"Damn, we've been discovered!" cursed Reisun. Sonic's unexpected shout had exposed Reisun and his team, putting them in a tough spot.
Originally, Reisun wouldn't have made a move without confirming the presence of Palace Mapelseciel.
But now that Jack and his group knew of their existence, they wouldn't let them leave quickly to keep the transaction secret. This meant a fight was inevitable.
Aokiji, on the other hand, wasn't too concerned. He had been looking for a fight, and the current situation suited him perfectly.
Trebol leaned towards Jack, gripping his staff tightly, and cautiously said,
"Lord Jack, we can't let the Marines know about this transaction, or it will cause a lot of trouble for future dealings."
Jack understood this logic, too. If this got out and affected the formation of the Beasts Pirates' army, Kaido would go berserk.
Jack roared, "We must take them down! Get ready to fight!"
He then picked up a thousand-pound boulder from the shore and hurled it toward the direction of the Marines.
With Jack's immense strength, the boulder hurtled through the air, snapping trees and losing no speed as it hurtled toward Byakuya and the others.
This forced Reisun to abandon his reluctance to engage.
Aokiji, meanwhile, had been waiting for this. He extended a hand towards the flying boulder, and it suddenly froze mid-air, covered in a thick layer of frost.
As it hit the ground, it shattered into tiny fragments.
Seeing this, Trebol's face changed drastically, and he exclaimed, "Aokiji, the Marine Admiral!"
The distinctive ability made it clear who they were facing, even before seeing him.
Jack, known for his arrogance and confidence, frowned upon realizing that it was indeed Aokiji who had intervened.
A Marine Admiral's presence here meant they were in serious trouble tonight.
As Jack and his team grew more cautious, Aokiji, Byakuya, Reisun, Reikyu, and over thirty CP0 members emerged before them.
Seeing the Marine's organized formation, Trebol's first thought was that they had been betrayed.
Otherwise, there was no way the Marines would have stationed an Admiral on Gil Island.
Aokiji's gaze fell on Trebol, and he said coldly, "Tonight has been quite an eye-opener."
"I didn't expect Doflamingo to have the audacity to conduct business with the Beasts Pirates even after becoming a Warlord of the Sea."
"Completely disregarding the Marines, once I capture all of you and get to the bottom of this, I'll propose to Fleet Admiral Sengoku to revoke Doflamingo's Warlord status."
Hearing this, Trebol and Diamante turned pale.
Being captured by the Marines was a minor concern. As long as their young master was free, they had hope of being rescued.
But if Doflamingo's Warlord status was revoked and the truth about Dressrosa came out, the consequences would be unimaginable.
But defeating Marine Admiral Aokiji with just a few of them was a pipe dream.
Moreover, the people standing beside Aokiji didn't look like pushovers either. This was a disaster!
Aokiji, growing impatient with their silence, said, "Are you going to surrender, or are you waiting for me to turn you all into ice sculptures?"
Byakuya silently marveled from the side, thinking to himself that the mere presence of a Marine Admiral was enough to intimidate the enemy.
As Trebol and Diamante hesitated over whether to surrender, Jack, without a second thought, brandished two scythe-like weapons and charged at Aokiji.
Every step Jack took caused the ground to tremble as he roared, "Don't think that just because you're an Admiral you can look down on me."
"I, Jack, will capture you today and bring you before Kaido to prove that I am the strongest of the Disasters!"
Trebol and Diamante were stunned by Jack's actions. They knew Jack was strong, but against a Marine Admiral, all he could do was stall for time.
Rushing in foolishly only to get beaten up seemed unnecessary. Byakuya, however, wasn't surprised by Jack's move.
After all, in the anime, Jack had recklessly attacked four Marine ships carrying Admiral Fujitora, former Fleet Admiral Sengoku, and Vice Admiral Tsuru to rescue Doflamingo.
While it was a suicidal act, it did show Jack's 'courage.' With Jack initiating the attack, his subordinates also launched themselves at Byakuya.
Reikyu was about to intervene but was stopped by Reisun. Reisun glanced at Byakuya and said calmly, "Dealing with pirates is the Marines' job, not ours."
"Let's see how things unfold first."
Indeed, CP0 had no obligation to deal with pirates, and Zero Three wanted to gauge Byakuya's strength to see if it matched his expectations.
Without Reisun's order, the situation quickly became Aokiji and Byakuya, two Marines, facing all the pirates.
Trebol and Diamante, seeing Jack's men attacking while only two Marines were currently engaged, felt that with Jack holding off Aokiji, the unknown Marine Rear Admiral wouldn't be much of an obstacle.
They decided to take out the Rear Admiral first and then assist Jack against Aokiji, thinking they might have a chance to escape.
With this in mind, the two, along with a hundred subordinates, charged at Byakuya.
Facing nearly two hundred attackers, Byakuya calmly said, "Admiral Aokiji, give me five seconds, and I'll take care of these small fry."
Aokiji, confident in Byakuya's abilities but cautious of his killing spree, reminded him, "Try not to kill all of the Donquixote Family officers. We still need intel on them."
Byakuya grinned while asking, "All of them? So, I need to leave one alive?" After all, killing more would give him more world source power.
If it weren't for arousing suspicion, Byakuya would have said that Aokiji could just ask him about the Donquixote Family, as he knew everything.
He just wanted to be allowed to kill them all. "Damn, this kid has quite the bloodlust," Aokiji muttered.
"Yes, one will do. Just don't kill them all."
Jack, who had gotten close enough to hear their conversation, sneered, "Do you Marines only know how to boast?"
"Do you think this little Marine Rear Admiral can take out all my men except for me? You're overestimating yourselves."
Byakuya glanced coldly at Jack and replied, "I don't need to save you for last. Once I'm done with them, I'll come for you next!"
