The moment Mu Chen finished speaking, everyone in the office lost their composure.
"Mu Chen, what did you say?"
"Mu Chen, wait. You're the third person?"
"Oh, how terrifying!"
What Mu Chen had told them was completely unexpected. Still, it made sense when they thought about it. Mu Chen possessed Conqueror's Haki too. If all three of them had been pirates, that would have been frightening indeed. After all, very few Marines could use Conqueror's Haki. "Mu Chen, I never thought you'd become strong enough to fight Bullet to a draw."
Zefa looked delighted. Mu Chen was his student, and he could even hold his own against that demon's descendant. His growth had been astonishingly fast. Zefa had every reason to feel proud.

"That's still impressive! You were fighting two at once—Bullet and the Sand Crocodile. The fact that you came back safely shows how strong you've become!"
Garp had plainly misunderstood, leaving Mu Chen speechless. "Garp, you've got it wrong. I won!"
That revelation stunned everyone. "Wait, what?"

Now Mu Chen claimed he had beaten Bullet and the Sand Crocodile together. Sakazuki knew how strong Bullet was; he had fought him while pursuing him before. Even one-on-one, he could not get the better of Bullet, which
