"What a peculiar group" - said Kurama after arriving at [Marineford] and seeing who was receiving him.
"I want an explanation as to why Hancock couldn't make it" - said Sengoku as he looked at the albino with a serious expression.
"First tell your brats to put down their weapons or I will find myself in the painful need to annihilate your forces before [Shirohige] arrives" - said Kurama neutrally as a huge killer instinct surrounded his body.
"How dare you talk about like this in front of the higher-ups of justice!" - Akainu roared fiercely, only to click his tongue when he saw how Sengoku indicated him to do nothing - "Tch!"
"Put down your weapons, this is no time for us to fight amongst ourselves" - Sengoku said earnestly, only to sigh regretfully.
The [World Government] had instructed him to take this opportunity to capture this man to use his special ability and recreate the ancestral weapons, but it seemed that things would not be as simple as he thought.
"So you're the man who managed to conquer that crazy bitch, interesting" - said a blond man with tanned skin who was wearing an open white shirt, and over it, a pink velvet cloak along with strange sunglasses - "It's a pleasure to meet you, my name is Donquixote Doflamingo."
Kurama raised an eyebrow before nodding - "Kurama Uzumaki."
"Man of few words" - Doflamingo muttered as he frowned, only to shake his head - "Anyway, I think after this, we could talk about business, what do you think?"
"Depends on what kind of business" - Kurama answered because he could notice the darkness in the heart of the man in front of him.
"Then we'll talk, I'm sure this will be beneficial for both of us" - smiled Donquixote Doflamingo as he went back to his post, only for after he was at a safe distance, he started to tremble with fear - "That guy is dangerous, very dangerous."
Doflamingo had experienced many things during his years of life and had interacted with many dangerous people, especially that monster Kaido.
"Maybe it's a good idea to relate a little more with him" - Doflamingo muttered as he started to think - "But how could I achieve a more harmonious relationship between our forces?"
Doflamingo started to think at full speed, only to frown as he saw that there wasn't much he could offer Kurama.
"Then I'll think better what to do in this situation because if everything is as I think, I think I found a way to be free from Kaido's control" Doflamingo muttered as he sighed internally.
No matter how much power he had, or his enormous control among the underworld forces, nothing changed the fact that he was working as Kaido's subordinate.
"Kishishishi, so you're the supposed emperor" - said a tall man with the appearance of a vampire, only his body was not well proportioned - "You don't look so strong."
"Do you want to test my power?" - Kurama asked with a huge smile, only to notice how the strange man started to tremble - "Was it enough?"
"Y-Yes" - nodded the vampire-like man as he trembled with fear - ". . ."
"Good way to put that idiot in his place" - said Mihawk as he walked in the albino's direction - "Nice to see you again."
"Same here" - nodded Kurama as he extended his hand.
Mihawk returned the handshake with a small, almost imperceptible smile.
"Anyway, I'm surprised you came" - Mihawk said as he looked intently at the man in front of him - "Did something happen to Hancock?"
"Let's just say that her situation is somewhat delicate, but not dangerous" - Kurama answered while shrugging his shoulders.
"Will there be a new heir, by any chance?" - Mihawk asked with a slight glint in his eyes as he noticed Kurama nodding - "Interesting, I guess the world is about to meet a new beast."
Sengoku and the others froze when they heard this because it made sense.
If Hancock was pregnant, it was obvious that Kurama would not let her fight this dangerous battle.
"This is bad" - Sengoku said in terror as he called his subordinates to an emergency meeting.
The appearance of the son between Kurama and Hancock, changed many things, after all, this could end up becoming a new Ace, only unlike the young man who was now under their power, the son of the [Pirate Empress] was safe in [Amazon Lily] thanks to the barrier that protected the entire island.
"We have to capture him" - said Kisaru seriously while adjusting his glasses - "If we do it, we will not only have accomplished the mission we were assigned, but we will also be able to get the technology of the barriers to cover our ships, with that our marine dominance will be much greater."
"But before we decide to attack, we'd better think things through" - Aokiji said seriously - "Remember everything he has done during his journey with Boa Hancock, as well as his unknown level of power."
"That's why we'll wait for now" - replied Sengoku neutrally - "Let's see how everything develops during the battle against [Shirohige], and if things go well, we will have not only killed that fossil of the ancient era but also accomplished our mission"
"We should capture him immediately" - snorted Akainu disdainfully, though he said nothing more about it, after all, he understood that it was the best plan of action and the one that would cost the least number of marines' lives.
The group continued chatting about their mission, not noticing how Kurama was watching them from a distance with disdain.
"Congratulations for your child" - Mihawk said as he shrugged - "As for those bastards, you don't have to worry too much, they won't attack you during the war against [Shirohige], not when they are already at a disadvantage."
"By the way, with Crocodile and Jinbe, off duty, I thought they would have filled their positions by now" - Kurama said noticing how of the [Ouka Shichibukai (7 Warlords of the Sea)], there were only 4, 5 if you counted him as Boa Hancock's representative.
"[Kurohige], Marshall D. Teach should be here, but he's nowhere to be found" - Doflamingo replied disdainfully - "He's got to be hiding somewhere."
"[Kurohige]? I see that man has a giant appetite" - said Kurama with disdain.
It was obvious of Teach's aim in taking that name, and such it seemed that everyone agreed, even Kuma, who was in a corner without saying anything, nodded at his words.
Kurama took slight notice of this man, after all, he was the one responsible for making him react and create countermeasures against the power of the [Akuma no Mi], though after seeing him, he frowned because he felt unnatural, much like an aura he had felt in [Water 7].
"Is something wrong, Kurama-san?" - Kuma asked in an emotionless voice.
"No, it's nothing," replied Kurama as he shook his head.
Whatever it was, he did not need to stick his nose into matters that didn't concern him.
"Anyway, how long do we have to wait?" - Kurama asked as he shrugged his shoulders.
"I'd say a few more hours until they bring the convict in" - replied Mihawk boredly as he yawned - "Anyone wants to play poker?"
"I'm sorry, but I'm not going to participate" - replied Gekko Moriah as he looked fearfully at the white-haired man.
Kuma stood on the sidelines as Doflamingo stroked his chin - "Are we going to gamble?"
"Sure, this would be boring if there was no money involved" - Kurama replied as he shrugged his shoulders.
"I think I can participate, after the fight, I had with that straw-hatted bastard, my income has dropped drastically" - muttered Moriah while frowning as he remembered his defeat.
"You know the rules, you can cheat, but you have to remember that if you get caught, then you'll have to pay" - said Mihawk, after all, this wasn't the first time they did this when they were bored, and it wasn't like they could drink or sleep when they were about to fight [Shirohige].
"Perfect" - smiled Doflamingo as he looked at his companions as if they were bags of money - "I just hope you can pay when you lose, Fufufu ~"
Mihawk didn't respond to Doflamingo's vague effort to try to taunt them, but Moriah, who was already annoyed didn't take it very well, even if there wasn't much he could do, not when he was the weakest of the current [Shichibukai].
"Be content with taking his money" - Kurama said as he sensed the change in Geko Moriah's expression - "At least then you can feel better with yourself."
"You have a point" - muttered Moriah as he narrowed his eyes - "Let's start with this, I still have some things to plan."
"Then don't cry when you've lost your [Thriller Bark], Moriah-chan" - Doflamingo said disdainfully as he let out a laugh - "Relax, if you owe us too much, I promise to buy it at a good price"
"Don't even think about it, flamingo" - said Moriah angrily.
"Oh? That insult is new, though honestly it doesn't seem so bad to me" - said Doflamingo with a happy smile.
