Chapter 351: A Dangerous Bargain
"Marshal Sengoku, when I arrived, Gion had already been captured. I was not able to rescue Gion by myself, so I could only rescue Kake."
On an island, Kizaru was holding a Den Den Mushi and said helplessly, "And this time, the Don Quixote family and the Black Crow Pirates have joined forces to target the navy. The news about the Operation Fruit was completely false."
"How is Gion?"
"I don't know, but I think it shouldn't be a big deal. Maybe Black Crow has some plans for the navy and wants to use Gion as leverage?" Kizaru guessed.
Hearing this, Sengoku—far away at Navy Headquarters—nodded, already suspecting the same.
Otherwise, Black Crow would have simply killed Gion. There would have been no need to take her prisoner.
For pirates, capturing navy personnel alive was rare.
Of course, female navy officers were an exception.
This was the real world. Generally, female marines who were captured would take their own lives to avoid the risk of disgrace.
As for Gion's appearance and figure...
Sengoku couldn't help but feel uneasy, though he kept those thoughts to himself. After all, Tsuru, who was beside him, wore a gloomy expression, her eyes filled with deep worry over Gion.
