Having achieved his goal of deterrence, Senga didn't want to waste any more time talking to these people. He called Kalifa and Ain, and headed towards the main hall on his own.
The people behind them looked at each other in confusion. In the end, Hawk Eyes was the first to follow, and the others did not linger any longer and left the port one after another.
Upon arriving at the conference hall, Senga sat directly at the head of the conference table, crossing his legs and waiting for the Shichibukai to take their seats.
Kalifa and Ain stood on either side of him. Senga wasn't too happy about this arrangement today; having the Shichibukai sit while they stood made him feel a little uncomfortable.
So Senga simply had them sit with him on a chair. Anyway, the chair at the head of the table was very spacious, more than enough for three people.
Kalifa and Ain were a little embarrassed, but under Senga's insistence, they reluctantly sat down on Senga.
When the other Shichibukai entered and saw Senga, their Kakuzu twitched involuntarily. Doflamingo, however, thought it was normal; he usually liked to sit like that.
The Momonga simply ignored it; what Admiral doesn't have hobbies and interests?
After everyone was seated, Senga tapped the table lightly with his fingers. The people below sat there and waited obediently. They felt it was better not to make a scene since Senga didn't speak.
After a long silence, Senga's deep voice rang out.
"From the day you joined the Shichibukai, you should have understood your responsibilities. You can't just get the status of a legitimate pirate for nothing, right?"
The Shichibukai all nodded silently, but their faces still betrayed their disapproval.
They certainly knew what Senga was saying, but knowing it and doing it were two different things.
Even when they were actually asked to contribute during the Marineford War, they all put on a terrible show and didn't give it their all.
Senga glanced around at the group and understood their thoughts. Joining the Shichibukai was just a formality for them; they would continue to act as usual.
Aside from Jinbe Hawk Eyes, some people have gone even further, plotting to seize control of a country.
Senga definitely intends to abolish the Shichibukai system, but that will depend on a specific opportunity. Until then, it will have to remain in place.
However, Senga wouldn't allow these people to live so comfortably any longer. He wanted to teach them a lesson and show them that if you take a bribe, you have to do something for them.
Thinking of this, Senga spoke up.
"Starting this month, each of you must hunt down at least four pirate crews per month, and one of them must be a pirate captain with a bounty of at least 80 million Beli. If you fail to do so, you will be removed from the Shichibukai."
Don't underestimate the current 80 million Beli. This isn't the era of inflated bounties later on, where bounties can easily reach hundreds of millions.
It's worth noting that Crocodile only had a bounty of 81 million Beli before joining the Shichibukai, which is certainly an underestimation of his strength.
This also shows that pirates with over 80 million Beli weren't exactly a dime a dozen at this time.
Upon hearing Senga's request, the other Shichibukai frowned. They hadn't been required to make this request when they joined the Shichibukai.
Moreover, eliminating a few pirate crews is relatively easy, but doing so would further intensify their conflict with other pirates.
Their ties with the Navy will become increasingly deep, and once they lose their status Shichibukai, they will immediately become the target of everyone's hatred.
But with Doflamingo's foresight, no one dared to speak first, and the atmosphere became tense.
A bead of cold sweat trickled down the Momonga's forehead. This was a request that the Fleet Admiral Sengoku hadn't mentioned before. Senga was practically setting this powder keg on fire!
Senga remained seated as if nothing had happened, as if he hadn't been the one making the request.
Seeing that the Shichibukai below hadn't reacted for a long time, Senga grew impatient and said coldly,
"Alright, I've finished speaking. Who agrees? Who disagrees?"
This time, Moria couldn't hold back any longer. He usually stayed in his gloomy lair researching zombies, a place rarely visited, and he didn't like going out, so he spoke up.
"Hehehe, Vice Admiral Purple Kirin, this seems to contradict the previous agreement, we..."
A terrifying gravitational force pulled Moria directly from the chair toward Senga, but as he flew to the center of the table, he was repelled by a Repulsion Force, and his entire body crashed into the wall.
The whole process happened extremely fast. Apart from Hawk Eyes, the other Shichibukai hadn't even reacted before Moria had already disappeared from his seat.
Doflamingo's face turned ashen; no one present knew this move better than him.
He was utterly defeated by this move on Sea Swallow Island, and seeing it again still makes him feel a dull ache in his body.
Doflamingo has many sources of information, and he already knows that the ability is the power of Senga's eyes.
He couldn't help but look at Senga's Rinnegan, but Senga noticed.
Senga merely gave him a cold glance, Doflamingo was struck dumb. He quickly lowered his head and dared not make any further moves; he was truly terrified of Senga.
At that moment, Moria crawled out from under the bricks. He looked at Senga in fear, unable to understand what kind of power it was that he couldn't resist at all.
Senga flashed and stood in front of Moria in the next second, coldly looking down at the disheveled Moria.
Do you have any other comments?
Moria shuddered in fright and shook his large head violently to indicate that he had no objections.
Moria quieted down, but Hancock couldn't take it anymore.
From the moment she arrived at headquarters until now, she has felt constantly threatened by Senga.
Even if Senga's strength is indeed terrifying, how could she, with her pride and arrogance, accept being threatened to this extent by a man?
Hancock suddenly stood up and angrily rebuked,
"Am I here just to listen to you make such unreasonable demands?!"
In response to Hancock's question, Senga replied without turning her head.
"Ah, what else?"
"Damn it! Fragrant Foot!"
Senga's attitude made Hancock unable to bear it any longer. She leaped into the air and kicked Senga, who had his back to her.
Snap! Senga grabbed Hancock's ankle.
Hancock's expression changed, and she said in disbelief,
"You, how could you..."
"Why didn't my hand turn to stone, right?"
Senga slowly turned her head and looked at Hancock indifferently.
Hancock's position was somewhat awkward at this moment. Because her ankle was being held by Senga, she could only maintain a high leg position facing Senga, and some of her views were completely visible to Senga.
However, since she was wearing a long cheongsam today, only Senga could be seen.
Seeing Senga looking at her, Hancock blushed and called out urgently,
"Let me go!"
Chiga didn't want to stay stuck there with her like this, and the way Kalifa and Ain were looking at him from behind was starting to look strange.
Senga released her grip, Hancock immediately withdrew her long legs, quickly retreating to a safe distance, looking at Senga with embarrassment and annoyance.
Meeting Hancock's gaze, Senga remained calm and composed, her lips moving slightly but no sound escaping her lips.
Seeing Senga's actions, Hancock's face turned even redder; she understood what Senga meant.
"You're still wearing it."
