Akainu was in a foul mood. He felt exposed, as if someone had stripped him bare and examined him inside out, leaving no secrets in his heart. This unsettling feeling lingered even after he tentatively asked Kizaru and others, finding the same revelation..
Feeling low, he sought solace at the tavern, but upon entering, he was taken aback. The place seemed outlandish and surreal: a blond maid with a green tail, a sheep-hungry wolf that didn't resemble the Mink Tribe, weeping demons engaging in whispered conversations, and a blonde woman who referred to herself as "talent." This assortment challenged Akainu's understanding and worldview so profoundly that he overlooked Rayleigh's presence entirely.
"Ron, what's happening here?" Akainu asked with a deep voice, sensing a threat from these unfamiliar beings. His instinct kept him from getting too close.
"Don't worry, Mr. Akainu. These are just guests of the tavern; they're quite friendly," Ron explained calmly.
As Ron spoke, Shendu, Drago, and Big Big Wolf all turned towards Akainu, offering friendly grins that Rem and others found somewhat unsettling in their beauty.
After a brief moment of hesitation, Akainu found an empty seat at the bar and sat down. Soon, Tohru placed a bottle of wine in front of him, hiding his tail as he approached.
"Your wine. Enjoy it at your own pace," Tohru offered solemnly.
Akainu nodded and silently poured himself another glass of wine. He remained his usual self, avoiding unnecessary conversation or movements, fixating on the wine glass in his hand and drinking steadily, one glass after another.
Guysha, seeming to sense something, raised an eyebrow, remarking, "Oh... Has that 'Bitchi' already spread the corrupt notions of depravity and freedom in this world?" Ron merely nodded with a smile, refraining from further discussion, respecting the privacy of Morgana and Doflamingo, both guests.
Maintaining the tavern's decorum and boundaries as its owner.
"Let's conduct an experiment on this world," Guysha murmured intriguingly. "This world will eventually sink into unrestrained depravity and be unable to free itself, driving everyone to madness. Alternatively, a just order can lead people to a contented life."
Justice prevailing over evil, angels punishing demons—this served as one of the motives behind the Ten Thousand Years' play between Guysha and Morgana. Now that the seeds of depravity and freedom had been planted and were rapidly spreading, Guysha felt a responsibility to intervene.
Although her theocracy typically refrained from directly interfering with the governance of lower civilizations, she saw in Akainu a powerful enforcer of justice and order.
Ron cautioned, "Don't go too far."
Considering what might occur if Guysha's justice countered Morgana's spread of depravity and freedom, he wondered which philosophy the civilians would embrace.
Guysha assured, "Don't worry, I won't act as foolishly as that 'Bichi'." Turning her attention to Akainu, she crossed her legs and sighed softly, acknowledging, "Kid, I admire your sense of justice. With the seeds of depravity sown, justice must suppress this corrupt ideology."
Akainu remained aloof, displaying disgust. He disregarded Guysha's remarks, deeming her irrational. However, she continued, adding, "You might not comprehend my words, and the Marines might be unaware of Morgana's corrupted thoughts."
Guysha seemed to comprehend Akainu's thoughts and continued speaking without any sign of anger.
"To put it simply, I seek someone who spreads justice and order in this world. Among the Marines, your approach is intriguing. Sengoku from twenty years ago was also commendable, with his King's Justice. It's regrettable that upon rising in rank, he learned to balance and compromise, favoring moderation. It's absurd."
She emphasized the influence of different eras in shaping soldiers, affirming Akainu's perspective on justice. According to her, spreading their respective ideals across the globe was imperative, purifying the world of all wrongs and illuminating it with the order of justice.
Guysha's eyes held serenity, her voice resonating like a nun reciting scripture, exalting the concept of justice akin to praising a higher deity.
Akainu was momentarily stunned by her words. However, his Observation Haki revealed that Guysha was just an ordinary person.
This revelation caused a surge of veins on Akainu's forehead, a faint trace of anger flickering across his usually dark countenance. He disregarded Guysha's presence, redirecting his attention to the bar, questioning, "Was there a lunatic asylum on Sabaody Archipelago? Where did she come from?"
The tavern's occupants were caught off guard by Akainu's words. Rayleigh couldn't contain his laughter, openly chuckling, "Hahaha... Akainu, I'll mark my calendar; I'll be sure to weed your grave on this day next year."
Shendu also offered a piece of advice to his foolish son, cautioning him not to speak carelessly in the future. The effect of the soft-hearted spray persisted, prompting even the demon little dragon to tearfully acknowledge his father's advice.
Ron intervened with an explanation, saying, "She comes from another world."
Akainu appeared baffled, contemplating yet another eccentric presence. Today seemed to be nothing short of peculiar.
Guysha sighed lightly, expressing her original intention of wanting to keep her identity concealed and engage in a conversation as an ordinary individual. However, circumstances had changed, and she couldn't maintain that facade any longer.
With a gentle murmur, Guysha's back sprouted a pair of pure white wings. Her attire shifted from a white gilt battle skirt to a dark black armor, accompanied by an unfurling red cloak. This transformation exuded an aura of holiness and dominance that overwhelmed the tavern instantaneously.
This imposing presence was a form of punishment, a response to Akainu's earlier thoughts, pressing down on him with its force for a week. Akainu felt the weight of this punishment, his face reddening under the intense pressure as he struggled to catch his breath, muttering about a 'god' or 'angel' in disbelief.
For Akainu, encountering an angel seemed implausible, an existence confined to the pages of books rather than manifesting before him.
Simultaneously, Akainu grasped Guysha's underlying intent – to seek a believer, propagate the principles of justice, and annihilate corruption and freedom in their infancy.
When Guysha inquired whether Akainu still deemed her a 'crazy woman,' Akainu hesitated, eventually admitting, "No, you're not."
However, Akainu abruptly redirected the conversation, pointing at Shendu and his son, asking why, as an angel, she didn't eliminate the two demons in their presence.
Shendu and his son were bewildered by this sudden accusation, vehemently asserting their innocence, emphasizing their mere intention to drink quietly without causing any trouble.
