We go back in time a little.
Far away at Naval Headquarters, Marineford.
Inside the messy office on the top floor of the majestic and solemn Naval Headquarters building.
"Huh..." Sengoku took a deep breath, clapped his hands, and let out a long sigh of relief. He didn't even look at Garp, who lay there with a bruised face and a bruised face, pretending to be dead. He adjusted his clothes and sat back in his seat as if nothing had happened.
"But... speaking of which, what is going on with these troublesome guys in the Straw Hat Pirates?" The Fleet Admiral had a serious look on his face.
Frowning, he put his hands on the desk: "There have been constant troubles for three days, and they have never stopped..."
"Also, why did Blood Demon Ren appear there... Shouldn't their Straw Hat Crew be heading towards the Water 7?"
Based on information compiled by the Marine Intelligence Department, after breaking into the first half of the Grand Line, the Straw Hat Pirates chose the seventh route.
But according to the route chosen by the Straw Hat Crew, shouldn't they have already started heading towards the Water 7?
Moreover, the Bocris Sea area where Stainless' fleet is located is not on the seventh route at all. To say, it's closer to Alabasta.
But such a distance cannot be reached in just three to five days. One has to go all the way back.
"The report said that there was only 'Blood Demon' Ren, and a woman who was suspected to be his accomplice. No other members of the Straw Hat Pirates were seen..." Tsuru looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "But there is one thing we have to pay attention to. That guy must have gained an incredible devil fruit!"
Saying this, she directly put a few photos on the desk and motioned to the two of them.
"This is the photo faxed back by Stainless' fleet earlier. Take a look at it!" Sengoku and Garp were stunned.
Looking over subconsciously, their pupils couldn't help but shrink: "That's..."
They saw the photo. A huge scaly beast bathed in blazing flames came into their eyes. It stepped on the auspicious clouds and was stands high in the sky. Its momentum was extremely amazing.
"It should be the same as Sengoku, a Mythical Zoan that is even rarer than Logia..." Tsuru said directly. She believes that the other party's strength is anything but simple. Obviously it is no longer something that an ordinary Vice Admiral can handle.
"His whole body is bathed in flames, and he can still stay in mid-air..."
"Judging from the information in the photo alone, that guy most likely has the ability to control fire and fly. What a terrifying monster!" Sengoku's face was full of solemnity.
In order to hide his Lunarian identity, he also honed himself to the greatest extent. Ren, who has always been cautious by nature, has rarely shown his ability to control fire in front of others.
After all, he would not show his trump card foolishly and let the enemy fully understand his strength unless necessary.
Until now, even the Naval Headquarters, which had extremely strong intelligence capabilities, didn't know that Blood Demon Ren could control fire before he ate his Devil Fruit.
"'Blood Demon' Hirotaka Ren, this guy is too murderous..." At this time, Garp, in an embarrassed state, got up.
He couldn't help but frown and said: "If I remember correctly, starting from joining the Straw Hat Crew in Logue town, he went to places like the Whiskey Peak, the Drum Kingdom, Alabasta, and Jaya Island, and then to the G-8 branch a few days ago. ...Most of the murders were caused by him!"
"I can't understand how Luffy's personality can be mixed up with such a guy!" Although he ran out to sea and became a pirate, Garp still knows his grandson's character very well. That kid is carefree, sometimes mischievous, always talking about wanting to be the Pirate King, and he also likes to take risks but he is definitely not the kind of person who liked wars, was bloodthirsty or did whatever he wanted with his strength.
"It seems that that kid is indeed more dangerous than we thought..." Sengoku on the side couldn't help but snort coldly.
He did not try to squeeze Garp anymore and went straight to Vice Admiral Tsuru and asked in a deep voice: "Tsuru, can the nearby branch base have time to support Stainless and the others?"
The Vice Admiral of Naval Headquarters is the backbone of Marine. Each of them is a master who has experienced many battles, has considerable strength, and can skillfully use Observation Haki & Armament Haki.
Generally speaking, there is basically no pressure on them when dealing with rookies who have not yet entered the New World.
Moreover, Stainless' strength, even among the Vice Admirals at Naval Headquarters, is above average and belongs to the relatively elite group.
