The salutes and shouts of the North Sea Fleet were like a tsunami, and the lingering sound seemed to linger over the training ship for a long time.
On the deck, there was an eerie silence.
Whether it was the fearless Luffy, the unruly Ace, or the three brothers Vinsmoke who prided themselves on being superior to others, they all seemed to have been cast a restraining spell at this moment and stood frozen on the spot.
The expressions on their faces were as wonderful as a silent mime.
The visual impact and spiritual shock brought about by the scene just now were far more intense than any devil training.
That is the embodiment of power and the ultimate expression of prestige.
"Gulu."
Luffy swallowed hard. He looked at the admired figure on the bow of the ship, and a strange idea suddenly came to his mind.
I think it would be good to mix in Navy King and come to Dangdang.
As soon as this thought came up, Luffy shook his head vigorously to get it out of his mind.
No, no! I want to be Pirate King's man!!
Luffy said this secretly in his heart.
On the other side, the expressions of the three brothers Vinsmoke Family were even more complicated.
The arrogance on the faces of the eldest son Ichiji and the second son Niji has long been washed away, replaced by a kind of awe from the depths of their souls. They thought that Germa's technological power was enough to make them despise everything, but in the face of Navy Marshal's power that could shake the world, that little technological power was simply a joke.
They finally understood why their father Judge chose to surrender so decisively.
That is not surrender, but the wisest choice when facing an insurmountable chasm.
The reaction of the eldest daughter Reiju was more restrained. She stared at the back of Akira quietly, with a strange light shining in her pale pink eyes. Something was quietly sprouting and taking root in her heart.
As the only "family member" on the ship, Hancock is already obsessed with love.
Holding her hot cheeks in her hands, she looked at Akira from a distance, and her mind had begun to imagine an unprecedented grand wedding of the century. The entire navy would give blessings to their Marshal, and the whole world would witness her happiness.
In this silence where everyone had their own thoughts, a figure broke the silence.
I saw Zoro walking behind Akira, his expression more serious than ever before, and he called out historically, "Lord Marshal."
Akira looked back at Moss Head who was standing in front of him with a warm smile.
"I heard from instructor Morgan that you are also a great swordsman?" Zoro tightened his grip on the handle of the sword at his waist, with fire burning in his eyes.
Akira smiled and nodded, "That's right."
After receiving an affirmative answer, Zoro took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to say, "Then who has the stronger swordsmanship, you or Hawk Eyes?"
As soon as this question came up, except for Morgan and Hancock, the ears of everyone else on the internship boat stood up.
Dracule Mihawk and World's Greatest Swordsman are the pinnacles that all swordsmen should look up to, and Akira is currently the most famous and powerful Navy Marshal.
Which of these two people is stronger or weaker?
"Do you even need to ask?"
Before Akira could answer, Morgan on the side spoke first. He puffed up his chest and his face was full of pride, "It is undeniable that Hawk Eyes's swordsmanship is very strong, but in front of Lord Marshal, he is nothing!"
Zoro heard this, but there was a trace of doubt in his eyes.
He admitted that Akira was powerful, but the difference in swordsmanship was a matter of a thousand miles. The title of No. 1 in the world cannot be said by words.
"Lord Marshal, I want to challenge you!" Zoro's tone was extremely firm.
Akira blinked. "Challenge me?"
"Whenever you can create such a slashing wave, let's talk about challenging me."
After the words fell, Akira slowly pulled out the long knife from his waist.
He didn't put up any posture, he just casually slashed at the sea in front of him in the air.
There is no earth-shattering momentum, nor gorgeous and dazzling light effects.
There was only an extremely bright sword light, which seemed to tear apart the space and traverse the sky.
The next moment.
The sea was violently split open.
A dark ravine that was thousands of meters long and bottomless appeared ferociously on the sea surface. The turbulent water was pushed away by an invisible force and could not be closed, as if a terrifying scar had opened on the sea surface that would never heal.
