because he was alone, Akira didn't have a purpose. Even if he came to Area 13, he still didn't pay attention.
"That's right."
Akira suddenly thought that Shakky seemed to be an information broker. Maybe he could get information about Devil Fruits from her.
Thinking of this, Akira no longer hesitated, and went straight to Shakky's Rip-off Bar.
"Ding ding ding..."
A gust of wind chimes rang. Akira pushed open the door and entered Shakky's Rip-off Bar hotel. After entering, Akira looked around the hotel.
There wasn't a single customer. There was only a tall, short-haired woman, leisurely smoking a cigarette, standing next to the bar.
"Welcome."
