The shouts that rang out in unison echoed like thunder.
Bastille watched his elite subordinates, who had instantly knelt on the ground, and his expression became dazed.
"What's wrong, Bastille? Do you want to try the strength of my subordinates? Are you planning to take on a hundred or fifty of them this time?"
Kai said coldly, and the soul fire that was leaping in his sunken eyes surged in an instant.
His gaze suddenly turned and landed on Bastille.
This one glance, which seemed ordinary, had a pressure like Mount Tai in Bastille's eyes, making his muscles tense all of a sudden.
Thinking of the comments he had boasted about just now, he now wanted to slap himself in the face.
However, thinking that he was a dignified Vice Admiral and in front of all these subordinates, Bastille still braced himself and said, "Lord Ainz, please forgive my reckless words just now."
"However, as a Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral, the justice cloak on my back doesn't allow me to kneel. If you want to take the head on my neck, then go ahead and take it!"
The somewhat lengthy words, mixed with an awe-inspiring and unparalleled tone, made the expressions of the Marine soldiers in the room change slightly.
Everyone's gazes all landed on Kai.
It could be said that Bastille's behavior now was undoubtedly crashing into the muzzle of a gun.
"Hehe, admirable courage!" Kai said with a dry laugh.
With a step, he disappeared from the spot out of thin air like a ghost with Shave.
When he reappeared, he had already arrived in front of Bastille.
The sudden scene made Bastille's expression change drastically. Even his breathing stopped all of a sudden, and his muscles tensed instantly.
A skeletal hand had already gently patted his shoulder.
"I still need you as a guide for the next part of the journey. As long as you reach the destination and your behavior satisfies me, leaving alive won't be a luxury. Keep up the good work." Kai said with an amiable smile.
However, that skeletal appearance, as it fell into their eyes, gave people a creepy feeling.
By the time the words dissipated, the footsteps had moved away.
And the death army in the room merged into the magic circle like black fog.
Bastille slumped powerlessly on the ice layer like a drowning person, panting heavily.
"Vice Admiral Bastille, are you alright?" The adjutant couldn't help but ask.
However, as soon as the words fell, he was glared at and shouted angrily, "Do I look like I'm alright? Hurry up and pull me up. My legs are shaking like hemp flowers!"
The hysterical roar echoed on the ice layer for a long time.
However, the Marine soldiers in the room had no way to laugh. Recalling the formation of the death army just now, the adjutant couldn't help but say, "Vice Admiral Bastille, what do you think the strength of those four bone dragons can reach?"
As these words fell, everyone's heartstrings were tugged.
Feeling the gazes that were cast from all around, Bastille revealed a solemn expression and said, "I don't know what methods it possesses."
"But the pressure it gives me might be very tricky."
At the same time, Marine Headquarters, Fleet Admiral's office.
Sengoku stood with his hands behind his back, standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, watching the several warships that had already been fully equipped and were ready to set sail in the distance at the port, and his face couldn't help but sink.
"Is there still no news of Bastille? It's already been a whole day." Garp's lazy voice suddenly rang out.
He didn't forget to stuff a few donuts into his mouth.
Watching the leisurely Garp, Sengoku's face sank even more and said, "Garp, can't you pay a little more attention?"
"Until now, we still haven't grasped his accurate information!"
Thinking of the information sheet that Magellan had sent back from Impel Down.
Which was all listed as unknown, Sengoku seemed very troubled.
"Tch, you've already said it's unknown. Could it be that I can know?" Garp couldn't help but roll his eyes and said, "However, haven't Akainu and Kizaru, those two kids, returned?"
"They're all up-and-comers. Let them investigate. What are you having a headache about?"
"It's hard to say. That guy robbed the Heavenly Tribute and is just planning to find a place to hide. Maybe he's already devising a way to return to the New World."
"New World?" Sengoku's expression couldn't help but freeze.
Then, he violently grabbed the Den Den Mushi on the desk and said, "Garp, you're right. If that guy wants to return to Wano Country, he must first pass through the Red Line."
"Don't forget, there's only one stupid way for pirates to get to the Red Line from here."
Stupid way?
Garp was stunned, then his eyes couldn't help but light up and said, "Sengoku, are you saying that that guy is planning to go to the Sabaody Archipelago to coat his ship and use Fish-Man Island to return to the New World?"
"However, there are too many lawless places in the Sabaody Archipelago. Our Marine-garrisoned ports are only half of them. I'm afraid it'll be a bit difficult, right?"
Because the Red Line was like a sharp blade, cutting off the Grand Line.
And the Red Line was a place occupied by the World Government and even the noble countries and other dignitaries.
So the only choice for pirates was to pass through the ten-thousand-meter deep sea and cross Fish-Man Island to reach the New World.
And in this process, the Sabaody Archipelago became the most important springboard.
In history, the Marine Headquarters and even the World Government had thought about directly abolishing this place.
However, losing the last route to the New World would soon provoke conflict between the two sides.
Faced with the pirates' guerrilla warfare, not to mention the Marines, even the World Government couldn't withstand the consumption.
In the end, some places in the Sabaody Archipelago became a no-man's land.
As long as they didn't do anything too outrageous, the Marines would turn a blind eye.
Right now, the Marine Headquarters had defined Uchiha Kai as someone from Wano Country.
Then returning to Wano Country, the Sabaody Archipelago would become a must-pass route.
"Someone, immediately notify Kizaru and Akainu to get to the Sabaody Archipelago as soon as possible. Hopefully, they can directly block him before he enters the deep sea. Whether it's the Impel Down jailbreak or the Heavenly Tribute being plundered, someone needs to take responsibility for these things." Sengoku directly dialed the Den Den Mushi and gave the order in a deep voice.
At the same time, it was almost as Sengoku had guessed.
A ship transporting Heavenly Tribute was quickly approaching the Sabaody Archipelago.
The pirates along the way, and even some Marines, took the initiative to retreat after seeing the Celestial Dragon flag fluttering in the wind.
However, when they watched this huge merchant ship actually bypass the regular port and head towards the dark and deserted entrance to the sea,
Their expressions suddenly became stiff.
However, faced with something related to the Celestial Dragons, they only took another look and then withdrew their thoughts.
Before landing on this Sabaody Archipelago, they had already received the first warning.
Never attack the Celestial Dragons!
