Im Appeared and Unleashed His Power
"Controlling brain nerves? What an amazing ability!" Upon hearing Tianqi's explanation, Ryuma of Ryuda was also slightly surprised. He was very curious about where Tianqi got these strange abilities.
Just as Akainu used his full strength to injure Kizaru, the controlled Kizaru was unable to exert his full power, so it was normal for him to be injured by Akainu. The pain also helped Kizaru break free from the Genjutsu controlling him.
"Cough cough cough, what's going on?" Kizaru coughed up two mouthfuls of blood and looked around in confusion.
"You bastard, you still have the nerve to say that? You just sank one of our warships and then attacked like a madman. What's wrong with you?" Seeing that Kizaru's eyes were no longer empty, Akainu asked with a dark look.
"I don't know! I was just fighting the enemy when suddenly the scenery changed and I was here. Oh right, it seems like Uchiha Tianqi did something to me. Damn it, I've been tricked this time!" Realizing that Uchiha Tianqi might have done something to him, Kizaru was also furious.
Hearing Kizaru's words, Akainu also had an "I knew it" look on his face. He knew it was Uchiha Tianqi who was behind it. Otherwise, why would Kizaru, that two-faced guy, really want to fight him head-on? However, this method of controlling people is really powerful. Uchiha Tianqi has once again shown a strange power, which is not a good thing for the Navy.
"Hmm!!" Before Kizaru and Akainu could exchange more than a few words, a powerful suction force suddenly lifted them up and sent them flying towards Uchiha Tianqi.
"You dare come to the Kingdom of Women to capture me? Do you think I should kill you two?" Tianqi said coldly, his hands gripping the two men's necks.
The Navy's audacity has successfully enraged Tianqi. If they don't kill two admirals today, the Navy will never know fear. And since Akainu and Kizaru hold considerable prestige within the Navy, targeting them is the best option. Therefore...
"For the sake of the Navy's justice, I've long been prepared to die. Don't even think about making me beg for mercy from you pirates. Do whatever you want with me!" With his life in Tianqi's hands, Akainu showed no fear whatsoever and remained as stubborn as ever.
"No, no, no, don't listen! Uchiha Tianqi, you can't kill us! We're Marine Admirals! If you kill us, the relationship between the Conqueror Pirates and the Marines will be irreconcilable! Don't be impulsive! Let's talk this out!" Unlike Akainu, Kizaru was talking about the relationship between the Marines and the pirates, acting like a wise man who knows when to yield, but in reality, he was just a coward.
"You think you can intimidate me with the navy when you're about to die? Do you think I'm afraid of your navy?" Tianqi said coldly, showing no fear of the so-called navy. Human wave tactics were meaningless to him.
Seeing that Uchiha Tianqi remained unmoved, Kizaru quickly changed the subject to the others. He said in a hoarse voice, "Killing two Marine Admirals, I believe you, as a powerful figure, should understand the consequences. Your strength is formidable, and the Marines may not be able to deal with you, but you should think about the people around you and the people on the territory you protect. They don't have your strength. If the Marines go to war, those without strength will be finished. Do you want to see so many innocent people die tragically?"
Tianqi frowned upon hearing this. He had to admit that although Kizaru's words sounded a bit harsh, they made a lot of sense. One day he would leave this place, and he would leave without a second thought, but his crew would probably have a harder time.
"Hmph! Don't even think about using us to threaten the captain. I'm not afraid of the Navy, so the captain doesn't need to worry about us!" Shanks snorted coldly. With his strength constantly increasing, he was no longer willing to hold Tianqi back.
"That's right! Captain, don't worry about us. After slaying the Admiral, our Conqueror Pirates anyone!" Beckman and his crew echoed. Only Ryuma of Ryuda remained silent. Provoking the Navy into a full-scale war was clearly not the right choice.
Tianqi, who had been somewhat hesitant, seemed to have made a decision after hearing what Shanks and the others said. Just as he was about to speak, Akainu suddenly barked again.
"Heh heh, even the arrogant Uchiha Tianqi is hesitating. It seems you still don't have the courage to wage a full-scale war against the Navy. In the face of justice, you evil pirate are ultimately at a disadvantage, hahaha..." Akainu laughed wildly, like a madman.
"Shut up, Akainu!" Kizaru quickly interrupted, seeing Akainu still daring to spout nonsense.
Uchiha Tianqi was about to give in, but Akainu talk completely changed Uchiha Tianqi's expression. This was definitely a terrible teammate; if you want to die, don't drag me down with you! What a rip-off!
"I'm not ready for a full-scale war with the Navy yet, but do you really think I wouldn't dare kill you?" Tianqi's killing intent surged forth. He had already decided to kill Akainu; he hated this guy who was all talk and no action and courted death the most.
