Chapter 107: Special Methods of Using Overbearing Aura

"Send this recording to Marineford, to Sengoku, and then you'll be free."

Luna said as she opened the cage.

At the same time, she put the transponder snail, which the system had already processed and stored the edited recording in, into a small bag and handed it to the Newspaper Seagull in front of her.

The Newspaper Seagull immediately put the small bag into its satchel.

It nodded, indicating it would definitely complete the task, then walked out of the cage, flapped its wings, and flew out the window.

Luna went to the window and saw the Newspaper Seagull already high in the sky.

This was, after all, still the sea near Enies Lobby, very close to Marineford, so she believed the Newspaper Seagull would arrive very soon.

As for whether it would get lost, haha, a Newspaper Seagull that has been professionally delivering newspapers for so many years would get lost? What a joke!

However, while there was still some time before returning to Enies Lobby, Luna decided to deal with the rewards from the four completed missions.

First, the 20 tons of kaila giant crocodile meat, just like the sweet cola that appeared before, would be set aside.

The time for the long-distance journey was not far off, and they would discuss it during the Pink Hat Pirate Crew's internal feast, as it was such delicious meat.

Next, she saw the Electric King skill card from the Pokémon World appear in her hand.

"System, please help me process this again and use it directly on Shino, and also inform her," Luna said with a smile.

"Understood, host, happy to oblige," the system immediately spoke in her mind.

At the same time, the card in Luna's hand instantly turned into a glimmering light and dissipated into the air.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Shino Asada, who had also just finished a bath, was wiping her hair with a towel, her proud and beautiful body revealed.

But suddenly, Shino Asada's eyes widened, and her movements stopped, as a memory suddenly appeared in her mind; her body instinctively gained a new reaction, as if she had acquired a skill that she could use through instinct.

The system's voice also immediately appeared in her mind, telling her what had happened.

"So that's it, thank you, Luna, this is great! Now I finally have a control skill, and combined with the bullets from my sniper rifle, I might be able to release an electric net attack over ultra-long distances to control opponents, and if hit and trapped by this Electric King, enemies will continuously take lightning damage. I must try it later."

After understanding, Shino Asada immediately said with a joyful smile, and at the same time, she explained how she could better utilize the Electric Net skill: by combining it with the bullets fired from her sniper rifle to unleash a greater combat effect of the Electric Net skill.

At the same time, in Luna's room, she was also dealing with the remaining rewards.

First was the Three Types of Haki Enhancement Luxury Pack. Luna used it directly on herself. A golden light flashed all over Luna's body. She greatly enjoyed this feeling, closing her eyes, a slight smile on her lips, silently savoring it, as if her entire being had been sublimated.

"Congratulations, host, you have upgraded your Three Types of Haki to the top level, officially becoming a top-tier Haki master on the Grand Line, and have acquired special usage methods: Observation Killing, Armament Hardening, and Conquerors Haki Barrier."

"Observation Killing: Able to control one's aura, preventing opponents from using Observation Haki to foresee the future. This ability suppresses the opponent's use of Observation Haki, making them unable to foresee the user's next move, thereby gaining an advantage in combat."

"Armament Hardening: Can transform the Haki energy and flow of Armament Haki into a tangible object. This special Armament Haki weapon significantly increases defense and attack power, greatly enhancing the user's combat ability, thereby gaining an advantage in combat."

"Conquerors Haki Barrier: An upgrade based on Conquerors Haki Infusion, capable of condensing invisible Haoshoku around oneself into a tangible barrier. It has extremely high defense and can block most attacks from a distance, thereby gaining a significant advantage in combat."

"Give it a try."

Luna immediately tried it. Observation Killing, of course, couldn't be tested because there was no one there to help Luna experiment.

But the latter two were fine. Luna extended her hand, clenching it into a fist, and a miraculous scene occurred: Luna's hand immediately donned a pair of pitch-black gauntlets, gauntlets made of Armament Haki, and a layer of Haki flowed over them, the unique purplish-gold color that Luna used with Ryou.

Luna also guessed that perhaps in the hands of some special individuals, the color of Haki at high-level application would be different.

But Luna could now fully feel that compared to Armament Haki: Ryuo, these Armament Haki gauntlets formed by Hardening had a greater increase in attack and defense.

And it wasn't just gauntlets that could be condensed. Luna subsequently condensed various weapons like swords and blades. Of course, long-range attacks were still not possible. Luna found that she could only condense close-combat weapons. If she wanted to condense long-range weapons for Haki energy attacks, she still needed more training and practice.

