"Neptune, who is that young man?" Queen Otohime asked Neptune in a low voice.
Neptune had also been staring at Akira Stone. Hearing his wife's question, he shook his head and said, I don't know.
When did such a young man appear in the Whitebeard Pirates? Even Jozu and Thatch are listening to him?
The most famous people in the Whitebeard Pirates were naturally Whitebeard, and then the dozen or so commander-level powerhouses under his command, and then the captains of the major pirate groups, all of whom were well-known figures.
However, Akira Stone had never appeared again after the Loguetown incident. So much time was enough for people to forget his existence.
"So what if it's the Whitebeard Pirates? You think you can make us retreat with just a few words, brat? Do you think you're Whitebeard?"
After a brief silence, the alliance formed by the pirates all looked at Akira Stone with disdain. There were so many of them.
If they were told to retreat by Akira Stone with just a few words, what face would they have left?
What's more, they had joined forces this time, and there were huge benefits to be gained. How could they easily give up?
"That's right, so what if it's the Whitebeard Pirates? They're not invincible in the New World either. Why should we be afraid of them?"
"You want to make us leave with just two commanders and dozens of people? It's not that simple."
"The Whitebeard Pirates actually let a brat call the shots. I see that the Whitebeard Pirates are nothing more than that."
"That's right, why should we be afraid of that Whitebeard? With so many of us joining forces, what if Whitebeard himself comes?"
...
The pirate alliance let out roars of anger. These pirates were already lawless people. Now that Whitebeard hadn't come in person, they weren't afraid at all, and didn't give Akira Stone and the others any face.
The scolding was endless, and each wave was more unpleasant than the last.
Not only them, but even the people watching the excitement from afar were laughing and saying, Could it be that the Whitebeard Pirates have run out of people?
They actually sent a brat to rescue Fish-Man Island? And they want to bring Fish-Man Island under their command? I wonder what Whitebeard is thinking?
"That's right. Although the Whitebeard Pirates are the number one pirate group in the New World, that's because of Whitebeard's existence. If there was no Whitebeard, what would the Whitebeard Pirates be?"
"The Whitebeard Pirates are really going to miscalculate this time. This group of pirates has gathered together. With just these dozens of people? I'm afraid they can't resist them at all."
Not only the Whitebeard Pirates, but Fish-Man Island is probably going to suffer even more.
However, this pirate alliance is really bold enough to actually join forces to deal with Fish-Man Island. I wonder how they joined forces?
The surrounding discussions and the pirates' roars all made the faces of the people in the Whitebeard Pirates very unsightly.
It was fine if these people were talking about Akira Stone, but they were even talking about Whitebeard. As people of the Whitebeard Pirates, how could they not be angry?
"Friends from the Whitebeard Pirates."
Jinbe, the fish-man, had walked to Akira Stone and the others' side at some point. He said, "I am Jinbe from Fish-Man Island. Thank you for helping us just now."
"Jinbe?" Akira Stone looked at Jinbe seriously, and found that Jinbe's image was very consistent with the image in the manga.
Akira Stone said, "Hello. We were sent by Dad. Don't worry. Now that Fish-Man Island is our Whitebeard Pirates' territory, we will definitely not allow anyone to run wild on Fish-Man Island."
Jinbe didn't recognize Akira Stone, but he didn't dare to be careless. After all, even Jozu and Thatch were letting Akira Stone call the shots, which was enough to show that Akira Stone's position in the Whitebeard Pirates wasn't low.
Thatch asked Jinbe in a low voice, Jinbe, what exactly is going on with this pirate alliance?
If it was just to capture you fish-men, it wouldn't have caused such a big commotion, right?
Jinbe frowned and said, They just captured a large number of fish-men.
It's said that they were going to dedicate them to some big shot, and it seems that there was a generous reward, so they united these famous pirate groups.
However, we don't know the specifics of what's going on. In short, their attitude is very tough.
Jinbe didn't say any useful information. However, it was useless to say these things now. The key was how to repel these pirates and protect Fish-Man Island. This was the most important thing.
"Geoffrey White, are you really not even going to give us Whitebeard Pirates any face?"
Listening to the other side shouting and scolding there, Thatch's face was very unsightly. He asked "Thug" Geoffrey White coldly.
...
Geoffrey White said in a deep voice, Although your Whitebeard Pirates' name is big, we're not afraid of you.
Even if Whitebeard comes here in person today, I'll still say the same thing. Someone wants these fish-men, and we must take them away.
Thatch asked, "Who exactly is it? Who can make all of you gather together and do things for him?"
Geoffrey White said, It's someone we can't afford to offend. Do you know why the Navy hasn't appeared until now?
It's also because of that big shot. And he can give us conditions that we can't refuse. So, even your Whitebeard Pirates can't let us go back empty-handed.
"Someone who can make the Navy listen to orders?" Thatch frowned. There were very few such people. However, for them to have contact with pirates, that was intriguing.
Akira Stone suddenly said, "Thatch, don't talk nonsense with them. Since they're not willing to retreat, then we'll drive them away."
"Hmph, what arrogant words."
Geoffrey White looked at Akira Stone with a gloomy expression, and said, "Brat, I don't know who you are? But you're not qualified to say these words to us."
"Whether I'm qualified or not isn't something you can say. I'm giving you one last chance. Hand over the people, and leave!" Akira Stone shouted.
"Brat, you..."
The people of the pirate alliance all became angry hearing Akira Stone's arrogant and domineering words.
Each of them pointed at Akira Stone and cursed, and those dozen or so pirate captains had even more gloomy expressions, and were full of killing intent.
"So what if it's the Whitebeard Pirates? Brothers, kill them for me."
A pirate captain suddenly erupted with a roar, which immediately caused the pirates of the entire pirate alliance to cheer.
Then, all of them rushed towards Akira Stone and the others with ferocious expressions, not caring about their identity as Whitebeard Pirates at all.
Anyway, their captains weren't afraid, so what did they have to be afraid of?
In an instant, thousands of pirates once again rushed towards the fish-man warriors and Akira Stone and the others.
Seeing this scene, the fish-man warriors also immediately prepared to take action. However, just as they were about to take action, Akira Stone suddenly shouted loudly.
"Everyone, don't move!"
Then, he took a step forward fiercely. The moment his foot landed, an invisible tremor seemed to explode in everyone's hearts.
He only saw Akira Stone's not tall body suddenly seem to have grown taller. A shocking aura emanated from his body, instantly covering the entire battlefield.
All the pirates who were rushing towards Akira Stone were enveloped by Akira Stone's aura.
They suddenly stopped their footsteps, and then one after another fell to the ground quickly, as if they had been hit hard. In just the blink of an eye, almost 80% of the pirates had fallen.
Those dozen or so pirate captains, especially the pirate captains with bounties of over 100 million Berries, such as "Thug" and "Bloody Hand", widened their eyes and looked at Akira Stone in disbelief, struggling to spit out a few words.
"Conqueror's, Conqueror's Haki!"
They had also felt Akira Stone's domineering and unparalleled power. However, their willpower was not something that ordinary pirates could compare with, so they hadn't been stunned by Akira Stone. However, they were still shocked to the point that they couldn't speak.
"The 'qualifications of a king' that are difficult to produce even among millions of people, the possessor of Conqueror's Haki.
This young man actually possesses Conqueror's Haki. No wonder Diamond Jozu and Thatch are taking him as their leader."
Neptune, the king of Fish-Man Island, who was far away, was also startled. Afterwards, he looked at Akira Stone in disbelief.
Before, he had still looked down on Akira Stone a bit. However, at this time, he only had strong shock and disbelief left in his heart.
