Blackbeard naturally felt Akira's Haki, because Akira's Haki was mainly targeted at him alone. Being covered by Akira's Haki, even he had his expression change drastically at this time, revealing a look of fear. He had lived for so many years, and had never encountered such powerful Haki. Even Whitebeard and Shanks's Haki hadn't made him feel this kind of pressure.
After the fear, Blackbeard suddenly laughed loudly, "Zehahaha, as expected of Akira. Your Haki is really getting stronger and stronger. It seems that Pops's death has stimulated you, actually making your Haki break through. But this is even more interesting, zehahaha. Akira, I won't let you live."
From the first day he joined the Whitebeard Pirates, Blackbeard had been deeply impressed by Akira. But at this moment, his wariness towards Akira had reached its peak. The terrifying strength that Akira had shown, and the amazing potential, even with him obtaining the Gura Gura no Mi ability now, he still didn't have 100% certainty that he could suppress Akira. So, he wanted to end Akira here. This was his best opportunity.
"Then you can try!"
Even though he had suffered serious injuries, Akira didn't show any fear of Blackbeard at all, saying antagonistically.
"Neither of you will be able to leave Marineford!"
Suddenly, a roar exploded, and then they saw a huge Buddha descending from the sky, slamming a palm down towards the direction where the Blackbeard Pirates were.
"Not good, it's Sengoku!"
The faces of the people of the Blackbeard Pirates changed at the same time, quickly dodging. Only Blackbeard, because he had been seriously injured by Akira, didn't have time to react, being completely covered by Sengoku's attack. The powerful shockwave landed on the location where Blackbeard was standing, causing a huge explosion.
"Boom!"
The ground where Blackbeard and them were was completely collapsed, being very shocking.
Akira, seeing this scene, immediately said to Marco, "Let's go!"
He knew very well that staying here now was just wasting time. He didn't have a chance to kill Blackbeard at all. Instead, he would be stopped by the Navy. So, what was most important now was to leave Marineford.
Where there's life, there's hope!
Akira and them quickly retreated. And the Blackbeard Pirates were fighting the Navy led by Sengoku.
"Chase, we must not let the Death God escape!"
Kizaru waved his hand, and immediately countless Navy soldiers chased after the location where Akira and them were escaping. Fortunately, Akira had used Haoshoku Haki to stun many Navy soldiers before. Otherwise, there would be even more people chasing them.
"Don't get entangled in battle. Everyone, retreat quickly. We have already controlled the bay head. As long as we get on the ship, everyone will be safe."
Marco, carrying Akira, was escaping, while shouting loudly to encourage the others.
The pirates were all gathering all their strength, shouting loudly, "Everyone, rush to the bay head. Our comrades are already waiting for us there. Everyone, rush over in one breath."
However, everyone hadn't discovered that Aokiji had quickly headed towards the bay head. Seeing that the bay head had been controlled by the pirates, he had to take back control of the bay head if he wanted to prevent the pirates from leaving. His ability was perfect for doing this.
"Marco, go to join up with Thatch and them first. They're about to be unable to stop Akainu."
Akira glanced around, and saw that Thatch and the others were fighting Akainu. However, they were about to be unable to stop Akainu, because Akainu's strength was really too strong.
Marco responded, and then quickly headed towards where Thatch and them were. And in the process, he also encountered Vista and Rambo. The two of them had originally been fighting Hawkeye and Doflamingo. Now that the battle situation was chaotic, neither Doflamingo nor Hawkeye had any intention of continuing to fight. So, the two of them had freed up their hands, and were also heading towards the bay head.
"Marco, Akira, how are your injuries?"
"Big Brother Akira."
Vista and Rambo hadn't been injured, because their opponents hadn't had any intention of fighting desperately. However, they were very worried seeing that both Akira and Marco were injured, especially since Akira couldn't even move easily.
"I won't die."
Akira said to Vista and Rambo. Although his appearance looked very bad now, he wasn't in danger of his life, because his injuries had been treated by Minazuki. The biggest problem was that his stamina had been exhausted. This only needed to be recuperated over time.
"Now isn't the time to say this. We need to leave here as soon as possible. Thatch and them have been stopped by Akainu. We need to go help them, and then take everyone away." Marco said.
"Let's go."
Vista didn't hesitate either, quickly heading towards where Thatch and Ace were. Thatch and them had originally been having a very difficult time dealing with Akainu. But with the addition of Vista and Rambo, two fresh troops, they immediately got a buffer.
"The others, immediately retreat to the bay head!" Marco shouted.
Akira then shouted at Ace, "Ace, you retreat first. Aokiji has already headed towards the bay head. He will definitely use his ability to freeze the sea. Your ability can just come in handy. Go quickly!"
Akira directly used a commanding tone. He was unable to take action now, and among the Whitebeard Pirates, the only one who could fight Aokiji's freezing ability was Ace, who had the Mera Mera no Mi. So, Ace now had a crucial role in the Whitebeard Pirates' departure.
Ace was still somewhat hesitant, but when he heard what Akira said, he immediately nodded in response, "Okay, I understand. I'll go first, and wait for you there."
Although Ace had been injured by Akainu, it wasn't too serious of an injury. There was no burden on him using his ability.
After instructing Ace, Akira continued to say to the others, "Leave a few people to cover everyone. The rest, retreat immediately."
No one cared about Akira's commanding tone. Marco and the others felt that it was natural. After all, Whitebeard had said before his death that he was leaving the Whitebeard Pirates to Akira. They were familiar with Akira, and would follow Whitebeard's orders. So, in their eyes, Akira was the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates now, and it was natural for him to give orders.
And the other pirates, although they didn't trust Akira like Marco and them, at this juncture, living was the first priority. Akira's orders would give them a better chance of living, so they obeyed.
"None of you will be able to run!"
Akainu's eyes were blazing, staring intently at Akira on Marco's back. Ace and Luffy had already run. But now, Akira had become a target that he had to kill in his eyes.
"Everyone else can not die, but you must not live! Great Eruption!"
For Akira, Akainu went all out as soon as he took action. The magma giant fist roared towards Akira. But Akira and Marco both didn't change their expressions. They saw several figures quickly appearing in front of them.
"Don't even think about harming our new captain."
Jozu, Thatch, Vista, and the other division commanders of the Whitebeard Pirates all blocked in front of Akira, blocking Akainu's attack. Now, Akira was the hope of the Whitebeard Pirates' revival in their eyes, and was also their most important brother. How could they let Akainu harm Akira?
"Fight while retreating towards the bay head."
Akira was unable to fight at this time, so he became the commander, commanding the people of the Whitebeard Pirates to fight. With their full-strength blocking, even if Akainu's strength was strong, it was difficult to break through to his current location. So, although Akainu was roaring angrily, there was really no way.
Akira raised his head, looking at Whitebeard's corpse in the plaza, clenching his hands. He definitely wanted to take Whitebeard's corpse away. But he also knew that with his current state, and the defeated Whitebeard Pirates, it was completely impossible to take Whitebeard's corpse away, even if they sacrificed everyone's lives.
