Chapter 522: Akainu
People kept discussing, but Naito, standing in the lounge’s center, didn’t seem to be hearing them.
His sword intent that was raised to the sky became more and more condensed, and the edge of his sword was getting sharper and sharper.
Naito’s realm was initially above everything in this world. Although Naito didn’t have a deep understanding of this world’s swordsmanship, he gradually comprehended its essence after continuously experiencing multiple sword intents.
Ordinary people, and even swordsmen with unusual talents, such as Zoro, can understand the essence of swordsmanship and reach its pinnacle quickly.
But Naito can!
Even the realm of the great swordsman can’t be on the same foot as Naito. If Naito is standing on the reachable sky, then the great swordsman’s realm is at most standing on the top of a mountain.
The mountains are high but also short, perhaps the highest of them can touch the clouds, but they’re still a long distance away from the sky.
However, just when Naito had clearly grasped the essence of swordsmanship and was about to step into the realm of the great swordsman, an angry voice suddenly emitted in the field.
“What… What are you doing?”
This voice was filled with anger and even instantly raised the entire lounge’s temperature by several degrees, and a feeling of scorching heat spread instantly.
All the marines who were talking, including the Vice Admirals, fell silent and turned their heads to look back.
What they saw at the very rear of the crowd and precisely at the entrance of the lounge, a tall man wearing the marines’ white cloak walking in. It was Akainu!
Everyone was hushed.
The silence controlled the entire room. Even the sound of a needle falling to the ground could be heard at that moment.
In the next moment, all the marines finally reacted and saluted Akainu, who came in.
“Admiral Sakazuki!”
Akainu ignored the salutes of the soldiers and looked at the row of the Vice Admirals angrily.
“You guys, what kind of place do you think this is?!”
“It’s fine if it’s some new recruits messing around. You’re all dignified Vice Admirals, yet you’re ignoring the rules and doing whatever you want?!”
Akainu’s tone heated; Vice Admirals fighting in the lounge as if they were those savage pirates, he really couldn’t stand it.
It would have been okay if they were playing cards and chatting in the lounge. But fighting each other? Why don’t you use such strength to catch more pirates?!
Momonga and the others looked at each other with a bit of embarrassment. It was indeed a bit wrong what happened here in the lounge, but everyone seemed to have realized this just now and subconsciously regarded this as a training ground of the marines.
Akainu scolded Momonga and the others, then turned to look at Naito, and anger burned in his eyes.
According to the news he received, the one who caused this situation was Naito.
In Akainu’s opinion, Naito’s behavior is simply pirate-like!
He tied with Mihawk, and after joining the marines, he immediately became a Vice Admiral. But that wasn’t the only thing, Sengoku has even given him special status, and now even an Admiral can order him.
If Garp, who had several opportunities to become an Admiral but refused, was offered such a status, he would be completely fine with it.
But why would they give it to someone who doesn’t even know what justice is?!
Moreover, after Naito joined the marines, he didn’t do anything for an entire month. He just occasionally consulted various materials of the Marineford and had no intention to go out to the sea and perform missions or fight pirates.
In Akainu’s view, he’s not worthy to even become a simple soldier!
Akainu already regards him as Shichibukai, just like Mihawk.
As an admiral, he can’t order him around because of his status, but this time, Naito was the center of this incident. It’s just the best chance for him to teach Naito how things work here. This isn’t a free sea!
Akainu stared at him coldly, then walked through the crowd straight toward Naito, and said: “It was you who caused this incident. Fighting allies in such a place. Do you know exactly where this is?!”
Naito’s sword intent that converged and rose to the sky, and was about to become one with his body, then steps into a higher level, was interrupted by Akainu.
At this time, Naito finally turned his head and looked at Akainu, but there was a hint of indifference in his eyes when he said, “So what if I know?”
Naito didn’t bother to continue the process after being interrupted by him and dissipated his sword intent.
With that, the pressure that controlled the place for a while was also lifted.
But Naito’s words made everyone looked dumbfounded.
Naito’s tone was more than unfriendly. It’s simply a taste of contempt and provocation!
However, the one standing in front of Naito wasn’t a Vice Admiral, but an Admiral!
How dare he talk like this to an Admiral, isn’t he afraid?!
Even Momonga and the others were shocked, especially when they thought of how angry he could be. Everyone couldn’t help but look at each other.
They were afraid that Naito now will be in big trouble!
Naito’s words have also made Akainu stunned for a while, and even his strong presence faded for a moment.
But in the next, Akainu’s heart suddenly burst with monstrous anger, and the entire lounge seemed to suddenly turn into a hot stove!
“Do you know who you’re talking to?!”
Drops of magma began to drip off Akainu’s clenched fist and fell on the stone floor with a sizzling sound, then the wood chips around them ignited instantly.
At this moment, the ordinary marines were sweating profusely because of the heat, and they quite the lounge hurriedly one after another. Only the Vice Admirals remained there, but their faces were also full of awe.
“Oh? And who are you?”
After hearing Akainu’s words, Naito took out the Kusanagi no Tsurugi and waved it casually, then gave him a faint glance.
Akainu was stunned again. He felt the anger heating up in his heart, and his blood boiled!
Who is here?! He’s one of the Three Admirals of the Marineford!
And since the day he becomes an Admiral, he has never met someone who looked at him this carelessly as if he was looking at a passer-by. And the guy even dared to ask who he is!
Just by hearing these words echoing in his mind, Akainu wanted to pierce Naito’s chest with his bare hands and watch him suffocating while blood is pouring out of his mouth.
Those vice admiral who originally wanted to help Naito by middling in and talk him out of this situation were left dumbfounded. They never expected that Naito wouldn’t even give him a bit of face.
This is really bad.
Feeling Akainu’s anger and the terrifying temperature raising, there was a trace of horror in the Vice Admirals’ eyes, and they didn’t even dare to speak.
Because this time, Akainu seemed to have turned into a gunpowder keg that can explode at any moment.
Everyone trembled with fear as if they already see the scene where Akainu pierces Naito’s chest with anger and even causes extensive damage to the Marineford.
