Marine Headquarters Fleet Admiral's Office
"These damned scum of the sea!" Akainu Sakazuki growled.
He looked down at the newspaper on his desk, cold killing intent burning in his eyes.
The entry ticket rules set by Kaido were a complete insult to the Marines. They put every Marine in the crosshairs.
As long as even one Marine died because of this admission ticket system, it would show how weak the new Marine leadership was.
Just thinking about how the respect they'd built in the New World over the past few years could be destroyed like this made Sakazuki want to fly directly to Kaido and Alex's territory right now. He wanted to fight these two biggest threats to the death.
While the new Fleet Admiral vented his anger, Kizaru, Garp, and Sengoku sat casually on the sofa, looking like this had nothing to do with them. Only Aramaki, who acted like Sakazuki's biggest fan, agreed with the Fleet Admiral's angry words about Kaido's group.
"Calm down, Sakazuki," Sengoku said after the hot-tempered magma user finished venting.
He crossed his arms. "Yes, this is an insult to our Marines. But if you think about it, this is also a chance. A good opportunity to catch this so-called carnival."
"We can wipe out all the evil forces in the New World at once," Sengoku continued. "Especially in a situation involving ONE PIECE, we don't need to worry about the New World pirate balance that Marines have always been concerned about."
Sakazuki understood this too. After calming his anger, he clenched his fists tightly. His deep voice carried a sense of pressure.
"Of course I know this! This time, the whole army will attack! We will wipe out these sea scum!"
After Sakazuki finished speaking, Aramaki immediately said with enthusiasm, "That's right, Fleet Admiral! Whether it's pirates or those illegal countries and underground forces - all this trash should be cleaned up completely! Don't worry, this time I'll definitely kill all those guys. It's time for the so-called Great Pirate Era to end!"
"He's really motivated," Kizaru said lazily, crossing his legs while trimming his nails.
"I really can't keep up with today's young people," former Fleet Admiral Sengoku said, shaking his head. He continued fighting with Garp over the rice crackers in his arms.
Thinking of something, Sengoku took out a Den Den Mushi with a mohawk haircut and dialed it.
"Don't give me that lazy look - you all have to fight!" Sakazuki shouted again.
Before anyone could answer, sudden footsteps echoed in the corridor outside the office.
After a moment, three men in white coats and strange masks pushed open the door and walked in.
Sakazuki looked at them coldly. "This is the Marine Fleet Admiral's office! You government dogs can't come in without permission!"
Along with his icy words came a killing intent that felt crushing.
Though intimidated by his aura for a moment, the three quickly returned to normal. Remembering they were here representing the World Government, one of the masked men became very unfriendly in tone.
"Watch your words, Sakazuki! Even if you're the Fleet Admiral, you're still a Marine under the World Government!"
Sizzle!
Extremely hot lava dripped onto the office furniture, and the sound of burning filled the room.
At the same time, Sakazuki's right fist turned into magma as he prepared to strike.
"If you've had enough of showing off, stop it, Sakazuki!"
Just as the attack was about to hit the CP0 agent already trembling on the ground, an old and heavy voice came from outside the door.
Hearing this voice, Sakazuki immediately stopped using his ability. But he still used his fist to knock the CP0 agent away. Then he looked down at the remaining people with cold, surprised eyes.
"I wondered where these dogs got the courage to stand in front of me... I didn't expect you to come out personally!"
Akainu looked up at the open office door. After a few breaths, an old man in a black suit with fluffy curly hair walked in. It was Jaygarcia Saturn, one of the Five Elders!
Seeing one of the most powerful people in the World Government, everyone except Garp and Sengoku showed obvious changes in their expressions.
"After all, things have developed in an unexpected way. This is already a major event that threatens the World Government," Jaygarcia Saturn said slowly as he walked in.
"The group of lawbreakers must be wiped out. The World Government will send troops to fight alongside the Marines this time."
"Including CP0, special forces, and Seraphim weapons?" Sakazuki asked calmly.
This was Marine's high command level, and everyone present knew about the special forces that hadn't been revealed to the world yet.
"It's not just about that," Jaygarcia Saturn replied without revealing any details.
Then he looked at Garp. "But the Seraphim have an extra mission this time, Garp! We've already detected traces of the Straw Hat Pirates. If you participate, you will lead the Seraphim to arrest them!"
Hearing this, Garp's relaxed expression gradually became serious.
"Ah, just to deal with a rookie pirate - is it necessary to use this kind of lineup?" Kizaru asked.
"Hmph, that guy is already a thorn in the World Government's side that can't be ignored. Not to mention he's involved with a dangerous organization like the Revolutionary Army," Jaygarcia Saturn said coldly.
He warned Garp: "Don't mention what happened before. We won't turn a blind eye to the current situation. Understand, Garp! This is an order!"
