Just as Luo Han and the Masked Man's battle fell into another stalemate,
Kong arrived at the Satellite Island outside Eternal City's Circular sea current.
The moment he landed, Kong summoned a messenger and asked, "Has Garp returned yet?"
"Reporting to Fleet Admiral Kong, not yet!"
"However..." the messenger continued, "Vice Admiral Aokiji has taken a warship to look for Vice Admiral Garp!"
"Fine!" Kong ordered, "Contact Aokiji immediately and tell him to bring Garp back. That is an order!"
Kong deliberately emphasized his final words. He was still somewhat worried about Garp.
The messenger understood and replied, "Yes, Fleet Admiral Kong. I'll make sure to emphasize it to Vice Admiral Aokiji!"
"Mm." Kong waved his hand, and the messenger withdrew.
At that moment, several Marine Headquarters Vice Admirals approached Kong from the distance.
"Fleet Admiral Kong, what should we do with these pirates?" one Vice Admiral asked, pointing at the surrendered pirates on the island.
Kong looked at the pirates. There were quite a lot of them. If they were all sent to Impel Down...
That was clearly impossible!
There were not enough warships now, either.
Besides...
He turned to look toward the sky above Ark Island. That Transparent Shield was still there.
In other words, even power that surpassed Rocks by an entire level, like that of the Gorosei, still had not taken down Blue Demon.
"What an unfathomable man!"
Wary in his heart, Kong withdrew his gaze and looked at the surrendered pirates under Eternal City, his eyes flickering slightly.
Given the Gorosei's temperament, if they ultimately could not take down Blue Demon, compromise should be their only option left!
Thinking this, Kong said to the Vice Admirals, "Detain them here for now. There's enough food here to last a month or two anyway!"
*What does that
