Jozu walked over, looking in the direction that Akira was pointing, and said, "If it's that direction, it seems to be where a Navy branch is located, called Punk Hazard Island."
"Punk Hazard?"
As soon as Akira heard this name, his whole body shook, asking Jozu, "Are you sure?"
"It shouldn't be wrong. Most of the territories in the New World are pirate territories. So, the number of islands that the Navy possesses isn't many. This Punk Hazard is one of them. I won't remember it wrong," Jozu answered.
After getting confirmation, Akira revealed a meaningful smile, and said, "I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence. Jozu, if I'm not mistaken, Sengoku should have already stepped down from the position of Navy Fleet Admiral. The new Navy Fleet Admiral hasn't taken office yet, right?"
Jozu asked in surprise, "How do you know? The new Navy Fleet Admiral indeed hasn't been chosen yet. It's said that it's because of the infighting within the Navy. Many people are recommending Akainu, but Sengoku is recommending Aokiji. So, the two of them are now fighting fiercely for the position of Navy Fleet Admiral. The Navy's situation isn't much better than ours."
The people of the Whitebeard Pirates naturally hated the Navy to the bone. After all, if it hadn't been for Navy Headquarters, they wouldn't have fallen to this point. So, they naturally enjoyed seeing the chaos within the Navy.
Akira said, "We might have an unexpected harvest this time. Let's go, to Punk Hazard Island."
"What? To Punk Hazard? Akira, that's the Navy's territory. It probably wouldn't be too good if we went there," Jozu said with some hesitation. After all, their manpower now was just the people on one ship. It was really somewhat risky to go there rashly.
Akira said, "Don't worry. The Punk Hazard of now is different from before. There's a world-shaking battle going on there. We might be able to clean up the mess when we go there."
"What do you mean?" Jozu asked very puzzled.
Akira said, "Turn the ship around first, and head there. I'll slowly tell you."
Seeing that Akira was insistent, Jozu could only have people turn the ship around, heading towards Punk Hazard.
"What? You said that Navy Admirals Akainu and Aokiji are having a duel on Punk Hazard?"
Curiel shouted in disbelief. Because they had temporarily changed directions, he had also come over to ask what was going on, but he had learned this from Akira's mouth, being very shocked.
The closer they got to Punk Hazard, the clearer Akira sensed those two extremely hot and extremely cold auras. There was definitely no mistake. In this world, only Akainu and Aokiji could do this kind of thing.
Akira said, "That's right. It must be Akainu and Aokiji. I think this must be the duel they're having in order to compete for the position of Navy Fleet Admiral. Haven't you noticed that we haven't seen anyone around all the way here? It's because they already know that Akainu and Aokiji are dueling here. So, they're avoiding it from afar."
Curiel asked, "Even if Akainu and Aokiji are exchanging blows, what does it have to do with us?"
Akira said, "I still haven't forgotten the Summit War. It's rare to encounter this. If we don't greet them, wouldn't that be too unfair to such a good opportunity?"
Jozu reacted, and asked, "Akira, you want to take action against Akainu and Aokiji?"
"You could say that." Akira nodded.
Jozu said with some worry, "This is somewhat not good, right? Akainu and Aokiji's battle is to decide the position of Navy Fleet Admiral. It's being taken very seriously by the World Government. How could there be no one guarding them by their side?"
Akira said, "Who knows? No matter what, since we've encountered them, then we have to try. Later, don't get the ship close. Curiel, you stay behind. Jozu and I will sneak into Punk Hazard to see if there's an opportunity..."
Akainu and Aokiji were both powerhouses standing at the top of the pirate world. Since debuting, they hadn't been defeated by anyone besides Whitebeard.
Now that these two people were fighting for the position of Navy Fleet Admiral, they would definitely use all their strength.
The opportunity was indeed an opportunity, but the risk was definitely also very great. After all, once they discovered an enemy, Akainu and Aokiji would immediately abandon their previous grudges.
With the two of them joining hands, even a Yonko-level powerhouse probably wouldn't be able to win so easily.
When they were still a distance away from Punk Hazard, Akira and Jozu had already disembarked from the Moby Dick, and were quietly heading towards the direction of Punk Hazard.
When they got close to Punk Hazard, Akira felt two completely different auras, one was extremely hot, and the other was extremely cold. He and Jozu exchanged a look, and then said, "There's no mistake. It's Akainu and Aokiji. However, it seems that there aren't any other Navy soldiers around. It should only be the two of them."
