Hancock said, "Akira Brother told me to bring you a few words."
Hawkeye asked with confusion, "Then why didn't he say it just now?"
Hancock said, "Because he couldn't let the Navy hear it."
Hawkeye nodded. The reason why Akira had been caught by the Navy was because he had dueled with him.
So he naturally felt somewhat guilty in his heart. If Akira had any requests, he would try his best to agree.
"Say it."
Hancock said, AkiraBrother said that he will be locked up in the deep sea prison Impel Down by the Navy.
However, he's worried that the Navy will secretly kill him. So he wants to ask you to protect him.
Hawkeye frowned, and asked, "How can I protect him?"
Hancock said, "I don't know. AkiraBrother just said to visit him in Impel Down regularly. If the Navy doesn't allow it, you should immediately tell the Whitebeard Pirates this news."
After hearing Hancock's words, Hawkeye immediately understood Akira's meaning. He was an ally of the Navy.
As long as he requested, he would have a chance to enter Impel Down. However, he didn't understand why Akira was so sure that he would be locked up in Impel Down?
Moreover, why was he so sure that the Navy would secretly kill him? Since he had asked him to notify the Whitebeard Pirates, why didn't he notify them immediately?
Instead, he had to wait until something happened to him before notifying them?
All of this made Hawkeye somewhat confused. However, Hawkeye still nodded in response, and said, "I understand."
After saying that, Hawkeye turned around, and left. He had benefited a lot from this battle with Akira.
So he needed to find a quiet place now to recuperate, and digest what he had learned.
After Hawkeye left, Hancock also returned to the Amazon Lily Pirates' pirate ship, and strictly ordered the people of the Amazon Lily Pirates to spread everything that had happened today.
Hancock had originally wanted to tell the people of the Whitebeard Pirates, because she knew that the Whitebeard Pirates would definitely go to rescue Akira once they knew this news.
However, Akira didn't allow it. So she could only agree with tears in her eyes.
After Akira was caught by the Navy, they didn't abuse him. Besides handcuffing him with Sea Stone handcuffs, there weren't any other follow-up actions.
The only thing was that Aokiji had been staying by his side all along, obviously not wanting to give Akira any chance to escape.
After all, he had seen too many of Akira's abilities, and had to be on guard.
"Hey, I say Kuzan, do you have to stare at me like this all the time? Do you think I still have the strength to resist now?"
Seeing that Aokiji's eyes were constantly staring at him, Akira felt very uncomfortable. How did this guy seem to be targeting him?
Aokiji looked at Akira for a long time before opening his mouth, and saying, "We were all deceived by you."
Akira asked with surprise, "Deceived? What did I deceive you about?"
Aokiji said, "Your threat before. But look at you now. It's even very difficult for you to walk. You should have suffered serious injuries during the battle with Hawkeye, right?"
Akira laughed, and said, "I knew that I couldn't hide it from you. That's right. Not to mention you guys now, even an ordinary person could knock me down. I believe that you shouldn't have not seen it before. You just didn't say it, right?"
Akira didn't believe that Aokiji hadn't seen his state before. If it was other people, he might have been able to hide it.
However, Aokiji was a Navy Admiral, and was so close to him. How could he not see it? However, Aokiji didn't say it. Akira naturally wouldn't expose himself.
"I'm very curious. Why didn't you expose me?"
Aokiji said, Why should I expose you? What benefits would there be to exposing you? An Amazon Lily Pirates?
We didn't have any intention of annihilating the Amazon Lily Pirates in the first place. Your conditions also happened to fit our thoughts.
It's better to simply fulfill you. At the very least, you won't really fight to the death.
Akira laughed, and said, "It seems that I was being superfluous. However, oh well, it doesn't matter."
"Aren't you worried?" Aokiji asked.
Akira said, "Worried about what? Worried that your Navy will kill me? Forget it. Not to mention that if you wanted to kill me, you would have already taken action. What's more, you don't dare to kill me either."
A cold light flashed in Aokiji's eyes, and he asked, "What makes you so confident?"
Akira smiled faintly, and said, If I didn't even have this bit of confidence, do you think I would have been caught by you so easily?
Alright, I don't want to say much now anyway. You can't make the decision either.
