The ships kept sailing.

One day…

Two days…

Three days…

The Sabaody Archipelago was getting closer.

Kizaru was no longer calm.

'Why haven't you come to talk to me yet?'

The number of times he secretly looked at Lakeman gradually increased, and his mood became increasingly anxious.

According to his and Marshal Sengoku's judgment, Lakeman would definitely have a frank talk with him before arriving at the Sabaody Archipelago. Otherwise, when the escort mission was over, he, Kizaru, would leave. The contact opportunities created by the world government's forced naming would be in vain.

'Isn't this too calm?'

Kizaru looked at the calm Lakeman and twitched the corners of his mouth slightly.

'If I hadn't sensed that your aura was getting stronger every day, I would have been deceived by you.'

'I don't believe you can really sit still.'

'There are only three days left to reach the Sabaody Archipelago, and you only have the last three days, Lakeman Saint.'

Kizaru said secretly in his heart.

As always, he guided the three Boa sisters in their practice. Thanks to Lakeman's unlimited supply of resources and various recovery, healing, and supplementary medicines, the three Boa sisters maintained ultra-high-intensity practice every day. Their potential was completely squeezed out. Lakeman also received a lot of feedback.

He was lying on the sun lounger, playing with a pocket knife in his hand. It was a work of art from a certain perished country, specializing in the royal members of that country, and it was a status symbol. This kind of knife was not only exquisite and delicate in appearance but its sharpness and toughness were also amazing, able to cut through a mahogany table with ease and withstand heavy hammer blows.

 But at this moment, in Lakeman's hands, it seemed like a fragile glass product. As Lakeman's fingers exerted force, they made an overwhelmingly thin sound.

'Turning iron into clay?'

Lakeman held the knife in his hand and with a little force, countless tiny cracks appeared on the knife. If he got serious, he could crush this metal knife directly. His strength was so great! In the society of the previous life, he was already an out-and-out superman!

'Hancock is really talented and gave me a lot of feedback,' Lakeman nodded, his eyes falling on Kizaru, and he smiled silently.

'I wonder what Vice Admiral Kizaru can bring to me?'

[Current progress: 97.54%...]

 [Current progress: 98.23%...] 

[Current progress: 99.17%...]

Binding was almost complete.

"Almost," Lakeman whispered to himself.

Soon, he would be able to bind Kizaru!

'Soon!'

At the same time, the exact same thought flashed through Kizaru's mind, and he nodded secretly: 'He looked at me just now, and finally couldn't help it, did he want to talk to me?'

'Haha, you really contacted me with a purpose.'

Kizaru smiled secretly.

On the surface, he was still seriously instructing the three Boa sisters in their practice. But secretly, he felt completely relaxed, like a big stone falling to the ground, and his mental state became calm and composed.

After the day's guidance, Kizaru was treated to dinner by Lakeman as usual, and then returned to the warship.

"Vice Admiral, I will trouble you again tomorrow," Lakeman stood up politely and made a gesture of sending Kizaru away.

Hehe, he still pretends to be decent.

Kizaru chuckled inwardly. He realized that he had seen through Lakeman's true colors and would not be fooled again. No matter how real Lakeman acted, he could no longer be deceived.

"See you tomorrow, Lakeman Saint," Kizaru smiled in his heart and nodded pretendingly, matching the act. It seemed as if they were conversing with each other about instructing the three Boa sisters on their cultivation, but behind the scenes, there was actually another plan.

'I really learned a lot this time. Although Celestial Dragons have a lot of trash, there are also geniuses who are different from ordinary people.'

'The world government is really unfathomable.'

Kizaru took a deep look at Lakeman and turned into a flash of light.

Swishh!

He flashed back to the warship, showing a relaxed expression. The lazy, frivolous, and unconventional temperament of the past returned to him.

"Vice Admiral?"

"Could it be that..."

"Is it over yet?"

Several school-level officers gathered around him with happy faces. Anyone who has reached a certain military rank is not stupid. It could be seen to some extent that during this period, Kizaru seemed to have some purpose in contacting Lakeman. And he always seemed worried.

 At least today, the gloomy temperament was gone. Like the sunshine on a summer afternoon, a relaxed and bright smile appeared on Kizaru's face again.

"Vice Admiral, was it successful?" a colonel asked in a low voice.

"Not yet," Kizaru shook his head but smiled. "But I guess it will be soon, within the next two days."

Very good!

Everyone else was happy for Kizaru. In order to reduce their contact with Lakeman, Kizaru took the initiative to go to Lakeman's boat every day and stay there all day. This was their protection. He took all the risks of contact with the Celestial Dragon on himself. If something went wrong with Kizaru, their subordinates would not feel good about it.

"Okay, let's all get back to work," Kizaru waved his hand and dismissed everyone.

He returned to the captain's cabin and closed the door. After using his sense of perception for a while to confirm that no one around him could hear him, he used a phone bug to call Marshal Sengoku at Naval Headquarters - Marineford.

"Kizaru, what's the matter?" Sengoku answered the phone almost instantly.

"Marshal, I feel the time has come," Kizaru said in a low voice. "Saint Lakeman is about to formally contact me."

As he spoke, Kizaru thought of Lakeman's glance just now. That look with many hidden meanings made Kizaru make a firm judgment!

"Good!"

On the other end of the phone, Sengoku was overjoyed and said excitedly, "Try to avoid him as much as possible. No matter what conditions are proposed, don't agree immediately!"

"Yes!" Kizaru accepted the order solemnly.

" do it well, Kizaru!" Sengoku said.

"I promise to complete the mission!" Kizaru replied seriously.

Both were looking forward to tomorrow. This Celestial Dragon was finally going to reveal his true purpose and convey the attitude of the world government behind him!

Ah choo !

In the room, Lakeman suddenly sneezed, which made the butler worried.

"Master, is everything alright?" the butler asked with concern.

Lakeman rubbed his nose and smiled. "I'm fine, just a little tickle. Maybe someone is talking about me."

The butler nodded, still looking slightly worried. "Perhaps some rest will do you good, master."
