"Controlling brain nerves? What an amazing ability!" Upon hearing Tianqi's explanation, Ryūta Ryōma was also slightly surprised. He was very curious about where Tianqi got these strange abilities.
Just as the group was about to be attacked, Akainu used his full strength to injure Kizaru. Kizaru, who was under control, was unable to exert his full power, so it was normal for him to be injured by Akainu. The pain also helped Kizaru break free from the genjutsu that was controlling him.
"Cough cough cough, what's going on?" Kizaru coughed up two mouthfuls of blood and looked around in confusion.
"You bastard, you still have the nerve to say that? You just sank one of our warships and then attacked like a madman. What's wrong with you?" Seeing that Kizaru's eyes were no longer empty, Akainu asked with a dark look.
"I don't know! I was just fighting the enemy when suddenly the scenery changed and I was here. Oh right, it seems like Uchiha Tenki did something to me. Damn it, I've been tricked this time!" Realizing that Uchiha Tenki might have done something to him, Kizaru was also furious.
Hearing Kizaru's words, Akainu also looked like he knew it was true. He knew it was Uchiha Tenchi who was behind it. Otherwise, why would Kizaru, that two-faced guy, really want to fight him head-on? However, this method of controlling people is really powerful. Uchiha Tenchi has shown a strange power again, which is not a good thing for the Navy.
"Hmm!!" Before Kizaru and Akainu could exchange more than a few words, a powerful suction force suddenly lifted them up and sent them flying toward Uchiha Tenki.
"You dare come to the Kingdom of Women to capture me? Do you think I should kill you two?" Tian Qi said coldly, his hands gripping the two men's necks.
The Navy's audacity has successfully angered Tianqi. If they don't kill two admirals today, the Navy will never know what fear is. Akainu and Kizaru have great prestige in the Navy, so taking them down is the best choice. Therefore...
"For the sake of the Navy's justice, I have long been prepared to die. Don't even think about making me beg for mercy from you pirates. Do whatever you want with me!" With his life in Tianqi's hands, Akainu showed no fear whatsoever and remained as stubborn as ever.
"No, no, no, don't listen! Uchiha Tenchi, you can't kill us! We are Marine Admirals! If you kill us, the relationship between the pirate crew and the Marines will be irreconcilable! Don't be impulsive! Let's talk this out!" Unlike Akainu, Kizaru was talking about the relationship between the Marines and the pirates, acting like a wise man who knows when to yield, but in reality, he was just a coward.
"You think you can intimidate me with the navy when you're about to die? Do you think I'm afraid of your navy?" Tian Qi said coldly, showing no fear of the so-called navy. Human wave tactics were meaningless to him.
Seeing that Uchiha Tenchi remained unmoved, Kizaru quickly changed the subject to the others. He said in a hoarse voice, "Killing two Marine Admirals, I believe you, as a strongman, should understand the consequences. Your strength is so great that the Marines can't do anything to you, but you should think about the people around you and the people on the territory you protect. They don't have your strength. If the Marines start a full-scale war, those without strength will be finished. Do you want to see so many innocent people die tragically?"
Tianqi frowned upon hearing this. He had to admit that although Kizaru's words sounded a bit harsh, they made a lot of sense. He would leave this place one day, and he would leave without a second thought, but his crew would probably have a hard time doing so.
"Hmph! Don't even think about using us to threaten the captain. I'm not afraid of the Navy, so the captain doesn't need to worry about us!" Shanks snorted coldly. With his strength constantly increasing, he was no longer willing to hold Tianqi back.
“That’s right! Captain, you don’t need to worry about us. After killing the Admiral, our pirate crew will conquer anyone!” Beckman and his crew echoed. Only Ryūta Ryūma remained silent. Provoking the Navy into a full-scale war was clearly not the right choice.
Tianqi, who had been somewhat hesitant, seemed to have made a decision after hearing what Shanks and the others said. Just as he was about to speak, Akainu suddenly barked again.
"Hehe, even the arrogant Uchiha Tenchi hesitated. It seems you still don't have the courage to wage a full-scale war against the Navy. In the face of justice, you evil pirate have finally lost out, hahaha..." Akainu laughed like a madman.
"Shut up, Akainu!" Kizaru quickly interrupted Akainu, who was still talking nonsense.
Uchiha Tenchi was about to give in, but Akainu's careless remarks completely changed Uchiha Tenchi's expression. This was definitely a terrible teammate. If you want to die, don't drag me down with you. What a rip-off.
"I'm not ready for a full-scale war with the Navy yet, but do you really think I wouldn't dare kill you?" Tenki's killing intent surged forth. He had already decided to kill Akainu. He hated this guy who was all talk and no action and had no real strength.
