264. You can’t give what I want

Whatever happened in Marineford had spread throughout the world. The Marines were now on the back foot, with pirates emerging from every nook and corner. Those countries with a very high taxation rate saw more pirates emerging than any other.

And that was not all; some of the pirates got bolder and attacked bases in different parts of the world. It was basically chaos everywhere. The Revolutionary Army also took over some bases and infrastructure of the World Government, like the bridge on an island in East Blue.

"Get on with it. You guys are so lazy. We need more hot news..."

"What the hell are you doing? I told you to write a better article than this."

"...."

Morgans was yelling and having a tough time in this regard. He was a bit annoyed that the Revolutionary Army was able to broadcast everything on multiple islands, and thus his news couldn't make up any stories just for the sake of selling. He had to tell the truth. He was also happy that the world was slowly being pushed into chaos, which meant more 'content' for him.

So, he was developing a love-hate relationship with the Straw Hats. Plus, like others, he was also awaiting the arrival of new bounties from the Marines for the Straw Hats and other people, including Ace. 500 million didn't justify his current strength.

Everyone's character got something close to their characteristics, but he was the only one who got random powerful ones. First, it was Thor, then Obito, and now Yamamoto. This system was definitely random for him.

"He is alright. So, is the World Government ready to negotiate?" Ken asked.

"Where is your Captain? The negotiation is to be done with the Captain and nobody else. As a Vice-Captain, you should know your boundaries." It was Kong who had asked, his voice loud and thundering, almost trying to intimidate him, but of course Ken didn't seem to care.

"Why? Am I not enough? The last time I remember, your friend here got swatted by me," Ken said. As soon as the words came out of his mouth, the temperature of the surroundings started to drop at an alarming rate, with ice forming around the whole bar and his glass getting a layer of frost on it.

"Ototoo... You calm down, Aokiji... I am not here to battle you," Aoto said, looking at Aokiji. Kong was speechless at how he was able to make his subordinate lose his cool with just a few words, while he himself didn't seem to be threatened at all.

"We need to see Sengoku, and then we can negotiate," Kong said.

"So, is it to kill me, or to take your friend and run from here?" Ken asked. Kong's eyebrows arched as he said that.

"No matter. Even if you use all the powers of your Haki, you can't do anything to me. Haven't your past experiences been enough for you to understand that?" Ken asked. Kong scoffed, feeling like Ken was lying, but didn't call him out on it. He needed to maintain his composure in order to get Sengoku back.

"What do you want?" Garp asked, getting irritated by the cocky attitude of his grandson.

"What do I want? Let me see... Hmm... Well, what I want, you can't provide anyway. And what we want, we will take from you. If I say we want the history of the world, you would probably say no and sacrifice Sengoku. So, in a way, you guys have no integrity. Whatever integrity is left, is only because of Grandpa and some of the good ones."
