Upon hearing this, Sage laughed.
He could sense that the old monkey had no intention to fight.
But that was to be expected.
Because right now, he was indeed troublesome.
Before acquiring his powers, Sage was considered just a petty figure in Jiangdong by these seasoned top-tier experts.
With his newfound powers, his destructive abilities had made him the Overlord of Western Chu.
Of course, there was a difference.
Even with confidence, Sage wouldn't blindly exaggerate his fighting prowess.
His opponent could rely solely on his speed, which was exceptionally fast, making it difficult for Sage to chase him down if he tried to cover a wide area.
But on the other hand, if Sage wanted to cause destruction, Kizaru couldn't stop him.
Once the battle starts, how could there be no destruction? Whether it's him or Kizaru, both have the capability to turn this archipelago into ruins, and Sage could even further sink this entire island.
But such a battle is meaningless.
The issue of victory and defeat can only be settled by truly determining life and death, and if they really fought, three days would surely be needed.
At that stage, none of his crew members would be able to escape, and for this dead monkey, losing the Heavenly Celestial Dragon and the island is a price... he wouldn't want to bear.
Sage indeed had gained the eligibility to converse with these powerful beings.
"Of course, I captured them to negotiate with the World Government! As a local landlord, how could we not talk business!"
Sage loosened his stance, turned around, and walked to the stage, grabbing the chain around Charlilia's neck, lifted it slightly, and said with a smile:
"First of all, this woman, your men spent a hundred billion to buy her, you owe me that part of the money."
"Oh~ you really have a lot of guts, treating the Heavenly Celestial Dragon this way is not permissible, it's an act of rudeness."
Kizaru pouted, looking surprised, "Saint Rosward, Charlilia Palace, Saint Charlos, are you all right?"
"Kizaru! Save us, kill these offending peasants!" Rosward shouted loudly.
"Sorry, for the sake of your safety, that can't be done, please bear with it, allow me to negotiate with this pirate." Kizaru's expression didn't change at all.
No anger for the humiliation of the Heavenly Celestial Dragon, and no respect in his eyes for them.
This was normal.
Such level of experts possess their own pride and will.
Just like Sage's perception of the Heavenly Celestial Dragon, the attitude of such experts towards them...
They're merely Heavenly Celestial Dragons.
"A hundred billion Belly, fine, I agree, what are your other conditions?"
"I already said, I am very displeased, the World Government needs to report about my escape, no, my solo venture into Impel Down, and increase my bounty, so that I'll be able to make a significant impact in the New World, you need to write extensively and restore the facts."
Sage pulled the chain around Rosward's neck, sneering, "That's what I deserve, do this and I'll return this guy to you."
"Oh~ for this kind of matter, I need to report it to my superiors, I'm just a Navy, not the World Government." Kizaru said.
"I don't care about all that."
Sage swung the chain, which directly slapped Rosward's face, knocking him down again with a red mark on his face.
Then, he pressed his foot onto Charlos's face, keeping him pinned to the ground like a struggling fat mudskipper.
This sudden move made the Navy in the back flinch, hearts running cold.
But for Kizaru… it was as if he didn't see it, still maintaining a smiling, unchanged expression.
"I want to go up from Mary Geoise, directly into the New World, how about that?" Sage stared at Kizaru.
"Oh~ a pirate wants to enter Mary Geoise? That seems impossible." Kizaru pouted, his voice suddenly low and somber, "That's too overstepping."
"You can't make that call, then find someone who can!"
Sage said in a low voice, "Those people will agree!"
Kizaru was seldom silent for a moment, then he smiled again, "You guys seem to know us well, truly someone from O'hara, knowing history really helps understand a lot, huh."
"I'm fucking illiterate!"
Sage burst into laughter, "Go on, Kizaru, inform them of my demands, they will agree!"
"Not necessarily, the World Government cares about face too... never mind, I'll bring your request up, during this time, I can't do anything about you, but don't go too far, calamity."
The light dispersed from Kizaru's body, gradually disappearing within the venue.
"If you go too far, there's nothing I can do."
"Old monkey! Trying to threaten me before leaving!" Sage sneered, "Unfortunately, you don't call the shots!"
He waved his hand, saying, "Gin, take the men to Shampodi to rob. Lucci, give them the intel, see where is worth robbing, once done immediately ship it, don't mind those Navy, they can't stop us, right?"
While speaking, he glanced at the Navy Rear Admiral still standing at the door.
The Rear Admiral swallowed hard, didn't dare to respond, instead turned around and shouted, "Don't let those with bounties over a hundred million escape, seize them!"
Then sprinted away with his subordinates.
"Smart man..."
Sage waved to the front, "Bring me a chair."
Mute had just wanted to move, but Jean Bart took a step ahead, found a luxurious chair from the pile in the corner, ran to the stage, and placed it behind Sage.
