"But no matter how powerful he is, no matter how much potential he has, he'll only have a dead end when the Admiral comes."
The Navy people had a blind worship for the Navy Admirals, because the Navy Admirals represented the Navy's highest combat power.
It was also relying on the power of the Navy Admirals that the Navy Headquarters could fight the New World's Four Emperors, and suppress the first half of the Grand Line. So in the eyes of the Navy, the Admirals were synonymous with invincibility.
Just as the Navy Rear Admiral and the Navy Captain were talking, suddenly a Navy soldier ran over in a hurry, and reported, "Rear Admiral Nordmann, we've received news that Admiral Kizaru is personally rushing over, and has already arrived at the Sabaody Archipelago."
"It's Admiral Kizaru? Great. That kid is dead for sure." Navy Rear Admiral Nordmann shouted excitedly, "Where is Admiral Kizaru?"
The soldier who reported immediately said with an embarrassed face, "I don't know. The news that came back was that after Admiral Kizaru arrived at the Sabaody Archipelago, he acted alone. No one knows where he went."
"What, Kizaru..." The Navy Rear Admiral was just about to speak, but suddenly he saw a yellow light constantly flashing on the surrounding buildings. His eyes widened, and he shouted in disbelief, "Is that Admiral Kizaru?"
That's right. The yellow light that was quickly approaching here was naturally Kizaru. After he came to the Sabaody Archipelago, he didn't act together with the other Navy soldiers at all.
Instead, he quickly got rid of them, and then used the fastest speed to rush towards the location where Akira was.
As an Admiral, Kizaru naturally had absolute confidence in himself. In his opinion, Akira was just a kid in his teens after all. Even if he had good talent, he still needed time to grow. He alone was enough to deal with him.
"Damn it. Why is it Kizaru who came?"
When Kizaru landed in front of Akira, he cursed angrily. If he had to say who he least wanted to fight among the Navy's Three Admirals, it would definitely be Kizaru. This guy's speed was really too fast. Even if he used Tensa Zangetsu, he probably wouldn't be able to compare to the speed of the Pika Pika no Mi.
"Newgate D. Akira Stone." Kizaru looked at Akira with a gloomy face.
Although he was extremely unhappy in his heart, Akira didn't dare to be careless in the slightest. He felt that this wave was really too unprofitable. The opponent was Kizaru, and there were countless Navy soldiers outside. It was really not that easy for him to escape now.
Akira grabbed the Celestial Dragon on the ground. This Celestial Dragon was now his only hope to escape.
"Hey, Kizaru. I told you before. Aokiji. Let Aokiji come over. Why did you come?" Akira shouted at Kizaru with dissatisfaction while grabbing the Celestial Dragon.
Hearing these words, Kizaru became even more angry. He pointed at Akira, and said coldly, "Kid, it'll be difficult for you to escape today even if you grow wings."
Akira took a breath, and then said with a smile, "Then that's hard to say. I said, Kizaru, I don't want to fight you. I'm giving you two choices now. Either step aside, or I'll kill this guy."
Saying that, Akira's hand choked the Celestial Dragon's neck, instantly waking up the unconscious Celestial Dragon.
"Ah! Don't kill me. Don't kill me..."
After discovering his situation, the Celestial Dragon shouted in horror, his face full of fear.
The more afraid he was, the more advantageous it was for Akira. Akira said in a deep voice, "See that guy in the yellow clothes? He's Navy Admiral Kizaru. Now he wants to kill me. If I'm going to die and can't escape, I'll definitely kill you first. Having you, a Celestial Dragon, buried with me, I can be considered to have died where I belong. What do you think?"
The Celestial Dragon wasn't afraid of anything, but he was most afraid of death. So when he heard Akira's words, he was even more afraid. He shouted at Kizaru without hesitation, "Kizaru, I don't want to die. Save me. If you save me, my family won't treat you badly."
Kizaru's expression was extremely unsightly. If it was someone else, he wouldn't care at all. It would be fine if they died. However, the Celestial Dragon was different. So many people around had seen it.
If he caused the Celestial Dragon to be killed, even if he was a Navy Admiral, he would definitely get into a lot of trouble. Maybe he wouldn't even be able to keep his Navy Admiral position.
