Has Admiral Bai Yu incident?

The huge council hall fell into a deathly silence.

Everyone's nerves were immediately on edge.

Just moments before, they were discussing how the G-15 Branch would be captured and destroyed because of Bai Yu.

Now, suddenly, a claim has emerged that could cause a major upheaval.

This vague report leaves one feeling utterly perplexed.

" Fleet Admiral Sengoku, it seems something went wrong at the G-15 Branch, otherwise Rear Admiral Os wouldn't be so nervous!"

The crane was the first to regain its senses.

Akainu snorted coldly from the side.

"Could that guy have gone mad and teamed up with Jack the Drought to destroy the G-15 Branch?!"

"This kind of behavior, which is more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything, is also part of his style."

"If Kizaru had arrived earlier and driven Jack the Drought away, this mess wouldn't have happened."

The generals present all fell silent.

If what Akainu said is true...

As Admiral, Bai Yu indeed cannot escape this responsibility.

"Alright, now's not the time to argue about this. Sengoku, why don't you answer the phone and see what Rear Admiral Os has to say?"

He quickly spoke up to smooth things over.

Akainu also wisely kept quiet.

The target of our confrontation is Fleet Admiral; it wouldn't be good if things escalated to a complete breakdown.

"Don't worry, if anything goes wrong, I'll take responsibility. After all, it was my decision."

Sengoku's expression darkened slightly as he reached out and answered the Den Den Mushi.

Everyone's attention was immediately drawn to it.

They were eager to know the outcome of this battle.

Has Bai Yu, the newly appointed Fourth Admiral of the Navy, suffered a loss and disgraced the Marine Headquarters?

" Rear Admiral Os, this is Fleet Admiral Sengoku. What's the emergency? Please tell me. Is it that guy Bai Yu who fought with Jack and destroyed the G-15 Branch?"

"Has Jack the Drought been banished yet?!"

A barrage of questions quickly added to the already tense atmosphere.

As the Den Den Mushi's appearance changed, everyone's nerves were stretched to the limit.

Even Akainu became somewhat interested.

"War, Fleet Admiral Sengoku, something terrible has happened..."

"No, it's not just bad, it's that Admiral Bai Yu has really messed things up. Ten minutes ago, Jack the Drought attacked the G-15 Branch."

" Vice Admiral Chaton was repelled in one move. If Admiral Bai Yu hadn't arrived in time, the G-15 Branch would probably have been destroyed!"

Timely intervention?

Many people were taken aback by this report.

Isn't it a good thing that they came to the rescue in time?

What does this have to do with "piercing the sky"?

However, upon receiving this reply, Sengoku secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

At least, this is a good thing!

However, this idea had only just begun to sprout in my mind.

The report that followed struck like an invisible hammer blow.

"However, during the battle, Admiral Bai Yu killed Jack the Drought, one of the All-Stars of the Beasts Pirates, with a bounty of one billion Beli!"

" Jack's body is still at the G-15 Branch. We request that Fleet Admiral Sengoku make a decision and arrangements as soon as possible."

Bang!

The teacup in Sengoku's hand shattered with a snap.

The tea splashed onto them without them even noticing.

Most of the naval officers present felt a strange sense of suffocation.

His face was filled with disbelief.

At this moment, they finally understood why Rear Admiral Os said that Bai Yu had caused a major upheaval.

The Four Emperors have long held sway over the seas.

Jack the Drought, a long-established top-tier fighter.

It has always been a tricky situation.

Although, there are people on this vast ocean who could kill it.

However, once the killing is carried out, there are simply too many things that will be involved behind the scenes.

In the original story, after Doflamingo was defeated, Sengoku and many other top fighters were responsible for escorting him.

Later, they encountered the fearless Jack and launched a frenzied attack.

At that time, the escorting fleet included the current Admiral Fujitora Issho.

Former Fleet Admiral Sengoku, Garp the Hero, and Chief of Staff Tsuru.

It can be said that this lineup is enough to support half of the Marine Headquarters' highest combat power.

Killing a mere Jack the Drought would be a piece of cake.

However, in the end, Jack the Drought was also sunk into the sea, but he managed to survive.

This result is not due to Jack the Drought's exceptional strength.

The reason is entirely because the Marine Headquarters does not want to break ties with the Four Emperors again after the battle with the Whitebeard Pirates.

It's fair to say that they absolutely do not want to go to war with the Four Emperors unless absolutely necessary.

However, Bai Yu has now directly killed Jack the Drought.

Moreover, he accomplished it all by himself.

Such power, and such insane behavior—I hadn't heard it with my own ears.

I doubt anyone would believe this is true.

For a moment, the vast council hall fell into an absolute silence.

Even during the Warring Sengoku, it took them a long time to react.

Not to mention, Akainu, who had just spoken dismissively, now had a face that had turned a deep, purplish-red.

Just a moment ago, they were questioning Bai Yu's ability to expel Jack the Drought.

Now Os tells him that Jack the Drought has already kicked the bucket.

What's the point of even talking about that?

My face is burning with embarrassment.

" Sengoku, this is not the time to stand around idly. Let's quickly think of a solution."

The crane spoke again.

The naval commanders snapped out of their daze and looked at Sengoku with eager expressions.

Jack the Drought, with a bounty of one billion Beli, is Kaido of the Beasts.

He was now killed by Bai Yu.

However, this means that the Marine Headquarters and the Beasts Pirates will completely break off relations.

If this matter cannot be handled properly...

Then, what awaits the Marine Headquarters is likely a full-scale war.

Sengoku snapped out of his daze, crushing the broken teacup in his hand into powder, and stared intently at the Den Den Mushi.

"Inform Bai Yu and tell him to return to Marine Headquarters immediately."

"At the same time, retrieve Jack the Drought's body, and withdraw the entire army from the G-15 Branch, breaking into smaller units for relocation. Remember, temporarily conceal your naval identities and completely blend into the civilian population."

"Only in this way can we escape the maddened Kaido of the Beasts and minimize our losses."

"At the same time, our Marine Headquarters will also dispatch a large force to take over from you. We must complete the great evacuation before Kaido arrives."

A series of orders fell from Sengoku's mouth.

Faced with such a well-organized order, many naval officers present showed expressions of admiration.

To be able to come up with this solution in just one or two minutes minimizes the crisis.

This is enough to show that the title of "wise general" in the Sengoku was not actually a sign of intellectual disability.

Even He, as the Chief of Staff, silently nodded in agreement.
