Charlotte Linlin didn't care so much. If Whitebeard was still alive, she naturally wouldn't dare to mess around like this. But now that Whitebeard was dead, as for Akira, she didn't put him in her eyes at all. Naturally, she wouldn't care about the Whitebeard Pirates either.
Hearing Charlotte Linlin's words, several people immediately walked out, saying that they wanted to take Fish-Man Island.
...
"Boss, the Whitebeard Pirates and the Blackbeard Pirates are about to start a war. They're all on their way to Sapporo. It's estimated that they will reach their destination in not much time. This battle is very likely to be a battle to the death for them. Do we want to go help?"
In the Red Hair Pirates, everyone was also paying more attention to the war between the Whitebeard Pirates and the Blackbeard Pirates, because this wasn't just a battle between two pirate crews.
It would also be a key battle for the birth of the next emperor. More importantly, their captain, Red-Haired Shanks, had a good relationship with the Whitebeard Pirates. Especially, he was a very good friend with Death God.
"Hahaha."
Shanks laughed loudly after hearing this, and said, "This kind of thing isn't up to us to help with. This is their war. All we can do is wait and see. Since Akira dares to make this kind of decision, it means that he's still confident in his heart."
Although he said this, Shanks' heart wasn't as calm as he showed. Instead, he seemed relatively worried, because the Blackbeard Pirates' strength wasn't weak. Moreover, based on his understanding of Akira, Akira was definitely a crazy person. Once he had 30% or 40% certainty in doing something, he would dare to go all out. So, he also didn't know how much chance of winning Akira had this time.
"Beckman, what do you think?" Shanks couldn't help but ask Beckman. This was their pirate crew's strategist.
Beckman said lightly, "It's too early to say who will win or lose. You've fought that Blackbeard guy before. He was already difficult to deal with at that time. Now that he's obtained two very strong Devil Fruits, his strength is even more unfathomable. However, his opponent isn't simple either. The power of Death God is known all over the world. How many people in the world have his current bounty?"
"But if you have to ask me, I still have that sentence: Death God has more of an emperor's demeanor than Blackbeard."
Shanks laughed loudly, "Beckman, I knew you were going to say that. I hope things can really be as you expected."
No matter what the reason was, Shanks naturally hoped that Akira could win. The Whitebeard Pirates becoming a four emperors pirate crew was far more beneficial to the situation in the world than the Blackbeard Pirates becoming a four emperors pirate crew.
"Have the brothers all get ready, and prepare to go to the Sapporo Strait. Although we can't directly help Akira and them, we definitely can't let other forces disrupt the battle," Shanks instructed his subordinates.
In Dressrosa, a large group of pirates set off from the country without anyone knowing, and moved towards the Sapporo Strait. The leader was naturally Doflamingo. He had already reached a consensus with Blackbeard. Now that the Whitebeard Pirates and the Blackbeard Pirates were about to start a war, he naturally couldn't sit idly by. So, he took his subordinates and quickly headed to the Sapporo Strait.
Fish-Man Island.
Jinbe's expression seemed a bit gloomy. Now, Fish-Man Island and the Sun Pirates were still the territory of the Whitebeard Pirates. However, with Whitebeard's death, many pirates no longer cared about the Whitebeard Pirates. They started to constantly invade Fish-Man Island, and constantly capture fish-men to sell.
So, the Sun Pirates led by Jinbe had become the savior of Fish-Man Island. They had been stationed on Fish-Man Island for so long, just to protect the safety of Fish-Man Island. So, even though he knew that the Whitebeard Pirates and the Blackbeard Pirates were about to start a war, he had no way to help Akira and them. He could only pray in his heart.
"Akira, Marco, Ace, I believe that you will definitely be able to successfully defeat the Blackbeard Pirates." World Government's sacred land, Mary Geoise!
"Gorosei-sama, the Whitebeard Pirates and the Blackbeard Pirates have gathered in the Sapporo Strait. It looks like they will have their final battle today."
In a spacious room, the Gorosei, the highest leaders of the World Government, gathered together, listening to the report of their subordinates.
"Is the war starting?"
The old man in the black suit with white curly hair, who had always had his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes. They saw that there was a long scar on his left face. His eyes emitted an astonishing cold light.
The other four old men also had different expressions. These five people were the highest leaders of the World Government, the Gorosei. They had lived in the sacred land Mary Geoise for decades, and were world-class big figures that everyone feared and was afraid of.
"The Whitebeard Pirates, is that the little brat called 'Death God'? More than ten years ago, he stepped on the World Government hard. I didn't expect that he would actually be able to grow to this point."
The old man in the red suit with blond hair and a blond beard said slowly. He still remembered the Mary Geoise slave incident more than ten years ago vividly. Not only him, but the other four people also wouldn't forget it, because that was the first time someone had been able to attack the World Government's sacred land, and do such an earth-shattering thing.
