Akainu plunged headlong into madness!
Behold Luffy's dazzling bounty of 1.5 billion in the image.
He couldn't fathom the bounties he would amass in the future if given the chance to grow unchecked.
Currently, the Straw Hat lad's growth knows no bounds, far surpassing expectations unbeknownst to him!
Thus, he must intervene, regardless of the cost!
He cannot allow Luffy to burgeon into an unstoppable force. By then, it will be too late!
The Fifth Emperor of the Sea? Preposterous!
Under no circumstances shall he permit his ascension!
Akainu understood that reporting to Sengoku to dispatch troops for Luffy's capture would likely meet resistance.
After all, facing Garp, he wished to avoid another confrontation.
It's not just a waste of time; with Garp's ever-strengthening Haki and overwhelming might, he may indeed be unbeatable!
Thus, at this juncture, Akainu conceived a daring plan.
If it's for justice, why not dispatch troops without reporting?
Even if it leads to his demotion, slaying the Straw Hat boy then would outweigh any consequences. As for Garp... he doubted Garp would dare execute him in public.
With resolve firm as stone, Akainu decided that he would immediately rally his subordinates, locate Luffy, and swiftly execute him!
The Luffy depicted in the image is already on par with the Four Emperors.
But presently, he lacks the qualifications.
With sheer might alone, Akainu sought to vanquish them all on the spot, without any tricks...
And so, Akainu sprang into action.
Meanwhile, Garp, Sengoku, Aokiji, Kizaru, and the others remained fixated on the spectacle above, lost in astonishment.
They failed to notice Akainu's departure.
Yet, at that very moment, the Den Den Mushi belonging to the Fleet Admiral before the Admirals suddenly clamored to life, seizing everyone's attention. Typically, such a call heralded significant developments!
"Hello?"
Sengoku answered the phone promptly. "What's the matter?"
As the call echoed through the room, everyone in the conference hall could hear it clearly. With the Shichibukai already departed, there were only Admirals left, so there was no need to be discreet.
"Fleet Admiral, the navy stationed in Totto Land territory has reported back."
"All members of the Big Mom Pirates have been mobilized. Led by Big Mom herself, they've left the territory of Totto Land!"
The announcement ignited a flurry of reactions from everyone present. Even Akainu, who was on the verge of leaving, froze in his tracks.
"What?"
"The entire Big Mom Pirates are on the move?"
"Where are they headed, and what's their objective? Do we have any intel on this?"
Sengoku furrowed his brow, directing his inquiry to the Third Company, which bore the responsibility of gathering information.
After all, Big Mom was one of the Four Emperors, reigning as a formidable force in the sea, and if she led her entire crew into action, any kingdom or island could easily fall victim.
Furthermore, it was unusual for all the forces of a Yonko to be deployed at once. There had to be a significant reason behind it.
"Fleet Admiral, we're still gathering information!"
"But based on initial reports, Big Mom was seen on the ship's bow, visibly enraged!"
"Given the circumstances..."
"It appears they're setting out to pursue the Straw Hat Pirates!"
The words struck like thunder, sending shockwaves through the assembly.
"What!?"
Both Garp and Akainu were incredulous, their expressions shifting drastically.
Their reactions, however, were polar opposites. Garp's shock was tinged with worry. After all, Big Mom was not just any pirate; she was one of the Four Emperors. The thought of her targeting his grandson was deeply unsettling.
Could Luffy handle this threat with his current strength?
Against foes like Big Mom and Katakuri, not to mention the weakest of the three Sweet Commanders, Cracker, would he stand a chance?
If he really lets him go, would Luffy still have a way to survive?
Meanwhile, Akainu was exceedingly thrilled...
This truly serves as a pillow for the weary!
Initially, he believed that even if he were disciplined, survival would be improbable. He must deal with the Straw Hat Boy directly.
Terminate this threat outright!
Little did he expect Big Mom to take the initiative, rallying her entire pirate crew with her formidable strength.
The Straw Hat Boy likely wouldn't hold out for long, so it's best to observe for now, refraining from immediate action.
After all, considering Straw Hat Boy's background, it would be quite troublesome to eliminate him. Now that Big Mom, one of the Four Emperors, is intervening, even if he were to eliminate Straw Hat Boy, the wrath of powerful figures like Whitebeard, Shanks, and even Garp... would be inevitable!
Perhaps she, along with the other in her crew, will face obliteration later!
This outcome is truly optimal!
For a moment, Akainu hesitated. He abandoned the notion of immediate action.
He resolved to remain at Navy Headquarters and witness the clash between Big Mom and the Straw Hat Boy. News of this spreads to Navy Headquarters!
Simultaneously, on another front... across the waters of Totto Land!
A grand vessel adorned like a confection, adorned with extravagant embellishments, swiftly sails!
In its wake, countless pirate crews follow, teeming with buccaneers. Without a doubt, this is the Big Mom Pirate Crew!
Big Mom was stationed at the prow of the ship, her countenance ominous and fearsome!
Above her, Prometheus and Zeus unleash lightning and flames.
It appears they're venting Big Mom's pent-up fury...
Katakuri and the other three Sweet Commanders are also fully mobilized, standing alongside Big Mom.
Naturally, numerous influential dignitaries from Totto Land are present!
At this moment, they're fully engaged, united in the pursuit of Straw Hat alongside Big Mom.
Though these events unfold in the future, there's no denying their destructive impact on Whole Cake Island, the defeat of numerous influential officials from Totto Land, and their ultimate unscathed escape... The Straw Hat Pirates undeniably confront myriad challenges. They trample upon the sovereignty of Totto Land!
They trample upon the sovereignty of the Four Emperors!
Thus, regardless, the Big Mom Pirates must eradicate this disgrace!
Even if Katakuri harbors reluctance, as the Sweet Commander, he'll be compelled to join aboard the ship. As one of the Four Emperors, the Big Mom Pirates boast an extensive reach across the seas, with ample surveillance!
Thus, they can easily pinpoint the Straw Hat Pirates' location, and presently, they've obtained their whereabouts.
Swiftly, they surge towards it...
Big Mom standing at the ship's bow, her visage furious and ferocious!
"Straw Hat, I'm coming for you."
"If you dare disturb my territory, then you must be prepared to perish!"
"I shan't afford you the opportunity to mature to that extent..."
