The two Celestial Dragons started arguing just like that.
The man accompanying them looked utterly resigned at having to work overtime.
Aokiji and Fujitora had gone after Lin Mo's group, while Akainu and Ryokugyu had been sent to work in other waters, so Marine Headquarters could only send Kizaru.
Kizaru had been enjoying his tea while overseeing work in a research laboratory. Before he could even finish his tea, headquarters had summoned him, and his overtime began...
