Marine Headquarters, Marineford.
Only a few years had passed since Sengoku the Buddha had taken over as Fleet Admiral, and already, a week after the clash between Kujo Tachibana and the Loguetown Marines, he had received several reports from Loguetown in the East Blue.
He had more or less learned the whole story of the mysterious Swordsman's clash with the Marines.
From the reports, he could also see how restrained the bounty hunter had been. Sengoku knew that this powerful bounty hunter had no desire to make an enemy of the Marines. He should count as being on the side of justice and order!
But he had run into Calle, that idiot...
Of course, now that Sengoku knew what had happened, Colonel Calle was certainly in for a rough time.
Holding Kujo Tachibana's "résumé," Sengoku furrowed his brows deeply. What kind of nonsense was this?
Name: Unknown?
Age: Unknown?
Strength assessment: Top-tier Swordsman, suspected of having mastered Advanced Armament Haki.
At the bottom was a full-body sketch of Kujo Tachibana.
"Top-tier Swordsman... mastered Advanced Armament Haki..." Sengoku murmured.
After thinking it over, he picked up the Den Den Mushi on his desk and called Garp's.
"Moshi moshi, it's Sengoku."
"Garp, come over. I need you to take care of something."
As soon as he finished speaking, Sengoku hung up, not giving Garp a chance to object.
A moment later, Garp, his face dark, kicked open the door to the Fleet Admiral's Office and asked angrily,
"Sengoku, don't you know my grandson Luffy was just born?"
"Whatever it is, I don't have time. Get someone else to handle it!"
Sengoku kept his head down, working on the documents in his hands. Without even looking up, he said,
"Oh? You're sure you won't handle it? Something's happened in the East Blue."
