Senga pointed to a charred human-shaped body and said to Tsuru,
"That's Vergo. His true identity was an undercover agent planted in the Navy by Doflamingo. He was killed by Kaido in the battle just now."
Corazon hurriedly came out to confirm that what Senga said was true.
Actually, even without Corazon's confirmation, Tsuru, the Momonga, and the Marigold wouldn't doubt the truthfulness of Senga's words, but the presence of the somewhat unsociable Onigumo in the background is a different story.
It's not that he's paranoid, it's just that his personality makes him prone to overthinking, so it's better to explain things more clearly.
After introducing Vergo, Senga pointed to the Donquixote Family executives who were lying in a group in one area; Senga had also made a point of protecting them earlier.
Amidst the flames created by Kaido breath, they were more or less awakened, only to be knocked unconscious again by the half-body Susanoo at that moment.
Moreover, saving them wasn't because Senga had an overflowing saintly heart. Putting aside whether Senga actually possessed such a thing, even if she did, it wouldn't be for these people. To Senga, they were just a few decent Devil Fruit.
"Those men are Donquixote Family officials. Once the other soldiers land, take them onto the ship."
Tsuru didn't ask Senga, who usually disliked leaving survivors, why she was taking the "merciful" approach this time; she simply nodded.
Seeing that Tsuru had no questions, Senga didn't say anything more. She lifted her foot to leave, but seemed to be lacking in strength and almost fell to the ground.
Seeing this, Tsuru quickly stepped forward to help Senga up, letting him lean his head on her shoulder. The others also hurriedly followed and came to Senga's side.
Seeing Senga's pale face, Tsuru asked with concern,
"Are you alright? Were you injured during the battle with Kaido?"
Senga shook her head and said weakly,
"No, I'm just a bit exhausted. By the way, this is the objective of this mission, the Op-Op Fruit. I'm not in the right condition to protect it right now, so I'll leave it to you for safekeeping for the time being."
As she spoke, Senga took out the box containing the Op-Op Fruit from the Door-Door Space and handed it out.
At this moment, Onigumo suddenly stepped forward and offered to take responsibility for safeguarding the fruit.
In his view, this was an important task assigned from above, and given that the strongest combatant Senga, was not in good condition, it was better for him to keep it safe himself.
Tsuru frowned. She still didn't want the Celestial Dragons to get the fruit, and she felt that Senga definitely had his own ideas. Would giving it to Onigumo affect Senga?
Thinking of this, He opened her mouth as if to say something, but Senga, whom she was supporting, suddenly spoke up.
"That would be perfect. I'm sure Onigumo Vice Admiral protect this fruit well."
His words seemed to be full of confidence in Onigumo. Upon hearing this, Onigumo couldn't help but shake his navy cloak, thinking to himself, "See? In the end, I'm the one who has to do it!" Tsuru glanced at Senga beside her, feeling that there was something more to his words, but since Senga had said so, she didn't say anything more.
After a while, a large group of naval soldiers arrived, subdued the Donquixote Family members on the ground, and led them back to the warship by the crane.
Tsuru helped Senga into a room, carefully laid him on the bed, then sat down beside him and asked, "Senga..."
Are you feeling better?
"I'm still a little tired, but it's okay. I'll probably feel better after a nap. I just hope I sleep very soundly during this time."
"Alright, you can sleep here. I'm leaving now. Make sure you get some rest!"
After saying that, He took a deep look at the weak Senga on the bed, got up and left.
After a while, Senga sensed that there was no more movement nearby, which meant that Tsuru had deliberately moved the soldiers away.
With a swift movement, Senga sat up in bed.
Judging from this action, who would have thought that Senga was in a state of exhaustion just now? So, on the island, Senga saying that he had overexerted himself was a complete lie. He's not Sasuke from Boruto: Naruto Next Generations, who seems to have never had enough chakra.
Senga stood up from the bed, and with a snap, clasped her hands together.
"Wood Release: Wood Clone!"
A wooden figure with Senga's appearance slowly emerged from behind him, and then it was painted over, eventually becoming a person exactly like Senga.
After examining the Wood Clone in front of him, Senga nodded in satisfaction.
He rarely uses the Clone Technique in the Pirate World because the clones are often weaker than the original. Using it in previous battles would have seemed somewhat pointless, since his strength was relatively average at that time.
However, it's perfect for this situation. It's still Wood Clone, possessing more power than the original body, making it look more realistic, and it's not easily destroyed when attacked.
Senga opened the Door-Door Space and let the Wood Clone enter. Then, she controlled the Wood Clone to use the Heavenly Phenomenon ability of the Asura Fruit.
The Wood Clone figure within the Door-Door Space began to grow larger, but it did not grow arms.
Then, the Wood Clone formed a hand seal, and with a bang, a cloud of smoke appeared, enveloping the Wood Clone.
After a while, the smoke dissipated, and "Kaido" appeared where the Wood Clone had been.
That's right, Kaido is the scapegoat handpicked by Senga this time.
The original intention was to make Doflamingo take the blame, but that guy is too cunning and would definitely not suffer in silence. Moreover, his strength is still not enough compared to top-tier combatants, and he would easily be exposed if someone came looking for him.
Ke'ai Duo is different. It's not that he's stupid, but as a hot-tempered and strong person, he's prone to losing his temper.
Even if he says he didn't take it, people will still come after him. Given his personality, he definitely won't bother with further explanations and will just do it directly.
Moreover, his strength is absolutely unquestionable, and there's also the Beasts Pirates behind him. If the Op-Op Fruit really falls into his hands, even the World Government will have to swallow this bitter pill for a while.
With everything ready, the Door-Door Space closed, Wood Clone Senga Kaido, used the power of the Door-Door Fruit to open a door leading to the airspace above the warship and stepped out.
Stepping out of the air, they chose one of the two warships carrying the Momonga and the Marigold as their landing site; choosing the Onigumo's warship directly would have seemed too coincidental.
The Wood Clone that became Kaido didn't use any airtime abilities; it simply plummeted straight onto the deck of the Momonga warship.
With a loud bang, a large hole appeared on the deck of the Momonga warship. The Momonga, along with a group of naval soldiers, rushed forward to check the situation.
Suddenly, a Domineering Aura emanated from the cave. The soldiers beside the Momonga rolled their Byakugan and collapsed to the ground. Sensing this aura, the Momonga's pupils contracted.
"That's Conqueror's Haki! Could it be...?"
Before he could finish speaking, a massive figure leaped out of the cave and roared to the sky.
"Hand over the Op-Op Fruit!!!"
