Navy Headquarters in Uproar

Pfft!

At Brannew's words, Sengoku sprayed all the senbei in his mouth, staring at Brannew in astonishment. "You said a Celestial Dragon was killed?"

"Hey, Sengoku, it was just two pieces of trash dying. Why did you spray me all over?"

Covered in senbei crumbs Sengoku had sprayed, Garp grumbled.

What? Celestial Dragons were trash?

Brannew stared at Garp, utterly shocked.

Only after saying it did Garp realize what he had said. Looking at Sengoku's livid face and Brannew's stunned expression, he said:

"Ah, that was a slip of the tongue."

"Just pretend I never said it."

At that, Sengoku's eye twitched, and he roared at Garp:

"Garp, watch your words."

"Even if you think Celestial Dragons are trash, you can't say it out loud!"

Even Marshal Sengoku said that...

Brannew's worldview was shattered once again.

"Speak. What exactly happened?"

After roaring at Garp, Sengoku turned to Brannew, prepared to hear his report about the murdered Celestial Dragons.

"Marshal Sengoku, the culprit is called..."

Several minutes later, after listening to Brannew's report, Sengoku dismissed him. His brows were furrowed, and his expression was grim.

"God Slayer Lin Yu possesses Armament Haki and Observation Haki. His Swordsmanship is extraordinarily terrifying, and he is suspected to be a Great Swordsman."

"He slaughtered all the Celestial Dragon guards and CP0 agents, killed the Celestial Dragons Saint Roswald and Saint Charlos, and abducted Shalria and Princess Anna of the Kachinobu Kingdom."

"He is suspected of having the ability to operate a ship alone."

"The North Sea Branch recommends setting his Bounty at 100 million Berries."

Every time Sengoku recalled Brannew's report, his head began to ache.

He could actually instantly kill CP0 agents.

Was he really a rookie?

Or were rookies these days all this terrifying?

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. He actually killed CP0 agents in an instant. Sengoku, you're in big trouble now."

Garp read the intelligence in Sengoku's hand from beside him, clicking his tongue in amazement and clearly taking pleasure in Sengoku's misfortune.

Now that two pieces of trash were dead, the Five Elders would definitely make trouble for Sengoku.

"What do you think the Bounty should be?"

Ignoring Garp's gloating, Sengoku asked.

"Two pieces of trash died this time. Just set it at 500 million."

Picking his nose, Garp answered indifferently.

Lin Yu's performance in instantly killing CP0 agents alone was enough to warrant that Bounty.

"500 million?"

"A first Bounty of 500 million is far too exaggerated."

Sengoku repeatedly shook his head.

Bang!

Suddenly, a frantic Brannew burst through the door again and shouted at Sengoku:

"Marshal Sengoku, something terrible has happened!"

"According to information from CP0, the king of the Kachinobu Kingdom was also killed by God Slayer Lin Yu. Even the royal palace was burned down, and the kingdom's soldiers suffered massive casualties."

What? The king of the Kachinobu Kingdom had actually been killed by Lin Yu?

Sengoku was instantly shocked.

The Kachinobu Kingdom was a member nation of the World Government. Now that its king had been murdered, the Navy absolutely could not stand by. They even had to show that they took the matter extremely seriously.

Otherwise, the World Government's other member nations might develop other ideas, which would be detrimental to the World Government's rule.

Pururururu~ Pururururu~

At that moment, the Den Den Mushi in the marshal's office rang. Sengoku walked over and picked it up.

Click!

"Hello!"

"Sengoku! You bastard, capture that man called Lin Yu at once! Otherwise, I won't be able to answer to the World Government's Five Elders at all!"

Commander-in-Chief Kong's furious roar came through the Den Den Mushi.

Clearly, the murder of Celestial Dragons in the North Sea was giving him a terrible headache as well.

"I understand."

Faced with Kong's roar, Sengoku was evidently prepared. He dug a finger into his ear and replied calmly before hanging up directly.

Kong was rather long-winded, and Sengoku did not want to get tangled up with him any longer.

Pururururu~~ Pururururu~~

Just as Sengoku hung up, the Den Den Mushi rang again.

Rubbing his temple, Sengoku picked up the Den Den Mushi again with a headache, much to Garp's glee.

Click!

"Sengoku."

"You should already know about the Celestial Dragons being killed in the North Sea."

"In the name of the Five Elders, I order you to swiftly apprehend the culprit and hand him over to the World Government for judgment!"

The moment Sengoku answered, the Five Elders' furious roar immediately came from the receiver.

Frowning, Sengoku said calmly, "I understand."

Then, the Five Elders' enraged roar came through the Den Den Mushi again:

"That bastard not only killed Celestial Dragons, but also killed the king of the Kachinobu Kingdom."

"You must quickly send people to apprehend him and give the World Government an explanation."

"Furthermore, the humiliation of the Celestial Dragons must be washed away with blood!"

After saying that, the Five Elders hung up directly.

Looking at the disconnected Den Den Mushi, Sengoku shook his head, then said to Brannew:

"Immediately organize a high-level Navy meeting. Everyone from Rear Admiral and above at Headquarters must attend."

"You have half an hour."

Upon hearing there was going to be a meeting, Meeting King Brannew immediately perked up. He saluted and shouted, "Yes, Marshal Sengoku!"

After saying that, he immediately ran out the door to make arrangements for the meeting.

The moment Garp heard there was going to be a meeting, he immediately tried to slip away. He had no interest in attending such a boring meeting.

"Garp!"

"Don't you dare run."

Seeing Garp preparing to escape, Sengoku grabbed him at once.

"Let go of me, Sengoku. I have no intention of wasting my time on this sort of thing."

"Shut up."

Half an hour later.

Sengoku appeared in the meeting room on time.

Akainu, Aokiji, Garp, Tsuru, and the rest of Navy Headquarters' upper ranks had all arrived.

Sengoku swept his gaze over the room and asked gravely:

"Where is Kizaru?"

He clearly remembered that Kizaru was supposed to be at Navy Headquarters today.

Brannew hurriedly explained:

"Lord Kizaru just went to the Sabaody Archipelago."

At that, Sengoku's mouth twitched.

That bastard Kizaru had definitely already learned about the Celestial Dragons being killed.

The murder of Celestial Dragons was an extremely troublesome matter. There was no reward for handling it well, while handling it poorly could earn one a scolding. So Kizaru had directly chosen to flee, fully displaying his talent for slacking off.

After clearing his throat, Sengoku looked at all the Navy higher-ups present and said gravely:

"Not long ago."

"The World Nobles, the Roswald family of Celestial Dragons, were attacked in the North Sea. Two died, and one went missing."

"The Saint Rosward they were traveling aboard was also seized."

The Saint Rosward was a vessel converted from a warship. Its speed and handling performance vastly surpassed those of ordinary ships.

Roswald had further modified it, causing the cost of the Roswald to soar directly to 3 billion Berries.

The Navy officers were immediately shocked upon hearing this.

They clearly had not expected the World Nobles, the Celestial Dragons, to be attacked.

A young Rear Admiral asked curiously:

"Marshal Sengoku, who exactly attacked the Celestial Dragons?"
