Shanks nodded, and said, Yeah, I've also formed my own pirate crew.
I was originally preparing to directly enter the New World this time. I didn't expect to be able to see Vice-Captain you again. I'm really lucky.
Rayleigh said in surprise, "Oh, are you already preparing to enter the New World? I didn't expect you little guys to grow up so fast. We old guys can't keep up with the times anymore."
Shanks said, "Vice-Captain, you're still in your prime."
Rayleigh smiled and shook his head, and said, "I'm old, I'm old."
While Shanks and Rayleigh were chatting there, Akira ran to Shakky's side, and asked in a low voice, "Aunt Sha, do you have any news about those Devil Fruits I asked you to find?"
Shakky said, "I really don't know why you kid wants to find those Devil Fruits. You even give them away after you find them."
She still couldn't understand why Akira wanted to find those Devil Fruits, because Akira couldn't use them at all.
It was like the Yuki Yuki no Mi last time. He had spent so much effort to get it, but in the end, he had taken it to give it away.
However, even if she didn't understand, she still sent people to inquire about the news, and had gotten news.
There's news about the Kilogram Fruit you wanted. The Kilogram Fruit is in the first half of the Grand Line. I've already sent someone to get it.
This Devil Fruit's ability isn't too strong, so it should be relatively easy to get. However, the corresponding reward can't be less.
While Akira was excited, he also said with a wry smile, "Aunt Sha, do we have to calculate so clearly between the two of us?"
However, seeing Shakky's expression, Akira could only surrender, and said, Alright, alright. Write down how much money it is first. I'll pay you back later.
Moreover, I just want that Kilogram Fruit to have some use. I'll return it to you after I'm done using it.
Hearing Akira say this, Shakky became even more curious. She asked again, "Akira, what exactly do you want those Devil Fruits for? Why don't you want them after you're done using them? How do you use them?"
Akira laughed, and said, "This is my secret. Everyone should have their own secrets, right?"
"Whatever you want. But don't be happy too early, kid. Sooner or later, I'll guess your purpose." Shakky said.
Akira just smiled. Of course he knew that Shakky would be able to guess his secret soon, because as more and more of his Zanpakutō were released, and various abilities were revealed, it would be inevitable for people to guess his purpose for wanting Devil Fruits.
Shanks didn't stay on the Sabaody Archipelago for too long, because the Navy had now issued a wanted order.
The Red Hair Pirates had also officially entered the eyes of all forces for the first time. Especially Red Hair Shanks, his fame was even more widespread.
Being a member of the Pirate King Roger's pirate ship was already very remarkable just by that point alone. Not to mention that Shanks' current strength was so powerful.
Because they knew that Shanks and the others hadn't entered the New World yet, the Navy Headquarters was frantically searching for the Red Hair Pirates in the first half of the Grand Line.
Shanks was worried that staying here would bring danger to Rayleigh and the others, so he immediately coated the ship, and then headed to the bottom of the sea, preparing to enter the New World from Fish-Man Island.
Shakky also finally found the Kilogram Fruit after more than ten days, and handed it to Akira. Akira directly used it to activate Zangetsu's Shikai. Thus, he had another Shikai Zanpakutō in his hand.
Kurotsuchi Nemu is Kira Izuru's Zanpakutō in the Soul Society. Kira Izuru is Ichimaru Gin's lieutenant, and his strength is also very good.
Although Kurotsuchi Nemu's power isn't as great as other Zanpakutō, its ability is very outstanding. It can continuously double the weight of what it hits.
As long as it hits a few times, the opponent will definitely not be able to withstand such heavy power.
After getting the Kiro Kiro no Mi, Akira already knew the whereabouts of the Ton Ton no Mi, which was needed to activate Bankai.
He vaguely remembered that the ability user of the Ton-Press Fruit was one of Doflamingo's subordinates.
In this way, Akira knew that he would definitely have several more interactions with Doflamingo, because the Ope Ope no Mi that he wanted also had to be found by Doflamingo.
After using the Kiro Kiro no Mi, Akira returned the Kiro Kiro no Mi to Shakky. This Devil Fruit's ability was average, and it really had no use for him.
After doing all this, Akira was preparing to start his journey again. It had been several months since he had come out of the New World.
Although he had been chased by the Navy many times, Akira could feel his power progressing at a fast speed under this pressure.
