The sun slowly began to set.

Akira picked up the Nanashaku Jitte that Smoker had left on the battlefield.

Although Smoker's devil fruit capability is turning into the smoke to trap the enemy, his attack power is not excellent compared to the other elemental abilities, so he tipped his Jitte with Seastone to prevent the other from using their abilities.

Seastone is a rare mineral that only exists in Wano Country. It will drain the Devil Fruit user of their stamina and nullify their powers.

Due to its similar composition to seawater, it can be regarded as a solid form of the sea.

Therefore, in addition to being afraid of seawater, those with devil fruit abilities are also afraid of Seastones.

After the navy captures the devil fruit users, they generally use cages or handcuffs made of Seastones to restrict them.

In addition to making their limbs weaker, the Seastone is also exceptionally hard, and ordinary methods will not damage it.

Therefore, the moment Akira saw the Nanashaku Jitte, he had the idea to craft a Seastone Shuriken.

When he was dealing with Smoker realized that although Amaterasu can damage the Elementalization, it puts too much burden on the eyes.

A shuriken made of Seastone is the best choice for him until he masters the Armament Haki.

...

Above the calm sea, Akira sat alone on the deck, carefully polishing the removed Seastone from the Nanashaku Jitte.

After leaving Cocoyasi Village, the Akatsuki Pirates have been sailing on the sea for more than ten days.

Dan was holding the helm, and their direction was the Reverse Mountain.

As for Max, his task is to watch out for the ship and the movements on the sea.

"Captain! There are naval warships in front of us."

Max shouted to Akira, then quickly climbed down the crow's nest and took out his weapon, preparing for the coming battle.

During these ten days, Akira briefly taught Max and Dan some combat skills, and in the remaining time, he kept polishing the Seastone Shuriken.

Now that the Seastone Shuriken has slowly begun to take its shape, Akira decided to abandon the short, broken sword he used a few days ago.

He raised his head and narrowed his eyes when he heard Max's shout.

He saw a group of naval warships slowly approaching in the distance, and a tall figure on the warship appeared in his sight!

"A Rear-Admiral?"

Under the insight of the Sharingan, Akira quickly recognized the Epaulettes on the other party's shoulders.

It was Bastille, a Rear-Admiral in the Navy Headquarters!

Once he saw Akira, Bastille jumped off the warship and landed on Akira's ship.

It was the ship that he took from Arlong Pirates.

Although it is not made of valuable wood, it is also powerful. It is much better than the Giant Monster Pirates' ship.

"Finally, I found you. Akira!"

Bastille, holding a large sword, and wearing a navy coat with a strange face mask, said to Akira.

"How to say it?"

"I am the highest officer stationed at the naval base in Loguetown. You can call me Bastille."

"Bastille!" For a moment, Akira tried hard to know the identity of this person, and finally, he recognized him.

The Vice-Admiral who will go to Dressrosa with the future Vice-Admiral Fujitora and then got caught by Sabo's dragon claws and smashed his mask!

The current Bastille did not become a Vice-Admiral of the navy headquarters yet. He is a Rear-Admiral of the navy headquarters at the time being.

"Is Bastille now in charge of Loguetown? That means it won't take long for him to return to the navy headquarters for promotion."

"Are you here to avenge Smoker?" Akira asked.

Bastille looked at Akira, opened his mouth slightly to talk, and a low voice came from behind the mask:

"Smoker's failure was because he lacks strength. I am here to take your head and to honor the innocent soldiers who you have killed."

"The Rear-Admiral of the navy has not the gut to admit that he had a corrupted navy?"

Bastille made a cold harrumph, put the large shark-shaped sword on his shoulder, and said to Akira indifferently:

"Hmph, we will deal with the internal affairs of the navy. But still, this was not an enough reason to kill the navy soldiers!"

Akira shook his head disappointedly at his words, looking at the Epaulettes on Bastille's coat, and laughed out loudly.

"What are you laughing at?" Bastille asked with a frowned expression.

Akira slowly raised his head with a look of disgust on his face and said:

"It's just an excuse for your incompetence. If all the high officers in the navy are like you, then I guess it will be a lot easier for me to get rid of them in the future."

"Like me?"

Bastille's face sank. He is a Rear Admiral of the Navy Headquarters and the marine officer of the Loguetown naval branch base!

Even the supernova pirate whose bounty is more than 100 million bellies, had not ever underestimated him until now, and now a mere new pirate whose bounty is only 20 million bellies dared to look down on him!

"Since you are asking for your death! Then pay for your sins and go to hell!"

By holding out his hand to support the horned mask on his face, Bastille's aura instantly rushed towards Akira. A majestic aura exploded on one side.