But it was obvious that his fleet had suffered heavy losses and he began to ask for help from the headquarters. That means that the strength of the "Blood Demon" Ren has become so strong that they cannot resist, and the entire fleet may be annihilated.
Although the fleet led by Stainless was initially deployed to destroy the Tiger Shark Pirates, which was not a big threat, it was not large in scale.
But the total number of people was at least two thousand. Naturally, he, the Fleet Admiral, could not just sit idly by.
"As for that sea area, the G-2 branch is relatively close, but it should take three days at the fastest to get there..." Tsuru also had a serious face and said without hesitation: "As for the G-3 branch, it will take five days at the earliest... If the headquarters directly sends a fleet there, it will take ten days at the fastest!"
"If Admiral Aokiji rushes from Naval Headquarters non-stop regardless of consumption, it should be faster!" There was a brief pause.
Tsuru gave advice: "Besides, that Hirotaka Ren is very dangerous now. Only when Aokiji confronts him can we be sure of victory!" As the Chief Staff Officer of Naval Headquarters, she has already considered this in advance.
But Tsuru obviously didn't know that Aokiji, the Marine Admiral who was supposed to be on duty and responsible for the headquarters, was not on call at Naval Headquarters at all.
Although he has a lazy personality on weekdays, he is generally conscientious and rarely has any problems at work. He unexpectedly left his post without permission and sneaked out.
"In addition, Stainless' fleet did report just now that they heard the guy from 'Blood Demon' Ren personally admit that he had quit the Straw Hat Pirates, but it has not been confirmed yet..."
Glancing at Garp, his old friend, Vice Admiral Tsuru added: "Perhaps as you said, Garp, Hirotaka Ren had a conflict with the rest of the Straw Hat Crew because of their incompatibility!"
"In other words, that guy probably left the Straw Hat Crew directly after gaining powerful abilities?" Sengoku frowned and stared at the picture of the flame beast.
He was not surprised by this situation. These are pirates who are not engaged in production but go out to sea in the name of free adventure, burning, killing, looting, and causing trouble everywhere.
In the final analysis, they are just a group of evil parties who gather together for their own interests, and they are not noble and righteous people.
After some pirates gain powerful abilities, they feel that their weaker companions are no longer worthy of being with them, and it is not uncommon for them to leave the team and work alone.
"Brannew..." Sengoku didn't delay any longer and made a quick decision.
He directly gave the order to Brannew, who had just walked in and had not yet had time to salute: "Inform Aokiji immediately and ask him to rush to the sea area of Bocris as soon as possible to support Stainless and the others... I hope its not too late!"
"If he encounters Ren, the vice-captain of the Straw Hat Pirates, he must catch him!" Regardless of whether Hirotaka Ren left the Straw Hat Crew or not.
The vice-captain of the Straw Hat Pirates has considerable strength at such a young age, and has also acquired the rare ability of a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit.
His potential is amazing. Far better than other new pirates who had a bounty of over 100 million in the same period and were known as "Supernovas".
Even in terms of strength and abilities, he is no worse than "Fire Fist" Ace who refused the Marines' invitation to the Seven Warlords of the Sea three years ago and turned to join the Whitebeard Pirates.
Moreover, he was still a heinous thug. If the Marines continue to let him grow, Sengoku was afraid he will become a big trouble soon.
"Huh?" Brannew, who had just been about to report to the Fleet Admiral that he could not contact Admiral Aokiji, was suddenly confused and startled.
"I'm very sorry, Fleet Admiral Sengoku..." Brannew was sweating profusely and busy there Kaidō: "We can't contact Aokiji Admiral at all now!"
"What!?" Sengoku's face turned dark and he cursed loudly.
A Naval Headquarters Lieutenant Commander ran over sweating profusely.
After a hurried salute, he ignored Vice Admiral Tsuru, Hero Garp and others beside him, and reported in a panic: "Fleet Admiral Sengoku, it's not good..."
"Just now, the vivre card of Vice Admiral Stainless was burned to ashes!"
"What!?" Hearing this——
Sengoku, Garp, Tsuru and others.
All of them couldn't help but change their expressions.
"Hirotaka Ren...that bastard!!"
