Making a Name for Myself

Inside and outside the building, the navy personnel who heard Sengoku's roar all wore calm expressions.

In the entire Marine Headquarters, only Garp could make Fleet Admiral Sengoku roar in anger.

It happens once or twice every month.

They're used to it.

Garp looked at the furious Sengoku.

He casually picked at his ear with his little finger, then burst out laughing.

"Ha ha ha ha!!"

He chuckled, quickly took back the Senbei he had offered, ate it in one bite, and then reached out to pat Sengoku on the shoulder.

"Sengoku, don't be so stingy! It's just a bag of Senbei. I'll pay you back next time."

"Um..."

The Sengoku thought for a moment, then flew into a rage.

"You stole my Senbei again!"

"Ah..."

With that, he roared and lunged at Garp, snatching the bag of Senbei from Garp's arms.

He tilted his head back and poured all the Senbei from the bag into his mouth.

"My Senbei, give them back..."

Garp snatched the empty Senbei bag from Sengoku's hands, completely dumbfounded.

He pursed his lips at the Sengoku.

"Do you have to be so stingy!"

"Alright, how long are you two going to keep this up?"

Just then, Staff Officer Tsuru, who was sitting opposite Garp, couldn't stand it anymore.

He watched Sengoku and Garp acting like two children, fooling around on such an important occasion, and couldn't help but call them to stop.

Sengoku glanced at Garp with a smug look in his eyes.

"These are clearly my Senbei, but you claim them as yours. Next time, you'll even steal your donuts!"

He sat up straight, straightened his clothes, glanced at the generals in the conference room, and seeing their serious expressions, nodded in satisfaction, regaining his Fleet Admiral's authority.

"Brubrub!"

"Brubrub!"

Just then, Sengoku's Den Den Den Mushi rang.

Sengoku's expression hardened, and he quickly reached out and picked up the receiver from the Den Den Mushi.

"This is Marine Headquarters Sengoku, Sengoku. Who is that opposite me? Please respond."

When Sengoku picked up the microphone to speak, the Den Den Mushi's head suddenly transformed into a head resembling that of Kizaru.

The Den Den Mushi spoke in a lewd tone, "Yo! It's Fleet Admiral! This is Borsalino."

Everyone in the conference room turned serious upon hearing Kizaru's voice.

Whether they hear that Golden Lion is dead or alive, it's a big problem for the Navy.

His death proves that the Silver Hair -haired Kuta's strength has reached the top level in the world.

If he hadn't died, Golden Lion might have caused the Navy even greater trouble.

Chapter 58 Complete Fame

A glint of light flashed in Sengoku's eyes, his face grave. He stared at the Den Den Mushi and said, "Alright, Admiral Borsalino, report your intelligence!"

"OK."

Kizaru paused for a moment, then said in an unusually serious tone, "It is now confirmed that Golden Lion is dead."

"Kuta, through our brief exchange, learned that this guy must have eaten a space-time Devil Fruit, allowing Devil Fruit to Teleportation and fly. That's all I know for now."

Then Kizaru tilted his chin up and uttered his famous line.

"How terrifying!"

"Fleet Admiral Sengoku, if there's nothing else, I'll request to return."

"Yes! You've done a good job, Admiral Borsalino."

As he spoke, Sengoku hung up the phone, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

Even though he was prepared, he was still somewhat taken aback when he actually heard the news of Golden Lion's death.

"Seventeen years old, world-class, and Pirates —this Silver Hair guy might be even more dangerous than Shiki the Golden Lion!"

This reminded him of someone who was also incredibly powerful at the age of seventeen.

Douglas Bullet, a former member of the Roger Pirates, known as the "Devil's Heir."

"Ha ha ha ha!!"

Just then, Garp burst into laughter and said, "That's truly remarkable! He actually killed Golden Lion. No wonder he's a man from the East Blue!"

"Ha ha ha ha..."

As he spoke, he gave a thumbs-up to the Wanted Poster Kuta on the blackboard behind Sengoku.

To be honest, he didn't dislike Kuta. After all, judging from Kuta's current actions, he didn't seem to have any intention of posing a threat to the Navy.

If we're talking about threats, then it's the World Government.

The threat from the World Government has nothing to do with his navy.

Isn't that right?

"Garp."

Sengoku scolded Garp, who was laughing through his tears.

He then looked up and scanned the room, his gaze finally settling on the crane.

"Crane, now that we've confirmed Golden Lion's death, let's discuss the latest bounty from your General Staff, taking into account the Silver Hair's threat level!"

The bounty on Pirates like Kuta is no longer something that can be set by a simple individual.

