"Wait, Kizaru," Sengoku suddenly called out loudly.
"Hm? Is there something else, Mr. Sengoku?" Kizaru turned his head in confusion.
"For this mission, you must ensure the lives of the two Celestial Dragons are protected. Put the pursuit of Rorschach on hold for now. His strength is no longer at the level it was two years ago. Recklessly chasing him might provoke him. If the two Celestial Dragons suffer any harm, we won’t be able to explain it to the World Government..."
Sengoku spoke with a serious expression.
"Understood."
Kizaru was slightly surprised. He hadn’t expected Sengoku to hold Rorschach in such high regard. Although he knew Rorschach had destroyed Enies Lobby, in his eyes, the opponent had only defeated weaklings.
The CP9 agents were indeed weak in his view.
However, Sengoku’s grave tone made him drop his usual casualness.
"After escorting the two Celestial Dragons to safety, then proceed with the arrest of Golden Lion II and his crew. I will send reinforcements," Sengoku added.
Kizaru waved his hand to show he understood, then left the room without looking back.
After Kizaru departed, Sengoku turned anxiously to the communications officer beside him.
"Still no contact with Garp?"
"Ah, yes~~ Vice Admiral Garp has been missing since he left Marine Headquarters this morning. There’s been no response to the Den Den Mushi calls either."
Hearing Sengoku’s question, the communications officer hurriedly reported what he knew.
Bang.
"Damn it, that Garp! Why does he always disappear at critical moments like this?"
This was already the third time today he had slammed the table. Usually, the old man’s unreliability was tolerable, but dropping the ball at such a crucial time was infuriating.
"Immediately dispatch troops to search for Vice Admiral Garp. He must head to Sabaody Archipelago for support as soon as possible. Also notify nearby elite Vice Admirals currently on missions."
"Yes!"
Receiving the order, the Marine saluted Sengoku and ran out of the office.
"Damn Golden Lion II Rorschach... Causing one problem after another."
With Sengoku’s resentful voice, the office fell silent once more.
...
Meanwhile.
Rorschach hugged the two sweetly smiling girls for a moment.
"What should we do now? The Marines have probably already surrounded the area outside. An Admiral will likely arrive on the island soon."
"Should we return to the ship and fly straight to the New World?"
The calmest among the girls, Reiju, asked. fгeewebnovёl.com
"Well, there’s no need to rush. The real show has only just begun."
Rorschach smiled mysteriously. He had suddenly thought of a good idea.
Since he wanted to challenge the World Government’s authority, he might as well make the commotion even bigger.
"What kind of bad idea are you planning this time?" Nami asked curiously.
"Well, you’ll find out soon enough. Before that, Nami, go get our target first."
Rorschach didn’t reveal his plan, keeping an air of mystery. He pointed at the Devil Fruit on the auction stage and spoke to Nami.
"Got it." Seeing the Devil Fruit, Nami understood. She gave Rorschach a playful smile and instantly turned into lightning, disappearing from the spot.
She glanced at Disco lying on the ground. When Rorschach had released his Conqueror’s Haki earlier, he had also knocked this guy out along with some of the auction house guards, who were currently unconscious.
Nami looked at Disco on the ground with disgust.
This was the man who treated humans like merchandise. Having been oppressed by Arlong for so long, Nami felt strong resentment toward the act of auctioning people.
Without hesitation, she kicked him hard. Disco flew through the air like a ball, smashing through the roof and disappearing into the distance.
With an ordinary person’s physique, it was unlikely he had survived.
After doing this, Nami felt much better. She had removed a major pest from humanity.
However, thinking back to the girls who had been auctioned earlier, a trace of pity rose in her heart.
Following her brainwave perception, she turned into lightning again and teleported to the slave holding cells.
"Where is Nami going?" Karina asked curiously.
"Well, she probably felt sorry for those slaves from earlier and decided to set them free," Rorschach replied casually.
"I see." Karina nodded.
Nami arrived at the slave cages. The prisoners still didn’t know what had happened outside. They only felt the venue had become chaotic.
After searching the unconscious guards for the keys, Nami tossed them into the cages.
"Miss, what exactly is happening outside? Why have all the guards fainted?"
A cute-looking maid with some freckles on her face asked Nami shakily.
"You don’t need to worry about that. You’re free now. Once you leave here, go back to your hometowns and don’t get caught again."
Nami waved her hand without explaining much and told them to unlock their collars and escape.
"Hey, you pirates over there. It shouldn’t be a problem for you to escort these young ladies off Sabaody Archipelago, right?"
"Ah... No problem. Leave it to us."
Nami’s request surprised the pirates, but they patted their chests and promised her.
Although they were pirates, they were still hot-blooded men. Facing their savior, they were filled with gratitude and agreed to her request without hesitation.
Seeing this, Nami nodded and prepared to leave.
"Wait, benefactor. Could you leave us your name? One day we will repay this kindness. If you ever need us in the future, please don’t hesitate to ask."
Seeing Nami about to leave, one of the pirate leaders quickly called out to her.
He then knelt solemnly and kowtowed to Nami.
This brush with death had made them see reality clearly. Being pirates was no longer viable — their strength wasn’t enough to reach the New World. But if their benefactor needed them, they would gather to help.
Nami looked a bit troubled by their earnestness. After thinking for a moment, she answered:
"My name is Nami. I am the navigator of the New Flying Sky Pirates. There’s no need for repayment. Your strength is still too weak. Farewell."
Although it was a harsh truth, Nami spoke honestly. After saying this, she turned into lightning and disappeared from the backstage area.
"Thank you, Big Sister Nami, for saving our lives! We are truly grateful!"
Even though she was already gone, the pirates still knelt on the ground and kowtowed once more, shouting loudly.
Rorschach hadn’t named his pirate crew yet. But since he planned to inherit Shiki’s legacy, he decided to use the name from the Golden Lion’s era for now.
The next second, Nami returned to Rorschach’s side and tossed the Devil Fruit to him.
"Feeling better now?"
Seeing the trace of satisfaction on Nami’s face, Rorschach smiled.
