After Blackbeard laughed for a while, he pretended to be disdainful and said, "You're like a stray dog now, biting anyone you catch. I can't be bothered to pay attention to you. Hurry up and leave, or you won't even see Whitebeard's last face."
Saying that, Blackbeard took a step to the side. However, when he took this step, the muscles on his face twitched a few times involuntarily, showing the displeasure in his heart.
Akira only smiled coldly at Blackbeard's sarcasm and walked forward slowly. When he walked next to Blackbeard, he suddenly stopped and said coldly, "Blackbeard, others don't know you, but I know your purpose. I can tell you very clearly that as long as I'm here, you'll never be qualified to take Pops' position."
Blackbeard sneered, "Then we'll wait and see."
Akira sneered and then walked past Blackbeard, heading towards the upper level. Jinbe and the others also closely followed Akira's footsteps. Only Luffy, when he passed Blackbeard, also gave Blackbeard a cold look before leaving.
"Captain."
Seeing that Akira and the others had all left, Laffitte and the others gathered behind Blackbeard. Looking at Blackbeard's ugly face, they asked with some concern, "Are you alright?"
Blackbeard snorted coldly, "What could be wrong with me? I just didn't expect that this guy was still alive."
Laffitte asked, "Captain, are you talking about that Death God?"
Blackbeard said, "Yes, it's him. This guy didn't like me back on the ship, and he was also the one I was most wary of. I originally thought that he had died after ten years of no news. I didn't expect him to actually be locked up in Impel Down by the Navy. Ten years, and there wasn't a single piece of news. And now he's escaped. I wonder if his appearance will affect our plans?"
Laffitte frowned and said, "His Haki is indeed very strong, but is his strength really that powerful? Captain, why do you need to be wary of him? We had a chance to kill him just now."
Blackbeard snorted coldly, "If there really was a chance, of course I would have killed him. But in the situation just now, do you really think there was a chance? Not to mention that Jinbe and the others were right next to us. If we fought, we wouldn't be able to gain much advantage at all. And although he looks battered and bruised, he's different from ordinary people. I don't know how many trump cards he has."
Blackbeard was indeed afraid to fight Akira. First of all, this wasn't a good place to fight. Moreover, once he fought Akira, it would definitely have a big impact on his plan. More importantly, he didn't have absolute certainty of leaving Akira behind. He didn't want to create extra problems and do things he wasn't sure of. That's why he had taken a step back just now.
Blackbeard was a very shrewd person, but he also had weaknesses, which were being suspicious and hypocritical. He didn't dare to fight Akira head-on. He only wanted to complete his goal in the simplest way. As for Akira, as long as he could complete his plan, he could naturally deal with him easily at that time. That's why he didn't fight Akira.
"After we get to Navy Headquarters, I'll take care of him. He won't be arrogant for much longer."
However, Blackbeard and the others soon encountered Magellan, who had caught up. Although the Blackbeard Pirates were also very strong, they were very embarrassed when they encountered Magellan. They were almost instantly knocked down by Magellan's poison. Although this might also be because they deliberately didn't want to get entangled with Magellan, after all, they had already reached a cooperation with Shiryu of the Rain.
After Magellan knocked down the Blackbeard Pirates, he continued to chase in the direction that Akira and the others had escaped, and soon caught up. And Akira and the others were not far from the exit of Impel Down at this time.
However, Magellan was really too strong. Even though Ivankov stayed behind to block him, he still couldn't stop him and was quickly defeated. Then, Magellan caught up with Akira and the others.
Just as they were on the first level, Akira suddenly said to Jinbe, "Jinbe, Magellan has already caught up. If we don't find a way to stop him, none of us will be able to escape."
Jinbe asked, "Then what should we do?"
Akira said to Crocodile, "Crocodile, I remember that you had a candle man in your crew, right?"
Crocodile didn't understand what Akira meant, but he still nodded and said, "Yes, Mr. 3. You come here."
They saw a middle-aged man with glasses and a somewhat lewd appearance being pulled over.
Akira said, "You're Mr. 3? I want you to stay here with me to deal with Magellan."
Mr. 3 exclaimed, "What? Why me?" He had seen Akira's prowess, so he didn't dare to resist and could only refuse while shouting.
Akira said, "Your wax can temporarily resist Magellan's poison, so now is the time for you to come in handy."
Through the original story, Akira knew that candles could resist Magellan's poison, so leaving Mr. 3 behind was the best way to resist Magellan. So, he didn't care about Mr. 3's resistance at all and forcibly left him behind.
Akira said, "My body hasn't recovered yet, so I can't block Magellan alone. Luffy, you and I will stay together. As for Jinbe, you go outside and seize a warship. After all, if we want to leave here, we can't do it without a ship."
Jinbe said nervously, "How can that be? Magellan's poison is very powerful. You can't block him at all."
Akira said, "We don't need to fight Magellan to the death. We just need to block him and give you time to seize a warship. Then, we'll use the warship to leave here."
Crocodile said, "This is the best way. Let's do as he says."
Saying that, he took the lead in heading towards the gate of Impel Down. Most of the prisoners also closely followed behind, leaving only Akira and a small number of people to guard the rear.
Jinbe nodded with a heavy face and said, "I understand. But Akira, Luffy, you must be careful."
Akira smiled and said, "Don't worry. What kind of difficulties haven't I experienced? It's just Magellan."
Magellan was indeed powerful, but Akira had encountered people who were even more powerful than Magellan. If it wasn't because his injuries hadn't recovered and the Death God Blade wasn't by his side, he could defeat Magellan alone and wouldn't need any help at all.
After Jinbe finished speaking, he quickly left. Just then, Magellan had arrived. They saw that his body was full of deep purple poison, and behind his body were three huge dragon-shaped poisons.
"Venom Dragon!"
Magellan shouted loudly, and a venom dragon shot towards Akira and the others. Akira shouted, "Quick, block him!"
Mr. 3 immediately used his ability and shouted, "Candle Wall!"
Suddenly, a defensive wall formed by candles blocked in front. The venom dragon slammed into the candle wall and couldn't corrode it. This made the people who stayed behind let out excited shouts.
Akira took a knife from a prisoner. It was just an ordinary knife, but he could only make do with it now.
"Luffy, wrap your body in candles and come with me to stop Magellan."
He could use a weapon and cover the weapon with Armament Haki. However, Luffy used fists and kicks, so he had to be wrapped in candles in order not to be injured by Magellan's poison.
Luffy shouted loudly, and then had Mr. 3 wrap his hands and feet in candles, standing together with Akira.
Akira hadn't teamed up with Luffy before, so he didn't know how much strength Luffy had. However, he knew Luffy's attack style, so he said, "You attack head-on later to attract his attention. I'll assist in the attack and see if there's a chance to give him a fatal blow."
"Okay."
Luffy, when he fought, usually didn't have any tactics. He was completely the type who just went up and did it, so it was useless to say too much to him. It was better to let him play normally, which would have the best effect.
As for Magellan's poison, Akira was indeed a bit worried, but he knew that Magellan's attack methods weren't too many, because the Venom-Venom Fruit was very strong, but it also had a lot of limitations. Magellan's speed wasn't very fast. This could be seen from the speed at which he was chasing. Moreover, Akira had powerful Armament Haki and didn't need to directly face Magellan's poison, so he was relatively confident in fighting Magellan.
Akira held the long knife and said softly, "Armament!" Suddenly, his palm and the long knife turned black. Magellan's poison was very strong, but it shouldn't be able to corrode Armament Haki.