This also made him firmly believe that his choice wasn't wrong. So he prepared to continue his voyage and adventure.
Akira and Jeffrey White and his son borrowed a ship from Shakky, and then left the Sabaody Archipelago.
However, this time, they were using a normal small ship, not a pirate ship. So they were walking openly.
After sailing on the sea for a few days, in addition to his usual cultivation, Akira was also guiding Jeffrey Rambo, that kid, in his training.
Although Rambo was still young, he was also training in a decent manner under Akira's guidance.
On this day, Akira and Rambo were continuing to train on the ship, while Jeffrey White was controlling the ship in the control room.
Suddenly, Jeffrey White called out softly, "Akira, come quickly. There seems to be a warship ahead."
"Warship?"
Akira stopped the movements in his hands, and looked towards the front with some curiosity. However, although his eyesight was good, he could only see a small dot.
He walked to the control room, took the binoculars from Jeffrey White's hands, and took a closer look. It was indeed a relatively large warship, and it was coming towards their direction.
"Should we go around it?" Jeffrey White asked Akira.
Akira thought for a moment, and then laughed, and said, Why should we go around it? We haven't taken action for a long time.
Don't forget that we're pirates. Now that the Navy is sending themselves to our door, wouldn't it be too wasteful of God's kindness if we didn't accept it?
Akira and the others had been living relatively boring lives during this period of time.
It was rare to see a warship, so Akira was naturally interested. He was a person who dared to attack Navy branches. How could he be afraid of a Navy warship?
"Move closer!" Akira instructed Jeffrey White.
Jeffrey White smiled wryly. However, he was Akira's subordinate now, so he could only choose to obey. Moreover, it was just a Navy warship.
He felt that their strength didn't need to be worried about at all. So he listened to Akira's words, and sailed towards that warship.
Aokiji had been feeling depressed recently. He had originally been sent by Sengoku to the New World to look for candidates for the Royal Shichibukai.
However, after he arrived there, before he could start taking action, the Whitebeard Pirates' crazy attacks on the Navy branches had happened.
He had no choice but to give up the mission, and gather the remnants of the Navy to fight the Whitebeard Pirates.
Fortunately, the Whitebeard Pirates had only been crazy for a while before returning to calm. Aokiji prepared to continue looking for candidates for the Royal Shichibukai.
However, another thing had happened. The appearance of the Red Hair Pirates had disrupted the Navy's rhythm, forcing Aokiji to return from the New World.
Although Aokiji was a person with a very good temper, his mood wouldn't be good after being tossed back and forth like this.
He brought people back from the New World, and didn't return to the Navy Headquarters directly. Instead, he took a detour to relax.
However, what Aokiji had never expected was that during his warship's voyage, a ship of medium size was actually rushing towards them quickly.
"Admiral Kuzan, there's a ship rushing towards us quickly. We don't know what the situation is."
Someone reported to Aokiji's vice-captain. His vice-captain took a look, and then quickly found Aokiji again, and reported to him.
Aokiji asked with some strangeness, "What ship?"
The vice-captain shook his head, and said, "I don't know. It doesn't look very big. It does seem to be a merchant ship."
"A merchant ship? Would a merchant ship take the initiative to come forward after seeing a warship?" Aokiji asked with a strange expression.
The vice-captain was also puzzled. He shook his head, and said, "No..."
While he was speaking, the warship suddenly shook violently. His and Aokiji's expressions both changed.
As soldiers who had experienced many battles, how could they not know that this was the sound of cannonball attacks?
Could it be that the merchant ship was attacking them? Aokiji and his vice-captain both rushed out quickly.
As soon as Aokiji rushed out, he saw several cannonballs quickly smashing towards them.
Aokiji's expression changed. He quickly flicked his hands, and instantly, several ice spears formed from ice appeared, and shot towards the cannonballs flying in the air at lightning speed.
They instantly froze those cannonballs, and then fell into the sea.
"Eh?"
Akira, who had been staring at the warship's movements from afar, let out a surprised cry when he saw what had just happened.
If he hadn't seen it wrong just now, that seemed to be Aokiji's Hie Hie no Mi ability, because it seemed that Aokiji was the only one who could generate ice blocks invisibly.
"If it's really him, then it's really easy to come by." A look of surprise appeared on Akira's face.
