Chapter 45: The Shocked Fleet Admiral
Chapter 45: The Shocked Fleet Admiral
Marineford, Marine Headquarters.
A Vice Admiral in the headquarters, wearing a coat of justice, hurried to the office of the Fleet Admiral.
Boom boom boom!
The knock on the door was quick and loud.
"Please come in."
With the permission of the Fleet Admiral, the Vice Admiral opened the door and entered but his face was ashen as if something terrible happened, and it is true.
"Fleet Admiral Sengoku, something is wrong."
The Vice Admiral couldn't wait to speak. What he stated was none other than the Alabasta incident. And, according to Smoker's detailed investigation, it is basically can confirm that the culprit behind the civil war in Alabasta was none other than Crocodile, one of the Shichibukai.
In the beginning, when he saw the Vice Admiral being so rude, Fleet Admiral Sengoku couldn't help but frown, but after he receive the information, Sengoku's face could not help but become surprised, then shocked, and finally fell into silence.
"That Crocodile guy..."
After a long time, Sengoku murmured. He had already heard about the situation in Alabasta. It's just that there has been no evidence to prove that the civil strife in Alabasta has something to do with Crocodile, a Shichibukai, and a country's internal affairs.
Not to mention the Marine Headquarters, even the World Government has no position to interfere but if Crocodile was behind all this, then it would be completely different.
Even the Shichibukai, recognized by the World Government, is essentially pirates too. No, they are much more influential than ordinary pirates!
Once this thing spreads, it will undoubtedly have a big impact on the credibility of the World Government. This matter must be resolved as soon as possible. Not only the face of the World Government but also the justice of the marine!
Certainly, the current Fleet Admiral, his heart is more biased toward justice rather than a matter of face. At the same time, the Fleet Admiral also thought that the Vice Admiral in front of him had reported in such a panic.
Precisely because Alabasta is completely out of control that's why Captain Smoker asked the headquarters for support.
Considering Crocodile's strength this time, at least a Vice Admiral of the headquarters will be dispatched. But who knew, the Vice Admiral took a deep breath and shook his head towards Sengoku, "It's...it's over."
"Huh? What do you mean over? Could it be that Smoker defeated Crocodile?"
Sengoku couldn't help being taken aback. He also had some impressions of Captain Smoker. Although his level is not high, his strength is very outstanding, and his one of Zephyr's students.
If it weren't for his character, there would be no problem in being promoted to Commodore or even Rear Admiral, but compared with Crocodile, Sengoku feels that there is still a certain gap.
In fact, this part is what made the Vice Admiral so flustered because, in the content of the report, Smoker clearly emphasized—this time, they hardly played a positive role in the Alabasta incident but the Revolutionary Army Leader, Dragon saved the country!
"What?!"
Upon hearing Dragon's name, Sengoku also stood up from his seat with a bang. He never dreamed that the situation where he heard the name of the [World's Worst Criminal] Dragon!
If the truth is revealed, it will cause an uproar all over the world. Pirates recognized by the World Government want to steal the country. The revolutionary army, which the World Government regards as criminals, saved Alabasta.
Such a thing, just thinking about it, gave Sengoku a headache but—
"Dragon, really used his haki to instantly make an army of nearly a million people pass out?"
Sengoku couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air. In fact, Conqueror's Haki also has levels.
On the basic level where it was just awakened, it is often triggered by emotions such as anger, which can stun people around but cannot be controlled independently.
The intermediate-level Conqueror's Haki can be controlled according to one's own will, power, range, and even the target can be precisely selected.
And the Conqueror's Haki that has been dispersed in all directions, and make an army of hundreds of thousands of people knocked down is undoubtedly the most advanced Conqueror's Haki!
It is something that only a truly strong person with a strong mind, skill, and body can do!
It is a combat power that disturbs the Marine Headquarters, and people who can achieve this level are rare.
"Although I have long known that Dragon is not an easy guy but…" Sengoku gasped.
A man capable of raising a Revolutionary Army and overthrowing a dozen countries. How could it be an ordinary person? It is reasonable for him to cultivate Conqueror's Haki to such an extent.
Only, Dragon's whereabouts have always been secretive, and do things more cautiously. Before that, all the information about Dragon was mostly speculation.
And now, via Smoker's confirmation, it turned out to be true. For the Fleet Admiral, it is naturally an extremely shocking thing. At the same time, this also means that Dragon maybe even more terrifying than the World Government imagined.
"Where's Crocodile?"
It took a long time for Sengoku to calm down but what Sengoku didn't know was the truth was not what he thought!
Smoker didn't see Dragon at all, and all this was just his reasoning, his imagination, and the one who really possessed that level of haki is actually—
Solo!
The man who made Sengoku shocked was also Solo!
It was only because of all kinds of mistakes that caused a huge misunderstanding.
"This...not very clear."
When the Vice Admiral heard this, his face became embarrassed again because Smoker didn't see Crocodile whether it is the person or the corpse. The only thing he saw was an incomparably heroic battle scene and Hawkeye's presence.
Combined with Crocodile, he is an ability user who ate the Sand Sand Fruit. Smoker speculates that Crocodile was defeated by Hawkeye and escaped.
But, he has no proof!
Even if he asked about Hawkeye, this guy had a cold attitude and didn't say anything. And, for the whereabouts of Crocodile, he didn't know either.
Even Crocodile is the criminal he hasn't left any evidence. Thankfully, Princess Vivi brought out pieces of evidence when she was a spy.
"However, there is one more point that Smoker especially advocates. He believes that the matter about Alabasta should be... declared to the world openly and honestly and let the world know the truth of everything!" The Vice Admiral said righteously.
In fact, the justice in his heart is very close to Smoker only the face of the Fleet Admiral was cloudy and uncertain. It's not that he doesn't want to, but considering the influence of this matter, the World Government will not allow it.
"Who was involved in the Alabasta incident?" Sengoku asked again as if suddenly thinking of something.
"In addition to Captain Smoker, there is Master Chief Petty Officer Tashigi..."
The Vice Admiral paused, "By the way, I heard from Smoker that Warrant Officer Solo, who was supposed to come to the headquarters for training, happened to be in Alabasta."
