Having said that, he left quickly, ignoring Sengoku and Vice Admiral Tsuru.
Watching Akainu's departing back, Sengoku sighed, "Alas, these are truly troubled times. I wonder if Sakazuki can calm down."
Vice Admiral Tsuru said, "That Death God is too capable of causing trouble. He really can't stop for a moment. He just destroyed the Blackbeard Pirates, and he's already fighting with the Big Mom Pirates again. Now, he's even taking action against Dressrosa at this juncture. Is he really not worried at all?"
Sengoku said, "Worried? What do you think he needs to worry about? Big Mom not choosing to take action in the first place has already shown that she doesn't have the determination to start a war. Now that the Whitebeard Pirates are destined to become a Four Emperor, who would dare to provoke them at this time? Alas, although that battle at Marineford killed Whitebeard, from the current situation, it's actually even worse. If it were Whitebeard, he definitely wouldn't mess around like this."
"This is the difference between young people and us old people. They are more aggressive, and fearless. We are too conservative. Moreover, Death God's abilities are indeed very strong. Not only is his strength strong, but his methods are also ruthless. Look at the Whitebeard Pirates after they came into his hands. They have completely changed from their original state of being content with the status quo to being vibrant and reborn." Vice Admiral Tsuru sighed.
At Akira's order, several divisions of the Whitebeard Pirates quickly headed towards Dressrosa. The momentum was very great. Before long, the news that the Whitebeard Pirates were going to attack Dressrosa had already spread throughout the New World.
Hearing this news, some people felt surprised, but some people felt that there was nothing strange about it. Akira was famous for being a domineering and tyrannical person.
He didn't give Big Mom any face at all. Doflamingo dared to be indifferent to his words. Such a result was within reason.
A total of five divisions of the Whitebeard Pirates, all with their men, were coming towards Dressrosa from several directions.
Although only five divisions had come, these five divisions were among the strongest in terms of fighting power among all the divisions of the Whitebeard Pirates. So, the momentum was also extremely terrifying.
With Akira killing Blackbeard, and recently provoking the Big Mom Pirates, causing them not to resist, his fame had greatly increased. Now, he had become a genuine Four Emperor, and the Whitebeard Pirates were naturally also a Four Emperor Pirate Crew.
Although the Whitebeard Pirates had been a Four Emperor Pirate Crew before, that was after all led by Whitebeard. Now, the Whitebeard Pirates were led by Akira.
He had brought the Whitebeard Pirates back to the Four Emperor position at the most difficult time. So, many people admired him very much, and also recognized the strength of the Whitebeard Pirates very much.
At this time, Akira leading five divisions, and personally heading to Dressrosa, in the eyes of ordinary people, this would definitely be able to annihilate the Donquixote Family of Dressrosa in one fell swoop.
Although Doflamingo's Donquixote Family also had a lot of momentum, and was very strong, compared to a Four Emperor, it was simply a small witch seeing a big witch. So, almost no one would think that Doflamingo would be the Whitebeard Pirates' opponent.
The territory of the five divisions of the Whitebeard Pirates was some distance away from Dressrosa. However, they were rushing over at the fastest speed, and they quickly approached Dressrosa.
At this time, Doflamingo in Dressrosa was very anxious. As the largest underground broker in the New World, his intelligence capabilities were naturally top-notch.
He had already received intelligence that five divisions of the Whitebeard Pirates would arrive at their territory at the same time, just this afternoon, and from five directions.
Although Doflamingo was anxious, he still divided his men into five groups in an orderly manner, and blocked them in the sea area leading to Dressrosa from the five divisions of the Whitebeard Pirates.
He was very clear that in order to minimize the losses, he must never let the people of the Whitebeard Pirates attack into Dressrosa.
Dressrosa was his base camp. If the Whitebeard Pirates attacked in, then the losses would definitely be heavy.
So, even if he risked the lives of his subordinates, he couldn't let the Whitebeard Pirates in. He could always find more people, but his territory must not have any mistakes.
"Have you found Death God? Where is he?"
Doflamingo asked Trebol. Although the five divisions of the Whitebeard Pirates were powerful, what he was most worried about was still Akira. Akira's strength was too strong.
He had to accurately know which direction he was attacking from. Otherwise, wherever he appeared, there would be a complete collapse.
Trebol said with a troubled expression, "There's no news of him at all. We don't know where he's hiding specifically. However, all five divisions of the Whitebeard Pirates have raised their flags, but we haven't seen the Moby Dick."
The Moby Dick was Akira's chariot, and represented the face of the Whitebeard Pirates. Now that Akira was already a Four Emperor, he had previously sent a message asking Doflamingo to make compensation.
Doflamingo hadn't done so, so he was going to attack. Since he was going to attack, he naturally had to do it openly and honestly. So, as long as Akira came, he would definitely be on the Moby Dick.
However, the problem was that they hadn't even seen the shadow of the Moby Dick now. Their intelligence personnel who had infiltrated the Whitebeard Pirates' territory had clearly told them that Akira had left on the Moby Dick.
"Could it be?"
Doflamingo suddenly thought of something, and said, "Could it be that he is preparing to imitate the strategy of the Battle of Marineford, and coat the ship to act from the seabed?"
During the Battle of Marineford, the Whitebeard Pirates' strategy of coating the ship to act from the seabed had destroyed the Navy Headquarters' formation in one fell swoop.
Doflamingo was there at the time, so he had seen it very clearly. Now that there was no trace of Akira, he couldn't help but think of this point, and a cold sweat broke out in his heart.