However, her close-combat ability had been greatly enhanced.

"Not bad, not bad." After playing enough.

After retracting her Armament Haki, Luna also tried the Conquerors Haki Barrier.

Dark red lightning flashed before her palm, but Luna could detect the presence of an invisible barrier, and its defense was very high.

But no matter what, her Haki had reached the peak, no matter which type. She really wanted to find someone to fight, preferably a strong one, using only Haki.

"I hope the Marines don't disappoint me and send some strong individuals," Luna said with a smile, taking out a summon card.

As before, she wouldn't summon immediately; she would first see who was summoned.

Luna quickly used it, and the system's prompt sounded once again.

"Ding, host has used a summon card. Congratulations, host, you have obtained a character from the Pokémon World: Diamond Princess Diancie."

"No way, it's actually her." Luna was a little surprised, even stunned.

But indeed, she had previously obtained a skill card from the Pokémon World, and now her new companion was also from the Pokémon World—to be precise, not a person, but a pokémon.

It was a Mythical pokémon, and currently, among those she knew, the only Mythical pokémon capable of Mega Evolution.

First appearing in pokémon X and Y, it is a Rock/Fairy-type Mythical pokémon.

A mutant of Carbink, it shines with a pink glow all over its body and is considered the most beautiful in the world. It compresses carbon in the air with its hands, creating a large number of diamonds in an instant. No known evolutionary line exists.

With the help of a Diancite, it can Mega Evolve into Mega Diancie.

But suddenly, Luna seemed to realize something. She blinked, thought for a moment, and then immediately asked,

"System, when I summon, will it be a normal form Diancie?"

It wasn't that Luna was being precious; it was because, in her impression, a regular Diancie in its normal form, let alone a pokémon, even ordinary people could deal with her. In other words, in the Pirate World, ordinary humans could deal with this Diamond pokémon.

With this strength... "It is as the host thinks, but host, with my help, it shouldn't be difficult for you to raise her strength with mission rewards, as you have done it several times before." The system first gave an answer, then offered its opinion.

"You have a point." Luna thought of the rewards she received last time, the two armament haki awakening cards and two Observation Haki Awakening Cards, which were still in the system space. She felt that the system was indeed not wrong.

She planned to give one set of two different Haki Awakening Cards to Sana, and the remaining two would form another set for Diancie later.

Moreover, she might also obtain other items that could enhance Diancie's strength, such as Diancie's Mega Stone.

She could even make her Mega Evolve permanently.

But all in all, the matter of her joining the Pink Hat Pirate Crew would have to wait, perhaps until they left Water Seven and had acquired a new ship.

Therefore, Luna decided to fully summon Diancie later, but she still had the system bring up Diancie's virtual panel.

[Name: Diancie]

[Age: 16]

[Gender: Female]

[Occupation: None]

[Strength: Below Vice Admiral]

[Weapon: None]

[Abilities: Produces diamonds, proficient in multiple pokémon moves.]

Luna was stunned after reading it, just sitting on the bed.

Because seeing this virtual panel, Luna had many more questions. First, why was the age 16? And why was the strength listed as "Below Vice Admiral"? Was there no specific value? Also, "proficient in multiple pokémon moves"? What the hell? Didn't Diancie in its normal form only know how to create diamonds? Besides, Carbink, as a pokémon, isn't very strong in combat, is it?

Although the Pokémon World has its own leveling system, which is at least much stronger than the Pirate World, in terms of base stats, Carbink as a pokémon is really weak.

"System, what's going on?" Luna asked directly, unable to figure it out.

"Carbink can evolve into Diancie. In the Pokémon World, this is a very rare situation, as it is a Mythical pokémon, but it still hasn't deviated from pokémon evolution. A growth process takes time."

"The Diancie you drew, host, took this long, 16 years, to evolve from Carbink to Diancie."

"Then there's the strength. Why is the 'Strength' column on the virtual panel written as 'Below Vice Admiral'? That's because the system's strength evaluation for people. Below Vice Admiral, it won't elaborate, uniformly categorized as 'Below Vice Admiral'."

"Finally, the pokémon moves that this Diancie you drew has mastered, they are indeed present."

"That includes the following..."

---------------------------------

Chapter 108: The anger of the three elders of the Navy was like a thunderbolt!

"Moonblast, Reflect, Stone Edge, Safeguard, Light Screen, Stealth Rock, Rollout, Power Gem, Tackle, Harden, Rock Slide, Ancient Power... and so on."

