Bab 11: Chapter 11
"Sengoku, there's an issue in Arabasta," said Tsuru as she walked into the Fleet Admiral's office.
"Ahh, Tsuru-chan. What is it?" asked Sengoku casually.
"It appears Crocodile was trying to take over Arabasta," she responded directly to the point.
"Ohh?" he said interested.
"But he was stopped. Hina-chan and Smoker-kun are on the scene," she said, leaving Sengoku confused.
"So what's the issue?" he asked.
"The one who stopped him is the super rookie from East Blue." she continued.
"Garp's grandson?"
"No, the one with 71 million bounty, Unhinged Jinx," she responded.
"So, let's just raise her bounty and be done with it," said Sengoku nonchalantly. This didn't seem like an issue to him.
"She wants to replace Crocodile." continued Tsuru, "but the thing is that she also captured Fire Fist Ace."
This made the Fleet Admiral quiet down for a few seconds as he digested the information.
"Hmm." said Sengoku, "It seems she has the power to become a Warlord. I'll have a word with Elders about this."
"I really don't like the Warlords. Marines shouldn't cooperate with Pirates in this manner," said Tsuru while sighing.
"Unfortunately, it can't be helped," replied Sengoku.
--------------
It didn't take more than a few days to receive my answer.
After the talk between Hina and Tsuru, I was allowed to leave unharmed after I handed over Ace and Crocodile, and I returned to Arabasta. Nanohana to be exact. In that time, I had scrounged around the beaches around the town for Ace's ship and quickly found it.
Since I wasn't planning on repeating the Buggy situation again, I had to have my own ship. I went back to the blacksmith, Oldman Gajka who was reluctant to help me at first, but quickly gave in for some reason, and together we dismantled Ace's ship, Striker. It has an engine that uses fire to propel it forward and we dismantled the engines as well. With that done, I started drawing up a plan for my ship's engine since there was no way I was going to use sails like most of the people in this world.
Anyway, I got the paper for today and I was on the front page.
'After Crocodile's vile nature was revealed, there has been an empty seat amongst the warlords until now...' the paper said with a picture of my now upgraded bounty poster. The main page was mainly filled with my feats up until now, including defeating Crocodile and Ace. They even portrayed me as some sort of a hero for my deeds in Arabasta, but what mattered the most were the familiar Marine ships slowly approaching Nanohana.
Smoker's and Hina's rain-making ship quickly arrived on shore and both of them disembarked to meet me.
"It seems that we're not enemies anymore, Smokey," I said to Smoker who surprisingly had way fewer bandages on his body.
"Tsk, I really don't like this situation but I have no choice this time," he responded, slightly annoyed.
"Hina has no time for your banter. Hina is here to deliver this." the woman beside Smoker said as she pulled out a small snail that was about a few inches long, an earpiece den den mushi.
I casually took the snail from the Captain's hand and wore it on my ear.
"Hello?" I said, actually curious who might be on the other end. But my curiosity quickly died down when I recognized the voice.
"Is this Unhinged Jinx?" asked a voice from the snail.
"Yep, that's me," I responded.
"There is a meeting for the warlords in three weeks at Marijoa. If you survive until then, you'll officially be a Warlord," said Tsuru uncaringly before she ended the call.
"What a bitch" I said taking off the earpiece before looking at Hina's angry expression, "Looks like the bitch has an admirer."
Smoker then snatched the letter that Hina had been clutching tightly in anger.
"Well, that's the end of this meeting," said Smoker as he threw the letter at me and dragged Hina away back to their ships.
Ignoring them, I looked at the letter carefully which had a World Government seal before opening it. Inside were a few documents but the one that caught my eye first was my new bounty poster with 400 million beli and the words 'Canceled by the order of the world government.'
"Not bad." I muttered.
-------------------------------------
"Captain, it seems the World Government moved faster than we thought." said a tall pale man wearing an off-white collared long-sleeve shirt patterned with yellow crosses and navy jumper pants as he was playing with his red wooden cane.
"Zehahahahahaha!" laughed the Captain in question holding the newspaper and a bounty, both with the same face on them, "You're right Laffitte, it seems we have to find another way to get into Impel Down."
"Wiiihahaha! Can't you just hypnotize them to open for us, Laffitte." said an unusually large man wearing a dark brown mask with orange decorations on it, which covers the upper part of his face but reveals his eyes and his nose, Jesus Burgess.
"No, I need to infiltrate the Marines for that." responded Laffitte nonchalantly, "But that would be hard."
"Hmmm, it won't if the Marine's attention is elsewhere." muttered Teach aka Blackbeard before he seemed to have an idea, "Zehahahahaha!, I have a plan and this new Warlord has already done the first part for us."
The other Blackbeard members looked at their captain in anticipation because they knew, despite his appearance and mannerisms, Marshal D. Teach is actually a tactical genius.
Teach, reached into his pocket and pulled out another bounty.
'You'll help me this last time won't you, Division Leader.' he thought with a grin as he looked at Portgas D. Ace's bounty as the gears in his mind were shifting.
