Occupation (3)

"Fleet Admiral, if we don't eliminate him soon, he will surely become a great threat in the future," Akainu said. "And now he is protected by the Black Man Elder, so we cannot succeed. Therefore, our only option is to launch the Buster Call and completely Destruction that island. In that case, Fanxin will surely die."

"Fleet Admiral, no! There are still many civilians living up there. Let's think about it again. We should be able to come up with other solutions. There's no need to go to such an extreme." Aokiji disagreed and shouted.

While pirates deserve to die, civilians absolutely must not be dragged into this. The very existence of the Navy is to protect their safety from pirate attacks. If they were to launch Buster Call, it would be tantamount to going against their will.

"Fleet Admiral, this is my suggestion. You can consider it yourself, but the time absolutely cannot be too long. Senior Black Man is very good at training people. If he successfully lets Fanxin control Haki, then we'll be in trouble," Akainu said. After saying that, he didn't say anything else. Because they had already said everything they wanted to say.

"Fleet Admiral, let's postpone the Buster Call. There must be other ways," Aokiji advised.

Although the Buster Call was the simplest solution, the cost was too high; countless civilians would perish with it, and he did not want to see this happen again.

More than twenty years ago, he had witnessed firsthand the Buster Call launched against Ohara, in which countless innocent civilians were killed. He did not want to see that tragedy again.

"Alright, stop arguing. I'll think about it carefully," said Fleet Admiral Sengoku. "Before I make a decision, you should also think it over. If you have a good solution, that would be best."

He didn't want to issue the Buster Call either, because the cost would be too high. Besides, it was aimed at the hometown of Li Kecheng, Black Man. Li Kecheng was his contemporary; how could he be so ungrateful?

If he actually did that, it would be incredibly heartless.

Of course, he was worried about something else. The Black Man, Li Kecheng, was not so easy to deal with; the bomb might not be able to kill him. If he escaped, he would definitely seek revenge.

If an Admiral with the strength of a general goes berserk, it is terrifying, and he does not want to completely provoke the Black Man Li Kecheng.

"Yes." The two nodded.

"Alright, you all go ahead and get busy! I have some other things to take care of," said Fleet Admiral Sengoku, waving his hand.

Nodding, Akainu and Aokiji left the room without further hesitation.

The Fleet Admiral Sengoku sat back down, pondered for a moment, then dialed a phone. Soon after, the call connected, and a loud "hahahaha!" came through.

"Sengoku, why are you calling me! I'm on vacation." A voice came from the other end of the phone.

"You're on vacation? Something big is about to happen. Garp, take your warships to Twin Island immediately!" Fleet Admiral Sengoku shouted.

He made the call to Garp. The reason he called Garp was because Garp and Li Kecheng were evenly matched in strength. If it weren't for Garp back then, who knows what kind of trouble the Black Man Li Kecheng would have caused.

Therefore, he wanted Garp to go and resolve the Fanxin; only in this way could unnecessary losses be avoided.

"Hmm, what's up?" Garp asked with a nonchalant expression.

"The Heavenly Soul Pirates went to Twin Island and met with the Black Man Li Kecheng. You should know the relationship between the Black Man Soul Clan and Li Kecheng. Their meeting is definitely not a good thing," said Fleet Admiral Sengoku. "Therefore, you must go there now and deal with that big problem, Fanxin."

"Sengoku, I'm on vacation, I don't have time!" Garp said. He didn't want to go because he was friends with Li Kecheng, and it was impossible for him to take Fanxin away from under Li Kecheng's nose. If he forced his way in, he would definitely anger Li Kecheng, and then a great battle would probably be inevitable.

He and Li Kecheng were locked in a battle where neither side had a chance of winning. In the end, it would be a lose-lose situation. It was a thankless and disadvantageous task, so he was unwilling to go through the trouble.

"Isn't your vacation time? Stop talking nonsense and get over there right now." Fleet Admiral Sengoku shouted impatiently, "I've canceled your vacation."

"How could you do this?" Garp protested. But Sengoku ignored him and immediately hung up the phone.

After doing all this, the Sengoku period no longer concerned itself with the matter.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the ocean, Garp reluctantly took off his casual clothes, put on his military uniform, boarded a warship, and directed the ships toward the Twin Island.

Just as dawn was breaking, Fanxin woke everyone up, and after having some breakfast at a small noodle shop on the street, he led everyone to the residence of the Black Man.

When they arrived, Fanxin discovered that the elderly Black Man man was still fast asleep.

"What should we do?" Ren Fang asked helplessly.

"Let's just wait, what else can we do!" Fanxin said helplessly. He dared not shout at the other party; if the other party lost their temper, he would suffer a great loss.

"Alright, let's wait then!" Everyone sighed and started resting in the courtyard.

After waiting for nearly an hour and a half, the elderly Black Man man got up. He came outside and was very pleased to see that Fanxin and the others had arrived so early.

"That kitten, go buy me breakfast right now, a large one, understand? Bring it to me when you're done." The older Black Man man glanced around and immediately said, "The rest of you, start running now. There are sandbags over there, each of you carry two. Then, run around Twin Island for two hours, then come back here."

"Senior, why am I relegated to doing odd jobs?!" The Little Black Cat was very unhappy. Everyone else was training, while it could only buy breakfast. It felt that its senior was being unfair.

"Hehe, who said you were just doing odd jobs?" the older Black Man man said. "You're too small for the sandbags. So, I've arranged other training for you. Go buy me breakfast first, and then I'll train you separately."

He wasn't lying; it was the truth. The Little Black Cat was too small; when two sandbags were placed on it, their shadows were completely obscured. It wasn't suitable for this training program.

"Oh, really?" The Little Black Cat's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this.

"Yes, go ahead!" the elderly Black Man man nodded in agreement.

"Okay." The Little Black Cat nodded upon hearing this. Then, it darted off down the mountain.

The elderly Black Man man then looked at Fanxin and the others, and said, "When you're running, you can't use your special abilities. You must run like ordinary people. Don't think that just because I'm not monitoring you, you can cut corners. I'm doing this for your own good, so please don't do anything reckless. Do you understand?"
