Marine Headquarters, Marineford.
The highest combat conference room.
This conference room, which symbolizes the highest power in the world, is filled with an atmosphere of decadence and despair.
On both sides of the long table, the surviving vice-admirals lowered their heads like defeated roosters.
At the main seat, Sengoku, who had just taken over the position of marshal, seemed to have turned half of his originally black hair white overnight.
"The situation... has reached its most dangerous edge."
Sengoku pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses, his voice was hoarse, but there was an unquestionable determination.
"General Sakazuki died in battle."
"General Kuzan... was seriously injured and disabled, and his abilities were disabled by Deprivation."
"Lieutenant General Garp was captured."
Sengoku took a deep breath and clenched his fists.
"The current Marine Headquarters's high-end combat power is almost in a vacuum!"
"Four Emperors is ready to move at New World, and Revolutionary Army is also secretly expanding."
"If we don't add new blood, justice... will collapse!"
Lieutenant General He sighed, "Sengoku, what are you going to do?"
Sengoku stood up suddenly, his eyes burning:
"In extraordinary times, do extraordinary things!"
"First!"
"Borsalino! Although your previous performance disappointed me, now is the time to employ people."
Sengoku looked at the wretched uncle in the corner who was trimming his nails, "Effective immediately, you will be promoted to General Marine Headquarters! Code name Kizaru!"
"Stop trying to fish for me! If the Navy collapses, your salary will be gone too!"
Kizaru curled his lips and looked helpless. "Yeah~ It's so scary. If you ask me to step in now, isn't it asking me to die... But forget it, for the sake of salary."
"Second!"
Sengoku looked at the door of the conference room and his tone became extremely solemn.
"In order to fill the vacancies of Sakazuki and Kuzan, I used the marshal's privileges to recall a former general."
"Come in, Zephyr!"
Boom!
The door opens.
A tall man strode in.
Although he has a head full of white hair, his iron-blooded killing momentum has not diminished at all.
Former Marine Admiral, Black Arm Zephyr!
"Hmph! Sengoku, I didn't expect that one day I would wear Justice Cloak again with my bones."
"Although that kid Akainu is extreme, he died in the hands of One Piece. I can't ignore it."
"That Tobirama Uchiha... I will crush him with my own hands!"
Sengoku nodded. "With you in charge, the military's morale can be stabilized!"
"Zephyr, from now on, you will resume your position as general!"
"Third!"
A trace of ruthlessness flashed in Sengoku's eyes, "Seven Warlords System must be perfected immediately! No matter what means are used, force those big One Piece to the negotiating table! Let them be cannon fodder to consume the power of that Uchiha Clan!"
A series of orders were issued, and the huge machine of the Navy finally started to operate with difficulty again.
After the meeting.
Marshal's Office.
The crowd dispersed, leaving only Sengoku alone.
He looked out the window at the dilapidated Marineford Square, rubbing his brows with a sad look on his face.
"The most troublesome thing... is Kuzan."
Sengoku looked at the medical report on the table.
Although Kuzan saved his life, he lost Ice-Ice Fruit, his body suffered heavy injuries, and his strength even dropped to the level of an ordinary lieutenant general.
"The former general has now become a useless person..."
"If he continues to be a general, it will be difficult to convince the public."
"But if he is demoted or fired, it will chill the hearts of the soldiers."
Sengoku sighed and felt like a few more hairs had fallen out.
That Tobirama Uchiha not only killed people, but also left him with such an unsolvable political problem.
"What a... damn bastard."
East Blue, Loguetown.
This is known as the "Town of Beginnings and Ends."
Because One Piece Roger was born here and was executed here.
"Huh..."
The space is slightly distorted.
Tobirama, along with Hancock, Robin, Kaya and others, appeared out of thin air at the entrance of a bustling commercial street in Loguetown.
Tobirama looked calm and put his hands in his pockets.
"Now that you're here, let's relax."
He casually threw Hancock a black card that came from some unlucky gangster.
"Go buy some supplies and give Kaya and Robin some decent clothes."
"I'm going to do something."
"Yes! Sir!"
Hancock took the card and immediately became excited, dragging his two love rivals and rushing to the clothing store.
"Robin! You are so ugly in this rag! You will embarrass me! Follow me!"
"And you sick boy, hurry up!"
Watching the three women leave, Tobirama shook his head.
The fighting power of women when shopping is sometimes more terrifying than Four Emperors.
He turned around and walked toward the shadows at the corner of the street alone.
According to perception, the weapons store named Ipponmatsu is nearby.
There is a demon sword named Third Generation Kitetsu. Although it is not as good as Supreme Grade Blade, it is still valuable for collection.
On another street.
"Stop! Don't run!!"
"You despicable One Piece!"
A clear and somewhat cute shout sounded out.
I saw a girl with short dark blue hair, red-rimmed glasses, and a navy uniform, holding the famous sword Rain Shower, panting and chasing several fierce One Piece.
This person is none other than Navy Commander Cao, Tashigi.
