Magellan nodded. "Fleet Admiral Sengoku, you mean Ye Chen should point out his friends first, and then we ask them. If they don't know him at all, he can't take them away!"
"Brilliant... As expected of Sengoku the Wise General."
Ye Chen pressed himself back against the sofa and rubbed his temples. A trace of worry crept onto his face.
Sengoku's move had left Ye Chen at a loss. Taking a few prisoners from the Fifth Level would be relatively easy.
Taking even one from the Sixth Level would cause enormous trouble, and he still might not succeed. But Ye Chen wanted to try his best.
The prisoners on the Sixth Level were unfathomably strong, legendary Pirates who had once shaken the world. Ye Chen knew that. But he had his own plans. He had never expected to make one of them a companion; that simply wasn't realistic.
Even if Ye Chen got someone out, he wasn't strong enough to keep that person in check. If the prisoner turned on him, he would be in grave danger.
Besides, the Pirates locked up on the Sixth Level were solitary and violent. Even if Ye Chen rescued one, he couldn't expect gratitude, let alone obedience.
So why did Ye Chen want to rescue one? Did he enjoy asking for trouble? Of course not. He had his reasons.
Even if he couldn't gain a companion, getting a prisoner from the Sixth Level out as a "punching bag" he could spar with whenever he wanted would be more than enough.
He had come up with that strange idea because he knew the title of Shichibukai wasn't enough to keep him safe. His feud with the World Government and the Celestial Dragons was beyond repair.
The Marines would show him no mercy, openly or behind