Let's wait until we get back to your Navy Headquarters, and see Sengoku before discussing how to deal with me.
"I want to rest for a bit. If you don't mind, arrange a better room for me. I won't run." Akira said to Aokiji with a smile, not having the attitude that a prisoner should have at all.
"You."
Aokiji was also helpless about Akira's attitude. Before they had come, Sengoku had already given the order. Just catch Akira.
Don't take his life no matter what. He also knew that Akira's life and death were of great importance.
Naturally, he didn't dare to mess around. Moreover, he didn't have that thought either.
"Someone, go find a better room for him. Give him whatever he wants, as long as it's not too much."
Aokiji knew that he couldn't do anything to Akira. So he could only fulfill his requests.
Moreover, he really wasn't worried about Akira escaping, because Akira's current state was already as bad as it could get.
More importantly, Akira's Death God Blade was still in his hands.
After arranging things for Akira, Aokiji found Vice Admiral Tsuru. Vice Admiral Tsuru asked, "Have you arranged things for him?"
Aokiji answered, "Mm, I've arranged things. I didn't expect that we would actually catch him so easily this time. You have to know that he made us suffer a lot back then. You're still amazing, Vice Admiral Tsuru."
Vice Admiral Tsuru said, It wasn't that easy. If it wasn't because he had exposed his identity because of the Amazon Lily Pirates, and it just so happened that he was also a swordsman, and could arouse Hawkeye's interest, we wouldn't have been able to catch him at all.
It can only be said that we had a bit of luck.
Aokiji said, "That's true. If he had gone to the New World, we wouldn't have been able to catch him from the hands of the Whitebeard Pirates even if we knew where he was."
A light of wisdom flickered in Vice Admiral Tsuru's eyes. She said in a solemn voice, Although we've caught him, the key issue now is how to deal with him.
He's Whitebeard's adopted son, the next undisputed successor of the next generation of the Whitebeard Pirates.
With Whitebeard's personality, what kind of consequences will be triggered if he knows that we've caught him?
Hearing Vice Admiral Tsuru's words, Aokiji's face was also full of solemnity.
"That's right. The subsequent matters are the key. The Four Emperors of the New World, Whitebeard, it will definitely be earth-shattering once he knows. A war will inevitably break out."
Vice Admiral Tsuru sighed, and said, That's why I'm not worried about whether or not we can catch him at all. Whitebeard has been fighting with our Navy for a lifetime.
I'm very clear about what kind of personality he has. This matter is of great importance. Let's go back and have Sengoku decide.
Although she was the Navy Chief of Staff, she still had to have Fleet Admiral Sengoku decide on such an important matter.
The warship headed to the Navy Headquarters in Marineford in the Grand Line at an extremely fast speed.
Sengoku and the others, who had already received the news, were all prepared, and were waiting for Akira's arrival.
"Get up. We've arrived."
Akira was lying down and resting. Aokiji pushed open the door, and walked in. He twitched his mouth as he looked at Akira's leisurely appearance.
Akira hadn't been anxious at all during this period. He had been eating and drinking well, not acting like a prisoner at all.
Akira turned over, and opened his sleepy eyes. He asked, "Oh, have we arrived at Marineford? That was so fast?"
Having stayed on the warship for so long, Akira could only wait for his body to slowly recover besides resting every day, because his body had been handcuffed with Sea Stone.
His body had been greatly restricted. There was no way for him to recover quickly. He could only wait for it to recover naturally.
However, although his body had been restricted, Akira hadn't done nothing. His battle with Hawkeye had benefited him a lot.
Although the two people's swordsmanship directions were completely different, Hawkeye's swordsmanship had given him great inspiration.
He had been digesting everything in the battle all along. He knew that once he had completely digested it, it would be time for him to take another step forward.
Aokiji said, "Let's go. Next is when you will be judged."
Akira stood up. Because his hands and feet had been handcuffed with Sea Stone shackles, and their weight was as high as hundreds of pounds, it was very difficult for Akira, whose body was weak, to even walk.
This was also the biggest reason why it was difficult for him to exercise and recover his body.
He walked slowly to Aokiji's front. A cold sneer appeared on Akira's lips, and he said, Want to judge me?
Your Navy doesn't have the qualifications. Do you dare to make a bet that you definitely won't dare to do anything to me?