After the system's introduction, Luna had a general understanding. She immediately nodded, indicating comprehension.

The system looked down upon any existence below the rank of Vice Admiral, so it uniformly categorized all beings below Vice Admiral strength as "below Vice Admiral." She could understand this, just as she herself wouldn't put a Marine Vice Admiral in her eyes.

As for the age, thinking about it, it was indeed correct. In the world of pokémon, evolution is equivalent to the growth cycle of ordinary creatures, encompassing different age stages.

Bug Type pokémon are the fastest; they can evolve from their initial form to their final form in just one month, like Caterpie evolving into Butterfree, or even faster—sometimes within a week.

The slowest is the Dragon Type. As far as she knew, the slowest took 50 years just to evolve into its final form. However, this was a case of accumulating strength over time; Dragon Type pokémon are incredibly powerful later on, unlike Bug Types, which, despite completing their final evolution the fastest, only have one powerful individual out of a hundred.

At the same time, the evolution of Carbink, which contains both Rock Type and Fairy Type attributes, into Diancie is merely an anomaly. It is not the most difficult evolution among all types of pokémon. Given this age, it seems entirely reasonable.

But who cares? Anyway, Luna had already decided that she would summon Diancie to this world only after some more time had passed.

After the task rewards were processed, Luna felt she had nothing else to do, so she immediately lay down on the bed, covered herself with a blanket, and drifted off to sleep... Meanwhile, at Marineford.

Inside Sengoku's office, only he was currently seated at his desk, while sitting on a nearby sofa were Marine Hero Garp and Marine Chief-of-Staff Tsuru.

With the help of the two of them, although Garp had caused some amusing trouble that almost made him furious.

Sengoku still managed to finish all of today's documents ahead of schedule, allowing him a brief rest to eat some senbei and drink a cup of tea, accompanied by his two old friends.

But as he ate, Sengoku quickly recalled a small issue that had been reported earlier. Previously, wanting to quickly deal with the documents, and because the issue seemed minor, he hadn't paid much attention to it.

He had forgotten about it, but now that he thought of it, Aokiji had only recently returned, and now he had gone out again. This seemed unusual. What exactly was going on?

"Garp, stop eating. Did Aokiji go out again?"

Thinking of this, Sengoku asked directly. He asked Garp because he knew that among the Three Admirals, Aokiji had the best relationship with Garp; Garp had once mentored Aokiji, and Aokiji held some admiration for him.

Precisely because of this relationship, Garp should know why Aokiji went out again, right? After all, Aokiji had returned only two days after being defeated by Tatsumaki of the Pink Hat Pirates, and had stayed at Marineford for two more days.

Sengoku was genuinely curious about the reason for him leaving again now.

Even Tsuru cast a curious look towards Garp.

"That brat gave his golden transponder snail to Spandam of Enies Lobby. That Spandam is a scoundrel! There was an accident. Before Aokiji left, didn't Onigumo and others lead ten warships to launch a Buster Call? The target location turned out to be Enies Lobby itself. Aokiji went to salvage the situation."

Garp immediately chewed and swallowed the senbei in his mouth, then sneered as he spoke.

After all, it was such a stupid mistaken order. Of course, if he knew his own grandson was also at Enies Lobby, he would probably have been panicking and flustered already.

Sengoku and Tsuru stopped eating after hearing this, frowning. How could such a mistake be made?

But realizing that Aokiji was handling the matter, they immediately felt much more relieved, believing that at most, only some Marines and World Government personnel on the island would suffer some collateral damage and casualties.

Just as they were about to breathe a sigh of relief, suddenly, all three looked out the window. As strong, veteran pillars of the Marines, their Observation Haki was not low, and they naturally sensed a faint presence flying in from outside.

"A Newspaper Seagull," Garp exclaimed, somewhat surprised.

"Hmm, why is it flying directly into my office?" Sengoku immediately asked, puzzled, and Tsuru's face was also filled with confusion.

Because, while Newspaper Seagulls do come to Marineford to distribute newspapers—a practice the Marines tacitly allow—Newspaper Seagulls do not enter important locations. Usually, they arrive at the plaza and conduct newspaper sales with ordinary Marine Soldiers.

If they wanted to know the news, these Marines would bring the papers up to them. Why was it that today a Seagull seemed intent on flying directly into the office?

"Could it be that someone is trying to use the Newspaper Seagull to deliver information directly to me?" Tsuru immediately came up with a guess. It must be said that she was very smart, guessing at least 95% correctly.

