In Marineford Admiral Sengoku's office at Marineford, Fleet Admiral Sengoku.
"What? The 'Black Winged Great Demon' has hijacked a government cargo ship transporting Heavenly Gold and your Marine warship in the New World!"
Listening to the voice coming from T-Bone on the Den Den Mushi, Sengoku slammed his fist heavily on the desk.
Since Ulquiorra burst onto the scene, this is probably one of the many tables that has been smashed.
The Heavenly Gold and the Celestial Dragons are two forbidden zones that the World Government absolutely forbids to touch, and that bastard has now done both.
But ironically, he was incredibly powerful.
According to Kuzan and Borsalino's descriptions, that suffocating power would be so great that even if Three Admirals were mobilized, it would be difficult to defeat them.
Moreover, among his subordinates, "Thor" was a figure comparable to Admiral, and the others were no pushovers either.
After the meeting between the Marineford and the World Government, Ulquiorra was given a higher status than Rocks!
No one has ever tried to win against two Admiral working together, never!
Even Rocks and Roger.
Therefore, the World Government absolutely forbids any direct confrontation with that man without certainty of success.
"What's he going to do in the Affiliated Nation of the World Government? Wait... Sakazuki! What are you doing...?"
Akainu, who was sitting to the side, suddenly reached out and snatched the Den Den Mushi from Sengoku's hand.
"T-Bone! If anything happens to the civilians in those countries, you'll die there!"
His eyes were filled with murderous intent.
Regardless of whether he and Ulquiorra were friends before, now that they were on opposite sides, he had to treat the other as a true pirate.
"Admiral Sakazuki? Rest assured, I am prepared to die in battle!"
"Please forgive my presumptuous decision, Admiral and Fleet Admiral. I... I want the civilians in those countries... to have a chance to live!"
On the other end of the Den Den Mushi, T-Bone was already in tears. After finishing his report, he hung up the Den Den Mushi.
He didn't know whether what he did was right or wrong; he just felt that this exorbitant price of Heavenly Gold was simply unaffordable for some poor countries.
Having spent years in the navy, he still couldn't see the end of the road ahead. Even as Admiral or Fleet Admiral, he was powerless to change the corruption of the World Government.
If... if this man really could, even if he was wrong, T-Bone would be willing.
"Damn it! That T-Bone will kill us!"
On the World Government's cargo ship, the leader, a man in a suit, was in a state of extreme anxiety.
He originally planned to give the things to Ulquiorra, and then take his men to go home with those people.
This way, they could avoid conflict, save their own lives, and still complete the World Government's mission.
Unexpectedly, among the navy personnel responsible for the escort was a stubborn fool who seemed to have no regard for his life. Fortunately, the person in charge did not appear to have any intention of killing him.
Now all he can do is pray that the man will let them leave safely.
Led by the naval fleet, it took about half a day for everyone to arrive at one of the countries where they were going to collect the Heavenly Gold.
But as soon as the boat docked, the sight that came into view made T-Bone's eyes widen in horror.
I had only been gone for a day, and there were already several pirate ships anchored at the port of this kingdom.
"Everyone, follow me! We absolutely cannot let those scumbags harm the civilians!"
T-Bone had no time to pay attention to Cifer and the others behind him. He drew his longsword, leaped off the warship, and ran towards the town.
His men responded to his call, shouting and charging after him.
"What a righteous army! If the people of the World Government were all like him, pirates would be nothing to fear."
He jumped from the Little Ul onto the shore, walked slowly in wooden clogs, and kept sighing.
Cifer and the others continued to disembark, slowly walking in the direction T-Bone and the others had run.
"It looks like they're all leaving. Should we take this opportunity to slip away?"
On the cargo ship, the men in suits, seeing that Cifer and the others seemed to be leaving, suddenly had some thoughts and all turned their attention to the leader.
The latter remained silent, his expression very serious, as if he were also considering the feasibility of this matter.
"Don't even think about it! We will not let you sail away until Commodore T-Bone Commodore the order!"
At this moment, the marines stationed on the cargo ship quickly surrounded them, and some even raised their knives and guns at the men in suits.
What if their departure angers those guys, causing them to take their anger out on Commodore T-Bone, or even the civilians?!
"Honestly, your navy is nothing but a dog under the World Government, how dare you disobey us!"
"Just because we're afraid of that guy doesn't mean you can trample on us!"
The men in suits who were in the lead immediately became agitated; they were members of the Cipher Pol affiliated with the World Government!
Although they are not considered important figures in the CP, their sense of superiority is very obvious compared to these small-time marines.
Without a word, the men in suits started fighting, and in just a few moments, all the sailors were rolling on the ground.
"If you don't want to die, go sail the boat!"
The man glared fiercely at the wounded marines scattered all over the ground. He had made up his mind: rather than gambling on whether those guys would let them go, he would take the risk.
If successful, returning to the World Government would also be a credit: clever and brave, successfully bringing back the Heavenly Gold while being held hostage by "Black Winged Great Demon"!
"It's a real shame that you'll all die whether the ship sails or not. Of course, if you can defeat me, I might give you a chance."
A voice suddenly came from the air. Everyone looked up and saw Lucci, who was also wearing a suit, standing in the air.
However, his suit was white.
"Geppo? No wonder he's Rob Lucci, the former CP9 ace! Perfect, I also want to see just how good this legendary genius, who's said to be one in eight hundred years, really is!"
Seeing that there was only one person, the men in suits breathed a slight sigh of relief. They didn't believe that there could be such a big difference between them, since they were all members of the Cipher Pol.
"Navy lackeys, get the hell out of here if you don't want to die!"
Lucci pushed off with both legs and landed on the cargo ship.
On the other side.
"The ship's doctor! Where is the ship's doctor?!"
"Go quickly and help the injured residents!"
T-Bone ran as fast as he could, leaving a trail of devastation in his wake. He cried out in anguish, but could not stop.
Because there are many more people waiting for him to save ahead.
After running for a while, he finally caught up with the pirates who had been burning, killing, and looting all the way.
The town was in complete chaos, with cries and pleas for help filling the air, while the pirates who had caused it all were still laughing loudly.
Looking at this scene that resembled purgatory, their eyes were filled with pride.
"You bunch of scum! I will never let you get away with this!"
"Right-Angle Flying Bird - Bone - Great Bird!"
T-Bone brandished his longsword, unleashing a sword aura with a sharp tip resembling a bird's head, blasting the pirates away.
But when he swung his sword again, it was blocked by a blade—the captain of the pirates, a man nearly four meters tall.
"I can't let you continue to act so recklessly towards my beloved subordinates!"
He exerted his strength suddenly, and his T-Bone was sent flying by the immense force.
