Plotting Against Kaido

Hearing Haku say this, Sengoku said with a gloomy expression, "Then you better give me an explanation! Otherwise, there will be consequences."

When he reached this point, Sengoku glanced at Garp. The latter caught the meaning instantly and began rolling up his sleeves once again! If Haku's answer had any problem at all, he was going to make Haku taste his iron fist in the name of 'love'!!!

"An explanation? It's very simple, because the other party is the First Generation Corazon!" Haku explained with a smile.

Hearing this, Sengoku's pupils dilated, and a monstrous storm churned in his heart! Because he understood what the codename Corazon represented!

At the same time, Rosinante's appearance flashed through his mind.

After hearing these words, Vice Admiral Tsuru also straightened her body slightly.

Because she understood that the upcoming topic would involve her old opponent, Donquixote Doflamingo!

"By the way, what is a Corazon?" At this moment, a completely clueless Garp chimed in to make his presence known.

Sengoku ignored him and asked Haku with a serious expression, "Are you sure the other party is the First Generation Corazon?"

"I'm sure!" Haku said earnestly.

"What is your basis?" Sengoku questioned again, because he wouldn't believe Haku's words so one-sidedly!

Haku chuckled. "Hehe! You can investigate this slowly on your own. I believe that with the Marines' capabilities, finding out where Vergo stayed before joining the Marines shouldn't be too difficult."

"Oh! Right, I also know that six months after Vergo was transferred to the G5 branch—meaning when he went to Minion Island to execute a mission—he discovered Rosinante's spy identity!"

"How do you know...!"

Before Sengoku could finish his sentence, Haku rudely interrupted, "You don't need to concern yourself with my source of information. Anyway, you just need to know that everything I said is true."

At this time, Vice Admiral Tsuru said, "Since you are certain the other party is an undercover agent sent by Doflamingo, why can't you keep him alive and make good use of him?"

This remark was clearly addressed to Haku.

After hearing it, Haku replied, "The World Government threw me over to the New World G5 branch, so I definitely want to have some fun with the Four Emperors pirate crews!"

Saying this, Haku paused for a moment. "It just so happens that the target I've set my sights on is Kaido, one of the Four Emperors, so Vergo has to die! After all, I certainly don't want my whereabouts exposed to Doflamingo, who cooperates closely with Kaido!"

"Ha! You brat, and you said your head isn't in the clouds. Are the Four Emperors pirate crews as easy to deal with as you think!" Before he even finished speaking, Garp grabbed the back of Haku's head with one hand and ground his face against the floor.

"What the hell! You old man actually ambushed me, let go of me right now!" Haku struggled and said.

Sengoku's mind was in utter chaos right then, his brain spinning rapidly. He no longer had the bandwidth to care about Haku and Garp scuffling.

Although he was very unsure whether what Haku said was true, he still put Vergo on the list for 'key monitoring'.

Vice Admiral Tsuru was also pondering countermeasures. Once she knew Vergo was the First Generation Corazon, she was even planning whether to persuade Haku to spare Vergo's life so they could backstab Doflamingo with it.

The ultimate conclusion was that both Sengoku and Vice Admiral Tsuru wanted to spare Vergo's life.

Since they already knew the other party was Doflamingo's undercover agent, they both felt that the guy still had utility!

Of course, to prevent Haku from actually butchering Vergo right after taking office, Sengoku ultimately decided to transfer Vergo over to Punk Hazard!

Only they did not know that this actually played right into Doflamingo's wishes!

After all, he was already conspiring with Caesar regarding artificial Devil Fruits! Now with Vergo providing cover, it actually made things more convenient for the other party to operate!

However, none of this had anything to do with Haku, as he didn't even know where Sengoku had dumped Vergo anyway!

As for Haku himself, the matter of him setting his sights on the Four Emperors Kaido was indeed true!

After all, Haku wanted to calibrate his current strength, and Kaido, as the 'Strongest Creature in the World', might not have overwhelming combat techniques, but the guy happened to have an absurdly thick health bar! He truly made for an excellent sparring partner.

Plus, he could happen to complete the system's quest of single-handedly fighting a Four Emperors pirate crew!

Pity the Four Emperors Kaido, still hungover on Onigashima, who had no idea he had been targeted by the newly appointed Marine Admiral!

Soon, Haku finished reporting for duty and exited Sengoku's office. As he came out, his face was bruised and battered, looking quite a sorry sight.

At the same time, he muttered under his breath, "Old man! He really hits viciously, what kind of grandfather likes to beat up his own grandson for no reason."

"Ya ya ya! It's Haku! Long time no see." Kizaru was strolling leisurely toward Haku at that moment.

"Yo! It's Borsalino. Skiving off work bright and early, are we?" Haku said with a cheeky grin.

Um, Kizaru choked up instantly (*⊙~⊙). Being called out like that by Haku, he felt like he had been exposed.

"Hahaha! Just kidding!" A playful smile crept up the corner of Haku's mouth.

Kizaru didn't get angry, after all, it was the truth.

Just like that, the two exchanged some banter and parted ways to handle their own business!

Haku wasn't in any rush to head to the New World yet, so he planned to stay in Marineford for a few days first!

Returning to his room, Haku opened up his system panel.

Name: Haku

Ability: Rumble-Rumble Fruit [%50] [Unawakened]

Weapon: Ryujin Jakka [Shikai Unlocked] [Bankai Unlocked]

Skills: Three Types of Haki, Conqueror's Haki [Intermediate], Armament Haki [Intermediate], Observation Haki [Advanced]

Spiritual Pressure [Mastered]

Six Powers [Fully Mastered]

Kido [Destructive Arts] [Binding Arts]

Asauchi [Great Swordsman Level]

Shunpo [Fully Mastered]

Special Item: Hollow Mask [Unmastered], Ark Maxim [Complete Version]

From eating the Rumble-Rumble Fruit until now, two or three days had passed. Haku had grown from mastering 15% of the fruit's ability to 50% now!

One could say this rate of mastery counted as a flying, rocket-like improvement.

Of course, he guessed this was due to him using the Ark Maxim on Sabaody Archipelago.

Ever since he used his Devil Fruit ability to disperse the thunderclouds covering the upper part of the Red Line, he clearly felt his body become more compatible with the fruit's ability.

However, subsequent improvements probably wouldn't be this easy. If he wanted to single-handedly fight Kaido's entire Four Emperors pirate crew,

Haku felt that he would at least need to develop the Rumble-Rumble Fruit's ability to over 70%.

Otherwise, trying to deal with so many people, he felt he would still be a bit stretched!

Of course, once Haku activated his Bankai, aside from Kaido, only powerhouses of the Calamities' caliber would be able to approach him on the scene!
