Enel took out his Den Den Mushi and glanced at it.
"Oh, Sote."
He answered the Den Den Mushi and spoke casually.
"What is it, Sote?"
"Materials?"
"What materials?"
"Oh, I see."
"Okay, leave them at Headquarters for now."
"I'll stop by later."
Enel stretched.
"What a pain."
At the thought of having to return the warship, Enel felt like giving up on life.
Watching the robots still busy hauling treasure, he scratched his head and told the giant robot,
"Just take this warship with you."
The giant robot tilted its head in confusion.
Enel waved a hand.
"I'm heading out."
Crackle-
A bolt of lightning instantly tore across the sky.
He left the stunned giant robot and a crowd of little robots behind...
Marine Headquarters, Marineford.
Inside the headmaster's office at the Navy Academy.
Morris stood by the window with a smile, watching the graduating cadets train.
"Good, good."
"The whole academy's gotten fired up."
"I think we could do this every year."
The cadets Zephyr had frightened genuinely believed they might not graduate, and all of them were training like mad...
Seeing even their graduating seniors working so hard, the younger cadets hardly dared to rest...
Zephyr sat on the sofa, reading through some documents as he spoke.
"Exactly."
"We should have someone pose as a powerful enemy and launch a surprise attack."
"Having everything go too smoothly won't help them grow."
"This incident exposed some serious problems."
Morris turned around.
"Then it's settled."
"What are you reading? You've been going over those few pages forever."
Seeing Zephyr's grave expression, Morris grew curious.
Zephyr set down the documents with a deep frown.
"That was far too close."
"If Sote hadn't come along this time..."
"I probably wouldn't have made it back either."
"We need better safety measures."
