The Marine squad ordered by Kong to guard Sector 15 was useless. They could barely see three afterimages flashing before their eyes.
Grimm noticed the two chasing from behind and put on a smug expression, muttering to himself, "Something interesting is about to begin!"
Not bad. He could play games with the top combat power of the Navy and top Great Pirates simultaneously. The thought alone made him excited.
Sabaody Archipelago, Sector 66.
The number 66 itself suggests something very auspicious. Indeed, not only does the number look lucky, but its meaning is also extraordinary. It's simple: this is an island exclusively for the Celestial Dragons, allowing direct travel between the World Government and Sabaody Archipelago.
Neither Marines nor World Government personnel are allowed to use this passage. Only Celestial Dragons, and those permitted by them, can use this passage.
Generally, this passage is always accompanied by Marine escorts. In reality, no one would dare to hijack a Celestial Dragon, especially not under the watchful eyes of Marine Headquarters and the World Government.
However, today, something very interesting happened.
Several hours ago, Grimm and Redfield, who were fighting on Sabaody Archipelago, broke into the Celestial Dragons' exclusive Sector 66 passage and began fighting there.
It's no secret that Sector 66 is Celestial Dragon territory on Sabaody Archipelago. It's a forbidden zone that pirates and bounty hunters absolutely cannot enter. Even the Pirate King never entered. Yet today, two top pirates broke in at once.
This isn't something that hasn't happened in recent years; it's something that has never happened before.
Seeing the World Government flag fluttering in the wind on a flagpole next to a luxurious hotel in the distance, Grimm's lips curved slightly. He accelerated suddenly, arriving next to the flagpole.
There were quite a few government agents here, dressed in deep blue almost black suits. Upon seeing Grimm appear, they panicked for two seconds before quickly drawing their pistols from their suits and firing relentlessly.
Damn it, this is Celestial Dragon territory! If they cause trouble, they'll all lose their heads.
Easily dodging the bullets, Grimm uprooted the nearly ten-meter-tall flagpole, spun it like a weapon, and knocked away the government agents. He then threw the flagpole like a javelin towards Redfield.
"Hmph!"
Redfield snorted coldly, raised his right hand, and made a thrusting motion. His umbrella tip landed on the top of the flagpole, and he instantly bounced it back.
In an instant, the flagpole grazed Grimm's cheek and pierced directly through the luxurious hotel behind him.
"Waaaaaaaah!"
The government staff and Marine guards standing around, seeing the golden light emanating from the grand hotel with an extremely obvious hole pierced through it, were so terrified their eyeballs nearly fell out. One government official collapsed, clutching his temples, thinking, "We're doomed."
"That's a hotel exclusively for Celestial Dragons!"
"What good deeds have you all done, ahhhhhh!"
Everyone screamed, their tongues hanging out. That's a Celestial Dragon's possession, that's a Celestial Dragon's possession, Celestial Dragons…
Hearing the screams of the government personnel and Marines, Redfield's lips curved into a subtle, disdainful smile. He then looked directly at Grimm. "Is this your so-called game?"
Grimm glanced at the surrounding buildings, all constructed with the finest materials. Truly worthy of the world's top nobles.
Isn't it interesting to destroy these things? Great Holy Light, do you see? These things are built with the blood of commoners!
Grimm couldn't help but sigh. Exploitation! Those wicked Celestial Dragons are even more scummy than I am. Grimm dislikes people who are more scummy than he is!
Grimm wasn't particularly interested in these things themselves. The key was the Celestial Dragons. He wondered what their reaction would be if their property was destroyed.
No, not just him.
Just as Grimm was thinking this, a burly figure suddenly descended from the sky and crashed heavily onto the floor between Grimm and Redfield, shattering the jade floor, demonstrating immense power.
The Marines all showed excited expressions and cheered loudly. That was their Fleet Admiral, Kong!
He was slightly slower than Grimm and Redfield, who had recklessly charged through without regard for the surrounding buildings. Kong tried to avoid damaging the Celestial Dragons' property, which is why he arrived at this time.
Kong turned his head to look at the large hole in the center of the hotel made by the flagpole, then turned back to Grimm. "Is this the game?"
"Holy Light enjoys games. There's no need to be so serious!" Grimm spread his hands slightly and smiled. "How about we fight right here? If you're a Marine, you capture criminals wherever you find them, don't you?"
Grimm was very much looking forward to Kong's choice. Would he disregard the fact that this was Celestial Dragon territory and choose to fight them to the death here?
Or would he avoid the pressure from the Celestial Dragons and the World Government and give up?
If Kong chose the latter, he would be as trashy as the Celestial Dragons!
"Well, make your choice, Fleet Admiral. Normally, when you fight, you don't consider the property or lives of civilians, right? So, will you consider the Celestial Dragons?" Grimm finished speaking, stopped his actions, and smiled at Kong, awaiting his answer.
Redfield's eyes also flickered with curiosity and anticipation. He was also interested in the choice of his old rival, Kong.
Will you uphold the Navy's ridiculous justice, or will you back down under the pressure of the government and the Celestial Dragons?
However, to his regret, Kong pushed his hands outwards, unleashing a blast of air that repelled Grimm and Redfield three steps back. Veins bulged on the muscles beneath his suit. "Don't underestimate me!"
After speaking, Kong's hands turned purplish-black, covered in Armament Haki.
Seeing Kong about to unleash his power, the government personnel cried out in fear, "Fleet Admiral Kong, this is Celestial Dragon territory! If we are blamed, we cannot bear the responsibility!"
The government officials knew better than anyone how petty the Celestial Dragons were and how devastating the consequences would be if Kong were to unleash his power here.
Their orders were to protect this place. Not only was the Celestial Dragons' hotel now damaged, but if Kong were to fight, it would undoubtedly be destroyed.
The government officials certainly didn't want Kong to fight.
"I am the Fleet Admiral of the Navy!"
Kong roared, unleashing a power not much inferior to Whitebeard's. The resulting airflow caused Grimm's cloak and Redfield's long hair and cape to flutter wildly.
"Hahaha, as expected of Kong!" Grimm chuckled!
"Hmph… Interesting!" Redfield also said!
