"Fleet Admiral Sengoku, it's nice to meet you." Under Aokiji's lead, Rambo entered Marineford, the Navy Headquarters.
Sengoku received Rambo in the reception room. Rambo immediately greeted him very politely after seeing Sengoku.
Sengoku was looking at Rambo with some surprise. In his eyes, Rambo seemed gentle and quiet. He looked like a young man who was easy to get along with.
But such a young man was actually called the 'Sword Demon', a swordsman who was like a demon.
However, Sengoku was a person of what level? Of course, he knew that people couldn't be judged by their appearance. Rambo was very polite. He naturally wouldn't put on too much of a face.
You're the 'Sword Demon' Rambo, right? Kuzan has already told me about your conditions. I can tell you with certainty that that's impossible.
I don't care where you learned the information that the 'Shinigami' was caught by us. But you probably don't know how important he is to us.
So it's absolutely impossible for me to agree to this matter. It's even more impossible for me to give you his weapon, the Death God Blade.
Rambo asked unwillingly, "Is there really no room for discussion at all? If I can get that Death God Blade, I'll definitely be able to defeat Hawkeye. As long as you give me the Death God Blade, I won't have any objections even if you want me to join your Navy."
Hearing these words, Sengoku's heart shook violently. His gaze towards Rambo also changed again.
With Rambo's current strength, he could at least be a Vice Admiral if he was placed in the Navy. What was most important was his potential.
He already had such strong strength at such a young age. He had a great chance of becoming a Navy Admiral-level combat force in the future. So it would naturally be very perfect if he could get such a person.
However, thinking about the characteristics of the Death God Blade, and the meaning that this weapon represented, Sengoku could only shake his head, and say, If you join our Navy, I'll naturally welcome you with open arms.
However, I'm really powerless when it comes to that Death God Blade. To be honest, we've had that weapon for several years now. But we still can't decipher it.
Besides the Shinigami, no one else can draw it. So even if I give it to you, you won't be able to use it. On the contrary, it'll bring you a great disaster.
Rambo said with disbelief, "How is that possible? How can there be a sword in the world that can't be drawn? Fleet Admiral Sengoku, you don't need to use such an absurd reason even if you want to reject me, right?"
When had Sengoku, as the Navy Fleet Admiral, been scolded so rudely to his face? So his face also became somewhat ugly.
He said in a cold voice, "If I wanted to reject you, I wouldn't have said so much to you at all. Anyway, whether you believe it or not, it's impossible for me to let you get that Death God Blade."
Sengoku was very clear about how great the threat of the Death God Blade was. Akira had dared to rob the execution ground in front of a world broadcast when he was ten years old by relying on that sword back then.
Moreover, he had succeeded. Later, he had relied on this sword to escape the pursuit of the Navy Admirals many times.
As a result, it had allowed him to grow into a powerhouse who wasn't weaker than a Navy Admiral back then.
So unless someone in the Navy could use it, Sengoku would never let such a threatening weapon reappear in the world.
"Is there really no room for discussion at all?" Rambo asked in a deep voice.
"No." Sengoku refused even more decisively.
Rambo's face was constantly changing. Actually, the reason why he wanted to get the Death God Blade so much was because he was very clear about how important this sword was to Akira.
Since Akira had been caught by the Navy, then this sword must also be in the Navy's hands. It was just a pity that Sengoku's attitude was so firm. He knew that there was no hope.
However, since there was no hope of getting the Death God Blade, then Rambo could only change his goal.
He only heard him say to Sengoku, "Alright, since Fleet Admiral Sengoku, you really don't agree, then I won't force it. However, you shouldn't object to my other request anymore, right?"
Sengoku asked, "Are you saying that you want to see the 'Shinigami' Edward D. Akira Stone? Why do you want to see him?"
Sengoku was very vigilant in his heart, because Akira's existence was too dangerous. So he definitely didn't want even a bit of ripple to occur if possible.
Although the results of the investigation had shown that Rambo and Akira didn't seem to have a relationship, it was better to be safe than sorry. So he still had to be careful.
However, he hadn't completely refused either. After all, he was relatively optimistic about Rambo becoming a Shichibukai.
At the very least, Rambo's attitude was much better than the other Shichibukai. There was even some hope of getting him to join Navy Headquarters if he tried to win him over. That was why he hadn't completely refused.
Rambo said, Because he's also a swordsman, and I'm also a swordsman. I fought Hawkeye. I lost. Hawkeye said that there aren't many swordsmen in this world who can fight him.
Pirate Emperor Shanks is one, and there's also the Shinigami. The Pirate Emperors are too far away from me. So I won't consider them for the time being. But I must see the other Shinigami.
Because Hawkeye said that the Shinigami is the most terrifying, and most talented swordsman he has ever seen. He's several times stronger than me.
Speaking up to here, Rambo clearly curled his lips in disdain, and said, However, I don't believe it. I've been learning swords since I was young.
I've used so many years of effort and struggle to have my current achievements. But Hawkeye actually said that I'm far worse than the Shinigami. I can't accept it. I also don't believe that such a person really exists in the world. So I must see him.
Sengoku didn't speak, 4.9 but was pondering in his heart, This is a struggle between swordsmen. This 'Sword Demon' is clearly an arrogant person.
He probably doesn't put anyone else in his eyes besides himself. Kuzan said that although this person lost to Hawkeye, he's unwilling to admit it.
