Recruit Trafalgar Law?
It's actually him?
Thinking of Law, Kyle couldn't help but think of Corazon, and his thoughts drifted back four years.
BACKSTORY___BACKSTORY
In the year 1508 of the Sea Calendar, Kyle was only four years old this year.
*Creeeak!!*
The door to Sengoku's office was pushed open directly. Sengoku, who was handling documents at his desk, frowned slightly, a vein bulging on his forehead. As he looked up, he yelled angrily:
"Garp, how many times have I told you, you have to knock before…"
Before he could finish, Sengoku suddenly stopped, because the figure appearing before him wasn't Garp's annoying face, but a tiny little silhouette.
In an instant, Sengoku stood up, walked over to the little one, picked him up, and a chrysanthemum-like smile bloomed on his face.
"It's Kyle! Are you bored? Why did you come to see your grandpa?!"
"Rosinante is at risk of exposure. Vergo, who joined the Marines last year, is a spy sent by Donquixote Doflamingo to infiltrate the Marines!"
"You must send word to Rosinante, tell him not to easily transmit messages to the Marines!"
Without any preamble or hesitation, Kyle went straight to the point.
Upon hearing this, Sengoku's pupils dilated sharply, his body shuddered, nearly throwing Kyle in the process.
He stared at Kyle incredulously:
"Kyle! How do you know these things?!"
"Don't worry about how I know. Just know that the intelligence I'm giving is accurate. If you don't want anything to happen to Rosinante, you'd better relay what I said to him!"
Sengoku slowly set Kyle down, his gaze deepening as he looked at Kyle, his mind a tangled mess.
'Who is it?! Who told Kyle these things?!'
"And he actually knows about Rosinante's mission, even though…"
Sengoku didn't continue the thought. Very few people knew about Rosinante's undercover operation, and the other party had even named the spy sent by the Donquixote family.
That's right, Sengoku believed someone must have told Kyle, who was then used as a mouthpiece to convey this message to him.
There was no other possibility! Could it be that Kyle investigated this himself?
What a joke, this was a child of merely four years old!!
After a long silence, Sengoku finally forced a smile and said to Kyle:
"Alright, Kyle, grandpa has received this message. I'll handle it properly. You go and play now, okay!"
Kyle nodded and walked towards the door, leaving Sengoku in the office, still frowning deeply.
He couldn't fully believe this message, but he couldn't completely dismiss it either. Regardless of the motives of the person behind Kyle, for now, they seemed to harbor goodwill.
So, for the time being, he would set aside investigating that person's identity and first deal with this message about Rosinante.
With this in mind, Sengoku immediately returned to his desk, picked up the Den Den Mushi on it, and began his arrangements and plans…
His thoughts gradually returned to the present. Due to Kyle's actions back then, Rosinante ultimately did not have his cover blown and thus did not die at Doflamingo's hands.
To this day, he was still undercover within the Donquixote family.
Afterwards, Sengoku had also probed Kyle intentionally or unintentionally, trying to investigate the people around him.
But four years passed, and he found absolutely nothing!
This was perfectly normal; the person didn't exist, so how could he possibly find anything!
Kyle wasn't the type to hesitate and be overly cautious, shrinking back in fear.
If he were afraid of everything, worried that different events would change the course of the future plot, then what was the point of him knowing that plot?
This was the real world. What mattered wasn't some so-called plot, but the things he cherished.
If he knew something bad might happen and did nothing to prevent it, that would truly be idiotic.
Since he knew from the original story that Rosinante would die at Doflamingo's hands, he was determined to change that outcome.
After all, Rosinante was like an uncle to him, even though they had never met.
Moreover, Rosinante's death in the original story had hit Sengoku quite hard.
Even for Sengoku's sake, he would do this.
But the premise that allowed him to speak directly and frankly to Sengoku was based on him being Sengoku's biological grandson.
With almost any other identity, things probably wouldn't have been so simple.
After thinking this through, Kyle focused his attention on his current mission target, Trafalgar Law.
Now that the system was asking him to recruit Law, it meant Law had most likely already been cured of his Amber Lead disease, which meant he had most likely eaten the Ope Ope no Mi, just like in the original story.
But… Swallow Island?
Wasn't that the island Law fled to after Rosinante's death in the original story?
Why would he go there now, even though Rosinante hadn't died?
Forget it. He'd find out the specifics when he went to check.
Finally, Kyle looked at the rewards for this recruitment mission.
The Armament Haki improvement needed no further explanation; it was straightforward.
The focus was on the second one: Insight into Human Weak Points?
Sounded pretty awesome, but he wasn't sure about the exact effects.
He noticed that the rewards for recent recruitment missions were all somewhat connected to the recruitment targets.
The swordsmanship from recruiting Zoro, the Bloodline Factor from recruiting Sanji, and now Insight into Human Weak Points.
At first glance, Insight into Human Weak Points didn't seem related to Law, but don't forget, besides being a pirate, what other profession did Law have in the original story?
Law, having eaten the Ope Ope no Mi, was bound to become a doctor; that was a certainty.
And what are doctors good at?
If you aren't clear about human weaknesses, how can you kill and dismem… ahem!
How can you heal the wounded and rescue the dying?!
He was looking forward to this ability!
While it wouldn't directly increase his combat power, it would be extremely useful in actual combat.
If every move I make targets your weak points, are you going to lose, or am I?
After indulging in this pleasant thought, Kyle lay back down to enjoy life.
Recruiting Law wasn't very urgent. He'd have to at least deliver Moria back first, then set out to sea alone.
Otherwise, bringing people along really wouldn't be convenient.
Time slipped away quietly as Kyle relaxed. Soon, several days passed, and the warship finally returned to Marineford.
Kyle handed over the task of escorting and transferring Moria to Sabo and the others.
This naturally wasn't because he was too lazy to do the job himself, but simply to give Sabo and the others some training.
Moreover, having them escort Moria back would also earn them some face, right?!
*Sigh!*
As the captain of the squad, he was like a candle, burning himself to illuminate his teammates! Constantly considering his teammates' interests, it would be wrong not to give him an award.
While Sabo and the others went to escort Moria, Kyle arrived outside Fleet Admiral Sengoku's office.
At the doorway, he encountered a few unexpected people. Raising an eyebrow slightly, he said softly:
"Well, well! Another king has arrived?!"
