The Dawn Pirates, Heart Pirates, and Hawkins Pirates escaped the navy's pursuit. The warships that lost their pursuit targets had no choice but to dock.
A wooden plank was put down on the side of the ship to serve as a gangway, and the sailors filed down from the warship.
"General Sakaski." The adjutant came to Akainu and raised his hand in salute with a look of shame on his face: "We... still let the Dawn Pirates escape..."
Akainu didn't speak. The scorching hot temperature around him already highlighted Akainu's mood at the moment.
The adjutant glanced at Akainu. His resolute and angular face was extremely serious. His dark red suit was stretched tight by his broad and thick frame. His left shoulder looked even deeper due to blood staining. He cautiously asked, "General Sakaski." , are you... okay?"
"Go back." Akainu said in a low voice. Without even looking at the wound, he turned and walked towards the warship.
CP0, who was wearing a white suit, stood in front of Akainu and said, "It's a pity that one or two members of the Dawn Pirates were not killed."
"It's not your turn to talk about this, right?!" Akainu said with hidden anger: "If you can take action in advance, I can defeat all four of them before Scathach arrives!"
"I have only one mission, and that is to capture Nico Robin alive." CP0 replied in a calm tone: "As for the Dawn Pirates, that is your navy's business and has nothing to do with us."
"..." Akainu clenched his fists, blood gurgling out from the wounds, and thick smoke billowing from the magma-formed fists.
The sinister atmosphere between the two immediately made the surrounding sailors afraid to express their anger.
Akainu stared at CP0 for a moment, then finally bypassed the agent and boarded the warship.
On the warship.
Akainu looked back at the place where they had just fought, speechless for a long time.
Akainu was very unwilling to fail to defeat the Dawn Pirates here. These few were not the main cadres of the Dawn Pirates, but just three of them, Yamato, Inogaki Kisame, and Deidara, had been in a stalemate with him for a while. Not a short time.
Akainu's eyes became sharp and determined again, like cold and sharp blades: "Return!"
The furled sails fell, and the sea breeze blew up the white sails, driving the stationary warship forward. The warship gradually sailed away from this island with many beasts, slowly disappeared on the horizon where the sky and the sea meet, and headed towards the target.
…
When Akainu arrived at the port of the Lubnir Kingdom, the sun was already in the west, spreading orange-red light across the land.
"That's... Admiral Sakaski's warship?"
"We're finally back...but why are the warship's sides damaged? Did General Sakaski encounter some powerful enemy?"
Someone immediately retorted: "How is that possible!?"
On the way back, the ship's doctor had already performed a simple examination on Akainu and bandaged his wounds. Due to Akainu's monster physique, the wound penetrated by the spear could only be considered a minor injury, and others would not be able to tell from the appearance.
There is no inconvenience in Akainu's movements, but his aura is slightly messy. Only those who have mastered the Haki of Seeing and Hearing to the extreme can get a glimpse of it.
With a smile, he noticed something strange about Akainu and was quite surprised that there was someone in Beihai who could hurt the admiral.
He didn't intend to be troublesome even if he smiled, and was prepared to hide this matter in his heart. He would have to get along with this general for a long time in the future.
Unexpectedly, Akainu came over specifically and asked, "Are you the one who completed the selection competition with a perfect victory record?"
Yixiao showed a gentle smile and replied in a neither humble nor condescending manner: "Yes."
Akainu suggested: "I want to test your true strength, is that okay?"
"..." After thinking for two or three seconds, he smiled and nodded in agreement: "I hope you will be merciful."
Seeing that Yixiao was willing to compete with him, Akainu immediately ordered the competition venue to be cleared.
"Have you heard? General Sakaski is going to compete with the strongest selected Yixiao!"
"Why?"
"I heard it's because General Sakaski didn't watch Yixiao's selection competition with his own eyes and wanted to personally test the true strength of Yixiao's players."
"The result is too obvious! How could Yixiao win General Sakaski?!"
"Oops, so this is just a normal fight."
"However, I also want to know the true strength of Yixiao player. He won too easily in these selection competitions!"
The sun gradually sets in the west, and a few bright stars light up in the sky.
The red lava flowing down from Akainu standing opposite him made the area red.
