"Go save people."
Besides Dalmatian, there were also seven or eight Navy officers who hadn't been frozen.
Dalmatian immediately had them rescue their companions who had been frozen on the sea surface.
However, after a few minutes, they all gathered together with gloomy faces. Someone said, Vice Admiral, this ice surface is really too powerful.
We used a great deal of effort to rescue very few people. Most of the people have no hope of being saved because they've been frozen.
"Bastard." Dalmatian roared angrily. He had never felt so stifled before. He hadn't even touched the hem of the opponent's clothes, and had almost been wiped out by the other party.
"Dalmatian."
Just as Dalmatian was so angry that he couldn't control himself, Onigumo and Fire Fist rushed over at an extremely fast speed.
Looking at this scene of devastation, Onigumo asked in a deep voice, "Dalmatian, what exactly is going on? Why does the other party have the ability to freeze the sea surface?"
They hadn't seen the situation just now up close. So they didn't know what ability the other party had used.
Dalmatian took a deep breath, and said, "The swordsmaster hidden in the Amazon Lily Pirates is the 'Shinigami,' Newgate D. Akira Stone. He's too strong. I tried my best, but didn't stop them. Instead, my warship was split open by him, causing great casualties."
"What? Newgate D. Akira Stone? Is that the brat whom even Admiral Akainu and the others can't catch?"
Onigumo and Fire Fist's faces were horrified. Akira's name was definitely ranked high in the Navy. Looking at his record, he had fought all three Navy Admirals.
Moreover, they couldn't do anything about him. He had also destroyed multiple Navy branches single-handedly.
Putting aside other things, just look at his current bounty, 900 million Berries. Looking at the entire pirate world, how many people's bounties could reach 900 million Berries?
Besides the Four Emperors, and a few old monsters who had already retired, who had a higher bounty than him?
Dalmatian said in a deep voice, "It's him. I definitely wouldn't guess wrong. This kind of freezing ability, and the slash that he swung out, completely match the abilities that Admiral Aokiji and the others have said. It's definitely him. There's no mistake."
Onigumo and Fire Fist exchanged a glance. They both saw a strong look of fear in each other's eyes. They certainly wouldn't suspect that Dalmatian was lying.
After all, with Dalmatian's strength, and it wasn't a sneak attack, the warship had been split open with one move in a head-on battle. How many people in the entire world could do that?
...
Fire Fist said, "That person is a member of the Whitebeard Pirates. How did he get together with this group of women from the Amazon Lily Pirates?
No wonder we couldn't catch them before. It turns out that it's because of him. This person has fought our Navy many times. He can be said to be very familiar with our system.
More importantly, his strength is very strong. Although I don't want to admit it, it's probably difficult for us three to be a match for him."
The three of them were Navy Vice Admirals. Although they recognized that their strength wasn't weak, they also knew very well that they were far inferior compared to the Navy Admirals.
Even if the three of them added together, they definitely wouldn't be a match for a Navy Admiral. Even the Navy Admirals couldn't catch Akira.
The three of them really didn't have much confidence. The two brief encounters before had already been enough to fully see that.
Dalmatian suddenly said, What I'm more curious about is that the other party clearly had the advantage. If they turned around and fought us, we might have been defeated.
However, why didn't he choose to turn around and fight us? According to that 'Shinigami's' personality, he's not the kind of person who would be a coward, right?
After he said this, Onigumo and Fire Fist also felt that there was a problem. After all, the other party had done many earth-shattering things.
There was no reason for them to be scared away by just a few of them, right?
Onigumo said, "This matter has already exceeded our expectations. We must ask Fleet Admiral Sengoku for instructions."
Although Onigumo and the three of them were all Navy Vice Admirals, and their status in the Navy wasn't low, Akira was the pirate whom Sengoku feared the most besides the Four Emperors.
So this matter had to be told to Sengoku. Moreover, the sea surface had been frozen now. Even if they wanted to chase, there was no way for them to do so.
Onigumo took out a Den Den Mushi. As Navy Vice Admirals, they always had a Den Den Mushi that could contact the Navy Headquarters with them.
Moreover, they were still in the Grand Line now. So they didn't have to worry about communication problems.
