Don't Get Fooled

At this moment, Steel Bone Kong said coldly to Garp: "Garp, what is your relationship with this brat Kait!"

"Ahaha!!!" Garp chuckled dryly, holding Kait's head under his armpit and continuously punching him. His goal was simple: he just didn't want Kait to speak.

He knew Kait had a foul-mouthed habit. Thinking of this, Garp increased the force in his hands!

"Alalala! Vice Admiral Garp, you're going to strangle Kait to death!" Aokiji, standing nearby, couldn't help but remind Garp.

Kait was already foaming at the mouth, his face turning blue. It was a clear sign of suffocation.

Sengoku shook his head helplessly at Garp's unreliable behavior! He then explained Kait's identity to Steel Bone Kong.

Steel Bone Kong pondered for a moment, then glanced at the two of them!

"Sengoku, Garp, follow me!" With that, Steel Bone Kong turned and walked towards the headquarters building!

Sengoku and Garp exchanged a look, then quickly followed!

Kait, who had already fainted from suffocation, was unceremoniously thrown aside by Garp. Ms. Tsuru was left to watch over him.

In the office of Fleet Admiral Sengoku of the Marine Headquarters!

Steel Bone Kong plopped down onto the office chair, while Sengoku and Garp stood before the desk in front of Steel Bone Kong!

Steel Bone Kong looked at the two men before him and asked with an imposing tone: "Tell me about the situation between Sakazuki and that brat!"

Garp and Sengoku were silent for a moment, then Sengoku started, with Garp supplementing, to explain Kait's situation clearly!

Steel Bone Kong was slightly surprised by the relationship between Kait and Garp!

Steel Bone Kong said to Garp: "I didn't expect you to have such an excellent grandson hidden away!"

"Not at all! Not at all! My child is naturally cut out to be a Marine."

Garp scratched his head and laughed heartily as if embarrassed, but the pride in his eyes couldn't be hidden.

Steel Bone Kong had just taken a super high-temperature slash from Kait, so he had a clear understanding of Kait's strength!

At this moment, Sengoku said: "Now that Kait's strength surpasses Akainu, his combat power evaluation naturally places him on the list of Admiral candidates!"

Garp suddenly interrupted: "Wait! Sengoku, what do you mean 'naturally placed on the list of Admiral candidates'? My grandson's strength is already sufficient to be a Fleet Admiral. How can he only be an Admiral candidate!"

"Garp, you rascal!" Sengoku showed his displeasure at Garp's sudden interruption!

"I do acknowledge Kait's strength, but do you think it's that simple to become a Fleet Admiral!"

"Admiral candidates need to be assessed in multiple aspects such as military experience, ability, influence, and potential! Although Kait's strength is outstanding, he still lacks the experience to become a Fleet Admiral!"

"Besides, becoming an Admiral candidate is just giving him a promotion channel. Whether he can ultimately become a Fleet Admiral depends on his own performance!"

Sengoku's words left Garp speechless. Although he really wanted Haku to become a Marine Admiral immediately, Sengoku's reasoning was sound.

So, Garp took a different approach and said, "But Haku's strength is undeniable! Everyone has seen it. Sengoku, if you don't tie him down with the position of Marine Admiral, what if this kid throws in the towel!"

Sengoku was suddenly reminded of Garp's son! He suddenly felt this problem was also quite tricky. He looked at Steel Bone Kong, who was sitting on his seat with an air of confidence. In the end, he slyly kicked the problem to the other party!

"Fleet Admiral Steel Bone Kong, what are your thoughts on Haku!" Sengoku asked Steel Bone Kong!

Steel Bone Kong pondered for a moment and said, "His strength is formidable, and his potential is immense! His future achievements might even surpass yours!"

"However," Steel Bone Kong changed the subject, "he is too young and a bit impulsive! He needs more tempering!"

Sengoku's eyes narrowed, and he asked in a low voice, "So? You also don't agree with Haku becoming a Marine Admiral now?"

Garp's expression dimmed slightly, thinking that the matter of Haku becoming a Marine Admiral was hopeless.

"No! I think this position can be given to Haku. After all, this kid's strength is indeed a bit monstrous. It's just the position of an Admiral; the Marines can afford it!" Steel Bone Kong said in a deep voice.

"But you just said this kid is young and impulsive and needs experience?" Sengoku asked, looking bewildered.

At this moment, Garp couldn't help but interject, "Hey, hey, hey! Sengoku, what do you mean? Are you that unwilling for my grandson to become a Fleet Admiral!"

Sengoku coughed dryly and glared at Garp!

Sengoku ignored Garp, who was about to make a scene beside him. He looked intently at Steel Bone Kong in front of him!

At this moment, Steel Bone Kong spoke, "Haku indeed needs more experience, but who says he can't gain experience after becoming a Fleet Admiral? And don't you consider Haku's outstanding qualities?"

Seeing Sengoku's confusion, Steel Bone Kong shook his head and said, "Are you blinded by what's in front of you? There has never been anyone with such exceptional talent in the entire sea."

Immediately, Steel Bone Kong spread his palm, and a scorched mark was clearly displayed before Sengoku, Garp, and the others.

Steel Bone Kong continued, "How old is this kid now? Have you ever seen anyone so young who could harm my physical body? Although he is young, he already possesses the strength to be an Admiral. Furthermore, Sengoku, can you find another talent like this in the Marines?"

Finally, Steel Bone Kong posed the most realistic question.

He stood up, walked around the desk, and patted Sengoku's shoulder, saying, "Don't forget, Haku is still young, and his strength has huge room for improvement. When his strength increases further, will he still care about the position of Admiral?"

"Don't regret it when this kid ends up pursuing the One Piece or gets tricked by Garp's son!" After saying that, Steel Bone Kong left Sengoku's office.

The moment the door closed, a voice entered the ears of the two in the office: "By the way, Garp, isn't your son the leader of the Revolutionary Army? Does he know about Haku's existence?"

"Uh... Haku doesn't. Kong, about Dragon, that matter, actually... it was an accident. Sengoku, you...?" Garp didn't know what to say for a moment.

After hearing Steel Bone Kong's words, Sengoku was stunned for a moment, then fell into a deep contemplation that lasted more than ten minutes.

Garp knew his old comrade best. He knew he shouldn't disturb Sengoku while he was thinking, so he had no choice but to take out a bag of senbei and crunch them on the sofa nearby.
