"Sengoku, don't act impulsively; consider the Headquarters." Steel Bone Kong glanced at Sengoku, saying in a low voice.
At this moment, Sengoku's mood was extremely complex, with anger and a hint of powerlessness flashing in his eyes.
He was furious that Ye Chen dared to publicly kill Marine officers at Headquarters, completely disregarding the Marines.
But he also felt shocked and helpless by Ye Chen's power.
He clearly knew that if Ye Chen used the same moves he used on Tenrou Island, Marine Headquarters would have a less than one-in-ten chance of surviving.
"I was too rash."
Sengoku took a deep breath, speaking with a calm expression.
"Sigh." Vice Admiral Tsuru deeply sighed. She had taken in the changes in Sengoku's expression, understanding in her heart that Sengoku had made this decision only after countless torments.
But she also couldn't say anything about it, because they dared not gamble.
They dared not gamble with the future and reputation of the Marines.
"Tell me, what are your conditions?"
Steel Bone Kong looked at Ye Chen with a calm expression: "I hope your demands are not too excessive."
"Hehe, my demands are not excessive at all. This number." Ye Chen smiled, opening his hands.
"One billion?"
Steel Bone Kong's expression froze. He was prepared for Ye Chen to ask for an exorbitant price, but he hadn't expected Ye Chen to only need one billion. This was somewhat beyond his expectations.
One billion was not a small amount, but it was absolutely affordable.
"He's talking about ten Devil Fruits," Sengoku said with a helpless expression.
Having dealt with Ye Chen so many times, Sengoku understood his meaning the moment he saw Ye Chen's hands.
Ye Chen was only interested in Devil Fruits, completely lacking interest in anything else.
"Ten Devil Fruits, you're truly going too far."
Steel Bone Kong's face also held a hint of helplessness. The lowest price for a Devil Fruit was 100 million berries, and some with good abilities would even fetch several times that.
The basic price for one Devil Fruit was three billion to acquire, meaning Ye Chen was asking for thirty billion berries in one go.
However, thirty billion was a price that Steel Bone Kong could accept.
"We temporarily don't have that many Devil Fruits." Steel Bone Kong shook his head.
The Devil Fruits usually collected were generally given as rewards to outstanding Marine soldiers. The inventory did have some, but not ten of them.
Ye Chen frowned slightly upon hearing this. After all this, he really didn't want to trouble the Marines.
Too annoying.
"How about this, the market price for Devil Fruits is three billion each. How about we directly give you thirty billion?" Steel Bone Kong offered.
If others knew that the Commander-in-Chief of the World Government, Steel Bone Kong, was haggling with a pirate here, who knew what they would think.
"Berries are not needed, we have more than enough." Ye Chen directly refused, then said, "How about this, you go collect ten Devil Fruits, and when they're ready, notify me, and I'll come pick them up."
Thirty billion berries didn't seem bad either, he was quite tempted.
But it would take a lot of time to use thirty billion berries to purchase Devil Fruits. In that case, it was better to let them collect them. After all, the World Government was the largest power in this world. As long as this massive entity was activated, collecting them in a short period shouldn't be a problem.
He wasn't afraid they wouldn't deliver. Anyway, he had already taught them a lesson this time.
If it happened again next time, Ye Chen wouldn't be so polite.
Steel Bone Kong pondered for a moment after hearing this, then nodded slightly: "We can agree to this, but how do we contact you?"
"Soul Imprint."
A light flashed in Ye Chen's sapphire blue pupils, and an ethereal pattern flew from his eyes into Steel Bone Kong's eyes.
Instantly, Steel Bone Kong felt an invisible force fly into his eyes, and at the same time, something seemed to be added to his heart.
"When you need to contact me, just silently recite my name in your heart."
Ye Chen raised an eyebrow slightly: "I've already given you the contact method. I hope you collect the Devil Fruits as soon as possible."
"Goodbye, everyone." Ye Chen smiled.
As his voice fell, a white light appeared, enveloping Osiris and Ye Chen. The light flickered, and the figures of one man and one dragon gradually blurred.
The light dispersed, and the man and the dragon had vanished from their original spot.
"What kind of ability is this, after all?" Sengoku was utterly speechless.
He had thought Ye Chen would fly off on Osiris. Why did he think this? Because Ye Chen had always done so before.
However, this time, Ye Chen had directly disappeared in front of them.
Anyone else would not have been able to remain calm.
"This is a spatial ability." Compared to Sengoku, Steel Bone Kong's face was much calmer: "There are also people among the Five Elders who possess such an ability."
"Aren't Devil Fruit users unique?" Zefa's shock was not much less than Sengoku's.
"He is not a Devil Fruit user." At this point, Garp shook his head.
"If he's not an ability user, then what is he?" Zefa was extremely confused.
Because all sorts of abilities in this world originate from Devil Fruits, and people who eat Devil Fruits are called ability users.
Normally, when one saw an ability that defied common sense, one would think it was an ability user.
But suddenly someone tells you this isn't an ability user; such a statement is like the sun rising from the west.
It defied common sense somewhat.
"It should be that pair of eyes of his." Vice Admiral Tsuru's eyes flashed with a wise light as she slowly spoke to the others.
"I also agree with Tsuru's statement. During the battle, Ye Chen displayed repulsion. I specifically paid attention, and those eyes of his gave off a completely different feeling."
"I agree with this view too; I also noticed it."
Steel Bone Kong nodded. He remembered that when he had ambushed Ye Chen earlier, Ye Chen's eyes were filled with an inexplicable power.
"And Fleet Admiral Kong, the contact method he gave you should also be an ability of his eyes."
"This Ye Chen's abilities are a bit strange."
Garp was silent for a while before slowly speaking, his face filled with solemn doubt.
The others nodded in deep agreement.
This Ye Chen exuded strangeness everywhere. One could even say Osiris did too, exuding strangeness.
Unknown person.
Unknown abilities.
...
Meanwhile, in a place very far from Marine Headquarters.
On an unnamed island ridge in the New World, a ray of light appeared out of thin air.
Doflamingo and his family members watched dumbfounded as Ye Chen and Osiris slowly appeared before them.
