They were curious to see how this "audacious" Navy officer would respond—would he refuse the Celestial Dragon's demand again?
Kai naturally didn't disappoint them.
Kai looked at Saint Charlos with an indifferent expression and spoke: "Hmm... if you insist on understanding it that way, then yes."
Kai's gaze toward Saint Charlos was filled with contempt, as if looking at a crawling insect.
"Damn you! How dare you! How dare you!!"
Saint Charlos was furious, as if he had suffered tremendous humiliation. As a Celestial Dragon, when had he ever been treated this way since birth?
This was!
Absolutely! Absolutely!!
Intolerable!!!
"Go die, you damn Navy dog!!" Saint Charlos drew a pistol from his waist, aimed it at Kai, and directly pulled the trigger.
Bang!
Fire flashed as the bullet shot straight toward Kai.
"This Navy Rear Admiral really doesn't know his place, daring to defy a Celestial Dragon."
"Exactly, now he's dead for sure."
"Did he think being a Navy Rear Admiral made him special?"
Just when everyone around thought Kai would die in the next moment, Kai suddenly moved!
He quickly raised his right hand, flicked his index finger, and the bullet aimed at him was directly deflected. By sheer coincidence, the bullet Kai deflected struck Saint Charlos's bubble helmet.
Pop.
Saint Charlos's bubble helmet was directly punctured by the bullet, exposing his head to the air.
"You... how dare you fight back!?"
Saint Charlos was shocked, unable to believe what had just happened.
"He... he actually attacked a Celestial Dragon! Isn't he afraid of the World Government's retaliation!?" This was a noble's reaction.
"Damn it, I need to get out of here quickly, or I'll be dragged into this mess. I still have so much money left to spend." This was a wealthy man's thought.
"Has this Navy Rear Admiral gone mad? This is bad! A Navy Admiral will come soon—run!" Obviously, this was a pirate's reaction.
Saint Charlos was first stunned, then filled with endless rage.
The Navy, whom he had always considered his dogs, actually dared to attack him! And it was just a mere Rear Admiral—even the three Navy Admirals were respectful when they saw him!
Today... today...
Saint Charlos thought about how everything that happened today would become ammunition for other Celestial Dragons to mock him, making him even more furious. He glared at Kai and roared:
"Bastard! You lowly commoner dare to lay hands on me, a Celestial Dragon! We are descendants of the Creator! I'll make you pay a terrible price!!"
Saint Charlos pulled out a Den Den Mushi from his pocket and shouted:
"Calling Navy Headquarters! Someone on Sabaody Archipelago has attacked me, Saint Charlos! Navy Headquarters, quickly dispatch a Navy Admiral to handle this!"
Navy Headquarters, Marineford.
Sengoku looked at the intelligence reports in his hands with a headache.
In the New World, the Whitebeard Pirates and Beast Pirates were fighting again. The reason for the battle was absurd—apparently Kaido wanted to die.
The Red-Haired Pirates and Big Mom Pirates were also at war, for an even more ridiculous reason. Charlotte Linlin claimed there was a delicious donut shop in Shanks's territory that she wanted to steal.
"These damn bastards!" Sengoku gritted his teeth.
Just then, a dark blue Den Den Mushi on his desk suddenly rang.
Sengoku frowned, knowing this Den Den Mushi was exclusively for contacting Celestial Dragons, and nothing good ever came from its calls.
Sure enough, Saint Charlos's roaring voice immediately came through:
"Calling Navy..."
After hearing Saint Charlos's rant, Sengoku's expression changed. He had thought it was just a minor incident, but someone had actually dared to attack a Celestial Dragon.
However, hadn't Kai already eliminated all the pirates on Sabaody Archipelago? Then who could have attacked the Celestial Dragon?
Without much thought, Sengoku picked up another Den Den Mushi and asked: "Rear Admiral Kai, what's happening on Sabaody Archipelago? Someone attacked a Celestial Dragon!?"
Meanwhile, on Sabaody Archipelago, Kai pulled out his vibrating Den Den Mushi from his pocket. Hearing Sengoku's inquiry, he spoke calmly:
"Yes, I'm well aware of this incident, because I'm the one who did it."
The voice from the Den Den Mushi stopped abruptly. In the Fleet Admiral's office at Navy Headquarters, Sengoku looked stunned—Kai's brief words contained quite a lot of information.
The Navy attacking a Celestial Dragon!?
This hadn't happened in eight hundred years!
"Rear Admiral Kai, do you know what you're doing? Quickly apologize to the Celestial Dragon!" Sengoku roared.
Kai spoke with an indifferent expression: "I certainly know what I'm doing. As for apologizing? Sorry, Fleet Admiral Sengoku, I don't have the habit of apologizing to trash. And if he keeps making noise in front of me, I don't know what I might do next."
"Rear Admiral Kai, you..."
Before Sengoku could finish speaking, Kai directly crushed the Den Den Mushi in his hand.
Crackling sounds came from Sengoku's Den Den Mushi. Sengoku was stunned, then his expression darkened as he shouted loudly: "Borsalino!"
As Sengoku's words fell, a golden light flashed in the Fleet Admiral's office.
Kizaru, wearing a yellow suit and toad-like sunglasses, appeared before Sengoku and asked with a sleazy expression: "Oh, Fleet Admiral. What's the matter?"
"Now! Immediately! At once! Go to Sabaody Archipelago—Kai has attacked a Celestial Dragon." Sengoku spoke with an ugly expression.
"What!?"
Kizaru was also stunned, then smiled: "Oh my, Kai is quite something. So Fleet Admiral, how should I handle him?"
Hearing Kizaru's question, Sengoku didn't hesitate and spoke directly: "Kai has always been a Navy Rear Admiral. Understand?"
"Oh, understood." The slippery Kizaru naturally understood the meaning behind Sengoku's words, though he hadn't expected Kai to hold such weight in Sengoku's heart.
