When Akira returned to Holy Land, it was already three days later.
Because during this period, Akira went to G5 Branch and the first branch again.
According to the work report of G5 Branch and the first branch, Akira discovered that in recent times, the number of pirate groups known to have entered New World has decreased a lot compared to before he became Navy Marshal. It can even be described as a fault.
Of course, this is reasonable. In recent times, the navy has taken frequent actions. First, it issued a pirate hunt order for East Blue, then exerted extreme pressure to recruit Shichibukai, and then immediately launched an iron-blooded suppression against Beasts Pirates and Big Mom Pirates.
Faced with such a general trend, except for some stupid young people and the ignorant pirate group who are still active, the rest of the pirates have chosen to avoid the edge temporarily. Under such circumstances, the number of pirate groups entering New World will naturally decrease sharply.
However, although the number of pirates who entered New World dropped sharply, the pirates of New World did not restrain themselves because of the fall of the two sea emperors Kaido and Charlotte Linlin. Instead, they continued to fight with each other, all dreaming of becoming the new Yonko.
There was even a pirate captain who, after Kaido and Charlotte Linlin were executed, hoped to get the reborn Devil Fruit belonging to the two Yonko, thereby becoming the successors of the new Strongest Creature of the sea, land and air and the soul Devil Fruit ability.
After a day's delay in each branch, Akira, Gion, Gunko, Katakuri and Morgan finally climbed to the top of Holy Land on the third day.
"Lord Marshal, do you want to stop at Holy Land?"
As soon as he walked out of the elevator, Gion was the first to speak, and then said, "If Lord Marshal wants to stay in Holy Land for two days, Gion will take Katakuri back to the headquarters first, and make some preparations for World Military Draft with Staff Officer Tsuru and the others in advance."
"Okay."
Akira nodded, "You go back to headquarters to put the recruitment plan on the agenda, and I will collect some money at Holy Land! There are now more than 900,000 people in the navy. If the army is expanded to 1.5 million, not only will the recruitment period be huge, but the salaries of the officers and soldiers will also double in the future. Just relying on the little money from the Markas family and the Shepard family will not be able to sustain it for long."
Gunko blurted out. "Isn't there Lord Im's vault?"
Akira raised his hand and patted the newsboy cap on Gunko's head lightly, "You don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are, even if you have Imu's small treasury, it's just a drop in the bucket."
Hearing this, Gunko blinked blankly, inexplicably feeling that what Akira said was right, and said stupidly, "Gunko has saved some private money over the years, if Mr. Akira needs it..."
"Is your personal money enough to buy records?"
Akira raised his hand again to pat the newsboy cap on Gunko's head out of habit, but after raising his hand, he found something was wrong, so he put it down again.
"Sir Akira... you know that Gunko likes to collect records?"
Gunko didn't notice this action of Akira, and looked at Akira with big eyes in surprise, with a hint of expectation in her eyes that maybe even she didn't know about.
Seeing Gunko's reaction, Akira suddenly remembered some of the mysteries of Gunko's life experience, and asked calmly, "Gunko, I want to ask you a question!"
"What?" Gunko blinked. Her cute look made it easy for people to ignore her identity as Knights of God.
Of course, this side of her will only be shown in front of Akira. If Akira is not here, she will definitely return to her usual indifference and the momentum that Knights of God should have in a second.
Unless she had a different kind of affection for Akira, from the moment she became a member of Knights of God, her emotions were sealed when she signed a devil's contract with Imu. The reason why she was in The reason why Akira shows her cute side in front of her is because Akira's current identity and status are much higher than hers. To put it in simple and straightforward terms, Akira is the king alongside Holy Land.
Akira stopped and looked Gunko up and down for a moment, then asked tentatively, "Is the way you are dressed because of some agreement you had with someone?"
"An agreement with someone?"
Gunko blinked blankly, and then looked down at her long legs. At this sight, she couldn't help but blush slightly, and said nervously, "Gunko doesn't know why he likes to dress up like this. Just like collecting records and collecting music slaves, Gunko has no other ideas. He just thinks it should be like this."
"Really?"
Akira blinked and said thoughtfully, "Come on, call your father and listen!"
"Nani?"
Gunko's beautiful eyes widened, as if she thought she heard wrongly, she stared blankly at Akira.
Similarly, Gion, who was following him, did not expect that Akira would suddenly say these words. He was caught off guard and turned his head to the side to widen his beautiful eyes like Gunko, with a strange look in his eyes.
As early as Wano Country, she discovered that Akira was different from Gunko, especially when Imu suddenly possessed Gunko After, Akira actually sympathized with Gunko and asked Gunko if he wanted to store some Conqueror's Haki in his body.
At that time, she thought that their Lord Marshal had finally figured it out, but she didn't expect that they actually wanted Gunko to call him "Father"?
This sudden father-daughter situation not only caught Gion by surprise, but Katakuri who was following them also raised his head and looked at Akira with strange eyes.
Could it be that Akira Marshal has this hobby?
This idea just popped up, Katakuri couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, and then turned his head calmly, pretending not to see or hear.
"Do you really want to scream?"
Seeing that Akira didn't seem to be joking, Gunko felt a little ashamed for no reason.
If it weren't for Akira's status, she would have gone berserk on the spot, released Devil Fruit ability and tied him into a mummy.
Akira smiled and nodded, "Give me a try."
Hearing this, Gunko was heartbroken. His lips, which were covered by bandages, moved slightly. Then he shouted with red cheeks and a stutter, "Father... Father."
"Did you remember anything?"
Akira sounded a little excited, "For example, why do you like to only wear fat clothes? For example, why do you like to collect records and be a music slave?"
Gunko blinked blankly, "No."
"Okay," Akira shrugged slightly and said with a hint of disappointment, "Maybe the time has not come yet."
Before he finished speaking, Akira immediately turned to look at Gion and others, "You guys go back to Marineford first."
Gion nodded slightly, "Okay!"
After saying that, Gion glanced at Gunko with a complicated mood, and then walked out quickly with Morgan, Katakuri and others.
Gion and the group just stepped out, Gunko suddenly returned the topic to private money, and tentatively said, "Akira Master, Navy Sergeant's annual salary high? Gunko's private money is about more than 2 billion Beli. Adding the gold and jewelry stored over the years, it should be about 5 billion."
(⊙_⊙)?
(¯¯)
Rich woman!
I almost missed 5 billion!
After giving several facial expressions that were worthy of a movie star, Akira quickly shouted, "Gion, go to Gunko's house first."
