With his brows furrowed tightly, Law's heart was very uneasy. The captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, Death God, had personally come to recruit him. This not only represented sincerity, but also represented confidence. If he directly refused, he didn't even know what choice Akira would make. He didn't dare to gamble, and didn't want to gamble, because he still had unrealized wishes, so he couldn't afford to gamble either.
Seeing that Law was still hesitating, Akira opened his mouth again, and said, "If you agree to join my pirate crew, I can keep your pirate crew. I'll just have you merge into our Whitebeard Pirates Alliance. I won't force you to disband your pirate crew. Even if you need it, you can use the power of our pirate crew. For example, to take revenge on Doflamingo!"
"As expected, you know everything." Law took a deep breath. Although he knew that Akira already knew everything about him, he was still very shocked when Akira said it.
Akira asked, "I've said everything I need to say. Now it's your turn to make a reply. Are you willing to agree to my request?"
Law's heart was very tangled at this time. Actually, he was also an ambitious person, and also wanted to become a big figure like the four emperors. However, he could see himself more clearly. He knew that he would have difficulty defeating even Doflamingo, let alone becoming a four emperor-level existence. There was just a trace of unwillingness in his heart.
Moreover, if Akira could really help him take revenge, he would still be very tempted in his heart.
"Are you really willing to help me deal with Doflamingo?" Law asked.
Akira replied affirmatively, "Of course. As long as you're willing to agree to my request, and join the Whitebeard Pirates, I can help you deal with Doflamingo."
Law said in a deep voice, "But Doflamingo isn't as simple as you think. His identity is different, and he also has Navy Headquarters behind him. Are you really willing to deal with Doflamingo's Donquixote Family for my personal grudge?"
Akira said with a smile, "Are you talking about Doflamingo's Celestial Dragon identity?"
Law said in shock, "How do you know?"
Akira said, "I've known it for a long time. Although he's tried his best to hide it, he will always show flaws. Moreover, I've also fought Doflamingo a few times, so I don't have any goodwill towards him. As for your worry about whether I'm willing to help you, or whether I can destroy the Donquixote Family, I think you don't need to worry at all. Although the Donquixote Family controls Dressrosa, our Whitebeard Pirates, as the former four emperors pirate crew, are much stronger than him in terms of strength and power. As for Doflamingo, with the strength of my pirate crew, not to mention me, even Ace, Marco, or any one of Aokiji is enough to defeat him..."
"Also, what you said about the World Government and Navy Headquarters, that's even more nonsense. After the Summit War, we've long since become mortal enemies with them. There's no room for any reconciliation at all. So, do you think I'll be concerned about their thoughts when I act?"
Law agreed more with what Akira had said. Indeed, in terms of power, even if Doflamingo developed well, he was still far inferior to the Whitebeard Pirates. Moreover, when it came to personal strength, there were indeed several people in the Whitebeard Pirates who were only stronger than Doflamingo, not weaker. If the Whitebeard Pirates dealt with Doflamingo, the chances of winning could reach 80% or 90%.
But, the problem was that the one standing behind Doflamingo wasn't just the World Government, but there were also other people. So, Law said, "If it was just like this, I wouldn't have too many doubts. But now, there are still two problems. If they can't be resolved, I'm afraid I won't agree to you."
Akira said, "Speak. As long as I can agree to your terms, I will try my best to satisfy you. This is my sincerity."
Law said, "According to my investigation, Doflamingo has now hooked up with the new world four emperors, Kaido of the Beasts. With the four emperors Kaido of the Beasts as his backer, are you still willing to deal with him?"
Akira said with a smile, "I'm not afraid to tell you. I was already standing on the opposite side of Kaido of the Beasts. He killed someone who had temporarily left my pirate crew. He didn't even give me face, so why should I give him face? Moreover, I can also use this matter to warn him, and let him know that my Whitebeard Pirates aren't so easy to provoke."
Law hadn't expected that Akira and them had actually started to oppose one of the four emperors, Kaido of the Beasts. He was very shocked in his heart. He took another breath, and said, "One last question. To tell you the truth, not long ago, people from Navy Headquarters came to find me, hoping that I would become a Shichibukai."
"Shichibukai?"
Akira's expression was surprised. He knew that Trafalgar Law had become a Shichibukai in the original story. It was just that he didn't know when Law had become a Shichibukai during the two years. It stood to reason that it was absolutely impossible for him to become a Shichibukai so early, because he had now entered the New World, but he was still just a rookie. How could the Navy have found him so quickly?
