In the office, Sengoku completely lost his composure when he learned that Roger had been captured by Tsugikuni Yoriichi and the others.
He could not help it. Faced with such staggering news, how could he possibly remain calm? Pirate King Roger was a figure from Sengoku's own era. Although the man had vanished from sight for some time after becoming the Pirate King, there was no doubting his strength.
As a Marine Headquarters admiral, Sengoku had clashed with Roger several times and knew all too well how troublesome the man was.
Even when he and Garp had joined forces alongside numerous Marine officers, they had still failed to crush the Roger Pirates.
Yet now, someone was telling him that Tsugikuni Yoriichi and his people had captured Pirate King Roger.
Sengoku acknowledged Tsugikuni Yoriichi's genius, but he still could not believe such news.
The Marine Dawn Branch, established less than a year ago, and Tsugikuni Yoriichi, who had been a Marine for less than three years, had captured Pirate King Roger?!
"Fake news!"
He could not stop himself from cursing under his breath. Sengoku lowered his head and looked at the Den Den Mushi receiver in his hand. Though that was what he thought, he still took the news seriously.
The person reporting to him was Kyros. Sengoku remembered the young man as someone exceptionally upright and dependable, someone who should not lie to him. Besides, even if Kyros wanted to lie, he would never deceive him about something like this. The consequences were simply too great, and a false report would be exposed easily.
Having thought it through, Sengoku took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, set down the receiver, and strode out of his office.
This was no longer news that one admiral could process alone!
