The Navy's Operation, the Returnee
Marine Headquarters.
This is the Great Fortress of Justice.
On this day, the admirals of the Marine Headquarters gathered for a meeting.
"Smoker has been defeated."
Fleet Admiral Sengoku, who looked almost exactly the same as he had four years ago, rubbed his temples in exasperation. "He said that Straw Hat Kid has mastered Haki, Garp!"
His gaze shifted to his old friend. "You bastard, what do you have to say?"
Hahahaha!
The old man, whose hair was completely white and who had a burly build, laughed heartily, "I never expected that kid to actually learn it! He truly is worthy of being my grandson!"
"However, Sengoku, this is not my fault. I taught them to become excellent naval forces. Why did you have to call me back prematurely?"
Sengoku's lips twitched.
Back then, because of the Sirius Pirates, that old bastard Garp had been on leave to stay in the East Blue to take care of his kids, but later, due to an emergency, he was eventually called back.
This guy has been holding a grudge about this ever since.
"Alright, there's no point in blaming Garp now."
Great Advisor Tsuru spoke up in defense of his old friend, saying, "Rather than Straw Hat Kid, we should be more concerned about the situation in the New World right now."
"Speaking of the New World, Garp!"
Fleet Admiral Sengoku's anger not only didn't subside, but surged even more fiercely, "Your other grandson has been causing quite a ruckus lately too!"
Vice Admiral Garp scratched the back of his head and chuckled awkwardly.
"Fire Fist Ace and Captain Kid, we can no longer ignore the threat posed by them!"
Admiral Akainu's voice was cold. "Without a doubt, these two are the most promising new pirate stars after Black Wolf!"
"Indeed,"
Aokiji, who was lounging on the table looking sleepy, surprisingly agreed with Akainu's statement, "Kid set sail four years ago, and Fire Fist set sail three years ago. In the past few years, there have been no more dazzling new pirates on the high seas than them."
These two rookie pirates, who had only been at sea for a few years, had shown extraordinary potential, and in those years, they had gradually converted that potential into strength.
The only one who could surpass them was the mysteriously vanished Black Wolf Sirius.
"And Hawkins, Urouge, there are quite a few pirates who have made a name for themselves in recent years."
At this point, Fleet Admiral Sengoku glared fiercely at Vice Admiral Garp again, "Now we should also add your precious grandson to the list!"
Garp the Hero chuckled dismissively.
"It's fortunate that Crocodile and Moria returned to the New World, otherwise we would be struggling to deal with these guys," the Great Advisor said.
"Even so, the situation in the New World is becoming increasingly deteriorating."
Sengoku sighed, "Leaving aside the Rookie Pirates, although the Black Wolf's crew disappeared, that Red-Haired immediately filled the void and became the new Pirate Emperor!"
"Furthermore, the Black Wolf's crew hasn't completely disappeared; their influence remains, and remnants of their forces still entrenched in Wano Country!"
"Hahaha, speaking of which, that guy Chinjao has actually reappeared. Is it because Sirius cured his head?" Garp laughed heartily.
He was the one who punched Chinjao flat on the head, forcing him to leave the underworld.
"Wano Country is a country of samurai, and its strength is considerable. They've already started fighting, but they've inexplicably gotten involved with the remnants of the Sirius Pirates!"
Fleet Admiral Sengoku Sirius and his gang had clearly disappeared, they still seemed to haunt him relentlessly.
That is why the Navy still dares not lower its guard against the Sirius Pirates to this day.
They have been missing for four whole years. There is no trace of them in any corner of the ocean. Everyone says that they have been destroyed in some unknown corner of the world.
However, Sengoku still couldn't believe that such a powerful group of Sirius had simply vanished without a trace.
They may be hiding somewhere in the world, or they may be unable to appear for some reason, but one day in the future, they will return to the sea!
To cope with such a situation, the navy must remain vigilant at all times.
"Alright, we've discussed so many unnecessary things already, let's get down to business."
The Great Advisor crossed his arms, his voice remarkably calm, "So, Sengoku, can that guy's words be trusted?"
Everyone's expression turned serious, even the lazy Aokiji straightened its back, and the languid expression on its face disappeared.
Because the matter we are about to discuss is extremely important.
"Now we have no choice but to believe."
Fleet Admiral Sengoku's expression also turned serious. "Ever since that battle four years ago, the government has required us to devote all our efforts to the search for the Whitebeard Pirates."
Although I don't know why, as a military unit, all we need to do is honestly carry out the tasks assigned to us.
"Now that the opportunity has finally arrived, we certainly can't let it slip away."
"Understood."
Akainu nodded emphatically, a gleam of excitement on his face. "So, who should we send this time!"
"The three of you will all go together! And add Tokikake and Gion too!"
The Fleet Admiral slammed his fist on the table. "We must never repeat the mistakes of the Sirius Pirates!"
"In one fell swoop, we will completely crush the remnants of the previous era, a corner of the Four Emperors' power structure, Whitebeard Pirates!"
"Yes!"
A massive storm is about to hit.
Shortly after that time, on the other side...
Despite his busy schedule, Dragon had specially gone to Loguetown to see his son off at sea, returned to the headquarters of the Revolutionary Army.
The moment I stepped inside, a man had already come up to me.
"Mr. Dragon, how's Luffy doing?"
A handsome man with blond hair, wearing a hat, asked eagerly.
"Very good."
Dragon smiled and nodded. "Full of energy, and has found a trustworthy crew. They've already entered the Grand Line."
"Very good!"
The man, Sabo, the Revolutionary Army's chief of staff, smiled. "I'll go find him after he gets to the New World. He'll definitely be shocked, just like Ace was back then."
"I'm really looking forward to the day when the three of us get together again," he chuckled.
The last time the three of them reunited was ten years ago.
I really miss the times I laughed and laughed with my brothers.
"That kid shouldn't keep you waiting too long."
Although he had hardly raised the boy, Dragon had complete confidence in his son.
That is, at this time.
"Brubrubru"
The Den Den Mushi suddenly rang.
Dragon frowned and pulled out Den Den Mushi. There should only be a handful of people on this vast ocean who had his phone number. Who could it be?
He answered the call.
"Hey, Dragon, long time no see! How have you been?"
A cheerful voice came from the other end.
Dragon and Sabo froze simultaneously.
Then, in the next instant, tears welled up in Dragon's eyes.
"Are you finally back?"
Thank you so much to 'Miaoshen' for the generous 300 character points!
