"Report to Admiral! All the children at G5 base have been rescued! We also found reports of missing children from civilians in that guy's office! Furthermore, he lied about military intelligence and buried the truth. He treated the matter of the children being abducted as an accident, deceiving their parents."

While reporting this, the Marine soldier couldn't stop glancing at the now-trapped Overlord. Even he felt that what the other party had done was truly damnable!

Haku nodded, then ordered, "Gather those cases so we can find the parents of those children! Also, make sure to settle the children who were kidnapped."

"Yes, Admiral!" With that, the Marine soldier left to handle the matters Haku had instructed.

Haku then took out a Den Den Mushi from his pocket!

Ring-ring-ring! Ring-ring-ring!

Click!

Sengoku, who was handling documents at Marine Headquarters, immediately answered when he saw it was Haku's Den Den Mushi ringing!

"Haku! How are things at G5?" As soon as he picked up the call, Sengoku asked about the matter that was weighing on his mind.

Haku paused for a moment, then spoke in a tone he never usually displayed, "Fleet Admiral! I've executed nearly two-thirds of the Marines at G5 Headquarters!"

"What!!!" Sengoku was utterly shocked upon hearing Haku's words.

He then said angrily, "You brat! Is this how you handle things with full authority! Aren't you afraid the World Government will come after you!!!"

"Y-y-y! Don't get so excited, Fleet Admiral!"

Sengoku's scolding made Haku's eardrums ache slightly. It was clear the Fleet Admiral was quite infuriated!

"Nonsense! How can I not be excited! An entire Marine branch, half of it destroyed right after you took over!"

"Hahaha! Hahaha!"

While Haku was communicating with Sengoku, Overlord, who was lying on the ground, suddenly burst into maniacal laughter.

"Laugh, laugh, laugh. Laugh your *ss off." As he spoke, Haku raised his left foot and kicked Overlord in the abdomen!

"Haku, what's going on? Who is that person with you?" Sengoku asked.

At this moment, Overlord said with a laugh, "So what if you're a Marine Admiral! Do you know who's behind me!"

This idiot! Haku thought. I've never seen someone so eager to sell out their master.

But Haku still played along, "Oh? I'm curious, who is behind you? Someone who doesn't even fear me, a Marine Admiral."

Overlord sneered, "The person behind me is naturally the king of the underworld, 'Joker'! And behind him stands one of the Four Emperors, Kaido! Just wait for your death!"

"Oh no! I'm so scared!" Haku said feigning fear.

Ignoring the fool, Haku spoke into the Den Den Mushi, "Fleet Admiral, did you hear that?"

"These people are now connected to the Four Emperors. I shouldn't be wrong for killing them, right!"

"Sigh..." A sigh came from the Den Den Mushi.

Haku could feel the deep weariness of Sengoku, the Fleet Admiral.

It couldn't be helped. His tenure as Fleet Admiral coincided with the Great Pirate Era initiated by Gol D. Roger.

"Brat! Since you called, do you have something planned?" Sengoku adjusted his mindset, his voice returning to its usual authoritative tone!

Haku countered with a smile, "Fleet Admiral! Don't you think it's time to expand the Marine numbers again? Coincidentally, I also need to replenish the personnel at my base."

Sengoku grumbled, "We're already short on Marines, don't think you can poach people from me!"

Haku chuckled, his intentions exposed.

He then changed the subject, "Next, I need to go to Wano Country. If nothing unexpected happens, recruiting Marines should become much easier from now on!"

"What do you mean, brat? What are you going to Wano Country for?"

Upon hearing Haku's reply, Sengoku immediately became vigilant.

He had a feeling Haku wouldn't be staying out of trouble. He might even get implicated to some extent!

Haku explained, "What am I going for? That's classified. But it certainly won't be bad for you."

"Do you know that Wano Country is the stronghold of the Four Emperor Kaido?" Sengoku said sternly.

"I know! It's precisely because Kaido is in Wano Country that I'm rushing over!"

"You brat, stop beating around the bush. Speak quickly! Or I'll get angry!"

Sengoku threatened.

How could he not be angry? Garp, who had to deal with his grandson wanting to become the Pirate King, was no longer as troublesome as before!

But now, this grandson of his, Haku, was even more troublesome. It was giving him a headache!

"Alright! It's nothing much, I just want to retrieve a batch of Seastone from Wano Country!"

As he spoke, Haku was flipping through a report in his hand. The most important part was!

A large batch of Seastone, processed by Wano Country artisans after being handed over by the Marines, had been stolen. This important report was being suppressed by Overlord and not submitted to Marine Headquarters.

Haku recounted the entire report he had just read to Sengoku!

After hearing Haku's explanation, Sengoku asked suspiciously, "You just want to retrieve that batch of Seastone belonging to the Marines?"

"Of course, what else would I be doing?" Haku said with a clear conscience.

Although Sengoku keenly sensed that Haku actually had another motive?

However, Seastone is also extremely important to the Marines, as it is one of the effective means to restrain Devil Fruit users!

After considering it, Sengoku decided to leave this matter to Haku to handle.

Upon hearing Sengoku's decision, Haku revealed a satisfied smile.

"Understood, Fleet Admiral! I will handle this matter as quickly as possible," Haku said.

"Remember, don't cause me any trouble!" Sengoku warned sternly.

"Don't worry, Fleet Admiral! I will definitely proceed with caution," Haku assured him.

After hanging up the Den Den Mushi, Haku glared at the remaining Marines in the G5 branch whom he hadn't dealt with yet.

He said to this group, "You are fortunate because I can truly sense that none of you have done anything against justice in your hearts."

Haku's words made these Marines breathe a sigh of relief! They knew the real reason they had survived.

"However, you must understand that as members of the Marines, your responsibility is to protect the people and uphold justice. If anyone dares to challenge this principle, I will show no mercy," Haku said sternly.

To emphasize his resolve, Haku even used Conqueror's Haki. He believed this mental shock would leave an indelible mark on their hearts!

If anyone were to truly consider doing something in the future, they would recall what happened today!
