Looking at the two of them making a fuss, Sengoku could not help feeling a bit of a headache.
Then Sengoku got down to business and said to Haku, "Since you already know you are being transferred to the New World, go report for duty at the G5 Branch."
"Oh? G5?" Haku muttered.
Vergo's figure had already flashed through his mind, because that guy was an undercover agent sent by Doflamingo after all!
"Is there a problem, Haku?" Sengoku asked, thinking Haku still had some issue.
Haku snapped out of it and said, "No! Then I'll go to G5."
At this moment, Garp said with dissatisfaction, "Sengoku! My grandson just returned to headquarters, couldn't he rest properly for a bit! Why arrange work so anxiously!"
Hearing this, veins bulged on Sengoku's forehead. He said to Garp, "This brat just took a break of over half a year! How is it that now that he's back, as a fleet admiral I can't arrange some work for my subordinates!"
At this time, Vice Admiral Tsuru spoke up, "Alright! Garp, don't interrupt Sengoku's work."
At the mention of this, Sengoku thought of something!
Sengoku looked at Haku and said, "That ability you used to threaten the Five Elders earlier, was that the result of your trip to Sky Island half a year ago?"
Haku didn't hide it. He opened the five fingers of his right hand, and delicate sparks of electricity constantly burst from his palm!
"Marshal, is this what you're talking about!"
With that, Haku snapped his fingers toward the window, and a startling flash of lightning struck right into the center of the plaza.
Now neither Sengoku nor Garp, and not even Vice Admiral Tsuru, looked at Haku without looks of astonishment.
Of course, Haku's little stunt just then had alarmed quite a few people inside the headquarters.
Many people poked their heads out to see what was happening, but aside from scorched marks on the ground, it looked like nothing had happened at all?
Garp looked at the sparks of electricity in Haku's hand and asked doubtfully, "You brat! Did you dig up some weird new ability again?"
"Oh! Nothing much, I just ate a Logia Devil Fruit, that's all." Haku replied nonchalantly.
"I see! So you ate a Logia Devil Fruit!" Garp made a fist with his right hand, lowered his left hand to rest against his chest, and said in sudden realization.
"Nani!!!" Garp finally reacted.
As for Sengoku, based on what happened yesterday, he already had some guesses in his heart. Still, he was deeply shocked by Haku's words.
Vice Admiral Tsuru was also quite shocked inside, but she quickly calmed down and asked Haku, "So Haku, is your Devil Fruit ability related to lightning?"
"Of course!" Haku nodded at Vice Admiral Tsuru and said, "The Devil Fruit I ate is called the Rumble-Rumble Fruit."
Sengoku's gaze sharpened as he said, "So when you said the other day that you found what you wanted, could it be the Rumble-Rumble Fruit?"
"Hehe!" Haku smiled, neither admitting nor denying it.
This only made Sengoku more certain of his own guess.
At the same time, he continued to ask, "So how well have you developed the specific effects of this fruit ability?"
Mentioning this perked Haku up, and he rattled off the details like a connoisseur: "The effect of consuming this Rumble-Rumble Fruit is that the user's physique turns into electricity, rendering physical attacks, most energy attacks, and non-Haki attacks ineffective against them."
"It can freely release blue high-voltage current for attacks. It can also use radio waves to enhance the range of Observation Haki, and use the fruit for teleportation, possessing terrifying destructive power. At the same time, it has electrotherapy capabilities, allowing current to massage one's own heart and make an injured heart resume beating."
"It can travel at lightning form and speed through electrical conductors and the air like thunder; it can directly discharge attacks, with the highest output voltage reaching two hundred million volts. It can also generate electrical energy to drive machinery, or generate high temperatures through electrical heat, and even discharge electricity to stimulate the electrodes of thunderclouds to strike a designated area with lightning, and so on..."
"Stop, stop, stop!" The more Sengoku heard, the more astonished he felt inside. He hadn't expected Haku to develop so many functions out of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit in such a short time?
Haku wasn't angry at being interrupted; that brief introduction had already greatly satisfied his vanity.
He was showing off to his elders just like someone who had gotten a new toy!
However, Haku's unfinished expression was not lost on Garp, so without hesitation, his right hand coated in Haki smacked the back of Haku's head!
Taken completely by unawares, Haku almost face-planted into the floor!
Angered, Haku cursed in dissatisfaction, "Old man! Do you know how heavy your hand is? At the very least, I'm considered an admiral now, couldn't you go a bit easier on me!"
"Yo-ho! You brat, now that you've eaten a Devil Fruit, do you think you have some strength and you're starting to get full of yourself? Want to taste your grandpa's Fist of Love?"
With that, Garp was already cracking the knuckles of both hands, looking eager to try!
"Sorry! I was wrong!" Regardless of whether he was in the right, Haku immediately apologized to Garp first. His shameless appearance was practically begging on his knees.
Sengoku looked at these two clowns in speechlessness!
Meanwhile, Vice Admiral Tsuru chuckled as she leisurely continued sipping her tea off to the side.
"Alright, you two stop fooling around!" Sengoku's single sentence directly interrupted the two who were starting to lock horns.
Garp said with dissatisfaction, "No way! Sengoku, today you've got to properly crush this brat's arrogance. You need to know that back when this brat developed that weird dismantling slash thing of his, he almost hacked Kuzan to death!"
(What Garp was referring to was the sparring match between Haku and Aokiji earlier!)
After hearing Garp's words, Fleet Admiral Sengoku felt it made a lot of sense. After all, Haku had just used the Rumble-Rumble Fruit's power to threaten the Five Elders yesterday.
Then he still asked Haku, "Going over to G5, do you have any plans of your own?"
In the end, Sengoku decided to change the subject. He knew that if he let these two keep acting up, his office would definitely suffer.
And Sengoku had a reason for asking this. Although he had very little contact with Haku up to now, judging from past experiences, he felt that Haku, just like Garp, was not a worry-free individual!
Therefore, he had to thoroughly probe Haku's bottom line to prepare himself before the other guy pulled any strange stunts.
Haku thought about it, and to be fair, Sengoku's question actually stumped him.
After all, he had only just found out about his transfer to the G5 Branch!
Immediately, Haku thought of the base commander of the G5 branch, Vergo!
Haku smiled with a chill down his spine!
Sengoku had an ominous feeling in his heart. He always felt that Haku wasn't thinking up anything good!
Haku looked at Sengoku and said, "Um, Marshal! If—and I mean if—I hack Vergo, the base commander of the G5 Branch, to death! You shouldn't mind, right?"
