Sengoku released his hand, leaned back in his chair, and said, It's hard to say. According to what you said, the Red Hair Pirates' strength is very strong even in the New World.
In addition, they have a captain with great potential. As long as they seize the opportunity, there's a great chance that they'll climb to the Four Emperor position.
At that time, a young Four Emperor, his threat will probably be even greater.
Although Shanks hadn't done anything yet, what kind of person was Sengoku? He analyzed all kinds of situations at once, and then said the situation that he thought was most likely.
Especially knowing that Shanks was a member of the Roger Pirates, the ominous premonition in his heart became even stronger.
We absolutely can't let them reach the New World safely. Sakazuki, Borsalino, the two of you immediately mobilize all the intelligence, and find the Red Hair Pirates for me.
Once you find them, use all the power you can mobilize to stop them from going to the New World.
Remember, I don't care about the others. Red Hair Shanks must be eliminated. Sengoku loudly instructed Akainu and Kizaru.
Akainu and Kizaru both nodded. However, Akainu asked again, "Are we not going to care about that brat who calls himself 'Shinigami'?"
As soon as he heard the title 'Shinigami,' Sengoku's head hurt even more. He really didn't like this title.
He always felt that it was mocking their Navy. However, it had already been publicized, and he couldn't change it.
We don't need to care about him for the time being. Although he's also a potential threat, the Red Hair Pirates are more dangerous right now.
I've already had Kuzan gather the Navy branches in the New World together.
Whitebeard isn't as crazy anymore, so I'll bring Kuzan back as soon as possible, and then let him be responsible for catching that kid. Doesn't he want Kuzan to go? Then I'll grant his wish.
Even Akainu and Kizaru couldn't catch Akira, that slippery teenager. If he sent ordinary Navy Vice Admirals to catch him, the chances would be even more slim.
So Sengoku could only transfer Aokiji back. Although he didn't know why Akira had to specifically name Aokiji, he had confidence in Aokiji.
Compared to catching people, Aokiji was more handy than Akainu and Kizaru.
Akainu nodded, and didn't say anything more.
Although he felt a bit sorry that he couldn't personally go to catch Akira, he could tell the urgency of the current situation.
The Red Hair Pirates had already been building momentum. They had to give the Red Hair Pirates a head-on blow.
Otherwise, if they reached the New World, they would definitely stir up trouble, and they wouldn't be able to control them at that time.
"Aunt, I'm back."
Pushing the door open and entering the bar, Akira shouted out directly.
"You brat, you still dare to come back? And you're shouting so loudly. Are you afraid that others won't hear you?"
Akira and Shanks had just entered the bar when they were greeted by a dissatisfied cold shout.
He only saw a tall woman standing in front of the bar, smoking a cigarette, and staring at Akira fiercely.
Akira smiled awkwardly, and said, "I'm just happy. Aunt Sha, there are other people here. Save me some face."
Shakky snorted coldly, and said, "You brat caused such a big trouble. Fortunately, others don't know that you left from here. Otherwise, the Navy would have broken through this place. Now, you actually dare to come back here so openly? Are you treating everyone else as blind?"
Akira said in a low voice, "Aunt Sha, don't worry. I'm not an idiot. No one discovered me when I came back."
"Alright, don't say so much. It's fine if you come back, but why are you bringing people?" Only then did Shakky look at Shanks.
Shanks touched his nose a bit dejectedly. He felt that his presence was really too low. He had been in here for so long, but he had only been discovered now.
"Who's this kid?" Shakky asked.
Akira said, "Aunt Sha, this is an old friend of mine. I brought him here because I want to see Uncle Rayleigh."
"See that old thing? Who is this kid?" Shakky's expression was surprised when she heard Akira actually say Rayleigh.
Akira said, "He's Shanks. He used to be a member of the Roger Pirates' pirate crew, just like Uncle Rayleigh. I was being chased by the Navy, and he helped me. So I brought him to see Uncle Rayleigh. Is Uncle Rayleigh here?"
