After glancing at these future famous great pirates, Shin’s gaze returned to Whitebeard and Kaido.
The battle between Whitebeard and Kaido was the main event.
“Shin, the Marines are here too.”
Olvia reminded Shin, pointing to the warships sailing in from not far away. Akainu and Aokiji were here.
“What are the Marines doing here?”
Hancock was surprised. This was a battle between great pirates. What did it have to do with the Marines? What were they doing here?
“If Whitebeard and Kaido are both seriously injured, the Marines will definitely not mind stepping in to take them down.”
Shin glanced at the Marine warships and had already guessed the Marines’ purpose. It wasn’t hard to guess.
“So that’s how it is.” Hancock nodded. She hadn’t expected the Marines to have such a plan.
“There must be other reasons. The pirates around should also be their targets,” Robin said.
“Yes, Robin is smart. Indeed, these Great pirates around are also the Marines’ targets. Even if they can’t deal with Whitebeard and Kaido, dealing with these great pirates is a win for the Marines.”
Shin smiled and nodded. Robin’s guess was not wrong.
The news of the battle between Whitebeard and Kaido had spread so quickly. Perhaps they had been the ones pushing it.
Just like when Roger was executed—the Marines also took the opportunity to capture countless pirates. Now, it was probably an imitation of last time’s opportunity.
With two Admirals, Akainu and Aokiji, leading the team, the pirates around were a little agitated. At this time, Akainu and Aokiji had already made a great name for themselves on the sea.
————
“What are the Marines doing here? Are they here for Whitebeard and Kaido?” Crocodile guessed in his heart.
But Crocodile still kept a lookout, finding a position that was easy to escape from. If anything went wrong, he would slip away immediately.
He couldn’t handle a Marine Admiral. Crocodile had self-awareness.
The other pirates were the same. Seeing the Marines, they weren’t so brazen anymore.
After all, this was not the era ruled by the Four Emperors.
At that time, the Marines’ control over the New World was at its weakest. But now, though the control was still weak, it could still make the pirates tremble in fear.
As the pirates were in a panic, Marine Admiral Aokiji also frowned.
————
“Shin Uzumaki’s Kuja Pirates are also here.”
Aokiji looked at Shin on the ship of the Kuja Pirates not far away, his mood somewhat complicated. This was the second time he had seen Shin—and the first time he had almost died.
“Hmph.”
Akainu snorted coldly, his eyes becoming somewhat dangerous.
“Akainu, I’m warning you, it’s best not to act on your own. Let’s ask for Fleet Admiral Sengoku’s orders first,”
Aokiji looked at Akainu and said to him.
Akainu’s personality was too extreme. He was really afraid that Akainu would act recklessly, and then the original plan would be ruined.
So Aokiji quickly used a Den Den Mushi to contact Sengoku at Marine Headquarters, Marineford.
————
“This is Marine Headquarters. Aokiji, what do you have to report?” Sengoku’s voice came over. The Den Den Mushi had also changed to have some battle-like features.
The One Piece world had many strange things; the Den Den Mushi was one of them.
“Fleet Admiral, we found Shin Uzumaki here, where Whitebeard and Kaido are fighting,” Aokiji reported.
“What? Shin Uzumaki has reached the New World?” Sengoku hadn’t expected Shin Uzumaki’s speed to be so fast.
“DON’T ENGAGE SHIN UZUMAKI. CONTINUE WITH THE PLAN. REMEMBER, DO NOT THINK ABOUT ENGAGING HIM.” Sengoku ordered.
Aokiji nodded, then his gaze turned to Akainu.
“I hope you won’t act on your own.”
“Don’t use the Fleet Admiral to pressure me.” Akainu didn’t even look at Aokiji, his gaze fixed on Shin Uzumaki.
————
“That’s a rather unpleasant gaze…”
Shin’s perception was sharp.
“I don’t like being stared at by dogs.” Shin said calmly. Though his voice seemed small, the distant Akainu could definitely hear it.
Akainu’s gaze turned cold.
“Don’t forget our original plan.” Aokiji placed his hand on Akainu’s shoulder. He certainly had to stop Akainu.
If Akainu could defeat Shin Uzumaki, Aokiji wouldn’t stop him. But the most crucial thing was that Akainu was no match for Shin Uzumaki.
Though the two had never fought, Aokiji knew the strength of both sides. Akainu’s strength was not much different from his. And Shin Uzumaki’s strength was above his.
If Akainu acted, he would probably be thrashed in minutes. Even if the two of them acted together… Unless they called Kizaru. Aokiji felt that if the three Admirals teamed up—they could still fight Shin Uzumaki.
As for whether they could defeat him, that was hard to say.
Akainu didn’t speak, he was persuaded by Aokiji and didn’t attack Shin.
But this time, Akainu said he would remember Shin. He himself didn’t have much tolerance, especially since Shin had called him a dog—and in front of everyone.
Probably some pirates had heard it. To be honest, in this situation, that Akainu could hold back from attacking, Shin was a little surprised.
“You’ve made an enemy of another Marine Admiral,” Olvia said with a sigh.
“We were enemies to begin with. What’s the difference?” Shin shrugged. Pirates and Marines were originally enemies.
“Let’s watch the battle between Whitebeard and Kaido… eh, why did they stop?” Shin looked at Whitebeard and Kaido with surprise.
Are they also wary of the Marines, afraid of being taken advantage of?
————
This time Shin was wrong. They weren’t afraid of the Marines, but wary of Shin. From the moment he arrived here, the two of them gradually stopped.
“They’re not going to fight anymore?”
Shin had come here specifically to watch their great battle. If they really weren’t going to fight, then wouldn’t he have come for nothing?
“Probably not. Looking at Kaido’s aggressive manner, he won’t give up easily.” Olvia felt they probably wouldn’t stop so easily.
Indeed, since they had fought this time, Kaido had no intention of stopping easily. Today, a winner had to be decided between him and Whitebeard.
Otherwise, if he really chickened out, he could forget about becoming an Emperor in the future. He would become a laughingstock of the sea.
