"You will hold the same status and title? But didn't you say that she was the one who would become the Pirate King?" Asked Shanks in confusion.
Not only was Shanks confused, but his colleagues were too.
"Do you still not get it?" Vermillion asked back, "Come on, both me and Drake are... you know." He explained with a shrug.
"Ah? Ahahaha, I see." Shanks covered his face with laughter after knowing what he meant.
"Alright then, I'll see you again in the New World."
"Sure. If we defeat you guys, we'll tie you up and ask for ransom... but who should we ask?" He said while stroking his chin.
"Oi, oi, we don't have much money, besides, don't tie us up!" He said.
"Ah, isn't there Rayleigh? I can ask him for the ransom money. If I'm not mistaken, he lives in Sabaody."
"Do you really want to take us hostage?" Shanks start sweating.
"Haha, just kidding, relax." He said.
"Huh..." Shanks shook his head, "But for you to know where Rayleigh is, your intelligence must be excellent."
"We only know a few little secrets. Okay, that's enough. See you again in the New World."
Nodding, Shanks led his team toward the harbor.
After Shanks and the others left, Vermillion entered the castle and went to a particular room.
"Borsalino, I'm going in."
Inside, Borsalino, who had served as a spy agent, was waiting for him.
"Sorry to keep you waiting."
"I just waited for a while. Compared to Garp, Zephyr, and the others, I'm much better." He replied as he stood up to greet his boss.
"What's up? Has anything happened in the Navy?" He asked.
"Not so good. Sengoku has always given me various tasks. One of them is guarding the World Nobles." He said with a shrug, "Honestly, I want to kick those World Nobles in the face." Not forgetting, he gave his opinion.
"Well, if you want, just kick them." He gave his permission.
"But, with my current status, it's hard to do so without consequences."
"No problem; if anything happens, just come back to us." He continued, "Our strength has increased by leaps and bounds. I doubt anyone can hold us back in this world."
"Even if you come back now, I won't mind, but... ah, right, it's better to plunder their treasury first. I'm sure they have plenty of Devil Fruit and money." He said after thinking for a moment.
"Marshal, that plan sounds very evil." He said while rubbing his chin, "I can already imagine Marshal Sengoku getting angry."
"When you return with the stolen goods, I will release the real Kizaru. Their misunderstanding will be fun to watch." He said while holding back laughter.
Hearing his boss's plan, Borsalino could only grieve for his other self.
"Okay, now you are free. When you go out, be sure to hide your identity. By the way, don't go to the prison area, lest Garp, Zephyr, and the others see you."
"Later, when the ransom has arrived. I will pretend to seal you with Scheherazade's help, then release you before them."
"Okay~"
