At the same time, at the Marine Headquarters' estuary, Sengoku stood on the high platform with a gloomy expression.
Not long ago, he had been in this place, mobilizing and cheering up the Marine soldiers.
He had planned to encircle and suppress the great pirate of the old era to save the face that the Marine had lost.
He had never expected that a Skeletal Demon would emerge at the last moment.
What's more, he had displayed unprecedented methods and rubbed the Marine's face hard on the floor.
"Fleet Admiral Sengoku, Admiral Akainu and the others have returned." A huge giant figure walked quickly from behind.
He eventually stopped at Sengoku's side.
Due to the past human trafficking of giants, the Marine Headquarters had also obtained a lot of giant combat power.
This time, to encircle and suppress Vald, many Marine vice admirals had been dispatched.
But because the giants' size was too large, they hadn't accompanied them. Most of the time, they served to guard the headquarters.
Watching Sengoku, who had a gloomy face, Lonz couldn't help but ask, "Fleet Admiral Sengoku, is the information true?"
"The two leaders of the Giant Warrior Pirates, who had been missing for over a hundred years, not only didn't die, but they also joined the Skeletal Demon?"
Hmm? Sengoku suddenly looked up and said, "Lonz, I know that Blue Ogre Dorry and Red Ogre Brogy are the heroes of your Elbaf, but don't forget that they are now pirates, and you are a Marine."
"However, since your Elbaf was destroyed and the two giant elders were killed, although you still have the Giant Kingdom led by Prince Loki, the giants' strength has also been greatly reduced. Without systematic guidance experience, even learning giant combat techniques has become difficult."
"I heard that a new Giant Warrior Pirates has emerged on the sea recently. The leader is a guy named Hajrudin, who seems to be able to use your giants' combat technique, Hero's Spear!"
Hajrudin? Lonz was stunned for a moment and said, "I remember that kid. Back then, he was pestering the two elders, clamoring to surpass the two leaders. The degree of his hard work was stronger than anyone else. It's really touching that he can learn Hero's Spear. It's a pity that he only hopes to become a pirate, otherwise he would be much stronger than me and John if he was placed in the Marine."
"The giants' combat techniques have been passed down from generation to generation, so it's very difficult to explore on your own. I didn't expect that the two leaders, who had disappeared for a hundred years, had also learned advanced Haki. If it were me, I would be willing to spend twenty years."
Learn Haki in twenty years? Sengoku's cheeks twitched slightly.
Only giants, whose lifespans could reach three hundred years, could say this kind of thing without feeling pain.
If it were someone else, they would have already passed their peak period or kicked the bucket on the sea.
Of course, Lonz couldn't be blamed for this.
Heaven had given giants extraordinary strength and physique, but the difficulty of learning Haki was more than twice as strong as ordinary people.
After all, not everyone was Dorry and Brogy, who had dueled for a hundred years and fought more than 70,000 times, and had already figured out the foundation of the giants.
Paired with the precise Haki learning method provided by the system, everything came naturally.
"Alright, I've already made an appointment with Zephyr. After Kai arrives, we'll see if there's a good way to learn it. If you giants can also learn Haki, even if it's the most superficial Haki, it would be best for our Marine's strength to be improved." Sengoku sighed and looked up at the approaching warship.
Right now, the successive defeats and the emergence of the so-called new Five Emperors had made the challenge to the Marine Headquarters more and more severe.
If they didn't find a solution in time, it was likely that the Marine Headquarters would have a hard time dealing with the waves that were rolling up on this sea.
"I object!"
An awe-inspiring voice came from the sea.
Sengoku and Lonz's expressions changed slightly, and they hurriedly followed the sound.
What first caught their eyes was Akainu, who had an unusually gloomy expression.
Faced with the Tengai Shinsei, they had returned alive, but out of the fifteen warships that had set out, this lineup was equivalent to a Buster Call.
Right now, only four warships had returned.
As the commander of this mission, Akainu felt as if his face had been rubbed on the ground afterward.
"Akainu, what are you objecting to?" Sengoku frowned. The thing that he was most worried about had still happened.
As a Marine admiral and someone whom Sengoku had watched grow up, he deeply knew that Akainu upheld so-called absolute justice.
In the original work, there had once been a sentence.
The person who truly became a pirate was Blackbeard, and the person who truly became a Marine was Akainu!
One was extremely dark, and the other was extremely just. They were the symbols of the One Piece world.
"Objecting to what?" Akainu's face darkened, and he shouted sternly, "Fleet Admiral Sengoku, aren't you planning to invite that guy Zephyr and invite some Kai to join the Marine Headquarters and become a recruit instructor?"
"Didn't he claim to have killed the Shichibukai Crocodile? Now Crocodile has been resurrected and has even intervened, ruining our plan to encircle and suppress Vald. This kid with an unknown origin isn't worth trusting at all!"
The awe-inspiring words echoed on the huge port.
Faced with Akainu's reply, which was a godsend, the people who were present were dumbfounded.
Even an admiral was shifting the blame! But could this blame-shifting technique be better?
"Hmph, Akainu, your Haki hasn't improved, but your means of shifting the blame have!" A hoarse voice came from the more distant sea without any ambiguity.
The sudden scene made everyone stunned. After seeing who had come, their faces revealed bitterness.
If Garp could ridicule the admirals in the Marine Headquarters, then the person who was most qualified to scold the Marine Headquarters' admirals was Zephyr, who was the chief instructor of the recruits.
"Yo yo, Teacher Zephyr, I didn't expect that you would personally come to the Headquarters. Akainu was just complaining just now, so teacher, you don't need to be serious." Kizaru hurriedly spoke to smooth things over.
As Zephyr's disciples, what they mainly cultivated was Devil Fruit abilities, which deviated from Zephyr's martial arts philosophy.
Conflicts often occurred in the recruit camp.
Right now, Akainu had suffered losses in succession, so Kizaru was worried that they would have to step in to mediate if they disagreed.
"Zephyr, old man, why aren't you staying properly in the Marine recruit camp and running to this place? Is it still for that so-called Kai?" Akainu's face darkened, and he shouted sternly.
"What can a kid who still has milk on his breath change about the Marine?"
"Can he defeat the Four Emperors, or can he defeat the so-called new Five Emperors Skeletal Demon? If he can't, then what's the point of having him!"
The rolling words made the people in the field look at each other in dismay.
It was undoubtedly difficult to answer Akainu's fallacious arguments.
After all, the identity of an admiral was placed here.
Looking at Akainu, who had an angry face, Sengoku subconsciously looked at Zephyr.
