"What exactly happened?"
Sengoku, who knew Kizaru's personality well, directly asked for the details.
After all, Kizaru often slacked off on the job. Kizaru had also been in the office last time.
"Fleet Admiral Sengoku, I'm telling the truth this time. This person... Cyrus, is indeed a Logia Type ability user, and his fruit development is at a very high level."
"I already know that."
Sengoku's voice came through again.
"But Fleet Admiral Sengoku, what you don't know is, he has Conqueror's Haki!"
Kizaru's pouting words silenced Sengoku.
Even the eyelids of the Den Den Mushi Kizaru was speaking into drooped down.
"Are you sure?"
After a good while, Sengoku's voice, very serious, finally rang out.
"I'm sure. Not only that, he has also mastered Observation and Armament Haki, and his mastery is quite good. His Armament Haki has already reached the emission, allowing him to concentrate Haki into his fists and sword," Kizaru said, recalling his fight with Cyrus.
At the time, he was just surprised.
Since they were in the middle of a fight, he didn't think too much about it.
But now that he was back and could think about it calmly, the more he thought, the more incredible it seemed.
"I've seen many geniuses, both in the Navy and among those powerful Pirates, but I've never seen anyone with his level of strength at such a young age," Kizaru suddenly added, his tone filled with emotion.
"So, what was the result?" Sengoku asked.
"No result. After all, you said so yourself. And given his perspective on his abilities and his Haki, it wouldn't be easy for me to take him down either," Kizaru said, squinting and shaking his head, his tone becoming solemn.
Seemingly hearing the tone in Kizaru's voice, Sengoku fell silent for a moment before hanging up the Den Den Mushi.
Looking at the sleeping Den Den Mushi in his hand, Kizaru stroked his chin.
"Hmm, I don't know if it's my imagination, but he didn't seem to be injured at all!" Kizaru said, pulling up the sleeve on his arm.
There was a burn mark there, though it wasn't very serious.
He could feel that Cyrus was still a step behind him in all aspects, but something just felt off.
And his intuition told him that even if he went all out, it would be very difficult to achieve his goal.
"Yo, what a monster," Kizaru couldn't help but exclaim with a sigh.
...
Marine Headquarters.
Sengoku looked at the Den Den Mushi on his desk, a thoughtful expression on his face.
He was pondering the information he had just received from Kizaru, information about Cyrus.
A teenager who had awakened Conqueror's Haki, mastered Observation and Armament Haki to a high degree, had a highly developed Logia Type Devil Fruit, and might also be a Master Swordsman.
Where on earth did this guy pop out from?
There had been absolutely no news of him before.
But strength like this couldn't be achieved overnight.
Even getting stronger requires a process, right?
'But if it was the East Blue...' Sengoku thought of Roger and Garp.
"Go and ask the Chief of Staff and Garp to come here."
Sengoku looked up and shouted. The marine on duty outside the door saluted and quickly left.
"If what Borsalino said is true, then we need to change our attitude towards this Cyrus."
The good news, however, was that Cyrus was indeed not one of the Pirates on the seas.
But the bad news was, he was just as lawless.
Causing such a huge commotion in the North Blue, even though it was against Doflamingo, the impact was too great.
What kind of good person attacks twenty islands in a row?
And in such a short period of time.
Garp and Vice Admiral Tsuru arrived quickly.
Sengoku didn't beat around the bush.
As soon as the two arrived, he directly relayed the orders he had given Kizaru and Kizaru's report.
Garp sat in his chair in silence.
Vice Admiral Tsuru was lost in thought.
"Garp, speak up!"
Seeing neither of them say anything, Sengoku directly called him out.
"Say what?" Garp spread his hands. "We already knew about Cyrus's situation before, otherwise I wouldn't have made two trips. At most, he just exceeded our expectations by a tiny bit."
Garp's words made Sengoku's face darken.
This was a "tiny bit"?
"He's quite a fine young man. It's truly a pity," Vice Admiral Tsuru spoke up, drawing the attention of her two old comrades who were about to argue.
"Tsuru, what do you think?" Sengoku turned to ask.
Tsuru's wisdom was beyond question, and he wanted to hear her opinion.
"Difficult!"
Before Sengoku could finish, Vice Admiral Tsuru shook her head.
"You two know best what kind of personality people with Conqueror's Haki have. Since he has refused twice, it's basically impossible."
Sengoku and Garp glanced at each other, neither saying a word.
"However, since he's not a Pirate and doesn't call himself one, that's good news. It's just that he's indeed a bit too lawless."
The Navy already had a lot on its plate; one person shouldn't be a topic of their repeated discussions.
But the strength Cyrus now displayed had reached a point where it had to be taken seriously.
What's more, Cyrus was still very young.
This meant that as he grew older, as long as he didn't die, his strength would continue to increase significantly.
And the current Cyrus had already matured; killing him would be very difficult.
"How about I make a trip to the North Blue and chase this kid away?" Garp suddenly suggested.
Sengoku and Vice Admiral Tsuru both looked at Garp with strange expressions.
"Ahem, what are you looking at me for? Didn't you say he was being a bit lawless? Since that guy Borsalino can't do it, it's not a problem for me to make a trip," Garp defended himself.
"Forget it, let's not talk about that now. Sengoku, did you call me over this time intending for me to go to the North Blue?" Vice Admiral Tsuru ignored Garp's words and turned to ask.
"Yes!" Sengoku nodded.
"Tsuru, that kid's strength is nothing to scoff at," Garp immediately reminded her upon hearing her words.
"Garp, we're not talking about Cyrus, but Doflamingo. He has been operating in the North Blue for many years. Now that this kid is attacking his armories, that man definitely won't sit still!" Vice Admiral Tsuru explained to Garp.
"Exactly. I've already received news that Doflamingo has left Dressrosa. He's probably heading to the North Blue," Sengoku finished and looked at Vice Admiral Tsuru.
"You go to the North Blue and intercept him. Drive him back to the New World. The two of them cannot fight in the North Blue," Sengoku said.
"Alright. Keep an eye on his location and let me know," Vice Admiral Tsuru said, then stood up and left.
Garp watched Tsuru's departing figure, then turned to look at Sengoku.
"What are you two...?"
"Doflamingo's status," Sengoku reminded him, seeing that Garp didn't seem to get it.
"The World Government definitely knows about what happened in the North Blue this time. If he fights Doflamingo at this moment, the World Government will probably issue a bounty, and things will get complicated."
"Oh, so that's it!" Garp seemed to understand.
"Even if they fight, it has to be in the New World. Not the North Blue!"
