This...
Are you speaking like a human?
The high-ranking navy officers glanced sideways.
Spandine's eyes revealed his undisguised intent to kill. His forehead was pressed low, face twisted with hatred, almost spilling over; he desperately wanted to draw the pistol from his waist and shoot this Vice Admiral provoking him!
Unfortunately...
This was a meeting of the naval high command.
Furthermore, Akihara Kagura was a Logia-type fruit ability user…
"You bastard..."
Spandine gritted his teeth, forcing out a few words: "Don't let me find the opportunity to take you down..."
"I hope you act quickly."
Akihara Kagura waved a friendly hand at Spandine, as if he couldn't see the hatred in his eyes: "You can leave now..."
"Show some respect..."
Vice Admiral Ryokugyu grinned as if ready to spar with Akihara Kagura: "Mr. Spandine is a high-ranking official of the World Government..."
"..."
The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became tense.
Akihara Kagura's gaze slowly moved toward Ryokugyu, seemingly surprised by his words; Ryokugyu, wearing sunglasses, fearlessly locked eyes with Akihara Kagura.
"..."
Aokiji sat at the head, feeling extremely troubled. He hadn't expected that before the Battle of Enies Lobby had even begun, two Vice Admirals were already starting to infight.
This kind of thing...
Aokiji was somewhat reluctant to deal with it.
Because these two Vice Admirals of the Navy Headquarters, one was a loyal fan of Akainu, who admired Akainu's ruthless methods immensely; the other was an undercover agent from the Konoha Pirates within the navy, with the Konoha Pirates backing him, exuding a completely unrestrained attitude.
Aokiji couldn't resolve the infighting between the two Vice Admirals; he could only address the root cause of their conflict, Spandine, waving a hand towards him: "Hey, Spandine, you go first, let's chat after this meeting..."
"You!"
Spandine furiously grabbed the pistol at his waist, grinding his teeth as he glanced at Aokiji, then at Akihara Kagura: "You! Just wait!"
This humiliation...
Spandine naturally bore it in his heart again.
Therefore, when Spandine returned to his room, radiating an aura that dared no one to provoke him, he encountered a man with a pale face, and instantly wore an unfriendly expression, ready to draw his gun.
"Who are you!"
"Daring to intrude into my room!"
"Let me introduce myself..."
"I am Laffitte, the navigator of the Blackbeard Pirates."
This pale-faced man was indeed Laffitte from the Blackbeard Pirates, once a sheriff in the West Sea, notorious for excessive violence, and later joined the Blackbeard Pirates, having gone through various experiences.
"The pirate crew that attacked the World Nobles on Sky Island..."
Spandine's mind quickly cleared up as he recalled the Blackbeard Pirates and Laffitte's name, always remembering all the criminals highly wanted by the World Government!
Anyone who participated in the Sky Island hunting game, or even killed Heavenly Celestial Dragons in the game, was etched in Spandine's mind!
Because...
Their lives were gifts he could use to please the Celestial Dragons!
Even though Spandine hadn't captured any so far, it didn't stop him from memorizing the names of those super criminals...
"Don't rush."
Laffitte waved a hand in a very friendly manner, smiling broadly: "We are not here to be your enemy..."
"We heard something; your son Spandam was killed by a Vice Admiral named Akihara Kagura, and we can help you kill that Vice Admiral..."
"..."
Spandine raised his hand to pull the trigger.
"We can help you kill him."
Laffitte chuckled and uttered a sentence, making Spandine lower his gun.
Just for his son, Spandine wasn't planning to deal with troublesome people like Laffitte, but the humiliation from Akihara Kagura today was too much, leading Spandine to consider using every means and resource to eliminate him!
However...
Spandine wasn't a fool.
Spandine's fingers moved to retract the gun, carelessly playing with it in his hand, coldly saying: "I remember you guys had a confrontation with that bastard Akihara Kagura on Sky Island; I don't know how it ended for you..."
Yes.
Akihara Kagura had indeed faced off against the Blackbeard Pirates.
Many had even witnessed the possible clash; unfortunately, the Konoha Pirates did not broadcast the fight via radio snail; the result was that both Akihara Kagura and the Blackbeard Pirates were alive.
But...
The members of the Blackbeard Pirates certainly knew the outcome.
Laffitte, seeking Spandine's help, surely wouldn't claim that their Blackbeard Pirates were almost defeated by Akihara Kagura alone and barely escaped with their lives...
"Our Captain almost took him down..."
Laffitte elegantly flicked his hand, shamelessly praising Blackbeard Teach: "The Captain is a brave, fearless, and charismatic man; how could a mere Vice Admiral obstruct his path..."
Such words...
Probably only the guys from the Blackbeard Pirates could shamelessly utter, completely ignoring the fact that their ship doctor was almost knocked senseless...
