The warship and the training ship sailed side by side, heading at full speed towards Hachinosu Island, the last Paradise for pirates.
The atmosphere on the deck of the training ship was a little strange.
Hancock had recovered from her negative state, but her face looked even worse than when she was kneeling on the ground.
She stood at the ship's railing, staring at Perona hanging from the mainmast crossbar, the chill in her eyes almost freezing the surrounding air.
How dare you embarrass me in front of my husband!
Unforgivable!
Sensing the undisguised killing intent, Perona, swaying in mid-air, was far from afraid. Instead, she swung her legs triumphantly and made a face at Hancock: "Hehehe! You want to kill me? You wouldn't dare even if you had ten lives!"
" The Lord Marshal dotes on Perona the most! If it weren't for me following Hawk Eyes out to find some broken rock, you wouldn't have had a chance to get close to the Lord Marshal!"
Hancock's chest heaved with rage. If looks could kill, Perona would have been torn to pieces a thousand times over by now.
After showing off, Perona immediately put on a pitiful look, tilting her head to look at Akira at the cabin door, her voice so soft it could melt water. " Lord Marshal, this little girl knows she was wrong, can you put me down? Hanging on the mast isn't fun at all!"
Akira Yu and Mihawk were studying the terrain and troop deployment of Hachinosu Island, ignoring Perona's coquettish pleas.
Seeing that Akira ignored her, Perona pouted and immediately turned her attention to Mihawk, her expression turning fierce in an instant.
" Hawk Eyes! I command you, come and put me down right now!"
Mihawk's eye twitched slightly. Pretending not to hear, he pointed to the map and said, " Hachinosu Island has been under Ochoku's rule for years, and its strength should not be underestimated. In addition, with you leading the training ship into the New World, most of the pirates who fled at the mere mention of its name have gone to Hachinosu Island to join Ochoku."
"As of now, Hachinosu Island has attracted over a thousand pirate crews of varying sizes, with a total population of around 150,000."
"150,000?"
Akira narrowed his eyes slightly, tapping his fingertips lightly on the map. "I never expected that my trip to the New World would actually make Ochoku, that traitor, a star."
Mihawk paused for a moment upon hearing this, then asked, "What is a traitor?"
"He's a traitor." Akira smiled and explained, "Back when the God Valley Incident broke out, Ochoku, a member of the Rocks Pirates, made a secret agreement with the World Government. At the most crucial moment, he betrayed them and stabbed Rocks in the back. After the God Valley Incident, he occupied Hachinosu Island."
"That is precisely why the World Government has never actually launched a cleanup operation against Hachinosu Island in recent years."
At this point, Akira suddenly changed the subject, "Whatever agreement he reached with the World Government back then, it doesn't count with me."
"Now that I, the commander, am here in person, I will naturally uproot this so-called pirate Paradise."
Mihawk turned his head, glanced at the group of trainees on the training ship who were either recovering from injuries or excited, then looked at Yamato, Nekomamushi, and the others on his own ship, and said seriously, "There are at least 150,000 pirates gathered on Hachinosu Island right now. With just these two ships, it won't be easy for us to wipe them out completely."
"A mere 150,000 people are nothing to fear." Akira waved his hand dismissively, then glanced back at the interns on the deck and chuckled, "Don't underestimate these interns; their growth rate during this period has exceeded your expectations."
"Oh?" Mihawk turned his gaze back to the group of interns. "Beyond my expectations? That's a bit too high a compliment! How does it compare to when you first joined the Navy?"
"There's no comparison," Akira blinked, exclaiming without a hint of modesty, "There's no one like me in this world! For the next ten thousand years, you'll only remember the name ' Navy Marshal Akira '!"
The training ship and the warship gradually disappeared below the horizon.
Elbaf, on the cliff at the edge of Yangjie West Village.
Spark Gaban put down his binoculars and blinked blankly.
What's going on?
Why did the Navy Marshal's ship suddenly change course and leave?
Just as he was racking his brains trying to figure it out, he heard footsteps behind him, which drew his attention back.
Gaban turned around and looked in the direction of the sound.
A slender, pale hand, disproportionately large, descended from the sky above his head and landed steadily in front of him.
Then, Lipri's familiar and beautiful face peeked out from behind the cloud-like canopy and came into his view.
Before Gaban could react, Lipri, who was over ten meters tall, bent down, like a gentle mountain, casting the tiny Gaban in shadow.
"Why did you suddenly come here? Didn't I tell you to wait for me outside Walrus Academy?"
Gaban leaped down from the tree trunk, landing in Lipri's palm. He then settled into a comfortable position, lying on his side and grinning, "Just wanted to enjoy the scenery."
"Liar." Lipri extended the index finger of her other hand and gently poked Gaban's head. "Tell me the truth, did you sneak out to meet some giantess while I was teaching the children?"
"Absolutely not!" Gaban immediately raised his hand to swear, "My heart can only hold my wife!"
Lipri blushed slightly and gave a shy hum, "You're smart to know what's good for you."
As he spoke, he gently placed Gaban on the ground.
After Gaban stood firm, he was barely taller than Lipri's calves. Unless someone was specifically looking for him, no one would notice that this giantess was standing at the feet of a core member of Roger Pirates who had once been on par with Rayleigh.
Gaban looked up at his wife, who was as tall as a mountain yet didn't seem out of place at all, and silently gave himself a thumbs up in his heart.
Lao Tzu is really fierce.
Not only did he marry a giant wife, but he also successfully fathered a giant son.
Despite his inner smugness, Gaban's tone was extremely serious, " Lipri, we need to see Elder Yaruru!"
Lipri asked in surprise, "Why do you suddenly want to see Elder Yaruru?"
Gaban turned his head, his gaze once again fixed on the distant sea. "Ten minutes ago, the training ship led by Navy Marshal Akira appeared in the waters near Elbaf."
"Although we don't know why he suddenly changed course and left, we need to prepare in advance!"
"After all, he was the most ruthless and powerful Marshal in naval history. His presence near Elbaf was no coincidence!"
Upon hearing the name " Navy Marshal Akira," Lipri's pupils constricted sharply.
Immediately afterwards--
"Let's go!"
Without the slightest hesitation, she immediately bent down, cradled Gaban in her palm again, and turned to walk quickly toward the village.
