"What the heck has happened?!" Returning to the real world, Vermilion was shocked by the scene he saw.
Li Shuwen and Garp were both covered in blood, both of them lying on the ground. Li Shuwen could be heard groaning in pain, whereas Garp had passed out.
"Tsunade, quickly heal Li Shuwen." Vermilion gave quick instructions.
"Master, don't worry, I won't die easily, haha. But as you can see, my current state is a little scary." Li Shuwen chuckled while enduring the pain.
Looking at Garp, who was lying not far from him, Li Shuwen shook his head. "Give that old man some treatment first. Otherwise, he might really die."
"No need, I will take care of both of you simultaneously." Tsunade laid Li Shuwen down beside Garp. Moments later, both of her palms glowed with chakra flow.
"Drake, Musashi, Emiya... what exactly happened?" Vermilion approached Drake and asked.
"None of you were injured, but why was Li Shuwen injured so badly?"
"Li Shuwen asked us not to interfere." Emily could only shake his head.
"Don't think too much Master. As long as Tsunade is around, let Li Shuwen have a little fun. You know? Sometimes people want to go all out." Drake said as she hugged her Master.
"Yes, that's right. Besides, Li Shuwen will be fine, hehe~" Musashi ran over while holding her Master's hand.
"Huff- Li Shuwen, even though you are not young anymore, your burning heart still there." Vermilion sighed.
"Haha, I'm sorry, Master." Li Shuwen apologized with a laugh.
"I didn't plan to go all out like this, but when I fought him, my heart started to burn."
"As long as you are fine, then I won't mind it." Vermilion nodded.
"Tsunade, how are they?"
"Even though both of them are seriously injured, but this kind of wound won't be a problem for me." Tsunade said proudly.
"Good job. As for Garp, there's no need to heal him completely, treat his fatal injuries, after that let him heal on his own."
"Since we have won this battle, we will tie up Garp and take him hostage. This way we can demand ransom from the Marines."
"But Master, didn't you say you wouldn't do it if Garp brought enough Belly on his ship?" Drake chimed in.
"I know Garp's character well, even though I say so, but I'm sure that this old man really doesn't have a dime with him." Vermilion chuckled.
"Emiya, wake up that Marine Colonel, then let him report to Sengoku." Glancing at the Marine soldiers lying around, Vermilion made a decision.
"Okay." Emiya answered briefly.
***
"Fleet Admiral."
"Report, sir! I am Colonel in charge of Loguetown, East Blue."
"I have a very important report! The Naval Hero, Garp, and Admiral Kizaru have been captured by Drake's Pirates!"
"Nani?!" Sengoku almost jumped.
"Colonel, do you know what you're talking about? Are you trying to make a joke?!"
"Report, sir! The report is true. Vice Admiral Garp is currently being healed by the pirates."
When the Colonel woke up, he himself was also in disbelief. The mighty Naval Hero had actually been defeated!
Apart from Garp, Admiral Kizaru was also caught simultaneously, which made him feel very horrified! Actually, how strong is Drake's Pirate?
For the sake of Vice Admiral Garp and Admiral Kizaru's safety, the Colonel had no choice but to comply with the Pirate's request.
"Garp is receiving treatment?!"
"Is Garp hurt? Is it bad?!" Hearing that his comrade was injured, Sengoku hurriedly asked.
"Yes, sir! The wound is very bad!" The Colonel nodded as he glanced at Garp's bloodied figure.
"Fleet Admiral Sengoku, I beg you to agree to the pirates' request, otherwise I fear that they will kill Vice Admiral Garp and Admiral Kizaru."
Hearing the Colonel's anxious words, Sengoku became silent.
"What kind of request did they make?"
"Tell them, as long as they want to return Garp and Kizaru, I will grant any request." Sengoku said.
"They asked for two billion Belly as well as two [Logia-type Devil Fruits]. As long as the Marines agree to their request, they promise to return Vice Admiral Garp and Admiral Kizaru."
"That man named Vermilion made it clear that they will not accept negotiations. If you refuse, they will send the hostage heads!"
Hearing the Pirate's exaggerated request, Sengoku immediately hit his desk. The desk that had accompanied him during his tenure as Fleet Admiral had now been completely destroyed!
"Cough, cough!" At this time, Garp, who had received Tsunade's treatment, finally regained his senses.
After taking good care of Garp, Tsunade focused on Li Shuwen's treatment.
The Marine Colonel, who heard Garp's voice, hurriedly turned his head. With enthusiasm, he reported Garp's condition to Fleet Admiral Sengoku.
"Report, sir! Vice Admiral Garp has woken up!"
