An unbelievable name reached Kabuto's ears.
At once.
He froze completely!
What outrageous name had he just heard?
Sengoku?
The Navy's legendary former Fleet Admiral, the current Grand Inspector of the Navy, and the head of the anti-Grass special task force—Fleet Admiral Sengoku was actually an undercover agent from the Land of Grass?!
To be honest, he had considered that the Land of Grass spy lurking deep within Navy Headquarters might be someone utterly unexpected.
He had even suspected Sakazuki, the Navy's current Fleet Admiral.
But...
He truly had not expected the answer to be this absurd~
Even though he and Father Mujitsu had long learned to keep a straight face no matter what happened, they could not help looking as though they had seen a ghost at that moment!
Was this real or fake?
"Oh~, that? I'm not entirely sure either!" Vegapunk frowned upon hearing Kabuto's question. "I've only gathered a little information about the Navy's current situation. After all, this is an extremely confidential matter for them. If things had not grown too serious to suppress, I probably would not have received any news at all."
As he spoke, he sighed again and fell silent for a moment.
"But I have to admit, the Land of Grass is indeed rather surprising. Zephyr and Garp's betrayals were shocking, but Sengoku is different. He was the Navy's Fleet Admiral and deeply trusted by the Gorosei.
To be honest, although he handled certain matters very poorly, as Fleet Admiral, one had to admit that he was an exceptionally dutiful one. The justice he bore, Justice Reigning Over All, was also widely recognized across the seas."
He shook his head.
"And yet... who would have thought he had already defected to the Land of Grass?! I heard that he was caught red-handed