Everyone on the internship boat was completely speechless at this moment.
Luffy's mouth opened into an O shape, and his eyes almost popped out of his sockets. He pointed at the abyss of the sea and couldn't say a complete sentence for a long time.
The shock on Ace's face could not be greater. In front of this devastating sword, not to mention the sea, even a big mountain would be cut open by it.
Others seemed to be petrified and stood there blankly.
As the challenger, Zoro, his whole body was even more stiff, and the hand holding the knife was trembling slightly.
It wasn't fear, it was despair.
He finally understood how far there was between himself and the true peak.
"Beyond Hawk Eyes, you still have a chance."
Akira sheathed the knife, and a calm voice reached Zoro's ears.
"But it is absolutely impossible to surpass me."
After saying that, he ignored the frightened brats and turned around and walked back to the cabin.
Zoro stood in place for a long, long time.
Finally, he turned around silently and walked to the training area at the stern of the ship without saying a word.
From that day on, he practiced more crazily than ever before.
The internship ship continued sailing and finally sailed into a Affiliated Nation port in the North Sea.
However, before the internship boat had completely docked, everyone on the deck was shocked by the scene before them and their scalps were numb.
On the sea surface of the port, there were densely packed corpses floating there. At a rough count, there were no less than a hundred.
The strangest thing is that every corpse has no head.
What's even more chilling is that there are clearly hundreds of corpses floating, but the sea surface is extremely clear, without a trace of blood.
"What, what's going on?" Usopp turned pale with fright, hiding behind Franky and shivering.
"Looking at their clothes, they are all famous pirates in the North Sea." Morgan analyzed, "They probably knew that the royal family of this country was going to move to Holy Land, so they wanted to take the opportunity to loot the royal city, but they were intercepted."
Morgan As soon as he finished speaking, a series of bubbles suddenly appeared on the calm water surface of the port.
Immediately afterwards, a yellow submarine emerged from the water like a ghost.
On the deck of the submarine, stood a skinny young man wearing a spotted hat and holding a long knife.
He raised his head, looked past the headless corpses, and looked directly at Akira on the training ship. His voice was not loud, but it was extremely clear.
"Heart Pirates Captain, Trafalgar Law, is willing to offer his loyalty to Lord Navy Marshal Akira Saint."
"The corpses of these pirates are my welcome gift."
He paused and stated his conditions.
"I only have one condition, please Lord Marshal take me to see Doflamingo."
Akira looked at the familiar figure on the submarine, a little surprised.
I didn't expect to meet Luo here, let alone that he would surrender on his own initiative.
"You are very courageous." Akira narrowed his eyes slightly, with a playful smile on his lips, "How dare you negotiate terms with me."
"However, since you have cleaned up so much garbage at sea, I can give you a chance."
Akira The topic changed.
"It's just that if you go to see Doflamingo now, you will end up badly. Because you are no match for him. The most important thing is that he is now my capable general."
"Of course, I can mediate the grievances between you."
Akira's voice is plain, but it carries an unquestionable majesty.
"There are not many opportunities like this. I hope you can seize it. Because meeting me on this sea is the greatest luck in your life."
Luo's pupils shrank suddenly.
"Do you know the grudge between me and Doflamingo?"
"Of course." Akira smiled, "There are not many secrets in this world for me."
"The grudge between you and Doflamingo originated from the fact that you took the initiative to find him with a bomb strapped to your body. If not for this, what happened next would not have happened."
"Corazon, I won't die to save you!"
Boom!
Luo's mind went blank for a moment, and he looked at Akira in shock.
He was certain that this was the first time he had seen the legendary Navy Marshal.
Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for Akira to know about his relationship with Corazon.
Looking at Luo's expression of seeing a ghost, Akira continued, "Times have changed, Luo."
"As long as you let go of your obsessions and be loyal to me, I will give you a chance to be reborn and make you a new star shining in the new era."
