The Arrival of the Parallel World Akatsuki

A month passed in the blink of an eye.

Inside the New Navy's conference room.

"So, you intend to incorporate the New Navy into the Akatsuki?"

Yahiko looked at Dragon and Sengoku with a smile.

"That's right. You need to make up for your lack of fighting strength too," Sengoku said in a deep voice.

This was the result of a month of discussions.

Since they could not bargain with them, they would use this method to give the navy room to develop.

"I'd say you want to replace the Akatsuki."

Yahiko looked at Sengoku, his face full of smiles.

"That's right," Sengoku said directly.

"We do have that intention. Whether we can pull it off depends on you."

They had no intention of concealing it. Both sides already knew about it, and hiding it would benefit no one.

"I imagine you have plenty of confidence in your own abilities."

Sengoku spoke up.

This was a choice made specifically to exploit Yahiko's weakness.

They could not merely be called an organization. They were a true force.

If the Akatsuki absorbed the navy, it would be like a small fish trying to swallow a whale.

It was inherently difficult.

That alone left Yahiko hesitant.

Though he was indeed confident, he was no fool.

Absorbing the navy was not something he could manage through cleverness alone.

"This will require our leader's approval."

In the end, Yahiko chose to stall for time.
