As time passed, more than two years flew by in the blink of an eye. In most parts of the New World, the fighting over the Four Emperor positions had gradually calmed down.
This was because others had already ascended to the Four Emperor positions.
The Beasts Pirates' "Beasts" Kaido and the BIG MOM Pirates' Charlotte Linlin!
These two people, relying on the powerful forces under their command, had experienced countless slaughters.
Finally, no one dared to resist them anymore, so they naturally ascended to the Four Emperor positions rightfully.
Three of the Four Emperor positions had already been occupied, leaving only one position left.
However, it was precisely because of this one position that the fighting between the New World became even more intense and chaotic.
Every ambitious and powerful pirate wanted to become that last Four Emperor, so the fighting between the pirates naturally became even more fierce.
After all, there was only one position left.
Moreover, there was another very important reason. The Navy had withdrawn most of its troops from the New World.
Now, the main force of the Navy was in the first half of the Grand Line. Facing such a Navy headquarters, the pirates in the first half of the Grand Line were rushing into the New World one after another.
This led to the New World now becoming a paradise for pirates, with pirates everywhere.
The Whitebeard Pirates were still the same as before. The Moby Dick carried everyone and sailed around the sea.
Now, no one in the New World didn't know the Whitebeard Pirates' flag. Anyone who saw the Whitebeard Pirates' Moby Dick, as long as they weren't idiots, would turn around and leave.
At this time, Akira had grown into a handsome young man. At the age of fifteen, with a head of neat short hair, he stood on the deck of the Moby Dick, full of vigor.
Akira looked at the sea in front of him, but his heart wasn't calm.
He had been in this world for seven or eight years, and had long completely integrated into this world, and into the Whitebeard Pirates.
Staying in the Whitebeard Pirates all these years had made Akira feel a bit bored.
Although the atmosphere in the Whitebeard Pirates was good, to be honest, it wasn't suitable for growth at all, because he never had the chance to take the field every time the Whitebeard Pirates fought.
So after practicing hard until now, he hadn't really fought many times. This was also the biggest reason why he felt bored.
What was the most attractive thing about the pirate world? Adventure, battle, and passion. And the most important reason was his Zanpakutō.
In these years, although the Whitebeard Pirates' power had grown very quickly, he hadn't found the Devil Fruit he wanted, so he hadn't developed a new Zanpakutō form either.
All kinds of reasons added together had made Akira feel anxious.
So he had a thought of wanting to leave the Whitebeard Pirates and venture out on his own, but he hadn't told anyone about this thought yet, because he knew that even if he said it, no one would agree.
"Akira, what are you doing standing there alone? Dad is calling you."
While Akira was spacing out, someone suddenly woke him up from behind. He said "oh" and turned around to walk towards where Whitebeard was.
Whitebeard was resting alone in his room. After seeing Akira walk in, he chuckled and said, "Akira, you've been looking preoccupied lately. Is there something you want to tell me?"
Akira scratched his head. He hadn't expected that Whitebeard's senses would be so sharp. So he said with a dry laugh, "Nothing, Dad. What could I have?"
Whitebeard snorted coldly, and said, Even if you don't say it, I know what you're thinking.
Little guy, you're still far from being able to hide anything from me. Tell me, what's making you frown?
Akira argued, "Dad, it's really nothing. I'm really fine. It's just that I feel a bit bored staying on the ship all the time."
"So you want to go out and take a look around, and play?" Whitebeard asked.
Akira replied, "I'm just thinking about it, just thinking about it. Dad, don't take it seriously."
"Hmph."
Whitebeard snorted coldly, and said, What are you planning, kid? Can you hide it from me? But I happen to have something here.
I was originally planning to go there myself, but now I'm giving this opportunity to you. Are you willing?
"Hmm?"
Akira's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Dad, what are you talking about?"
Whitebeard snorted and said, "Didn't you just say that you didn't want to go out? Why do you want to ask what it is now?"
