Within the spacious office of the Fleet Admiral at Marine Headquarters.
Sengoku, Garp, Akainu, Kizaru, and Blue Pheasant—the Navy's highest-ranking combat forces—had gathered together.
What had prompted such a grand gathering was the souvenir Kuzan had brought back from his vacation:
Golden Lion Shiki's corpse.
Unlike Whitebeard and Roger, who stood alongside him in fame, Golden Lion possessed not only great personal strength and high mobility, but also a temperament closer to that of a true pirate.
While Whitebeard began developing territories and transforming into a local warlord, and Roger became an adventurer searching for the great treasure, Golden Lion was still carrying out pirate work such as plundering, conquering cities, and destroying nations.
He had roamed from place to place in his day, committing countless major crimes and heinous offenses. Naturally, he had become a priority target of the Navy's military forces.
The current Fleet Admiral, the Hero of the Navy, and the three Admirals had all crossed paths with Shiki before.
"Golden Lion Shiki."
As one of those who had once chased after Shiki and eaten his dust, Kizaru looked at the corpse his colleague had brought back and could not help sighing nostalgically.
"Because of that old man, I didn't get to enjoy a single day off back then!"
"Hahaha!"
Garp laughed loudly and sighed as well.
"Shiki, that guy who could fly all over the place, really was too hard to catch!"
"If he hadn't come charging into Marine Headquarters to challenge Sengoku and me to a duel, we probably never would have caught him in our lives."
"Kuzan!"
Garp laughed as he patted Kuzan on the shoulder, then praised him.
"This time, you and that kid really did something big!"
"That kid's time as a Shichibukai certainly wasn't for nothing!"
"Garen."
Sengoku spoke the name
