Borsalino carried Garp and flew continuously for an hour before finally stopping on a deserted island.
Midway through, he checked on Garp's injuries and found that his physical injuries were not serious, but he was unconscious, which reminded him of Lin Yuan's eyes.
"That was a terrifying move. I didn't expect Vice Admiral Garp to save me from that attack, but he himself got hit!"
Looking at the surrounding islands, Borsalino first contacted Kuzan before dialing Sengoku's Den Den Mushi.
"Hello, this is Sengoku, Borsalino. How's the situation?"
"Cough, cough, cough, Fleet Admiral Sengoku, this mission has failed. I am seriously injured, Vice Admiral Garp is seriously injured and unconscious, and three thousand marines, including Yamakaji, have been captured!"
"Clang..."
There seemed to be the sound of someone falling on the other end of the phone, followed by silence, and then Sengoku's anxious voice came through.
" Borsalino, what happened? Eight days have passed, and for seven of those days the entire sea was turbulent, and we had no news at all."
"Ahem, Fleet Admiral Sengoku, please slow down. I was critically injured and barely managed to escape with Vice Admiral Garp."
Borsalino glanced at Garp, who was lying peacefully asleep on the ground, and then at his own clean Admiral's uniform before speaking again.
"Um, Fleet Admiral Sengoku, please send someone to pick us up and prepare plenty of food. We've been fighting for seven days and seven nights and need energy. Or I can find some food myself, and you can reimburse me when we get back."
"Speak quickly, and you can collect the money from the finance department yourself when you get back!"
"Ahem, alright then, here's the thing, our target this time was a Sky Island, and then that guy appeared..."
Borsalino controlled his expression, after all, their Den Den Mushi could transmit his face to them.
He didn't exaggerate much; from bombarding the uninhabited island to Lin Yuan's appearance, he wiped out three thousand marines in one move.
Then dozens of powerful Vice Admiral, Devil Fruit User the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, and others who appeared to be other Admiral -level experts appeared one after another, completely defeating Vice Admiral Yamakaji.
Finally, he was entangled by the Devil Fruit User the Rumble-Rumble Fruit- Rumble Fruit, and Lin Yuan and that Admiral expert attacked and injured him. At the critical moment, Garp arrived.
Then Lin Yuan and Garp fought a seven-day, seven-night battle. In the end, Lin Yuan was defeated and fell into a coma. He risked his life to finally save Garp, but he was already at his last gasp.
"By the way, Fleet Admiral Sengoku, the enemy leader is the one who liberated the slaves, caused chaos on the Red Line and the Shandora Archipelago, and is the true controller of the Abyss Chamber of Commerce!"
"Furthermore, we didn't leave empty-handed. Before leaving, Vice Admiral Garp and the enemy were both severely injured, and the enemy appeared to have been blinded."
Borsalino spoke subtly, slightly exaggerating the number of the opposing side's Vice Admiral generals, which he considered minor matters.
He emphasized how brave he was, fighting against the Rumble-Rumble Fruit Devil Fruit User, holding back an enemy Admiral, and battling the enemy leader who had injured Vice Admiral Garp for three hundred rounds, among other things.
He was seriously injured, and then fought his way out of the encirclement with Vice Admiral Garp. As for Spandine, who was struck by lightning and then blasted to pieces by artillery fire at the beginning, Borsalino didn't mention a word about him.
What kind of class is he? He's just a lackey of the Celestial Dragons. There's no need for him to waste his breath on him.
Anyway, once he went back this time, he planned never to come back again. He also wanted to take a vacation, get money, and mend his wounded heart.
The Fleet Admiral Sengoku listened with trepidation, as if he could already see that terrifying battle. After all, the seven-day, seven-night battle had kept even scouts from a hundred miles away from entering.
"Alright, I understand, Borsalino. Ensure Vice Admiral Garp's safety. Take care. By the way, did they make any demands?"
A glint of light flashed in Borsalino's eyes.
"Yes, we'll pay 30 billion Beli to ransom the 3,000 Marines including Yamakaji. Also, this area of Grand Line will belong to the Abyss Chamber of Commerce from now on!"
Upon hearing this, the other side fell silent until a long time later, when the Fleet Admiral Sengoku finally spoke.
"I understand. I will discuss this matter with the Five Elders. After all, they also bear responsibility for the serious injuries suffered by two of our top combatants."
"By the way, Borsalino, I'll have someone bring Garp back. You focus on recovering for now. If there's any further news, make another trip and discuss the specific demands with them."
"Cough cough cough cough, Fleet Admiral Sengoku, I'm injured too. You should arrange for someone else!"
Borsalino nearly jumped up when he heard that he was being asked to continue following up on this matter; he didn't want to face Lin Yuan again.
It's not that I'm afraid, it's just that the other party is too strange.
"Hmph, don't think I don't know. At most, you'll just get hurt. This matter is yours. A bonus of fifteen million, and a month's leave."
Borsalino wanted to decline, but upon hearing what followed, he immediately shut his mouth.
"Well, I'll reluctantly agree. Also, please reimburse me for the expenses this time."
"Knew..."
Before Borsalino could say anything more, the Den Den Mushi was hung up.
Borsalino pursed his lips, then smiled and helped Vice Admiral Garp to sit down, before looking seriously at the sea.
"What a terrifying guy!"
Half a day later, Kuzan arrived. Looking at the bloodstains on Borsalino and then at Vice Admiral Garp, he looked on with suspicion.
However, sensing Borsalino's listless demeanor, he said nothing.
After a brief chat, Kuzan left with Vice Admiral Garp.
Borsalino also left the area, found a hot spring under the " Abyss " merchant guild, took a relaxing soak, and then squandered all the Beli he had gotten from Kuzan.
As for Sengoku, after discussing with Vice Admiral Tsuru, he went directly to Mary Geoise, where his angry shouts could be heard throughout Pangaea Castle.
Half a day later, Sengoku left the Five Elders' location in a rage. As soon as he returned to Marine Headquarters, he comfortably lay down on the sofa and dialed Borsalino's number.
It wasn't until an hour later that Borsalino replied. Sengoku angrily agreed to the " Abyss " Merchant Guild's request and would send someone to bring Beli to make contact with him.
After Sengoku left Pangaea Castle, the Five Elders discussed the matter, and especially after hearing that the opposing leader had gone blind, two powerful individuals immediately left Mary Geoise.
Lin Yuan knew nothing about these things, and even if he did, it wouldn't matter to him.
He ate for a full three hours before stopping, and then, with the help of Yamato and the others, he took a comfortable bath.
Although the island was destroyed by bombing, several underground fortifications remained. Yamakaji and the others were imprisoned in a huge warehouse and were given some food.
But escaping or causing trouble was impossible, because Naguri and Enel were happily eating and chatting at the door.
After resting for a day, Lin Yuan's injuries had completely healed, but his eyes remained dull and lifeless.
However, for the strong in the world of One Piece, not being able to see is not a big deal, since Observation Haki is sometimes more useful than eyesight.
"I don't know how long it will take to recover, but it's all been worth it. However, we can't be too ostentatious about it yet."
Lin Yuan stood on a huge rock, gently stroking the " Mandala " at his waist, reflecting on the incident and his experience fighting Garp.
"This is really interesting. So many powerful figures. Looks like I won't be lonely anymore, hahaha..."
