"That lieutenant, huh..."
Akainu nodded slightly.
If that lieutenant can undergo training, he could at least showcase the power of a Vice Admiral or higher. If his talent is strong enough, he might even become an Admiral in the future.
"Sakazuki."
Vice Admiral Tsuru raised her eyebrows, her gaze falling on Akainu: "Once Lieutenant Akihara Kagura graduates from Zephyr's training camp, he will be directly sent to serve at your side as your deputy, and you'll train him. How about that?"
"Alright."
Akainu nodded in agreement.
This kind of minor matter...
It was of no consequence to him.
Akihara Kagura is a promising Logia-type Fruit user. Akainu also hopes that Akihara Kagura will grow to stand by his side in the future, executing absolute justice with him, and together they would clear the seas of all pirates!
"Speaking of which..."
"Where could Sea King Poseidon be?"
Admiral Kizaru didn't partake in these discussions. He was merely looking curiously at the screen of the Image Radio Snail, watching the clown Buggy, who had been awarded the winner of the hunting game: "This pirate called Buggy is quite terrifying. He was the first to make a move and kill a World Noble. On Sky Island, he even killed over two hundred World Nobles, and now he's about to discover the whereabouts of Sea King Poseidon..."
"..."
Everyone in the Navy conference room turned serious.
To be honest...
Judging by Buggy's track record...
Buggy's level of threat and trouble was second only to the Konoha Pirates...
After all, it started when Clown Buggy assassinated the first Heavenly Celestial Dragon; the untouchable status of the Celestial Dragons began to crumble. Even without the sudden rise of the Konoha Pirates, more people would soon be bold enough to assassinate the Celestial Dragons...
On Sky Island.
The reward for the winner of the hunting game was about to be awarded.
However, the winner, Clown Buggy, refused to accept the reward. He simply held his trophy and asked a question, wearing a wildly arrogant grin: "I heard you've captured Shanks and want to sell him off as a slave, but can we use the winner's reward to trade him? I don't want any Ancient Weapons' whereabouts, but can you give me Shanks and let me take him down instead..."
"Hey, hey, hey, Captain Buggy!"
Mr. 3 Gardino was startled and hurriedly tried to stop Clown Buggy, hoping the captain wouldn't take the wrong path, lest they forget that only Sea King Poseidon can guarantee their lives!
However...
Clown Buggy no longer cared about any Ancient Weapons.
In Clown Buggy's heart now, he only sought revenge against Red-haired Shanks, and his face was full of a sinister and terrifying smile. It seemed he had some cruel and inhumane means he wanted to unleash on Red-haired Shanks...
"What a loyal Captain Buggy!"
A pirate, tears streaming down his face, praised Clown Buggy's actions: "To save a former pirate crew's childhood friend, he's willing to give up the legendary Ancient Weapons, even though I don't know what they are!"
"Captain Buggy truly is amazing..."
Another pirate also started wiping their tears.
"This is the Captain Buggy we follow!"
Even a pirate waved their arms, stubbornly and tear-filled, shouting their loyalty to Buggy towards the sky, which was echoed by other pirates with cheers for Clown Buggy!
"No... no... wait..."
The astonishment on Clown Buggy's face didn't even have time to react before he was surrounded by his subordinates, who were sobbing and pledging their loyalty around him, vowing to follow him to death.
What are these foolish subordinates doing!
How did he end up on their pedestal again!
"Hey."
"Captain Buggy."
"We owe you a big one."
Ben Beckman, the Vice Captain of the Red Hair Pirates, walked over solemnly, making a promise: "If you ever need help, no matter what trouble you get into, no matter how far away you are, we'll come to your aid!"
"Even if it's attacking Marineford, you can count us in!"
Lucky Roux stood beside Ben Beckman, also making his promise.
"Captain Buggy."
The sniper of the Red Hair Pirates, Yasopp, held his sniper rifle, a slight smile on his lips: "Even if you get captured by an Admiral and imprisoned in Impel Down, we'll fight to get you out..."
"There's no need for that..."
The smile on Clown Buggy's face appeared particularly unnatural.
"Our captain is the most righteous!"
Mr. 3 Gardino grabbed Buggy's arm, standing by his side with a smile, whispering to him: "The Red Hair Pirates are one of the Four Emperors' Pirates... using the whereabouts of the Ancient Weapons for their promise isn't a loss either..."
