章 19: Chapter 19
Grand Line, Naval Headquarters, Supreme Meeting Room.
News of the departure of the Akagami pirate group to the Grand Line had reached Marine Headquarters. At that time the currently serving Fleet Admiral, Fleet Admiral Sengoku, received the news. Sengoku immediately gathered all the top Marines. Currently in the meeting room the lowest position is a Rear Admiral while the highest is Fleet Admiral Sengoku.
There were also Vice Admiral Garp, Vice Admiral Tsuru, Admiral Akainu, Admiral Aokiji, and Admiral Borsalino.
"We have now received information that the Akagami pirate group has left the New World and is currently on their way to the Grand Line. No one knows the purpose of the arrival of the Akagami pirate group to the Grand Line. However, the purpose of their arrival should be to meet the former captain of the previous Akagami, Rayleigh, who is currently on Saboundy Island."
*BOOM!*
Akainu immediately slapped the table in front of him with force, "There's no need for a meeting like this, Sengoku-san! We better start making moves now! We can get in the way of the current Akagami pirate group to completely kill them!"
"Ara~ Are you sure you want to do such an act, Sakazuki?" Aokiji who was beside Akainu asked coldly, "Are you sure to fight the entire group of Akagami pirates together with Eagle Eyes and Rayleigh?"
"Hmph! Why did you have to add Eagle Eyes?! He is a Shichibukai. We can ask him to fight with us! If not, just revoke the title given to him! There are already many Shichibukai who don't follow our orders." Akainu was still firm in his stance.
Several Navy officials who have the same understanding or ideology as Akainu support the movement Akainu wants to make.
"The Navy has no right to be able to order the Shichibukai to make moves" Tsuru suddenly said calmly, "They can only be ordered by the World Government. Besides, it was difficult to get Eagle Eyes to fight against Akagami. The two of them have a good relationship."
"Akagami…" Garp's face was now full of gloomy emotions because Akagami himself was the one who had poisoned the thoughts of his grandson.
"Compared to having to fight with the pirate group Akagami, Eagle Eyes, and Rayleigh in which case our combat power will be reduced. We'd better turn our attention to the New World" Tsuru said seriously.
Sengoku nodded, "Due to the departure of Akagami, the territory owned by the Akagami pirate group is currently not guarded by anyone. Certainly the other Sea Emperors would not squander this opportunity to make a move. They will begin to seize the territory belonging to Akagami. We can't pass up this opportunity either. We can use this opportunity to take the territory that belongs to Akagami to increase our influence in the New World."
"Let me go!" Akainu who had previously been rejected by his idea immediately said seriously, "I want to go to carry out this mission"
Aokiji and Kizaru who heard that Akainu wanted to go on this mission immediately became happy. Both are lazy people and are already very famous in the Navy. Of course they certainly wouldn't be running themselves for this task.
Sengoku nodded, "No problem. You are indeed the one who will be assigned to go" Sengoku's gaze looked at Borsalino, "You go with him, Kizaru"
"I?" Borsalino immediately sat up straight in his chair then pointed at himself, "I'm also joining in on the mission this time?"
"Of course" Sengoku looked at Borsalino with a flat look, "Don't make me have to write 100 thousand words of apology for running away from the task given to me earlier"
"But, didn't you say at that time that you would no longer discuss this matter?" Borsalino pursed his lips sadly.
"No Borsalino buts. You should go to help Akainu. On this mission it is an important mission so that we Navy can increase our influence in the New World. Surely the pirates wouldn't let this happen. If only Akainu goes, it will be difficult for him to fight with a large number of pirate troops especially those under the Sea Emperor's power."
"Why doesn't Aokiji just go?" Borsalino asked again.
Aokiji was intrigued by this and looked at Sengoku.
"Aokiji will be assigned the task of supervising the Akagami pirate group."
Sengoku himself had predicted this. Akainu is someone who is warm-blooded. It must have been at the sight of the Akagami pirate group or seeing their weak points. Akainu would definitely not hesitate to attack. As for Kizaru, this person is very lazy and will probably forget the task assigned to him. The task of supervising was very suitable to be given to Aokiji.
Garp who heard that Aokiji would get this task was very happy. Because then, he had a reason to come along and also try to hit the head of Shanks who had previously poisoned the mind of his grandson.
As for Aokiji himself he was quite happy to get this task. The task of monitoring is an easy task for him and the Akagami pirate group is a pirate group that is quite different from other pirate groups. They rarely make a fuss and only often do parties.
"You are very lucky Kuzan" Borsalino said while pursed his lips, "How about we share errands with each other? You went with Sakazuki to take the territory belonging to the Akagami pirate group while I carried out surveillance on them"
"Ara~ I think the offer is difficult to make, Borsalino" Aokiji smiled as he continued, "Besides, I prefer to do monitoring duty compared to battle duty"
"Haaa~" Borsalino couldn't help but sigh and there was no object of bargaining over this matter.
The meeting continued by selecting anyone who went along with Akainu and Borsalino in the task of seizing the territory owned by the Akagami pirate group. It didn't take long for the personnel to be selected. The people who participated were the Vice Admirals who were directly under Akainu and also several Vice Admirals who were directly under Borsalino.
After the meeting was over, everyone immediately left the room where Garp also walked towards Aokiji, "Hey, Kuzan. Let this old man come with you."
"Ara~ Garp-san wants to come along? Has Sengoku-san allowed it?" Aokiji asked strangely while looking at Garp.
"There's no need to think about that. Sengoku will definitely allow that." Gaarp said calmly with a confident smile.
"Well, if Sengoku-san doesn't have a problem with that. Alright." Aokiji didn't think much of that right and immediately went with Garp to Saboundy Island.
Meanwhile in the meeting room, Sengoku and Tsuru are currently talking about the moves made by Akagami.
"There must be some reason to make Akagami leave the New World, Sengoku" Tsuru said seriously, "There's no way someone like him would easily leave the new world just because of a request from Eagle Eyes to meet Rayleigh. Otherwise, Eagle Eyes would have asked Akagami for that long ago."
"I think so" Sengoku thought seriously about it until he saw that there was no Garp with them at the moment, "Where is Garp?" Sengoku asked.
"Garp?" Tsuru suddenly woke up and saw that his friend was nowhere to be found.
"Oh no" Sengoku's face immediately changed as he remembered something, "Damn Garp! Does he want to go see Akagami?!"
"What's wrong, Sengoku? Why is your face scared like that?" Tsuru asked strangely.
Tsuru himself doesn't know about Garp and Akagami's problems. However, Sengoku knows this because he has received direct stories from Garp about Garp's anger towards Akagami for the reason that his grandson had his thoughts poisoned by Akagami.
"That bastard! Garp will definitely fight Akagami! Garp has a grudge against Akagami because Akagami has brainwashed Garp's grandson to become a pirate" Sengoku said seriously.
"Ah, this is going to be really troublesome" Tsuru said with a sigh, "There's no way we'll be able to hold off Garp this time, Sengoku. There was a possibility that he was already going along with Kuzan by now. We can only hope that Kuzan can stop Garp from fighting Akagami."
Sengoku's face was full of bitterness and nodded, "Hopefully"
