"They left because someone is coming, right?"
Looking at Corazon, who had walked out, Yeyin spoke slowly.
"Your identity is very suspicious. Aren't you afraid I'll report that you let the pirates go?"
Corazon replied directly after opening his Silence Field.
"My identity?"
"I'm an aboveboard Navy colonel, both in background and experience—nothing hidden about it."
"By the way, is Admiral Sengoku coming this time?"
That's what interested Yeyin the most.
"You…"
"I don't know. Maybe."
Corazon was at a loss for words.
After all, how could one communicate with such an odd guy?
In the afternoon, three fast ships arrived at the port.
One person disembarked, gradually made their way into the town, and finally reached the yard.
"Hey, Uncle Sengoku!"
Seeing the newcomer, Yeyin jumped down from the roof.
"Uh… Yeyin?"
"The trash is on the ship; go ahead and get it yourself!"
Sengoku replied directly.
"Got it."
Yeyin immediately activated his Haki and rushed towards the fast ships docked at the harbor.
"Corazon, you're sure you didn't leak anything here, right?" Sengoku asked with some suspicion.
"Teacher, he said it himself."
"I…"
Corazon began recounting everything to Sengoku, including Yeyin's strange behavior here.
Meanwhile, Yeyin had boarded one of the fast ships.
"Hahaha, Vice Admiral Fire Mountain and Vice Admiral Strawberry!"
"It's me, Yeyin. Long time no see!"
Seeing two familiar faces, Yeyin rushed up to greet them.
These two were cunning. Back in Marineford, he'd only managed to pick up their trash once or twice. Then they went off on missions.
So, he figured there should be plenty of gains here with them.
"Colonel Yeyin, you're here too?"
"I heard you caught three pirates with bounties over ten million. Impressive!" Fire Mountain said heartily.
"Yes, sir. I'll get to work first."
"I'll come find you two later."
Saying this, Yeyin took out something that left the two of them helpless.
Then, Yeyin began cleaning up the trash.
As expected of Sengoku, he knew exactly what I wanted.
After finishing, Yeyin walked over to Fire Mountain and Strawberry.
"Sir, let's have a battle!"
With that, Yeyin drew his Muramasa.
"You're still the same."
"Alright, let's go to shore."
Fire Mountain, holding his sword, stepped onto the shore using Moonwalk.
Strawberry, looking a bit helpless, also followed.
Getting hounded by Yeyin about throwing trash was no fun!
"It's only been six months, but it feels like your strength has improved a lot, Colonel Yeyin."
Fire Mountain drew his longsword, exhaling a smoke ring.
"You're too kind, sir. Please!"
"One-Sword Style: Multi-Slash!"
With Soru activated, Yeyin shot forward.
His Muramasa became a blur, striking continuously.
"Impressive. Your strength and swordsmanship have improved significantly."
"It's terrifying; every time I fight you, I can clearly feel your progress."
"A real monster!"
Fire Mountain's grip on his longsword was weakening.
The last time they fought, he could still suppress Yeyin.
Now, he felt the strain from the very beginning.