Akira laughed dryly. Whitebeard didn't make things difficult for him, and continued, A friend of mine sent me a request for help, hoping that I can help him.
I was originally planning to go there myself, but seeing that you've been idle lately, I thought about letting you go. How about it? Are you interested?
"Interested, of course I'm interested." Akira nodded repeatedly, and asked, "Dad, what exactly is it?"
Whitebeard said, It's about Fish-Man Island. The king of Fish-Man Island, Neptune, is my old friend. Recently, Fish-Man Island has always been bullied by pirates and the Navy.
The fish-men on the island are suffering unspeakable hardships, so Neptune asked me to help suppress it.
As soon as Akira heard this, he understood. He asked, "Dad, you mean, bring Fish-Man Island under your command, and use your name to protect Fish-Man Island?"
Whitebeard nodded and said, "That's what Neptune asked me to do. He's my friend, so I have to help him."
Akira said, "Dad, can you be more specific about what kind of help it is? Although your name is very loud, I'm afraid it won't be that easy to intimidate everyone.
At least it will be difficult for those Navy to listen to us. And Fish-Man Island is the only way for pirates to get to the New World. It will probably be really difficult to prevent Fish-Man Island from being attacked by pirates."
Whitebeard snorted and said, "Of course I know it's difficult, that's why I'm giving it to you. I don't need you to do it perfectly, but you must restore a certain amount of peace to Fish-Man Island, and not let those pirates run wild on Fish-Man Island."
Akira pondered and said, "If that's the case, then I know what to do."
Whitebeard said, "I'm leaving this matter to you. If you don't handle it well, then you'll have to stay on the Moby Dick for the next period of time, and you're not allowed to go anywhere, understand?"
Letting Akira go to Fish-Man Island was to train his ability, and also to let him relax.
But if Akira wasn't really enough to intimidate Fish-Man Island, then Whitebeard would increase his guidance to Akira.
After all, as Akira, who was regarded as his successor, not only had to have strength, but also had to have the means to win people's hearts, which was the key.
Whitebeard said, "I'll let Jozu and Thatch go with you."
"Alright." Akira knew that Whitebeard was worried about him, and that Neptune of Fish-Man Island was Whitebeard's friend. If he didn't handle it well, then he could only let Jozu and Thatch help.
"I've already told Jozu and Thatch. They should already be prepared. After you go out later, go find them directly." Whitebeard said to Akira.
Hearing this, Akira immediately showed an excited look. He said happily to Whitebeard, "Dad, you're really too good."
He didn't understand Whitebeard's intentions now. He was probably planning to let him go from the beginning.
Whitebeard waved his hand and said, "Alright, stop flattering me. This is the first time you're doing something on behalf of our pirate group. I hope you don't disappoint me."
Akira guaranteed, "Don't worry, Dad. I will definitely do it beautifully."
"I only hope that you don't cause a big disaster." Whitebeard shook his head and sighed. He knew Akira's ability to cause trouble. He still remembered the Loguetown incident last time.
Akira smiled and didn't say anything. Then, he said goodbye to Whitebeard. When he walked onto the deck, he happened to see Jozu and Thatch looking at him with smiles on their faces.
Thatch smiled and said, "Akira, Dad told us to follow you this time. You're the main force."
Akira said, "No problem. Is the ship ready?"
Jozu said, "It's already ready. Akira, are we leaving now?"
Akira smiled and said, "Of course. It's not easy to go out alone. Let's hurry up and seize the time."
Jozu and Thatch both knew that Akira was anxious, so they both smiled, and then pointed to a pirate ship next to the Moby Dick, and said, "The ship is already prepared, and we've also selected dozens of elites. It should be enough."
Akira looked at the pirate ship, and then boarded the ship with Jozu and the others. While walking, he said, "You've also selected dozens of elites. It seems that Dad is still a bit worried about us."
