After finishing, Haku glared at those agents hiding in the corners, making the latter feel their scalps tingle slightly.
The Den Den Mushi fell silent for a moment, obviously recalling the reports from his subordinates!
The Five Elders' Birthmark softened his tone slightly at this, though he still spoke with a hard attitude, "That Celestial Dragon still ended up getting injured in your hands, didn't he!"
Haku curled his lips and said, "He brought that upon himself. Clearly seeing that I was surrounded by lightning, he still rushed over to stab me."
"You...!" The Five Elders' Birthmark was choked up a bit by such a sarcastic remark!
"Alright then! Nothing much else, I'm hanging up!" With that, Haku really reached out to put the receiver back.
"Wait!" An anxious voice came from the other end. Evidently, Haku's rogue behavior caught the other party off guard.
"Could it be that you don't intend to give an explanation for this matter!" The voice of the Five Elders' Birthmark came through once again.
Hearing this sentence, Haku smiled brightly. He handed the receiver in front of himself once more: "Old Man!"
As he spoke, Haku stepped his foot right onto Saint Charlos's body!
"What the ** do you mean, you don't know I was inexplicably shot dozens of times by this pig, and on top of that, the guy even stabbed me with a knife!"
"And from start to finish, I exercised endless restraint. Believe it or not, I'll slaughter this Celestial Dragon right now! And then, defect from the Marines!!!"
Hearing this, Kuzan's expression changed drastically: "Hey, hey, hey! Haku, you can't joke about something like this!"
However, Haku was not joking at all. If it weren't for old man Garp, he really would have defected from the Marines!
Haku's threatening words directly left the Five Elders' Birthmark speechless!
At this point, the Five Elders' Sword chimed in, "Kid! Aren't you afraid that we'll destroy you?!!"
Hearing this, a disdainful smile appeared at the corner of Haku's mouth. Amidst Kuzan's astonished gaze, a flash of lightning shot from Haku's wrist toward the sky, and a startling thunderclap exploded!
It struck the Ark Maxim that Haku had anchored in the port!
Crack, crack, crack!
The Ark Maxim continuously whirred into operation, and endless rolling black clouds drifted toward the upper reaches of the Red Line!
Having done all this, Haku said to the Den Den Mushi, "Guess what! When countless bolts of lightning strike Marineford! Can you high-and-mighty Celestial Dragons block them or not?"
"Bastard! You brat, what on earth have you done?!!"
After listening to Haku's threatening words, the Five Elders finally discovered the anomaly above the sky of Holy Land Marijoa!
Haku smiled, and he smiled very brightly!
He said to the other end of the Den Den Mushi, "I'm also considered a reasonable person."
Reasonable your sister! Where on earth are you reasonable! Do you dare remove the thundercloud over Holy Land Marijoa before talking to us!
In their hearts, the Five Elders could only rage helplessly.
Unfazed, Haku continued speaking, "After all, this matter started because of you Celestial Dragons in the first place. So you should wire some military funds into the Marine account! I don't ask for much, how about five or six billion Bellys."
"Consider it my compensation for emotional distress!"
"Do you have any idea that you are extorting us!" said the Five Elders' Birthmark through gritted teeth.
"Hmph! You can put it that way. What? Can dignified Celestial Dragons not even afford five or six billion Bellys?" Haku said with a smile.
The Five Elders' Birthmark glanced at the sky of Mary Geoise, and after exchanging glances with the others, he agreed, "I'll pay!"
"That's more like it! Why so stingy, five or six billion is merely a drop in the bucket compared to the Tengyōkin, isn't it!" Even now, Haku didn't forget to provoke the other party a little.
Before the other party could flare up again, Haku stated directly, "Alright, wire the money. As long as the money arrives, I'll clear away the thunderclouds over Marijoa immediately!"
Meanwhile, Kuzan stood next to Haku covered in cold sweat. Anyway, he had watched all of Haku's outrageous operations from start to finish!
As for why Kuzan didn't stop Haku's willful and reckless behavior? Kuzan could only express that he couldn't beat him.
A short while later, Sengoku called again!
Haku answered the Den Den Mushi in his hand with a beaming smile and said, "Marshal, did you receive the money?"
This sentence left Sengoku rather silent on the other end, and he asked, "Haku, did you do something?"
That was really hard to explain! But judging by the situation, Sengoku must have received the Bellys, so Haku told Sengoku without hesitation, "You can have Kuzan explain the specific details to you, right? I have things to do and won't be back in Marineford until tomorrow."
"Hanging up now!" Without waiting for Sengoku to react, Haku abruptly hung up on him!
And Haku even tossed the Den Den Mushi to the still-dazed Kuzan!
At this moment, the Five Elders' Birthmark on the line that hadn't been hung up yet said, "Kid! Now that the money has been received, can you take that thing in the sky away!"
"Of course!" Actually, back when Sengoku called, Haku was already controlling the thunderclouds to disperse.
However, it would still take at least ten-odd minutes for them to completely dissipate, and Haku didn't want to listen to the Five Elders' nonsense, so he decisively hung up the phone in his hand!
At this time, Kuzan spoke up, "Haku, acting so wildly, aren't you afraid the Five Elders will strip you of your Admiral position?"
Haku glanced at Kuzan sideways, then said, "As long as they're willing to! Too bad those old codgers won't easily let go of someone like me whose definite strength can threaten the World Government!"
Kuzan nodded! Come to think of it, although he hadn't seen Haku in nearly half a year, he could still sense from the finer details that Haku's strength was far greater than it had been when he first became an Admiral!
And if the Five Elders really did strip Haku of his Admiral position and cause Garp to retire early, then things would truly blow up.
One had to know that in the world of pirates, the Hero of the Marines Garp was universally acknowledged, and he was also the living signboard for Marine recruitment!
If the grandson he had painstakingly trained to become an Admiral were stripped of his position because of a Celestial Dragon, then without a doubt, the Marine side would blow their tops first.
Ten-odd minutes passed pretty quickly. Since Haku had only recently eaten the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, driving away the thunderclouds in the sky was still a bit strenuous for him.
As for why he was able to use his Devil Fruit abilities to a degree capable of threatening Holy Land Marijoa so soon after eating it,
that could only mean Enel hadn't developed the Rumble-Rumble Fruit very well at all! There was no helping it when a guy who claimed to be a god all day long lived solely inside his own world.
"Phew! Done!" Haku said after taking a light breath.
At this, Kuzan asked in confusion, "The Devil Fruit ability you used just now should be the one, right?"
