"Moji Moji, this is Borsalino. Who's there~?" Borsalino asked.
"I heard you were ordered to capture Tirion D. Grimm?" a voice came from the other end of the line.
Borsalino heard the voice and deliberately stretched his tone: "Yeah, a bounty of 700 million Beli—such a terrifying pirate~."
"I want you to let him go. The organization just formed, and for such a person, don't catch him too early. It's better to let the Navy lick some wounds, and I'm very interested in him…" the man on the line said in a deep voice.
"Oh really" Borsalino thought for a moment, then replied: "..."
Borsalino hung up, entering "Salted Fish Mode."
At that moment, the assistant major came over: "Vice Admiral Borsalino, you're too fast. Our target is Grimm. I think the first step is to find their ship."
Borsalino: "Oh let me think… your method"
"Buru Buru Buru…"
The phone rang again.
At this time, a Navy voice came from the Den Den Mushi: "Report to Vice Admiral Borsalino, Vice Admiral Kuzan has already discovered Grimm's pirate ship in Zone 21, and he's in a fight with Ocean Calamity Plank and a woman. Requesting support!"
Bang!
Before the words finished, Borsalino heard a gunshot, followed by the sound of objects dropping.
Something's wrong!
"Ah, Kuzan is really impressive—he found their ship so quickly," Borsalino said calmly.
"Over there, Vice Admiral Kuzan is probably already deep in a tough fight. The soldier on the line has likely sacrificed himself, but the location is confirmed—Zone 21!" the assistant said.
With that, Borsalino transformed into a flash of light and sped toward Zone 21.
...
Zone 21.
The nearby sea was completely frozen. The "Sea King" ship, still in the process of coating, was frozen solid on the surface of the sea.
A few shipwrights ran away in fear, abandoning their pay.
Kuzan was feeling frustrated. He was fighting Jiana and realized that his Ice-Ice Fruit was no match for her.
It felt like they were eating the same fruit—the only difference was she couldn't elementally transform. Even so, Kuzan couldn't defeat her.
Because this woman had a very bizarre dodging technique (blink), and the most disgusting part was that she could turn herself into a sheep or a penguin (transform spell). That made Kuzan sick to his stomach.
Plank directly went to deal with Kuzan's subordinate Navy, but Kuzan couldn't extricate himself.
In a short while, he was about to be turned into some bizarre animal. Who could stand that? Although the opponent wouldn't harm him, it was still unpleasant.
This was terrible—was she mocking him?
...
While walking in Zone 22, Grimm received a call from Plank: "Boss, our location's been exposed. Someone called Borsalino is coming!"
"Borsalino? Kizaru?" Grimm muttered to himself. "Ugh, so troublesome!"
Grimm currently had no desire to fight Kizaru. He didn't want to be interrupted while enjoying his time—he just wanted to sleep.
"Hmm, he's already coming?" Grimm could clearly feel someone rushing toward him at a very fast speed.
He was passing through Zone 24 and was about to enter Zone 23.
Without a doubt, at this speed, only one of the Three Great Admirals, the user of the Glint-Glint Fruit, could do it.
"I don't want to fight you today. I'll just tease you a little," Grimm thought.
He casually grabbed a Navy soldier who had just exposed his identity and been pierced through the chest by him.
Obviously, pretending to be a woman walking around at this time was too suspicious in the Navy's eyes.
This half-dead Navy soldier, judging by his uniform, was probably a captain. Grimm quickly used his[Purification] skill on him.
Meanwhile, Borsalino sped through Zone 24 and entered Zone 21.
But when passing through Zone 23, he paused briefly, confirmed his direction, and saw a wounded Navy captain running over and saluting him: "Report, Vice Admiral Borsalino, the target Tirion D. Grimm has just escaped toward Zone 23."
Borsalino?
Borsalino felt a little strange. Wasn't that supposed to be a code name assigned by the higher-ups? Only a few people knew about it now. How did this little captain find out?
