Aokiji suddenly laughed as well. He said, You're indeed very confident. However, you obviously haven't realized your situation yet.
Regardless of whether we kill you or not, you can't roam freely on the great sea anymore. The you now has lost at least one very important thing, and that is, freedom.
Aokiji's words made Akira, who had been calm, instantly turn gloomy. Aokiji was right.
Regardless of how confident he was acting now, he had indeed lost his freedom. This was something that he couldn't refute.
Akira said in a cold voice, "I've only temporarily lost my freedom. Don't think that your Navy has really won just because you've caught me. No one can predict what will happen in the future, hmph."
After saying this, Akira walked past Aokiji, and walked out of the room. Aokiji shook his head, and followed.
...
He didn't know what the Navy was planning. The route for escorting Akira was very secretive.
Besides a small number of high-level people, no one else knew that the famous 'Shinigami' had been caught.
Led by Aokiji and Vice Admiral Tsuru, Akira was taken into a very large building. Akira only saw a few people on the way.
Because Akira had been thinking all along, he didn't pay attention to his current location.
Akira discovered that he had been taken into a place that was similar to a prison. It was dark and gloomy.
Then, he saw several Navy soldiers walk over, and press him onto a seat in one of the largest cells. Then, he was tied up with Sea Stone chains all over his body.
Akira frowned, and said to Aokiji, "Hey, Aokiji, aren't you guys being a bit too much? This is your Navy Headquarters. Are you still worried that I, a half-crippled person, will escape?"
Aokiji said, "We naturally have to be more cautious when dealing with a major criminal like you."
Akira sighed, and said as if he had accepted his fate, Alright, do whatever makes you happy.
Since you've already brought me here, you should have already figured out how to deal with me, right? Sengoku, have him come to see me. I think he should want to talk to me.
Aokiji said, "Your wish will be fulfilled. Wait. Fleet Admiral Sengoku will come soon. This might be your last chance."
Being tied up with Sea Stone chains all over his body made Akira very uncomfortable. When had he ever suffered this kind of crime?
If he had a choice, he would rather be injured than have this feeling of being bound.
Fortunately, he didn't have to wait for long.
In just a few minutes, the prison door was opened. Several tall Navy soldiers, wearing Navy justice cloaks, walked in.
"Yo, Sengoku, it's been a long time."
After seeing the person clearly, Akira took the initiative to greet him. His gaze was staring at the man in the front of the people who had come in.
It was Navy Headquarters Fleet Admiral, Sengoku the Buddha.
Sengoku was also very emotional in his heart after seeing Akira.
However, he hadn't expected Akira, as a prisoner, to not only not be nervous after seeing him, but to actually take the initiative to greet him. This made him somewhat surprised.
"'Shinigami' Newgate D. Akira Stone, after tossing and turning for so long, you've finally come here."
Akira curled his lips, and said, "Yeah, I have to admit that old ginger is still spicier. I was ultimately schemed against by you guys. My duel with Hawkeye, you guys deliberately designed it, right?"
Sengoku said, "As expected of the most outstanding person among this generation of pirates. You saw through our plan so quickly."
Akira said, "So what if I saw through it? I was still caught by you guys. I just didn't expect that your abilities would actually be so strong. A person like Hawkeye actually became a gun in your hands. This time, I lost fairly."
"Have you accepted your fate?" Sengoku asked.
Akira laughed, and said, "It's not to the point of accepting my fate yet. It's just that I've let your Navy win a round first."
"First?"
Sengoku looked at Akira with surprise, and asked, "What's wrong? Do you think you still have a chance to compete with us?"
Akira said, "Unless you kill me now, there will definitely be this chance in the future."
Seeing that Akira was actually so unscrupulous, the high-level Navy officials in the prison all frowned. In their opinion, the Akira in front of them was really overestimating himself.
He had already become a prisoner, but he actually dared to utter such wild words.
"Why are you wasting your breath with him? Just kill him directly."
Akainu, who was next to Sengoku, shouted loudly. His eyes were full of killing intent. He was the one in the Navy who hated Akira the most.
So he was immediately happy when he heard that Akira had been caught, and had followed over.
Seeing Akainu speak, Akira immediately turned his head to look at him, and even said with a smile, "Oh, isn't this Akainu? You want to kill me? Alright, come on. However, you have to think clearly about what kind of consequences killing me will bring."
Akainu said in a cold voice, "What consequences will there be for killing a pirate like you? I'll kill you right now."
"Sakazuki, stop."
Seeing that Akainu actually had the intention to take action, Sengoku quickly stopped him.
If he wanted to kill Akira, he wouldn't have had Vice Admiral Tsuru and the others go to the trouble of bringing Akira back.
Although his heart was full of killing intent, Akainu wouldn't disobey Sengoku's orders. He could only snort coldly, and stop taking action.
"Then what do you think I will do with you?" Sengoku asked Akira.
Akira laughed, and said, "No matter what you do, you won't kill me."
Sengoku asked curiously, "Why are you so confident?"
Akira said, "The reason why I came back with you so straightforwardly, although it's because I don't have much power to resist, more importantly, I have absolute certainty that you don't dare to kill me."
Sengoku said, "Tell me the reason."
Akira curled his lips. He was very ungrateful for Sengoku's deliberate ignorance.
However, he still said, "There's only one reason, and that's my identity, a member of the Whitebeard Pirates. My old man is Whitebeard."
Akira said it very solemnly. If it was other people, the high-level Navy officials present would definitely laugh at him.
However, after hearing the name Whitebeard, Sengoku and the others' faces were all extremely solemn, because just saying this name had already given them great pressure.
The world's strongest man, Whitebeard, Edward Newgate!
Sengoku said with a gloomy face, "You wouldn't really think that Whitebeard alone can protect your life, right?"
Akira said, "Of course not. You guys are the Navy Headquarters. Even if I look down on you, I can't possibly think that you're so useless that you don't even dare to take action against me while risking a war with our Whitebeard Pirates..."
Akira's words made the Navy soldiers present somewhat stunned. Since he thought it was impossible, why was he still acting so confident?
Before they could ask, Akira continued, Actually, when you were bringing me back to the Navy Headquarters, I knew that my ending wouldn't be good.
So I set up some safety measures first. I agreed with Hawkeye that once a month had passed, and you didn't let him see me, and confirm that I was still alive, he would tell others this news.
Not only my old man Whitebeard, but also the Four Emperors of the New World, Red-Haired Shanks.
Seeing the surprised and suspicious eyes of Sengoku and the others, he continued, Don't doubt whether Red-Haired Shanks will help me.
I can guarantee to you that once something happens to me, Shanks will definitely try his best to avenge me.
Moreover, it's not just him. The remaining members of the Roger Pirates from back then, Uncle Rayleigh and the others, they will definitely come out of retirement to avenge me as well.
At that time, what you will have to face is not only the Whitebeard Pirates, but also the Red-Haired Pirates, as well as the former Roger Pirates.
As Akira narrated, the expressions of Sengoku and the others became more and more ugly.
They naturally knew that although Akira's words couldn't have 100% certainty, there was still a 70-80% possibility, because Akira had helped them snatch Roger's corpse back then.
With the personality of the Roger Pirates, they would definitely not stand idly by if something happened to Akira.
Sengoku's face was even uglier. Actually, after knowing that Akira had been caught, his first reaction was also to kill him, because the threat that Akira brought to the Navy was really too great.
He might be another Roger or Whitebeard in the future. Now that they had this good opportunity, the best choice was to completely eliminate Akira.
