After confirming that Akira was not looking for trouble, Celestial Dragons in the lobby gradually let go. Celestial Dragons, led by Smoker and others, even took this opportunity to take the initiative to get close to Akira.
"Akira Marshal, introduce yourself!!"
Smoker, who plucked up the courage to stand up and came to the opposite side of Akira, took off the bubble hood on his head and held it in his arms, then politely said, "My name is Izambaron·Smoker, and I am a member of the Holy Land Izambaron family!"
"A member of the Izambaron family? He has a distinguished background!"
Akira looked at Smoker in surprise. Like Chamber of Power and Financial God Izambaron·V·Nusjuro, the Celestial Dragons in front of him looked much healthier than most of the fat pigs here, both in body shape and spirit.
Of course, Akira does not think this is the family tradition of the Izambaron family, but is determined by their racial genes.
In the eyes of the world, World Nobles Celestial Dragons are not from the same ethnic group. This can be judged by their body shapes. Some Celestial Dragons here are short in stature, while some have surprisingly long arms, and some of them even have long necks. They are obviously from different races.
"Akira Marshal is ridiculous!"
Smoker smiled awkwardly. Their life experience is indeed prominent. Since the founding of World Government eight hundred years ago, they have been living in Holy Land as descendants of God, enjoying all privileges. All the orders, laws, and naval justice in the world cannot override them.
But these were completely broken with the appearance of Akira. In the eyes of this iron-blooded Marshal, they were nothing more than lambs to be slaughtered!
"Smoker, what are you doing?"
At this moment, a very discordant voice suddenly sounded. Then, Celestial Dragons, who was named Augsburg before, stood up angrily and faced Smoker Just a scolding, "As Celestial Dragons, you actually took the initiative to curry favor with Navy Marshal. If Lord Izambaron finds out, do you know what will happen to you?"
"Augsburg, I have tolerated you for a long time!"
Smoker turned around suddenly, hugged the bubble hood and ran quickly to Augsburg, "What do you mean I fawn over Navy Marshal? That is Lord Akira, whose status is the same as Five Elders of Chamber of Power. How dare you speak rudely to Lord Akira here several times!"
With that said, Smoker raised the bubble hood in his hand and hit Augsburg hard on the head.
Unexpectedly, Smoker would actually take action. The unsuspecting Augsburg had no time to dodge and could only watch the bubble hood dilate in his pupils.
Bang--
Accompanied by a sudden explosion, a big hole was punched out of the bubble hood on Augsburg's head by Smoker. The forceful impact even made Augsburg sit down.
"Ah--"
As soon as he sat down, Augsburg let out a scream, and then shouted in horror, "Help me, I... I can't breathe!"
Smoker was obviously still angry. Seeing that Augsburg behaved just because the bubble hood was broken, he did not hesitate at all. He picked up the bubble hood that was also broken again and smashed it wildly.
Ryokugyu, who was standing next to Akira, saw this scene in his eyes, and the expression on his face gradually became stiff.
Celestial Dragons, which he once strongly supported, seems to be no different!
However, when he thought of the mission Akira had given him before, his mood suddenly fell to the bottom. Asking Celestial Dragons to use money to maintain the normal operation of the navy in the next ten years? This is simply an impossible task.
Thinking of this, Ryokugyu asked cautiously, "Lord Marshal, won't you stop it?"
"Why do you want to stop it?" Akira tilted his head and looked at Ryokugyu, "It's so lively, wouldn't it spoil everyone's fun by trying to stop it?"
"Enough!"
At this moment, a cold shout suddenly came out, stopping Smoker from raising the bubble hood again and preparing to smash it down.
Looking around, I saw a man who was less than 1.5 meters tall and looked like a kid. He stood on the chair at some point and said coldly to Smoker: "Smoker, enough is enough. We are all Holy Land's Celestial Dragons. We should be consistent in speaking out, rather than standing in random lines because of the existence of some people!"
"Huh?"
Smoker turned his head to look at the man who was speaking. When he saw the man's face clearly, his eyes dodge for a moment, and then he still put the tattered bubble hood in his hand aside, and then said indignantly. He kicked Augsburg again and said fiercely, "For the sake of Manmaiya Ross, I'll let you go for now! If you don't accept it, we'll go back to Holy Land and continue!"
Seeing this, the "kid brother" named Manmaiya Ross immediately turned his attention to Akira who was sitting at the top, and said solemnly, "Akira Marshal, why did you invite us from Holy Land to Sabaody Archipelago? Don't say it is to resolve the misunderstanding, we are all smart people!"
Akira looked at the kid who was talking with great interest and said calmly, "Manmayer Family? One of the Celestial Dragons family members who participated in the God Valley slave hunting game back then. 1? It's interesting, you actually dare to challenge Smoker from the Izambaron family here. Is it because Manmayer Family performed outstandingly among God Valley Incident that year?"
"So what?" Manmaiya Ross did not avoid Akira's gaze at all, and his momentum was quite fierce, "I just want to know what your intention is in calling us here!"
"I do have something to discuss with you!"
Akira smiled and nodded, then raised his hand and pointed to Ryokugyu beside him, and introduced, "This is Marine Headquarters, the new Rear Admiral Aramaki, code name Ryokugyu. The reason why I introduce him to the distinguished Celestial Dragons is because he not only vigorously safeguards the rule of World Government, but also strongly supports you as Celestial Dragons."
"So I brought him here and asked him to meet you all so that we can see each other again in the future!"
"Next, let him have a chat with you."
Hearing this, all Celestial Dragons all looked at Ryokugyu. Some were confused, others looked at them as if they were ants, and most of them had contempt in their eyes.
Different from Celestial Dragons's reaction, Ryokugyu's heartstrings suddenly tightened when he heard Akira ask him to chat with Celestial Dragons, and his heartbeat sounded like that of Drums of Liberation.
At this moment, he finally understood why Akira asked him to stop participating in officer training and come to Sabaody Archipelago.
With the ability of Wood-Wood Fruit, what he needs is not combat training, but spiritual and will training. Akira brought him here not only to exercise his spiritual will, but also to test his ideological cognition.
After a brief silence, Ryokugyu secretly took a deep breath, then took a step forward and slowly raised his head, and then said with a serious expression, "My lords, I can stand here purely because Lord Marshal intends to support me!"
"To be honest, I came here mainly because I hope... I hope that all of you will be generous and provide a sum for the Navy--"
At this point, Ryokugyu was a little afraid to continue talking.
But after seeing Akira's encouraging eyes, he adjusted his breathing again and continued, "Everyone must have heard that Lord Marshal originally planned to expand the army by only 600,000, but did not expect that the number of people who came to sign up reached an astonishing 1.5 million! Such a large army will require an astronomical amount of funds. Therefore, I hope that you will generously donate to provide the navy with funds to maintain the normal operation of the navy in the next ten years!"
After saying that, Ryokugyu suddenly felt a sense of exhaustion sweeping over him, making him almost lose his balance.
Asking for funds from Celestial Dragons, who enjoys all the privileges of Holy Land? If Akira is not around, let alone asking for funds, just standing here will feel like he is disrespecting Celestial Dragons.
As Ryokugyu finished speaking, the entire lobby suddenly fell into deathly silence.
After a short seven or eight seconds, the lobby exploded.
