Marine Headquarters, Marineford
In the Fleet Admiral's office, Sengoku was holding his forehead, looking at the military deploynt map on his desk, his brows tightly furrowed.
With Pirate King Roger's dying words, a large number of pirates began to pour into the Grand Line, and the Navy's military strength was already stretched thin.
Although the high-end combat power was guarded by the three Logia Admirals, these three were clearly problematic individuals: Kizaru, who clocked in for work and collected his monthly salary, mostly idle; Aokiji, who was lazy most of the ti; and Akainu, who, compared to the other two, actually got things done.
However, so of Akainu's actions were too radical, and Sengoku wasn't very fond of his absolute justice.
As for the pirates,
The Four Emperors in the New World were eyeing them covetously. Each Emperor possessed the power to easily destroy a country, not to ntion the powerful pirates under their command.
"The current Navy needs an influx of fresh blood, especially talented individuals!" Sengoku thought, then sighed again,
"Talent is hard to co by!"
Knock, knock, knock,
A knock on the door sounded, and a Marine soldier entered. After saluting, he took out a Den Den Mushi and said seriously,
"Report, Fleet Admiral! Captain Rod of the East Blue Marine 155th Branch has sent a ssage, saying he has important information to report to Headquarters!"
"East Blue? Could it be that the Brand Pirate Crew started causing trouble a few days ago? Those damned sea trash!"
Sengoku's mood worsened. He nodded, let the soldier out, and connected to Rod's Den Den Mushi.
"Moshi Moshi, this is Marine Headquarters, I am Fleet Admiral Sengoku. Captain Rod, what important information do you have to report?"
Rod's Den Den Mushi imdiately mimicked an excited expression and spoke,
"Fleet Admiral Sengoku, I am Rod! A new recruit with extrely strong talent has arrived at our branch's recruitnt office! His na is Uchiha Chiga!"
"A new recruit with extrely strong talent??" Sengoku was a bit excited. Hearing this news at such a ti was like a tily help.
However, thinking that it was a Marine branch in the East Blue, he couldn't help but feel suspicious. After all, it was difficult for an extrely talented new recruit to appear in the weakest sea. He felt that it was highly likely that Rod had been in the East Blue for too long and beca overly excited upon seeing a slightly capable newcor.
Thinking of this, Sengoku's recently risen emotions fell back down.
"Hmm, I understand. Can you describe what 'extrely strong talent' specifically ans?"
"This Uchiha Chiga possesses many abilities. First, his physical fitness is very strong, and he also has an ability that seems to control gravity and repulsion. He can fly, and he can easily lift the entire Marine branch building into the sky and gently put it down!"
"Nani!?"
Upon hearing this, Sengoku was no longer calm. As the highest-ranking officer in Marine Headquarters and one of the top combatants in this world, Sengoku naturally knew what he was hearing.
Flight, control of gravity and repulsion—no matter which ability it was, it was extrely powerful. Could it be a Paracia Devil Fruit?
Furthermore, Uchiha Chiga could already easily lift an entire Marine branch building into the sky, indicating that his ability was already very skillfully used.
Could it be that a treasure had truly been found? Sengoku was sowhat incredulous.
At this mont, Rod's voice sounded again,
"The Brand Pirate Crew has been annihilated by him alone! The captain beca a charred corpse, and the other pirates were turned into a black ball by him! He says he also has the ability to control flas! And…!" Rod paused,
"He's only sixteen years old!"
"…"
Silence.
"Fl… Fleet Admiral Sengoku?" Rod, seeing no response for a while, thought that Fleet Admiral Sengoku found his words too exaggerated and cautiously asked,
"I'm here!"
Sengoku snapped back to reality. His face flushed, and he shouted into the Den Den Mushi,
"Captain Rod, you've done very well! Headquarters will imdiately dispatch a warship to pick him up. During this period, you must ensure he experiences our Navy's sincerity!"
"Understood, Fleet Admiral Sengoku!"
Hanging up the Den Den Mushi, Sengoku let out a long breath, preparing to arrange for the warship to the East Blue.
Bang!
The door was roughly pushed open.
"Sengoku! I want to go back to the East Blue to see my grandson!"
Entering was the legendary Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral, Garp. He picked his nose and rushed to Sengoku's desk, shouting casually at Sengoku,
Sengoku looked at his friend, feeling a headache. This guy usually didn't do any serious work, and even Aokiji had learned bad habits from him, and he also liked to harass him and steal his senbei!
Just as he was about to reprimand this annoying guy, suddenly, Sengoku's eyes lit up.
He could use this opportunity to have Garp pick him up. Although Garp was usually unreliable, his reputation preceded him. Wouldn't having him go better demonstrate the Navy's sincerity?
He was truly wise!
Sengoku's face imdiately showed a benevolent smile.
"Alright, I approve!"
"Oh, I haven't seen my grandson in a long ti. This ti you… huh?!"
Garp was about to argue. Normally, Sengoku would righteously refuse, and then Garp would have to coax and threaten him until he compromised.
But this ti, it was so smooth?
Sengoku's abnormal behavior stumped Garp, and he froze in place for a mont.
Sengoku also realized his behavior was a bit unusual, coughed awkwardly twice, and then said seriously,
"I can grant you leave, but you have to pick soone up for on the way. He's at the East Blue Marine 155th Branch."
"Pick soone up? Who?"
"A new Marine recruit. His na is Uchiha Chiga!"