Instead, he feels that his weapon isn't as good as Hawkeye's. That's why he came to ask for the Death God Blade.
Now, he's probably also looking down on the Shinigami. That's why he wants to witness him with his own eyes.
Sengoku thought that he had already guessed Rambo's psychology. But in reality, he didn't know that what he was seeing was all Rambo's deliberate guidance.
Rambo was very clear that he had to gain Sengoku's trust if he wanted to see Akira. That was why he had come to Navy Headquarters alone.
It was to make Sengoku feel that he didn't have any other intentions, and that he was upright and aboveboard.
"You really just want to see the 'Shinigami'?" Sengoku asked.
Rambo said, "Yes. I really want to see the man who even Hawkeye is afraid of, and see what's so amazing about him."
Sengoku said, If you want to see how amazing he is, I'm afraid that you won't have a chance, because he's currently locked up in Impel Down, and is already equivalent to a cripple. Even so, do you still want to see him?
Rambo said, "You can tell whether a person is strong or not just by looking at his eyes."
Sengoku said, Alright, since you've already decided, then I'll agree to your request. However, we also have to make an agreement.
I can let you see him. But the premise is that you must not pass on his news. Otherwise, you should know what the consequences will be.
Rambo said, "I'm just interested in him. As for the matters between you, I'm too lazy to ask, and I'm too lazy to care."
Sengoku said, "Wait. I'll arrange a warship to take you to Impel Down."
Sengoku's actions were still 15 very swift. He quickly arranged a warship for Rambo, and then had people take Rambo to Impel Down.
He returned to his office, and called Magellan, telling Magellan to keep a close eye on Rambo. After all, he was still unable to determine whether Rambo's purpose was really that pure.
Rambo followed the warship all the way to Impel Down. Because he had Sengoku's order, Magellan immediately had people go to welcome Rambo after Rambo had arrived at Impel Down.
However, he didn't personally move out. Instead, he dispatched Vice Warden Hannyabal. He felt that as long as he was in Impel Down, Rambo wouldn't be able to do anything threatening.
"You're that 'Sword Demon' Rambo? You've come to visit a prisoner?" Hannyabal walked to Rambo's front with strides. He was looking at Rambo curiously.
He was very strange. What ability did the young man in front of him have to actually make Warden Magellan personally issue an order for him to welcome him?
Rambo answered, "I am."
Hannyabal carefully sized him up again before opening his mouth, and saying, "Take off your sword. It's not allowed to bring weapons into the prison."
A cold light flashed in Rambo's eyes. However, he still took the sword off, and handed it to Hannyabal.
However, he said in a deep voice, "Keep a good eye on my sword. If something happens to it, I will definitely not let it go."
Hearing Rambo's cold words, Hannyabal muttered with dissatisfaction, What's there to be arrogant about? It's just a broken sword. Who would take a fancy to it?
You actually dare to be so arrogant after coming to my prison. If I become the prison warden in the future, I will definitely not allow this kind of person to come to my prison. If they dare to come, I'll just lock them up.
Because Hannyabal's voice was very soft, Rambo didn't care. He followed him into Impel Down.
After he entered Impel Down, Hannyabal said again, "Sorry, you have to be searched before you can enter the prison."
Rambo snorted coldly, and said, "Is there really that necessity? Or are you trying to mess with me?"
Hannyabal raised his head, and said, "This is the rule here. Anyone who comes in has to follow our rules. If you're unwilling, then sorry, it's impossible for us to let you in."
Rambo took a deep breath. Then, he said in a cold voice, "Search."
Hannyabal waved his hand. Immediately, several jailers walked to Rambo's side, and searched his body.
They stopped after a long time. They said to Hannyabal, "Vice Warden, there's no problem."
Rambo felt uncomfortable all over from being searched by them. He snorted after seeing that they had finished searching, "Is it alright now?"
Hannyabal said, "Alright, I'll count that you don't have any problems. Follow me. I'll take you to the sixth level, Infinite Hell."
If you wanted to enter Infinite Hell, you either had to take the stairs, or you had to take the elevator.
Hannyabal was the Vice Warden. So he was naturally qualified to take the elevator. Thus, he led Rambo towards the sixth level, Infinite Hell.
In the elevator, Hannyabal asked Rambo strangely, "Kid, I heard from the Warden that you're going to see that 'Shinigami'. How do you know him?"
"I don't know him." Rambo didn't want to talk nonsense with Hannyabal. So he just answered simply.
However, Hannyabal clearly didn't let Rambo off. He continued, I don't understand why you want to see him if you don't know him.
Let me tell you, that guy is a madman. He caused a huge riot when he first came to Infinite Hell. He's completely a madman. I've seen so many prisoners, but I've never seen such a strange madman like him.
He hasn't had any movements for several years since that instance of craziness. If we didn't have to come to see him every once in a while, we would have really thought that he had died.
Rambo hadn't wanted to pay attention to Hannyabal originally. However, Hannyabal's words had aroused his interest. He asked curiously, "What happened?"
Hannyabal said, Isn't it what every 420 prisoner goes through? No freedom, loneliness, desolation. It takes a long time for normal people to adapt after coming in.
I don't know what was wrong with him. He actually had such a big reaction back then. I've been here for decades, and I've never seen such a crazy person.
He was practically unrecognizable back then. Tsk tsk, it's terrifying just thinking about it.
