Chapter 57 – The Fury of a Yonko, Charlotte Linlin!
"Robbery?"
Monkey D. Dragon's face darkened instantly.
As the leader of the Revolutionary Army, he had sailed the seas for decades—an existence that even the Five Elders treated with caution.
When was the last time he had been toyed with like this?
"Akira."
Dragon's voice dropped, heavy and dangerous.
"Are you… serious?"
"I already said it's a robbery. How could it be fake?"
Akira shrugged, his expression calm and relaxed.
"The money, I took it."
"The people, I took them too."
"And the ship? I'm keeping it."
He arrogantly pointed at the deck beneath his feet.
"If this isn't robbery, then what is?"
"You bastard!!!"
A furious roar exploded beside Dragon!
Sabo, the young and hot-blooded Chief of Staff of the Revolutionary Army, finally snapped!
"Don't underestimate people too much!!"
"Hah—!"
Jet-black Haki surged out, coating both of his hands!
His pride—Dragon Claw!
"Dragon Claw!!!"
Sabo lunged forward like a raging young dragon, carrying momentum that seemed capable of tearing everything apart as he charged straight at that shameless bastard!
He wanted to smash that arrogant face to pieces!
Facing Sabo's all-out attack, Akira didn't dodge.
He didn't even raise his hands.
He simply looked at Sabo calmly charging at him, then suddenly opened his mouth.
"By the way, Sabo."
"I forgot to tell you something."
"That brainless brother of yours, Ace."
"He's on this island right now."
"What?!"
Sabo's unstoppable attack froze in midair!
"Ace?!"
"That's right."
Akira grinned widely, revealing a devilish smile.
"He's working for me now."
"Once I capture you…"
"You two brothers can finally be reunited."
"And then…"
Akira's voice dripped with cruel intent, stabbing straight into the heart.
"You'll take turns heating the steam boiler."
"You brothers can work together to pay off my debt."
"Doesn't that sound wonderful?"
"You—!"
Sabo was completely shaken, his mind in chaos!
At that moment—
"Get lost."
Akira moved.
Smack—!!!!
A familiar slap, simple and unadorned, landed once again!
No flashy technique.
Just absolute, crushing power!
Ugh!!
Sabo didn't even have time to scream.
His entire body was sent flying like a spinning top, rotating wildly as he was blasted away!
Boom!!
He smashed headfirst into the hard ground of the harbor!
Only his legs were left sticking out, twitching unconsciously.
Knocked out on the spot!
"Sabo!!!"
Dragon's pupils shrank sharply!
Seeing Sabo instantly incapacitated, the always-calm leader finally lost his composure!
"Akira!!!"
"Hah—!!!!"
The heavens and earth changed color!
A violent gale roared to life!
Dragon unleashed the awakened power of the Wind-Wind Fruit!
A terrifying storm, powerful enough to obliterate the harbor, instantly formed above the sea!
Dragon wanted to protect himself and save Sabo!
"I can't fight him head-on!!"
His thoughts were crystal clear.
"The only option is to grab them and escape!!"
"Run away?"
Akira's voice sounded like a ghost, whispering right beside his ear.
"Impossible."
Whoosh!
Akira's figure vanished instantly!
After five hundred attribute enhancements, his speed had reached a level that even Dragon's Observation Haki couldn't track!
Coupled with resistance to Observation Haki—
In Dragon's perception, Akira was nothing but pure emptiness!
By the time Dragon reacted, Akira's fist had already slammed into his abdomen.
"Too slow."
"Bam!!!!"
A terrifying impact exploded!
Akira deliberately held back, worried about damaging this important "head of the human resources department."
Even so—
Dragon felt as if a meteor had smashed straight into his body!
"Puh—wa—!!"
Fresh blood sprayed violently from Dragon's mouth!
In that single instant, he felt countless bones throughout his body shatter!
The storm he had just gathered was completely blown apart by that one punch!
"I… I absolutely won't—"
Dragon forced out his remaining breath, trying to gather the storm again, planning to whip up the sea and drown Dressrosa!
But Akira was already standing in front of him once more.
"Save your strength, Revolutionary."
Akira chuckled softly.
"If you keep resisting, you'll just break more bones."
He leaned close to Dragon's ear and whispered in a devilish voice.
"And then…"
"Your medical bills…"
"Will get much more expensive."
"Interest included."
"You—"
Dragon didn't even get a chance to react.
Smack!
Akira flicked his hand, another slap flying out!
Dragon's eyes rolled back as his body fell from the air.
Boom!
With perfect precision, he was planted straight into the ground right next to Sabo.
Teacher and student, lying neatly side by side.
"Huh…"
Akira clapped his hands, then shouted toward Doflamingo, who had been watching intently.
"Mingo! Get over here and clean this up!"
"Take both of them for treatment!"
"Remember! Use the most expensive medicine! Put them in the most expensive rooms!"
"This is the leader of the Revolutionary Army—he's loaded!"
"Squeeze him dry!"
…
After dealing with the Revolutionary Army,
Akira suddenly remembered something else.
"Oh right, Mingo."
"Have you already sent someone to inform Big Mom?"
"Tell her to come redeem those three useless pieces of trash."
Doflamingo wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and spoke very carefully.
"About that, Lord Akira."
"At first, I arranged for Marco to go."
"But…"
"After Ace woke up, he insisted on going alone."
"He said Marco is a doctor and should stay behind to take care of my old father."
"He said he's thick-skinned and tough, perfect for running small errands."
"…"
Akira remained silent.
"Did you tell him?"
"That leaving his post without permission would extend his term by one year?"
"I told him!" Mingo looked miserable. "But he still insisted on going! I couldn't stop him!"
"Tsk tsk."
Akira shook his head helplessly.
"That kid really loves Whitebeard."
"Fine, let him go."
"The important thing is luring that crazy woman, Big Mom, over here."
"What a pity…"
"Sabo won't be able to see his beloved brother for a while!"
…
At the same time.
Totto Land, Whole Cake Island.
Ace stood atop his small flame boat, stopping arrogantly at the edge of Big Mom's territory.
Facing Perospero and Big Mom's other children, his attitude was outrageously arrogant!
After all, having just been beaten half to death by Akira, his anger had nowhere else to go!
"Hey! You idiots who play with candy!"
Ace snorted and shouted loudly.
"Go tell Charlotte Linlin!"
"Your three Sweet Commanders have been captured by our boss, Akira!"
"Want to redeem them?"
"Bring 5 billion Berries! Not one less!"
He looked at Big Mom's furious children with disdain.
"What are you staring at?"
"A bunch of weaklings!"
…
Inside Whole Cake Chateau.
"Ma—ma ma ma ma!!"
BIG MOM, Charlotte Linlin, her eyes glowing with a terrifying red light!
"This is outrageous!!!"
"So Dressrosa has sided with Whitebeard!!"
She roared with burning fury!
"They didn't just capture my three commanders!"
"They even dared send a low-ranked division captain to challenge me?!"
"My children!!"
Big Mom issued her command!
"Capture that Fire Fist Ace for me!!"
"Bring him here!"
"I will personally go to Dressrosa!!"
"I'll tear Akira apart and grind Whitebeard's people into meat paste with nothing left behind!!"