Shakky said unhappily, "You brat really know how to repay favors. It just so happens that that old thing just came back yesterday. I'll tell him. But whether he sees you or not has nothing to do with me."
"Then thank you very much, Aunt Sha." Akira said happily. He himself also wanted to see Rayleigh very much.
Shanks on the side also said a few words of gratitude to Shakky happily.
Shakky said to Akira, "Go help me close the door. What business are you doing after coming to my place? I'll go call that old thing. You guys wait here." Saying that, she walked into the back door of the bar.
After Shakky left, Shanks asked Akira with a face full of curiosity, "Akira, who is this?"
Akira chuckled, and said, "Don't underestimate this Aunt Sha. She used to be a great pirate who roamed the sea. Now, she's even Uncle Rayleigh's lover. This place is opened by her and Uncle Rayleigh."
Shanks' eyes immediately widened. He had never expected that such a woman who didn't seem very big would actually be Rayleigh's lover.
He also hadn't expected that Rayleigh would choose to hide on the Sabaody Archipelago, a place so close to the Navy Headquarters, after leaving.
Not long after Akira closed the door, Shakky reappeared, and she wasn't alone. There was also a person following behind her.
"Vice-Captain!"
As soon as he saw the man behind Shakky, Shanks stood up with an excited expression. Akira also called out very happily, "Uncle Rayleigh."
"Hahaha, so it's Shanks and Akira, kid. I was wondering why this woman was messing up my sleep. So it was you two brats who came." Rayleigh looked at Akira and Shanks with sleepy eyes, and shouted with a hearty laugh.
Seeing Akira and Shanks, Rayleigh's spirits immediately came. He said to Akira with a smile, Akira, kid, I didn't have a chance to see you last time you came.
It wasn't until you caused such a big commotion that I knew you had actually been here. But you kid are really bold enough.
You actually dare to come back to the Sabaody Archipelago. Don't you know that those Celestial Dragons can't wait to cut you into a thousand pieces?
Akira laughed, and said, "You have to wait until they catch me. You're also hiding under the Navy's nose, old man. Why don't I see you say you're afraid of being exposed?"
"Hahaha."
Rayleigh couldn't help but laugh heartily. He admired Akira's personality of being able to joke with him without any scruples.
What you did with the Celestial Dragons last time was indeed a bit exaggerated. You actually forced the Celestial Dragon to kneel.
You're the first person to do that in hundreds of years. Although it was a bit impulsive, I really admire your actions.
You don't know how many people want to do the same as you, but they don't have the guts.
Shakky on the side scolded without any politeness, Admire my ass. Fortunately, he didn't expose his relationship with me.
Otherwise, would my shop still be able to open? Only a stupid idiot like him would do that kind of thing.
Akira said dejectedly, "Aunt Sha, can you not always blow me?"
Shakky said coldly, "I'm just washing your brain to make you sober. Pay attention to your actions next time."
...
Akira really had no way to deal with Shakky. Although this woman's mouth was very venomous, she was really good to him.
After joking around for a while, Rayleigh asked Shanks, "Shanks, how did you get mixed up with Akira?"
Shanks replied, "It's like this. Akira was being chased by the Navy, and met me on the way. So he said he wanted to bring me to see Vice-Captain you."
Rayleigh said with relief, So you saved Akira. I was wondering how Akira could have returned here in such a short time.
I heard that Sengoku sent Akainu and Kizaru, two Navy Admirals. Your Aunt Sha was looking for your location everywhere a while ago.
Shakky said coldly, "I wanted to find his corpse to collect it for him."
Rayleigh said, "I haven't heard from you for several years, Shanks. Where have you been these past few years? Also, what about Buggy? Why isn't he with you?"
Shanks said, "Vice-Captain, I've been in the East Blue these past few years. As for Buggy, we separated after Loguetown. So I also don't know where he is now, and how he's doing."
"Are you still a pirate now?" Rayleigh asked.
