"Ouch!"

Clutching his head, the guy looked up and glared angrily at Ye Chen, clearly displeased.

"If you want to go abroad on your own, you must meet my requirements; otherwise, you will not be able to leave the country."

With a serious expression tinged with schadenfreude, Ye Chen stared at the guy.

Tesoro and the others nearby could feel the sparks filling the air.

"You stinky old man, you just wait, I'll definitely meet the requirements within six months."

With a fierce expression, Sakura uttered a harsh threat.

"That would be best."

"Uncle Enel, I want to increase the time spent on the Electrical Stimulation Method and learning Observation Haki; Uncle Rob Lucci, I want to extend the time spent learning the Six Powers and Armament Haki; Tesoro, I want to extend the time spent in combat, and..."

Having made up her mind, Sakura grabbed Enel and disappeared from the spot, clearly going to train.

"Boss, the princess seems to have a bit too much pride!"

Bege twitched her lips as she watched the lightning and blue flames disappear.

"Nonsense, Sakura has Conqueror's Haki, and she seems to be going through a rebellious phase right now."

Tying his chin, Tesoro spoke with great confidence and authority.

"I've grown up."

He felt both relieved and sad; in short, he had a very unpleasant feeling. Ye Chen unconsciously recalled his past.

Just as Tesoro said, Sakura not only has Conqueror's Haki but is also in her rebellious phase. She cannot be completely denied; otherwise, Ye Chen would not have made this request, because he never intended for Sakura to venture out alone, as it would be too dangerous.

This is the joy and sorrow of being a parent, but fortunately, Ying is very sensible.

That night, a dazzling Milky Way stretched across the sky, the entire country was brightly lit, and the sounds of people were so loud that they could be heard even on God's Island.

In a prison within Caesar's research facility, Aokiji stood with his hands bound by Seastone shackles, a table laden with food laid out before him. Smoker and Gion sat opposite him, seemingly trying to offer some kind of advice.

"Have you thought it through?" Gion somewhat anxiously.

"What's there to think about?"

Because of the Seastone, Aokiji felt weak all over. Although he still had the strength to lift a wine glass, he took a sip and put down his Gion. Looking at Smoker and Aokiji with great surprise, he said, "But what I didn't expect was that you two would betray the Navy and join the country."

After a moment of silence, Gion spoke, "We've been here for two years, seen a lot, and understood a lot."

Smoker, standing to the side, remained silent, simply continuing to drink his beverage.

"What did you see? What did you understand? I wasn't too surprised that Smoker joined the country, but you surprised me."

After glancing at Smoker, Aokiji turned his gaze to Gion.

Aokiji knew about Smoker's relationship with Ye Chen, but Gion was different. Not only was she regarded as a younger sister by Tsuru, but their relationship was not as deep as Smoker's, so Aokiji was somewhat surprised.

"I witnessed justice, equality, harmony, and happiness in this country, and I also understood what the Navy meant by justice."

Her complexion was normal; Gion showed no shame for betraying the Navy.

"We both understand that justice does exist within the Navy, but this justice only serves the World Government and the Celestial Dragons. There are very few who truly serve the common people. I have never felt true happiness or justice within the Navy; only in the country have I felt that hope from the bottom of my heart."

Do you think that guy founded the country for the sake of justice?

Ironically, Aokiji put down his sake cup and looked at Gion.

"So what? At least he made hundreds of millions of civilians smile from the bottom of their hearts, which is completely different from the civilians under the protection of the navy. I can feel that."

Seeing Aokiji remain silent, Gion continued, "I don't care whether Ye Chen is truly acting for justice or not, as long as we're in the country, we can better uphold justice, which is much easier than when we were in the Navy."

"I won't go into too much detail. Everyone knows a lot about the Navy. Besides, there were reasons why Professor Zephyr and Vergo left the Navy. I think they were just too disappointed! Even Vice Admiral Garp..."

The words weren't finished, but Gion's meaning was already quite clear.

"So he invited the two of you as guests?"

Setting down his glass, Aokiji looked at Gion and Smoker, who was silently drinking his wine.

Looking directly at Aokiji Gion her head, causing the latter's expression to stiffen.

"He didn't ask us to serve you; we came on our own." Momousagi's face was grave, Gion a little nervous. "The Kingdom has the means to strip Devil Fruit; he only cares about yours."

"What?"

Aokiji's expression changed, first with shock, then he burst out cursing, "That guy actually wanted to kill me?"

"You owe him a promise, but you went back on your word during the Summit War, and he blamed you for the deaths of Doudou, Shu, and others, so..."

Gion didn't want to discourage Aokiji, but that was the reality. If she and Smoker hadn't asked to help Aokiji, he might already be having Aokiji Devil Fruit stripped away.

"We have some kind of relationship, yet they're so disrespectful."

His expression was unpredictable, Aokiji's face was rather grim. He hadn't expected Ye Chen to be so ruthless, not even showing any interest in subduing him, even though he was the Navy's top combatant!

This was a bad sign. If he resisted to the end, he would only face death. For the time being, Aokiji was in a difficult situation, which was not what he had imagined.

With such a powerful fighting force, any overlord would try to subdue him, right? But damn it.

Aokiji was no longer calm.

"If he wants to kill me, then what's the point of you coming here?"

Aokiji looked at Gion and Smoker with some suspicion. Could this be a conspiracy? One playing the good cop and the other the bad cop?

"I've come to save you."

Smoker, who had been silent until now, finally spoke.

"We have no reason to lie to you." With a calm gaze, Gion continued, "It would be a shame if you died. Perhaps you should experience the country more."

Their gazes shifted constantly. Aokiji remained silent, while Gion and Smoker stopped talking, letting Aokiji ponder.

One minute, ten minutes, a full half hour later, Aokiji spoke.

"You sent that bastard here in person; I want to talk to him."

Okay.

An hour later, in the pavilion in the back garden, Ye Chen listened to Gion and Smoker's words, his expression indifferent and he remained silent.

"He has already given in."

"And then?" Ye Chen looked up at the somewhat delighted Gion.

"Of course you're going to see him. If he joins the country, then the country's strength will reach a new level."

Somewhat anxious, Gion sat on the stone bench, staring intently at Ye Chen.

"Like taking away his Devil Fruit."

Seeing Ye Chen's reluctance, Gion's heart skipped a beat.

"Leaving aside the question of whether stripping him of his Devil Fruit will be successful, just how long do you think it would take to raise him back to Aokiji's level of strength?"

Gion's face darkened.

"You two don't want him to die?"

Ye Chen slowly sipped his Bitter Tea, watching Gion and Smoker, who seemed a little anxious.

"Right."

Very decisively, Gion and Smoker nodded.

"Then I'll go see him."

Ye Chen stood up, walked out of the pavilion, and suddenly said, "I'll only give him one chance out of consideration for you all. If he doesn't know what's good for him, he can't blame me."

Any power would value the defection of an Admiral of such strength, including Ye Chen; however, if the other party remains stubborn, he wouldn't hesitate to eliminate him!