The phone that Onigumo dialed was the phone in Fleet Admiral Sengoku's office. As Navy Admirals, they also had the right to directly contact the Navy Fleet Admiral.
However, they generally wouldn't use it unless there was an emergency.
"I'm Sengoku."
The phone was quickly connected, and Sengoku's voice came over.
Onigumo immediately responded respectfully, "Fleet Admiral Sengoku, this is Onigumo."
Sengoku, who was far away at the Navy Headquarters, thought that Onigumo and the others had completed their mission after hearing Onigumo call him.
So he asked without a care, "Oh, it's Vice Admiral Onigumo. Have you taken care of the matter of the Amazon Lily Pirates?"
Hearing these words, the faces of Onigumo and the three of them were filled with shame. They answered awkwardly, "I'm sorry, Fleet Admiral Sengoku. The mission failed. The Amazon Lily Pirates escaped."
Sengoku frowned when he heard this, and asked in surprise, "How could this be? Haven't I already given you great privileges? Why did you still let the people of the Amazon Lily Pirates escape?"
Sengoku knew the abilities of Onigumo and the three of them. The three Vice Admirals joining forces, but they hadn't caught the people of the Amazon Lily Pirates for so long.
This wasn't a normal thing in the first place. Moreover, it was even more abnormal that they had called him without completing the mission.
Onigumo knew that this wasn't the time to push responsibility. He could only say truthfully, It was our miscalculation. We didn't completely figure out the enemy's details.
Fleet Admiral Sengoku, that 'Shinigami' is in the Amazon Lily Pirates. The reason why the Amazon Lily Pirates were able to escape our pursuit was also because of this person's several actions.
The other party's power is too strong. Our ships have been frozen now. There's no way for us to chase.
Sengoku's face changed drastically. He asked in surprise, "What did you say? Is the 'Shinigami' that brat from the Whitebeard Pirates?"
"It's him. Although I didn't see him with my own eyes, I have a 70% certainty that it's him." The one who answered was Dalmatian, because he was the only one who had seen Akira up close.
Sengoku roared angrily, "Damn it, how is that damned brat related to the Amazon Lily Pirates? Aren't the Amazon Lily Pirates the people of Amazon Lily? Aren't they very opposed to men? What exactly is going on?"
Listening to Sengoku's angry scolding, Onigumo and the three of them didn't dare to say anything. They could only pretend that they hadn't heard.
After a long time, Sengoku calmed down. Then, he asked, "What is your current location? Also, where did the Amazon Lily Pirates and that brat escape to?"
Onigumo answered, "We're at..."
Sengoku said, "Alright, I see. You guys go back to the Navy Headquarters after the sea surface thaws. I'll have someone else handle the Amazon Lily Pirates. Don't chase anymore."
"But."
Onigumo and the others were unwilling, and still wanted to say something. However, Sengoku directly ordered, "There's no but. Obey the order, obey the order immediately."
Sengoku had been very clear about how great Akira's threat was from the beginning.
He knew that if he continued to let Onigumo and the three of them chase, it wasn't impossible for them to be completely wiped out.
These few people were all elites of the Navy. Sengoku couldn't bear to let them die at Akira's hands. So he could only withdraw them.
"Yes."
Sengoku had already been so forceful. Even if Onigumo and the three of them were unwilling in their hearts, they didn't dare to disobey the order.
After Sengoku hung up the phone, he sighed with his whole person feeling very tired. At this time, the door of the office was pushed open. A female officer came in.
Her face was old. It was Navy Vice Admiral Tsuru.
Vice Admiral Tsuru saw Sengoku sighing with a tired face, and asked with surprise, "What's wrong, Sengoku?"
Sengoku saw that it was Vice Admiral Tsuru, and said with a face full of depression, Ah, the troublesome things have really been increasing recently.
The Grand Line, which had finally been peaceful for not long, I'm afraid that there will be more waves again...
Vice Admiral Tsuru looked at Sengoku with confusion. The Grand Line was basically stable now. Why was Sengoku saying this again?
So she asked curiously, "What happened again?"
When this matter was mentioned, Sengoku became angry again, and said, "It's still because of that 'Shinigami' brat. Why did he get the Shinigami nickname? Why doesn't he just go die?"
