Due to the sudden intervention of the New Navy in the war, the established plans of the Navy Headquarters also changed accordingly.
Akainu's subordinates received Akainu's orders one after another, and shortly after they received Akainu's orders, Aokiji, as the admiral, ordered the navy to move to Rikojima for a rendezvous.
Although the navy officers at headquarters were worried about Akainu's safety, they had no choice but to obey the order and leave the sea area in a hurry.
After the navy members of the headquarters received orders to leave the sea area one after another, Sakaski looked at the Dawn warship anchored on the sea and no longer had any worries in his heart.
On the deck of the Dawn warship, Yixiao looked at the aggressive Akainu in the air and said to Mihawk beside him:
"Mihawk, I think you know Yoriichi's orders."
"I'm so sorry! I'm afraid you won't be able to enjoy this battle to your heart's content."
"It is our mission to hold back Sakaski, but facing the Admiral, we can only control the situation if we act together."
"If we allow you to fight one on one, the situation will get out of our control."
"so."
Yixiao's tone was full of apology. He knew very well what kind of person Mihawk was. Before taking action, it was necessary to make it clear to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.
Although it is difficult for misunderstandings to arise given their relationship and mutual understanding, it is still necessary to take preventive measures.
"Yixiao, you don't have to tell me so much, I understand."
"Just act in the safest way possible, no need to say anything more."
Mihawk heard Yixiao's words and shook his head slightly, smiling. It was enough for Yixiao to say this to him. He already felt respected from Yixiao's behavior.
It's true that he is a swordsman, and his personality and temperament are more or less tainted with some of the "habits" of a swordsman, but when it comes to the interests of the new navy, he will make some appropriate sacrifices and compromises.
"Bear, we need to change the battlefield for our battle."
"A war with Sakaski at sea might have unforeseen consequences.
"Abel, please go to the warehouse and get some seastone handcuffs. Distribute them to Mihawk and Kuma so we can capture Sakaski."
Yixiao gave the instructions in a deep voice, and just as Yixiao was making arrangements, Sakaski in the air took the lead in attacking.
The crimson molten pillars transformed into blood-red dragons, shooting down directly from the sky. Sakaski changed his "straightforward" attack method. While releasing the molten pillars, he did not lose control of them. Several blood-red dragons twisted their bodies in the air and quickly attacked the warship.
The blood-red dragon in the air quickly formed a flaming net and "covered" the warship directly. Yixiao felt the attacks from all sides, knowing that with his own ability, he could not resist them all. He immediately shouted:
"Bear!"
In fact, there was no need for Yixiao's reminder at all. Xiong had been very wary of Sakaski from the beginning. The moment Sakaski made a move, Xiong realized the other party's intention. When Yixiao shouted, he quickly pressed his palm on the deck of the warship.
"call out!!!"
The flaming net woven by the blood-colored dragon overturned and fell into the sea. The moment the flaming net fell, thick water vapor spread directly on the sea surface.
But this time, Sakaski saw clearly what was happening at sea.
The moment his attack landed, the huge warship and the crew on board disappeared on the sea at a speed that was imperceptible to the naked eye.
At this moment, the aura of Yixiao and others completely disappeared from the perception range of his observation Haki.
His attack missed again.
"Bartholomew Kuma's devil fruit ability?"
"The Meatball Fruit, it turns out it has that kind of effect?!"
In mid-air, Sakaski muttered to himself in a low voice. Even after Yixiao and the others left, he didn't relax at all.
"call out!!"
Sure enough, just a few breaths later, a sound of breaking through the air suddenly came from behind Sakaski, and a familiar breath instantly appeared within Sakaski's perception range.
"clang--"
He quickly turned around and threw a punch behind him. A crisp sound suddenly echoed from the air. Yixiao, wearing a cloak, suddenly appeared behind Sakaski and swung his sword directly at Sakaski's back. However, Sakaski reacted in time and blocked Yixiao's attack with his domineering lava "iron fist".
Sakaski had more or less figured out something about the abilities of the Globose Fruit, so he wasn't surprised that Yixiao would suddenly appear in such a place.
The fist and the knife were in a brief stalemate for a moment, and then Sakaski and Yixiao's figures quickly separated and both flew back.
After the attack, Yixiao flew back and threw the scabbard in his hand casually. The scabbard, which was imbued with the power of the fruit, quickly flew to Yixiao's feet. After flying back dozens of meters, it held Yixiao steadily in the air.
