Golden Lion Shiki
"What if that kid secretly contacts the Revolutionary Army?!"
It's clear he won't give up on targeting Haku anytime soon. If it's confirmed that Haku has connections with the Revolutionary Army, this old man will probably want to deal with Haku personally!
Saint Warcury spoke up, "It's confirmed. The CP9 member who was with that kid confirmed that he hasn't been in contact with anyone suspected of being from the Revolutionary Army!"
Unfortunately, these people will never know that it wasn't Haku who contacted the Revolutionary Army, but rather the leader of the Revolutionary Army who personally contacted Haku.
Moreover, the contact was made before Haku went to Alabasta!
The conversation paused briefly here, though the Five Elders expressed their anger at Crocodile's actions.
But now that it's happened, they still have to clean up the mess for each other.
At this moment, Mazu, one of the Five Elders, spoke up, "It's now confirmed that Crocodile can no longer serve as Shichibukai. Do you have anyone on your side to fill this vacancy?"
The others remained silent, saying that it was really not easy to find someone to replace them in this position.
The Five Elders were also afraid that if they found another Pirates, he might do something as unpredictable as Crocodile!
In the end, the Five Elders had no choice but to temporarily hang up the empty space.
Under such circumstances, electing a new Shichibukai is not a wise choice.
Moreover, they also need time to observe the situation and see if a suitable candidate emerges.
After the meeting, the Five Elders returned to their respective offices. They knew that although Crocodile's situation had been temporarily resolved, many unstable factors still existed within the World Government.
They need to continue their efforts to ensure the stability and authority of World Government.
Meanwhile, Haku on the Ark also received the Five Elders' decision. He wasn't surprised, as he had already guessed this outcome. However, he didn't care about that; his gaze was already set on the more distant Future.
Soon, Haku's Ark entered the Harbor of Marineford!
Unlike before, this time a large number of Pirates followed Haku's ship down at the same time!
Among the crowd, Crocodile, one of the Shichibukai, was the most eye-catching.
"Oh my god, isn't that Crocodile? Isn't he one of the Shichibukai? How come he's been captured?"
"Yes, I heard he was arrested by Admiral Haku for stealing the country. That's truly gratifying!"
"Shh! Keep your voice down. Don't you know that the Seven Warlords of the Sea system has caused a rift between the higher-ups and the World Government?"
"To be honest, the Shichibukai system itself is very unreasonable. How can Pirates and the government coexist peacefully?"
"That's true. Pirates are inherently about plunder and destruction; how could they possibly be allies with the Navy, which maintains order?"
"Speaking of which, that Admiral Haku is really something! He actually managed to capture the Sea like Crocodile. Just how strong is he?!"
"You're fresh out of military academy, right? What are the Shichibukai compared to that? Don't forget, Admiral Haku is someone who can even take down the Four Emperors."
"Shh! Keep your voice down! Can't you see Admiral Haku is coming this way?"
While the Marines whispered amongst themselves, Crocodile was taken to the Marine Headquarters' prison. His face was pale, and his eyes were gloomy; he was clearly furious and resentful about his fate.
However, he also knew that he was now Prisoner, completely at their mercy. His heart was filled with resentment towards Haku!
After returning to Marineford, Haku finally had some free time!
However, he won't have much free time!
When Haku got bored and wanted to return to the G5 Base, Sengoku immediately sent someone to inform him that there was an emergency!
Soon after, Haku arrived at the conference room of the Navy's top brass.
The moment Haku entered, she was surprised to find that almost all the Vice Admiral at headquarters and several Admiral stationed elsewhere were there.
These people all looked very serious, Haku knew that something must have happened.
Soon, Sengoku entered through the door, with Vice Admiral Tsuru following behind him.
Sengoku did not sit down; he stood upright. His tone tinged with anger, he said, "A branch in the West Blue has run into trouble; the entire navy stationed there has been wiped out!"
Haku frowned, because he had only just found out about this himself.
Inside the meeting room, some people's knuckles were already cracking. They looked genuinely angry!
Haku spoke up and asked, "Since something happened over there, didn't anyone call for help?"
Sengoku shook his head and said, "It was too late, because the entire Marine Branch was destroyed in an instant!"
At this moment, Aokiji spoke up, "Do you know who the attacker is?"
Sengoku's expression was serious, and the name he uttered struck most people as both shocking and perfectly normal!
"The person who attacked this Marine Branch must be Golden Lion Shiki, because only his Float-Float Fruit could take control of a small island and smash it into that Marine Branch!"
Aokiji, Akainu, Kizaru, and Haku exchanged glances, all seeing the seriousness in each other's eyes. They had all naturally heard of Golden Lion Shiki, the legendary the Sea.
Sengoku continued, "Golden Lion Shiki, the Sea who was once on par with Roger and Whitebeard. His Float-Float Devil Fruit ability allows him to control any object, including himself, making him unique in the Pirates world. Moreover, he is extremely powerful and has clashed with the Marines many times, but always managed to escape. Now, he has been missing for a long time, but I didn't expect him to reappear at this time and attack our Marine Branch."
Aokiji said in a deep voice, "Since it's him, then it makes sense. Golden Lion Shiki's strength is indeed unfathomable; we must be careful."
Akainu, his face contorted with rage, declared, "These kinds of Pirates should be completely wiped out! I request that all forces be mobilized to hunt down this Golden Lion Shiki!"
Kizaru, on the other hand, was relatively calm. He asked, "So, do we have any leads now? After all, Golden Lion Shiki has been missing for a long time. We need to know where he reappeared so we can take targeted action."
Haku then said, "Even if we know where they are, it's useless. Don't forget their Float-Float Fruit ability. I think Golden Lion is still floating in the air somewhere in the sea! They wouldn't stay in one place and not move!"
