Akira smiled slightly, and said, I know that hitting this guy will cause a Navy Admiral to be dispatched. How about this, help me give a message to the Navy Headquarters.
Oh, your current Fleet Admiral is Sengoku, right? Help me give a message to Fleet Admiral Sengoku.
Hearing that Akira actually wanted him to give a message to Navy Fleet Admiral Sengoku, that Navy Captain's whole body trembled again.
He instinctively felt that something was wrong. This young man definitely wouldn't let him convey anything good.
As expected, when he heard what Akira wanted him to convey, he almost fainted.
However, after looking at Akira, and then looking at the Celestial Dragon who was being held hostage by Akira, he knew that he had no choice, and could only grit his teeth.
"Kid, report your name. I'll tell Fleet Admiral Sengoku everything here."
Akira thought for a moment, and then said, "My name is Newgate D. Akira.
Your Fleet Admiral Sengoku should know me. If you want to give me a nickname, don't give me those messy ones. Just call me 'Grim Reaper'."
"Grim Reaper, Newgate D. Akira?"
The Navy Captain always felt that this name was a bit familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
After remembering it, he immediately turned his head without hesitation, completely ignoring the crying Celestial Dragon.
"You're very annoying!"
The Celestial Dragon had been chattering in his ear all the time.
Akira really couldn't stand it anymore, and directly slapped him on the head, instantly knocking the Celestial Dragon unconscious, and he fell to the ground.
Geoffrey White looked at Akira with a bitter smile, and said, I said you were a madman before, but I still underestimated you.
You're even more crazy than a madman. I don't know where you got the courage from. Your strength is powerful, but it's still far from a Navy Admiral.
Are you really going to stay here and wait for a Navy Admiral to arrive?
Akira said, "Although I don't have any advantages, I still keep my word. If I said I'll wait, then I'll naturally wait."
After finishing speaking, Akira asked Geoffrey White, It's you, though. I've always been very curious.
Why did so many pirate groups unite to go to Fish-Man Island to capture fish-men? Moreover, why were you caught by the auction house and auctioned off after that?
Hearing this, Geoffrey White's expression immediately revealed anger.
He took a few deep breaths, and then looked at Akira. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "Sigh, it's all because of greed."
"Oh?" Akira was even more curious. What exactly was it that could make so many pirate groups join?
Geoffrey White said, "There's nothing that can't be said. Have you heard of the Royal Shichibukai?"
"Royal Shichibukai?" Akira's expression changed.
Geoffrey White thought that Akira didn't know, so he continued, It's normal that you don't know, because not many people know about the Royal Shichibukai system.
It was only not long ago that a Navy Fleet Admiral proposed a system to suppress the pirates in the New World.
Although it hasn't been completely approved yet, the possibility of it passing is very high.
Hearing this, Akira finally understood. Because he had indeed not heard any rumors about the Royal Shichibukai.
However, he was also clear that the Royal Shichibukai system would probably be implemented soon.
It was just that he didn't understand. What did this Royal Shichibukai system have to do with Geoffrey White and his group going to Fish-Man Island to capture fish-men?
So he asked, "Then what does your trip to Fish-Man Island have to do with this Royal Shichibukai?"
Geoffrey White sighed, and said, Speaking of this, I have to start from the beginning. In fact, those pirate groups weren't united by us. Instead, we were contacted by someone else.
It was the people from that auction house. They told us about the Royal Shichibukai system, and told us that they could help us obtain the Royal Shichibukai system.
So we pirate groups chose to believe them in the face of such benefits, and went to Fish-Man Island to capture mermaids for them.
Oh, right, you still don't know what the Royal Shichibukai means, right?
It's that the World Government gives seven pirates power and qualifications, making them an affiliated group under the World Government Navy.
After becoming a Shichibukai, they will be recognized by the World Government, will no longer be wanted by the Navy, and will have the right to plunder at sea.
It's just that a portion of the wealth they plunder has to be handed over to the World Government.
You're also a pirate. You should know how rare it is to become a Royal Shichibukai.
Once you become a Shichibukai, you can walk openly in the World Government's territory, without worrying about being chased, and you won't be shouted at by everyone.
Akira said, You did those things for the sake of the Royal Shichibukai identity?
However, why did you think that the people from that auction house had the ability to help you become a Royal Shichibukai? Who is the person behind it?
Geoffrey White said, We don't know who exactly it is, but we know that it must be someone with a big background.
Some people even said that the person behind it is a Celestial Dragon, but no one knows whether it's true or not.
However, even if no one knows, everyone believes that they have that ability. That's why we made that decision.
Akira nodded, and said, "I understand. However, I'm even more curious. Why were you auctioned off by that auction house?"
Hearing Akira's words, Geoffrey White's expression immediately became very unsightly.
He said with a gloomy face, Because we didn't catch any mermaids, so we were sold out by the other party.
They tricked several of us pirate captains together, but secretly attacked us, and captured all of us, saying that we didn't bring them any benefits, and forced us to become auction items.