Akainu understood something from today's isolation and helplessness. Even though his strength was the highest in the navy, he still could not easily defeat the three opponents who were not as strong as him today. This was because he lacked powerful helpers!
Ghost Spider was once a vice admiral who believed in complete justice, but he died at the hands of the Dawn Pirates, leaving Akainu with a broken arm.
The smile in front of him clearly does not belong to any faction within the navy. As long as he can be drawn into the hawk faction before he enters the dove faction...
Akainu said in a deep voice: "You go first!"
"Then I will show my shame..." Yixiao pulled out the staff knife with his backhand, shrank it behind his back, and with his mind turning, a lavender gravity light group suddenly accumulated on the sharp blade.
"Gravity Knife·Tiger!"
Yixiao held the staff knife in his backhand and swept it out. The blade cut through the air, and a horizontal heavy blow flew out.
"ha!"
Akainu swung a heavy punch, and the lava fist grew larger and larger as it moved forward rapidly, completely blocking the direction of the horizontal gravity field.
The lavender ripples formed by the fusion of horizontal gravity and sword energy directly bombarded the huge lava fist.
"boom"
The two forces collided violently, and the giant lava fist stiffened for a moment, and then exploded in the next second.
Countless lava fragments fell to the ground, and the extremely high temperature remaining on the fragments burned the ground into scorched black marks.
Akainu felt the huge power coming from his arm, and felt a little surprised in his heart. Yixiao's strength was by no means simple!
Akainu raised his right arm and said, "I'm going to take action too."
"Please." Yixiao said, "Don't worry about me."
Akainu felt confident from Yishou's words, so he stopped talking and quickly rushed in front of Yishou, swinging out his magma-formed right arm.
Facing Akainu's fatal jab, Yixia spread his legs, lowered his posture, and held the staff and sword upright in front of him.
"laugh--"
The hot lava bombarded the staff and knife, and the sticky magma spattered in all directions.
"Gravity Knife·Suppression!"
When Yixiao blocked Akainu's attack, the gravity field attached to the blade suddenly took effect, and the sudden increase of gravity by dozens of times made Akainu's body sink.
But Akainu, known as the monster, seemed not to be affected in any way by the sudden increase in the gravity field.
Then Akainu ignored the wound on his left shoulder and suddenly raised his left arm. The magma-formed left fist outlined the vicious dog's head, opened his mouth full of sharp teeth, and suddenly bit into a smile.
With a smile, he held the staff sword backwards, blocked Akainu's right fist, and suddenly raised it from bottom to top.
A vertical slash cut the lava dog's head in half.
In just a few seconds of fighting, Yixiao's powerful strength surprised the surrounding navy.
"Tina was surprised." Tina opened her eyes wide and said, "Although I am very optimistic about Yixiaojun's strength, I didn't expect that he can actually compete with the general."
"Huh..." Smoker exhaled a breath with a strong cigar flavor and remained silent.
During the battle, Akainu was not dissatisfied, but instead became more excited. The navy had added another powerful fighter.
"That's enough..." Yixiao said, "Keep fighting..."
"Your strength hasn't been unleashed yet!" Akainu blocked Yixiao's words.
Yixiao did not intend to fight Akainu to the death. While retreating to the rear, he raised his sword and slashed a spiral purple ripple into the sky.
A moment later, a small meteorite wrapped in flames fell from the sky to the ground.
The dim sky was burned red by the raging flames.
"Meteorite!?"
"Did this guy do it?!"
The surrounding sailors stared at all this with wide eyes.
"Click"
The two cigars on Smoker's mouth fell to the ground out of surprise.
"sharp!"
Akainu looked up at the sky, clenched his right fist with the power collected, and then punched hard in the direction of the meteorite.
The giant fist of magma wrapped in high-temperature flames flew into the sky and collided with the meteorite falling to the ground.
"Boom"
The small meteorite and the giant fist of lava broke apart at the same time, and countless broken stones wrapped in flames fell to the ground, like a meteor shower.
"Very good." Akainu nodded slowly, released his clenched right fist, and said, "Your strength is worthy of a vice admiral, and you are fully capable of competing for a general."
Yixiao lowered his head to express his thanks, and humbly replied: "Thank you for the compliment, I'm still far from good."
Akainu's anger at the Dawn Pirates' escape disappeared at this moment.
Hearing Akainu's words, the surrounding marines were in an uproar.
