Punk Hazard Sea Region.
The Vice Admiral of the G5 Branch, Vergo, stood in the corner of the warship, his heart seemingly stopping for a moment, looking with some horror at the two figures that appeared before him.
These two people...
Their speed was too fast!
Vergo didn't even use Observation Haki to sense them, and these two had already appeared behind him, Admiral Kizaru and Vice Admiral Akihara Kagura!
No matter who...
This was not a trouble he could resolve!
Sweat broke out on Vergo's forehead as his arms began to tremble, yet he still wanted to forcibly calm his heart.
"I don't know what you're talking about."
Vergo held the Radio Snail in his hand, slowly lowering his head to look at the snail-shaped like Doflamingo, feigning a calm demeanor: "I've been ordered to contact the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Donflamingo, to come for support and cooperate in arresting the former Admiral..."
"Did I hear wrong then?"
Akihara Kagura interrupted Vergo, seemingly intending to gloss over Vergo's situation lightly: "It sounds like I wronged a loyal Vice Admiral of a branch..."
"..."
Vergo suddenly felt relieved in his heart.
However...
The relief came too early!
Akihara Kagura's arm shot out suddenly, lightning fast, gripping Vergo's neck abruptly and slamming this Vice Admiral against the nearby railing!
"Cough, cough..."
Vergo instantly suffered a heavy blow, coughing up blood.
"Whether you are wronged is unimportant, as long as we accidentally kill the resisting you at this moment and pin the spy's crime on your head, wouldn't that suffice?"
Akihara Kagura tightly grasped Vergo's neck with one hand, taking the Radio Snail from Vergo's hand with the other, speaking with a light laughter: "Who can prove you're not a spy infiltrating the Navy? Doflamingo on the other end of the Radio Snail?"
Akihara Kagura placed the Radio Snail beside her mouth, smilingly speaking to Doflamingo on the other end, "Hey, Doflamingo? Would you go to the Marine Headquarters Marineford to testify for our Vice Admiral Vergo, that he's not your spy inserted into the Navy?"
Dressrosa Palace.
Doflamingo's face was full of gloom and agony.
This Seven Warlords of the Sea never expected Akihara Kagura, this Vice Admiral, to be so ruthless in conduct, this guy kills without regard for evidence, trying to kill a Vice Admiral on the spot, his actions more excessive than a pirate!
But...
Vergo...
He's a senior officer of Donquixote!
Doflamingo regards him as a family-like comrade!
Having lost relatives from a young age, Doflamingo treated the senior officers who supported him and accompanied him up to today as his family...
"..."
Doflamingo clenched his teeth tightly, his face almost unable to hide the hate and pain, slowly extending his hand to cover his face.
If he doesn't speak up, Vergo will certainly die, for Akihara Kagura, killing Vergo wouldn't take slower than killing a fish...
Yet Doflamingo knows he can hardly save Vergo, if it's another Vice Admiral, Doflamingo might choose to threaten or entice... certainly, other Vice Admirals couldn't be Vergo's match.
Akihara Kagura's strength is much higher than his!
Moreover, there's an equally formidable Navy Admiral beside...
"Vice Admiral Akihara Kagura, Admiral Borsalino..."
Doflamingo wanted to resolve the issue with negotiations immediately, he chose to admit Vergo's identity, "Vergo is indeed my man..."
No choice.
Negotiation is the only option for discussing issues.
Because violence can only be settled by the other party, choosing enticement instead, Doflamingo hoped the other party would demand something, allowing him to save his trusted Vergo...
"Doff..."
Vergo's voice suddenly turned solemn.
The man seemed to understand Doflamingo's meaning, his upper officer uniform burst open directly, rapidly covering himself in armed Haki!
Vergo's muscles on arms and chest bulged prominently, black Armament Haki enveloped his muscles, making his physique appear especially robust at this moment!
"Don't sacrifice anything for me..."
Vergo swung his hefty black arm, directly striking towards Akihara Kagura's shoulder, his voice somewhat hoarse and muffled: "Doff, no need to care about my life or death, I've long been prepared to sacrifice my life for you!"
Vergo followed Doflamingo for approximately thirty years, always being loyal to Doflamingo, long ready to give his life for Doflamingo's grand ambitions!
Akihara Kagura directly released Vergo's neck, raising a hand to grab Vergo's wrist, instantly throwing Vergo over his shoulder onto the ground!
Plop!
Akihara Kagura stomped on Vergo's chest, one foot exerting terrifying pressure, pressing Vergo down, unable to rise!
"Sacrifice?"
Akihara Kagura chuckled lightly, indifferently looking at Vergo lying on the ground, clutching her calf tightly: "Are you joking? Don't display nobility here..."
"Vergo..."
Doflamingo's voice was somewhat suppressed.
"Vice Admiral Akihara Kagura..."
Doflamingo's voice turned sorrowful, speaking word by word: "In my hands, I hold many secrets of the Heavenly Celestial Dragons, knowing you are at odds with that group in Mary Geoise, if you let Vergo go, I can offer you one of those secrets..."
