Rambo flew quickly towards the location of Kizaru and the others, afraid that Kizaru would kill Straw Hat Luffy.
After all, Luffy was the person who best fit what Akira had said, and the four-year period had arrived. Most importantly, the Whitebeard Pirates and the Navy were about to go to war.
No matter which point of view, this was Akira's best chance to escape from prison, so he was so anxious.
However, when Rambo arrived at the battlefield, he found that the Straw Hat Pirates had been made to disappear by Bartholomew Kuma.
"Kizaru, what exactly is going on?" Rambo's face was very ugly. Luffy was right in front of him, but he was still one step too late, which filled him with anger.
Seeing Rambo arrive, Kizaru shrugged helplessly and said, "There's no way. I was about to capture Straw Hat Luffy, but I didn't expect Kuma to appear at this time and use his ability to send all the Straw Hat Pirates flying. Only he knows where they are now."
Kizaru was actually very angry in his heart. If Kuma hadn't appeared, Straw Hat Luffy would have been captured by him.
However, Kuma had saved Luffy and the others at a critical moment. If it wasn't because Kuma was a Shichibukai and the importance of the Navy's experiment, he was afraid that he would have already taken action.
"Kuma?"
Rambo turned his head to look at Bartholomew Kuma. He saw Kuma standing there calmly, without any expression, which made him very uncomfortable.
Kuma was definitely one of the most difficult Shichibukai to deal with. You never knew what he was thinking.
However, as it concerned the important matter of whether Akira could escape from Impel Down, Rambo, even if he didn't want to fight Kuma, still walked to Kuma's front and asked coldly, "Where did you send Straw Hat Luffy?"
Kuma looked at Rambo and said faintly, "Sent him to where he should go."
"It seems that you don't plan to tell me?" Rambo's eyes flashed with a cold light, and a strong sword intent emanated from his body.
Rayleigh, who hadn't left yet, saw Rambo and said in surprise, "What a strong sword intent. He should be the 'Sword Demon', one of the Shichibukai."
Although Rambo's reputation wasn't as big as Hawkeye's, he was definitely ranked among the world's swordsmen. Rayleigh had naturally heard of his name, but it was the first time he had seen him.
Kizaru was also somewhat surprised to see Rambo actually standing up for the Navy and questioning Kuma.
Seeing Rambo's aura becoming stronger and stronger, Kuma also took off his gloves. However, Kizaru had no intention of stopping them.
Although these two were both Shichibukai, he didn't like either of them. Anyway, it wasn't the Navy's loss if they fought.
But just as Kizaru thought they were going to take action, Rambo suddenly withdrew his aura and said faintly, "Kuma, I think we need to talk alone. What do you think?"
Rambo's actions not only made Kizaru strange, but even Kuma was confused. He really couldn't keep up with Rambo's changes.
He had been about to take action just now, but the next second he said he wanted to talk. This made him very confused, not knowing what Rambo meant.
Kuma wanted to refuse, but he suddenly saw Rambo give him a look from an angle that others couldn't see.
Although he didn't understand what this look meant, he thought about it and then said, "Alright."
Watching Rambo and Kuma leave one after another, Kizaru was really somewhat clueless. He didn't understand what these two meant.
"Rayleigh, do you still want to continue?" Kizaru said to Rayleigh.
Rayleigh chuckled, "I'm old and don't have much strength anymore. I just want to be an ordinary person. However, if someone doesn't want to let me go, I won't surrender."
Kizaru frowned slightly. He really wanted to take down Rayleigh from the bottom of his heart. However, after the battle just now, he knew that he couldn't take down Rayleigh alone.
To capture Rayleigh, he would need at least two Navy Admirals, and that was if Rayleigh didn't run away.
But now, with the war imminent, how could the Navy make such a big deal for Rayleigh?
"If you're not going to fight, then I'll leave."
Kizaru could only watch Rayleigh leave, and then snorted unhappily, preparing to return to Navy Headquarters to tell Sengoku everything that had happened here.