Oh! He figured it out—probably someone from the organization! The organization is really powerful. It just formed, and its influence is already so deep!
Sabaody Archipelago's zones are not directly connected in a straight line, but Zone 23 and the ship of Grimm in Zone 21 happen to be in opposite directions.
Borsalino crossed his arms and looked toward Zone 22, scratching his head: "Zone 23 and Zone 21 are very close. Are you sure he didn't run far?"
Kizaru, through his tone, asked.
This time, Grimm was confused. What's going on?
But immediately, Kizaru spoke again: "Keep an eye on Kuzan and their fight. Report any situation to me immediately~"
With that, Kizaru flashed and disappeared.
After Kizaru left, Grimm reverted to his original appearance with the Holy Light, scratched his head, and muttered in Kizaru's tone: "So strange… this Kizaru, I feel something's off~."
When Grimm arrived at the dock in Zone 21, he saw an interesting scene.
Kuzan was turned into an infinite sheep.
Although any action would interrupt the transform spell, and this spell caused no harm, Kuzan was still turned into an infinite sheep.
It was disgusting.
As for the dozens of Navy following Kuzan, all of them had their heads blown off by Plank.
Seeing a little sheep wandering on the ice, Grimm asked, "Hey, Jiana, why are you turning him into a sheep?"
Jiana shrugged: "No choice. I and Plank can't deal with him. His ability is similar to mine—freezing has no effect on him. Also, Plank's bullets don't work either!"
"Freezing?" Grimm thought for a moment, then burst into laughter, glancing at the sheep: "Kuzan, long time no see. You've become much cuter than before!"
"Baa~~"
"Don't look at me with that kind of eyes, Kuzan! I really don't want to laugh, but I just can't help it!"
At that moment, Kuzan reverted to his original form. "Hey, hey, you guys are going too far!" he said, releasing cold air from his body, trying to attack Grimm.
But in the next second: "Baa~~"
"So miserable!" Grimm shook his head. "Plank, this place isn't suitable for staying. Let's board the ship and activate the ice-breaking mode!"
Thus, Kuzan, in his sheep form, could only watch helplessly as Grimm's great iron ship broke through the thick ice and sailed away!
Kuzan's mental state collapsed. He really wanted to curse, but his vocabulary was limited. If he were also a crossing person, he would definitely say: "F***ing hell!"
By the time Kuzan reverted, Grimm's ship had already left.
At this moment, a few Navy soldiers arrived from afar.
"Good, they didn't see me turn into a sheep. So embarrassing!" Kuzan didn't want to speak, but he still issued orders: "Check for other injured, and if possible, start rescue immediately. Investigate the pirate ships near the dock, especially that large steel ship! Hurry!"
"Yes!"
After the Navy soldiers began their investigation, Kuzan said to a subordinate: "Bring the Den Den Mushi. I'll contact Vice Admiral Borsalino!"
"Report, report. Borsalino's Den Den Mushi was given to his subordinate during the attack," a Navy soldier said helplessly.
"Why, right at this moment…"
Kuzan shrugged. Although Borsalino usually handled things poorly, it was too coincidental that his chain of command had just dropped like this.
Meanwhile, inside Zone 23.
"It's Vice Admiral Borsalino!"
This was one of the areas hit by criminals, and many pirates had already docked ashore.
The pirates, terrified, shouted and fled. Borsalino didn't chase immediately; instead, he crossed his arms, frowned in confusion, and transformed into an acting monkey: "So strange~ Why can't I find him no matter how I look?"
He looked up and saw a laser beam shoot out from his hand, killing a dozen pirates. Then he muttered to himself: "Well, forget it. Let's clean up the pirates here first!"
In the eyes of the high-ups, Borsalino was not as dependable as Sakazuki in completing missions. His indecisiveness and inconsistent actions often annoyed Fleet Admiral Kong.
In fact, Kizaru was probably thinking, "Haha Acting is so easy ohuhuhu~."
