Recruit Luffy at the start and build the strongest navy.

As Kyle communicated with the system to abandon the recruitment mission, the recruitment mission for Uta disappeared from the system's mission panel.

That's right, recruitment tasks can be abandoned. The system only detects geniuses that can be recruited. Whether or not Kyle wants to recruit them is up to him.

About an hour later, Uta came out of the cabin, came to Kyle, and bowed to him.

"Thank you!"

Kyle raised an eyebrow.

"I beat up your adoptive fathers and was about to send them to Impel Down, and now you're thanking me?"

"They're pirates, it's only right that you captured them. When I said thank you, I meant you were willing to let me see them!"

Kyle narrowed his eyes and gave Uta a deep look.

"They're pirates, it's only right that I captured them"—this doesn't sound like something Uta would say.

It was probably the red-haired guys who taught her. Kyle didn't know what they were saying inside, as he didn't use his Observation Haki to sense it.

There's no need for that; he wouldn't do something like that.

Kyle didn't say anything more. Whatever the redheads and the others said to Uta, or how they spoke to her, was none of his business.

Since Uta refused to join the navy, he naturally didn't need to pay too much attention to her.

Under Kyle's command, the warship arrived at the coast of Eligia Island. After dropping Uta off, Uta once again expressed his gratitude to Kyle and the many naval personnel.

Kyle glanced at her and said calmly:

"I hope you don't appear before me as a pirate next time we meet, otherwise Impel Down will be reserved for you too!"

After saying that, the warship slowly sailed away, heading into the distance, its shadow growing smaller and smaller on the horizon.

Uta stood on the shore, watching the warship slowly disappear from sight, a faint smile appearing on her lips, and murmured softly:

"Well, Kyle might have to disappoint you. Next time we meet, I'll be a pirate!"

The next time I see her, she'll be the singer of the Red-Haired Pirates.

She was waiting for the redheads to come and pick her up!

Uta turned and walked towards the island. Unlike any other time, she felt the air around her was sweet, and she was in a very good mood. After taking a few steps, she skipped and hopped, singing...

-

On the other hand, after sending Uta back, the warship changed direction and headed directly towards Impel Down instead of returning to the Navy Headquarters.

He didn't need to worry about the procedures; he just needed to call Sengoku and let him know, and Sengoku would take care of the rest.

We need to find something for his grandfather to do; he's still young and vigorous, it's the perfect time for him to work hard!

After the Warring States period made the arrangements, some old men in certain places also received the news.

At the top of the Red Line, in the sacred land of Mary Geoise, inside a huge hall.

Several sofas were set up, and five elderly men were gathered there, some standing and some sitting.

These five people are the five people at the pinnacle of world power, the Five Elders of the World Government!

Although in theory Im is the pinnacle of power, he rarely gets involved, so most matters are decided by the Five Elders.

"Satan, what do you want with us?"

Marcus Maz Saint spoke first, asking Satan Saint.

The others remained silent, but their gazes also fell upon Satan, awaiting his reply.

"Red-haired guy has been captured by the Navy!"

Satan spoke softly.

"What?!"

Upon hearing this, the other four people all showed a hint of surprise on their faces.

They were naturally familiar with Shanks, and had even reached a certain agreement with him.

"Who captured him? With that guy's strength, there aren't many in the Navy capable of capturing him, right?"

After a long silence, Nasujuro Sei, holding the Supreme Grade Sword, the First Generation Kitetsu, spoke, his tone tinged with curiosity.

"Rear Admiral Kyle!"

"Kyle?! Sengoku's grandson? That little guy who defeated Wang Zhi and Jin Shizi?"

Topman Vochuli Saint showed a hint of surprise on his face.

"That's him!"

Satan nodded.

"According to the information we've received, Kyle recently went to rescue Zephyr, and then encountered the Red-Haired Pirates on his way back..."

At this point, Satan paused, his gaze sweeping across everyone's faces, and spoke slowly and deliberately:

"He single-handedly fought against the entire Red-Haired Pirates and defeated them head-on!"

!!!

These words shocked the group once again.

"Is that little guy that strong?"

For a moment, all five of them fell silent.

After another long pause, Satan, the initiator of the meeting, spoke again:

"The stronger Kyle gets, the better for us!"

"The Navy will always be subordinate to the government, and besides, he's not a member of the D. clan. Even if he's powerful, he poses no threat to us!"

"The problem now is, that redhead has been captured, what should we do?"

"My suggestion is that the government send someone to negotiate with Kyle, hand over Shanks before he sends him to Impel Down, and then release him with a pretext!"

They have an agreement with Shanks, and besides, given Shanks' identity, they definitely won't let him be imprisoned in Impel Down. That would be even more troublesome, as they would have to go to Impel Down to bail him out.

Getting the person out of jail is a minor issue; the real problem is how to handle the subsequent public opinion. This redhead was sent to Impel Down, but not long after, he was out at sea again. This is not good!

If you get rid of the person before they're imprisoned in Impel Down, there won't be so many problems. You can just make up some excuse, like being kidnapped by Whitebeard or Kaido.

Anyway, those pirates have taken the blame for them more than once or twice.

What do you think?

"Satan asked in a calm voice."

After only a short while, Nasujiro nodded.

"I second that!"

The others also nodded in agreement without any objection.

"In that case, let CP0 handle it!"

"I'll make the arrangements!"

After saying that, Saint Satan took out a Den Den Mushi and dialed the number...

-

boom--

A crimson wave suddenly slashed out, splitting the sea in two with a single stroke. The sea surface was cut in two, stretching all the way to the horizon, and the seawater on both sides could not close up for several breaths due to the influence of the violent sword energy.

Kyle shook the Griffin in his hand and shook his head:

"Trash, not as good as my Purple Lightning!"

"Let's go back and see if Zoro wants it!"

With the red-haired man defeated by him, Griffin naturally fell into his hands.

Not only Griffin, but also Ben Beckman and Yasopp and his group—anyone with weapons was confiscated by him.

However, he wasn't interested in those pistols or sniper rifles, and his team didn't use those kinds of weapons, so he simply gave them to the navy personnel on the ships and let them distribute them themselves.

After all, these are weapons used by the Red-Haired Pirates' executives, so the materials used are of very good quality.

A short while later, a navy officer ran over.

"Admiral Kyle, a ship has been spotted eight nautical miles ahead at twelve o'clock. Professor Zephyr sent me to fetch you to take a look!"

"vessel?"