"Tch! It's a navy bitch!"
"Brothers! Kill her!"
Seeing that they couldn't escape, those One Pieces simply drew their knives and surrounded them with evil smiles on their faces.
"Although he is a marine, he is quite handsome!"
"Discourteous person!"
Tashigi pushed up his glasses, his eyes instantly became sharp.
Although she is usually a confused person, as long as she holds the sword, she is a professional swordsman!
"One-sword style·Rain Shower no Kiri!"
Brush! Brush! Brush!
The sword light flashed.
Although Tashigi's body skills are not top-notch, they are definitely sufficient in a novice village like East Blue.
In just a few rounds, the knives in the hands of those One Piece were knocked away, there were a few blood marks on their bodies, and they fell to the ground screaming.
"Phew... Done!"
Tashigi put the knife into its sheath, with a naive smile on his face.
"I'm going to take you all back now..."
Just when she lowered her guard and was about to take the handcuffs.
One of them, One Piece, fell to the ground, with a trace of viciousness suddenly flashing in his eyes.
He didn't faint, he was pretending to be dead!
Seeing Tashigi's back turned to him, he suddenly took out a short gun from his arms and aimed it at Tashigi's back!
"Go to hell! You stinky woman!"
Bang!
Gunshots rang out!
The distance is too close!
Tashigi When he heard the sound and turned around, the bullet was already in front of him!
"Huh?"
Her eyes widened and she had no time to escape.
To die...
At this critical moment.
Buzz!
A silver afterimage appeared behind her without warning.
It's like the space has been misaligned.
Snap.
A slender white hand raised up casually and caught the spinning bullet between two fingers.
"What!"
The sneak attack One Piece was dumbfounded.
Catching bullets with bare hands!
Tobirama stood behind Tashigi, looking at One Piece with indifferent eyes.
"Sneak attack?"
"What a boring trick."
Click.
With a slight exertion of his fingers, the bullet was crushed into powder.
The next second.
Tobirama didn't even use Conqueror's Haki, but just released a hint of murderous intent.
Boom!
That One Piece felt as if his brain had been hit by a heavy hammer, his eyes rolled, he was frightened to the point of cardiac arrest, and he died on the spot!
"Hey hey hey?"
Only then did Tashigi react.
She looked at One Piece who fell to the ground dead, and then looked at the silver-haired man who suddenly appeared behind her.
Because she moved too quickly, her foot slipped.
"Wow!"
The whole person rushed directly towards Tobirama's arms.
Tobirama frowned slightly, put one hand on her forehead, and held her in place.
"Walking and watching the road."
"As a swordsman, your lower body is so unstable?"
Tashigi flushed, stood up straight and hurriedly adjusted his glasses.
"Yeah... sorry!"
"Thank you very much for your help! I am Captain Tashigi of the Loguetown branch of the Navy!"
She raised her head and carefully looked at the benefactor in front of her through the lenses of her glasses.
Silver hair... red eyes... a cold male god...
Why does this face look so familiar?
Tashigi tilted his head, shook his hair, and suddenly exclaimed:
"Ah! I remembered it!"
Tobirama raised his eyebrows.
Recognized?
That's fine, it saves me having to introduce myself.
Unexpectedly, Tashigi took out a crumpled reward order from his pocket, gestured at Tobirama, and then said seriously:
"Sir! You look just like the big One Piece Tobirama Uchiha who has a one trillion reward!"
Tobirama: "..."
Immediately afterwards, Tashigi shook his head again, put away the reward order, and said with a confident smile:
"But how is that possible!"
"How could the legendary big Devil, the terrorist who killed the general, be able to stroll around leisurely like you?"
"And you saved me just now. That big Devil must be a murderous pervert!"
"It must be a coincidence! After all, the sea is so big and there are so many people who look alike!"
Tobirama looked at this cute female marine who was logically self-consistent and forced herself to be smart.
The corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.
This IQ...
Is it really the reincarnation or clone of Kuina?
If that stubborn girl saw that she had grown up to be so virtuous, she would probably be so angry that she would climb out of the coffin.
"You're right."
Tobirama was too lazy to explain and just followed her words.
"I'm just a passing... swordsmanship enthusiast."
"Hey? Do you also like swordsmanship?"
Tashigi's eyes lit up instantly, as if he had found a soulmate.
"Looking at your momentum just now, you must be a master!"
"Are you going to buy a knife? Loguetown I know where the best knife shop is!"
Tashigi patted his chest with a look of enthusiasm:
"In order to repay your life-saving grace, I will be your guide!"
"I know a shop called Ipponmatsu. Although the owner is stingy, he really has famous knives!"
Look at this little white rabbit who takes the initiative to lead the big bad wolf into the sheepfold.
Tobirama's eyes flashed with amusement.
Let the navy lead the way to rob?
Somewhat interesting.
"Okay."
Tobirama nodded.
"Then lead the way."
"Yes! This way please!"
Tashigi excitedly led the way, completely unaware that the person following behind her was none other than the murderous big Devil in her mouth.
