Just when everyone was at a loss, Uya, who had been standing with his hands behind his back, seemingly indifferent to everything, suddenly spoke up.
Uya glanced at Akainu calmly and said, "From what you're saying, it seems you're very qualified to be a Marine."
"Certainly!"
A cold, arrogant look appeared on Akainu's face as he said, "Since joining the Navy, I have accumulated countless merits, capturing and killing countless pirates, and have always upheld the Navy's justice on this sea!"
Hearing Akainu's words, Uya suddenly smiled, a hint of mockery in his smile, and said, "From what you're saying, you think you can suppress all the pirates on this sea all by yourself?"
These words immediately made Akainu's expression turn slightly ugly, but he still let out a heavy snort and said, "One day, I will suppress all the pirates on this sea and bring the Navy's justice to every corner of this world!"
"Besides, although I haven't succeeded yet, I've been trying my best. But what about you? Have you done anything to uphold justice or enhance the navy's prestige?"
Akainu's first words drew nods of approval and respect from many of the Marines present, but his next words drew all eyes to Uya.
Indeed, Akainu is right. After joining the Navy, Uya did nothing. A little over a month is neither a long nor a short time.
"Hey."
However, under so many gazes, Uya suddenly smiled.
This laugh left everyone completely bewildered and baffled.
The next instant, Uya stopped laughing, suddenly turned to look at the group of Marines, and said, " Ain, step forward."
"Sir."
Under Uya's gaze, Ain took a deep breath and stepped out from the crowd. The entire Marine Headquarters was shaken, and she naturally came to the plaza upon hearing the news.
Upon receiving Uya's summons, although she didn't know what Uya wanted to do, she hesitated for a moment before walking out.
Sengoku, Akainu, and the others all wore strange expressions, wondering why Uya had called out his adjutant. The other vice admirals were equally puzzled.
Just then, Uya looked at Ain who had come out and casually asked, " Ain, who are the strongest pirates on this sea?"
"The most powerful pirate..." Ain was also a little surprised that Uya would ask such a well-known question, but he still answered respectfully.
"The most powerful pirates are generally considered to be the four great pirate crews of the New World, known as the Four Emperors: the Whitebeard Pirates, the Beasts Pirates, the Big Mom Pirates, and the Red Hair Pirates."
" The Four Emperors ' pirate crews rule the latter half of the Grand Line, forming independent power groups that make it difficult for the Navy to operate in the New World. Currently, they are struggling to resolve this complex situation of fragmented power in the New World."
Ain rattled off all the information that was common knowledge within the Navy, then blinked and looked at Uya.
After she finished speaking, a vague idea suddenly came to her mind, one that she dared not think about. However, this idea grew stronger and stronger, and an expression of disbelief gradually appeared in her watery eyes.
Similarly, before Ain said those words, no one thought anything of it and all had strange expressions on their faces, but after Ain finished speaking, everyone's expressions paused for a moment.
Even Sengoku and the others were somewhat taken aback, their eyes showing a hint of disbelief as they looked at Uya.
Could it be that...
"Very well, then go prepare the ship, we'll set sail now." Uya stood there calmly, saying in a very light tone, "Come with me to pay a visit to... the so-called Four Emperors on this vast sea!"
boom!!
A seemingly casual remark, yet it was like a massive bomb exploding around everyone, leaving countless people with ringing eardrums and unable to believe their ears!
The entire room fell silent.
At that moment, all the navy personnel looked at each other in disbelief, their eyes wide with astonishment.
What... did they just hear?!
Can someone tell them if they just misheard?!
Visiting the Four Emperors?
Is this madness, or a death wish?!
Even the three admirals— Aokiji Akainu, Kizaru, and Akainu—as well as Sengoku and Garp, were deeply shaken by Uya's words, and almost all of them stared wide-eyed at Uya.
Shocked, Aokiji's eyes flashed with astonishment, his expression somewhat bewildered. "Arara, this must be... a joke, right?!"
"Visiting Four Emperors, how terrifying! It can't be real, right!" Kizaru couldn't be sly this time either, and his face was also full of astonishment.
"Hey! Uya, are you serious?" Garp looked at Uya, took a deep breath, and his expression became extremely serious.
Uya didn't speak, but merely glanced at the three admirals in the arena, lingering particularly long on Akainu.
Then, Uya turned his head to look at Ain, who was still frozen in place, unable to react, because of what he had just said.
After hearing Uya's words, Ain froze, as if Petrification. She even wondered if there was something wrong with her ears.
Visiting the Four Emperors!
What does this even mean?!
Moreover, judging from Uya's words, he wasn't going to cause trouble for just one of the Four Emperors, but rather to pay a visit to each of the four Four Emperors who reign over the seas!
Even a Marine Admiral would never dare to say such a thing so casually. For a Marine Admiral to venture into the territory of Four Emperors pirate crew alone would most likely be courting death!
The entire Navy tries its best to avoid conflict with the Four Emperors' pirate crews. Even when conflicts do occur, it's only when the Navy has no choice but to intervene, and even then, it's usually ineffective and has no impact on the Four Emperors' pirate crews.
Even if the three admirals were to go out together, they might not be able to defeat the Four Emperors' pirate crew. Moreover, this would leave their rear defenses vulnerable. If a Kaido of the Beasts were to launch another attack on Marine Headquarters, it would be a huge problem.
But now, Uya is going to face the Four Emperors' pirate crew all by himself!
Either someone is insane, or they have absolute confidence in their abilities to dare to say something like that!
After gradually regaining her senses, Ain wanted to dissuade Uya from acting impulsively, but then she thought of how Uya Uya ignored her time reversal, how he had once exuded an aura that seemed to be above everything, and how he could greatly enhance her physical strength with Uya of his hand.
Ain couldn't bring herself to say anything to dissuade her.
Finally, she gritted her teeth and asked Uya, "What class of warship do you need, a large or a medium-sized one?"
"Casual."
"I understand, sir."
Ain took a deep breath, a determined look in her eyes. After bowing to Uya, she turned and rushed into the crowd, disappearing from sight.
What remained were pairs of astonished, wide-eyed eyes filled with disbelief...
The entire room fell silent.
Even now, some people still haven't reacted, and even those who have reacted look at Uya with almost incredulous eyes, as if they're looking at a madman. (To be continued.)
