"I."
Hearing Akira say that he had agreed to join, Law opened his mouth, and was about to speak. However, Akira's cold gaze suddenly swept over. He had never seen such a fierce and domineering gaze before. Although he himself was a person who feared nothing in heaven or earth, after seeing Akira's gaze, he couldn't help but feel fear in his heart. So, he didn't dare to speak anymore.
"Oh? Is there such a thing?"
Fujitora said with some surprise, "But what I received as an order was to grant Trafalgar Law the identity of a Shichibukai?"
Akira said, "Of course there's no problem with that. He can both join my Whitebeard Pirates Alliance, and also shoulder the identity of Shichibukai at the same time. Wasn't Jinbe like this before?"
Fujitora said, "It sounds like it's not bad. But this old man feels that this isn't a good thing. He can only be a Shichibukai. He can't join the Whitebeard Pirates."
"In that case, we can't come to an agreement?" Akira's tone became cold.
Fujitora said, "We can't decide this matter. It should be decided by the person involved. Trafalgar Law, do you want to become a Shichibukai, or do you want to join the Whitebeard Pirates? Give us an answer."
Instantly, everyone's gazes focused on Law. This made him feel very depressed. To be precise, he couldn't afford to offend either of these two sides. But now, they were both forcing him to make a decision.
As a fellow pirate, Law was actually somewhat biased towards Akira, because his experiences since childhood had made him have no goodwill towards the World Government. Navy Headquarters was the military force under the World Government, so he naturally wouldn't have any goodwill either. Joining the Shichibukai was just a strategy for him at the moment. It was just to make it easier for him to act.
If Akira hadn't appeared, he would have basically agreed to become a Shichibukai. But now, Akira's appearance had disrupted his plans. If he agreed to become a Shichibukai, then he would offend Akira. He didn't know who could win between the Whitebeard Pirates and the Blackbeard Pirates. But if the Whitebeard Pirates won, and Akira became the emperor, it would probably be very difficult for him to continue to survive in the New World. He didn't think that the identity of a Shichibukai could make the Navy protect him.
However, if he joined the Whitebeard Pirates, he would relatively lose his freedom. After all, he would be living under someone else's roof.
If he could not choose, he would definitely be unwilling to choose. However, now, both sides were forcing him to choose. He had to make a decision here. Should he join the Whitebeard Pirates Alliance, or should he become a Shichibukai? He had no way to refuse.
Law turned his head, and looked at his companions behind him. If it was just him alone, he could make a decision according to his own thoughts. But now, he had to take into account the life and death of his companions. So, he couldn't afford to make even the slightest wrong decision.
They saw Law suddenly look at Akira, and ask, "If I agree to you, will you really agree to my conditions?"
A smile appeared on the corners of Akira's mouth. He knew that Law had already made a decision. So, he said solemnly, "I always keep my word. I will definitely not go back on the conditions I promised you."
"Alright."
Law said loudly, "In that case, I agree to join the Whitebeard Pirates' Alliance. However, it's not just me personally joining. It's including my pirate crew, and I have to keep my own pirate crew."
Akira said, "No problem. Then from today onwards, your pirate crew will be a subsidiary pirate crew of my Whitebeard Pirates."
Although he didn't know what conditions Law and Akira had talked about, Law's decision to join the Whitebeard Pirates now was definitely not a good thing for the Navy. Especially Fujitora, who had personally taken action this time. He didn't want to see this kind of situation even more. Even if he didn't like the Shichibukai system, he was even more unwilling for Law to join the Whitebeard Pirates.
"Trafalgar Law, have you really considered it clearly? If you join the Whitebeard Pirates, then our Navy Headquarters will definitely not let you go."
Navy Vice Admiral Bastille shouted angrily when he saw that Law had actually agreed to join the Whitebeard Pirates.
Since he had decided, Law naturally wouldn't regret it. He said, "I don't care about being a Shichibukai. I won't be afraid of you either. Do whatever you want to deal with me. In short, from today onwards, my Heart Pirates will be affiliated with the Whitebeard Pirates."
