After leaving the Red Line, Sengoku did not immediately return to the Marine Headquarters, but instead sailed around on a warship.
He guaranteed to take down Whitebeard Jr.. with the position of Fleet Admiral, but in the end, Whitebeard Jr. left in disgrace.
This outcome was unacceptable to him.
"Since I'm leaving in a month anyway, and who knows what difficult tasks the Five Elders will assign me during this month, why not just indulge myself a bit?"
The Sengoku period was marked by several fluctuations in their emotions.
How could he face the navy who trusted him if he went back with this result?
Anyway, he won't be Fleet Admiral in a month, so what's wrong with indulging a little?
"Notify the navigator to proceed to Whitebeard Jr..'s territory!"
Sengoku gave the order to his soldiers.
If the Five Elders can't punish Whitebeard Jr.., then he'll do it himself.
He had to give the navy an explanation, no matter what.
"Yes, Fleet Admiral!"
Following Sengoku's order, the entire warship changed course and headed towards Whitebeard Jr..'s location.
Before long, the warships located Whitebeard Jr..
"Mom, there's a Marine warship over there."
Edward Weevil pointed at the Sengoku warships and said blankly.
"Um?"
Miss Bakkin also saw it and was somewhat puzzled.
What are the navy doing loitering around here at this time? Are they planning to attack them?
She knew that the Navy was quite unhappy about Weevil joining the Shichibukai.
If the Navy were to actively seek trouble with them, and they were to eliminate those Navy personnel, the World Government would likely be unable to say anything.
"Weevil, bring the ship closer and take them down!"
"Tell the Navy that you are the invincible Whitebeard Jr..!"
"Miss! "Miss Bakkin shouted in a sharp voice.
She wanted to teach the navy a lesson and make them more obedient.
"Yes, Mom!"
Weevil grinned bloodthirstyly, becoming excited.
He was brainless; he only obeyed Miss Bakkin's orders, tearing apart any enemies who stood in his way.
Weevil rowed his small boat and quickly approached the Sengoku warship.
First, he launched a slash at the warship, then, carrying Miss. Miss Bakkin, he jumped aboard.
As soon as they boarded the ship, the two saw Sengoku crush the slashing weapon in his hand and reveal a terrifying smile to them.
Not only did the enemy refuse to surrender, but they also dared to fight back?
The soldiers on the warship were stunned. They never expected that Whitebeard Jr.. would be so fierce as to dare to attack them first.
Didn't they know that the person on board was Fleet Admiral?
How dare you!
"Mom, should we kill him too?"
Weevil swallowed hard and asked blankly.
This guy looks like Fleet Admiral; he probably can't take him down.
"Shut up, you idiot!" Miss Bakkin quickly covered Weevil's mouth and said with a forced smile to Sengoku, "Fleet Admiral Sengoku, this is all a misunderstanding."
"My son is Shichibukai. You wouldn't let him lay a hand on me, would you?"
Given Weevil's status Shichibukai, it's likely that Sengoku will let them off the hook.
"Misunderstanding? His status Shichibukai? None of that matters anymore." Sengoku dusted off his hands, revealing a terrifying smile, "I'll stake my entire naval career on this, and I'll destroy him!"
As he spoke, Sengoku transformed into a golden Buddha thirty meters tall.
"Wait, wait, you are the Buddha Sengoku, you shouldn't be so irritable!"
"Weevil is Shichibukai. If he attacks us, the World Government will punish the entire Navy!"
Miss. Miss Bakkin emitted a sharp, explosive sound, attempting to awaken the Sengoku's reason.
"Buddha? Buddha has fire too!"
"Now that things have come to this, I have no time to worry about the consequences!"
Sengoku thought of Zephyr and his many comrades and subordinates who had left, and of his own removal from the position of Fleet Admiral.
When anger reaches its peak, one's heart is a raging inferno.
"The Buddha Impact!"
A golden Impact emanated from his palm.
A palm the size of a house pressed down on the two of them with the force of a mountain crashing down.
Its force was immense and unavoidable.
Weevil raised the naginata high above his head, using all his strength to defend himself.
However, the gap between the Shichibukai and the Fleet Admiral is simply too vast.
He could only bully the old and frail Zephyr, but he was completely powerless against Sengoku, who was in good condition and enraged.
Boom!
With a loud crash, Weevil's naginata was snapped in two.
He was struck dumb, and collapsed to his knees.
"Mommy, Mommy, it hurts so much!"
Weevil writhed on the ground in agony, repeatedly calling out "Miss. Miss Bakkin."
Despite his intellectual disability, he always regarded Miss Bakkin's words as his guiding principle.
Faced with this critical situation, he didn't even consider running away; he wanted to wait for Miss Bakkin to take command.
However, with a single blow from the Sengoku, Miss Bakkin was beyond dead.
Looking at the lifeless Miss Bakkin, Weevil burst into tears, sobbing uncontrollably.
Sengoku, seeing the appalling Weevil, grew even angrier. "Just for something like this, you've made such a mess of the navy?!"
A cowardly, intellectually disabled, and vicious pirate who has committed numerous crimes.
The navy suffered heavy losses, causing morale to plummet!
The more Sengoku looked at Weevil, the angrier Sengoku became.
"It's all your fault! Zephyr left the Navy, and I lost an old brother!"
A golden Buddha's palm struck down.
Weevil's body convulsed, and he coughed up large amounts of blood.
"It's all your fault! With the senior officers and soldiers becoming disloyal, the navy is on the verge of collapse!"
A golden Buddha's palm struck down.
Weevil's limbs were twisted and all his bones were broken.
"It's all your fault! I lost my Fleet Admiral's position, and all my years of hard work have been ruined!"
A golden Buddha's palm struck down.
Weevil was barely breathing, on the verge of death.
He was utterly powerless against the Sengoku period.
The so-called Whitebeard Jr.. was ultimately not Whitebeard.
Even Whitebeard, facing Sengoku like him, would probably die a horrible death.
After countless slaps, until Weevil was reduced to Weevil, Sengoku finally stopped.
The naval soldiers on the warship were extremely pleased to see this scene; that disgusting bastard Whitebeard Jr.. should have died long ago.
"Phew~"
Sengoku breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling much more at ease.
Killing Weevil wasn't just about him getting revenge; it also helped stabilize morale within the Navy and prevent it from falling apart.
This can be seen as removing an obstacle for him to become a future Fleet Admiral.
As for the consequences of killing Weevil, he, who was about to leave the company, didn't care at all.
He only regretted not acting sooner, otherwise those old comrades might not have left.
"Let's go back to the Navy!"
Sengoku washed the blood off his hands and addressed the soldiers on the warship.
"Yes, Fleet Admiral Sengoku!"
The soldiers responded in unison, their respect for the Sengoku reaching its peak.
Having such a capable Fleet Admiral is a blessing for them.
What they didn't know was Sengoku, at most a month later, he would no longer be Fleet Admiral.
Two hours later, Sengoku's warship returned to the Marine Headquarters carrying Weevil's body.
Sengoku spread the news of Whitebeard Jr..'s death throughout the entire navy, but concealed the fact that he was going to retire in a month.
