"Bang!" Sengoku slammed his fist on the table, his face ashen. He knew something would happen!
"Bwahahahaha!" Garp laughed happily. "It's so funny. They had one job, to not provoke that kid."
"Garp, get out!" Sengoku roared at Garp. His head was throbbing with worry, and this scoundrel was still making sarcastic remarks. It was true that not provoking the other party would be enough, but who could restrain the Celestial Dragons? Those idiots—err, the Celestial Dragons—didn't know fear at all! Let the Five Elders worry about this! War was approaching, and the Marines couldn't deal with two Yonko crews at the same time.
Sengoku calmed himself down. "I received classified intelligence. Daichi the Destroyer's goal this time is to hunt down Blackbeard."
"Blackbeard?" The Admirals and officers present all looked over. When Daichi the Destroyer appeared, they had been worried about his purpose. After all, Daichi the Destroyer had a good relationship with the Whitebeard Pirates. If he assisted Whitebeard in attacking Marine Headquarters, the consequences would be unimaginable. Now they were told that Daichi was after mere Blackbeard.
Although Blackbeard had gained fame by capturing Fire Fist Ace, before that, Blackbeard was an unknown nobody. If it weren't for the Beast Pirates' one billion Berry bounty, few people would have heard his name. With the power of the Beasts, dealing with a mere Blackbeard, even if there was a real grudge, it wouldn't be necessary to choose this time to retaliate.
Tsuru frowned. "Could it be false intelligence deliberately released by him?"
"Cannot be confirmed for now." Sengoku shook his head. Releasing false intelligence to confuse opponents is a common strategy, especially in war. He couldn't guarantee the intelligence was true either. Now, they could only closely monitor Daichi the Destroyer.
Sabaody Archipelago, Grove 24
Daichi didn't know where Straw Hat was, so he wandered back to Grove 24. This island had the most shops and was a standard commercial street, with several Supernovas also here. The main reason was that he was hungry. However, he miscalculated. The entire island was in chaos, with Marines and pirates everywhere. The shops dared not do business and were all closed. But this didn't stump Daichi.
"Excuse me!" Daichi roughly pushed open a restaurant door. The restaurant staff hid under the counter, poking out half their heads, vigorously shaking their hands to indicate they weren't open for business today. They were quite cute. Daichi laughed and walked towards the rooftop.
"Kikara."
"Please wait, Daichi-sama." Without needing the restaurant staff, Kikara quickly tidied up the tables and chairs, brewed black tea, and then went to the kitchen to prepare food. Soon, a delicious lunch was ready.
Daichi ate his steak and looked at the street. Two figures were fighting. One was the Eccentric Monk Urouge, and the other wore black and white clothing with bear paw patterns all over him. "Kuma? No, it's a Pacifista." Daichi watched with interest. Only two years had passed since Kuma became a Warlord, and the Pacifista could already be put into practical combat. The efficiency was astonishing. He wondered about their combat power.
"Boom!!!" An explosion occurred on the other side. Judging from the scale of the explosion and the aura of a powerful individual, it seemed to be Admiral Kizaru.
"It was indeed the right choice to come here." A smile appeared in Daichi's eyes. Enjoying lunch and a wonderful show, and meeting an old acquaintance along the way, it was a very comfortable arrangement. The only unpleasant thing was an annoying newcomer on the opposite building who was staring at him, seemingly with ill intentions.
Daichi glared at the other party. "Roaring Sea" Apoo, bounty 198 million Berries. He was a scumbag who deserved a beating!
"Daichi!" Ulti and Page One also found their way over, leaping across the rooftops, and soon arrived in front of Daichi, their faces full of dissatisfaction. They hadn't been exploring for long before a commotion broke out on the island. The siblings discussed it and decided to come back to Daichi. They were here to protect him!
"Oh, so many newcomers!" Ulti looked down at the street. "It's the Eccentric Monk Urouge, and the Magician Hawkins. Why is a Warlord here too? That's Admiral Kizaru!" Upon seeing Kizaru, the siblings' eyes immediately turned red. The memory of being kicked flying on Hachinosu surged into their minds.
Ulti and Page One exchanged glances. Revenge! The siblings transformed without hesitation, their bodies shooting towards Kizaru like cannonballs, their claws wrapped in Haki.
"Ulti Meteor!"
"Spinosaurus Flying Kick!"
Kizaru looked up at the sky, watching the siblings suddenly appear, utterly surprised.
"Boom!!!" The ground shattered, and smoke and dust soared into the sky! The Supernovas fighting the Pacifistas were all startled.
A moment later, Kizaru walked out of the explosion's smoke and dust, without a single scratch on him. Looking at the fiercely glaring siblings, his eyes behind his glasses were quite serious.
"How scary, Beast Pirates."
"Stop feigning ignorance!" Ulti and Page One attacked furiously. "Kizaru, we're ten times stronger than before! If you dare to underestimate us again, I'll kill you!"
"You'd have to be able to catch me first." Kizaru easily dodged, showing no intention of counterattacking. If possible, he didn't want to clash with the Beasts. This was not within his duties. After playing for a while, Kizaru raised his hand.
"Yata no Kagami!" His figure instantly vanished, causing the siblings to miss their target. The next moment, a golden light appeared on the rooftop where Daichi was. Kizaru stared at Daichi. He had felt an unusual aura just now, but he hadn't had time to pay attention to it. He hadn't expected it to be Daichi.
Daichi slightly raised his head. "Long time no see, Kizaru."
"Daichi the Destroyer!" Kizaru felt it was troublesome. After not seeing him for many days, Daichi felt much stronger than before. This calm and composed attitude wasn't a disguise, but confidence. If this guy interfered, today's mission would probably be ruined.
Daichi smiled and asked, "Kizaru, why are you wasting time with these newcomers here instead of catching the Straw Hat? If you dawdle any longer, the Straw Hat will escape."
"I want to go too, but my subordinate hasn't contacted me, and I don't know where the Straw Hat is right now." Kizaru sighed in distress. The primary goal this time was naturally to capture the Straw Hat, but he couldn't contact Sentomaru, so he could only wander aimlessly. Since he was watching anyway, he might as well not let go of the newcomers he encountered.
Kizaru looked at the Supernovas. The Eccentric Monk's body had expanded several times, temporarily suppressing the Pacifista. Hawkins took a few of his lasers and seemed unharmed, and there was also the intruding X Drake. "Each of them is like a monster." Of course, the most troublesome one was Daichi the Destroyer.
Kizaru turned his head. "Can we pretend we didn't meet?"
"Of course." Daichi mischievously pointed to the east. "Let me give you some intelligence. The Straw Hat fled to the east. You go catch the Straw Hat, and I'll handle these newcomers. How about it?"
Kizaru thought for a moment and nodded. If he couldn't catch the Straw Hat, he couldn't explain it to the Celestial Dragons. As for a few Supernovas, losing a bit of performance was nothing. Light appeared, and Kizaru vanished.
Daichi looked to the east, vaguely seeing a golden flash.
So fast!