The old man in the white priest robe, who was bald and had glasses, was holding a sword that was very similar to Kitetsu II and Kitetsu III. He opened his mouth, and said, "One of the two people who attacked the sacred land back then, the fish-man called Fisher Tiger, is already dead. That kid was also caught by the Navy ten years ago. However, Sengoku didn't kill him. That's why it turned out like this now."
They also knew about the incident of Akira being captured ten years ago, but at the time, they felt that since he had already been captured, there was no need to pay any more attention, so they had never cared about Akira in Impel Down.
But the Five Elders never expected that this person they had forgotten would actually be able to escape from Impel Down, and also took away the vast majority of the Whitebeard Pirates from the Battle of Marineford.
They had to know that the Battle of Marineford was what they had prepared to completely annihilate the Whitebeard Pirates, and it was because of Akira's appearance, as well as the later appearance of Blackbeard and Red Hair Shanks, that their plan completely failed, and they were naturally very unhappy in their hearts.
"This little brat has come into his own. It's not so easy to deal with him in the New World. And that guy called Blackbeard is also a gloomy bastard. Fortunately, these two are now fighting for the title of Emperor. No matter who wins or loses, it won't have the slightest impact on us, only benefits," said the bald old man wearing a dark green suit with a birthmark on his forehead.
The old man with the sword said, "It can't be calculated like that. The struggle between Death God and Blackbeard is, to us, just pirates slaughtering each other. But if they don't both suffer heavy losses, and instead one side wins, the result might be completely different from what we imagined."
"Are you talking about that final Emperor position?" said the old man in the red suit in a deep voice.
The old man with the sword said, "That's right. If we let either of them become the new Emperor, then it will inevitably set off a huge storm. At that time, the New World will return to its previous state, and it will inevitably be more difficult for Akainu and the others to defeat the pirate forces."
"Akainu and the others haven't taken action, but this is also the best choice. Now the Revolutionary Army is rebelling everywhere, and we don't have any extra forces to invest on a large scale, so we can only leave it to Akainu and the others to solve it themselves. No matter how strong the pirate forces are, they are not enough to shake the rule of our World Government, but the Revolutionary Army is different, so they are the enemy we need to focus on most now."
The old man in the black suit said in a deep voice, and the other four nodded involuntarily at his words. Indeed, the pirate forces were strong, but the problem was that they were not unified. A single Emperor could only rampage in the New World at most, and could not pose much of a threat to the World Government, but the Revolutionary Army was different.
Under Dragon's leadership, they were united, and although their combat power might not be as good as the New World Emperors, their cohesion and threat were far more powerful than the Emperors.
"Let's leave it at that. Let Akainu handle the pirate problem. He should be able to handle it well."
For the Five Elders, although Akira and Blackbeard were both a great threat, as long as they didn't join forces, or the other Emperors joined forces, they couldn't pose a fatal threat to them.
Akira led the Whitebeard Pirates' large-scale forces, and quickly headed towards the Sapporo Strait, and soon arrived at the entrance of the strait.
This time, the Whitebeard Pirates could be said to have launched a full-scale attack, adding up to tens of thousands of pirates. Although it was a little worse than the attack on Navy Headquarters back then, the momentum was extremely amazing, especially since these pirates were all elites, and Akira hadn't brought any of the slightly weaker pirates.
At almost the same time, the Blackbeard Pirates led by Blackbeard also arrived opposite Akira and the others, and the two sides stood on either side of the strait, looking at each other.
Compared to the Whitebeard Pirates, the Blackbeard Pirates had a few more people, about nearly 20,000, because Blackbeard had brought all of his subordinates, preparing to fight Akira with everything he had.
"Zehahaha..." A sharp laugh came from the mountain peak in the strait, and with the wind, the voice became very clear, and even Akira and the others, who were very far away, heard the laugh.
"Akira, that Blackbeard guy has arrived."
Hearing this, Akira and the others knew that Blackbeard had arrived, and Marco said to Akira with a serious face.
Akira nodded, and said, "It seems that he is really very confident, let's go, we'll go meet him."
The Sapporo Strait wasn't very big, and there were a few mountain peaks that were a little taller, and Blackbeard was standing on one of them, while Akira and Marco and the others climbed one of the mountain peaks on this side, because this mountain peak was not only the highest, but it was also the closest to the mountain peak where Blackbeard was, about dozens of zhang away.
As soon as Akira and the others reached the top of the mountain peak, they saw Blackbeard standing opposite them with Laffitte, and after Blackbeard saw Akira, he laughed loudly: "Zehahaha, Akira, long time no see, I heard you've been doing pretty well lately?"
