"That's roughly how it went." Garp looked at the Den Den Mushi in his hand, his voice trembling slightly.
One could imagine Garp's current state of mind was far from calm.
Meanwhile, at Marine Headquarters, the Fleet Admiral's office.
Sengoku gazed at the Den Den Mushi on his desk, finally letting out a sigh. "Tell them, we agree."
As soon as he spoke, Sengoku hung up the phone.
Garp put away the Den Den Mushi, turned to Ye Chen, and said, "We agreed."
Ye Chen's face showed a hint of a smile upon hearing this. "At least you're sensible."
Garp remained silent.
Zephyr lay weakly on the ground, his eyes filled with sorrow as he looked at Garp.
As Garp's old friend of several decades, he knew very well that Garp was currently in agony.
He had never bowed his head before, even when facing the Pirate King Gol D. Roger, but this time, he had to for Zephyr and Kizaru.
Only for them.
Kizaru had already fainted from excessive blood loss.
About half an hour later, Sengoku and Akainu led a group of Marines over.
Upon arrival, Sengoku saw Zephyr and Kizaru's severe injuries and sternly said, "Medics!"
As soon as he spoke, the Marines behind him parted to form a passage, and dozens of medics carried stretchers and walked over.
"Hold on." Suddenly, a voice rang out. Ye Chen and Esdeath blocked the medics' path.
"The goods," Ye Chen said to Sengoku.
"Impudent!" Akainu immediately took a step forward upon hearing this, sternly reprimanding Ye Chen, "Get out of the way!"
Ye Chen's expression changed upon hearing this, and he said coldly, "Osiris."
Roar roar roar.
Hearing the command, Osiris extended its giant claw, like a sky-obscuring behemoth, grabbing towards Akainu.
Seeing Osiris's giant claw, Akainu's expression changed, and his entire body began to emit steam.
Immediately, his right arm lifted, lava burning with flames, glowing red like a blazing sun, meeting Osiris's attack.
Pfft.
The lava giant hand did not cause any damage to Osiris; instead, it extinguished the lava.
Seeing his attack fail, Akainu's pupils instantly constricted. He instinctively used his Logia transformation to try and escape.
However, the giant claw, shrouded in hazy divine power, directly nullified Akainu's Logia transformation, firmly grasping him and pulling him into the air.
"How is this possible?" Akainu's face greatly changed, looking at Osiris with disbelief.
He was very certain that this dragon had no Armament Haki.
Why could it nullify his Logia transformation without Haki? Akainu racked his brains but couldn't figure it out.
"What do you mean, Sengoku?" Ye Chen squinted his eyes, looking at Sengoku, and said coldly.
"This is a misunderstanding," Sengoku replied.
Sengoku now regretted it somewhat. He should have known better than to bring Akainu.
"Misunderstanding, hehe," Ye Chen sneered repeatedly.
Sengoku was now very anxious. Zephyr and Kizaru's injuries were too severe; if they delayed any longer, their lives would be in danger.
Sengoku picked up a treasure chest and said to Ye Chen, "Here are twenty Devil Fruits."
"Bring them over."
Sengoku walked over without hesitation and handed the treasure chest.
Ye Chen counted them, grabbed the treasure chest, and tossed it into the air. Osiris swallowed the treasure chest in one gulp.
"The Devil Fruits have been given to you, so can our medics pass now?" Sengoku said.
"Go ahead," Ye Chen raised an eyebrow, then said to Esdeath, "Let's go up."
"Osiris."
As soon as he spoke, Osiris lowered its head. Ye Chen and Esdeath jumped up and sat on its head.
"Ye Chen, since our transaction has been concluded, shouldn't Akainu be released?" Sengoku asked.
Ye Chen sat on Osiris's head, looking down at Sengoku, and said, "Releasing him is not impossible, but Akainu spoke rudely just now, so we must punish him a bit."
Sengoku's heart sank upon hearing this, and a bad premonition arose within him.
"Osiris, throw that trash into the sea," Ye Chen commanded.
Roar roar roar, Osiris growled.
Immediately, Osiris threw Akainu towards the sea. Akainu turned into a flash of light and disappeared from everyone's sight.
"Contact the Marines on the coast, search for Admiral Akainu's whereabouts with all your might," Sengoku said to a nearby Marine soldier.
"Since our deal is done, goodbye, Sengoku," Ye Chen let out a laugh. Osiris flapped its wings and disappeared into the horizon.
Looking at the gradually departing Osiris, Sengoku's face was as black as charcoal.
This time, they had truly suffered both loss of prestige and casualties. Zephyr and Kizaru were severely injured, and Akainu was thrown out, his life unknown.
Moreover, they had also lost 20 Devil Fruits.
On the other hand, Ye Chen's side suffered no damage and gained 20 Devil Fruits.
"Let's go, Sengoku," Garp said to Sengoku.
"Mm."
...........
As Osiris took off, unbeknownst to Sengoku and the others, Osiris transformed into a red light. It enveloped Esdeath and Ye Chen, flying towards the island where Rayleigh and the others were located.
