The owner of this voice was naturally Shanks...
As one of the Four Emperors, Shanks' prestige was unimaginable.
Moreover, with his crew of monstrous strength, no one would dare to provoke them casually.
Even Marine Headquarters would not want to engage in battle with them unless there was a direct conflict.
At this moment, everyone's faces changed.
They never expected that just as Akainu expressed his desire to capture Luffy, before Garp could even speak, Shanks, one of the Four Emperors, would be the first to speak.
Everyone became curious, wondering what the relationship between the two was.
Of course, their astonishment did not end there...
From the words spoken by Akainu, they learned that Luffy was actually... the grandson of Marine Hero Garp?
And the leader of the Revolutionary Army, who made the World Government uneasy, Dragon, was actually his father?
So the three of them... were actually a family?
Everyone was dumbfounded...
It was common knowledge in the Marines, and even among many great pirates, that Dragon was Garp's son.
However, to be honest, the fact that Luffy was Garp's grandson...
Aside from the people of Fushia Village and some Marines with good relations with Garp, almost no one knew.
So even fewer people knew that the leader of the Revolutionary Army, Dragon, was Luffy's father...
Even all the members of the Straw Hat Pirates were stunned.
It turns out that the background of their future captain was so powerful?
If it weren't for the all-crew call, with Akainu's words spreading across various regions, everyone might still be unaware of this relationship.
This family's background... was too damn strong, right?
One was a hero in the Marines whose prestige surpassed that of the Fleet Admiral!
One was the leader of the Revolutionary Army that stood against the World Government!
And another was a pirate with unlimited potential, who had already defeated two of the Seven Warlords of the Sea during his growth period...
Not only was this family's background strong, but their strength was also impressive, and each had their own faction, one for each person!
Goodness gracious...
At this moment, not to mention the countless pirates and Marines who were astonished, even the numerous officers of the Revolutionary Army Headquarters were dumbfounded, instantly looking towards Dragon.
Dragon: "..."
But he didn't pay attention and continued to focus on the Den Den Mushi in his hand.
Although he hadn't returned home or taken care of his son for many years.
It was because he had greater responsibilities, and he still cared deeply about Luffy in his heart.
If Akainu dared to go to Fushia Village to arrest Luffy, he would definitely not sit idly by!
Either send someone to take Luffy away first, or... fight!
He wouldn't mind comparing himself with the strongest of the Three Admirals to see who was stronger!
But now, since someone had spoken up first, he should try not to reveal his identity as much as possible...
At the same time, there was another person who shared the same thoughts as Dragon.
The Whitebeard Pirates!
Whitebeard looked at Ace, who was still happily chatting privately with Luffy in the corner, and the corners of his mouth slightly lifted.
Ace was his "son" and family!
What he cared about most was his family, and if Akainu wanted to hurt Ace's brother...
He wouldn't mind using the power of his pirate crew to help Luffy, especially since...
If it weren't for Luffy, his old wounds wouldn't have healed.
He had just recovered his peak strength and wanted to have a fight to warm up. Both emotionally and logically, he should help Luffy. But since Shanks spoke first, he didn't need to be the one to stick his neck out.
"Shanks..."
"You actually know Ace's brother too?"
"Interesting..."
At Marine Headquarters, Akainu's expression changed slightly upon hearing Shanks' words. The Four Emperors... Shanks? He was prepared for Garp to stand in his way, but he never expected one of the Four Emperors to intervene. What was going on?
In an instant, Akainu's train of thought was disrupted. Not only Akainu, but also Sengoku, Kuzan, Kizaru, and even the nearby Warlords of the Sea were all dumbfounded. The only one who understood the reason was Garp.
He clenched his fists, his teeth gritted. That damned Shanks! If it weren't for him, his grandson wouldn't have wanted to become a pirate. Even if Luffy's decision to become a pirate wasn't entirely due to Shanks, his influence was undeniable.
He should have dealt with Shanks when he first arrived in the East Blue. After a long while, Akainu finally spoke.
"Shanks, what does this have to do with you?"
Shanks replied with a gentle tone, "Hahaha, not much, I just happen to know Luffy!"
Akainu's face hardened, "If that's the case, stay out of it. His threat must be eliminated, and no one can stop it!"
Shanks' tone remained gentle, "You're a great admiral, why bother with a child? Just do me a favor and leave Luffy alone."
Akainu scoffed, "Do you a favor? What if... I don't?"
At this moment, the smile on Shanks' face disappeared, and his tone was no longer gentle but became cold and stern.
"If you don't do me this favor? Then I won't mind going to Fushia Village myself!"
"After all, my newly grown arm is eager for battle..."
With these words, the world was stunned! Shanks' statement was undoubtedly a public declaration of war against Akainu! If you don't do me this favor, I'll deal with you! It was that simple and straightforward!
Such a temperament was worthy of one of the Four Emperors, daring to provoke even an admiral of the Marines! Everyone was both impressed and fearful.
In an instant, everyone who had heard the conversation between the two had made a decision in their hearts. Marines, pirates, and countless forces knew that when they encountered Shanks and heard him say, "Do me a favor," they must, under any circumstances, give him that favor. Absolutely, without question!
