As Tsuru's words faded, the vast conference hall fell into an inexplicable oppressive silence.
Faced with the successive emergence of monsters in the sea, even for ordinary navy generals and vice admirals, these situations are extremely troublesome.
In their eyes, not to mention Gladius and Dry Bull, just Charlotte Snack from the Big Mom Pirates' Four Emperors' crew is not something they can easily handle.
Now, however, a suddenly appearing person was defeated with a single punch.
With such a crazy record, if they were to fight, they probably wouldn't be able to do it either.
"Marshal Sengoku, I think this intelligence is only one-sided," Akainu suddenly spoke.
"Don't forget Big News Morgan, who is most skilled at spreading false news."
"This guy, after creating the illusion that Skull Demon and Escanor have a faction behind them, has definitely made a huge profit. Given his personality, it's likely that this ridiculous bald head is just a scheme he and several major forces planned to scare our Marine Headquarters and the World Government, making us wary and cautious."
Hearing this, Akainu snorted coldly and said, "I want to know whether Marshal Sengoku's intelligence has been repeatedly confirmed by the navy or the intelligence agencies of the World Government."
"If it hasn't been confirmed, and you take it out to talk about, and it gets exposed, this is just false information fabricated by Morgan. It could cause our Marine Headquarters to lose face again."
"Moreover, does this ridiculously looking big bald head really have any connection with monsters?"
The navy officers present, their expressions slightly changed.
Akainu's analysis seemed somewhat unreasonable, but it also carried an undeniable truth.
At least, in their eyes, this seemingly foolish guy really has no relation to monsters.
Suddenly, everyone's eyes turned sharply, locking onto Sengoku.
They were eager to find out whether this intelligence could be verified by an authoritative intelligence agency or if it was just a false rumor planned by Big News Morgan.
Feeling the eager gazes around him, Sengoku's expression darkened slightly.
Both pieces of intelligence involved events in the edge sea areas, and his spy organization was quite capable.
However, those two places were major gathering points for pirates, and his people only managed to gather some information and photos through channels.
Currently, it was indeed difficult for him to verify the authenticity of the intelligence in just a moment.
"Gulu Gulu..."
Suddenly, the urgent call from the Den Den Mushi interrupted, instantly stirring everyone's nerves.
Everyone's gaze turned sharply, subconsciously locking onto Tsuru.
At Marine Headquarters, Tsuru, as the Chief of Staff, is responsible for coordinating naval intelligence.
Now, attending this kind of meeting, a Den Den Mushi that isn't turned off probably indicates a serious situation.
"Tsuru, answer the call first," Sengoku took the lead and said.
Right now, monsters are emerging one after another across this vast sea.
Any piece of intelligence cannot be ignored.
"Sorry, it seems there's an emergency," Tsuru casually took out a silver Den Den Mushi and answered it publicly.
However, before she could speak, a hurried voice was heard first.
"Tsuru, something big is happening! Our G7 unit encountered Blackbeard at URI Island, and Rear Admiral Hachisu was heavily injured."
"Whitebeard's Second Division Captain, Fire Fist Ace, then arrived and engaged in a fierce battle with Blackbeard."
"But, within less than two or three minutes of fighting, a big bald head dressed in strange clothes appeared on the battlefield. With overwhelming strength, he defeated Fire Fist Ace and Blackbeard with a single punch, leaving Blackbeard's life or death uncertain. He then took away the unconscious Fire Fist Ace."
"During the fight, he even punched through the sky!"
The urgent words echoed like a spell, reverberating throughout the huge conference hall, lingering for a long time.
The navy generals present, along with Sengoku and Garp, their expressions changed dramatically.
If, just a moment ago, Akainu suspected that the appearance of Saitama was a scheme by Big News Morgan, now, with the navy soldiers witnessing firsthand, the record of heavily injuring Fire Fist Ace and Blackbeard, it proved that this matter was far from simple.
"G7, reply immediately: what methods did Saitama use to defeat Blackbeard and Fire Fist Ace?" Sengoku asked impatiently.
Faced with this sudden scene, everyone present snapped out of their daze and stared at the Den Den Mushi.
"One... one punch! That guy defeated Blackbeard and Fire Fist Ace with one punch! The entire URI Island was mostly destroyed, and Rear Admiral Hachisu's life is uncertain. Please send reinforcements immediately."
Another punch?
Everyone was stunned!
This kind of reply shattered their understanding.
If Gladius and Dry Bull, who were heavily injured by a punch, could still be explained, then now, not only Charlotte Snack, one of the Four Emperors' commanders, was defeated with a punch.
Even Fire Fist Ace and Blackbeard couldn't escape such a fate.
What is the true strength of this big bald head, who looks like a fool?
Suddenly, the large conference hall was filled with an inexplicable oppressive atmosphere.
As if an invisible hand was squeezing everyone's hearts.
As well, even Akainu's face, rarely seen as grim, turned ugly.
"G7, rest assured, I will immediately send reinforcements. Please stay as far away from the battlefield as possible to reduce casualties," Tsuru responded directly, then signaled her subordinate to dispatch personnel.
After finishing this, Tsuru looked at Sengoku and asked, "Marshal Sengoku, what should we do next?"
"This sudden appearance of Saitama, the strength he has shown, is probably not weaker than Escanor. His threat level is very high."
"However, based on the intelligence from the past three days, he has only attacked pirates and has not provoked our Marine Headquarters or the World Government. According to regulations, he can only be considered a bounty hunter for now."
"We cannot issue a bounty immediately; doing so might backfire and cause him to turn hostile toward us."
"Furthermore, I think we should not act rashly before confirming his hostility towards our Marine Headquarters or the World Government."
"At the same time, I have another idea that might be even more beneficial for our Marine Headquarters."