"You'd better kill me, or I, Sakazuki, will never yield to you evil pirates as long as I live!" Akainu continued his defiant taunts.
"Since that's the case, then you can die!" Tian Qi was about to crush the ant to death.
"No, no, no, don't be impulsive..." Kizaru kept trying to persuade Tianqi. He hadn't lived enough yet and didn't want to die like this now.
Just as Tianqi was about to use his power of time to crush Akainu, an immense pressure suddenly descended. Everyone except Tianqi was forced to their knees by this force, and those with weaker strength were forced to lie directly on the ground.
"Such a powerful pressure, what is this?" Feeling as if a thousand pounds were weighing on his body, Tian Qi frowned. In this world, only the person who was worshipped as a god had such power.
"Lord Uchiha, could you please grant me the honor of letting these Marines go for now?"
The loud noise was like a thunderclap. Tian Qi frowned as he heard it. He glanced at Shanks and the others around him, who seemed not to have heard it. His brows furrowed even more. It has to be said that this method was really somewhat like that of a god.
"I really didn't expect you to go to such lengths for a bunch of ants. But why do you think I'd give you that kind of face?" Tian Qi said calmly, his eyes narrowed.
In fact, they were all sweating profusely, and they were completely baffled as they watched Tianqi talking to himself, not knowing who he was talking to.
"These trash are not worthy of my attention. The only reason I spoke up today was to let you know I exist, but judging from your expression, you seem to have known I was already here!"
"Hmph, my eyes can see things that others cannot. Your existence is no secret to me. I'll say it again: if I want to kill Akainu, no one can stop me!" Even knowing that it was the King of the World, Im, who had arrived, Tianqi still showed him no respect.
"Heh, I haven't seen such an arrogant person in hundreds of years. I just don't know if your words match your strength!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the oppressive aura emanating from Shanks and the others vanished, while the oppressive aura emanating from Tian Qi continued to intensify.
Tianqi looked at the deck beneath his feet, which was denting, and his expression immediately turned serious. His pressure almost solidified into reality. This method was indeed very powerful. He immediately released Akainu and Kizaru, who were no match for the two admirals, Im.
"Shanks, lead everyone off this warship!"
"Huh? Oh, okay!" Shanks was also confused, but seeing the captain's grim expression, he didn't say anything and led Beckman and the others away from the warship.
"Heh, so you finally couldn't withstand the pressure and bowed down to the righteous Navy, huh? Uchiha Tenki, you're nothing but... Ah!" Before Akainu could finish his smug words, a bolt of lightning struck him from the sky, knocking him unconscious.
"This..." Seeing the sudden lightning strike that sent Akainu flying, Kizaru stared wide-eyed at Uchiha Tenki. He thought it was Tenki's doing, but the voice that suddenly appeared the next second dispelled his idea.
"A bunch of trash, you have no strength but dare to talk big. Kizaru, take Akainu and get back to headquarters. I'll deal with you two later!"
"Who? Who is it? Who is it?" Kizaru looked left and right, but couldn't see the speaker at all. For a moment, he thought he was seeing a ghost.
"What are you all standing there for? Get back to headquarters now! Do you want me to personally wipe you out?!"
Upon hearing this, Kizaru didn't say a word. He immediately took the unconscious Akainu, jumped onto a warship, and ordered his subordinates to sail away without looking back. Except for the warship under Tianqi's feet, the other warships followed Kizaru and fled the area.
"Since Lord Uchiha is willing to release my subordinates, it means we can still sit down and talk. How about trying to cooperate with me?"
Tianqi didn't reply immediately. Instead, he activated his White Eye and looked up at the place where the lightning was striking from the sky. He didn't sense any powerful figures around him, so he could only look up to see if Im was hiding high in the sky.
However, what he saw made Tianqi frown even more, because he couldn't see anything or anyone through his far-sighted ability with his White Eye. Tianqi's White Eye could see to the end of the sky, but now he couldn't see anything, which was very unsettling. Could it be that Im really is a true god? No, that's impossible. There must be something I haven't discovered.
"If you want to discuss cooperation, you can't just ignore me by not showing up!" As he spoke, Tian Qi continuously extended his senses, staring intently at his surroundings, trying to see where Im would emerge from.
"I cannot appear in person right now. I am transmitting my voice through special means. And if you want to discuss cooperation with me, I will first test whether you have the ability to do so!"
As Im finished speaking, a massive burst of energy pierced through the clouds and surged towards Tianqi.
Seeing this immense power, Tian Qi immediately mobilized his power of time to form a time barrier above his head. However, this terrifying power still slammed Tian Qi into the sea. As for the warship beneath Tian Qi's feet, it broke in two and fell silent. Tian Qi was thus pushed into the deep sea by this power.