"You'd better kill me, or I, Sakazuki, will never yield to you evil pirates as long as I live!" Akainu remained defiant and continued his verbal attacks.
"Since that's the case, then you can die!" Tianqi was about to crush the ant to death.
"No, no, no, don't be impulsive..." Kizaru kept trying to persuade Tianqi. He hadn't lived enough yet and didn't want to die like this now.
Just as Tianqi was about to use his Time Force to crush Akainu, an immense pressure suddenly descended. Everyone except Tianqi was forced to their knees by this force, and those with weaker strength were forced to lie directly on the ground.
"Such powerful pressure, what is this?" Feeling as if a thousand pounds were weighing on his body, Tianqi frowned. In this world, only that person who was worshipped as a god could have such power.
"Uchiha, could you do me the honor of letting these marines go for now?"
The deafening sound was like a thunderclap. Tianqi frowned upon hearing it, glancing at Shanks and the others around him, who seemed oblivious. His brows furrowed even more; it had to be said that this method was truly godlike.
"I really didn't expect you to go to such lengths for a bunch of ants. But why do you think I'd give you that kind of face?" Tianqi said calmly, his eyes narrowed.
In fact, everyone was sweating profusely, and they were completely baffled as they watched Tianqi talking to himself, having no idea who he was talking to.
"These trash are not worthy of my attention. The only reason I spoke up today was to let you know I exist, but judging from your expression, you seem to have known I was already here!"
"Hmph, my eyes can see things that others cannot. Your existence is no secret to me. I'll say it again: if I want to kill Akainu, no one can stop me!" Even knowing that the King of the World, Im, had arrived, Tianqi still showed him no respect.
"Heh, I haven't seen such an arrogant person in centuries. I just wonder if your words match your abilities!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the oppressive aura emanating from Shanks and the others vanished, while the oppressive aura emanating from Tianqi continued to intensify.
Tianqi looked at the dented deck beneath his feet and immediately became serious. His oppressive aura almost solidified, a truly formidable technique. He immediately released Akainu and Kizaru, realizing they were no match for the two admirals Im.
"Shanks, lead everyone off this warship!"
"Huh? Oh, okay!" Shanks was also confused, but seeing the captain's grim expression, he didn't say anything and led Beckman and the others away from the warship.
"Heh, so you finally couldn't withstand the pressure and bowed down to the righteous Navy, huh? Akainu Uchiha Tianqi, you're nothing but... Ah!" Before Akainu could finish his smug words, a bolt of lightning struck him, knocking him unconscious.
"This..." Seeing the sudden lightning strike that sent Akainu flying, Kizaru stared wide-eyed at Uchiha Tianqi. He thought it was Tianqi's doing, but the voice that suddenly appeared the next second dispelled his idea.
"A bunch of useless trash, you dare to talk big without any strength! Kizaru, take Akainu and get back to headquarters. I'll deal with you two later!"
"Who? Who is it? Who is it?" Kizaru looked left and right, but couldn't see the speaker at all. For a moment, he thought he was seeing a ghost.
"What are you all standing there for? Get back to headquarters! Do you want me to personally wipe you out?!"
Upon hearing this, Kizaru didn't say a word. He immediately took the unconscious Akainu, jumped onto a warship, and ordered his subordinates to sail away without looking back. Except for the warship under Tianqi's feet, the other warships followed Kizaru and fled the area.
"Since Uchiha is willing to release my subordinates, it means we can still sit down and talk. How about trying to cooperate with me?"
Tianqi didn't reply immediately. Instead, he activated his Byakugan and looked up at the place where the lightning was striking from the sky. He didn't sense any powerful figures around him, so he could only look up to see if Im was hiding high in the sky.
However, what he saw made Tianqi frown even more, because he couldn't see anything or anyone through his Byakugan's far-sighted ability. Tianqi's Byakugan could see to the end of the sky, but now he saw nothing, which was very unsettling. Could it be that Im really was a true god? No, that's impossible. There must be something I haven't discovered.
"If you want to discuss cooperation, you can't just ignore me!" As he spoke, Tianqi continuously extended his senses, his eyes fixed on his surroundings, trying to see where Im would emerge from.
"I cannot appear in person right now. I am transmitting my voice through special means. And if you want to discuss cooperation with me, I'll have to test whether you have the capability!"
Im finished speaking, a massive burst of energy pierced through the clouds and surged towards Tianqi.
Seeing this immense power, Tianqi immediately mobilized his Time Force to form a time barrier above his head. However, this terrifying power still slammed Tianqi into the sea. As for the warship beneath Tianqi's feet, it broke in two and fell silent. Tianqi was thus pushed into the deep sea by this power.