Sengoku, who was about to speak up and stop the Newspaper Seagull from entering, thought for a moment. It seemed this was indeed possible, and the matter must be significant, so he allowed the Newspaper Seagull to enter.

This Seagull, of course, was sent by Luna to deliver a message to Sengoku and the others.

At this moment, it was filled with fear, which made its actions very swift. It immediately retrieved the small transponder snail from its bag, dropped it onto the table, and quickly flapped its wings to leave.

The three men frowned. Since it was right in front of Garp, he picked it up immediately. Upon opening it, they found it was a video transponder snail.

It intended to ask them to watch a video, with the content contained within the recording. The three immediately realized.

This definitely wasn't good news; the situation seemed quite serious.

The expressions of these three Marine veterans weren't good; there was trouble again, and likely a big one.

"Open it and see," Sengoku sighed, standing up with a resolute gaze, speaking as he walked closer.

Regardless of the severity or difficulty, he would accept it. Let's see what exactly has arrived.

Garp nodded and pressed the button on the transponder snail. Soon, a pre-prepared video began to play—the recording Luna wanted them to see.

Garp and the others immediately became more shocked and more distressed the more they watched, breathing heavily due to anger.

"Scoundrels!" Sengoku cursed directly. He finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"This is too lawless!" Even Tsuru swore in anger, the veins on her forehead throbbing due to fury, exacerbated by the humiliation she suffered at Luna's hands last time, and being told about the sea.

One might even suspect she would crush the staff that had accompanied her for many years, simply because her rage was now overwhelming, seemingly approaching the power of a volcanic eruption.

"This is indeed going too far." Garp's expression was also terrible, as if he had eaten a pound of chili peppers, gritting his teeth.

The senbei and the teacup in his hand were crushed, and he ignored the scalding tea in his other hand because he truly hadn't expected Luna to be so ruthless this time.

Ten thousand Marine Soldiers! That was ten thousand Marine Soldiers, plus ten of the Marines' most advanced and sturdiest warships. The Marines' losses and casualties this time were unprecedented in recent years, not even occurring in the twenty years since Roger was executed.

These three Marine veterans finally couldn't help but curse when they finished watching the Pink Hat Pirates massacre the Buster Call fleet.

But at the same time, they maintained a shred of composure. They were Marines who had survived the old era. Casualties like this were common among the older generation before Roger's execution, especially during the Rocks Era.

Of course, they only possessed strength, not intellect.

Garp and the other two were also very surprised; the overall strength displayed by the Pink Hat Pirates was indeed astonishing.

Furthermore, the individual strength was not low, whether it was Luna, whom they genuinely regarded as having Four Emperors level strength, or Tatsumaki, who possessed Admiral Level strength.

There were also some other young girls whose strength was not low, but what truly astonished the three of them was the power displayed by Kuina and Shiro. After a brief internal analysis, they were once again immensely shocked, forgetting even their previous anger.

"Those two have likely already reached Admiral Level strength," Sengoku said, gritting his teeth, his face full of distress.

"No way! The talent of those two girls is too strong! You must remember that the last time they fought Borsalino, they were only Reserve Admirals."

"I don't know if it's an illusion, but I feel that Deya and that little sniper girl's strength are probably also rapidly approaching the Admiral Level."

Tsuru immediately followed up, having observed very carefully. She felt that the strength of Deya and Shino Asada was also unusual, and just as she said, they seemed on the verge of entering the Admiral Level.

No, there were also the last three girls. The powers of the Angel, the Snow Woman, and the Phoenix. Anyway, she had momentarily forgotten their names.

But after thinking for a moment, the strength of these three girls would likely soon fully reach the Reserve Admiral level, perhaps even faster than Deya and Shino Asada's speed in reaching the Admiral Level, in her estimation.

She herself was a Devil Fruit User, so she naturally wouldn't underestimate the power of those three legendary devil fruit—Angel, Phoenix, and Snow Woman. Furthermore, the talent and imagination of these three young girls were likely very high.

Therefore, she immediately mentioned this matter again, emphasizing that the talent of these three girls was likely not low, and coupled with the fact that the Pink Hat Pirates were all very young, fluctuating around 20 years old.

There's no guarantee they won't all become Admirals and Emperors in the future.

After hearing this, Sengoku and Garp both took a sharp intake of breath.

"We still underestimated the Pink Hat Pirates," Sengoku said with a heavy expression.

"Sengoku, Tsuru, there seems to be more afterward. Also, did you notice that the long-range energy punch Luna unleashed looked a bit like Magma?"

Garp immediately raised a crucial question.

