<><><><><><>

Right now, the best action is not to make a move as long as Byakuya doesn't strike first. 

However, Sakazuki's temper was already at its limit. Just as he was about to take action, two more figures suddenly appeared—Sengoku and Kuzan.

The two had rushed over upon learning that Byakuya had arrived at the Sabaody Archipelago. 

They knew that, given Sakazuki's temperament, it was only a matter of time before an all-out battle broke out. 

Such a conflict would be highly detrimental to the Marines, and neither of them wanted to see too many innocent Marines perish at Byakuya's hands.

With the arrival of Sengoku and Kuzan, the situation seemed to be tilting further against Byakuya. 

After all, this was now six Admiral-level combatants standing before him—more than enough to match, if not surpass, the strength of the three Emperor-level pirate crews that Byakuya had previously annihilated.

Yet, despite this, Byakuya showed no concern at all. He simply waved and greeted them casually, "Uncle Sengoku and Kuzan, you're here too?" 

He grinned, "I came today just to see you guys."

Sengoku and Kuzan exchanged helpless smiles. The two were already under suspicion by the World Government due to their close ties with Byakuya in the past. 

Now, he was openly walking into Marine Territory looking for them. What would the World Government think of this?

To make matters worse, Reini is also here—the very watchdog that the World Government had placed within the Marines to monitor their actions. 

Byakuya's sudden appearance made Sengoku and Kuzan's situation even more awkward.

As Sengoku stroked his greying beard in frustration, he muttered, "I swear, this brat is doing this on purpose."

Kuzan let out a long sigh, tilting his head back. "Looks like my suspension is about to get even longer…"

Byakuya, seemingly oblivious to the trouble he was stirring, continued nonchalantly, "I heard you two aren't having a great time in the Marines." 

"Why not join my Night Organization instead? Oh, by the way, where's Vice Admiral Garp? I wanted to ask if he'd like to come along too."

There was no doubt about it now—this brat had come here purely to cause trouble.

Sengoku and Kuzan stared at Byakuya's smug grin, feeling an overwhelming urge to punch him. 

Unfortunately, they knew they weren't strong enough to take him on. Sakazuki's face darkened upon hearing those words. 

If it was just Byakuya alone, the six of them might still be able to put up a fight. 

But if Sengoku and Kuzan were to side with Byakuya, the entire Marine force could be wiped out today.

The current three Admirals also looked grim, with Kizaru already contemplating an escape plan. 

If Sengoku and Kuzan nodded in agreement, he would activate his Devil Fruit's abilities and vanish instantly.

In Kizaru's mind, if they expected him to fight Byakuya, then they'd better be ready to pay him a lot more. Otherwise, he wasn't interested.

Fortunately, Sengoku's next words allowed them to sigh in relief.

Sengoku shook his head. "That old bastard Garp took his grandson back to the East Blue." 

"He probably won't be back for a while. As for me, I will never leave the Marines. So don't even think about trying to recruit me, brat."

Byakuya raised an eyebrow. "Garp went back to the East Blue?"

The East Blue was now entirely under Revolutionary Army control. Could Garp have gone back to help his son?

Byakuya wasn't surprised by Sengoku's rejection. 

After all, the man had been a Marine for over fifty years and had deep-rooted loyalty to the organization. 

Unlike Zephyr, Sengoku would never leave unless he had no other choice. Since Sengoku wasn't an option, Byakuya shifted his focus to Kuzan.

"Kuzan, you've already been suspended by the World Government, and now they've replaced you with this piece of garbage." 

"Do you think there's any point in staying with the Marines?"

Reini's expression instantly twisted with rage. 

When the World Government held a meeting to abolish the Warlord system, Byakuya humiliated him in front of the Marine high command by attacking him outright. 

That disgrace had burned in Reini's heart ever since. So when the government was selecting a CP0 agent to take on the role of Admiral, Reini volunteered without hesitation. 

He had planned to use the Marines' power to finally take revenge on Byakuya and erase his past humiliation.

But before he could settle the old score, Byakuya had already hit him with a fresh humiliation.

Reini pointed at Byakuya and shouted angrily, "Byakuya, you're nothing but a pirate now! How dare you spew such arrogance?" 

"Do you really think we six Marine officers are just here for the show?"

Reini knew well that he wasn't strong enough to take on Byakuya alone. That's why he deliberately lumped himself together with the other five. 

Admirals, creating a united front in his words. Then, turning to Kuzan, he added, "Admiral Aokiji, even if you've been suspended, you're still a Marine." 

"Or have you forgotten what the Five Elders said during that meeting?" Kuzan's expression darkened. Of course, he hadn't forgotten.

The World Government had made it clear that if Byakuya or the Night Organization ever appeared, he had to take the lead in proving that he had no connections to them.

But the truth was, Kuzan didn't want to fight Byakuya or the Night Organization. 

After all, within that group were his friends and even his former mentor. Not to mention, he didn't believe that everything they did was wrong. 

If anything, they had accomplished what the Marines hadn't dared to in over twenty years—they had wiped out two corrupt Warlords and three Emperor-level pirate crews.

That was an achievement the Marines could only dream of.

Still, leaving the Marines wasn't a decision Kuzan could make lightly. He needed more time to think.

Seeing Kuzan fall silent, Reini smirked with satisfaction.

"Byakuya, let me make this clear—you may rule the New World, but this is Marine Territory. You have no place to be arrogant here!"

Byakuya raised an eyebrow at that remark. 

The next instant, he clenched his fist and threw a powerful punch straight at Reini, roaring, "I'm talking to my old friends! Who the hell gave you permission to butt in?!"

A fierce, overwhelming force exploded toward Reini. The others barely had time to react—

In an instant, Reini was reduced to nothing but a mist of blood. 

Droplets of crimson splattered onto the faces of Sakazuki and Aramaki—perhaps the only remaining proof that Reini had ever existed. 

Everyone present was utterly dumbfounded. A Marine Admiral of such high status had been crushed like an insect before Byakuya. 

A single, casual strike had obliterated him. The speed was so overwhelming that even the other Admirals had failed to react. 

It was clear now—if Byakuya had chosen to strike at them instead, they would have met the same fate.

Besides Kuzan, the remaining five had only seen Byakuya fight through live broadcasts. 

They knew he was strong, but that was just an abstract concept in their minds. 

Never had they imagined his power would reach such an unfathomable level.

Byakuya spoke with undisguised contempt, "This kind of trash dares to call himself a Marine Admiral?" 

"Anyone who takes that title without my approval has only one fate—death!"

For a pirate to claim the right to decide Marine Admiral appointments and to say this directly in front of the Fleet Admiral and other Admirals, Byakuya's arrogance was beyond comprehension. 

While everyone understood he was referring to Reini and Aramaki, who had been promoted alongside him, he couldn't help but mutter in his mind, 

"Damn it, is being a Marine Admiral really this dangerous? No one warned me about this when I took the job." 

"Maybe I should start looking for a way out before I end up dead at this guy's hands."

Kizaru, on the other hand, was mentally cursing up a storm. "When I get back, if they don't increase my salary tenfold, I'm quitting!"
