Kapitel 52: Surprised

In the West Blue, at the impregnable Fortress of the Marine's 80th Division, Kizaru was in his office.

Approaching the window, he looked up at the sky. His expression was unreadable.

Originally, he had planned to rest for a few days in the West Blue after verifying Tokikake's body. But all his plans had changed.

"Uff… how troublesome," he sighed. Kizaru disappeared from the naval base with a yellow flash.

In the Holy Land of Mary Geoise, inside the enormous castle, four of the Five Elders were sitting, while another was standing, reviewing documents related to that year's Levely.

The recent attack by the Revolutionary Army on Mary Geoise had caused a great commotion, especially due to the actions of Sabo, "The Flame Emperor."

Soon, after processing the document in his hands, Saint Mars commented calmly: "Recently, some islands have started to worship Sabo as a hero, blaming him for Kobra's death. His fame has even surpassed that of his leader."

"Hero?" Saint Ju Peter said disapprovingly: "It doesn't matter, let that insect live a little longer."

Saint Saturn, without a second thought, said: "Let the Marines intercept their communications. Once we find him, this day next year will be Sabo's memorial day."

"PURUPURUPURU…"

As they spoke, a Den Den Mushi rang, interrupting the tranquility of the room. The device placed in the center of the desk began to ring. Saint Valcurie picked up the phone's receiver without hesitation and, while taking a sip of hot tea, asked: "What do you want, Sakazuki?"

"...Something has happened." Akainu's heavy voice resonated from the other side of the phone. Saint Valcurie took another sip of hot tea and said: "What?"

Now that the decision was made, Akainu took a deep breath and, trying to remain calm, said clearly: "Vice Admiral Tokikake was killed, Sengoku was also killed, Marineford was destroyed, and the main culprit behind all this was someone we believed to be dead a long time ago... The Ninja God Hashirama."

"Cough cough... cough cough…"

After hearing the mention of this name, Saint Valcurie choked on his tea and coughed violently. Everyone else present was shocked by the mention of this name.

"Valcurie, I'll send you the video of the destruction of Marineford by the Ninja God later." On the other side of the phone, Akainu seemed to have anticipated the reaction of these people and said in a heavy tone: "Hashirama has already started taking the lives of my Marines and surely the World Government will be his next target."

"Sakazuki, you wouldn't be lying to us, would you? You know the consequences of saying that name." Upon hearing what Akainu said so cautiously, Saint V. Nasujuro froze for a moment and then said slowly: "That man has been dead for over 40 years."

Akainu, who was already trying to contain his anger, exploded upon hearing their doubt. He said angrily: "Listen to me well, you damn puppets of the World Nobles, I don't give a damn if you believe me or not, I'm just informing you. Watch the video, damn it… GOTCHA."

Akainu hung up the phone.

"...Send the video..." Saint Valcurie ordered absentmindedly, not realizing that the call had already ended. They were still stunned by the confirmation of Hashirama's life.
