"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Perona As soon as Perona finished speaking, the third team captain Diamond Jozu, who was standing on the left hand side of Whitebeard, suddenly took a step forward and glared with a fierce expression at the little boy who dared to point at their father's nose and scream twice. Shen The voice said, "If it weren't for dad's protection over the years, Fish-Man Island would have been reduced to a place of silence! Now you come here and just want us to stop interfering with Fish-Man Island with just one sentence. Do you really think that we are just for show? You kid!"
"Eh~"
Perona glanced at Diamond Jozu, who had an angular face, no eyebrows, dark skin, and an angry look on his face with disgust, "You are not cute at all, a big guy, and I don't like you! Also, didn't you hear clearly what I just said? We are not here to discuss with you this time, but to inform you unilaterally! Start playing, start playing, start playing!"
Unexpectedly, Perona would be so arrogant. Jozu was so angry that he clenched his fists and said with an angry face, "You... are looking for death!"
Jozu As soon as he finished speaking, Perona suddenly opened his eyes wide, "Wow, you ugly big man, how dare you threaten this princess!"
"Mihawk!"
Before Jozu could react, Loli suddenly floated behind Mihawk, like a frightened porcelain doll, but her expression was particularly fierce. "Quickly, draw your knife and chop this big black guy, or I will tell Mr. Akira that you failed to protect this princess!"
"Hei Bu Liu Qiu?"
The corners of Mihawk's mouth twitched wildly, but the movements of his hands did not stop. He quickly grabbed the Black Blade knife handle with his backhand. At the same time, he took a step forward and glanced sharply at Jozu, "Diamond Jozu, you'd better represent Whitebeard, otherwise you can't afford the consequences of your words and deeds now!"
Feeling that the atmosphere suddenly became tense again, all the captains of Whitebeard Pirates tightened their heartstrings.
It's not because they are afraid of Mihawk and his entourage.
In terms of pure combat power on the scene, even if Mihawk leads the team, it will not pose a threat to Whitebeard Pirates, who is all present at this time.
However, Mihawk and the others are now carrying the name of the iron-blooded Marshal of the Navy. If they attack Mihawk and his party at this time, it means they are declaring war on the Navy.
Once the battle starts, the naval fleet will arrive, and maybe even as Perona said, the iron-blooded Marshal will also come in person.
Just when the atmosphere became tense, and Denjiro, Jinbe and others who followed Mihawk were secretly on guard and ready to fight, Shanks, who was the last First Ascent to follow Moby Dick, suddenly grinned.
Then, he held the hilt of the sword with one hand and took a step forward, looking at the domineering Mihawk with a smile, "Hawk Eyes, you are even more angry now than when you were Shichibukai!"
"Although this matter has nothing to do with me, you and I both know very well that the reason why Fish-Man Island has been able to live in peace and harmony over the years is all because of the protection of Whitebeard."
"The most important thing is that although Whitebeard has incorporated Fish-Man Island into his territory, he has not done anything harmful to Fish-Man Island in these years. He is completely using his name to seek temporary stability for Fish-Man Island!"
"This also means that Fish-Man Island is a completely free existence."
Having said this in one breath, Shanks suddenly changed the subject, turned around, glanced around Diamond Jozu and other captains, and finally turned his attention to Whitebeard, "So, the issue of Fish-Man Island's ownership is not a problem at all. You can sit down and have a drink and chat. There is no need to make the atmosphere so tense."
"How about I be the peacemaker in this matter and try to come up with a solution that is the best of both worlds for both of you!"
"Just take it as such and give me some face!"
I didn't expect that Shanks would come forward and intervene in this matter. The members of Whitebeard Pirates were a little unexpected.
Similarly, Mihawk also turned his head slightly to look at Shanks.
For him personally, he will definitely give Shanks face.
But now, he came here not on a personal matter, but on orders from Akira.
In the eyes of major pirate forces, even the former navy or World Government, Shanks's face counts.
Because in the pirate world, Shanks is one of the Yonko who dominates New World.
The navy in the Sengoku era was restricted by World Government and could not easily go to war with Yonko, so it would also give Shanks face.
Five Elders, who is in charge of World Government, feels that Shanks has no ambition, and believes that the existence of Shanks can check and balance the situation of New World. In addition, because Shanks has the blood of Celestial Dragons flowing in his body, he will naturally turn a blind eye.
But now Akira has the final say in the navy and even World Government.
Even the two Kaido Charlotte Linlin and Yonko will cut them off whenever they say. Akira will naturally not give Shanks face.
Thinking of this, Mihawk stopped talking for a while and then stopped silent. He said in a cold tone, "Shanks, as one of New World Yonko, you suddenly appeared in the territory of Whitebeard. You should know very well that just the meeting between the two of you is enough to trigger a new war."
"So, in this case, don't cause trouble, unless you want to start an all-out war with the navy now!"
"In addition, Perona has made it very clear that we are not here to discuss with Whitebeard, but to inform!"
"Now that the information is in place, there is no need for us to stay here and disturb your meeting with Whitebeard!"
"I declare on behalf of Akira Marshal that from now on, Whitebeard Pirates will unconditionally withdraw from Fish-Man Island and be fully taken over by the Navy!"
After saying that, Mihawk raised his head and glanced at Whitebeard, who had not expressed any opinion from beginning to end, and then turned around calmly.
Seeing this, Perona quickly floated up to follow Mihawk's footsteps.
Immediately afterwards, Nico Robin secretly breathed a sigh of relief and followed closely behind.
Jinbe and others did not leave immediately. They all raised their heads to look at the tall figure standing proudly in front of them, and turned around one after another with complicated eyes.
Regardless of their current status, personally, whether it is Jinbe, Nekomamushi or Duke Inuarashi, they all respect Whitebeard very much.
If they have a choice, they definitely don't want to conflict with Whitebeard.
Especially Jinbe, the last thing he wants to see is a war between them because of Fish-Man Island and Whitebeard.
As the only place where pirates entered New World in the first half of Grand Line, if it weren't for the protection of Whitebeard, today's Fish-Man Island would have been riddled with holes.
"Mihawk, stop!"
Unexpectedly, Mihawk turned around and left without even talking. Diamond Jozu and Vista the Flower Sword spoke out almost at the same time, and then both ducked out, trying to stop Mihawk.
As the captain of Whitebeard Pirates, how could they endure such a tone.
Although Fish-Man Island is not even a territory to Whitebeard Pirates, Mihawk's attitude is really bullying. To unilaterally announce their unconditional withdrawal from Fish-Man Island is undoubtedly treating Whitebeard Pirates as nothing.
Fish-Man Island is no longer important.
The important thing is that the glory of Whitebeard Pirates must never be allowed to be trampled on like this!