It requires not only discussion by the Navy's General Staff but also reporting to the World Government, with the World Government ultimately making the final decision.

Crane's body was hunched over, his hands supporting his chin, and a glint of shrewdness flashed in his dim eyes.

She calmly began, "Based on the preliminary estimates and discussions made by the General Staff, we can provide silver..."

"Send it to the Kuta..."

She paused for a moment, then continued, "A 500 million bounty."

"500 million?"

"That's really scary!"

"If I remember correctly, the Silver Hair had a 70 million bounty on his head just a few days ago!"

"This is truly unprecedented!"

Although everyone in the conference room knew that the bounty for Silver Hair - Kuta wouldn't be low, they were still astonished when they heard it was 500 million.

Silver Hair - Kuta is arguably the Pirates bounty has increased the fastest.

In just a few days, the figure increased from 70 million to 500 million.

Now it's certain that the name of Silver Hair - Kuta will resound throughout the world in the shortest possible time!

"Thump!"

Sengoku slammed his fist into the ground in front of him, drawing everyone's attention.

He looked at everyone and said, "Given Silver Hair - Kuta's strength, no one can stop him in the first half of the Grand Line."

He glanced around, then uttered a cruel statement.

"That includes our navy, of course."

"The Sengoku..."

Crane looked at Sengoku and couldn't help but speak.

Sengoku interrupted Tsuru, then said seriously, "It's not that the Navy is incapable of arresting the Silver Hair Crew."

"Given that Silver Hair - Kuta can fly, we don't have enough troops to arrest him right now."

"To arrest him, we would need at least two Admiral or higher to have a chance of success."

"The situation in the New World is a bit delicate right now, and we can't possibly use two Admiral- level fighters to hunt down the Silver Hair Crew."

He adjusted his glasses, a glint of intelligence in his eyes, and continued speaking.

"So, our current priority is to find a way to get the Silver Hair to the New World soon as possible so he can fight the monsters there!"

As he spoke, he seemed to remember something and asked Crane, "By the way, Crane, is Silver Hair in Loguetown right now?"

"Um!"

"Quickly call Captain Smoker in Loguetown and tell him not to act impulsively. He can turn a blind eye and let the Silver Hair Crew head to the Grand Line as soon as possible."

This guy is a notorious troublemaker in the Navy. Otherwise, a Logia Devil Fruit User, and a student of Zephyr, wouldn't have been sent to the East Blue to guard Loguetown.

He didn't want this guy to make a pointless sacrifice; the Silver Hair was no longer someone an ordinary naval admiral could handle.

He then stood up and waited for everyone to stand before saying, "Alright, that concludes today's meeting. After you all return, discuss this with your predecessors..."

"Inform all the branch commanders in the middle section that if they encounter the Silver Hair Crew, they can let them pass. This is an order from headquarters."

"Yes."

Everyone saluted the Sengoku period in unison.

Sengoku glanced at everyone, then shouted, "In the name of Absolute Justice, I declare the meeting adjourned."

Then he left the meeting room first.

He also needs to go to Mary Geoise and report the results of today's meeting to the Five Elders so that the new Wanted Poster Silver Hair -haired Kuta can be issued as soon as possible.

In less than two hours, Kuta's new Wanted Poster appeared at the Marine Base in Loguetown, and then at the entire Marine Base.

Finally, there's the World Economy News Paper.

Headquarters of World Economy News Paper.

President's Office.

The portly Big News Morgans, wearing a black cloak and a top hat adorned with a red and white feather, was staring excitedly at a Wanted Poster on the desk in front of him.

This guy is a user of the "Bird-Bird Fruit - Albatross Form". Because he has always maintained his beast-man form, no one knows what he really looks like.

This guy is most interested in Big News Morgans.

The Wanted Poster in front of him, and the photos his men secretly took, are now unprecedented Big News Morgans for the entire world.

"That's truly remarkable! He actually killed the Golden Lion."

He stared at the several secretly taken photos next to the Wanted Poster, showing the battle between the floating Sky Island, the Golden Lion, and the Kuta, his whole body trembling with excitement.

"And this guy's bounty is terrifying; the second bounty is already 500 million."

Even though he knew that Kuta truly deserved the title, he was still amazed.

He had never seen such a rate of increase before.

He's already decided on the headline for this Big News Morgans:

"The Pirates with the biggest and fastest bounty increase in history, who killed the legendary Golden Lion and thus ascended to the top of the new generation of legendary Pirates, 'Silver Hair - Kuta'."

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but burst into laughter, "Hahahaha..."

He then grabbed the photos and the Wanted Poster, walked out of the Office, and shouted at the Newspaper Office staff waiting outside.
