Konoha: I have a clone in One Piece.

Chapter 77 Crane's Report

Hawkeye Mihawk paused for a moment, looking at the black sword Night, its tip already touching the seawater, before silently sheathing it again…

He glanced at Shanks and Suzuki, who were waiting for a reply on the small silver boat beside him, and answered with a very serious expression:

"It's dirty, I'll wash it."

Then, Hawkeye stood up from his wooden boat and walked toward the metal boat.

"I just discovered that my boat is damaged and leaking."

"Suzuki, I'll ride in your boat!"

Hawkeye stood in front of the small silver boat, looking at Suzuki with a determined expression and said.

"..."

"Okay, come on up..."

Suzuki's lips twitched, and he looked at Hawkeye Mihawk with a strange expression, but he didn't say anything more.

Then, the small, silvery-white boat quickly sped across the sea, leaving a long white line on the horizon...

"Hey! Mihawk, were you just about to use that knife to cut...?"

"No! It's just dirty!"

"Forehead……"

"Mihawk, what about your ship?"

"Oh, never mind! I'll buy another one."

"Alright... how about I use my Devil Fruit power to build you a new one later?"

"Thank you, Suzuki. By the way, do you have that 'Foggy Shell'?"

"some."

"Thank you so much!"

"You're too kind..."

"Shanks, do you want me to build you one too?"

"Ah, thank you, but no need. I still want to buy my own boat later. By the way, Suzuki, where are we headed?"

"I'd like to know too, Suzuki, where are we going?"

"Our destination is Shimotsuki Village, the place I mentioned before where the swordsmen of the East Sea live."

"Shimotsuki Village, huh? This ship's so fast, it shouldn't be long before we get there, right?"

"More or less, but it's a bit far, so it will take some time."

"The swordsman of the East Blue~"

Just as Suzuki and the others were sailing towards Shimotsuki Village.

Naval Headquarters.

"Bang!"

The current Fleet Admiral, Steelbone Kong, slammed his fist on the table in front of him.

His face was filled with anger, and as he looked at the intelligence report delivered to the table, he felt a mix of emotions.

Steel Bones knows, this is no one Warring States' fault.

Not only him, but even the Five Elders did not blame Sengoku.

After all, those countless Den Den Mushi were arranged at their request, and the people who demanded that it be done in a grand and special way were themselves.

But this is really bad!

Roger's last words had spread throughout the entire ocean.

Countless people are now heading towards the Grand Line.

Although not everyone is a ruthless pirate, even if only a small number are, it is still an extremely terrifying number!

Steel Bone Kong really didn't know what to do at this moment.

He sighed, realizing that perhaps he really was getting old.

Just then, Naval Staff Officer Tsuru hurriedly walked in.

She was still holding a lot of documents in her hands, and Gang Gu Kong's expression became serious again.

Is there some bad news?

Crane was not yet as old as she would become in the future; she still possessed a captivating charm. With a serious expression, she opened the document in her hand and addressed Fleet Admiral Steelbone Kong:

"Brother Kong, these are documents sent from Rogge Town."

"It was delivered less than ten minutes ago. I looked through some of it on the way and felt there were some things I needed to report to you."

Kong's expression also turned serious. Looking at the crane standing in front of the table, he nodded and said:

"Okay, go ahead and say it!"

Naval Staff Officer He took out a document and then said very seriously:

"A major riot has broken out in Loguetown!"

"The death toll has not yet been tallied, but based on this preliminary report, the riots have already resulted in at least tens of thousands of deaths!"

"This is just in Loguetown. I haven't had time to pay attention to other places yet, so I'm not too sure about them. But there should be quite a few as well."

"Bang!"

Kong slammed his fist on the table, his face contorted with rage, veins bulging on his brow.

"Damn Roger! He knew! He knew perfectly well!"

"That guy isn't stupid; he must know how much damage his actions will cause to this ocean!"

"But that guy still did it, damn it! Tens of thousands of people!"

As he spoke, a sorrowful expression gradually appeared on Kong's face:

"After this, the pirates will probably be difficult to suppress. We need to reinforce! We absolutely must reinforce."

Steel Bone looked at Crane and said with a firm expression:

"Tsuru, write a report later. I'm going to see the Five Elders and request an increase in the number of admiral-level positions at the Navy Headquarters!"

Crane hesitated slightly, but she agreed with her elder brother Steel Bone Sky's idea.

However, based on her understanding of the Five Elders, those five old fogies probably wouldn't want to see the Navy's power increase again.

If Kong's report is submitted, it might give the Five Elders some strange ideas, or even lead them to consider finding other forces to restrain the Marine Headquarters.

However, no matter what, even if it's just used to restrain the navy, it can at least keep those vicious and rampant pirates in check.

That's what the crane thought.

Finally, seeing the resolute look in Kong's eyes, Tsuru nodded.

Then, He took out several documents and said with a solemn expression:

"Brother Kong, here are the documents of several people who performed exceptionally well in the riot in Loguetown."

"Among them is Crocodile, a Logia-type Sand-Sand Fruit user!"

"I checked, and his current bounty is only fifty million. I suggest increasing it to eighty-one million!"

"And there's also a Paramecia-type Shadow-Shadow Fruit user from the West Blue, Gecko Moria!"

"His current bounty is around 60 million, but he has a particular fondness for manipulating corpses and shadows, and has a history of massacres. I suggest increasing it to 120 million!"

As he spoke, He narrowed his eyes and looked at the next document in his hand:

"This one, Brother Kong, is a bit troublesome."

"Donquixote Doflamingo, the Paramecia-type String-String Fruit user, was formerly a Celestial Dragon."

"However, it has also caused a great deal of bloodshed in Loguetown. I suggest that after reporting to the Five Elders, I take charge of capturing this brat!"

"No matter what, he was once a Celestial Dragon. If he is captured by other Marines, it might cause them some unnecessary trouble."

Steel Bone Kong looked somewhat surprised, although he had heard about the Don Quixote family.

But he never expected that the Celestial Dragon brat would become a pirate.

Kong hesitated for a moment regarding Tsuru's thoughts and decision, but ultimately nodded.

Upon receiving his elder brother Kong's agreement, Tsuru quickly began discussing the last two documents.

Her face looked very serious at this moment:

"There are two more people to watch out for, one of whom is the Navy Hunter - Hawkeye Mihawk, who has also appeared in Loguetown."

"His current bounty has reached 200 million Berries, but I suggest increasing it further, to at least 300 million!"

"This swordsman's talent is terrifying. From the moment he set foot on the sea, his record has been almost entirely victory. His strength must have increased dramatically. We need a large enough bounty to attract even stronger opponents to take him down!"

After speaking of Hawkeye Mihawk, Crane looked at the last document with some hesitation.
