Priority Personnel Search List!

The Sea Star Homeworld, Mary Geoise, Authority Room, always seems so clean and luxurious, even the air is filled with a faint fragrance.

The fragrance of power.

"Intelligence has come from Addison in the Kabane World: last night, Bullet's Army annihilated the so-called Alliance Expeditionary Force. No officers of colonel rank or above were used, nor were any 'Nue's. The casualties were heavy, with over a thousand killed, and they also captured 'Narukami'."

Topman Saint Topman Warcury, who was in charge of the State Council, crossed his fingers in front of him and said in a deep voice.

"Narukami. Oh, you mean the heavy howitzer with a caliber of 480 mm that I mentioned before?" It took Zambalong V. Saint Nusjuro, who was in charge of the overall command of the army, a few seconds to remember.

This thing sounds pretty impressive, but to the World Government it's really just a piece of junk. As for the loss of more than a thousand Army soldiers, that's even less of a concern.

"Yes, Bullet plans to disassemble it and have the people at the Academy of Sciences of Sciences modify it to use as a toy for a while."

Upon hearing Topman Saint Topman Warcury's words, Marcus Saint Mars, who was in charge of the Propaganda Administration, shook his head with a wry smile. "This kid really knows how to cause trouble for the Academy of Sciences. The people there are probably swamped with work right now!"

"Let's grant his request if it doesn't take too much effort. Bullet has done a good job this time, and the soldiers he trains are indeed excellent. Raymond has praised him to me several times."

Zambalong V. Saint Nusjuro chose to say a few words for his subordinate at this time, mainly because Bullet's potential was worth his attention.

"Alright, I'll let the Academy of Sciences know. Speaking of which, the Academy of Sciences has recently recruited a number of researchers from various seas, and we even found Dr. Wolf, who was on the list. This is truly an unexpected surprise!"

Marcus Saint Mars seemed to have thought of something and chuckled with some delight, which aroused the curiosity of the other four Five Elders.

List.

They knew this; it was a list of key personnel to be searched, issued to them by Lord Imu, who were said to be people who would have a significant impact on the 'future'.

The list given to Marcus Saint Mars naturally consisted of scientists from various fields.

"Dr. Wolf was indeed found in the North Blue, just as the information on the list indicated. However, by the time the search team arrived at Feiyan Island, he had already gone out to sea with his son Buck."

Going to sea?

Could it be...?

Marcus Saint Mars, seeing their expressions, knew what they were thinking and sighed helplessly, "That's right, just as you think. That Buck went to One Piece and became a pirate, Dr. Wolf has been following him because he's worried about his son."

"So how did you find it later?"

"Topman Saint Topman Warcury asked curiously."

"Because they had only been at sea for a short time, our search team contacted nearby naval branches and found the father and son, the Drunkard Pirates founded by Buck, a week later. He also had a bounty of 23 million Beli on him."

"That high?"

Topman Saint Topman Warcury frowned. A bounty of over twenty million was quite high in the North Blue. He asked, "Is this Buck very strong?"

"He's alright in the North Blue, mainly because he's a Special Paramecia Devil Fruit User. Not only can he turn himself into alcohol and dissolve, but he can also control the alcohol vapor to get everyone around him drunk."

Marcus Saint Mars opened his palm and laughed, "You know, in that sea area where almost no one masters Haki, even the Navy couldn't do anything about his ability. It was our search team that took him down."

"Then what?"

"The rest was simple. Dr. Wolf agreed to join the Academy of Sciences and work for us so that his son wouldn't be sent to Impel Down."

At this point, his gaze turned to the person in charge of the Judiciary, wearing a black flat cap and bearing the full name of Jaygarcia Saint Saturn.

"Considering his abilities, he was handed over to the Judiciary. Come to think of it, Impel Down is now under their jurisdiction too."

The latter nodded and smiled, "I've already handed Buck over to Dragon for training. I believe it won't be long before our Ministry of Police has another expert."

