Chapter 69: Trading
In just half an hour, the full Marine force arrived, almost like a Buster Call. Along with five Vice Admirals, there were two Admirals and even the Fleet Admiral himself.
It was nearly the strongest lineup the Marines could bring—only Garp and Aokiji were absent.
"Hmm, but why didn't they come?" Dave wondered as he counted the number of ships approaching the island.
Dave glanced around, noticing several masked individuals among the approaching Marine force.
"CP0, huh? I don't know their exact strengths," he thought. "Though from the aura they're emitting, it's clear they're around peak Vice Admiral level powerhouses."
He turned his attention to his crew, evaluating their strengths. "Tony's power is now at Vice Admiral level, while Enel's strength has reached Admiral level. As for me, I'm at Four Emperor level." A slight smile crept across his lips.
"Plus, with Rayleigh on our side, that makes two Emperor-level powerhouses." Confident in their advantage, Dave continued to sit back leisurely, waiting for the Marines to arrive.
The sound of marching boots and the rumble of ships filled the air as the Marine force landed on the shores of the island. Admirals Akainu and Kizaru stepped forward, their eyes sharply focused on group ahead. Fleet Admiral Sengoku stood beside them, arms crossed, his gaze as cold as he looked at them.
Vice Admirals and CP0 agents lined up behind them, their presence formidable. The Marines had come prepared to end this confrontation decisively, not underestimating the force they faced.