"You." Bastille was extremely angry, but he was stopped by Fujitora.
Fujitora said towards Akira's direction, "It seems that you've won after all."
Akira said, "There wasn't a competition to begin with, so how can we talk about winning or losing?"
Fujitora said, "This is my mission. If I let you take him away so easily, then this old man will definitely lose face."
"Then what do you want to do?" Akira asked.
Fujitora suddenly raised his hand. They saw him standing the cane he was using in front of him, and said to Akira, "I've heard that you've fought the world's greatest swordsman, Hawkeye, before, and it was a draw. Although this old man doesn't care about these things, this old man also wants to see Your Excellency's swordsmanship."
Akira said, "Are you going to take action? However, it's just what I wanted. To be able to be promoted to Navy Admiral out of the ordinary, you must have super strength. Anyway, we'll become opponents sooner or later. In that case, I'll test your depth here first."
Saying this, Akira also gripped the hilt of the sword behind him, and looked at Fujitora with an icy gaze.
"Not good, Mr. Issho is going to go to war with Death God. Mr. Issho's attack range is too big. We have to retreat quickly."
The Navy, seeing that Fujitora was going to take action against Akira, were all startled. They quickly retreated backwards. On the other side, Law also took his people and retreated backwards, staying far away from the two of them. Then, their gazes were fixed on the duel between the Navy Admiral and the great pirate Death God. This was very rare to see.
Akira's eyes narrowed slightly. The information he knew about Fujitora was all from his previous life. However, it was the first time he had seen Fujitora. But all of this was very different from what he had imagined.
According to the plot in the One Piece manga, Fujitora should have joined the Navy during the world conscription process not long before the start of the plot two years later, and then been promoted to Navy Admiral out of the ordinary.
But now, there was still nearly a year and a half before the plot two years later. Fujitora had actually joined Navy Headquarters, and had also become a Navy Admiral. This made Akira feel very unusual. It seemed that the situation in the world had greatly deviated from the original story because of his appearance. What would happen in the future was really becoming more and more difficult to say. He couldn't rely on his understanding of the plot, and start to take things lightly. After all, there were still many existences that hadn't been exposed in the original story. The current three emperors pirate crews basically didn't have much information.
"Death God, this old man is coming!"
Fujitora gripped the hilt of his sword, and warned Akira.
Saying this, he suddenly drew his sword. They saw that at the moment the sword was drawn, a purple light suddenly shot towards the sky. Then, the purple light disappeared, as if nothing had happened.
"What's going on? What happened?"
Seeing that Fujitora had drawn his sword, and a purple light had been emitted, and then he had returned his sword to its sheath, but nothing had happened, Law and the others were all at a loss, and didn't understand what Fujitora's situation was at all. Was this the start of the war?
But Law quickly knew what the situation was. They saw Akira slowly raise his head. Then, Law, somewhat puzzled, also raised his head along with Akira's gaze. In the next instant, his expression suddenly changed greatly. He shouted in horror.
"Impossible, that's, a meteorite?"
Under Law's horrified gaze, they saw a huge meteorite suddenly falling from the sky, and falling towards their location at an extremely fast speed. If it fell, it would definitely smash this place into ruins.
Unlike Law and them, who were horrified and shocked to see the meteorite, Akira revealed an excited smile after seeing the meteorite rapidly falling in the sky, and said, "Meteorite, as expected, it's an unusual ability, hehe."
Saying this, Akira suddenly drew his Death God Blade, and then quickly swung his sword towards the falling meteorite, "Getsuga Tensho!"
They saw several crescent-shaped sword lights flash, and all of them hit the meteorite, dividing the huge meteorite into several parts. And similarly, Fujitora also drew his sword again. A purple light flashed, and he also split the meteorite above his head.
As for Law and them, as well as those Navy, they were all horrified, and quickly retreated backwards, retreating hundreds of meters away before stopping.
"Rumble!"
