Marineford in Sharingan, Uchiha Admiral

Lu Qi slowly lowered his fingers.

"Feel sorry……"

The oppressive feeling that had been pressing down on him suddenly dissipated, and a gentle smile returned to Allen's face, as if he hadn't said those words at all.

"We are all comrades who have gathered together for the sake of the great Celestial Dragon, so don't be too impulsive, Lucci."

Lucci nodded honestly: "I understand, I was too impulsive..."

He turned to Dol and bowed slightly: "I'm sorry!!"

This cheetah behaved like a domesticated cat.

……

……

Dol looked at Allen, bewildered.

Wait a minute... wasn't I the one who started the provocation?

I was the one who struck the first pose...

He's already apologized, so should I...?

"Alright, let me show you the food at headquarters first. I'm quite familiar with the cook, and today we're having a special treat: sea king meat!"

……

Allen's favoritism was too obvious.

Even the branch officers looked at Lucci with a hint of pity.

At the same time, there is also pride.

Even if you're some big shot in headquarters, in Allen's eyes, you're still not as important as us!

evening.

Naval Headquarters, Criminal Investigation Bureau.

Tensei stood at the window, watching the naval warships sail out of the harbor, his eyes deep and thoughtful.

The door opened, and a tall figure walked in.

"They've set off?"

The sound alone is enough to convey a heavy, oppressive power, like that of a suppressed volcano.

He wore a dark red suit with a rose pinned to his chest, a design incongruous with his fierce appearance.

He wore a naval cap and had his iconic admiral's coat draped over his back.

The unconsciously emanating aura put the Heavenly Government on edge.

The Navy's top combat force, Admiral of the Headquarters, codenamed Akainu...

Sakazuki!!

……

Tenma turned around: "Yes, Mr. Sakazuki."

Sakazuki naturally took the main seat and spoke slowly, "Tenjō, after getting to know him for a while, what kind of person do you think he is?"

……

After a moment of silence, Tianzheng spoke.

"He is very smart. He can analyze and process the information I give him in a reasonable way, showing a level of ability far beyond that of an average branch base leader."

"It goes without saying that their strength is beyond question. Compared to pirates, our Navy, due to its long training period, generally does not have teenagers who reach a high level of marine."

"I can sense that he's just one opportunity away from mastering Observation Haki."

"His ancient Zoan-type talent guarantees that he will definitely master Armament Haki after a period of training."

"He's a genius who can at least reach the level of a lieutenant general!"

……

A vice admiral is already a powerful figure standing above millions of others. Even in the New World, where powerful individuals abound, he is qualified to serve as a base commander and hold a prominent position.

"Whether it's his intelligence, strength, or personality... I can't see any flaws in him."

After a moment of contemplation, Tianzheng spoke again.

"He's too perfect. In my opinion, he's almost the perfect rising star in the Navy!"

……

……

The smoke from the cigar billowed out like a dragon, blurring Sakassky's face.

"Really? Looks like a kid who's good at acting."

After saying that, he shook his head again: "No, if you're really good at acting, you'll at least give yourself one or two personality flaws."

"No one would play the role of a perfect person in every aspect."

Sakazuki's lips twitched slightly as he said calmly, "I've investigated his experiences in the West Sea. Perhaps it's because of what happened in his childhood that he deliberately tries to maintain a perfect image when entering a new environment..."

……

On this vast ocean, when you talk about places like taverns, you think of pirates or the underworld.

Allen is from the Flower Country and used to work at a tavern in the royal capital.

Apart from the royal family's businesses, all other profit-making entities in the Flower Kingdom belong to the official violent group "Eight Treasures Water Army".

The legendary pirate "Chinjao the Cone," whose head was once dented by a punch from Garp, is the 12th leader of this violent gang.

The Happo Navy will be recognized as a pirate crew as soon as they leave the Flower Country.

……

So strictly speaking, Allen's background can be linked to pirates, and it's not exactly clean.

Of course, the Navy doesn't have such strict screening. There are plenty of people in the Navy who can be associated with pirates, and some are even former pirates. They won't do anything to Allen because of that.

Sakazuki's interest in this branch colonel stemmed from Smoker.

Smoker was known as the mad dog of the Navy due to his maverick and unruly personality, and was disliked.

This resulted in him having attended Zephyr's training course and being a rare Logia-type Devil Fruit user, yet promotion remained extremely difficult.

Sakazuki really liked Smoker's personality.

If he were a naval admiral, he would definitely assign this highly righteous talent to serve as the base commander in the New World.

If all the navy personnel were like this, then more people could be protected from the harassment of those despicable pirates!

……

That's how complicated the relationships between people are.

Sakazuki dislikes Kuzan, but highly values ​​Smoker, who is Kuzan's friend.

"He's a man who would have succeeded anywhere, and Smoker led him onto the right path."

Sakazuki stood up and said in a deep voice, "Fleet Admiral Sengoku intends to use the Charlia Palace as bait to lure out that guy who hunts Celestial Dragons."

"This operation is too challenging for him. Tianzheng, you go there yourself and protect them secretly."

"I will not leave headquarters for the next few days. I will arrive there immediately should any incident occur."

……

"It's been a long time since I've seen Mr. Sakazuki care about someone so much." Tenma smiled slightly.

Sakazuki scoffed, "He just wants to get this mess over with as soon as possible."

"A mere brat has caused the Navy to launch a massive manhunt. Who knows how many pirates have been running rampant during this time."

On the warship bound for the Sabaody Archipelago, Lucci was furious as he looked at the newspaper that the news bird had just delivered.

"What on earth is that Sengoku guy trying to do?! Who gave him the guts?!"

How dare he address the marshal by his given name... Is this guy really some important figure?

And how could someone like that be willing to obey Colonel Allen and make a name for himself at headquarters in just one month?

Allen noticed the contents of the newspaper and raised an eyebrow.

-

"Charlie Palace will... arrive in the Sabaody Archipelago..."

The report not only precisely stated the time and place, but also mentioned the recent murder of a Celestial Dragon. Overall, it conveyed the same message.

Hey, you love to show off, don't you? You love livestreaming, don't you?

Don't you like to wait at the scene of the crime for your general?

This time, our navy has set up a stage for you. If you have the guts, come and give it a try.

Of course, I think you probably wouldn't dare.

After all, the locations you chose to commit the crimes were all far from Marine Headquarters. You're just a cowardly coward with no guts, zero ability in direct combat, and utterly despicable...

……

Anyone with eyes can see that this report is the Navy's declaration of war against Kari.

No wonder Lucci was so angry. Sengoku's actions were undoubtedly a sting operation, using the noble Celestial Dragons as bait!

"Damn it! This is utter disrespect to the Charlia Palace! He's trampling on the dignity of the Celestial Dragons! He...he..."

Lucci looked at Allen.

"Sorry... brother, I didn't expect the Warring States to be so shameless, which has unnecessarily increased the difficulty of your mission."

……

……

No, this was an unexpected and excellent assist.

I've been having pretty good luck lately...

Allen stroked his chin, and upon hearing Lucci's words, patted him on the shoulder in comfort.

"Didn't we already prepare ourselves to confront that assailant?"

He looked at the coastline of the Sabaody Archipelago appearing in the distance and smiled, "Don't worry..."

"No one will get hurt."

"Because I am here."