This island had originally been a base used by the Navy for research. However, because of the experiments of the scientist Caesar a few years ago, a large amount of poisonous gas had been released on the island, making the entire island a dead island. So, Akainu and Aokiji had chosen this place to hold their duel, because it wouldn't affect others.
When Akira landed on the island, he had already seen that this island showed two climate changes. It seemed that Akainu and Aokiji's battle had been going on for a while.
"Jozu, you stay here and wait for me. I'll go in and take a look."
Akira instructed Jozu. Akainu and Aokiji's abilities were very strong. He was worried that Jozu would be discovered. So, he wanted to enter alone to investigate.
Jozu said worriedly, "How can that be? It's too dangerous."
Akira smiled, and said, "Don't underestimate me. Even if Akainu and Aokiji join hands, it wouldn't be so easy to defeat me. Now that the two of them have been fighting for so long, how much stamina can they still have left? So, you don't need to worry about me at all. The ones who should really be worried are them instead."
While Akira was sneaking into Punk Hazard, Akainu and Aokiji were engaging in a fierce fight. The two of them, who were in the center of the island, had volcanoes and ice mountains forming behind them, being very terrifying and horrifying.
At this time, in the center of the island, they saw two figures crossing each other at an extremely fast speed, one white and one red. It was Akainu and Aokiji.
The two of them had been fighting for nine days and nine nights, being so familiar with each other that they couldn't be more familiar. Having reached this point, they had completely abandoned everything, starting a life-and-death struggle.
Actually, the two of them had only been fighting for the position of Navy Fleet Admiral in the beginning. But as they fought, they had developed a great disapproval of each other's ideals. So, their anger had flared up, and they no longer held back, completely treating the other as an enemy.
"Meteor Volcano!"
"Ice Age!"
Akira was also lucky. Akainu and Aokiji had already started their final showdown at this time. They saw magma filling the sky, and endless pieces of ice, dividing the sky into two halves, one white, and one red, as if two skies had collided together.
At the moment when the two's attacks collided, the entire island was shaking, as if the sky was falling and the earth was splitting. Even Akira, who was hiding in the dark, was shocked by it.
Judging from the degree of the two's exchange, they knew that they hadn't used all their strength during the Summit War. The reason wasn't that they didn't want to, but that they couldn't, because the two's attacks were really too terrifying, and the range was very large.
If they attacked with all their strength, they would directly injure their own people within a large area. So, they hadn't used all their strength at that time.
But at this moment, the two of them didn't need to worry about others. They were fighting with their hands and feet free. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that this scene was earth-shattering. Even Akira was dumbfounded.
The two's battle had affected the sea, the island, and the sky. This degree of destructive power was already comparable to Whitebeard fully using the Gura Gura no Mi ability.
It had to be said that the fighting power of these two Navy admirals had reached the peak. They had also developed their respective abilities to the extreme. The violent roar lasted for several minutes before slowly calming down.
The two's battle had finally ended. The entire island had been completely divided into two parts under the two's battle, one side being ice mountains, and the other being a sea of fire, becoming an ice and fire island-like island.
After everything had calmed down, Akainu and Aokiji's appearances were finally revealed. However, the two of their appearances weren't very good. They saw that although Akainu was standing there, he was covered in blood from head to toe. His clothes, which never changed, were also tattered. Especially his front, which had several extremely deep wounds.
Akainu's injuries were already very terrifying, but Aokiji was even more miserable, because besides being covered in blood, and having wounds all over his body, what was most shocking was that his right half of his body had been severely burned overall.
And the part below his left knee was even a bloody mess, completely disappearing. It could be seen that Aokiji's injuries were much more serious than Akainu's.
"Kuzan, you've lost."
Akainu stared at Aokiji with icy eyes, and said in a cold voice.
Aokiji looked at Akainu with unwillingness, but he had lost, so he said in a deep voice, "I've lost, Sakazuki. The position of Navy Fleet Admiral is yours now. However, I hope that after you become Navy Fleet Admiral, you won't use your set of rules anymore. Your set of rules is too extreme, and isn't suitable for the Navy's development."
Akainu snorted coldly, "The winner is king, and the loser is a bandit, Kuzan. It's not your turn to teach me how to do things. The Navy has been too comfortable these years, so they've been wantonly messed with by pirates. After I take office, I must change this situation. All pirates deserve to die. I will never tolerate them."
