Facing Akainu's questioning, Sengoku, Zephyr, and the others also tightened their nerves.
They didn't agree with Akainu's way of doing things.
But as Akainu said, this matter was of great importance and couldn't allow for the slightest bit of error.
After all, their Marine Headquarters and the Four Emperors had a default agreement.
If they could defeat Jack the Drought, one of the Three Disasters, without using an admiral,
then for the Marine Headquarters, it would also be turning passivity into initiative.
"Vice Admiral Tsuru, don't tell me that you, as the chief staff officer, took action in private to fix things for Momousagi." Akainu said again.
"Don't forget, we have a default agreement with the Four Emperors. Your actions will lead to a full-scale war between the Four Emperors and the Marine Headquarters."
The rolling words revealed an inexplicable urgency.
In Akainu's eyes, it was rare for something to happen that involved the Four Emperors.
It could not only let Sengoku, Zephyr, and the others know the importance of the admirals,
but once Sengoku also agreed to let an admiral take action, Akainu could also take this opportunity to slightly wash away the defeat he had shouldered during this period of time.
Otherwise, if he wasn't holding these selfish intentions, Akainu wouldn't have rushed here so quickly to act as a messenger.
"Akainu, what nonsense are you talking about? Of course, I know what's important." Tsuru retorted in a deep voice.
"When Vice Admiral Chaton and I arrived, Jack the Drought had already been defeated by Laxus."
"There were many people in the auction house who witnessed this battle with their own eyes. I can confirm that there was no violation of the secret agreement!"
Laxus? Everyone in the field was stunned at once.
Sengoku even grabbed the Den Den Mushi and asked urgently, "Tsuru, are you saying that the person who defeated Jack was Laxus?"
"How would he get involved in this matter?"
"However, if it was him who defeated Jack, then our Marine Headquarters doesn't have to worry about that madman, Kaido, finding an excuse to start a full-scale war afterward."
Speaking of this, Sengoku's tense nerves relaxed slightly, and he said, "To be able to defeat Jack, Laxus indeed has the potential to become an admiral. The most important thing is that he's now just our recruit camp instructor and not a Marine Headquarters admiral."
"With just this identity alone, Kaido can't mess around!"
"Sengoku, you're right. It seems that we all underestimated Laxus. To be able to defeat the thick-skinned Jack, it's hard to find his equal among the vice admirals. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to give him the title of admiral candidate." Zephyr also echoed with a loud laugh.
Watching the situation, which had been subverted all of a sudden, Akainu's face was extremely gloomy.
Without lingering any longer, he turned around and left abruptly.
Originally, he had thought that this was a rare opportunity to take action, but he had never expected that someone would cut him off halfway.
New World! A huge dragon head pirate ship was breaking through the waves and moving forward. The pirate flag, which was hung on the mast, was fluttering in the sea breeze.
On the huge bow deck, there were many figures walking back and forth.
Among them, one was more than ten meters tall, like a giant, giving people a feeling of inexplicable oppression.
Glug glug! The hurried sound of the Den Den Mushi suddenly rang out, breaking the clamor on the deck.
The huge body, which was sitting on a specially made chair, suddenly turned a pair of wide eyes and landed on the Den Den Mushi.
"Hic, who is so untimely to disturb this governor's drinking? Bring my spiked club, I'm going to sink him!"
Along with the hiccup, a drunken and crazy remark was immediately heard.
Listening to this thunderous voice, the officers, who were waiting on the side, tightened their nerves one after another.
Compared to the prestige of the Four Emperors, Kaido's bad drinking habits weren't inferior at all.
"Lord Kaido, it's an urgent Den Den Mushi communication from Lord Jack." An officer checked and reported urgently.
Jack? Kaido stood up suddenly. With each step of his huge body, the entire deck was rumbling.
His muscles, which were like boulders, were covered in mysterious patterns, which were like dragon patterns. The aura that was emitted between his gestures was even more soul-stirring.
"That old boy has been out to sea for a while. Didn't he say that he would find some gifts for my banquet? Why is he suddenly calling me?" Kaido steadied his drunken steps and snatched the Den Den Mushi.
"Hey hey, let Jack come out. Say whatever nonsense you have to say immediately. Don't stop me from drinking."
The huge palm clenched the Den Den Mushi tightly.
Watching this scene, many officers revealed helpless worry on their faces.
Faced with Kaido's huge palm, which was like a millstone, under this drunken state, where he didn't know the severity of his actions, they had already lost count of how many Den Den Mushi had been crushed accidentally.
Right now, Jack was using this urgent Den Den Mushi to contact him, so there was undoubtedly something important.
If the Den Den Mushi was crushed by Kaido, thus delaying important matters, once Kaido woke up from his drunkenness, they wouldn't be able to bear the consequences.
"K, Lord Kaido, something bad has happened. Lord Jack attacked the Marine Headquarters' fleet and captured a hostage, but he was defeated by a Marine personnel, who's of unknown origin. That guy possesses a Zoan-type Mythical type, a Devil Fruit ability user who's suspected to be a Lightning Dragon!"
The urgent and terrified voice came out from inside the Den Den Mushi.
The huge ship deck first fell silent for a moment, and the sound of gasping for cold air was heard the next moment.
As members of the Beast Pirates, they certainly knew how far the strength of the Three Disasters could reach.
However, right now, someone had called and told them that Jack the Drought, who was one of the three strongest combat powers and had a bounty of 1 billion, had actually been defeated.
This was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue.
"You, what did you say?" Kaido's alcohol had sobered up by more than half, and he crushed the wine jar in his hand.
As the wine splattered, his black hair moved without wind, and as the indescribable aura burst out, it stirred the air flow of the entire world.
This had awakened his alcohol! "You're Sheepshead, right? Tell me the whole story clearly. I want to know who's tired of living and dares to attack my people."
The thunderous words were spat out, directly making heaven and earth rumble non-stop.
The moment the last word was spat out, the tyrannical Haoshoku Haki, like a hurricane, shot straight into the sky.
The lead clouds, which had accumulated in the sky, were pierced through in an instant.
The deck under his feet had a feeling of being unable to bear the weight and made a cracking sound.
Feeling this almost berserk scene, the pirates, who were present, couldn't help but take a few steps back subconsciously.
In particular, watching the huge spiked club, which was leaning against the front of the cabin, they revealed a terrified expression.
They clearly knew that Kaido was very protective. But at the same time, when he went crazy, he didn't even spare his own people.
