"Osiris, can you carry this pirate ship?" Ye Chen asked, looking down at Osiris, who was wrapped around him.
Osiris raised its head, looked at the Kuja Pirates' ship, and nodded slightly.
Seeing Osiris confirm, Ye Chen immediately ordered: "Carry that pirate ship on your back, and head back to Amazon Lily."
As his words fell, Osiris instantly flew from Ye Chen's body. In a flash, its body swelled hundreds of times larger, hovering in the air.
Osiris's sudden appearance, with its massive body, cast a shadow over the nearby area.
On the other side of the pier, Sengoku and Garp watched Zephyr and Kizaru being carried onto the ship, their faces filled with worry.
Just then, a cry of alarm rang out: "It's that red dragon."
Garp and Sengoku, standing on the pier, trembled instantly. They abruptly turned their heads and looked up at the sky.
In the direction of the west bank, an astonishingly large red dragon hovered in the air. Although it was too far away, Sengoku and Garp immediately recognized it as Ye Chen's mount.
Why could they recognize it at a glance? Because there was only one red dragon in the entire world.
"Ye Chen, what the hell is this bastard trying to do?" Sengoku's eyes blazed with fury, and he roared.
Sengoku hadn't expected Ye Chen, who had already left, to return the same way and descend upon the Sabaody Archipelago once more.
Last time, to make Ye Chen leave, they had already paid twenty Devil Fruits. Did they have to pay twenty more Devil Fruits this time?
"Sengoku, let's go over and take a look together." Garp clenched his fists, staring intently in Osiris's direction, saying in a deep voice.
Sengoku looked at Garp's solemn expression, somewhat startled. He hadn't seen Garp look so serious in years. It seemed Kizaru's and Zephyr's severe injuries had ignited the Marine Hero's anger.
Sengoku nodded heavily: "Alright, I'll go with you."
Without much hesitation, Garp and Sengoku used Moonwalk, moving at an extremely fast pace towards the west bank.
The surrounding Marine soldiers couldn't clearly see Sengoku's and Garp's figures. They only felt a gust of wind, and then Sengoku and Garp had already vanished from their original spots.
"Rear Admiral, what are Fleet Admiral Sengoku and Vice Admiral Garp doing?" A Marine soldier cautiously asked the Marine Rear Admiral next to him.
The Marine Rear Admiral glared at the Marine soldier and said, "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask. Hurry up and carry the injured inside."
This time, the battle between Ye Chen, Esdeath, Osiris, and Kizaru, Zephyr, and Garp was too fierce. Almost half of their area was destroyed, reduced to ruins.
And many Marine soldiers, though not participating in the battle, were affected by the aftermath of the fighting, and many suffered varying degrees of injury.
Some Marine soldiers even had really bad luck. One of them...
When gods fight, mortals suffer.
........
On the other side, Osiris had already grabbed the Kuja Pirates' ship and placed it on its back. To prevent the pirate ship from falling, Ye Chen specifically instructed Osiris to stabilize it with divine power.
Ye Chen nodded with great satisfaction, seeing that everything was taken care of.
Actually, he had originally intended to let Osiris swallow the pirate ship in one gulp. That would have been easier and less troublesome. However, Osiris's mouth was too small to swallow the pirate ship, so he had no choice but to have Osiris carry the pirate ship on its back.
"Osiris, let them get on." Ye Chen looked up and shouted to Osiris.
Osiris heard this, let out a low growl, and extended its dragon claws to the seashore.
"Get on." Ye Chen said with a smile to Lisa and the others.
Lisa and the others heard this and quickly jumped on.
Just then, a whistling sound came from afar. Esdeath and Ye Chen exchanged glances, then turned to look.
Not far away, Sengoku and Garp approached, stepping through the air. Each step covered dozens of meters.
"Sengoku and Garp, what are they doing here?" Ye Chen looked at the gradually approaching Garp and Sengoku, somewhat puzzled.
"Ye Chen-sama, can these two make a move?" Although she had fought Zephyr, Esdeath still hadn't had enough. This battle fanatic always wanted to fight again, and her intuition told Esdeath that these two were a few points stronger than the one she had just fought.
Ye Chen thought for a moment and said, "Let's see what happens first. If they attack, we'll attack too."
"Alright." Esdeath nodded.
"Lord Ye Chen, aren't you getting on?" Lisa asked.
Ye Chen heard this and only then realized that Lisa and Osiris seemed to be waiting for them to get on.
"You go on first." Ye Chen smiled, then shouted to Osiris: "Osiris, let them get on first."
As his words fell, Osiris picked up Lisa and the others and placed them on its back.
...
Soon after, Sengoku and Garp arrived in tandem.
"Ye Chen, what exactly are you trying to do?!" As soon as his feet landed, Sengoku roared at Ye Chen.
Zephyr and Kizaru's severe injuries, plus the twenty Devil Fruits they had to compensate for—these two things combined had already filled Sengoku with pent-up anger.
The Devil Fruits were given, yet Ye Chen didn't leave and instead swaggered around on the pier. How could Sengoku not be furious?
"Sengoku, did you and Garp go through all this trouble just to ask that?" Ye Chen retorted.
"That's right." Sengoku said through gritted teeth.
Ye Chen shrugged, his tone carrying a hint of helplessness: "If that's the case, then you might be disappointed. We don't intend to do anything."
"Do you think we'll believe that?" Sengoku roared.
Ye Chen's face immediately turned cold upon hearing this: "I don't care if you believe it or not."
"You." Sengoku's face flushed, and his whole body trembled.
At this moment, Garp walked over and patted Sengoku's shoulder. Sengoku looked over and saw Garp shaking his head.
Seeing this, Sengoku took a deep breath, and his expression gradually stabilized.
Garp took a step forward, his face grim: "Ye Chen, what exactly is your scheme?"
"Scheme?" Ye Chen chuckled: "You Marines have always been the ones chasing and attacking me. Now you're asking me what my scheme is? Old man Garp, don't you think that's ridiculous?"
