"Admiral Aokiji is at a disadvantage and needs support from Navy Headquarters!" Strawberry repeated, this time stating outright that Aokiji was at a disadvantage, raising the severity of the situation another level.
"How is that possible?! Aokiji is one of the three Admirals of Navy Headquarters! How could he be suppressed by some unknown brat?!" Fleet Admiral Sengoku shouted in disbelief.
"I can hardly believe it either, but that is the situation at the scene. The two are fighting at sea, and Aokiji has already been injured. He needs the support of the other two Admirals!"

Kizaru was lying on the sofa with his head resting on his arm, taking an afternoon nap. Hearing the Den Den Mushi, he cracked his eyes open slightly, then closed them again.
"Aren't you going to see who's calling?" Marimo, seated on the sofa opposite Kizaru, asked.
"Whoever it is, I'm off today," Kizaru said.

"Well... I was asleep earlier. What is it?"
"Aokiji needs support. Go over there!" Fleet Admiral Sengoku said.
Sengoku's words froze the expressions on both Kizaru's and Marimo's faces. Who
