Attack, the Three Top Officers

The new day brought clear skies and exceptionally good weather.

At Marineford Harbor, ten warships, flying the banner of justice, fluttered gently in the sea breeze.

"Ring ring ring"

With his hands cuffed in Seastone Handcuffs and his neck bound by Seastone chains, two Rear Admiral pushed a man covered in bandages out of headquarters.

"Zephyr, all the way with heart."

At the port, Sengoku glanced coldly at the expressionless Golden Lion, then gave instructions to Zephyr before him. "Ever since capturing Golden Lion, Sengoku has recalled Zephyr. To avoid any unforeseen complications, only Zephyr, at his peak strength, is allowed to escort Golden Lion."

As for Garp and Sengoku, they are currently covered in bandages and recovering from their injuries.

Without saying anything, Zephyr nodded.

After giving Zephyr his instructions, Sengoku turned his gaze to Ye Chen and Sakazuki. "This time, someone will surely come to rescue the Golden Lion. Although our investigation revealed that this bastard suffered heavy losses due to the Ward Sea Battle a few years ago, we still can't let our guard down."

"Knew."

Ye Chen and Sakazuki nodded, then boarded the warship.

Braving the winds and waves, Zephyr led the team, with Ye Chen and Sakazuki following closely behind, along with more than a dozen Headquarters Vice Admiral Impel Down, the Deep-Sea Great Prison.

This time, Ye Chen was alone; Bai Doudou, Hina, and the others were left behind in Marineford.

Marineford still in ruins and requires a lot of military force to repair, so it was ruthlessly requisitioned by Crane.

Marineford isn't far from the Deep-Sea Great Prison; it should take about half the journey to get there.

This time, not only was Zephyr present, but also ten accompanying warships. They were quite powerful, just in case the Golden Lion's subordinates were involved.

The voyage proceeded smoothly and calmly, and the warship slowly began to leave the waters surrounding Marineford. At this moment, Ye Chen walked towards the room where the Golden Lion was imprisoned. It was a specially made cell, entirely constructed of Seastone.

With disheveled hair and looking rather unwell, the Golden Lion, though bound hand and foot, still exuded an imposing and Haki -inspiring aura, looking at Ye Chen's arrival with disdain.

"I want to know the whereabouts of someone named Elwin."

Ye Chen went straight to the point without any preamble, looking at the Golden Lion and giving a dismissive look.

"Jehovah hahaha ghost."

The Golden Lion simply let out a wild, domineering laugh, then looked at Ye Chen with disdain, appearing superior in every way.

"You are already a prisoner. I don't want to trample on your dignity to interrogate you; that would be a disgrace for a king."

Without a flicker of emotion in his eyes, Ye Chen looked at the Golden Lion, his tone calm.

The Golden Lion suddenly looked up, and its previous disdainful expression vanished instantly, replaced by surprise.

"Go ahead!" Ye Chen opened the strong liquor he had brought and held it to the Golden Lion's mouth. The Golden Lion, unfazed by the poison, gulped it down.

"Hahaha, good wine!"

After finishing his drink, the Golden Lion paused for a moment, then frowned and said, "Your Elwin? I don't have such a person under my command."

Ye Chen was very dissatisfied with the Golden Lion's answer, but he knew that a proud king like the Golden Lion would not lie to him.

Looking at Ye Chen, who was frowning, the Golden Lion felt a peculiar sensation for some reason. "Boy, you are very different."

"Unfortunately, I didn't get what I wanted."

"Aren't you afraid I'll lie to you?" the Golden Lion asked, surprised.

"A man of imposing stature, a man of kingly bearing, a man who could suppress Roger, would disdain to do such a thing."

After glancing at the Golden Lion, Ye Chen prepared to leave.

"Hahaha, I never expected that besides Garp, the Navy would have another Conqueror's Haki user. That's quite surprising!"

Ye Chen paused for a moment. He wasn't too surprised that Golden Lion could sense his Conqueror's Haki; after all, Shiki had seen more of life than he had.

Ye Chen is not arrogant enough to think that he can compare with these old monsters. However, given a little more time, he believes that one day he will step on their heads.

Just then, the entire warship suddenly began to shake.

"Whoosh!"

On the only road to Impel Down, the artillery company had unknowingly encountered more than twenty pirate crews, and the two sides were currently exchanging cannon fire.

"Fire"

The seawater exploded, a deafening roar, and the entire sea was filled with raging waves. By the time Ye Chen reached the deck, the situation was already on the verge of erupting.

"Zephyr, hand over our captain, or this place will be your burial ground."

Directly in front of the warship was a massive pirate ship, upon which stood three men draped in pirate coats, their auras blazing like the sun.

"Those damned pirates."

On the deck, Sakazuki stared at the twenty-odd pirate ships opposite him with a grim face, as if they were dead.

"Are these guys all from the Flying Pirates?"

Gazing across the room, Ye Chen searched, but unfortunately, he didn't see the person he was looking for.

"Dest, Patrick, Calstella, the three highest-ranking officers of the Flying Pirates."

Clenching his fist, he saw Vice Admiral on the deck and named the three men leading the opposing group.

"Dest, Paramecia -type Devil Fruit User, Corrosion Fruit user, bounty 698 million."

"Patrick, Paramecia Devil Fruit Devil Fruit User, bounty 732 million."

"Calstella, Paramecia Devil Fruit User, bounty 789 million."

They were all notorious pirates with bounties exceeding 500 million.

"I didn't expect the three of you to still be alive." Zephyr stood at the bow of the ship, looking at Dest and the other two with sharp eyes.

"Hmph, Zephyr, you'd better hand over our captain if you know what's good for you, or don't blame us for being impolite." Patrick, a scarred, short-bearded giant, threatened Zephyr without any fear of him.

"Flowing Volcano."

Without further ado, Sakazuki, who had been holding back for a long time, attacked directly. His fists pounded out, and countless huge lava fists, like a meteor shower, kept crashing down on the opponent. If they were to hit the target, the opposing pirate ship would likely be completely destroyed.

"Magma Demon."

Seeing the Magma Fist rushing towards them, a figure appeared in mid-air, looking at Sakazuki with disdain, and used his ability.

"Break!"

The strange, net-like energy covering most of the Magma Fist caused its unstoppable attack to shatter into countless fragments upon contact with the energy, losing its impact and plummeting into the sea.

Suddenly, white mist rose from the sea.

"Patrick's abilities can shatter any energy attack; only physical strength can defeat him."

After stretching his body, Zephyr had clearly set his sights on Patrick, because the latter's ability only worked on energy and had no effect on the physical body. People with such special abilities or obvious weaknesses, pure physical strength experts, were simply a nightmare.

However, being able to offer a bounty of 732 million is not solely due to ability; otherwise, with such a flaw, it would be impossible to offer such a high bounty.

In other words, this man made good use of his shortcomings and was also a master of physical combat.
