"I'm not interested in your terms."
Akihara Kagura's calf suddenly exerted force, a massive gravity instantly crushed Virgo's chest ribs, then calmly continued: "But, well, I won't want to kill him either, I might even help him find a doctor to treat his injuries..."
"Ahhhhh..."
Virgo's screams immediately echoed.
"What do you want?"
Donflamingo continued to question in a deep voice.
"Vegapunk."
Akihara Kagura opened his palm, speaking casually: "Under the World Government's orders, retrieve Vegapunk that you took away. If you obediently hand over Vegapunk, Borsalino and I are too lazy to go another mile..."
"..."
Donflamingo fell silent.
For him, Vegapunk symbolizes his hope to rise on the sea; he doesn't want to lose Vegapunk no matter what.
To put it bluntly...
Vegapunk's value is higher than the entire Dressrosa!
For anyone on the sea, obtaining Vegapunk, the world's top genius, is equivalent to getting a ticket to become a ruler!
"Tsk..."
"It seems Vice Admiral Virgo is not enough weight..."
"Then we can only see each other in Dressrosa."
Akihara Kagura raised his hand, crushed the Radio Snail in hand, and kicked the Virgo beneath his foot aside: "Go find someone, escort him to Marshal Sengoku, let our former Navy Admiral handle this..."
"Isn't Colonel Karin nearby..."
Kizaru couldn't resist complaining beside him.
"This guy isn't worthy."
"Karin hasn't even treated my injuries once!"
Akihara Kagura chuckled, shrugged off indifferently: "Just find any doctor, as long as he's alive, why bother about so much..."
"..."
Kizaru could only purse his lips, his gaze seemed somewhat contemplative.
This Navy Admiral automatically ignored the latter half of Akihara Kagura's words, only instinctively understood the earlier words...
Colonel Karin's healing abilities...
Are better than any doctor Kizaru has seen.
If Akihara Kagura were injured, it could only be Karin who could save him... Never being treated by Karin, does it mean he's never been injured once?
"..."
Kizaru suppressed his thoughts, following behind Akihara Kagura, continued with interest: "So where should we go now? Directly to Dressrosa or stay here watching the battle between Sakazuki and Kuzan?"
"Go prepare tea and refreshments!"
Akihara Kagura waved for the group of encroaching navy to retreat, though just a Vice Admiral, seeming to overshadow Kizaru.
Akihara Kagura sat on the chair on the deck of the battleship, looked at the falling ice and explosive lava on Punk Hazard Island, leisurely said: "We have lots of time, even if we go to Dressrosa, at least let the other side prepare, so that the Seven Warlords of the Sea won't have time to resist..."
"As for here..."
"Ten days, should be enough for them to decide the winner."
Ten days.
Akainu and Aokiji fought here for ten days.
The entire climate of Punk Hazard Island completely changed, half of the island became a snowy weather, the other half turned into a burning lava world.
During this battle, Virgo caught by Akihara Kagura was also sent to Marine Headquarters Marineford, almost drove an old retired man to illness.
Former Navy Admiral Sengoku the Buddha retired from his position, accepted Steel Bone Kong's invitation to serve as Chief Inspector of Marine HQ, overseeing internal Navy misconduct.
Frankly speaking...
This position is truly unsuitable.
Because Sengoku himself had colluded with pirates before.
However...
This is much better than being a spy!
Originally, Sengoku was somewhat surprised by the Virgo sent over, but the escorting navy informed him this guy named Virgo was personally captured by Akihara Kagura and Kizaru, was a spy sent to the navy by Donflamingo.
"..."
Sengoku was almost driven insane.
Virgo was someone Sengoku personally groomed, even when Virgo became a Vice Admiral of the G5 Branch, Sengoku personally interviewed and advised him!
Result...
This bastard turned out to be a spy for Donflamingo!
Sengoku was not shy, directly threatened Virgo to disclose the secrets of the Donquixote Pirates, yet got no answer from Virgo's mouth.
This guy...
Is really a tough nut!
Sengoku, unlike Akihara Kagura, didn't act reckless; his actions complied with Navy rules, he could only command his subordinates to send Virgo to Impel Down...
But...
An accident happened on the way.
The World Government also lost a lot of face for this.
Due to Dracule Mihawk, Empress Boa Hancock, Bartholomew Bear and others among the Seven Warlords of the Sea defecting to the Konoha Pirates, the personnel of the Seven Warlords dwindled sharply, leaving only Sea Hero Jinbe, Moonlight Moriah, and the rebellious Donflamingo...
To enhance the World Government's combat power against the Konoha Pirates threat, the World Government selected rookies from Super Rookies, hoping to replenish the Seven Warlords...
Trafalgar Law, captain of the Red Heart Pirates, Paramecia-type·Op-Op Fruit user, was chosen by the World Government as the new Seven Warlords of the Sea.
Result...
Misfortune never comes singly.
Trafalgar Law, just accepted as the new Seven Warlords of the Sea, directly attacked the navy battleship, killed Virgo who was being escorted to Impel Down...
The Five Elders were almost driven insane too!
This bastard...
Was clearly playing them!
However, Trafalgar Law truly wanted to leave no face for the Five Elders and Heavenly Celestial Dragon, during the Radio Snail call from Saint Saturn questioning him, bluntly admitted he was mocking them, he wanted to lead his followers to defect to the Konoha Pirates...
"Fools..."
"I'm just playing you..."
Trafalgar Law held his Radio Snail, said with some sarcasm to the other end: "The World Government's rule is about to collapse, I chose to join the Seven Warlords of the Sea here naturally for my own purpose. If it wasn't for the news of Virgo's capture, I wouldn't bother playing house games with you here..."
"Remember my name."
"I'm Trafalgar D. Law."
Trafalgar Law announced his full name, coldly stated his hometown: "I'm from 'White Town' Freyvans. I will defect to the Konoha Pirates and become the World Government's grave digger alongside them..."
"Bastard..."
Saint Saturn hung up the call.
It's conceivable the pain this old man's heart was in.
The most troublesome thing is, Trafalgar Law completely shattered the trust between the World Government and the Seven Warlords of the Sea, making the Five Elders dare not appoint any new Seven Warlords...
How would they appoint?
How would they have the mood to appoint!
The Seven Warlords of the Sea appointed by the World Government seemed already to become the Konoha Pirates' underground training class, this system of using pirates against pirates is already nominally defunct!
During these hard times...
The bow met the opposing wind.
Among the Seven Warlords, Moonlight Moriah inexplicably encountered Straw Hat Luffy's challenge and was defeated head-on by this super rookie Straw Hat Luffy!
Besides...
Sea Hero Jinbe chose to leave Fishman Island, to repay a favor, heading to the Whitebeard Sea Region, preparing to face the challenge from the Konoha Pirates alongside the Whitebeard Pirates.
Ten days...
The entire Seven Warlords of the Sea...
Only had one left: Donflamingo.
Coincidentally, in these ten days, the battle between Akainu and the defector Aokiji has already decided the outcome, Akihara Kagura and Kizaru headed to Punk Hazard to welcome the triumphant Akainu.
Navy high-level combat forces gathered in the Punk Hazard Sea Region, preparing to head to Dressrosa, to pressure King Donflamingo of Dressrosa to hand over Vegapunk.
Once negotiations fail...
All agreements ever reached will instantly collapse.
This also formally signifies the complete invalidation of the World Government's Seven Warlords of the Sea system.
