One Piece: Starting with Creating the Strongest Character Design

Chapter 70 The Aftermath (Please Subscribe!)

After Buffalo crashed while flying in mid-air, Vice Admiral Tsuru and his naval forces immediately surrounded the three men who had fallen to the ground.

Sea stone handcuffs and all that stuff were arranged.

Behind Lieutenant General Tsuru was a makeshift scaffold on which hung three Don Quixote family members dressed as clothes.

These were the three men that Doflamingo had previously sent to stop the Marines.

Upon seeing Kitahara Tsune, Vice Admiral Tsuru abandoned his usual serious demeanor and beamed with joy: "Thanks to Brigadier General Kitahara Tsune, you deserve the most credit for capturing Doflamingo this time."

Kitahara Tsune smiled modestly, but did not deny it.

However, he was somewhat disappointed that not many people witnessed the battle directly.

Perhaps next time he makes a move, he can always carry a video Den Den Mushi with him.

However, ordinary Den Den Mushi are somewhat difficult to carry, and photographic Den Den Mushi require two people to maintain them in real time.

Shaking aside the wild idea, Kitahara Tsune said to Vice Admiral Tsuru, "It seems that the Op-Op Fruit wasn't taken by Doflamingo."

Upon hearing this, Vice Admiral Tsuru frowned, then relaxed with relief: "Even if we didn't get the Op-Op Fruit, capturing the Donquixote Pirates was still worthwhile."

For most of the Marines, although seizing the Op-Op Fruit is the World Government's primary objective, most Marines are actually there to capture the Donkey Pirates.

Kitahara Tsune told Vice Admiral Tsuru about his mental journey in arriving at this conclusion and Doflamingo's previous reaction.

After a moment of contemplation, Vice Admiral Tsuru glanced at Doflamingo, who was handcuffed with seastone handcuffs, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "In other words, a group of people who do not belong to any faction has appeared on the island."

Kitahara Tsune nodded, agreeing with Lieutenant General Tsuru's conjecture.

The sound of a Den Den Mushi rang out from behind the group of navy personnel.

A navy officer, clutching a Den Den Mushi, ran toward Vice Admiral Tsuru and said, "Port, Vice Admiral Tsuru, news has come from the port."

Vice Admiral Tsuru answered the phone and said, "How's it going? Have you spotted the Donquixote Family's pirate ship?"

"Reporting to Vice Admiral Tsuru, the Don Quixote family's Flamingo has been located and destroyed."

"And they also captured a power user, I think his name is Diamanti."

"However, one of our warships was also destroyed by the enemy."

"Were there any casualties?" Lieutenant General Tsuru asked in a serious tone.

"Nine people were injured, but no one has died so far," came the report from the other end of the Den Den Mushi.

Lieutenant General Tsuru breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Well done."

Being able to capture a Donquixote Family executive in exchange for a warship is already a very good deal. Hanging up the Den Den Mushi, Vice Admiral Tsuru looked at Kitahara Tsune again, pointed to the half-stone giant towering on the island, and asked, "You encountered Pica?"

"Oh, so that guy's name is Pikachu."

Kitahara Tsune looked as if he had just realized something, as if he had no idea what the other person's name was.

"Is it that guy who can also merge with stone? He's an ability user, and I don't have Seastone Gloves with me, so I have to execute him on the spot."

"Your choice is correct." Lieutenant General Tsuru nodded approvingly.

Although she always follows procedures and routinely captures pirates alive, she is not rigid or obsessed with procedural justice.

"Oh, right," Kitahara Tsuneo added, "After dealing with Pica, I encountered two other people. One seemed to be able to change her weight. The other was a woman, but I didn't figure out what her abilities were."

"In order to defeat Doflamingo as soon as possible, I took care of those two as well."

"It's near where Pica was defeated," Kitahara Tsune added.

"very good."

Vice Admiral Tsuru dispatched two squads of naval soldiers to the place Kitahara Tsune had mentioned.

Under Vice Admiral Tsuru's command, the navy quickly cleared the battlefield.

With nothing else to do, Kitahara Tsuneo reported the situation and then headed to the other side of the island.

Inside a house that has not yet collapsed.

Corazon, Law, and Dolly watched the birdcage gradually disappear in the sky, and their previously worried and anxious feelings immediately relaxed.

"It seems that Brigadier General Kitahara Tsune's strength is beyond my imagination." Corazon exhaled.

After this incident, Don Quixote's entire family was wiped out, and his undercover mission came to an end.

In other words, his promise to Luo to "live in seclusion" can now be fulfilled.

"Where should we go to live in seclusion then? Spring Island? Water Seven? Or the North Sea?"

Corazon has already begun to fantasize about life after retirement.

Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he began to rummage through his body.

"Huh? Where's my Den Den Mushi?"

After searching around and failing to find the Den Den Mushi, his initial excitement to report the good news to Sengoku-san vanished instantly.

He clearly remembered that he had put away the Den Den Mushi before Kitahara Tsune even made the call.

Suddenly, he remembered that he had put the Den Den Mushi inside his black feather coat.

Kitahara Tsune took that piece of clothing.

Thinking of this, his tense mood began to relax.

It doesn't matter anymore, let it be, it's all over anyway. Meanwhile, Kitahara Tsuneo took out the small and exquisite Den Den Mushi from his pocket.

When he threw away the black feathered robe, this thing rolled out from inside, and he casually put it in his pocket.

"Now that the birdcage is no longer functional, the signal should be able to propagate."

Thinking this, Kitahara Tsune pressed the Den Den Mushi's shell.

Brub brub bru—

The call was answered after only a few rings.

From the other end of the Den Den Mushi came Sengoku's booming voice: "Big Senbei!"

Huh? Upon hearing this, Kitahara Tsune was stunned for a moment.

Of course he knew that Sengoku the Buddha loved senbei, but these were special Den Den Mushi, right? It wouldn't be so much that he'd have his direct subordinate deliver senbei to him, would it?

However, Kitahara Tsune quickly realized that this was a code!

Kitahara Tsune's mind raced as he reviewed his past memories.

Seeing that there was no response from the other end of the Den Den Mushi, Sengoku's loud voice suddenly fell silent.

An eerie silence fell over the scene.

"Little...millet fruit?"

Unearthing those fragmented, distant memories, Kitahara Tsuneo responded to the other party's coded message.

This brief and eerie silence had already aroused suspicion in the Warring States period.

But—why does the voice on the other end of this Den Den Mushi sound somewhat familiar to Sengoku?

"The Warring States Marshal—?"

The incoherent voice rang in his ears again, and Sengoku finally realized who was on the other end of the Den Den Mushi!

"Kitahara Tsune? How did you get this Den Den Mushi? Did you run into Corazon? Weren't you supposed to be trading the Ope Ope no Mi with Vice Admiral Tsuru?"

A series of questions burst out of Zhan Guo's mouth in an instant.

As these questions were uttered, Sengoku instantly realized what had happened.
