"Heh, interesting."
Crouching on the ground to check the Marines' injuries, Sengoku chuckled. "I never thought this fellow would still be alive."
Because of Tsuru, Sengoku had also taken an interest in Xi Yan.
So the moment he saw him, Sengoku had unleashed his Observation Haki.
He hadn't known until he looked, and what he found gave him quite a shock.
That fellow called Sunglasses Man really was the legendary Blood-Eyed Ninja!
Once he had his answer, Sengoku burst out laughing.
If I were still Fleet Admiral, I certainly wouldn't be laughing, Sengoku muttered inwardly. And I'd report the situation here immediately. But... I'm not the Fleet Admiral anymore!
So there was no need for him to worry about this on the World Government's behalf. Hahahaha!
After chuckling, Sengoku got up and walked toward the Marines nearby, soon reaching Smoker's side.
"Did you know all along?"
With a cigar between his lips, Smoker looked calmly at Sengoku. "Know what?"
Sengoku curled his lip. If he hadn't already known the truth, Smoker's expression might really have fooled him.
"What do you think?" Sengoku said. "Don't tell me you don't know Sunglasses Man's real identity."
With Sengoku putting it that way, Smoker could no longer keep the matter hidden.
Still, to let everyone save face, he said, "That fellow is certainly very strong. I suspect..."
"All right, all right. There's no one here but our own people." Sengoku waved a hand, cutting Smoker off. "Besides, we can't keep the Blood-Eyed Ninja's survival a secret forever."
"Huh?"
"Huh?!"
The eyes of every Marine nearby bulged in shock. What had they just heard?
What did he mean, the Blood-Eyed Ninja was still alive?
Was that really true?
Hadn't the World Government killed that guy two years ago?
How could he still be alive?
But