As for how Sengoku would handle it, it was none of his business.
Rambo, on the other hand, brought Kuma to a deserted place. After stopping, Kuma directly asked, "You asked me to come here, what do you want to talk about?"
"Straw Hat Luffy." Rambo said.
Kuma replied, "I said, I won't tell you where he is."
Rambo said, "Kuma, although I don't know what relationship you have with that Straw Hat Luffy, I can see that you deliberately saved him. And I won't hurt him. I'm looking for him because I have something important."
"I don't know what you're talking about, and I don't know where he is now." Kuma replied very calmly.
Rambo's eyes flickered, and he said in a deep voice, Everyone who joins the Shichibukai has their own purpose. Hawkeye is because he's afraid of trouble, Doflamingo is for ambition, and the others also have their own purposes.
But you, I've never felt that you have any purpose. But that's why it's even more suspicious. Just like you saving the Straw Hat Pirates, if you didn't have some relationship with them, I believe you wouldn't risk offending Navy Headquarters to save people.
Kuma's face didn't change, and he asked, "Then what is your purpose? Sword Demon?"
Rambo said, "I naturally have my purpose. Although it may be different from yours, I will definitely not hurt that Straw Hat Luffy. I have something very important to find him for. I can guarantee it with my swordsmanship."
For a swordsman, swordsmanship was the most important thing. Rambo being able to guarantee it with his swordsmanship was indeed full of sincerity.
However, even so, Kuma wasn't willing to tell him. He said, "I'm sorry, I won't tell you."
Hearing this, Rambo gripped his weapon with a blank expression and said slowly, "There was once a person who saved my life and my father's life, so I vowed to use all my abilities to repay him. Now that he's trapped there, I must save him."
Kuma frowned and said, "What do you want to say?"
Rambo said, "He once said that there was someone who might be able to help him escape, so I must save him no matter what. I won't let my benefactor be trapped in Impel Down, that dark place, for the rest of his life, even if it costs me my life."
"Impel Down?"
Hearing Impel Down, Kuma's expression changed, because he was familiar with this place. One of his comrades was locked up there.
And Rambo said that his benefactor was locked up there, so wouldn't that mean...
Kuma's face rarely showed a look of surprise, and he asked, "You joined the Shichibukai to save someone from Impel Down?"
Rambo said, "That's right, my purpose in joining the Shichibukai is to rescue my benefactor. He is 'Death God' Newgate D. Akira Stone. The reason why I'm telling you is because if you don't tell me the answer, only one of us will be able to leave here today, so it doesn't matter if I reveal it or not."
Saying that, Rambo drew his sword. He had heard about Bartholomew Kuma's abilities, so after drawing his sword, his eyes had been staring at Kuma's hands.
"Wait!"
Just as Rambo was about to take action, Kuma suddenly shouted and then asked, "The person you want to save, is it 'Death God'? That Super Pirate from the Whitebeard Pirates ten years ago, Edward D. Akira Stone?"
Rambo's movements paused, and he asked with narrowed eyes, "You know him?"
Kuma said, "Of course I know him. If you were to say who was the most glorious on the sea ten years ago, it would definitely be him. The name of Death God resounded throughout the entire sea. However, he disappeared ten years ago. Is it really as you said, that he was captured by the Navy and locked up in Impel Down Prison?"
Rambo said, "Since you want to know, then I won't hide it from you. That's right, he was indeed captured by the Navy. He was seriously injured when he fought Hawkeye back then, so he was captured by the Navy and locked up in Impel Down for ten years."
Kuma said with emotion, "No wonder I haven't heard any news about him for ten years. I didn't expect him to be captured by the Navy."
"I can tell you the whereabouts of Straw Hat Luffy." Suddenly, Kuma changed the subject.
"What did you say?" Rambo looked at Kuma in surprise, not understanding what Kuma meant by this.