What the police force needs most are individuals with abilities that are not particularly lethal but highly effective at making arrests; the Drunk-Drunken Fruit is clearly a perfect fit.

"Speaking of which, Dr. Wolf is indeed a genius scientist, extremely talented in the field of mechanical research and development. The key is that what he is currently developing is very interesting; even Vegapunk has praised it."

Marcus Saint Mars stroked his long, straight beard and sighed, then, without waiting for further questions, revealed what it was.

"He wants to develop a type of vessel that can dive into the deep sea and travel at high speeds, like Sea King, without needing a coated bubble – he calls it a submarine!"

Upon hearing about the purpose of this submarine, all Five Elders' eyes lit up. They could all imagine how useful such a thing would be.

The coating process takes too long. If we could eliminate this troublesome step, it would be much more efficient to travel in and out of the latter half of the Grand Line.

They no longer like to call that sea area where the great One Piece band together the 'New World'. After all, compared to the real New World, what is New World latter?

"Could this submarine also be used for underwater attacks?" Zambalong V. Saint Nusjuro, a military fanatic, immediately thought of its military value.

Marcus Saint Mars music.

"Hey, you know what, Dr. Wolf also thought of this, so in his research plan, he also wants to equip this submarine with special underwater shells, called torpedoes."

Zambalong V. Saint Nusjuro was immediately satisfied. Looking at the other party, he said emphatically, "This Dr. Wolf is absolutely a talent. You must protect him well and do everything you can to help him develop the submarine as soon as possible!"

Marcus Saint Mars nodded with a pleased expression, "You don't need to tell us, we'll do it."

"Alright, we've gone way off-topic. The main topic of this gathering is the selection of the top leaders for the Otherworld Strategy Committee."

Once the idle chatter was over, Topman Saint Topman Warcury immediately straightened out the crooked post.

This Otherworld Strategy Committee is a new department they plan to propose establishing at the upcoming government conference, which is the World Government Supreme Administrative Conference.

It is specifically responsible for managing the integration and allocation of resources in all future Star Gate World, as well as maintaining stable order, so its scope of power is quite extensive.

Now, the other four finally refocused and their expressions became serious.

"Let me start by saying that the Otherworld Strategy Committee must have the authority to mobilize the military, CIPHER POL, and police within the Star Gate World. Otherwise, if unexpected situations arise, they will have difficulty responding in a timely manner!"

Topman Saint Topman Warcury's gaze swept over Zambalong V. Saint Nusjuro, Jaygarcia Saint Saturn, and Shepard X. Shepherd Ju Peter Saint, fortunately, all three of them understood the importance of this matter.

"On the military side, they can be allowed to directly mobilize combat forces below the Commodore general, but they need to provide a reasonable explanation to the relevant military departments afterward!"

"Yes, it's similar with CIPHER POL. Staff below the division level are being transferred with them. Same thing, they need to give us an explanation later."

Upon hearing Shepard Shepherd Ju Peter's words, Topman Saint Topman Warcury frowned and asked, "Only at the division level? Why not at the bureau level?"

"We are an intelligence agency. Our division-level officials possess too much secret intelligence. It's not appropriate to grant the Otherworld Strategy Committee direct mobilization authority."

The former gave a reasonable explanation without any expression, while the latter could only remain silent after hearing it. The division commander of the CIPHER POL is equivalent to the highest-ranking officer of each No. CP, such as the commander of CP7, the commander of CP9, and so on.

"Although the Ministry of Police's situation is not yet fully formed, in order to allow them to directly mobilize Police Force below the rank of Senior Superintendent in the future."

After saying that, Jaygarcia Saint Saturn added with a self-deprecating laugh, "You probably aren't familiar with what this rank is; it's equivalent to a field officer in the military."

Topman Saint Topman Warcury nodded. He wasn't particularly concerned about the Ministry of Police; its future performance would depend on its actions.
