These simple words showed Aokiji's amazing domineering aura. Although Aokiji always gave people the feeling that he was relatively lazy and didn't care about anything, being able to reach this point naturally meant that he possessed an arrogance and domineering aura that ordinary people couldn't imagine.
However, Aokiji's domineering aura was an unbearable irony and fire for Kid and them. He took a deep breath, and then said, "Hmph, you still need to borrow the strength of others to deal with Blackbeard. Hehe, it seems that your Whitebeard Pirates are nothing more than this."
Aokiji suddenly jumped off the ship, returned to his bicycle, and then turned his head, and said, "It's not up to you to evaluate how we are. You just need to remember your decision. You should know what the consequences will be if you don't show up at that time."
"Oh right, your subordinates will recover after a while. However, they're probably going to suffer a bit."
After saying these words, Aokiji rode away on his bicycle. After he left, the ice was also slowly melting.
"Kid."
Looking at Kid, who was somewhat dazed, Killer suddenly opened his mouth, and called out.
Kid shook his head, and said, "I'm fine. It's just that I didn't expect that the people of the Whitebeard Pirates would actually come to find us."
Killer said, "It looks a bit strange, but it's actually understandable. The Whitebeard Pirates and the Blackbeard Pirates are already incompatible. Although they haven't fought for a long time, that day will come sooner or later. In order to be able to defeat the other party, and become the new emperor, the two of them will definitely use all means. So, that's why they came to find us."
Speaking to here, Killer suddenly laughed. He said, "Although it's a bit unexpected, since Death God had Aokiji find us, then it means that our pirate crew has entered his sight, and it's also equivalent to him recognizing our strength. Kid, this isn't an easy thing. That Death God is very likely to be enthroned as one of the four emperors soon."
Kid snorted coldly, and said, "Four emperors, huh? I hope so. However, I'll remember this grudge of him forcing us to participate. One day, I'll get it back from him."
Although he was very unhappy in his heart, Kid also knew what he should do. He actually still had a choice, which was to directly stay away from the Whitebeard Pirates, or join the Blackbeard Pirates' side. However, he didn't have a good impression of Blackbeard, and Blackbeard was even more unruly than Akira. So, he hadn't thought about helping Blackbeard.
As for leaving, that also had great risks. After all, if the Whitebeard Pirates won in the future, Death God was very likely to take action against them because of this matter. At that time, with their strength, there would be no chance to resist. So, it was better to take a gamble now.
Killer said, "If we want to get rid of this situation, we can only make ourselves stronger. Only when we ourselves are strong will this kind of situation not happen again."
"I know, and I believe that day won't be too far away."
Kid revealed a strong confidence. Although he had agreed under pressure this time, it had also aroused his fighting spirit.
...
Akira didn't know the situation on Aokiji and Ace's side. He was searching for Trafalgar Law's whereabouts alone. According to the information he had obtained, Law hadn't become a Shichibukai yet at this time. He was just active in the New World, and was relatively low-key for the time being. At least he hadn't made a name for himself in a short period of time like Kid. He was just a little famous in the New World.
Trafalgar Law often moved around. So, it also took Akira a not short amount of time to find him. When he found Law, Law had just docked on an island to rest.
"Trafalgar Law!"
Law was sitting together with his companions, resting. Suddenly, he heard someone call his name. His whole body immediately shook. He stood up abruptly, and shouted loudly, "Who?"
He scanned his gaze around, but didn't find anyone. At the same time, those people next to him also stood next to him, took out their weapons, and scanned the surroundings with vigilant gazes.
"I'm here."
The voice from just now rang out again. Law turned his head, and saw a man standing dozens of meters away from them.
"Death God!"
With just one glance, Law recognized this man. However, his face was full of shock. He couldn't believe that Akira would actually appear in front of him.
"Why is it you? Why are you here?"
Besides shock, Law didn't know what else could express his mood. The situation was so tense at this time. Akira should be going all out to deal with Blackbeard. He shouldn't be here at all.
Akira looked at Law, and said, "Can you guess why I've come?"
Law's eyes flickered. Suddenly, he said, "We don't know each other, and we haven't had any contact. But you suddenly appeared here. Do you want to recruit me?"
Akira said, "You're really smart. That's my purpose. So, what's your answer?"
... ... ...
Law said in a deep voice, "Why? Why do you want to recruit me? To you, I'm just a small fry. I'm not worth you, this famous big figure, personally coming to recruit me."
Akira said, "I'm very clear about the abilities of the Ope Ope no Mi, and I'm also very clear about your potential, Law."
Law's expression was constantly changing. Akira's recruitment was something that he had never thought of. He had also never thought about joining someone else's command, because he had also been someone else's subordinate before, and had a tragic ending. So, he didn't want to repeat the same mistake.
"If I'm unwilling to accept your recruitment, then what will you do? Kill me?" Law asked.
Akira said with a smile, "Am I a bad person who kills people without batting an eye? If anyone doesn't obey me, I'll kill them. Wouldn't that mean I have to kill the vast majority of people in this world?"
Law said, "Then what do you want to do?"
Akira said, "Of course I want to persuade you, Trafalgar Law, Trafalgar D. Water Law!"
Hearing Akira call out his full name, Law's expression instantly became very ugly. He grabbed the sword in his hand, and looked at Akira in shock, and asked, "How do you know my name?"
Akira said, "Not only do I know your name, but I also know everything about you. You were born in a country called 'White City,' Flevance."
"How do you know so much?" Law asked loudly.
Akira ignored him, and continued, "Flevance produced a lot of platinum lead ore, so it produced an incurable platinum lead disease. You also contracted the disease. And the reason why you were able to survive is because you ate the Ope Ope no Mi. I wonder if what I'm saying is right?"
Law's expression was gloomy. He said slowly, "It seems that you know everything. However, if you want to use these things to threaten me, then you're thinking too much. Even if all of this is exposed now, it won't be anything to me."
Akira chuckled, and said, "Do you think I need to do that?"
Law didn't speak. Indeed, Akira didn't need to do that. There wouldn't be any benefits for him to do that.
Law asked, "Did you investigate my background in order to recruit me?"
Akira shook his head, and said, "No, I've known your background for a long time. To be precise, my target was also the Ope Ope no Mi more than ten years ago. It's just that you got it one step ahead of me. However, it doesn't matter. My purpose for wanting the Ope Ope no Mi isn't the same as Doflamingo's. So, you don't need to be hostile towards me."
Law was very shocked in his heart. He could hear from Akira's words that it seemed that the other party knew everything. Everything about him was transparent in front of Akira. He didn't understand why Akira would know everything. As far as he knew, Akira seemed to have been locked up in Impel Down for ten years. Even if the Whitebeard Pirates were strong, they couldn't possibly have such a good source of information, right?
