immense pressure.A thick cloud of smoke billowed, engulfing the upper half of his body completely. His two legs, clad in sandals and covered in hair, twitched helplessly in mid-air.Clang!!Just at this...“These two guys… such a terrifying aura…”

Added to his shiver, Kaji watched the intense standoff between Doflamingo and Sakaski.

"Drago, your foolish mercy has held you back... even Darren sees through that better than you do."

Sakaski sneered, his entire right arm melted into crimson magma, bubbling and popping as it dripped to the ground, scorching black pits wherever it landed.

"Justice won at the cost of comrades' and friends' lives is not justice at all!"

Dorag gritted his teeth, a swirling vortex of wind rising in his palm.

"Sakaski, you were wrong from the start!"

Click!

Waves of crimson and emerald clashed, cracking the floor and walls of the ward with fissures.

"I said, can you guys please consider that I'm sick"

Darren said somewhat helplessly at this point.

He felt a slight throbbing pain in his forehead.

As soon as his words fell, a leisurely and infuriating voice sounded outside the ward door.

"It seems like it's quite lively here..."

Everyone was startled and turned to look at the sound.

Borusalino's towering figure appeared at the door of the ward sometime. He kept his hands in his pockets, leaning on the door frame with a half-smile playing on his lips.

"Lieutenant Borusalino!" Both Gion and Katsuki bowed simultaneously.

Borusalino didn't even glance at the two of them, he just strolled in with a smile.

He raised his head, the eyes behind the sunglasses looking at Doflamingo and Sakaski, his expression filled with mockery.

Your faces are all so scary... I wonder what it would be like if you actually fought.

"The clash of wind and magma must be quite a sight..."

Upon hearing this, Doflamingo and Sakaski fell silent for a moment, both unconsciously withdrawing their auras.

All the hallucinations in the ward vanished instantly, as if nothing had ever happened.

Although fury raged within, and they both desperately wanted to fight Sakaski (Akainu), they didn't want to be laughed at by that bastard Garp more than anything. The thought crossed both Sakaski and Aokiji’s minds simultaneously.

"It's a pity... I was just thinking, finally I could determine who is the first of the new generation of naval forces..."

"Polusalino's face was full of 'regret' as he murmured."

Sakaski and Doflamingo both gasped in unison, but quickly suppressed the surge of emotion within them.

Darren twitched at the corner of his mouth as he lay in bed.

This Polusalino fellow is really stirring up trouble, isn't he He's causing division right here in the middle of all this.

My head is getting worse.

"However, Darren will... your injuries, they're truly terrifying. If it were an ordinary person, they would have died long ago, I imagine."

Polusalino turned his gaze to Darren, stroking the stubble on his chin with one hand while curiously examining Darren's gruesome wounds, letting out a string of impressed whistles:

"What an amazing physique."

"The Military Medical Department even submitted an application to study your body, but I rejected it."

Darrin glanced at him and gave a perfunctory smile.

"Well, thank you very much, Rear Admiral Borusalino."

Polusalino smiled and said:

"No need to be polite, after all, researching this kind of thing should be left to the Ministry of Science and Technology, right"

...Darren:

"Well, thank you very much."

He grinned stiffly.

Borusalino waved his hand.

"We're all colleagues, no need to be so formal."

My head hurts more and more. It's so good.

Darren let out a long, heavy sigh.

Then he looked at Sakaski, Doflamingo, and Boa Hancock, who each found a chair and sat down, crossing their arms and remaining silent. He said with annoyance:

"I said, three major generals, you all run to my ward side... Don't you have anything else to do"

Dora scratched her head and frowned, "

"I think there was something I was supposed to do, but I can't remember. It probably wasn't important anyway, haha."

He burst into laughter, then somehow pulled out a bag of donuts and crunched away.

Meanwhile, Sakaski crossed his legs and said with a gloomy expression:

No rush.

The answer was concise, decisive, and swift, very much in the style of Sakaski.

He pulled out a cigar, tossed it to Darren, then took one out himself and put it in his mouth.

His index finger emitted a faint red glow, igniting the cigar and then he puffed away contentedly.

Polusalino, meanwhile, took out a knife from his pocket and began to trim his nails, muttering as he worked:

"I think there's something to do..."

Darren looked at the three of them, and with some pain, covered his forehead.

Nevermind, let's just pretend they're not here. I still need to rest properly.

As long as they don't start arguing or fighting, I guess nothing will happen.

A sudden wave of drowsiness swept over me, the fatigue from my recent injury crashing down like a tidal wave.

Darren finally couldn't support his heavy eyelids and slowly closed his eyes.

"Hahahahahahaha!! Darren boy!! Are you awake!! Old man is here to visit you!!"

A dull, booming laugh echoed down the entire corridor, clearly audible from afar.

The door to the ward was soon rudely flung open, and Kapo strode in with a grin, his shoulders bearing a massive hunk of roast meat taller than a man.

"Come! Eat some of this!! This is the meat of a sea creature! Old man, I just caught it after much effort!"

"Well now, look at you all! What a surprise. Why don't we have a feast"

"Who's that Well, Jiaji, go buy some wine... Money Do you think I'm a wealthy man Go ask Darren about it later! Anyway, this party is for Darren!"

"Come, come, come, eat up first!! What Little Darren can't eat yet Then there's no way, let's all finish eating…"

"..."

Darren looked at the lively and jubilant ward with a twitch of his mouth.

All sleepiness vanished in an instant.

He stared blankly at the gray ceiling, letting out a sigh.

He suddenly missed Behai.

……

At the same time.

Marine Headquarters, Marin Vando.

A stalwart figure with vibrant purple short hair strode confidently into the conference room outside the Marshal's Mansion, his bearing heavy with solemn determination.

"Ze Fa, the Great General!"

The Marine guarding the conference room door stood at attention, saluting with reverence and fervor in his eyes.

"I am no longer a Fleet Admiral."

Ze Fa smiled, patted the shoulders of the naval soldier, and walked into the conference room.

He randomly found a spot to sit down and soon furrowed his brow.

"Aren't we supposed to be having a meeting, Sengoku"

He turned his head and looked at Warring States on the other side.

What about the others

Zhan Guo sat there, looking at the empty seats in the conference room.

A face gradually turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

He clenched his fists tightly, gritting his teeth and saying:

"These bastards!!"