Speaking of this, Geoffrey White closed his eyes painfully.
After a moment, he opened them, and sighed, So, everything was because of greed. Some of the captains of our pirate groups didn't go, but some people couldn't help but go.
I was one of them. So we were tricked. Apart from me, all the other pirate captains who went died.
They all died by suicide. They would rather die than become auction items, and become slaves.
Only me, only me, only I'm still alive. But if I had a choice, I would rather die. But I don't have a choice. I can't die. I have a reason why I must live.
So, I became an auction item, and even became a Celestial Dragon's slave. Just like what you saw just now, living without dignity, humiliated, and indignant, but I still have to live.
Geoffrey White knelt on the ground painfully, and his fists hammered the ground. His whole person looked very painful and crazy.
On his chest, a mark of the Hoof of the Soaring Dragon was revealed. This was the mark of a Celestial Dragon's slave.
Before, at the auction, Akira had seen that Geoffrey White seemed to have some unspeakable secret.
Now seeing him like this, he was even more certain. Geoffrey White didn't lack the courage to commit suicide. It was probably because of some unspeakable secret.
Akira said, "Longing to live so much, even if you lose all dignity, you should have someone more important or something else to protect, right?"
Geoffrey White suddenly raised his head, and asked in shock, "How do you know?"
Akira said, "There aren't many things in the world that can make a tough guy sacrifice everything."
Geoffrey White sighed, and said, You're right. I have a son. He was captured by the people from the auction house.
They forced me to become an auction item, and made me become a slave. If I committed suicide or ran away, they would kill my son.
So, no matter how much humiliation I endure, I must endure it. For my son, he's my only relative in this world. So I must endure it. I can definitely endure it. I can endure anything.
Looking at Geoffrey White's appearance, Akira sighed, Thug, you may not be considered a good person, but you're definitely a qualified father.
It's just that have you ever thought about what your son would think if he knew that you were enduring such humiliation?
Geoffrey White was stunned. He said, "I've never thought about it like that. My son is only a few years old. I just want him to live well. I don't care about everything else."
"Where is your son now?" Akira asked.
Geoffrey White said, The people from the auction house used my son to threaten me. So my son must be in the auction house.
Newgate D. Akira Stone, thank you for saving me. While the people from the auction house still don't know that I'm free, I'm going to save my son.
My life is yours. After I save my son, you can do whatever you want with it.
Akira shook his head, and said, I saved you, not for your repayment. I don't need your repayment.
If you save your son, then take your son and leave this place. Go to a place where no one knows you, and live a good life.
Geoffrey White said firmly, "I will save my son. I will definitely come back to find you."
After finishing speaking, Geoffrey White took one last look at Akira, and then left the street quickly with incomparable determination.
He didn't say how to save people, and Akira didn't ask. He felt that since Geoffrey White had said these words, it meant that he definitely had confidence.
Moreover, he had saved Geoffrey White, just because he couldn't bear to see him suffer such humiliation. He didn't have any purpose.
Watching Geoffrey White leave, now only Akira was left standing on the entire street.
Those bodyguards and Navy soldiers were intimidated by his Conqueror's Haki, and wouldn't wake up for a while.
Moreover, the chaos here had already attracted the Navy's high attention. So in the following period of time, no one would come again.
However, not long after, Akira heard a burst of neat footsteps ringing out. He didn't need to think to know that it was the Navy from the Sabaody Archipelago who had come.
However, they didn't approach Akira. Instead, they surrounded the entire street, and didn't attack. It seemed that they were waiting for someone to arrive.
Seeing that the Navy didn't move, Akira didn't run away. He just walked to the Celestial Dragon's sedan chair and sat down.
He was also leisurely waiting. He knew that if he didn't move, the Navy shouldn't attack. But once he made a move to leave, the Navy would definitely attack at all costs...
While Akira was waiting patiently, at this time, at Marineford, a very important meeting was also being held at the Navy Headquarters.
The focus of this meeting was only one thing, which was the Royal Shichibukai system.
He only saw that in the largest conference room at the Navy Headquarters, the Navy's high-level officials had basically all arrived, except for those Vice Admirals who were stationed in the local areas.
The remaining Vice Admirals and Admirals had all arrived.
Navy Fleet Admiral Sengoku was sitting in the chairman's seat. Below, on both sides, were the Navy's high-level officials.
On Sengoku's left was Vice Admiral Tsuru, who was a very senior Vice Admiral in the Navy, and was the current Chief of Staff of the Navy.
Below her were Aokiji, Garp, and a group of Navy Vice Admirals. On the right were Admiral Akainu, Admiral Kizaru, Navy Chief Instructor Zephyr, and some Navy Vice Admirals.
The total number of people added up to more than twenty.
At this time, everyone's gaze was on Sengoku. The meeting had been going on for a while. It had summarized the Navy's recent affairs, as well as various arrangements, etc.
What was going to be done next was the focus of the meeting, the Royal Shichibukai system.
