After killing Bastille, Dan has volunteered to collect the spoils.
It is just there were not many valuable things left. After all, Akira destroyed all these naval warships.
Akira was delighted with Dan's enthusiasm, so he asked Max to go with him.
After the fierce battle in this area, most of the wreckage of the warships was still burning, but Dan combed the battle site very seriously.
Akira didn't expect that Dan would find a solid, awkward-shaped box on a half-destroyed ship.
The box was made of metal and was not damaged at all, except it was hot.
For Akira, this was a surprise.
"The main indicative points to initiate Armament Haki..."
Akira was sitting in the Captain's room, and he was looking at the notes in his hand with wide-open eyes!
At the bottom of the notes, there was a signature under the name of Zephyr!
Zephyr, the Vice-Admiral of the Navy, who is good at using Armament Haki, and he is known as the "Black Arm" Zephyr by everyone.
During his life, he crusaded many pirates but never killed any of them, at least not yet.
It is a pity that not long after the birth of his child, his wife and child were killed by the pirates. Such loss and injustice led to a deep hatred towards pirates, and after he left the marines, he formed a group to take matters into his own hands and annihilate them all, even if it also meant opposing the World Government and the Marines. His hatred led to irrational acts such as plotting to destroy the New World to eradicate his enemies at the cost of countless innocent lives.
As a Rear-admiral admiral in the Navy, Bastille was also trained in the elite training camp, and he can be regarded as a disciple of Zephyr.
Therefore, it was reasonable for Bastille to have these notes.
For Akira, these notes will be handy.
Armament Haki is a unique form of Haki in the world of One Piece. Anyone who aspires to climb to the top should possess it.
Although Akira copied how to induce Armament Haki from the movements of Bastille, he did not know any specific training method of Armament Haki.
However, now that he has these notes, it will not be that hard for him.
"Bastille was really was very helpful." a smile appeared on Akira's face, praising Bastille.
"Armament Haki can enhance personal defense power by acting as an invisible armor; it can also evolve into an offensive power and then compete with the devil fruit ability. It even can touch the entity of the Elementalization. But it cannot make the devil fruit user unable to use his devil fruit's power like the 'Seastone.' In addition to use it on one's own body, Armament Haki can also be used on objects."
"Armament Haki is a kind of power that many people in this world have. Whether you can master this power or not depends on the person's physique. As long as there is enough physical power, the Armament Haki can definitely be easily initiated."
After reading the notes, Akira began to train to use Armament Haki.
...
Loguetown.
Three naval warships were docked at the pier, but there were no more pirate ships around the dock anymore.
These pirates had already known that Akira had killed the Rear-Admiral of Loguetown, and the headquarters also sent a large number of navies to the naval base in Loguetown.
Therefore, in order to avoid any confrontation with the navy headquarters, the pirates have escaped.
"Is there still no news about Akira?" The vice admiral Strawberry, who was standing at the highest point of the naval base in Loguetown, asked.
Strawberry was wearing a white navy coat, and the epaulets were showing his rank as the vice admiral in the Navy.
He is a tall and expressionless man. His face is much longer than ordinary people's. With two long swords hanging from his waist, he is obviously a dual-wield swordsman.
Smoker was heavily wrapped in gauze, and apparently, his injuries have not recovered yet.
"Well, the dispatched navy patrol did not find him."
"Where are the bounty hunters?"
"It's been a long time since a strong pirate like Akira appeared in the East Blue Sea. Those bounty hunters didn't dare to go after Akira."
Smoker, who was silent for a while, replied.
"Sure enough, they are a bunch of unreliable trash." There was a trace of disgust in Strawberry's expression when he said this.
His aide, a lieutenant in the Navy, approached him and asked Strawberry in a low voice: "Vice Admiral, Admiral Sakazuki's order is to capture this pirate and imprison him here. What shall we do now?"
Strawberry snorted coldly and said: "Hmph. Since he is not around the Loguetown, then he is definitely going to the Grand Line. And in that case, we will wait for him at the Twin Cape."
(T/N: Twin Cape is located at the bottom of Reverse Mountain, at the exit that leads into Paradise.)
"Okay, I will order the other warships to follow us immediately."
However, Strawberry nodded to the lieutenant, then looked at the calm sea waves in front of him. An idea came to his mind, and he said to Smoker: "Smoker, you have already fought with Akira, So you know him better.I want you come with me on this mission!"
A wave of joy has spread on Smoker's face, and he immediately thanked Strawberry:
"Thank you! Vice Admiral."
As for this young Captain who is very well-connected in the navy headquarters, of course, Strawberry would not let the opportunity of being a friend with him go in vain.
