Marine Headquarters.
Marineford, the Fleet Admiral's Office.
After hearing the report from Loguetown, Sengoku felt another headache coming on.
The Straw Hat crew actually had the strength to defeat Smoker. No, more precisely, Kisame Hoshigaki alone had stayed behind to cover their retreat and defeated Smoker and a large force of Marines.
For some reason, Buggy the Clown, whom Garp had been pursuing, had returned to Loguetown and clashed with Straw Hat Luffy. He had even tried to behead Straw Hat on the execution platform?
Sengoku glanced at that bastard Garp, who was having his afternoon tea. If that had actually happened, Buggy the Clown would have died a very ugly death, wouldn't he?
"Tell Smoker to hold his position in Loguetown. Don't let any more pirates from the East Blue enter the Grand Line." Having made his decision, Sengoku rubbed the bridge of his nose and gave the order.
"But, Fleet Admiral Sengoku..." The person on the other end of the Den Den Mushi hesitated for a long time before saying, "Smoker... Captain Smoker and Petty Officer Tashigi took a warship into the Grand Line in pursuit. Loguetown currently has no commanding officer."
"Bastard!!!"
Sengoku roared and hung up the Den Den Mushi.
Lately, one disaster had followed another, leaving the Fleet Admiral feeling deeply powerless.
"What happened?" Vice Admiral Tsuru asked.
Sengoku gave a long sigh. "Kisame Hoshigaki of the Straw Hat crew defeated Smoker and the Loguetown Marines by himself. The Straw Hat crew entered the Grand Line, and Smoker followed them without orders."
"That young fellow Smoker really is a headache." Vice Admiral Tsuru shook her head and sighed as well.
Smoker had always been a troublemaker. If he hadn't been a Logia Devil Fruit user, he would have been kicked out of the Marines long
