A golden light flashed, and instantly, a figure condensed beside Akainu.
"Hmph."
The figure condensed without hesitation, and directly kicked Akainu. Instantly, Akainu flew backward like a kite with a broken string. Akainu stumbled and fell, sliding back dozens of meters before stopping.
"Hmph."
Akainu lay on the ground, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood, which splattered on the ground. Akainu raised his head and looked at the figure in the air, his face filled with bewilderment: "Borsalino?"
Borsalino descended from the sky, stood on the ground, glanced at Akainu, then turned his head and looked directly at Esdeath in front of him and Ulquiorra and Ye Chen standing behind her. Seeing these three people, Borsalino felt a headache.
If it weren't absolutely necessary, he really wouldn't want to save Akainu, but he had no choice; the order was upon him. Moreover, Akainu was also a major fighting force of the Marines. If he died, the Marines would suffer a heavy blow. It was not easy to train an Admiral.
"Borsalino, did you come here to die?" "Or are you Marines preparing to go to war with us?" Ye Chen glanced at Akainu not far away and said in a low voice, "If you don't give us an explanation, then don't blame us for sending you on your way."
"Sending you on your way" naturally meant death.
"This arrest was Akainu's independent action; it has nothing to do with Marine instructions," Borsalino replied.
"Since that's the case, then get out of the way, or else." Ye Chen looked at Borsalino with a half-smile, his eyes revealing a cold intent: "I will slaughter you too, and make your so-called three great Marine Admirals become two."
He actually directly threatened a Marine Admiral. This Emperor is truly tyrannical and fierce. "What's the background of this Emperor? Two Marine Admirals actually dare to be so defiant?" "This is the strongest fighting force of the Marines!"
Not a few people in the distance conversed in low voices, all surprised by the Emperor's arrogant tone. In their impression, the Emperor was just a relatively famous pirate crew. Although Esdeath and Ulquiorra had previously run rampant, they were still just pirates with some reputation. Even if they were Marine Admirals, they couldâŠ
It could be said that Marine Admirals still held great authority in their hearts. The consultant said that the Emperor should fear Marine Admirals. But unexpectedly, it seemed the tables had turned.
Seeing the undisguised killing intent in Ye Chen's eyes, Borsalino truly felt a headache. He cursed inwardly, Akainu, you dumb dog, why did you have to run over and attack the Emperor? Aren't you looking for death?
Did he not see the Emperor's power during the Holy Land incident?
Even the Five Elders lowered their heads. What can an Admiral like you do?
He cursed, but today he had to protect Akainu. Thinking of this, Borsalino looked directly at Ye Chen and said in a low voice, "This is the only way you'll let him go." Borsalino paused at the end of his sentence, then continued, "As long as you let Akainu go, we can agree to any condition."
"If I want one hundred Devil Fruits, can you produce them? Are you willing to part with them?" Ye Chen said disdainfully.
Borsalino's face instantly changed. His expression was bitter: "Even the Holy Land can't produce that many, let alone us Marines. You're being a bit unreasonable."
"Since you can't produce them, then there's nothing to talk about. For Garp's sake, get out of the way." Ye Chen raised an eyebrow slightly, glancing at him. "If not, I'll take you down with him." "I don't want to say these words a third time," Ye Chen finally said.
"Hiss."
Whether it was the Marine soldiers in the back or the onlookers in the distance, they all gasped simultaneously.
All this time, the Marines had been threatening pirates, but now, it was the Emperor who turned around and directly threatened the Marines. This Emperor was truly fiercely capable. Seeing Esdeath look eager to try, and Ulquiorra unknowingly taking a step forward, the most important thing was that Obeliscus, who was wrapped around Ye Chen, had unknowingly opened his eyes.
Four immense auras instantly unfolded, like a great mountain pressing down on Borsalino. Instantly, Borsalino's face was covered in cold sweat, his eyes filled with anxiety. He understood that if he didn't get out of the way, the Emperor would probably take him down first.
At this thought, Borsalino took a deep breath, looked at Ye Chen, and said, "You talk to Fleet Admiral Sengoku. I can't make that decision."
"Alright." Ye Chen considered for a moment and agreed. He wanted to see how the Marines would answer.
Furthermore, Akainu's life or death didn't really have much impact on them. However, being able to extract some value from the Marines through Akainu was not bad. Seeing Ye Chen agree, Borsalino quickly took out a Den Den Mushi and connected it to Sengoku, who was far away at Marine Headquarters.
After a while, the Den Den Mushi slowly opened its eyes and said, "What's wrong, Borsalino?" Hearing this, Borsalino roughly gave Sengoku a brief report. Sengoku remained silent for a long time after hearing the report.
After a while, the Den Den Mushi suddenly spoke: "Emperor's hundred Devil Fruits are too many. No force in the entire world can produce such a quantity. State your true conditions."
Ye Chen rolled his eyes. "How about this? Fifteen Devil Fruits, plus Akainu himself cuts off his right arm and calls himself a dumb dog, and we'll let them go. Otherwise, all the Marines present will die."
"The Marines don't have that many in stock. Only ten," Sengoku replied.
Ye Chen considered for a moment, feeling that this should be the Marines' bottom line. The Marines should still have some in stock, but he estimated they were all secretly reserved as rewards for outstanding Marines. Ten Devil Fruits for Akainu's life felt like a good deal.
At this thought, Ye Chen replied, "Ten then. However, the conditions I mentioned before must still be met."
"I disagree. I, Akainu, stand tall against the heavens and earth; I will absolutely not submit to a pirate." Akainu slowly stood up, his eyes filled with determination, and said in a low voice. To make him cut off his right arm in front of everyone, and even call himself a dumb dogâthis was already trampling on his dignity, humiliating him. How could a person who cherished his reputation so much endure this?
"You must obey. This is an order." The voice of the Den Den Mushi sounded, carrying an unquestionable authority.
Akainu's face was gloomy, his expression uncertain. He looked at Ye Chen with eyes filled with resentment.
Seeing Akainu's gaze, Ye Chen's lips curled up. He said coldly, "Hurry up and shout it, I don't have that much time to play with you."
"Akainu, a great man can yield and bend. Endure for a moment, and the storm will pass. If you die today, you'll never get revenge on the Emperor. Just bear with it," Borsalino advised.
Hearing Borsalino's words, Akainu's face changed. It was impossible for him to lower his head and be killed by a pirate. But he thought of the revenge Borsalino spoke of. He wanted revenge on the Emperor. He wanted to increase his strength and one day destroy the Emperor. He wanted to one day return today's humiliation tenfold to the Emperor.
At this thought, Akainu took a deep breath. He held his right arm with his left hand, and directly, forcefully pulled his right arm out, throwing it onto the ground. After losing his right arm, Akainu's face was covered in sweat, and he shouted expressionlessly, "I⊠Akainu⊠am a dumb dog."
