The Grand Line, Paradise.
Marineford, Marine Headquarters.
Even Kong, who was in a semi-retired state, was startled by the news coming back from the South Blue.
Inside the Fleet Admiral's Office.
Apart from Kong, other high-ranking naval officers at headquarters also gathered together, a rare occurrence.
This includes Navy Instructor Black Arm Zephyr, Navy Hero Iron Fist Garp, Chief of Staff Tsuru, Vice Admiral Momonga, Vice Admiral Gion, and others.
Meanwhile, Sakazuki is in the North Blue, Sengoku is stationed at the G-1 Base in the New World, Tokikake is sweeping away pirates in the West Blue.
As the chief of staff, Tsuru also oversaw the work of the Marine Intelligence Division, so she was responsible for giving a comprehensive report on this matter, "... According to Kuzan's report, there are currently six confirmed enemies."
Colonel Brannew, who was under the command of the intelligence department, immediately projected the image onto a screen on the side.
"The young man, suspected to be the leader, Devil Fruit User, possesses Three Types of Haki, and is also skilled in physical combat and swordsmanship. His Devil Fruit ability is exceptionally powerful."
The screen displayed photos of Noah in disguise, along with numerous photos of his moves.
The Momonga was very surprised. "Wasn't the previous user of the Steel-Steel Fruit killed by Sakazuki a few years ago? This guy only got the fruit in the last few years, right? How come he can develop it to this extent..."
The high-ranking naval officers present couldn't help but marvel at the depth of Noah's mastery of the Steel-Steel Fruit, which had reached a new peak for all previous Steel Devil Fruit User, upon seeing the introduction of Noah's abilities.
High heat, mirror surface, magnetic field, electric current, and iron sand control—one fruit can be used as several.
"The second target is a blonde girl, estimated to be under 18 years old. She is a Logia-type Devil Fruit User with the Logia- Flame Fruit ability, possessing both Armament Haki and Observation Haki. Her physical and sword skills have not yet been demonstrated, but her ability development is also extremely powerful. She killed Commodore Mad Bull."
On the screen appeared Lilian wearing a half-mask, along with her blue the Sun form.
" The Flame-Flame Fruit?" Garp looked closely at the curtain. The Devil Fruit User was someone he had punched into the sea, but he seemed to be seeing the Flame-Flame Fruit for the first time.
"Is the flame of the Flame-Flame Fruit blue?" Zephyr tried hard to recall the information in the Navy's confidential archives and found that the flames of all previous Flame- Devil Fruit User were orange-red. This was the first time he had seen such a blue flame.
The Momonga voiced his guess. "Could it be that its Devil Fruit power Awakening?"
" Awakening? It's certainly possible." Zephyr could only temporarily attribute this situation to the Awakening of a Devil Fruit ability.
Then Tsuru continued, "The third target Galdino, the South Blue bounty hunter, who is also the only confirmed target so far. Devil Fruit User, possesses Observation Haki, but his Armament Haki is not yet manifested. His fruit ability is also very powerful."
On the screen, a photo of Galdino and some descriptions of his moves appeared.
"The fourth target is a young, dark-haired man, Logia Rumble-Rumble Fruit Devil Fruit User. He exchanged blows with Borsalino, Borsalino described him as having the power to destroy an entire island."
On the screen, Joshua wearing a cat mask appeared, along with photos of Heavenly Thunder Kirin and Heavenly Shine colliding.
"Another Logia? And such a powerful Logia at that." Gion's beautiful eyes held a hint of apprehension.
"The fifth target is a young, bespectacled man disguised as a merchant ship manager. He doesn't exhibit any Devil Fruit abilities, but he's proficient in Armament Haki and Observation Haki, and can use a silent martial art. His weapon is a pair of claw blades."
The curtain then transformed into a photograph of Kuro, also in disguise.
"The sixth target, a green-haired young man who didn't have much of a presence, was suspected to Devil Fruit User. He was the one who helped the other targets retreat."
The photo on the screen changed to Ray wearing a black mask.
Kong rubbed his temples. "Crane, what do you think we should do with this force?"
Tsuru was not moved by the two Logia and several powerful Paramecia users. After all, she had witnessed the power of the three Yonko crews in the New World, as well as the Rocks Pirates and the Roger Pirates.
She put down the documents in her hand. " Fleet Admiral Kong, judging from the behavior of this group, I don't think they are the kind of pirates who are after treasure, but that's precisely why I think they pose a greater threat."
"Hmm." Kong nodded.
In Kong's eyes, those pirates who burned, killed, and looted on the high seas were nothing more than a nuisance, posing no threat to the World Government whatsoever.
Tsuru continued her analysis, "Judging from the strength they've displayed, this group couldn't possibly be an organization that grew from the Four Seas, but rather a secret organization that developed from the Grand Line. Their purpose is the area we need to focus on next."
"Could it be that Revolutionary Army?" the Momonga whispered.
The atmosphere in the office immediately became incredibly awkward.
He knew the reason for the awkward situation, but she knew there was no need to expose it, so she continued her analysis, "It's unlikely that this group is part of the Revolutionary Army, because people with Conqueror's Haki don't easily submit to others. I don't think Dragon has the strength to subdue this group."
"Hahaha, indeed, that unfilial son's strength is no match for this group." Garp laughed, then picked up a bag of senbei and started eating.
Tsuru and Sora didn't say anything, but Zephyr frowned, though he also remained silent. It was difficult for anyone present to comment on the matter of the dragon.
"I propose that these individuals be placed on the arrest warrant as a terrorist organization."
After thinking about He's suggestion for a while, Kong nodded and said, "Let's do it that way!"
Tsuru continued, "Besides issuing a warrant for their arrest, we should strengthen our intelligence investigation into this organization. We can't let things turn out like this again. If Borsalino hadn't arrived in time, Kuzan and the others would certainly be in grave danger."
"I will discuss this with the Five Elders and ask CP to cooperate with our investigation of this organization." Sora took on the task of communicating with the Five Elders.
"Furthermore, as the most mobile unit, Borsalino cannot continue to be stationed alone in the Sabaody Archipelago. A Vice Admiral must be sent to replace him in the Sabaody Archipelago so that we can send Borsalino to support others at any time."
Sora nodded. "Yes, Borsalino should indeed be the core of the general reserve team to avoid situations where there isn't enough time to provide support."
The Marine Headquarters quickly concluded its discussion regarding Noah and his crew.
The relevant arrest warrants were also rushed out by the Marine Headquarters.
Early the next morning, more than a dozen news agencies under the World Government, as well as the well-informed World Economy News Paper, reported the arrest warrant and the modified details of the incident.
The whole world was immediately in an uproar.
Crane was not so kind as to help Noah and his gang gain fame; rather, he was deliberately trying to flatter them to their detriment.
The text describes Noah's crew as being as powerful as the Sea Emperors of the New World, as if they could immediately become the fourth Sea Emperor if Noah were willing to enter the New World.
This is clearly a deliberate attempt to sow discord, drawing the attention of the great pirates of the New World to Noah's crew, hoping to use this opportunity to expose more detailed information about Noah's crew during their battles with other great pirates.
And Morgans, that scoundrel, went even further, putting a sensational headline on the news headlines.
