Chương 73: Chapter 73： Doflamingo who ate his melon!
However, amidst his anger, the Sengoku couldn't help but be shocked by Kahn's strength.
"This old guy hides his power way too well," he thought to himself.
The Sengoku was well aware of Sakazuki's strength, but Kahn's abilities had taken him by surprise. The fact that Kahn's powers hadn't been widely known within the Navy was somewhat embarrassing, but it also showcased his strength.
Nonetheless, this complicated the situation for the Sengoku , making him even more perplexed.
"What's happening here? You are both navy's admirals and vice admirals; don't you understand your positions? And you, Pirate Empress, why did you attack Sakazuki? I hope you can provide me with an explanation!" The Sengoku's voice carried both anger and frustration.
His gaze shifted from Kahn to the Pirate Empress, Hancock.
The Pirate Empress, who was regarded as one of the most beautiful and powerful women in the world, had truly astonished him today.
First, she had collided with Kahn's Conqueror's Haki, and now she had repelled Sakazuki. Few were known to possess this level of expertise in Conqueror's Haki, and the Pirate Empress was one of them, alongside the Four Emperors Big Mom.
The Sengoku couldn't help but wonder how Hancock had acquired such extraordinary skills in Conqueror's Haki.
This is not good news!
But he couldn't dwell on it for long, as his attention was immediately drawn back to Kahn.
Kahn noticed a hint of amusement in Sengoku's eyes, and while it made him feel a bit uneasy, he was secretly pleased. Where else could he find a woman willing to protect her husband so fiercely?
"Sengoku, there's no need to be so worked up. This isn't a major issue, just a friendly spar" Kahn interjected.
"Karn, be quiet!" The Sengoku roared, startling the surrounding marines.
"Alright, alright, I'll be quiet," Kahn replied, feeling somewhat aggrieved.
Everyone was staring at him; couldn't they let him speak?
But then, a powerful surge of Conqueror's Haki erupted in the square, capturing everyone's attention.
Kahn couldn't help but react, his face twitching.
"Sengoku, why are you shouting at Kahn?" Hancock asked, sounding somewhat displeased.
She then directed her gaze towards Akainu.
"It was him who attacked this empress's man, or rather, my friend. That's why I intervened."
Kahn couldn't help but place a hand on his forehead; his face was beginning to feel hot. Even though he was the Flame Lord, he wasn't prepared for such embarrassing moments.
Akainu clenched his fists, his silence since the Sengoku' arrival broken at last. "Pirate Empress, this is the Navy Headquarters, not a place for you to run wild."
Hancock retorted, "And so what if it's the Navy Headquarters? It's my beloved's."
"Hancock!" Kahn interrupted her before she could say anything else.
He didn't want her to continue speaking. In his current identity as a Navy officer, he couldn't afford to let the situation escalate further.
In truth, the reason for Kahn's impulsiveness had been to showcase his strength, mainly because he needed to see five elders. Those five elderly individuals were no ordinary opponents, and he needed to demonstrate his power. However, he hadn't anticipated Akainu's intervention, which turned out to be a blessing in disguise.
Furthermore, this boy Akainu had infuriated him, hence their staged confrontation.
However, what had truly caught Kahn off guard was Hancock's direct interference in defense of him.
For a Shichibukai to attack an admiral was a significant matter, with potentially severe consequences. It was similar to Crocodile's previous attack on him. As her husband, Kahn wouldn't allow Hancock to face any repercussions.
Kahn's previous show of strength had been sufficient, and he had not intended for the situation to escalate further. But now, he needed to manage the aftermath.
The Sengoku was caught in a dilemma, unsure of how to handle the situation.
"Since Kahn said so, I will not say more!"
With Hancock's response, the tension in the square began to ease, leaving everyone in a state of shock.
The transformation from a powerful and domineering figure to someone who seemed enamored by Kahn was perplexing. The spectators couldn't help but raise their eyebrows.
The men in the square, in particular, looked at Kahn with a mix of envy and bewilderment. The connection between Lieutenant General Kahn and the Pirate Empress appeared unusual and, to some, somewhat unbelievable.
Soon after the initial confusion, many in the audience began to show admiration and respect for Kahn. After all, he had subdued the Pirate Empress, a woman known as the most beautiful and powerful in the world, with just a few words.
Some marines even started to regard him with newfound admiration.
However, there were also those who felt disappointed, believing that the Navy should not be involved with pirates in any way.
The Sengoku was left somewhat speechless, trying to grapple with the complexities of the situation.
Despite the strangeness of the situation, it was evident that the Pirate Empress was not an ordinary character.
Her actions had already made a significant impression, and if Kahn could have her support, it might turn out to be a positive development for the Navy.
But for now, the central issue had shifted to Kahn, and the predicament remained unresolved.
Akainu wore an ugly expression, Kahn remained indifferent, and theSengoku found himself grappling with how to handle the situation. The square remained frozen as the various parties tried to make sense of the events that had transpired.
The square fell into a momentary silence.
"I didn't expect the vice admiral to have any ties to the Shichibukai; this is quite interesting," Doflamingo's enigmatic chuckle broke the silence.
Doflamingo had overheard the conversation during the meeting when a marine had reported to Sengoku about the fight between kahn and Akainu.
The Pirate Empress had been the first to rush out in a fit of anger, followed by the Sengoku. The other Shichibukai had arrived late. Now, the square was filled with influential figures.
All eyes were on Doflamingo.
Kahn couldn't help but smile, knowing that this was an opportunity. "Hey, it's Doflamingo! I've been looking for you. Since you're here, everyone can serve as witnesses. It's convenient."
Sengoku quickly interjected, cautioning Kahn, "Kahn!"
"Sengoku, don't worry. I know how to handle this," Kahn reassured him.
Sengoku wished he could just punch Kahn right now. Kahn might claim to know how to handle it, but his actions spoke otherwise.
Doflamingo seemed slightly puzzled by the sudden attention. "I'm not sure I understand. What do you want to discuss with me?"
Kahn, however, was undeterred. "I have a question for you. Do you have a subordinate named Bellamy?"
Doflamingo's expression changed for a moment, then he burst into laughter. "You mean that trash? Why, Vice Admiral Kahn, do you want to arrest me?"
As he spoke, Doflamingo wore a mocking smile. In his eyes, Kahn might be powerful, but he couldn't possibly make a move against him in front of so many witnesses.
Kahn, however, remained composed. "That's not my intention, but it's good to hear you admit that the trash is your subordinate." He smiled.
