Marco laughed, "You really understand me, Akira. I haven't said anything yet, and you already know what I want to say. But this matter is indeed only you can do it."
Akira also laughed, and said, "You bastard, I'm still the captain of the pirate crew. How does it feel like I'm still being commanded by you when I get to your place, and you're even talking so eloquently."
Marco laughed, and said, "You still have the nerve to say that you're the captain of the pirate crew? Since Pops appointed you as the captain, when have you ever taken care of things? You leave everything to me. I haven't even complained, and you're actually complaining to me. Do you think I want to do so many things? I'd rather be like Jozu and the others, only responsible for obeying orders and doing things. This kind of thing that requires using my brain is really too annoying for me."
"Haha."
Akira laughed out loud, and he immediately changed the subject, and asked, "Let's not talk about this. You should still tell me why it must be me who goes? I think you must have a very important reason. Although I have guessed a bit, but in order to save some brain cells, you should just say it."
"Brain cells? What is that?"
Marco muttered, but he didn't care too much. Instead, he continued, "The reason for letting you go is because you are the captain of our Whitebeard Pirates. Only you can represent the Whitebeard Pirates. Plus, you are strong, and I believe you are enough to deal with the Sweet Commanders of the Big Mom Pirates. More importantly, you can use this battle to announce to the other forces in the New World that our Whitebeard Pirates will not fear anyone, any force."
"Not a bad idea."
Akira said with a smile, "Although my injuries haven't fully recovered yet, I will never let that old woman Big Mom take Fish-Man Island from my hands, and hurt my brothers."
"The people of the Big Mom Pirates are about to arrive at Fish-Man Island. You should set off earlier. I have already arranged a ship for you," Marco said to Akira.
Akira's eyes widened. He found that this Marco guy was really too cunning. How hadn't he discovered it before? However, he had to admit that Marco's methods were indeed very clever. With Marco assisting him in leading the Whitebeard Pirates, it really saved him too much trouble. Whether it was internally or externally, Marco handled everything very well.
Akira left alone. After he boarded the ship, he realized that Marco had already arranged manpower for him. Not only was 'Fire Fist' Ace here, but even Aokiji was on the ship. Seeing Akira board the ship, Aokiji nodded to him. Ace, on the other hand, was talking to Akira happily. Since Akira had killed Blackbeard, Ace, who felt guilty, had completely relaxed, and became the same as before.
"Captain, have your injuries recovered?"
While the pirate ship Moby Dick was rapidly heading towards Fish-Man Island, Ace asked Akira.
Akira said, "I'm not in any serious danger. This time, our Whitebeard Pirates were able to destroy the Blackbeard Pirates. You have made a great contribution."
Ace said with a smile, "I didn't make any contribution. It's mainly everyone's efforts. Compared to everyone fighting on the front line, our Second Division, who consolidated the rear, actually took a big advantage."
Akira said, "Don't belittle yourself. If you hadn't blocked Doflamingo, it wouldn't have been so easy for us to win this war. So, your contribution is very great."
Ace said, "It's the Captain who is strong. If it wasn't for you, Captain, who defeated that Blackbeard guy, the Blackbeard Pirates wouldn't have collapsed so easily. So, if you want to talk about the greatest contribution, it's still on you, Captain."
Akira smiled. He didn't expect that Ace would also be so complimentary.
Besides the Second Division of the Whitebeard Pirates, Aokiji also followed Akira this time. However, Aokiji's presence was very low. After boarding the ship, he basically didn't speak again. But even so, no one dared to underestimate him, because everyone had seen Aokiji's terror in the previous Battle of Sapporo Strait. It could be said that the Blackbeard Pirates' collapse was also greatly related to Aokiji.
"Jinbe shouldn't be in danger, right?"
While chatting, Ace and Akira talked about Jinbe, because their purpose was to solve Jinbe and Fish-Man Island.
Akira said, "He won't be in danger. Don't worry. That old woman Big Mom's purpose is the desserts of Fish-Man Island. She won't kill Fish-Man Island before she gets her purpose. And Jinbe is also very shrewd. Even without us, he will make proper arrangements. So, he won't be in danger before we get to Fish-Man Island."