Meanwhile, Sakaski tumbled several times in the air before finally releasing Yixiao's force and regaining his balance with a moonstep. Glancing at Yixiao, who was floating in the air in the distance, Sakaski's face darkened.
Although the Moon Step gave him certain air combat capabilities, fighting an air combat with someone with special abilities like Yixiao was not a wise choice.
Although Yixiao himself has no flying ability, compared with the ability of the Chong Chong Fruit, Yue Bu's disadvantage is more obvious. He has no fulcrum in the air, but Yixiao does. Moreover, from the fight just now, it can be seen that Yixiao's flexibility in the air is obviously better than his.
Thoughts raced through Sakaski's mind, but his hands never stopped attacking. After stabilizing his body, Akainu's lower body turned into lava. The power of the fruit combined with the power of the Moon Step made Sakaski shoot out like a rocket taking off into the sky.
A red molten column streaked across the night sky, and Akainu suddenly flew in front of Yixiao and punched him on the head.
Facing the attack, Yixiao raised his sword to block it, and at the moment when Yixiao raised his sword, Akainu's lava iron fist suddenly exploded, and the molten pillars turned into whips that wrapped around Yixiao's body.
The magma fruit has a strong shaping ability and can bring a lot of convenience to Sakaski in battle.
Akainu used the same trick when facing Mihawk. The opponent had no other way to deal with it except to dodge. At this time, although Yixiao had the ability to float in the air, his maneuverability was not as good as when he was on land. It was almost impossible for him to dodge!
"Gravity Blade—Gravity Command!"
However, just because Mihawk couldn't deal with the attack didn't mean he couldn't deal with it either.
The long sword that was originally intended to block Sakaski's "Iron Fist" suddenly changed direction. Yixiao turned his wrist and pressed the blade downward.
The gravity in the space in front of Yixiao suddenly increased countless times. In just a moment, Sakaski completely lost control of the molten column he released.
Halfway through the attack, it suddenly lost its forward momentum under the influence of gravity and fell rapidly into the sea below.
"!!!" Seeing that his attack was actually blocked by Yixiao in this way, Sakaski's face changed slightly. However, before he could react, Yixiao not far away suddenly raised his head, and two whites appeared in his blind eyes.
Yixiao flipped the long sword in his hand again and slashed at Akainu in the air.
“Buzz!!!”
The next moment, Sakaski felt a terrifying gravity suddenly pressing down on him. No matter how he performed the Moon Steps, he still fell rapidly from the air.
Beneath him is the sea.
“This guy!!”
Sakaski tried to elementalize his body, but the Magma Fruit was somewhat different from the Flame-Flame Fruit. Even if it was elementalized, his body still had a physical existence, and he still couldn't escape the influence of the One Smile Gravity Fruit.
If this was on land, even if affected by Yixiao's ability, Akainu would be able to take root in the ground, withstand the influence of the huge gravity, and quickly escape from the control range of gravity. But unfortunately, this was in mid-air, and relying on the Moon Step, he had no way to resist Yixiao's gravity.
"Bang!!!!"
Sakaski's body fell rapidly from the air and plunged into the sea. The sea water instantly submerged Sakaski. Akainu's body, which had sunk into the sea, had already escaped from the elemental state. The cold sea water made his brain extremely clear.
"It's over."
"I actually lost in this manner."
"It's really ironic!"
Akainu stretched out his limbs, and the feeling of powerlessness from his body made him clearly aware of the situation he was in. Looking at the sea level that was emitting a little light and getting farther and farther away from him, a strong feeling of unwillingness surged in Akainu's mind.
Thinking back to the battle with Mihawk, Issho and others, Akainu felt that his defeat was unfair.
"If it weren't at sea"
"If I were to fight these people on land, there's no way I'd lose!"
“.”
The sea surface was getting farther and farther away, and the scene in front of him became a little darker. As the time of holding breath became longer, a strong feeling of suffocation came along. Akainu's brain, which was originally relatively clear, became increasingly heavy.
For some reason, at this moment, Sakaski began to have wild thoughts.
"My name is Sakaski, and my dream is to completely eliminate pirates from this world!"
Akainu recalled his youth, when he had just entered the Naval Academy. He could not forget the expression on Zephyr's face when he said these words in front of him.
It was a face full of smiles.
