Senga felt that this incident was most likely related to Imu. When he left Mary Geoise, the aura of the Blond Gorosei also disappeared inexplicably, and it all happened very suddenly.
If it really has something to do with Imu, then Senga really wants to see what he's up to.
Kalifa was always very efficient, and she quickly notified the generals still at headquarters, who had already received the notification and were heading to the conference room.
Kalifa hung up the last Den Den Den Mushi, looked up at Senga, and
"Boss, everyone has been notified!"
Senga nodded.
"Kalifa, go back first. Shalulia is very sad because of her father. You two are close, so go and keep her company."
Kalifa immediately agreed. After spending time together, she could consider herself Shalulia's friend, and she was quite worried about Shalulia's situation.
However, the simultaneous death of twenty Celestial Dragons was no small matter, and she couldn't get away without Senga present.
Senga also knew that this matter put a lot of pressure on Kalifa. In a sense, the sudden death of twenty Celestial Dragons, especially those at the level of family heads, would have an impact no less than that of the Marineford War if word got out.
Using the displacement ability, Kalifa was sent back, and Senga teleported directly to the conference room.
When she arrived, Senga found Sengoku already waiting for her.
He is now the principal of the Navy and has a lot of free time. He likes to stroll around the headquarters building when he has nothing to do, and this time he probably just happened to be in the headquarters building.
Upon seeing Senga, Sengoku immediately asked,
"Senga, what happened?"
"Something has happened in Mary Geoise; twenty heads of the Celestial Dragons have died."
"What?!"
Sengoku was startled and quickly pressed for an answer.
Do you know who did it?
"I don't know. Fleet Admiral Kong said it. He said those twenty Celestial Dragons very suddenly; they wouldn't have known they were dead if their Vivre Card hadn't burned out."
At this point, Senga suddenly remembered that Sengoku had a close relationship with Sora, so she mentioned it.
"Principal Sengoku, please contact Fleet Admiral Kong now and ask him what the current situation is in Mary Geoise."
Sengoku nodded solemnly, took out a Den Den Mushi, and called Sora.
However, the Den Den Mushi rang for a long time, but no one answered.
Sengoku's expression grew increasingly grim. Even if Sora wasn't there, there would be guards or something to answer the phone for him; it was almost impossible for a situation like this, where no one answered, to occur.
Senga paused for a moment, then said,
"Let's put it away for now. It seems something's happened with Fleet Admiral Kong, and it's quite serious."
After everyone in the meeting room had arrived, Senga recounted the story again, adding that Kong had lost contact.
A commotion broke out in the meeting room. Aokiji, with his more conservative views, suggested...
"Should we send someone to investigate first? This whole thing seems rather strange."
At this moment, even Kizaru abandoned his usual indifferent attitude and spoke seriously.
"We haven't heard anything from Vegapunk at all lately. Things are getting serious. Maybe I should go there?"
Akainu, who is usually aggressive, was unusually quiet at this moment, his gaze never leaving Senga.
Since the Marineford War, he had become a supporter of Senga, believing that Senga would make the right decision.
The arrangements.
The crane spoke up at this moment.
"Senga, what are you going to do?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes were focused on Senga's face. They all knew that Senga was now the undisputed backbone of the Navy, and whatever he said was done.
Senga's gaze swept around the conference room, and he said in a deep voice,
"I have decided to send troops to Mary Geoise!"
After Senga finished speaking, Akainu was the first to speak.
"I second that! Things have developed to this point and there's no time to waste!"
Not only Akainu, but all the other admirals responded immediately after Senga spoke, without considering whether sending troops to Mary Geoise would displease the World Government.
It can be said that because of Senga, the Navy is now more united than ever before. Whether they are doves, hawks, or centrists, they will resolutely carry out Senga's decisions.
A smile appeared on Senga's face, and he waved his hand.
"Very good. Inform the entire army, we shall depart now!"
The Red Line Continent was unusually quiet, with countless men in black guarding the edge. Among them stood some tall figures wearing cloaks and masks.
The deaths of twenty Celestial Dragons caused widespread panic among the remaining Celestial Dragons. Apart from the Kimono Gorosei, the other three Gorosei had no idea what had happened to the twenty Celestial Dragons and could only mobilize Mary Geoise's forces to guard the area and prevent the situation from worsening.
The four of them were sitting in the hall, discussing this matter together.
The Kimono Gorosei held their samurai swords, remaining silent; no one knew what they were thinking.
The other three Gorosei were conversing with grave expressions, with the Hat Gorosei being the most agitated.
"What exactly happened? Twenty Celestial Dragons died so silently? Who had the audacity to do that?"
"I've already sent CP0 people to investigate, but we still haven't found a single clue."
"They're all a bunch of useless trash! Where's Kong? Why did he disappear too?"
"I don't know, we haven't been able to contact him since that day."
"Could he have done this?"
"Impossible, are you confused? Sora isn't Uchiha Senga; he's always been very respectful of the World Government."
"Could it have been done by Uchiha Senga!?"
"Probably not. He did leave that day, and this happened after he left."
"Damn it! So twenty Celestial Dragons just died like that, without any explanation!? Do you understand how terrible the consequences will be if this gets out!?"
"The news has been blocked; we just don't know how things are on the navy's end."
"Hmph! With Uchiha Senga, do you think the Navy will listen to us now?"
"But no matter what, the Navy is still under the jurisdiction of our World Government. Should we ask them to help us handle this matter?"
"Are you kidding me? Isn't this implying our incompetence??"
At this moment, the Kimono Gorosei, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up.
"Enough. Lord Imu already knows about this. He told us not to rush things and that he will take action personally when the time comes."
"Nani? Imu is going to take action personally?!"
Upon hearing this, the other three Gorosei were startled. Before they could react, a man in black rushed in, shouting...
"Sirs! The navy is here!"
