At Marine Headquarters, Marineford, Sengoku had just hung up the Den Den Mushi with a dark expression.

If Sengoku had not been so well-mannered, he probably would have exploded on the spot.

Just as Sengoku was about to call Kizaru and assign him a new mission, he saw Kizaru walk in through the door.

Sengoku asked in confusion, "Borsalino, why are you back already?"

"Fleet Admiral Sengoku, am I not allowed to come back?" Kizaru could clearly sense that Sengoku was in a terrible mood.

Could Fleet Admiral Sengoku have found out in advance that I failed the mission?

Seeing Kizaru's puzzled expression, Sengoku said, "Just now, the Marine commodore stationed at the Sabaody Archipelago reported news regarding the Celestial Dragons."

"Three Celestial Dragons have now been kidnapped by Luo Chen's people. They even warned me, the fleet admiral, that if we want to ransom them back, we have to pay a sufficient price!"

"That... is terrifying! Kidnapping Celestial Dragons?" Kizaru replied with a lecherous yet shocked expression. This was completely beyond his expectations.

After recovering from his shock, Kizaru told Fleet Admiral Sengoku everything that had happened at the Sabaody Archipelago.

After hearing it all, Sengoku was no less shocked than Kizaru. "You're saying that Luo Chen possesses swordsmanship at the level of a Great Swordsman? You really aren't lying to me?"

"What would I gain from lying to you, Fleet Admiral Sengoku?" Kizaru replied, looking at Sengoku with dead-fish eyes.

"That's true. You have no reason to lie to me. There's nothing in it for you," Sengoku said with a nod.

Sengoku tapped his fingers against the desk. "It seems the Marines have severely underestimated Luo Chen. And that Luo Chen really has some nerve!"

"If we weren't about to go to war with the Whitebeard Pirates, I'd truly like to send out two admirals and suppress Luo Chen directly. He even dared to kidnap Celestial Dragons?"

Still wearing that lecherous expression, Kizaru said, "I thought that rookie was merely strong. Turns out he's this bold too? How terrifying!"

Sengoku's tone became extremely serious. "Based on the current intelligence, Luo Chen possesses all Three-Color Haki and is also a Float-Float Fruit user."

"His Observation Haki is highly refined, and he also possesses swordsmanship at the level of a Great Swordsman. His Armament Haki is comparatively weaker. Taken as a whole, his strength is already extremely close to admiral level."

"From this, we can conclude that Luo Chen will sooner or later become a powerhouse on the level of the Four Emperors."

"I have no idea where that brat Luo Chen came from. He's so young, yet he already possesses such formidable strength."

"Fleet Admiral Sengoku, we don't have enough manpower or energy to deal with Luo Chen right now," Kizaru replied after finding himself a seat.

Sengoku said, "Raise Luo Chen's bounty to 500 million Beli. Also, place a 50 million Beli bounty on the former CP9 member Kalifa. Tashigi will receive the same."

Meanwhile, Luo Chen flew ten thousand meters into the sky, carrying a large bag of food with him.

"Luo Chen, you're back!" Seeing Luo Chen return safely, Tashigi was finally relieved.

Kalifa asked, "Luo Chen, what are our next arrangements?"

"We'll rest for a while and wait for the real show to begin," Luo Chen replied with a mysterious smile.

Kalifa and Tashigi did not know what grand show Luo Chen was referring to, but they assumed it might have something to do with the Celestial Dragons.

Luo Chen said, "Bring those three Celestial Dragons out."

Upon receiving the order, Kalifa immediately dragged the three Celestial Dragons out.

"Damn humans, you're all dead! I'll have the Marine admirals capture you, and then torture you all to death!" Saint Roswald wailed and shrieked without end.

Saint Charlos and Saint Shalria were much the same.

Luo Chen said, "Kalifa, teach them a lesson. Let them understand what it means to be quiet."

"Okay, Luo Chen," Kalifa replied excitedly.

Teaching Celestial Dragons a lesson was something Kalifa had never even dared to imagine before!

Now that she had followed Luo Chen, it had truly become reality.

Pasiya, who had only just joined them, felt her worldview being constantly overturned.

That man is terrifying. He even dares to treat Celestial Dragons like this.

About half an hour later, the three Celestial Dragons finally quieted down. They were afraid of being tormented any further.

Only at that moment did the three of them understand just how terrifying it was to be tormented by others.

Saint Roswald, Saint Charlos, and Saint Shalria were brought before Luo Chen once more.

Luo Chen smiled faintly. "Can you three trash finally listen to me properly now?"

"Please let us go. I can give you lots and lots of money. Whatever you want is fine," Saint Roswald said fearfully.

Saint Charlos immediately followed suit in terror. "I have lots and lots of slaves that I can give you. Beli is fine too. I can give you anything."

"Me too. Just tell us whatever you want," Saint Shalria replied, equally terrified.

"Hahaha!" Luo Chen threw back his head and laughed. "Celestial Dragons truly are laughable creatures."

"Others might fear you, but I don't. Understand?"

"My first condition is for her to serve me. First, she has to make me happy enough. Otherwise, you understand the consequences. If they're severe enough, I'll simply torment you to death." Luo Chen pointed at Saint Shalria.

Saint Shalria was instantly dumbfounded. She had never imagined that this person would target her.

"Sure, no problem," Saint Roswald agreed without a second thought.

Saint Charlos, overwhelmed by terror, was no longer foolish at this moment. He also agreed, saying, "Do whatever you want with my sister."

"Father, Brother, you...?" Saint Shalria felt as though her entire world had fallen apart.

Her father and brother had abandoned her just like that?

She could not imagine what kind of horror awaited her next.