Once upon a time, Akainu thought that Zephyr's smile was a happy one, but now that he thinks about it, Zephyr's smile was bitter at that time——
After that, Zefa seemed to say something to himself, but he had already forgotten it.
"Colonel Sakaski, thank you for saving me"
A beautiful girl appeared in Sakaski's mind. When the girl said this, her face was full of smiles. As she spoke, she handed Sakaski a bouquet of roses.
The flower language of rose is "passionate love". The girl's face flushed when she gave the flowers. Looking at the girl in front of him, Sakaski's heart was filled with joy. However, the next second, the girl's image was engulfed by the raging flames, leaving only a baby in the cradle.
Sakaski's face was filled with horror. He opened his mouth to call the girl's name, but the sea water rushed into his lungs.
A flash of images flashed through his mind: a young Sakaski sitting in his office, lost in thought, caressing a newly inked rose and cherry blossom tattoo. The cherry blossom symbolized romance, love, life, and happiness, and he longed to be with his beloved forever.
"Sakaski, Zephyr's family was killed by pirates."
The office door was suddenly pushed open, and the young man Huoshaoshan rushed into the office and yelled at Sakaski.
Hearing this, Sakaski's eyes were filled with murderous intent. Thinking of his lover, he growled hysterically, "Another pirate!!!"
The picture flashed, and Sakaski had become a popular young officer in the navy. However, there were no beautiful pictures in his mind anymore. There were only the hideous faces of the pirates before they died.
until
"Sakaski, tell me, does this make sense?"
"A brat like Yoriichi Tsugikuni could become a navy admiral?"
"Just him?"
In the office, colleagues who had just finished the awarding ceremony gathered in his office and complained.
The young Yoriichi Tsugikuni became the new admiral of the navy. His old companions were indignant that a young man was riding on their heads. These backbones of the navy strongly opposed it.
"He captured the Pirate King Roger and killed the legendary Golden Lion Shiki. His achievements are beyond reproach."
"Well, we're all colleagues, what's there to be angry about?"
"If you want to become a general, wouldn't it be better if everyone just strives for it based on their own abilities?"
"Tsugikoku Yoriichi may be, as the Admiral said, the future of our navy."
Sakaski, who was sitting behind his desk, spoke in a calm and casual tone.
This hawkish meeting ended in a bad mood, but Sakaski did not care about his companions' feelings. He just admired the way Tsugikuni Yoriichi dealt with pirates.
Tsugikoku Yoriichi should be of the same kind as him.
"Tsugumi Yuichi attacks the holy land!"
"Sakaski, Borsalino, Kuzan, you all go to the Holy Land together. No matter what he wants to do, you must stop him!"
The scene flashed, and a loud shout came from behind the desk. Suddenly, Sakaski found himself in a temporary office where an emergency meeting was being held. The three new admirals and a group of senior naval officials were present.
"Tsugikoku Yoshiichi attacks the Holy Land"
After pondering Zhan Guo's words, Sakaski suddenly covered his head and laughed softly for some reason.
The picture flashes.
The holy land is covered with scars.
Yoriichi Tsugikuni really attacked the holy land. Not only that, he also killed many Celestial Dragons and took away the slaves in the holy land.
And after Guo Yuanyi's attack, the darkness buried in the holy ground was revealed to the sunlight.
The plan of Sakaski and other generals to stop them failed, but Sakaski looked at the scene he had never seen in the Holy Land before and couldn't help but mutter to himself:
"Have I been doing this wrong all along?"
At that moment, Sakaski began to doubt himself.
"No, I won't be wrong!"
However, when he thought of his lover, such thoughts were thrown out of his mind. However, the doubt in himself at that moment left a mark on his heart.
“Gurgle—”
In the sea, Sakaski closed his eyes, exhaled the last bubble, and his consciousness fell into a drowsy darkness.
Just as Sakaski was about to die, several figures suddenly swooped down from the depths of the ocean. Cold seastone handcuffs were placed on Sakaski's hands, and a group of fishmen in new navy uniforms grabbed Sakaski and swam rapidly toward the surface.
On the sea, on the deck of the Dawn warship, Yixiao stood in front of the railing, looking at the sea.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, the fishman navy grabbed Sakaski's body and poked his head out of the sea. He swept his observation Haki over the unconscious Sakaski with a smile, a faint smile appeared on his face, then he took out a Den Den Mushi from his arms and dialed the number.
After a long while, the phone was connected, and Yixiao calmly reported:
"General Sakaski has been captured by us."
