Holy Land Mary Geoise, Flower Chamber.
Imu, whose whole body was wrapped in a robe, was not at all affected by the fact that Akira had launched a troop change and led the navy to force Holy Land to make concessions. He was strolling alone in the garden, dark red ripples looking at a butterfly that stopped between his fingers, and an unprecedented wave of emotion that was not easy to detect appeared in his eyes.
"Lord Im!"
At this moment, a maid quickly walked into the garden and knelt down on one knee facing Imu.
Imu didn't look away, his eyes still stayed on the butterfly between his fingers. A slightly normal voice came out from under the scarf in a leisurely manner, "What have Akira been busy with these past two days?"
The maid did not dare to hide anything and bowed and said, "Replying to Lord Im, Akira gave the entire army a day off yesterday and held a banquet at the headquarters. All officers and soldiers and their families participated."
"However, he immediately held a headquarters meeting this morning. During the meeting, he sent six Headquarters Vice Admiral to recruit Shichibukai, and decided to hold a Shichibukai meeting three days later."
"Because of Marine Headquarters's financial problems, Akira targeted New World, Yumit, who is in charge of the lifeline of transportation and is known as King of Transport, and King of Loan Sharks, Duffield, who rose to prominence through loan sharking, and others!"
"Oh~" Hearing that Akira was targeting Yumit and others, Imu's eyes moved slightly, and he immediately waved his hand to let the butterflies fly away. He looked back at the maid who was kneeling on one knee, "He is not just to loot these people's wealth, but to cut off the forces connected with these people!"
"Especially King of Transport Yumit, New World, once they lose this transportation line. Kaido, Edward Newgate, or Charlotte Linlin, it will be almost impossible for them to stabilize in their respective territories."
"There are also those businessmen who smuggle arms and various taboo items. Their good days are coming to an end soon!"
Having said this, Imu retracted his gaze and raised his head slightly to reveal his dark red rippled eyes, and said to himself, "Do you kill three birds with one stone? What a good trick!"
"The targets of Lord Im, Akira are not... not just people like New World!"
The maid hesitated and said, "He also proposed a transformation plan at the meeting, planning to contract a hotel in Sabaody Archipelago and inviting Celestial Dragons from Holy Land to attend."
"Transformation plan?" Imu frowned slightly, "What transformation plan!"
The maid quickly shook her head. "We don't know yet."
Imu pondered for a moment and decisively ordered, "Let Gunko go to Marine Headquarters, I want to know what this plan is!"
"Yes!"
The maid did not dare to neglect, and immediately stood up and left Flower Chamber quickly.
As soon as she walked out of Flower Chamber, the maid saw Gunko, Shamrock and two other Knights of God members walking towards her.
Seeing this, the maid looked happy and quickly ran forward to stop Gunko.
"Let me go again Marine Headquarters?"
Hearing Lord Im once again ordered her to go to Marine Headquarters, Gunko, who had had a painful experience, reflexively widened her eyes. But immediately, realizing that she had lost her composure, she quickly bowed and said, "I'll be there right now!"
Saying that, Gunko did not avoid everyone, and immediately used the teleportation array to prepare to set off.
Unexpectedly, Gunko dared to use the teleportation array to go to Marine Headquarters. The long-haired woman standing next to Shamrock reminded with lingering fear, "Gunko, are you sure you want to go to Marine Headquarters through the teleportation array?"
"What's wrong?" Gunko blinked, "Isn't everything settled now? Now that Akira has obtained everything he wanted, he should not attack me again!"
"Yes." The long-haired woman nodded, but still warned uneasily, "When you meet Akira, be a little more respectful. After all, he is not only Navy Marshal now, but also enjoys the same privileges as Five Elders!"
"I know how to do it!" Gunko didn't waste any more time and activated the teleportation array after saying these words.
Following a burst of flame clouds and invisible energy, Gunko disappeared in an instant along with the teleportation array.
"Yeah~"
Just as the teleportation array disappeared, a vague "scream" suddenly sounded in the ears of the long-haired woman, Shamrock and others, causing several people to subconsciously look around. When they saw no one around, they all thought they had an illusion and shook their heads and left the place.
Not long after the few people walked out, there was a sudden wave of breath coming from high in the sky.
Immediately afterwards, a figure quickly enlarged in their pupils.
"????"
"!!!!!"
Almost at the same time, the long-haired girl and Shamrock had questions on their heads, and the other opened his eyes unprepared, and both looked at the figure falling from the sky at high speed.
"Were you knocked back again?"
"What's going on!"
Before the long-haired woman and Shamrock finished speaking, Gunko, who fell from the sky, learned from the past and tried to release Devil Fruit ability after her body was about to fall to the ground. However, due to the suppression of Conqueror's Haki, she was unable to release Devil Fruit ability in the air, and could only watch the ground expand infinitely in her pupils.
Boom--
Amidst the deafening noise, a large human-shaped pit suddenly appeared.
In the pit, Gunko stared at the sky with blank eyes, his face filled with despair.
"Gunko, this, this, this... what on earth is going on!"
The long-haired woman was the first to react, and she suddenly came to the pit and picked up Gunko. She stuttered and said, "It can't be such a coincidence. You just met Akira squatting over there? Isn't he Marshal? Why... why are you so idle!"
"He... didn't stay down."
Gunko's eyes were still blank, and he said with a dull expression, "He placed two seals at the marked transfer point. In the seals... there is Conqueror's Haki that he stored!"
Hearing this, the long-haired girl couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
As a member of Knights of God and having participated in God Valley Incident thirty-two years ago, what kind of strong person has she not seen? You must know that in God Valley Incident back then, the strong people who participated were the top beings at that time, and some of them are still active in Grand Line today, and they are terrifying existences that countless pirates have turned pale after hearing.
If Akira stored Conqueror's Haki in the vessel, she would be able to understand it a little bit. After all, she has heard of such operations.
But using a note to store Conqueror's Haki is really hard for her to understand. This is completely out of line!
Gunko, who came back with a slight breath, stood up from the arms of the long-haired girl, "Can you two please send me to Sabaody Archipelago, my legs are... somewhat... weak~"
At the same time.
Marine Headquarters, because Headquarters Building suddenly Haki was everywhere, mixed with a "scream", and officers and soldiers at all levels in their respective posts were attracted.
But when they looked up, they saw that on the Headquarters Building rooftop that was suddenly shrouded in flames, a figure inexplicably shot straight into the sky and disappeared in the blink of an eye, as if it had never appeared before.
Akira, who had just returned home, immediately raised his head because the seal he had injected into Conqueror's Haki on the rooftop was triggered.
Mihawk, who was sitting in the yard with his legs crossed, also raised his head for the first time and asked, "Someone just broke into the headquarters?"
Akira nodded. "Some unlucky guy must have stepped on the mine I buried there and was blown away!"