Trebol was also shocked, and said, "The seabed is not like the sea surface. It's easier to explore the sea, but if it's the seabed, wanting to find them is like finding a needle in a haystack."
Doflamingo said in a deep voice, "We have to find them even if it's like finding a needle in a haystack. Immediately send out all the people we can use. We must determine the location of the Moby Dick. Also, have the people from the Navy Headquarters arrived? Have we received a response from the people we sent to contact Kaido?"
Trebol said, "Akainu from the Navy Headquarters has already come in person with his men. Although they moved later, their warships are much more advanced than the Whitebeard Pirates' pirate ships. Even if they can't arrive at the same time as the Whitebeard Pirates, it won't be much later. So, as long as we can stop the Whitebeard Pirates, we will be able to wait for the reinforcements from the Navy Headquarters."
"The people sent to the Beasts Pirates have not responded yet. Because even the people from the Beasts Pirates don't know where Kaido is now. Without Kaido's orders, they don't dare to act on their own."
"Damn it."
Doflamingo roared angrily, "As expected, they are unreliable. When they need us to do things, they appear very quickly. But once we have problems and look for them, they make excuses everywhere. What 'we can't find anyone' is all bullshit. I think they just don't want to come and provide support."
"It shouldn't be, right? After all, we hold the recipe for the artificial Devil Fruits in our hands. Without us, Kaido's Devil Army simply cannot be completed. Kaido should be able to tell the difference between what's important and what's not, right?" Trebol didn't believe that Kaido would give up on them so easily.
Doflamingo took a deep breath, and said, "No matter what's going on, if we get through this difficulty this time, we must keep a trump card when facing Kaido in the future."
Not to mention Doflamingo's precautions, the men and horses of several divisions of the Whitebeard Pirates were all making a big show, and heading towards Dressrosa aggressively.
Moreover, they were also very fast. In the process of their actions, they had already caused a sensation throughout the New World.
On the other side, the Navy Headquarters, which had received the request for support, was also heading towards Dressrosa with dozens of Navy warships under Akainu's leadership.
Akainu's purpose was very simple. Supporting Doflamingo was secondary. What he wanted more was to annihilate Akira there. Because in his opinion, this was an opportunity.
The Whitebeard Pirates hadn't mobilized all their members. Perhaps there was really a chance to kill Akira.
As for what Sengoku and Vice Admiral Tsuru had said to him before leaving, he had already forgotten about it. Because their approach simply didn't match his personality.
The other major forces in the New World were also very surprised and curious about the Whitebeard Pirates' actions. The people of the Big Mom Pirates originally had a lot of opinions on the Whitebeard Pirates because of the Fish-Man Island incident last time.
However, due to many reasons, they couldn't take action. Now, they saw Akira turn around and forget the conflict between them, and go to deal with Doflamingo.
Even Charlotte Linlin was very unhappy with Akira's behavior. Was this guy not putting her in his eyes? Or was he just sure that she wouldn't take action against him? She had already made up her mind to first see to what extent the war in Dressrosa could erupt.
Once the Whitebeard Pirates were caught in a bitter battle, or became passive, she would immediately take action.
As for the Beasts Pirates, because of Kaido of the Beasts' whereabouts being unknown, the people under his command didn't dare to act rashly. They didn't dare to support Doflamingo, nor did they dare to take any action against the Whitebeard Pirates.
They were just watching Dressrosa, and seeing what the final result would be between the Whitebeard Pirates and the Donquixote Family.
On the other hand, Shanks, who was more familiar with Akira, was somewhat strange, "What's going on with that guy Akira? Doesn't he know that Doflamingo is a Shichibukai? Once he takes action against Doflamingo, the Navy Headquarters will definitely not sit idly by. With just a few divisions of his men, he only has one-third of the Whitebeard Pirates' power. It will be difficult for him to take advantage, right?"
"Even if that kid has become a Four Emperor, he hasn't changed that vengeful personality. Doflamingo took action against the Whitebeard Pirates during the Battle of Marineford and the Battle of Sapporo Strait. So, he wants to take revenge," Beckman said.
Those who knew this understood. So, everyone wasn't too surprised by Akira's actions of killing his way to Dressrosa. Because doing so was very much in line with his personality.
"Beckman, do you think that Akira will be able to subdue Doflamingo this time?" Shanks asked Beckman.
Beckman said, "If there is no external help, the Donquixote Family will naturally not be the Whitebeard Pirates' opponent. However, we have already received news that the Navy Headquarters, under Akainu's leadership, has already headed towards Dressrosa at the fastest speed. If there are no accidents, even if Death God takes action this time, it will be difficult to kill Doflamingo."
"However, what I find strange is that that man is also an extremely smart person. Since we can think of it, it's impossible for him not to think of it. But why is he still doing this when he clearly knows that it will be difficult to achieve the goal? They have now become a Four Emperor. There's no need to establish their prestige at all. Even if they destroy the Donquixote group, what benefits will they be able to get?"
Indeed, even if they killed Doflamingo, the Whitebeard Pirates wouldn't get too many benefits. Because Doflamingo was originally the largest underground broker in the New World.
Although he did a lot of business, and had a lot of money, the problem was that even if Doflamingo died, it was impossible for him to hand over this wealth to Akira.
Therefore, from any aspect, this war was not necessary.
However, Beckman frowned, and said hesitantly, "I don't know why, but I always feel that something is wrong. However, I can't say what's wrong..."
Shanks' eyes lit up, and he asked, "You also feel that something is wrong? I also feel that way. Although that guy often does some thankless things, he is after all mature now, and it is impossible for him to be as reckless and arbitrary as before. However, his ideas are too far-fetched, and it's difficult to fathom them."
