"That being said, I want to ask, the creature we exchange — will it be absolutely loyal to me?" Ye Chen asked.
He definitely didn't want to spend a huge price only to receive a creature beyond his control. If that were the case, the exchange would be meaningless.
He needed a creature that was absolutely loyal.
Not one that wasn't under his control.
"That is natural. Just like the Sky Dragon Osiris summoned by the Host before."
Upon hearing this, Ye Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The system had already resolved most of his doubts, and he roughly understood how to use the system's two functions.
Next, what he needed was a random exchange of a living being.
Random exchanges required a fee — one Devil Fruit, equivalent to 1000 energy points.
Specifying a particular being also required 1000 energy points.
Now, what he could exchange with the system: he had ten Devil Fruits, a box, a katana, and the Osiris at his feet.
Osiris was obviously not something he could exchange. The katana wasn't valuable, but he would still need it later.
Using the box to exchange seemed a bit awkward.
In the end, Ye Chen decided to use one Devil Fruit as the cost for a single exchange.
"One Devil Fruit as the cost, system, initiate random exchange."
"Specified living being random exchange starting."
As soon as the voice faded, three Devil Fruits inside the box vanished immediately.
Following that, a faint white light flickered in front of Ye Chen, gradually revealing a blurry figure.
"It's her." As the light dissipated, Ye Chen saw the exchanged creature clearly and a flicker of surprise flashed deep in his eyes, quickly replaced by a smile.
"If it's her, then this is very stable."
................
Sabaody Archipelago waters. Several Marine Headquarters warships marched majestically, stopping at a pier in a certain area.
"I really don't know if he's just arrogant or what — he actually strolls around here so openly." Huang stood on the deck, somewhat speechless, looking up at the Sky Dragon Osiris above.
"Haha, this brat is interesting. Knowing his location's exposed, he still dares to stay here instead of running." Garp, wearing his dog mask, held a rice cracker in his hand, biting hard with a crunching sound.
"Really disrespectful. I'll go meet him first." Kizaru curled his lips, then his body transformed into a golden light as he shot into the sky.
"Hahaha, guys, first capture all the pirates here, leave that guy to me and Kizaru." Garp waved his hand, ordering.
"Yes, sir."
...
"Brother Ye Chen, aren't you being too arrogant? You're making us Marine Headquarters lose face."
Golden light flickered in the air as Kizaru's figure took form, his right leg glowing with golden light, kicking toward Ye Chen.
"Face is something you earn yourself." Ye Chen looked calmly at the suddenly appeared Kizaru and spoke softly.
"Troublesome." Kizaru curled his lips, but his expression quickly turned cold. "But you're right — face is earned."
"Light-speed kick."
With that, Kizaru's right leg's golden glow surged, instantly becoming a flash aimed at Ye Chen's face.
Clang clang clang.
The sound of metal clashing echoed, sparks flying as Kizaru's kick was stopped, unable to advance an inch.
"Armament Haki." Seeing the black metallic sheen from Ye Chen's arm to the katana, Kizaru's eyes shrank in disbelief. "Impossible! You didn't have Armament Haki last time."
"Who told you I didn't?" Ye Chen smiled slightly, exerting force with both hands. A massive Sword Qi mixed with Armament Haki exploded forth.
Boom.
Sword Qi raged, producing an incredible explosion sound. Smoke spread out, and a powerful shockwave radiated in all directions.
Suddenly, from the smoke, a golden light shot out at high speed, landing on the ground. When the light dissipated, Kizaru was crouched there, a trace of fresh blood at his mouth.
The Sword Qi mixed with Haki at close range had erupted violently, injuring him.
"That was really dangerous just now." Kizaru was shaken. Had he not retreated quickly, this injury would have been far worse.
"How embarrassing, Kizaru." Suddenly, a voice sounded. A punk-styled old man with purple hair and sunglasses slowly approached, with Ain closely following him.
"Teacher Zephyr, what are you doing here?" Kizaru curled his lips when he saw Zephyr.
Zephyr glanced at Kizaru. "If I didn't come, you'd be in real trouble today."
Kizaru was silent.
"Zephyr, why are you here?" Garp suddenly came out, looking puzzled at Zephyr.
"Just passing by, so I stopped by." Zephyr replied.
....
"Former Marine Headquarters Admiral Zephyr, current Admiral Kizaru, and Hero Garp — what exactly happened?"
People around gasped when they saw Zephyr, Garp, and Kizaru together. Each one was undeniably at admiral-level strength, and Garp was even stronger, having almost captured Pirate King Roger several times.
The Marine Headquarters' top forces were scarce now, and here were these three gathering in one place.
Who was this person to warrant the appearance of all three?
"Whitebeard?"
Many guessed in their hearts.
"Zephyr, Garp, Kizaru — three of Marine Headquarters' elite forces gathered here, they must really take me seriously!"
Ye Chen descended from the sky, standing firmly on the ground facing the three, speaking calmly.
"Ye Chen, surrender. You have no chance of winning." Kizaru's cold gaze locked on Ye Chen seriously.
"Hahaha, Admiral Kizaru, what exactly is winning?" Ye Chen laughed, pausing. "And do you really think the three of you have me cornered?"
Kizaru nodded without denial.
"How naive. Come out, Esdeath, meet them." Ye Chen sneered coldly.
With that, Osiris let out a low roar. A figure jumped down from Osiris's head, landing beside Ye Chen.
Dressed in an imperial military uniform, icy blue hair, a proud smile, and an imposing aura — the Ice Queen, Esdeath.
