Good-for-nothing?
The Marine soldiers and generals who were present couldn't help but be stunned.
Probably only Akainu could evaluate the Shichibukai, who were valued by the World Government, as good-for-nothing.
Looking at the Marine Headquarters, the Shichibukai were an existence that even veteran vice admirals didn't dare to underestimate.
"Akainu, I know you're not convinced, but our Marine Headquarters isn't allowed to fail right now. Issuing the Shichibukai summons is for a sure victory!" Sengoku said in a deep voice.
As the Marine Fleet Admiral, the things that had happened one after another during this period had made him feel a headache.
As the Fleet Admiral, he had to bear more than Akainu and the others.
Akainu's expression changed repeatedly and said, "Hmph, those guys are just ingrates. Even with the Shichibukai summons, how many people have responded?"
Faced with Akainu's softened tone, Sengoku secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Right now, Dracule Mihawk, Donquixote Doflamingo, Gekko Moriah, Jinbe, Bartholomew Kuma, and Boa Hancock have all replied and can be dispatched."
"Six of the Shichibukai have responded?" Kizaru said with a crooked mouth and a lewd expression, "This result is really unexpected."
"Hmph, those guys probably think that our Marine is determined to kill Vald and are thinking of putting in less effort, so they're so active." Akainu snorted coldly with disdain.
"However, that guy Crocodile is still the same as before. If it wasn't for his identity as a Shichibukai, I would have sunk him into the sea long ago."
If most of the Shichibukai didn't come, then it might be excusable.
Now everyone had agreed to be dispatched, but only Crocodile hadn't responded, which made him a bit of an oddity and out of place.
"No, probably you won't be able to sink Crocodile in the future. Not long ago, he intended to plot against the country in Alabasta and was killed by King Cobra, who hired Laxus!" Sengoku said in a deep voice.
"What?"
Everyone who was present had a drastic change in expression at once.
A moment ago, they were still feeling thorny about the existence of the Shichibukai.
Now someone was actually telling them that Crocodile had been killed.
Moreover, this person was Marine Fleet Admiral Sengoku. If they hadn't heard it with their own ears, who would have believed that all of this was true?
"Laxus?"
"Is it the brat we encountered on the Kuja pirate ship?" Akainu said with a gloomy expression.
"Yes, it's that guy." Sengoku said in a deep voice.
"However, Akainu, I'm warning you, you must not take action against that guy, otherwise don't blame me for holding you accountable!"
He couldn't take action?
Regarding the fact that Akainu had fought with a young man of unknown identity in the Sabaody Archipelago, and had been blasted to pieces, the Magu Magu no Mi, had also spread in the Marine Headquarters.
What's more, Onigumo had set out with the team that day. He had an unforgettable impression of the person who was called her husband by the pirate empress Boa Hancock.
If he had to find a word to describe it, it was simply the public enemy of all men.
Now Sengoku was suddenly telling them that he had not only killed the Shichibukai Crocodile, but Akainu wasn't allowed to seek revenge?
This change in attitude was a bit too big.
"Sengoku, I want an explanation, why!" Akainu's face darkened, and he said angrily.
For him, the Skeletal Demon had made him, who was an admiral, lose all face.
Laxus's appearance had added insult to injury.
It could be said that faced with Akainu's questioning, the people who were present also had a bit of eagerness on their faces.
After all, this was the first time they had seen Sengoku actually favoring an outsider.
"He's Bastille's teacher right now. At the same time, the martial arts attainments he possesses are even above Zephyr. We have reached a consensus and will invite him to join the Marine Recruit Camp as the chief instructor." Sengoku said in a deep voice.
Akainu and the others' expressions changed drastically.
They had thought of many reasons, but they never expected that Sengoku would give such a reply.
"Sengoku, are you joking? This joke isn't funny. We all know the depth of that old man's attainments. You're now letting a guy with an unknown background train the new recruits. Are you senile?" Akainu said in a deep voice.
In the Marine, besides Garp, only he dared to talk to the dignified Marine Fleet Admiral like this.
"Akainu, this matter has been approved by Zephyr. What's more, the Six Styles lecture that Laxus provided is already in our hands. We'll talk about anything when we get back. Don't dawdle and cause trouble for me." Sengoku replied in a deep voice.
Faced with Akainu's repeated rebuttals, he had clearly worn out his patience.
Before Akainu could react, the Den Den Mushi had already transmitted a busy tone.
Watching this scene, the Marine generals who were present had iron-blue faces at once and subconsciously looked at Akainu.
"You senile bastard!" Akainu suddenly clenched the Den Den Mushi in his hand.
"We're going to use a guy with an unclear background. I'm going to see what ability that kid has!"
"All members, return immediately and return to the Marine Headquarters within three days!"
The awe-inspiring words echoed on the ship's deck.
While everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief, they clearly knew that there would still be a storm brewing next.
At the same time, in the Calm Belt of the Grand Line.
At the entrance to the sea of Amazon Lily, a huge two-masted pirate ship set sail.
Under the pull of two sea snakes, it quickly sailed out of the port.
The Kuja female warriors who were stationed at the port looked at that graceful figure who was standing proudly on the bow and revealed fanatical expressions.
"Hancock, I didn't expect that you would agree to the Marine Headquarters' Shichibukai summons so easily. I thought I would have to spend a lot of effort to persuade you. It seems that you've grown up and completely understand!" Elder Nyon leaned on her cane and appeared behind Hancock, revealing a gratified expression.
"Who let this old woman get on the ship? Throw her into the sea to feed the sea kings!" Hancock suddenly turned around and shouted coldly.
The sudden scene made Elder Nyon's gratified expression instantly stiffen. She hurriedly tore open her throat and shouted, "Hancock, I was blind that day to bring you back to Amazon Lily. I thought you had grown up just now. I spit!"
"You bastard, Sonia, throw her out. Don't interfere with me reminiscing about the beautiful times with Lord Kai." Hancock glared.
Looking at the brand new bounty poster in her hand, she revealed a lovestruck expression again.
Watching this scene, Elder Nyon finally understood that she had misunderstood.
Hancock's current appearance was simply being controlled by her hormones.
"Elder, don't blame Elder Sister either. If it wasn't for Lord Kai, we would probably have had to waste our breath to persuade Elder Sister to accept the mission. We haven't set sail for two years. If we don't accept the summons again, the World Government will send that group of annoying vice admirals." Sonia said with a wry smile.
"According to Elder Sister's statement, this time's mission came from Lord Kai's summons..."
