The third time is this [Scholar] advancement quest. (Continued)

"Letting a pirate with a bounty of over 1.6 billion Beli roam free, especially a lone wolf with no fixed home, is far too dangerous, isn't it?"

Sengoku finally caught on. He first glanced at Garp, then turned to Tsuru.

"Tsuru, are you suggesting we try launching another [Buster Call] against White Ghost? Like what Fleet Admiral Kong did to Red the Aloof, Redfield?"

"No!" Vice Admiral Tsuru denied it. "White Ghost isn't the Red Count. His abilities are much more troublesome. If we want to eliminate him, even the sheer scale of a Buster Call won't do anything to stop him."

Vice Admiral Tsuru explained her plan. "If possible, I'd rather have you two, Sengoku and Garp, head to West Blue alone and secretly watch for an opportunity."

For reasons known only to himself, Garp actually said, "Isn't that... giving White Ghost's strength a little too much credit?"

"Garp, you haven't fought White Ghost. You really can't understand how difficult that brat is to deal with."

Sengoku calmly stood up and gathered the reports in his hands.

"I'll go see Fleet Admiral Kong right away."

A modest goal

Fish-Man Island.

Mermaid ladies and enchanting scenery.

Among all those charming, lovely mermaid ladies, Adrian personally wasn't too fond of the octopus mermaids who had yet to develop legs.

Their soft, slippery skin, which needed no lubrication, certainly deserved favorable reviews.

But the tentacles wrapped around him were numerous and heavy, somehow leaving him feeling trussed up and rather passive...

Besides, they didn't have quite the right control over the suction of their suckers, alternating unpredictably between hard and gentle, fast and slow.

Still, the novelty was undeniable...

If he absolutely had to give them a score, Adrian would probably only rate these octopus girls from the ocean depths a six.
