Meanwhile, at Marine Headquarters.
Dozens of people gathered in the large council hall.
However, the number of people here has decreased by a third compared to two days ago.
As for the naval officers who had landed here, many of them looked exhausted.
Looking at the stacks of intelligence reports on the table, many people couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Reporting to Fleet Admiral Sengoku, Commodore Olay reports that Admiral Bai Yu has not been found in the first half of the Grand Line, within the Sly Sea. This intelligence regarding his whereabouts is false."
A messenger rushed in and reported urgently.
Is it fake?
Sengoku looked at the map file in his hand and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
I couldn't help but rub my throbbing temples.
"Where has that damned brat been these past two days? Has no one encountered his warship?"
"Both Yamakaji and Gion haven't contacted me for so long; they don't even have the slightest bit of the demeanor of Vice Admiral."
Ever since Bai Yu killed Jack the Drought, the news spread throughout the sea.
The entire Marine Headquarters was in a frenzy of activity, like gears, to provide support for Bai Yu.
Unfortunately, Bai Yu seems to have disappeared without a trace these past two days.
In order to confirm the ever-increasing number of clues about Bai Yu's whereabouts.
During the Sengoku, the entire Marine Headquarters was mobilized.
He even dispatched one-third of the generals from his headquarters to other posts.
Everything was done to give Bai Yu a cover on the high seas.
They planned to use a deceptive tactic to buy Bai Yu time.
Unfortunately, as time went on, even the strategists of the Warring Sengoku couldn't contain themselves any longer.
Whether it's the pressure from the Five Elders or Kaido of the Beasts.
All of this made the Sengoku period uneasy.
" Fleet Admiral Sengoku, is there still no news of that brat? Do you need the help of our CP0 intelligence network?"
A CP0 member dressed in a black robe and wearing Monkey mask suddenly spoke.
Everyone's attention was immediately drawn to it.
Upon seeing this uninvited guest, they all frowned.
As fellow members of the Navy, they were all aware of everything that happened inside Impel Down Great Prison.
They all knew a little bit about it.
Many people may not be able to compliment Bai Yu's astonishingly extraordinary behavior.
However, the thought that the Five Elders were giving Bai Yu a show of force to control him came to mind.
The things that CP0 and others did.
This undoubtedly made the naval officers present feel uneasy.
If it weren't for the need to avoid a complete falling out.
They've probably already driven CP0 out by now.
"Hehe, it seems like everyone doesn't really like me."
CP0 let out a strange laugh.
"However, I don't care about any of that."
"This time, my presence at Marine Headquarters is solely to assist you in finding the whereabouts of the Fourth Admiral."
"Don't forget, his mission to invite the Shichibukai wasn't completed yet. Now that Fire Fist Ace has joined the Whitebeard Pirates, this mission has failed."
"Next, we should continue to invite the remaining targets and properly make up for the gap caused by our unauthorized attack on Crocodile."
"However, don't worry, if he encounters danger, that kid will definitely remember and ask you for help."
The somber, hushed conversation echoed in the vast council hall, lingering for a long time.
The faces of the naval officers were slightly grim.
Even Akainu, who was standing to the side, was no exception.
However, under normal circumstances, he would never miss the opportunity to retort to such sarcastic remarks.
However, as time went by, Akainu couldn't help but have a strange thought creeping into his mind.
This complete disappearance is so out of character for Bai Yu.
For this very reason, Akainu has become unusually quiet these past two days.
The silence was so profound that even the Sengoku was somewhat surprised.
"Gurgle gurgle, Fleet Admiral Sengoku, this is Gion."
The Den Den Mushi on the table suddenly rang, breaking the deathly silence in the room.
All eyes in the room turned and focused on the Den Den Mushi.
Sengoku and Akainu were no exception.
"Heh, looks like what I said came true." CP0 chuckled strangely.
" Fleet Admiral Sengoku, you really have to thank me. If it weren't for my arrival, you wouldn't have had this good news."
"No, Fleet Admiral Sengoku, I advise you to prepare yourself; this might be a distress call."
During this time, CP0 was also searching for Bai Yu's whereabouts.
Unfortunately, Bai Yu did not reach the shore in the past two days, and the pirate ships he encountered were all sunk and wiped out.
Some merchant ships and naval vessels were also bypassed in advance.
In a situation where not even people can be seen.
Not to mention the Marine Headquarters, even the World Government cannot accurately track Bai Yu's whereabouts.
Otherwise, CP0 wouldn't have come forward with the Marine Headquarters' probing.
Now that he's unexpectedly run into trouble and has been contacted by Gion, he's undoubtedly energized.
"CP0, you'd better shut up. Don't forget, this is Marine Headquarters. If Garp were here, you'd be in big trouble."
Sengoku's expression darkened slightly. After glancing at it, he quickly picked up the Den Den Mushi.
you!
CP0 was speechless with anger, and after letting out a cold snort, he said...
"Good, very good, Fleet Admiral Sengoku. I hope your Marine Headquarters can provide timely assistance in the next distress call. If you have to ask our World Government for help, it would be a slap in the face."
As the direct subordinates of the Five Elders, CP0 has always been a loner, doing things his own way.
When have I ever been publicly criticized like this?
Right now, even the Fleet Admiral is looking down on him, which undoubtedly makes CP0 very resentful.
"Hmph, don't worry, this is a matter for our Marine Headquarters, you don't need to concern yourselves with it."
Sengoku glanced at it coldly, then looked back at the Den Den Mushi in his hand, exhaled a deep breath, and pressed the connect button.
" Gion, this is Sengoku. Are you here to request backup? Give me the coordinates quickly, and I'll send someone to meet you immediately."
Bai Yu's ability to cause trouble certainly exceeded Sengoku's expectations.
However, as a new generation, Bai Yu's strength is evident to all.
Most importantly, looking at the entire Marine Headquarters, the Three Admirals are indeed outstanding in strength and are hailed as having the highest combat power.
Unfortunately, they have one fatal weakness.
He lacks the bearing of a king and the innate Conqueror's Haki.
This resulted in the Three Admirals ' strength being unable to reach the ceiling of combat power in this world.
Compared to those overlord-level powerhouses, there is still a slight gap.
Sengoku no Uchiha (the Sengoku ) did indeed possess Conqueror's Haki.
However, he knew clearly that his age was a factor.
Once he steps down, the loss of a successor with the qualities of a king will create a gap in the strength of the Marine Headquarters.
Bai Yu's appearance clearly made up for this problem.
It is precisely for this reason that Sengoku spared no effort in the Marine Headquarters to protect Bai Yu at every turn.
Just as a series of thoughts began to form, the words coming from the Den Den Mushi caused Sengoku's expression to freeze instantly.
" Fleet Admiral Sengoku, I'm not asking for help. Bai Yu is currently in the Dressrosa waters. He received a strong report from the public and asked me to inform you in advance that he's going to fight Shichibukai."
