Akainu looked at Luffy, still holding his gaze. "This is the first time we've met, Pirate Monkey D. Luffy!" Akainu spoke while growling, his cigar emitting an even more intense smoke with his words.

"True. I didn't imagine we would meet so soon, Admiral Akainu," Luffy said, without a hint of fear.

He turned to the others behind the admiral, Vice-Admiral Tsuru positioned herself alongside her colleagues while Akainu led the negotiation as the admiral.

"At the same time, I can say the same about all of you, even though I don't know the vast majority, but it's good to see you again, Vice-Admiral Momonga." Luffy spoke calmly as if he were in a pub with friends rather than in front of dozens of people who wanted to kill him.

All the admirals were looking, keeping a neutral face to Luffy's words, but curious as they looked not just at Luffy, but the entire group behind him. Except for the princess of Alabasta, all the pirates maintained a rather calm look towards the admirals.

While the high-ranking navy members maintained an alert stance to engage in combat with the pirate group at any moment, the same could be said of the pirates, closely watching for any movement from the group.

It was a unique sight as the sailors saw these groups facing each other.

"Admirals and Vice-Admirals on one side and the Straw Hat pirates on the other..." Coby commented from a distance as he stood in the crowd with all the other elite sailors.

"Luffy..." Lucy looked at her brother from a distance leading his group and exchanging a few words with the navy. Luffy had also felt Lucy's presence from that distance among the sailors, but he just smiled thinking of his sister, he had something more important to deal with now.

"This..." Coby suddenly saw a strange movement and Lucy noticed it too.

A bit close to the vice-admirals, CP9 was also gathered, as Spandam wanted to be part of this war and earn his own merits. He was looking from a distance, eager to act quickly to get his credits, then saw when Luffy exchanged some words with the navy members trying to find a chance to defeat him and come out with a promotion from Enies Lobby.

He looked intently as he touched his pistol at his waist loaded with Seastone bullets. The other vice-admirals noticed this with their Observation Haki, and the same could be said for the pirates. But nobody cared.

"What is he doing?" Jabra asked, bewildered. He wanted to laugh at Lucci being treated like a prisoner, but saw that these two groups were so powerful that he couldn't even breathe, after all, he had to acknowledge Rob Lucci's strength and seeing him so easily defeated was a warning of how powerful their enemies were. But seeing Spandam's movement, he frowned.

"I don't know, but it wouldn't be good," said another CP9 member, Fukurou, fearfully.

"I'm going to be promoted!!" Spandam shouted and wasted no time. He gripped the handle of his pistol and drew it, aiming directly at Luffy. However, before he could squeeze the trigger, Luffy just looked at him for a moment and, in a glance, launched waves of the Conqueror's Haki directly at him while the space seemed to change color on another plane. The wave passed through Spartan as his eyes turned white and he dropped the gun, falling unconscious the next moment.

"Conqueror's Haki," said one of the vice-admirals.

"What did you expect? Look at his record, look at his family," another vice-admiral shrugged.
