Chapter 110
"Sorry for the delay. But punching that guy away felt pretty good," Nami replied with a smile.
"Now that you’re feeling better, let’s go. The Marines outside are probably getting impatient."
Seeing Nami in a better mood, Rorschach smiled and nodded.
He continued dragging Rosward like a dead dog.
As they walked out of the human auction house’s main entrance, a large force of Marines had already surrounded the area.
Countless guns and cannons were aid directly at the doorway.
Upon seeing Rorschach’s group erge, Onigumo looked at him nervously — especially when he noticed the Celestial Dragon being dragged in Rorschach’s hand. This made him even more tense.
"Don’t fire recklessly! They have Celestial Dragons as hostages. Do not harm the Celestial Dragons!"
Onigumo imdiately shouted to his soldiers, afraid that so might get too nervous and accidentally shoot a Celestial Dragon.
If a Celestial Dragon died at the hands of the Marines instead of Rorschach, it would be even more troubleso.
The soldiers who received the order swallowed nervously. Their fingers tightened on the triggers, but they didn’t dare move.
"Lord Rorschach, do you even realize what you’ve done? You could have communicated with us and accepted the Warlord invitation. With the World Governnt’s protection, the Celestial Dragons wouldn’t be able to act against you freely. Why would you commit such a heinous act?"
Onigumo asked with a serious expression, clearly puzzled.
He knew he was no match for Rorschach. His main task now was to stall for ti until an Admiral arrived to rescue the Celestial Dragons in Rorschach’s hands.
"Hehe, are you trying to buy ti? It doesn’t matter. An Admiral showing up will make things more interesting."
Rorschach had already seen through the other party’s intention, but he didn’t care.
With the Float-Float Fruit, he could co and go as he pleased. Even if surrounded by Admirals, it wouldn’t matter. Almost everyone on his ship had the ability to fly.
Under his protection, returning to the Ryūyū would be very simple.
"Well, Vice Admiral Onigumo, I’m curious — which Admiral is coming this ti? Or are all three Admirals being deployed?" Rorschach asked.
Seeing Rorschach’s casual attitude — casually ntioning three Admirals without any fear — Onigumo thought to himself:
Has Rorschach’s strength grown this much? Can he even contend with all three Admirals at once?
"If you don’t want to say, that’s fine. I’ll just wait here then. But I guess Kizaru should be the first to arrive. After all, the Glint-Glint Fruit’s speed is truly impressive."
Rorschach wasn’t in a hurry and simply stood in place, waiting.
Suddenly, Rorschach’s eyes turned toward a person hiding in a corner outside the Marine encirclent. The corners of his mouth curled up.
No matter the ti or place, there were always fearless journalists who would report from the front lines.
Similarly, mbers of the World Economic News Service were present on Sabaody. After notifying their president, Morgans, of this major news, they had rushed to the scene.
Since the Marines had cleared the area, they could only hide in secret and film everything.
In the footage, Rorschach was dragging the World Noble Celestial Dragon Rosward, whose face had been ground into a bloody ss.
Even more shocking was that after throwing the man to the ground, Rorschach stepped on the Celestial Dragon’s back.
A Celestial Dragon — soone who vied for world authority — was being trampled underfoot.
Big news! Unprecedented big news!
The news service mbers showed expressions of ecstasy and kept filming Rorschach’s domineering figure.
They knew that once this incident spread, if Rorschach survived, the seas would surely be thrown into turmoil.
Not long after, a golden figure appeared rapidly on the scene.
It was Navy Admiral Kizaru.
After leaving Marine Headquarters, Kizaru had not traveled with his fleet. Instead, he had used the Glint-Glint Fruit’s ability to accelerate at full speed.
He had reached the scene at Sabaody Archipelago in an extrely short ti.
"Oh my, you must be the rumored ’Golden Lion II’ Rorschach. Quite the promising young man, aren’t you?"
Kizaru did not act rashly upon arrival. Instead, he greeted Rorschach first.
"Hehe, Navy Admiral Kizaru. The Glint-Glint Fruit’s reputation is well-deserved. To reach here from Marineford in such a short ti — you really have a tough job."
Rorschach replied in a relaxed, casual manner, as if greeting an old friend.
Toward the end, he even sounded a bit sympathetic toward Kizaru.
"Well, it’s not like I had a choice. You caused such a big ss, Rorschach. I just finished a mission and hadn’t even rested before being sent here. Fleet Admiral Sengoku is quite angry, you know."
Kizaru looked at Rorschach with a slightly resentful gaze, though the sunglasses hid his eyes.
Still, his tone was casual, as if he and Rorschach were truly old friends.
Rorschach chuckled lightly and said nothing more.
"So, Rorschach, what will it take for you to release Rosward Saint and Shalria Palace? If you let them go now, I can guarantee we won’t pursue you as you leave~~"
Kizaru asked tentatively.
"You know I have the Float-Float Fruit. If I wanted to escape, I wouldn’t have waited for you to arrive," Rorschach said with a smile.
"Hmm~ Then do you have any demands, Rorschach? As long as you release the two Celestial Dragons, we can discuss anything~"
Kizaru scratched the back of his head in distress, unable to figure out what Rorschach wanted.
If he beca a Warlord, Fleet Admiral Sengoku could grant him one request and resolve the trouble with the Celestial Dragons.
"No," Rorschach shook his head with a smile.
"Hmm?~~~ Then what is your goal?" Kizaru was even more confused. No matter how hard he thought, he couldn’t figure out what Rorschach was planning.
"Enough!! Navy Admiral! I order you to rescue and my father imdiately! Then kill this lowly monkey!"
Shalria, standing behind Rorschach, could no longer hold back. The arrival of the Navy Admiral had dispelled the fear Rorschach had instilled in her.
She knew the strength of a Navy Admiral, but she didn’t understand Rorschach’s strength. She simply thought he was a small-ti pirate who would be instantly killed by Kizaru.
Shalria felt she had regained control and imdiately issued orders to Kizaru.
This idiot teammate.
Kizaru cursed inwardly.
The situation was already complicated enough, and now she was making it worse. Did she even want to live?
"Hehe? You think you’re safe just because a Navy Admiral has arrived? Let tell you — even if a Navy Admiral cos, he can’t protect you. That’s what I said."
Rorschach ignored Shalria behind him. He grabbed Rosward’s head from the ground and lifted the man up.
"Hey hey, Rorschach, don’t get excited. We can talk about anything."
Seeing this scene, even Kizaru broke out in cold sweat. He raised both hands, signaling Rorschach not to act rashly.
At this mont, Kizaru had lost his initial composure.
