At those words, the other Marine officers around them stiffened.
A Buster Call was no small matter.
Only a handful of Marines had the authority to launch one.
Even each of the Three Admirals could only call one once.
Launching a Buster Call demanded the utmost caution.
Every time one was launched, it drew the attention of the entire world.
Of course, the most important criterion was whether the target had posed, or was about to pose, a grave threat to the World Government!
Years ago, the scholars of Ohara had uncovered the history of the Void Century, threatening the World Government's rule.
That was why Kuzan had launched a Buster Call against them.
Borsalino's expression was cold as he murmured, "That's not something we can use whenever we please."
"Strictly speaking, Pudora Kingdom isn't one of the World Government Member States. Whether it survives has nothing to do with us."
That alone meant it failed to meet the criteria for a Buster Call.
Borsalino continued, "Besides, the Chris Pirates have become far too formidable."
"And they're not alone. The Shichibukai are here too."
"Whether a Buster Call could even defeat them is another question!"
Vice Admiral Doberman, Vice Admiral Onigumo, and the others were visibly shaken.
A force even a Buster Call might fail to bring down!
It was easy to imagine just how terrifying the Chris Pirates had become.
Even Borsalino could no longer say for certain.
He shook his head slightly and said, "We'll need to discuss the Chris Pirates in detail when we return."
"How to deal with them may be a question we'll have to study for years to come!"
Borsalino was certain the Chris Pirates would grow rapidly over the next few years.
They would become the World Government's greatest threat.