---------------------------------

Chapter 109: The Five Elders' Rage

Sengoku and Tsuru were shocked to hear this. "Ah, there's more, isn't there?" When they saw the Buster Call fleet completely destroyed, they were overcome with anger and temporarily paused it. Now, looking at the progress, holy cow, there seems to be more.

"What else? Isn't it enough that these girls destroyed the Buster Call fleet?"

Sengoku and Tsuru, thinking of this, immediately broke out in a cold sweat, feeling a surge of fear.

But then they heard Garp's next words and were stunned: "A punch of energy very much like Magma."

After a moment of recollection, both were incredibly shocked.

It really seemed to be the case.

"How could she possess Magma Ability?" Sengoku asked, puzzled. "Isn't that girl a Mythical Zoan Void Demon God? How could she suddenly have Magma Ability?"

"Is there a possibility that the Devil Fruit Luna ate is not as simple as we imagined, and it has other abilities?"

Tsuru immediately thought and said, stating her guess. As for why she thought this, it was naturally because Mythical Zoan Devil Fruits are considered very unconventional among all Devil Fruits.

"Well, I'm going to continue playing it," Garp said, rubbing his rough hand over his head. "Luna must have a purpose for sending this, and it might be in the rest of the video."

He didn't want to get involved in the conversation between his two old friends. After all, this was just speculation. It would be more practical to go and fight Luna, to experience the battle firsthand, and only then would he know what other abilities this sly little girl possessed.

"This… I have no problem."

"You continue playing."

Sengoku and Tsuru exchanged glances, thinking that they still needed to figure out Luna's true purpose, so they agreed.

Garp pressed the button on the transponder snail and continued playback.

The next moment, the three Marine elders were once again enraged, almost fainting from anger.

Sengoku, standing by the table, was so furious he almost became hypoxic, his leg slipped, and he nearly fell to the ground.

What they saw was Spandam, a key World Government official and the current CP9 director, killed—a sword through his brain.

And all the Marine Soldiers on Enies Lobby, plus World Government personnel, were once again completely massacred by the Pink Hat Pirates, leaving no one alive.

Actually, when the system was editing, it didn't include the Straw Hat Pirates, the two giants, or CP9. The first two had already escaped, even leaving before the Pink Hat Pirates, and quite some time after. As for all of CP9, they were still unconscious, drifting on a large wooden board in the waters near Enies Lobby.

But this was not what angered the three Marine elders the most, almost making them faint. The fundamental reason was that Aokiji was defeated later, and Enies Lobby was also destroyed.

The Marines suffered heavy casualties this time, with at least 12,000 dead, and their five Vice Admirals and one Admiral were captured. The World Government was also affected this time.

It could be said that the Pink Hat Pirates finally made their move against the World Government for the first time. After all, compared to Marineford and Impel Down, Enies Lobby could be said to truly belong to the World Government. It was also the only one of the three major important institutions that flew the World Government flag.

Because the control and focus of Impel Down were still in the hands of the Marines.

"If you want to redeem your five Marine Vice Admirals and Aokiji, bring 2 billion Berries and Spandine to Water Seven within three days for the exchange. If you're late, I guarantee these six people will go to hell. This video ends here, and it's all the information I want to convey to you. It has all been played. I am Luna, the captain of the Pink Hat Pirates, and I await you."

At the very end of the video, Luna appeared and spoke personally. Of course, this was also self-edited by the system.

But this final scene still infuriated the three Marine elders. After suffering such heavy casualties and such great humiliation, they still had to pay 2 billion Berries to the other party.

"Damn it, these wretched girls! They insist on going against our Marines! Destroying and massacring passing Navy Warships wasn't enough, and now they've done something this big! Damn it!"

Sengoku finally couldn't help but curse. With the power of the Great Buddha, his voice echoed throughout Marineford, shaking the ground and conjuring strong winds.

---------------------------------

Chapter 110 The entire Marineford trembled

The entire Marineford trembled, and the sea had lost its calm, with waves rising and falling. To become the Fleet Admiral of the Marines, his strength was naturally not to be underestimated. Now, Sengoku had revealed some of it due to anger.

"These girls, I shouldn't have let them go so easily back then," Garp said, also very annoyed and angry.

He even felt some regret. He shouldn't have let Luna and her crew go so easily back then. Now they had grown up, and even if the Marines put in their full effort, it would be difficult to deal with them. In his eyes, Luna's Pink Hat Pirates were not far from the threshold of a Four Emperor Crew, just a quarter-step away.

