Chapter 84

Grandline, Paradise, Impel Down

While the lonesome marineship had set course upon the open gate of justice that lead to the marine headquarter, the warsh.i.p.s belonging to the buster call fired the last salve of shots at the already plenty destroyed prison, sinking it completely below the crashing waves of the grandline.

Next the sh.i.p.s cast their gaze upon their next prey which they thought had no possible way to escape their reach due to their escape route being blocked by the gigantic gate of justice leading to Enies Lobby and the open seas that were sailable to all.

Though the glee of the marines soon turned into shocked confusion as they spotted the lonely marineship that had set course towards the open gate of justice.

"You gotta be kidding me...!"

Hahahaha look at the scaredy cats sailing right into the tigers mouth hahahaha!"

"What fools!"

"They have to be mad like none other..."

the various marines muttered to themselves while the higher ranking officers had frowns on their faces, not understanding what the escapes hoped to achieve by sailing towards the marine headquarters since they were outnumbered and outclassed in every aspect once they arrived at the headquarters. Wouldn't it be smarter to try their luck against the buster call instead than going up against the whole headquarter itself?

It puzzled the lot of them into oblivion. Kizaru meanwhile after having had his wounds treated had already set his sharp mind to figuring out the possible objectives that Azul and his group could try to fullfill on their course but like the rest came up empty handed which made Kizaru frown even harder. He hadn't taken Azul as the hasty and stupid type. Wild and dangerous? Yes. Only brawns no brains? No. So it frustrated him to no end that he just could not come to a satisfying conclusion on what they may be trying to achieve.

'No matter. Better to quench any problems before they get out of hand.' Kizaru thought to himself after which he spoke in a commanding voice, quite different from his usual drawling and lazy attitude: "Contact headquarters about what happened here and signal the outpost at the gates of justice to shut the gates immediately!"

"Yes sir!" the marines responded in unison, rushing of to carry out the given orders which shortly afterwards caused the giant gates to slowly close, directly in front of the lonesome marineship.

Keeping his eyes focused on their targets the marines spotted a single red dot that swiftly rushed off of the marineship straight towards the gate of justice and disappeared behind the nearly closed doors, confusing some marines on the ship until they heard the grinding teeth of the admiral that had an annoyed look on his face.

"Azul... of course. If he manages to overtake the outpost that controls the gates then he could shut the armada of warsh.i.p.s in between the gates of justice which may cause their destruction due to the whirlpool while still allowing his group to pass through before hand... Damn it! Why didn't I think of this before hand. Call headquarters to deploy an admiral to the outpost for the control of the gate of justice immediately and set every sail possible for maximum speed. Course towards the gate of justice. We must not get closed in between the gates under any circ.u.mstance!"

"Yes sir!" and with blowing sounds the gigantic sails were set in full force while headquarters was contacted about the threat the warsh.i.p.s were currently facing.

With an euphoric expression on his face Azul motioned for the ship to set course to one specific location he had always wanted to see. After all, it was not an easy feat to find a suitable location where he could begin to set the world on fire!
