"He's on Fish-Man Island now, and he'll definitely enter the New World afterward. Since that's the case, it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
Sengoku said in a deep voice, "Send troops to patrol the sea area at the entrance to the New World. When he shows his face, grab him!"
"I see. That's feasible. The Celestial Dragons have been urging us many times. It would be best if we could solve this this time."
Kizaru also thought it was a good idea. As long as they caught Ibaraki and obtained information about Shadow Fiend and Phantom from him, it wouldn't be difficult.
As for whether they could catch Shadow Fiend, that was another question. At least they could explain it to the Celestial Dragons.
However, at this moment, Vice Admiral Garp, who was sitting on the sofa, shook his head and said, "Sengoku, you're a smart person, and the other party isn't a fool."
"What do you mean? Garp?"
"Since he dared to reveal his identity to talk, he couldn't possibly not guess your reaction. If you do this, you might just fall into the other party's trap." Garp laughed and said, "That person named Ibaraki doesn't seem to have a broken brain."
Hearing this, Sengoku's face immediately turned ugly.
He realized that Garp was right. Maybe this was a trap.
But knowing it was a trap, Sengoku had to take action because the opportunity only came once. Phantom was too mysterious, and it was too difficult to find them.
"No need to say more. It's worth a try." Thinking of this, Sengoku immediately ordered, "Kizaru, you lead 5 Vice Admirals and set off with the fleet. Also, notify Aokiji and tell him not to argue with the Celestial Dragons. With 2 Admirals and 5 Vice Admirals taking action, it's enough to catch that person. I don't believe there's a second Rayleigh to help him this time?"
"Understood."
After giving the orders, Sengoku took out a Den Den Mushi.
...
At the same time, Fish-Man Island.
Momousagi received a call. Hearing the voice of the person on the other end, she was even more shocked. It wasn't Admiral Kizaru, but Fleet Admiral Sengoku.
This Ibaraki was so powerful that he had directly alarmed the Fleet Admiral!
Without hesitation, she returned to her seat and said directly, "Ibaraki, the Fleet Admiral wants to talk to you directly."
"Hmm? Sengoku..."
Vladimir raised his eyebrows, and a guess suddenly came to his mind.
Hiding the thoughts in his heart, Vladimir took the Den Den Mushi and said, "I'm Ibaraki. Good morning, Fleet Admiral of the Navy."
"You want to join the Shichibukai?"
Sengoku's voice was full of energy, obviously still at the peak of his life, probably much stronger than he would be ten years later.
"Yes, how is the Fleet Admiral considering it?" Vladimir chuckled, although he had already guessed the answer in his heart.
"Impossible! Your Shadow Fiend just killed a Celestial Dragon, and in the blink of an eye, you want to enter the Navy system and become a Shichibukai? What makes you think I should trust you?"
Sengoku questioned, wanting to see what Vladimir would use to persuade him.
However, his plan failed.
Vladimir didn't follow the routine at all and said directly, "Sengoku, stop pretending to be stupid. The Celestial Dragons being killed is a concern for that group of Celestial Dragons in the Holy Land. I don't see the Navy being concerned at all."
After a pause, he added, "Besides, it's just killing a Celestial Dragon. One of the current Shichibukai, Donquixote Doflamingo, hasn't he killed a Celestial Dragon?"
Hearing these words suddenly, Momousagi and Jinbe's expressions changed, a little shocked.
Was there really such a thing?
"I don't know where you got the information, but his situation is different!" Sengoku was equally horrified, not expecting Phantom to know even such top-secret information.
"Then what's there to talk about? When you figure it out, you'll naturally want me to join the Shichibukai."
Vladimir chuckled, too lazy to argue with the other party, "However, you'll regret not agreeing now at that time."
After speaking, he hung up directly.
This scene stunned Momousagi.
This guy was so bold. This was Fleet Admiral Sengoku!
No, the people from Phantom were all very bold. Shadow Fiend dared to kill the Celestial Dragon in the Holy Land, and this Ibaraki was also very awesome, directly threatening Sengoku on the phone.
"You..." Momousagi opened her mouth. If the other party wasn't a pirate, she might have said a few words of admiration, "You're really not afraid of death."
"Why wouldn't I be afraid?" Vladimir blinked and teased, "Not to mention me. Miss, you guys are in big trouble!"
"Eh?" Momousagi was confused. Wasn't the one in big trouble the other party?
Vladimir shook his head and got up to leave.
He could basically guess what Sengoku was planning.
If it was a rejection, he wouldn't have contacted him on his own initiative. The reason for doing so was nothing more than to stabilize him and buy time.
What was he buying time for? Did he even need to ask... Of course, it was to catch him.
"Let me think. If they want to catch me, they won't risk entering Fish-Man Island. They should be deploying troops at the New World exit."
Vladimir curled his lips and thought to himself, "If the tiger doesn't show its power, you really think I'm a sick cat!"
Doflamingo killed a Celestial Dragon and still sat firmly in the Shichibukai, and in recent years, that person often robbed the Heavenly Tribute.
But for some reason, the Navy couldn't arrest him, so they had no choice but to agree to him becoming a Shichibukai.
Vladimir felt that what Doflamingo could do, why couldn't he do it?
"It still needs a beating."
...
At first, Vladimir thought that Sengoku would agree to his proposal to become a Shichibukai, but in fact, Sengoku rejected it, and even wanted to use the time difference to catch him off guard at the entrance to the New World.
After thinking about it carefully, Vladimir felt that the problem lay in the degree of understanding between the two sides.
He himself knew that he was Phantom, he represented Phantom, and one person was Sea Dragon, Shadow Fiend, Ibaraki, and any future transformations.
But Sengoku didn't know. In Sengoku's view, Ibaraki was just an ordinary member. Although he had combat power close to the Admiral level, it wasn't enough to agree immediately.
After all, he was just an ordinary member and didn't have enough weight.
"However, it doesn't matter. I'll beat them up first and make them behave. Presumably, they'll agree afterward."
Shaking his head, Vladimir swaggered away from under the noses of Momousagi and the Navy.