…
When everyone gathered, Scathach asked aloud: "So, do you plan to go to the New World with us, or continue to stay in the North Sea?"
Hawkins and Luo looked at each other, and both of them had made a decision in their hearts.
"I plan to stay in Beihai to practice." Luo explained: "The new world is too early for me now. I want to stay in Beihai to increase my strength."
"That's the truth." Scathach nodded and turned to look at Hawkins: "Do you have the same idea as him?"
"Yes."
"Okay." Scathach didn't force himself. He threw a notebook for practicing armed color to Hawkins and said, "Even if you have the ability to transfer injuries, you can't rely too much on your own abilities."
Scathach's eyes flashed red and he said, "Otherwise, you will suffer a big loss sooner or later."
Hawkins took the note, nodded and replied, "Yes."
Scathach continued: "Just now, I reported your affairs to Eric, and there will be corresponding rewards later."
"No need." Luo replied first, "This is what I should do."
"Captain Eric is the benefactor who avenges me. I will die for him..."
"There are rewards for merit and punishment for demerits. These are the rules set by Eric."
"That's right!" Yamato, who became lively again, ran to the two of them, put their arms around each other and said, "I didn't expect that you two are also members of the Dawn Pirates!"
"I am Yamato who has just joined the Dawn Pirates. Please give me your advice!"
"Isn't it strange that I don't know you..." Luo tried to pry Yamato's fingers apart, but he was not strong enough and could only reply: "I have seen your deeds in the newspaper before."
"I see!"
"Yamato, Luo and Hawkins are matters of Eric's pirate group, you have to keep it a secret."
"Eh?!" Yamato asked dissatisfied, "Why?"
"This is good for them. Once they are exposed and carry the symbol of the Dawn Pirates, Luo and Hawkins may be targeted by powerful bounty hunters or the Navy Headquarters."
"That's it..." Yamato temporarily agreed with Scathach's words.
Scathach continued: "Hawkins, what kind of reward do you plan to ask for?"
"Devil fruit? Gold jewelry? Or Bailey?"
Hawkins couldn't answer now.
"When you think about it, call Eric directly." Scathach said nonchalantly: "Or, let Eric help you think about it?"
"Please allow me to make a fortune." Hawkins calmly took out the tarot cards from the inside of his clothes.
"What is this?" Yamato, who had stayed on Ghost Island for many years and had little knowledge, watched Hawkins shuffle the cards curiously.
"Tarot cards are used for divination." Hawkins explained briefly, found a place to sit down, and put up several straw tips in front of him to place the drawn Tarot cards.
After Hawkins drew cards and interpreted them, Hawkins made up his mind and said: "I ask Admiral Eric to make a reward decision."
"Okay." Scathach seemed to have predicted this.
"How interesting!" Yamato's eyes began to sparkle and he asked aloud: "Scarecrow, can you teach me this?"
Hawkins turned to look at Yamato, nodded and replied, "Okay."
So, Yamato was taught step by step on the spot: "First of all, you have to choose the time for divination. As long as you are in good spirits, any time is fine."
"Second, choose a location. A quiet location that can help you focus. If you can concentrate, any location will do."
"Third, choose the object of divination, subjectively choose the success rate of the matter, and interpret it from the drawn Tarot cards..."
"The Fool card: Right interpretation, good health. Unexpected gains from travel. Beautiful dreams."
"Reversed interpretation..."
"Magician card..."
Within a few minutes, a lot of occult knowledge made Yamato dizzy. Yamato was too embarrassed to interrupt Hawkins, who was in high spirits, so he could only bite the bullet and continue listening.
Law and Scathach had already walked away, leaving this space to Hawkins and Yamato.
Yamato looked at Scathach with teary eyes, but Scathach didn't look back at Yamato.
On the other side of the boat, Kisame was repairing the damaged Samehada. Samehada howled in pain and hit Kisame's head with the handle of the knife from time to time.
"Sameki, I'm sorry, I will definitely not let you suffer such a serious injury next time. "
"Jiji!"
Deidara crossed his arms, leaned against the side of the ship, and said, "Brother Kisame, your weapons are not very obedient."
"It's better than your detonating clay." Kisame accused unceremoniously: "In the battle just now, what use did your detonating clay have?"
"Uh..." Deidara was speechless.
