Admiral Sengoku the Buddha stopped the old man with a single sentence, and a trace of anger immediately appeared on his face: "This matter has already been investigated, it was done by a Pirate named Clown Buggy..."
"Buggy?"
Vice Admiral Garp recalled a red-nosed brat.
"The site has already been examined..."
Sengoku slowly nodded, but his face was still unpleasant: "Clown Buggy and his subordinates used homemade artillery shells to assassinate Saint Mjosgard. There's still artillery and shells left behind that he didn't manage to take away. After artillery tests, the evidence is irrefutable..."
The rules of this vast sea are very simple, only powerful Pirates are taken seriously, and the Grand Line is teeming with pirates with bounties over hundreds of millions.
Naturally.
The top brass of the Navy also wouldn't bother with low-level Pirates.
Clown Buggy's bounty is only fifteen million Belly, and in the Grand Line, he's akin to a mere passerby. No one would suspect that someone would deliberately kill a Heavenly Celestial Dragon to frame Clown Buggy; the value difference between a Celestial Dragon and Buggy is greater than that between a human and a dog.
Besides...
The evidence is quite clear.
There is even a motive for Clown Buggy to assassinate a Celestial Dragon.
It is said that World News was even faster than the Navy in understanding Clown Buggy's life story and why he would assassinate a Celestial Dragon.
Normally, capturing Clown Buggy would only require a Navy Headquarters Colonel, but the impact of a Celestial Dragon being killed is extremely bad!
The matter can't be suppressed!
The World News will soon report it!
The World Government demands that the Navy must dispatch an Admiral, with the purpose of warning everyone not to have any disrespect towards the World Nobles;
Admiral Sengoku the Buddha originally thought the World Government was making much ado about nothing, but then obtained Clown Buggy's full information and immediately sent out an Admiral...
For no other reason.
Buggy's might may not be worth it.
However, Buggy's identity warranted an Admiral to personally take action.
Sengoku was even considering whether to make an example out of Buggy, letting every Pirate in the world know that not just anyone can assassinate a Celestial Dragon!
"Here is his profile."
An elderly woman handed over a stack of detailed information.
"Buggy."
Sengoku had already read these documents, and said in a deep voice: "He once served as an Intern Pirate on the Roger Pirates ship alongside one of the New World's Four Emperors, Red-haired Shanks. Twenty years ago, when Roger was executed, he witnessed the execution..."
"Not a minor figure..."
A Vice Admiral looked at the documents in his hand and couldn't help but sigh: "Twenty years have passed, and his bounty is still only fifteen million Belly, he doesn't appear to be a strong figure, but his concealment was extremely deep. Aren't all Pirates of the Roger Pirates wanted? How has his identity never been exposed?"
"I'll go there first!"
Vice Admiral Garp stepped forward again.
The gray-haired old Navy soldier grinned, even showing a trace of a smile on his face: "I saw that red-nosed brat on Roger's ship back then, and now he's caused such a big trouble by assassinating a Celestial Dragon. Let me go personally catch him!"
"Garp! Sit down first!"
Sengoku saw through his old friend's intention at a glance. As he planned to reprimand him, a series of urgent Radio Snail sounds rang out, forcing Sengoku to answer the call first!
"Marshal Sengoku, an urgent matter..."
An East Sea Branch Vice Admiral's voice was somewhat grave.
"I'll go to the side..."
Sengoku waved his hand indicating the group of Vice Admirals in the meeting room to take a break, while he went to the adjacent office to listen to the report from the East Sea Branch Vice Admiral.
Normally, the East Sea Branch Vice Admiral needs to report major issues to the Navy Admiral, while each of the Four Seas Branches has the authority for temporary decisions on smaller matters, whether it's issuing Pirate wanted lists or appointing officers below the rank of Branch Colonel.
However...
This event seemed particularly severe.
A highly ranked Navy branch was slaughtered in full by pirates, with hundreds of Navy deployed from the base, including Colonel Mouse and all Navy soldiers being killed by the Arlong Pirates, leaving only one Navy recruit surviving, almost a total annihilation.
If it's just this...
The Navy can directly dispatch en masse to avenge the pirates...
But...
Some even more troublesome areas emerged.
The Arlong Pirates were defeated by another Straw Hat Pirates...
The surviving Navy recruit arrested a group of fish-men defeated by the Straw Hat Pirates.
However...
There are also particularly troublesome parts.
Colonel Mouse of the Navy Branch and the Arlong Pirates had long been colluding, yet due to some absurd and embarrassing issues, conflict occurred...
It is reported that Colonel Mouse wanted to take several fish-men from the Arlong Pirates to please the Celestial Dragon Saint Mjosgard visiting the East Sea because this Saint Mjosgard aimed to kill some fish-men for fun. However, they seemingly couldn't negotiate the matter, leading the Arlong Pirates to rage and kill Colonel Mouse and his Navy men...
If not for the Straw Hat Pirates arriving, that Navy Third-class Soldier named Akihara Kagura might not have survived. Stating this matter truly made the Branch Vice Admiral feel deeply ashamed, but unfortunately, he couldn't hide this severe catastrophic event of total annihilation.
