The changes at G5
Haku has successfully brought Zephyr aboard the Ark! And they are getting closer and closer to returning to the G5 Base.
Accompanying Haku are Ain, Binz, and Shuzo, who have always followed Zephyr! Also present are Marine personally trained by Zephyr and who have joined the Pirate Guerrilla Squad!
When Haku saw Sengoku trying to devour Zephyr, he couldn't help but chuckle to himself!
Although Sengoku was aware of Zephyr's underhanded tactics and tacitly approved of them, he never expected that there would be so many members joining the Pirate Guerrilla Squad!
Moreover, many of them are elites from the Marine Headquarters!
It's hard not to say that the old man from the Sengoku wasn't anxious, considering that there are many places on this the Sea that the navy cannot govern.
The reason is that the navy is severely understaffed!
Now that this group of elite Marine and the Zephyr are all under Haku's command, to use Sengoku's words: this brat got off easy!
As time went by, the people on the Ark finally caught a glimpse of the G5 Base!
As they drew closer, some of the navy personnel began to stare in disbelief!
Binz stared wide-eyed and said, "Big guy? Am I seeing things? Why does this Marine Branch look bigger the closer you get to it?"
"Is this definitely a naval branch? This size is almost on par with the Marine Headquarters, isn't it?"
Standing beside him, Ain also wore an incredulous expression. "Although I also find it hard to believe what I'm seeing, this is the path led by Admiral Haku! You can't say that Admiral Haku, who's piloting this spaceship, would have gone astray, can you?"
Because of the exclamations from his students, Zephyr's attention also began to turn to the distant G5 Base!
Haku was slightly surprised, even though he had already planned out a blueprint for the future changes of the G5 Base and handed it over to Kyros for renovation!
Even he hadn't expected Kyros to complete it so thoroughly!
He also understood that Kyros had struck gold with the Djima Djima Fruit!
After being astonished by the size of the G5 Base, he said to Haku, "You brat! I've been to the G5 Base quite a few times, and it hasn't been that long since I last saw it. How did it become like this?"
Upon hearing Zephyr's question, Haku boasted, "How about it, Professor Zephyr? I designed this myself! The original G5 Base, while heavily fortified, still had quite a few weaknesses!"
"If I hadn't returned to G5 Base in time last time, it might have already been breached by Pirates! After these renovations, G5 Base is practically impregnable!"
Zephyr nodded. In his opinion, Haku's current G5 Base already met the standards of the Marine Headquarters. He glanced at Haku and added in his mind, "Perhaps it even surpasses the Marine Headquarters!"
Zephyr nodded and said, "If Sengoku knew you'd transformed the G5 Base in the New World like this, I wonder if he'd still be able to sit still!"
Haku joked, "I guess after Marineford is ruined, he'll move the Marine Headquarters here!"
Although she knew Haku was joking, Zephyr still agreed with her!
After observing for a while, Zephyr said, "To be able to transform the entire G5 Base like this in such a short time? You must have a special ability user helping you!"
Haku chuckled, scratching her head, and said, "As expected of Professor Zephyr, he guessed all that so quickly!"
"Little one! Stop flattering me, I'm not the kind of person your old man likes to fall for that!" Zephyr directly exposed Haku's attempt to change the subject!
Haku touched his nose; he knew that to deal with this seasoned, shrewd veteran, he had to be sincere!
Even though her grandfather Garp, seemed carefree, Haku was actually very perceptive.
His own grandfather was actually a man of both wisdom and courage! He had a long-term vision and a very accurate grasp of world trends. Even the Sengoku Fleet Admiral often consulted him on various situations.
Bringing her thoughts back, Haku had no intention of hiding anything from Zephyr.
He said, "Actually, I have a Kyros who ate the Djima Djima Fruit! He can assimilate to an entire island, and control everything on it. He currently works at the G5 Base, leading the old troops left over from before the G5 Base."
Zephyr's eyes narrowed. He looked at Haku and said, "I remember the one with the Djima Djima Fruit ability is the Evil King Avaro Pizarro, who's currently imprisoned on Level 6 of the Impel Down! How did his Devil Fruit ability end up in one of your subordinates?"
"Well!" Haku grinned, showing off her white teeth.
Meanwhile, Ain and the others standing next to Zephyr were also drawn in by what Kate Zephyr and the others were saying!
Looking at Haku's cheeky, mysterious expression...
Ain couldn't contain herself any longer and asked, "Admiral Haku, is this a secret that can't be told? Keeping it to yourself like this is really asking for a beating!"
After listening to Ain's words, Binz and Shuzo nodded in tacit agreement!
Haku rolled her eyes. "I'm an Admiral, for goodness' sake. Can't I maintain a bit of mystery?"
However, he added, "It's really nothing serious. When I brought a group of Pirates to Impel Down, I just casually extracted the Evil King's Devil Fruit power!"
After saying this, neither Zephyr nor Shuzo made any move.
Meanwhile, Ain and Binz both retreated, keeping a certain distance from Haku!
Haku rolled her eyes again and said, "Can't I say it's not that scary?"
"Hehe! Hehe!" Both Ain and Binz let out dry laughs.
They were internally screaming: Isn't this terrifying enough?! If word gets out that you can extract other people's Devil Fruit ability, you'll probably become the public enemy of all Devil Fruit User in no time!
However, given Haku's current strength, he wouldn't care even if this matter were leaked!
If any foolish Devil Fruit user dares to cause him trouble, he wouldn't mind performing in front of the world how he extracts their Devil Fruit abilities!
When Kate revealed that he could extract the Devil Fruit abilities of Devil Fruit users, Zephyr's shock was palpable!
However, he quickly suppressed the matter in his heart!
Given that Devil Fruit User are practically everywhere in the Sea, if they knew there was someone who could strip them of their Devil Fruit abilities, they probably wouldn't be able to sleep soundly, right?
Zephyr said, "Alright! That's enough about this. All of you remember, nothing discussed here today must be leaked, understand?"