Akira reminded, To be honest, I just wanted to teach you a lesson. I didn't want to kill you. But now I'm surrounded by the Navy Admiral and a large number of Navy soldiers. If I can't leave safely, then you'll be buried with me.
But if you don't want to die, there is a way. That is, you let them all step aside. Before I leave the Sabaody Archipelago, I'll let you go. How's that?
"Good, good, good!"
The Celestial Dragon was only thinking about living now. So he agreed to Akira's words without hesitation.
Akira said, "However, your words don't count. That's Admiral Kizaru. The Navy soldiers here have to listen to his orders. If he doesn't want to let me go, then I won't be able to leave at all. If I can't leave, then we can only die together."
Akira couldn't stop talking about death. The Celestial Dragon had long been scared out of his wits. How could he think of anything else in his head? He immediately shouted at Kizaru, "Admiral Kizaru, quickly tell your people to retreat. Let all the Navy soldiers retreat. Let him go. Let him go."
Kizaru said in a deep voice, "He's a major criminal wanted by the Navy. How can we let him leave?"
Hearing these words, the Celestial Dragon was immediately angry. He wasn't an idiot. He knew that the young man who was holding him hostage was definitely someone who did what he said. So he didn't dare to provoke Akira at all.
However, he wasn't afraid of Kizaru. Even if Kizaru was an Admiral, so what? He was a Celestial Dragon, the supreme Celestial Dragon.
"Kizaru, you're a Navy soldier. All the Navy soldiers are servants who serve our race. How dare you not listen to my words? Believe it or not, I'll make you unable to even be a Navy Admiral."
The angry Celestial Dragon could say anything. Although the Celestial Dragons were noble, they didn't have the qualifications to point fingers at a Navy Admiral. As for what he said about making Kizaru unable to even be a Navy Admiral, it was even more of a daydream.
After all, the world was still ruled by the Five Elders. No matter how much the Five Elders indulged the Celestial Dragons, they couldn't easily deal with a Navy Admiral.
Kizaru's face was ashen. If the Celestial Dragon was in his hands now, he would probably slap him directly. However, now, he could only endure his anger, and stare at Akira. He neither stepped aside, nor dared to act.
At this time, Navy Rear Admiral Nordmann quickly ran to Kizaru's side, and said in a low voice, "Admiral Kizaru."
...
"What is it?" Kizaru asked unhappily.
Facing the angry Kizaru, Navy Rear Admiral Nordmann shrank his neck, and said, "Admiral Kizaru, we've received orders from above. This Celestial Dragon is called Saint Rosward. He also has a high status in the Celestial Dragon race. We must protect him, no matter what means we use."
Hearing these words, Kizaru's arm trembled even more. It was really like adding fuel to the fire. With this order, even if he wanted to have any bad ideas, he had no way to implement them.
"What do you think we should do?" Kizaru asked the Navy Rear Admiral, suppressing his anger.
The Navy Rear Admiral said, "Admiral Kizaru, I think we should still listen to the orders. After all, it's an order directly issued from above. We can't disobey it."
The Navy Rear Admiral naturally didn't want the Celestial Dragon to die. You had to know that the Sabaody Archipelago was under his control. If something happened to the Celestial Dragon in his territory, his days as a Navy Rear Admiral would come to an end.
What's more, this Rosward had a high status in the Celestial Dragon race. He couldn't afford to provoke him even more.
So his biggest wish now was to quickly protect the Celestial Dragon's life, and send away this evil star, Akira. He didn't want to care about anything else. As for whether Kizaru could catch Akira, that wasn't within his scope of consideration.
People don't act for themselves, and heaven will punish them!
Kizaru's expression was gloomy. He said to Akira coldly, "Release the person, and I'll let you leave."
Akira shook his head, and said, "You, Kizaru, don't have any credibility in my eyes. For such an important person, I think it's better to release him after I leave the Sabaody Archipelago. What do you think?"
Kizaru couldn't wait to destroy Akira, but in the end, he could only say, "Alright, I'll let you leave."
Afterwards, he said to the Navy Rear Admiral Nordmann next to him, "Tell your people to all disperse."
Nordmann immediately took the order. At the same time, he also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. As long as Akira left the Sabaody Archipelago, his responsibility would be reduced by a large part.
Although it had the meaning of shirking responsibility, he didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
Under Nordmann's order, the Navy soldiers who had surrounded the street immediately revealed a gap.
