In Konoha: Three choices at the start

Of all people, it had to be someone they couldn't beat—and the same damn person, at that.

"First, as a Marine Admiral, I'll accept assignments, not summons. I can do whatever I want, and Sengoku and the others mustn't interfere with anything I do!"

"But I can guarantee you that I won't disgrace the Marines!"

"Agreed!" The sword-wielding elder accepted without a second thought.

Liuyun had already wrecked the Holy Land and killed two of the Five Elders. He really feared that Sengoku's stubborn nature might lead to a falling-out with Liuyun, prompting him to order the entire Navy to arrest him.

If that happened, the massacre in the Holy Land might well repeat itself at Marine Headquarters.

Besides, Sengoku couldn't possibly control someone with Liuyun's temperament. In the entire Pirate World, perhaps only Lord Imu could...

"Second!" Liuyun grinned, and that smile made the remaining Five Elders and Kong tense up again.

Their hearts pounded. Don't smile like that! You're scaring us!

"What is it? Just tell us!" The bearded elder composed himself and spoke again. All he wanted now was to send Liuyun away as quickly as possible, then consult Lord Imu about a plan.

"I can't stand those useless Celestial Dragons. I don't care what anyone else does, but if those wastes of space dare provoke me, don't blame me for showing no mercy!"

"We understand. Once you leave, we'll warn all the Celestial Dragons!" the sword-wielding elder said.

His tone shifted. "If they still insist on provoking you, it will have nothing to do with us. They'll deserve to die at your hands!"

This wasn't particularly hard for them to accept, either. Liuyun had already killed so many Celestial Dragons in the previous battle.
