In the Dream Exploration Team's villa...
The lively banquet had been interrupted because two unexpected guests had arrived. One of them was still here.
Everyone else had gone out, leaving only Ryuen behind.
"Hey, Admiral Kizaru, shouldn't you be out there capturing your supernova targets? Why are you lounging around here?" Ryuen glanced at Kizaru, who was sitting beside him in a beach outfit, lying on a sun chair just like him.
This guy had shown up with Sentomaru earlier and imdiately joined their party.
That guy Sentomaru can really eat. After finishing off all the food, he took PX-1 and left, but Kizaru, on the other hand, refused to leave.
"Rear Admiral Ryuen, you're not very respectful to your elders. I ca all the way from the New World, and I'm exhausted. Of course, I need a good rest before I can work properly~~~" Kizaru said lazily, his expression calm.
"That's nonsense!"
"Don't think I don't know you ca straight from Marine Headquarters. It's not that far from here," Ryuen exposed Kizaru's lie right away.
"No matter what you say, I'm tired. Besides, with Sentomaru here, those pirates outside won't be able to stir up much trouble. I'm just here as a precaution, nothing more," Kizaru said indifferently.
"Heh."
"Believe whatever you want," Ryuen said with a cold smile.
"Well, I believe it~" Kizaru replied casually.
No matter what, he had decided to stay here today. If he left, he'd have to put on another act. One was Garp's grandson, the other was a Marine infiltrator.
If the ti ca, should he arrest them or not?
Even for him, putting on a performance all the ti was exhausting, especially under so many watchful eyes.
"By the way, Old Yellow, Fire Fist Ace, the 2nd division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, has been captured, right? How's the Marine Headquarters' preparation going?" Ryuen suddenly asked.
"What do you an by 'how's the preparation going'?" Kizaru suddenly beca wary.
"I an the public execution, of course. Even though you're all keeping it from , I have my own sources of information," Ryuen said casually.
As soon as Ryuen finished speaking, Kizaru didn't respond right away. The only sound left was the popping of bubbles.
...
"I wouldn't know. Fleet Admiral Sengoku is handling everything," Kizaru replied offhandedly.
He felt that this Rear Admiral Ryuen was a bit strange, so he decided to say as little as possible. Less talk, fewer mistakes. However, he was a bit surprised that Ryuen knew about the public execution.
When Fleet Admiral Sengoku planned the public execution of Fire Fist Ace, he specifically ordered that the Dream Exploration Team be kept out of the loop.
To ensure this, he even reassigned all Marines who had sided with Ryuen to different locations.
He didn't want the Dream Exploration Team to know because they had a good relationship with Garp. And the Marine higher-ups knew that Ace was Garp's grandson.
Sengoku wasn't sure if Ryuen would try to rescue Ace because of this.
Ryuen's way of handling things was unpredictable, even to Sengoku. To be safe, Sengoku had given up on the Dream Exploration Team as an ally.
He even made sure that all information about the execution was sealed off from them.
"Forget it if you don't want to talk. It's not really my business anyway. Oh yeah, Old Yellow, you should be pretty close with Vegapunk, right?" Ryuen suddenly rembered sothing.
"Vegapunk? I guess you could say that. Why do you ask?" Kizaru was curious.
"Good, as long as you know him well. I want him to build a weapon. When the ti cos, I'll contact you, and you can introduce to him."
A Nami without her staff wasn't complete, so Ryuen planned to have Vegapunk create the Clima-Tact.
He had already discussed it with Nami, and she had shared her ideas and requirents.
With Vegapunk's skills, the Clima-Tact would definitely be even stronger!
"Hmm... that's not a problem. But since you already know about the public execution, I'll only have ti after it's over," Kizaru hesitated for a mont before agreeing.
After all, many things on Egghead Island were top secret, so bringing Ryuen there was a bit of a concern.
But since Fleet Admiral Sengoku trusted Ryuen's sense of justice, after thinking about it, Kizaru decided to trust him too.
"After the execution, huh... Fine, we've got things to do in the anti anyway," Ryuen thought for a mont before agreeing.
Kizaru made an "OK" gesture.
"In that case, I'm going to go out and have a little fun!" Ryuen got up from the beach chair, stretched lazily, and started walking outside.
"Hey~~"
"Rear Admiral Ryuen, you're not planning to cause trouble, are you?" Kizaru quickly asked.
"Relax, I always follow the rules... as long as no one sses with first," Ryuen waved his hand behind him before vanishing in an instant.
"Why do I have a bad feeling about this...? Oh well, at worst, he'll just destroy a few buildings..." Kizaru muttered to himself before closing his eyes again, perfectly at ease.
"This kind of life is the best. Work is just too exhausting..."
...
anwhile, in the lawless area of Sabaody Archipelago, all the so-called Supernovas had gathered. They were all looking for a chance to make a big move.
Because they all wanted to make a na for themselves!
"Hiss~~~"
"It's gotten a lot livelier... No surprise, this really is the wildest generation..." Ryuen walked with his hands in his pockets, watching the thuggish-looking troublemakers on both sides of the street with interest.
Just then, a loud commotion ca from the direction of the employnt agency.
"A place like that is bound to attract nosy people... Also... I wonder what it would feel like to auction off Rayleigh..."
"Kehehehehe~~~" Ryuen rubbed his chin with a mischievous grin.
Once he got an idea, he acted on it imdiately. Hands still in his pockets, Ryuen strolled toward the employnt agency with an easy, unhurried pace.
······
"Sir, the auction has already—"
"Take a look at this."
"My apologies, honored guest. Please, co in!"
When Ryuen arrived at the auction house, two security guards tried to stop him. So, he pulled out the VIP card the owner had given him.
And just like that, he unintentionally did sothing incredibly flashy.
Inside, the auction was in full swing, with a muscular pirate currently on stage. Noblewon were enthusiastically bidding for him.
Ryuen found a seat in the back and watched the scene with interest.
"Kid, Law, Apoo, the Mad Monk... Tsk, tsk, tsk. You guys really love a spectacle. And Sentomaru... wonder where he disappeared to..." Scanning the room, Ryuen quickly spotted several pirates with bounties over 100 million.
He wondered if chaos would still break out without the Celestial Dragons around.
Half a month ago, ten Celestial Dragons had died in the Doflamingo incident, making the few survivors wary of coming to Sabaody Archipelago.
"Thank you for waiting! Now, let's reveal item number 16! Please take a good look—straight from Fish-Man Island, a rmaid—Camie!"
"Ohhh!"
"A young rmaid!"
"Damn! I didn't expect them to auction off a rmaid this ti. I have to win this one!"
"Damn it! I already overspent on my last slave!"
"Hahaha! Looks like this rmaid is mine, then..."
As soon as the rmaid appeared, the entire auction house erupted in excitent!
