"Then, Garp, do you think he'll agree to become a Shichibukai?"
"Not sure." Garp continued eating his senbei.
Just then, the door was pushed open, and an elderly woman walked in, greeting the two of them. "Sengoku, Garp."
The newcomer's silver hair was combed impeccably, and her eyes glittered with wisdom. Her features were kind, and one could vaguely see that she must have been a great beauty in her youth.
Vice Admiral Tsuru of Marine Headquarters was a strategist like Sengoku, and together with him, she supported the Marines.
"Oh, Little Tsuru, want some senbei?" Garp generously offered her the senbei from Sengoku, but Vice Admiral Tsuru refused. Sengoku poured her a cup of tea. As for Garp, he could pour his own.
"Tsuru, you came at just the right time. Help me figure out whether Rodney can become a Shichibukai."
"The one who killed Crocodile? I think he can."
"Why do you say that?"
Vice Admiral Tsuru said, "Sengoku, you think too much. You should know that he's a pirate hunter. Compared to having a pirate become a Shichibukai, he'd be far better for us. The question now is whether he'll agree."
That was true. Would he agree?
"He probably will. Garp said he was a little greedy."
"Then remove the condition about giving part of his income to the World Government. We're not short of that little bit of money anyway. Have the Five Elders agreed?" Vice Admiral Tsuru asked.
Sengoku said, "They were the ones who suggested it to me, which is why I'm wondering whether Rodney can become a Shichibukai."
"Garp, you go make the trip!"
"No, I'm too lazy to move." Garp said with a laugh, "That kid isn't difficult to deal with. He's easygoing. As long as you don't provoke him, that is.
