After Conqueror's Haki covered the entire island, an eerie silence descended upon the entire Hachinosu Island.
If it weren't for the streets and alleys being filled with countless pirates, no one would have noticed that a Conqueror's Haki storm had just erupted here.
On a city street, Mihawk and his group met at an intersection.
Denjiro his hand on the hilt of his sword, his gaze sweeping over the devastated scene. His expression appeared calm, but inwardly, a raging storm was brewing within him.
A single, Haki surge of power rendered all the hundreds of thousands of pirates entrenched there, along with several hundred captains renowned throughout the New World, lying motionless on the ground. This power... is it right?
The Boss Nekomamushi, with his pipe dangling from his lips, took a deep drag, the smoke he exhaled trembling slightly.
"That's terrifying Conqueror's Haki... If only Akira Yu had used something like that back in the Mokomo Dukedom..."
He stopped mid-sentence, not daring to think any further.
Just thinking about it sent chills down his spine.
It was at this moment that he truly realized just how ridiculously powerful this young Navy Marshal was.
Isn't that obvious?
Perona, holding her little red umbrella, floated lightly in mid-air, her head held high, her face beaming with pride, "My Lord Marshal, invincible, invincible!"
Mihawk didn't stop, his hawk-like eyes sweeping over the crowd, his voice as calm as ever, "Let's go, there are only a few more Axe-Hand Morgan to deal with."
"Hey! Hawk Eyes, wait for me!" Perona called out quickly, pulling Robin along to catch up.
Denjiro and the others followed closely behind.
As Mihawk and his group entered the huge square in front of the castle, Akira was also leading Hancock, Nami, and Luffy, Usopp, and others who had just joined them, out from another street.
On the square, the interns who had been waiting there turned around immediately upon seeing Akira.
"Whoosh!"
They stood tall, raised their hands in salute, and every one of them had an almost fanatical adoration burning in their eyes.
Akira didn't stop, raised his hand in return, and wore a gentle smile, "Thank you all for your hard work."
"For justice! Super!"
Franky was the first to step forward, striking an extremely flamboyant pose and becoming the center of attention.
Just then, a white figure carrying a huge spiked club came running from behind like a gust of wind, quickly catching up with Akira.
" Lord Marshal!" Yamato exclaimed excitedly, his eyes shining brightly. " The Conqueror's Haki you just unleashed was incredible! Could you teach me sometime? I want to learn the correct way to use Conqueror's Haki too!"
"Once I master the correct way to use Conqueror's Haki, I'll just stomp my foot and be done with it when I'm on a mission!"
Akira smiled and nodded, "Okay. After this mission is over and we return to Marine Headquarters, I will personally guide you."
"Very good!"
Yamato cheered excitedly and opened his arms to give Akira a big hug.
However, she was met with an incredibly fast side kick!
Hancock had somehow appeared in front of Akira, her long, beautiful legs whistling through the air as she aimed straight for Yamato's face.
Bang!
Yamato reacted extremely quickly, raising her arm to block in an instant. The immense force made her take half a step back.
She glared at Hancock, whose face was as cold as ice, and said angrily, " Hancock, you want to fight? Others may be afraid of you, but I'm not!"
" Yamato, I support you!" Perona, always eager for chaos, floated over and chimed in, "This woman actually wants to monopolize the Lord Marshal! She must learn that the Lord Marshal doesn't belong to anyone!"
Hancock slowly withdrew her leg, her icy gaze sweeping over the two of them, a sneer playing on her lips. "Want to fight? I'm ready!"
He beckoned to the two of them, "You two, come at me together."
Ignoring the imminent "war" behind him, Akira walked straight towards the castle gate.
Standing before the castle gates, Ochoku looked down at the young figure strolling leisurely towards him, his small eyes gradually narrowing into slits.
He had long learned about everything Akira had done since launching the coup through the news and newspapers, but he never imagined that he would face this Marshal of war marshal so soon.
In his view, Akira, as Navy Marshal, could not possibly be like the Admiral and Vice Admiral in the headquarters, who would casually wander around the New World.
The fact is that the other side not only came, but also arrived on Hachinosu Island in such a powerful manner.
Just a short time ago, he was still boasting in the castle that he would lead a group of pirate captains to meet this legendary Navy Marshal.
Before the two even officially met, he was left with only three captains who were still standing.
As Akira approached step by step, Mihawk and the interns behind him followed suit.
The aura formed by dozens of powerful individuals pressed down heavily on the castle gate like an invisible mountain.
Feeling the overwhelming pressure, the three captains next to Ochoku, even though they were all big pirates with bounties of over a billion, tensed up and were ready to run away at any moment!
As Akira was about to reach him, Ochoku feigned composure and took a step forward, staring intently at Akira. " Navy Marshal Akira... do you want to kill me?"
"Don't forget, I'm connected with the World Government— "
Buzz--
Before Ochoku finish speaking, the Conqueror's Haki, at its most violent and extreme, descended once more!
However, this time, the Conqueror's Haki did not sweep across the entire island, but instead precisely targeted Ochoku three companions in front of the castle gate!
"!!!!!"
Ochoku looked up in horror.
"How is that possible!"
His obese body trembled violently with shock, and his voice distorted, "You've already unleashed Conqueror's Haki once, so why... why is your Conqueror's Haki still so strong!"
As a powerful figure from the old era on this vast ocean, his understanding of Conqueror's Haki is naturally deeper than many others. Yet, even so, Akira's Conqueror's Haki seems to have no upper limit; he can unleash it at will. Is he Conqueror's Haki wholesaler?
It's important to understand that releasing Conqueror's Haki on such a large scale and at such a high intensity takes a huge toll on willpower and physical strength. Even Rocks back then could never have unleashed this level of Conqueror's Haki twice in a short period of time!