"You two calm down. Exchanging one Admiral and five Vice Admirals for 2 billion Berries, and the World Government won't tolerate our Marines losing five Vice Admirals and one Admiral. Spandine is just a piece of trash; if we talk to the World Government, they will agree. The most important thing now is to redeem the people. Also, prepare quickly. With the time already passed, three days is a bit tight, so it's best to be fast."

Tsuru immediately regained her composure and then stated her thoughts on how the Marines should deal with this situation.

After thinking about it, Garp and Sengoku also calmed down and decided to proceed as Tsuru suggested.

"Let me go this time," Garp said after taking a deep breath.

"Okay, bring your subordinate Borsalino with you. He is a Great Swordsman, Admiral Level, after all. Try to bring as few Marine Soldiers as possible; their effectiveness is too low in front of anyone from the Pink Hat Pirates. Also, I will have Sakazuki and Borsalino go together," Sengoku said with a determined look after thinking for a moment.

Garp and Tsuru were surprised. Was this another abandonment of the original secret intelligence investigation plan, sending more cannon fodder, strong cannon fodder, to test them? Were the Marines going to enter the fray themselves again?

"As you know, after watching this video, every girl in the Pink Hat Pirates is extraordinary. Even the three girls who ate these three legendary Devil Fruits can be regarded as having Reserve Admiral strength, even if they are at the weakest end. Plus Deya and Shino Asada, who also have Reserve Admiral strength, and the three with Admiral Level strength—Kuina, Shiro, and Tatsumaki—plus Luna, it is appropriate to send four Admiral-level powerhouses."

"Most importantly, through the previous video playback, I found that Luna's Void Ability seems to require a reaction time to activate, and speed is key. So, let Kizaru try it, after all, he is light. If the Void Ability is countered, in terms of raw strength, Garp, you have no problem."

Sengoku immediately stated his thoughts. Tsuru and Garp felt it was reasonable. Perhaps the speed of light could indeed counter Luna's Void Ability. Coupled with their strong lineup this time, they could rescue Aokiji and the five Vice Admirals, which would be a significant boost in combat power. Even if they couldn't win, they could retreat safely, or even fight to a draw, with both sides making concessions.

However, they wouldn't know that within these three days, the Pink Hat Pirates' strength would once again increase significantly.

After discussing a bit more and finding no issues, the three immediately split up to act.

Garp was responsible for gathering personnel and getting his warship ready for departure at any time, and he also had Borsalino contact Akainu and Kizaru, telling them to return quickly.

Akainu was initially very resistant, but after hearing that he wouldn't have to directly face Luna, he immediately agreed, even saying something about fighting for absolute justice.

Kizaru had long known about Luna's power and the tricky nature of her abilities. He originally didn't want to come, but after hearing about vacation and a raise, he immediately came, even saying something about everything being for the service of the Marines.

Borsalino was speechless after hearing this. "Don't I know you guys? We're from the same batch, after all. One of you got a bit of a psychological shadow, but is still an iron-blooded Admiral. I heard that recently, many pirates in the Four Seas and Paradise have died tragically under this ruthless Admiral's Magma."

"And Kizaru, he's currently in the New World monitoring the actions of one of the Four Emperors, the Red Hair Pirates, but in reality, he's just living a comfortable life in a small branch there, being served meals and sleeping whenever he wants. I even heard there are beautiful Marine women serving him."

"If Mr. Garp hadn't specifically used a raise and vacation to entice this guy, he would definitely have been unwilling in a hundred ways. Does he really think I don't understand them?"

But no matter what, these two finally came. They should arrive before this evening. Kizaru was already fast, and Akainu was operating within a slightly nearby sea area, so he could return quickly.

The Marine's departure preparations and personnel readiness were well executed.

Tsuru also immediately prepared 2 billion Berries and then ordered several trusted female Marine Soldiers to move all the money to Garp's warship.

However, Sengoku was having a hard time because he was severely reprimanded by the Gorosei. Since Luna's demand included that good-for-nothing Spandine, he had to discuss it with the Gorosei.

"What? The Pink Hat Pirates again? Causing such a big commotion again! Sengoku! Give us an explanation! What's wrong with you Marines? Can't you even deal with a Pirate Crew made up of a bunch of little girls? The Buster Call, which represents the authority of the Marines and the World Government, was destroyed like this—this is the first time! An Admiral and five Vice Admirals were captured, Enies Lobby was destroyed, Spandam and many others were killed! How are you Marines doing your job? Do you still want this year's military budget?"
