The Chapter get Retranslated
After settling things with Doflamingo, Ye Chen and his two companions left. Doflamingo didn't try to stop them; he still had many things to attend to.
Although Emperor Descend said he would support him in rising to power, he only offered a guarantee of strength. Whether he could successfully take over would depend on his own abilities and the influence of his family.
Each of the Eight Underground Kings held a monarchical position in the underworld; which one wasn't a powerful and extraordinary individual?
Moreover, Emperor Descend would only eliminate Sirius's high-end combat power. As for Sirius's remaining forces, Doflamingo would need to handle them himself.
However, for Doflamingo, this was already enough.
After Ye Chen left, Doflamingo impatiently summoned all his family executives to discuss the upcoming plan to take over Sirius's territory.
"Young Master, did Emperor Descend really say that?"
The speaker was Diamante, one of Doflamingo's two main pillars.
Doflamingo nodded, "That's what they said."
Doflamingo's voice wasn't loud, but to these executives, it was like a bolt from the blue.
At this moment, all the executives' faces were filled with shock, their expressions full of surprise. They hadn't expected that the matter Young Master and Emperor Descend discussed was actually the position of an Underground King.
Having been in the New World for so long, they clearly understood what the title "Underground King" represented: wealth and resources, but more importantly, a form of deterrence.
This deterrence was like how ordinary pirates would change color upon hearing the names of the Four Emperors.
They had once longed for the position of Underground King, but their insufficient strength prevented them from seizing it.
However, if Emperor Descend supported them from behind, everything would be different.
"But Young Master, why would they give us this position of Underground King? Don't they want it?" Diamante asked.
"Their sights aren't set on the Underground King, or rather, they simply don't care about this position. Their demand is for a higher position."
Doflamingo said softly.
With his words, all the executives of Doflamingo's family fell silent.
So, the position we pursued was one they looked down upon.
Meanwhile, on the other side, after settling things, Ye Chen left the auction house under Doflamingo's command.
Just as they were preparing to head to Fish-Man Island, they encountered a very unexpected person on the way: Marine Admiral Akainu.
Ye Chen scanned ahead. In front of him, only Akainu stood, blocking their path with a group of Marine soldiers.
Seeing this, Ye Chen couldn't help but laugh. Akainu coming alone? Did he really look down on them that much?
Hadn't the previous events made them realize anything?
Ye Chen didn't know if this was a Marine assignment or if Akainu had come alone, but none of it mattered to him.
Ye Chen looked directly at Akainu and said indifferently, "Get out of the way, Akainu, you're blocking our path."
A contemptuous voice echoed in Akainu's mind. Instantly, Akainu's face turned pale, then dark, his eyes burning with fury.
Since he became a Marine Admiral, when had anyone dared to reprimand him like this? Not even Sengoku had ever done so.
Moreover, with so many Marine soldiers watching behind him, Akainu felt extremely humiliated.
At this moment, a Marine Commodore standing beside Akainu stepped forward and shouted at Ye Chen and the others, "How dare you, Emperor Descend Pirate Crew! Death is at your doorstep, yet you still act so arrogant!"
Hearing this, Ye Chen's mouth twitched. Now he didn't know what to say. He wasn't even looking for trouble with the Marines, yet the Marines came looking for trouble with him.
"Akainu, is that your intention too? To capture us?" Ye Chen deliberately emphasized the last sentence.
"You are heinous criminals, beyond redemption. Why is it surprising that the Marines are here to capture you?" Akainu said with a dark face.
Ye Chen felt extremely helpless hearing this. He didn't know if the Marines were foolish or if Akainu was foolish.
He wasn't looking for trouble with them, yet they came knocking on his door. Was this a death wish?
And if you're going to cause trouble, at least bring enough people. What kind of situation is this with just a foolish dog like Akainu?
"Esdeath, you go." Ye Chen instructed Esdeath.
"Good." It was rare to see a good opponent, so Esdeath couldn't possibly refuse.
At this moment, Esdeath stepped forward, and with each step, a cold white mist rose around her. Instantly, the Marines nearby felt the temperature drop significantly, and many shivered from the cold.
"Fall back." Akainu told the line of Marines behind him.
Once a battle of their caliber broke out, it would be earth-shshattering. The Marines behind them would have no power to resist.
With his words, the Marines behind them quickly retreated. The surrounding crowd had also already fallen back, as many had personally witnessed Esdeath's earlier display of power.
Suddenly, a vacant space opened up on the street, and Esdeath and Akainu stood facing each other.
Akainu's expression was solemn. His right hand instantly transformed into rolling magma, emitting thick black smoke, and the surrounding temperature abruptly rose.
"Interesting. I hope you don't disappoint me." Esdeath said with a smile, her lips full of battle intent.
With her words, the surrounding temperature dropped sharply, and the ground instantly froze, spreading at a visible rate.
"As expected, it's ice ability, but my ability counters yours." Akainu roared.
Stomping on the ground, Akainu swung his giant magma fist, striking out fiercely.
"Good! Come on!" Esdeath laughed heartily, her expression filled with fervent battle intent.
With her words, an indescribable bone-chilling cold erupted from Esdeath's hand, and the surrounding ground instantly froze.
At this moment, Akainu's fist had already struck, and rolling magma surged towards her.
"Ice Shield." Esdeath murmured.
As her voice fell, a three-meter-long shield immediately stood before Esdeath.
"Bang."
The two collided, and a terrifying explosion instantly erupted. A massive wave of air, carrying ice shards and magma fragments, swept in all directions. The ground, unable to bear the pressure, cracked open, and spiderweb-like fissures rapidly spread outwards.
