Watching Roger's Execution at the Start

"As for guarding Mary Geoise, Borsalino's speed would let him travel quickly between there and Marineford. The Celestial Dragons wanted him."

"But—"

Sengoku shifted his gaze from Kizaru to Atlas and said with a smile:

"Some of the Celestial Dragons saw that battle not long ago. They're clamoring for you to go, Atlas. They say only the World's Strongest Man can make them feel safe enough."

"Huh?"

Atlas raised an eyebrow, straightened slightly, and looked Sengoku in the eye.

"You want me to go to Mary Geoise? If a Celestial Dragon happens to drop dead while I'm there, I won't have to look into it, right?"

"..."

At Atlas's brazen words, Akainu and the other two Admirals couldn't help glancing at her.

Even Kizaru, usually the most laid-back of them, grew a little serious. He looked at Atlas's calm face with an expression that seemed to say, How scary.

Was that kid threatening the Celestial Dragons, openly and otherwise?

She really did have plenty of grievances with the Celestial Dragons.

"Atlas..." Akainu began.

"I know what she's like, so I turned them down flat," Sengoku said, cutting him off with a wave. "Borsalino is better suited to the job."

Sengoku knew exactly how Atlas felt. He certainly wasn't going to drive her away from the Marines, especially not for scum like the Celestial Dragons. That would hardly be worth it.

"Whew. That's a relief!"

Atlas patted her chest, pretending she'd been frightened.

"Still..." Sengoku changed tack and gave her a helpless look. "Could you show a little restraint when you talk about the Celestial Dragons? Stop taking after Garp all the time!"

Bang!

"Hahahaha! Sengoku, I heard you talking behind my back!"

Garp's unmistakable laughter reached them before he did.

"Hey! Could you knock before coming in next time, Garp?!"
