88. Vinsmoke Judge
"Ah! Where are my manners? Greeting Your Majesty, I am Vice Admiral Kimimaro, Marine HQ 17th unit, 1st squadron. At your service..."
The large man who turned out to be Vinsmoke Judge, the current king of Germa Kingdom doesn't feel pleased seeing Kimimaro exaggerated demeanor.
Raising his head, Judge showed arrogant demeanor he always exude and said, "...Marine Dog, It seems you need to be taught some manners! How dare you barging here and interrupt our meeting!"
Looking at Judge who pompously act, Kimimaro chuckled, "Your majesty, i told you my affiliation already, could it be that you think that i have some sort of connection with those 50th Branch?"
"Huh?"
Kimimaro took a step forward and stated, "Vinsmoke Judge, as the Marine justice enforcer from HQ. i will have you to come with me for a questioning regarding criminal activities inside North Blue Marine 50th Branch. Please don't resist."
Listening to Kimimaro sentences, Judge couldn't help but felt anger raising inside. how dare a mere Vice Admiral arrest him? a King from one of World Government affiliated Kingdom for questioning.
However, seeing Kimimaro gesture. Judge knew that he was being serious. Unfortunately, his arrogant and petty mind couldn't accept it!
"Hmph! Let me see how will you do it!"
As soon as Judge's words fell, his remaining soldiers dashed forward and took out a long knife and swung it at Kimimaro!
Contrary to Judge's thought, Kimimaro just stood there folding his arms and let the knives struck him!
*Clank!
Brief sparks appeared as Kimimaro blocked the incoming strike with his collarbone which sprung out incredibly fast! Not only that, Judge also saw his 2 soldiers chest had been pierced by another bones coming from the Marine shoulders.
Tossing aside his asailant bodies, Kimimaro steps forward once more, approaching Judge who by now felt cold, the latter kept the strong front despite his palpitating heart betrayed his emotions.
"You!" Judge exclaimed as he took a step back.
"You have the rights to remain silent, as everything you said can and will be used against you in court! Please don't resist, Marine need an explanation your majesty."
Looking at Kimimaro, Judge tried to find a way out, then he remembered about the hooded man who had a dealing with him earlier. Alas, much to his distress, the hooded man was nowhere to be seen!
"Where are you looking at? Wanna ask for help?" Asked Kimimaro.
Judge moved backward slowly until his back felt a cold underground wall behind, feeling the familiar wall, his hand immediately moved as if searching on something.
Soon, just as Kimimaro almost upon him. Judge gritted his teeth and took something from under his robe and slammed it to the ground!
*Psssshhhh..
White smoke engulfed the room and obstruct Kimimaro vision. Behind the smoke, Kimimaro heard a mechanism moving and finally Judge's large body was nowhere to be found!
"Rome! go back now!" Kimimaro yelled as he doesn't forget about the timid teen who still in hiding outside.
Rome listened to his command rather clearly, seeing the room had been engulfed by white smoke, Rome immediately run back towards the surface.
Kimimaro sighed when he sensed Rome had run. Afterwards Seeing his target had escaped, Kimimaro doesn't think too much, the white smoke was slightly toxic, it could gives an adults some trouble let alone a weakling like Rome. Yet, Kimimaro was a poison master himself, he only scoffed at the poorly made gas grenade and left the room.
Walking back inside the dark corridor, he saw small light coming from a match at the corner and a hooded figure seemingly waiting on him rested his back on the wall while smoking.
Soon, Kimimaro stopped in front of the hooded figure, both has similar height and age.
"Rosinante, it's been a while..." Smiled Kimimaro as he stretched his fist toward the figure.
The hooded man who has name Rosinante looked at Kimimaro's stretched fist. Pondering slightly, he fist bumped the later hand with familiarity.