Akira was indeed not too worried about Jinbe's safety. The Sun Pirates were not weak, and Jinbe was also very strong. Even if the Sweet Commanders of the Big Mom Pirates wanted to deal with him, it wouldn't be so easy. Moreover, Charlotte Linlin's purpose was not to kill people, but to get desserts. So, as long as she could make Fish-Man Island submit, she wouldn't kill people at will.
While Akira and the others were heading towards Fish-Man Island, Fish-Man Island was indeed facing a huge crisis. Because the vanguard of the Big Mom Pirates, the pirate ship led by Charlotte Cracker, had arrived in front of Fish-Man Island.
"Lord Jinbe, not good, not good."
In Ryugu Palace, Jinbe was staying with King Neptune of Fish-Man Island. Since Whitebeard died in the Battle of Marineford, the days of Fish-Man Island had become very difficult. Even though Jinbe had returned with the Sun Pirates, although it had changed a little, it was still very chaotic. So, he hadn't left Fish-Man Island all these months. Even if the Whitebeard Pirates and the Blackbeard Pirates were fighting fiercely, he hadn't left, not because he didn't want to help, but because he was powerless.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
The fish-man who rushed into Ryugu Palace was one of the fish-man pirates of the Sun Pirates. Even with King Neptune of Fish-Man Island in front of him, this fish-man first greeted Jinbe.
The fish-man pirate who came said loudly, "Lord Jinbe, a strong enemy has come from outside. Judging from the flag, they should be pirates under the command of the Four Emperors of the New World."
"Pirates under the command of the Four Emperors?"
Jinbe and Neptune's faces changed greatly at the same time, and then they stood up. Jinbe was first full of tension, but then he seemed to have remembered something, and asked, "Which Four Emperor Pirate Crew? Is it the Whitebeard Pirates?"
Although Akira was not yet a Four Emperor recognized by the New World, many people had already regarded him as a Four Emperor. So, Jinbe thought that the people from the Whitebeard Pirates had come. If that was really the case, then it would be a good thing instead.
However, that fish-man shook his head, and said, "It's not the Whitebeard Pirates, it's the Big Mom Pirates."
In an instant, Jinbe and Neptune's faces became extremely ugly. They didn't think that the Big Mom Pirates would pass by Fish-Man Island for no reason. They came to Fish-Man Island, and definitely had other purposes...
"Who came from Fish-Man Island?" Jinbe asked in a deep voice.
"It's Charlotte Cracker, one of the Sweet Commanders of the Big Mom Pirates!"
Hearing this, Jinbe's face became even uglier. The Sweet Commanders were extremely famous figures in the Big Mom Pirates. Their bounty was more than 800 million Berries. They were well-deserved great pirates, even higher than Jinbe's bounty.
Neptune said with extreme solemnity, "The Sweet Commanders of the Big Mom Pirates rarely show their faces. But once they appear, they must be carrying Big Mom's orders. Coming to our Fish-Man Island must be with ill intentions towards our Fish-Man Island."
There was no need for Neptune to say this. Jinbe was also very clear. However, since the other party had come, they naturally had to think of a way to deal with it.
Jinbe said, "Now that things have come to this, we have no choice. Fortunately, I contacted Marco of the Whitebeard Pirates not long ago. He promised to send someone to solve the trouble in Fish-Man Island."
"The Whitebeard Pirates?"
Hearing the Whitebeard Pirates, Neptune's face revealed a bit of tension. He used to be good friends with Whitebeard, so Whitebeard would protect Fish-Man Island. But now that Whitebeard was dead, he didn't have much interaction with the new captain Akira. Fortunately, Jinbe's relationship with Akira was not bad.
Before, the Whitebeard Pirates and the Blackbeard Pirates were fighting, so naturally they didn't have time to care about the affairs of Fish-Man Island. But now it was different. Blackbeard had been killed by Akira, and the Blackbeard Pirates had been destroyed. Akira had reoccupied the Whitebeard Pirates' former territory. His momentum was so strong that he was definitely standing at the peak in the New World.
Although the name of Death God was not bigger than Big Mom now, if he had the full protection of the Whitebeard Pirates, even if the Big Mom Pirates wanted to move Fish-Man Island, they would have to weigh it, because the Whitebeard Pirates were famous for being protective of their own.
"Jinbe, will the Death God of the Whitebeard Pirates really come to help us?" Neptune asked uncertainly.
Neptune's question, in Jinbe's view, was completely unnecessary.
