Press Conference—
Hearing Akihiro's words, everyone started clapping. He then said, "Next question please."
A man rose from his seat and asked, "Greetings everyone, I'm Higurashi Shin. My question is for Mr. Shiki. As we heard from His Highness that you might decline your spot if your opponent is too weak. Can you please elaborate on what level of opponent will you would consider fighting?"
Shiki replied, "I will only fight if my opponent is at least as strong as those Navy Admirals or that Moryo guy otherwise it'll not be worth my time. Anyways, I have taken permission from His Highness beforehand. Also, Garp's brat is more than enough to take care of anyone below Admiral level within a few moves."
Everyone nodded understandably as they knew that many strong men had their pride. They wouldn't fight against enemies much weaker than them and they've already seen Luffy fighting against Sakazuki so they knew that he was far stronger than your average S-Rank shinobi and most probably even the Kages.
As the meeting continued, another journalist asked Akainu, "Fleet Admiral Sakazuki, what is your opinion on the tournament?"
Sakazuki answered, "We are fighting to bring peace throughout the world on His Highness Shimizu's command and we will succeed. That's all I have to say."
The press conference continued as the Kirigakure elders and the seven swordsmen also gave their opinions and expressed their desires to fight for a peaceful future for the future generations.
At last, a journalist asked a question for Luffy, "Mr. Monkey D. Luffy, what are your views about the tournament?"
Luffy replied with a smile, "I wanna have fun fighting strong enemies!"
With this, the press conference ended. Akihiro called Luffy and Garp for a surprise. Seeing this, all the high-ranking Marines followed him. Luffy started crying as he saw the person coming towards them while Garp also had a few tears along with a smile on his face.
This person was the son of Gol D. Roger and Portgas D. Rouge, Luffy's sworn brother, Portgas D. Ace. Seeing Ace alive, they both were extremely happy.
Due to the press conference, his popularity has risen enough to afford a high-level recruitment order. He used a high-level world recruitment order and got 'Fire Fist' Portgas D. Ace.
Luffy started running towards Ace while screaming, "ACE!!!"
Ace too hugged Luffy with a smile on his face and then Garp took them both aside for some talk while Sengoku was also a little surprised. He saw this as an opportunity to mend the relationship between Garp & Luffy and Sakazuki now that Ace was here.
Although Garp never really hated Sakazuki for killing Ace but it was true that there he still had some resentment for the Marines and even himself in his heart. Now that Ace was summoned here by Akihiro, he was also happy.
Next, Vice Admiral Tsuru called for a meeting to decide who would attend the tournament and who would be left to guard the World Government's territory.
This was very important as they had to guarantee the safety of their own territory when they decided to host a tournament in the Land of Fire. They would become a laughingstock if any idiot decides to attack their territory and succeeds.