Law nodded, and said, "That's right. The Navy has contacted me, hoping that I can serve as the new Shichibukai. After all, the positions of Shichibukai have been vacated because of Blackbeard and Jinbe's departure."
Akira's eyes flickered. He understood what Akainu meant. It was nothing more than that Navy Headquarters had just entered the New World, and the situation was unstable. So, he wanted to fill the positions of Shichibukai, and strengthen the Navy's power. It was just that he hadn't expected that he would actually find Law so quickly.
Akira asked, "Shichibukai, that's not a bad choice. However, I think you haven't agreed yet, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't have said these kinds of words to me."
Law said, "I haven't agreed yet. However, I've already made an appointment with the Navy. I will give them an answer today."
"Oh?"
Akira's expression was surprised, and he asked, "Today? Do you mean that you have an appointment to meet with the Navy today?"
Law nodded, and said, "That's right. Moreover, I had originally decided to join the Shichibukai. But your appearance was really unexpected. So, I'm a bit hesitant now. Should I join the Shichibukai, or should I join the Whitebeard Pirates?"
Akira asked, "Then what are your thoughts?"
Law didn't intend to make fun of Akira. He directly opened his mouth, and said his thoughts. He said, "Actually, what I'm wondering now is that if I join the Shichibukai, I won't have to live under someone else's roof. But if I agree, I think you shouldn't let me go easily, right? But if I agree to you, I'm not worried about the Navy Headquarters' side. I believe you can also protect me. It's just that from that time on, I'll have to start living under someone else's roof. This feeling is really not very pleasant."
Akira said in a deep voice, "My Whitebeard Pirates value loyalty first. Although we can be said to have lost the Summit War, you should have also seen the live broadcast. Our Whitebeard Pirates will never abandon our companions, even if we fight until the last moment."
"I."
Law opened his mouth, and was about to speak. Suddenly, Akira's eyes narrowed. His gaze looked towards the distant shore. They saw a huge Navy warship quickly docking on the coast.
"Navy warship."
Seeing that a Navy warship had actually appeared, Akira immediately understood that Law hadn't lied. The Navy had actually come to recruit him. Moreover, looking at the size of this Navy warship, the person who had come was probably a big figure in the Navy.
The appearance of the Navy made the atmosphere between Akira and Law become a bit strange. Of course, the most nervous people were naturally those in Law's pirate crew. For them, whether it was the person from Navy Headquarters, or the Death God in front of them, they were all big figures that they couldn't afford to offend. However, they were also very proud, because their captain could actually attract the pursuit of two major forces. This was enough to show Law's potential.
"Da da, da da..."
A series of footsteps rang out. Dozens of Navy soldiers walked down from the Navy warship, and quickly walked towards here.
When this group of Navy got closer, Akira suddenly raised his eyebrows, because the one walking in the front among the Navy was actually a tall man, draped in a cloak. However, what surprised him wasn't because he hadn't seen this person before, and it wasn't because even the Navy vice admirals were walking behind him. What truly surprised him was that this person's eyes had always been tightly closed as he walked, and the sword he was holding in his hand.
"His position is higher than a Navy vice admiral, and he also has his eyes closed. Could it be that he's..."
In an instant, Akira guessed this person's identity. He was very shocked in his heart. He hadn't expected that this person would actually join the Navy so early. And the person who had come to recruit Law would actually be this man who was internally opposed to the Shichibukai forces.
Akira recognized this person. However, Trafalgar Law and them hadn't recognized him. He only recognized the Navy vice admiral behind this man, because this Navy vice admiral was the person who had met him last time, Shark Cutter Bastille.
But even Bastille was actually following behind this person. This showed that this person was definitely not simple, and his position was higher than Bastille. It was just that he had never heard of this kind of person in the Navy.
"Trafalgar Law, how have you been considering it? Are you willing to join the Shichibukai?"
The Navy stopped in front of Law. Navy Vice Admiral Bastille directly asked Law. Because he and Akira were in different directions, Akira was directly opposite, and was blocked by Law and the others in the middle. So, this person hadn't seen Akira.
Law didn't reply directly. Instead, he looked at the man who was at the very front of the Navy, and had always had his eyes closed, and asked, "Who is this? Why have I never seen him before? Is he the one who's going to talk to me?"
Bastille said, "This is Mr. Fujitora, who was specially recruited by our Navy Headquarters, and was promoted to Admiral out of the ordinary."
"New Navy Admiral!"
Law's expression immediately changed. He had guessed that Fujitora's identity wasn't simple. However, he had never expected that this person would actually be the new Navy Admiral. He stared intently at Fujitora, and suddenly asked, "Could it be that the new Navy Admiral is blind?"
