Moria was truly beside himself with rage this time, venting all the anger in his heart like a volcanic eruption. He cursed unrestrainedly and with great satisfaction.
His fury regarding this matter had reached its absolute limit.
Heavens, four Yonko-level powerhouses actually joined forces to attack him, a fallen shut-in! This was simply going too far, the absolute extreme of bullying!
"You, you, you... what did you just say?" Hearing this, Sengoku shuddered as if struck by a bolt from the blue, unable to remain steady. He immediately stood up involuntarily and shouted at the top of his lungs, his eyes filled with disbelief and horror, as if the end of the world had arrived. He almost unleashed his Great Buddha power, nearly shattering the desk in front of him once more.
What kind of ridiculous joke was this? Were those mysterious powerhouses they had been desperately searching for also affiliated with Rocks?
Sengoku could not accept this reality under any circumstances.
After all, setting aside everything else, merely looking at how many Yonko-level powerhouses were already under Rocks and his Granddaughter's command was enough to leave people dumbfounded.
Firstly, there were Rocks D. Xebec and Rocks D. Luna, and also that giant robot, which was over 200 meters tall and possessed Yonko-level combat strength.
Furthermore, he already knew that Kuina, the first mate of the Pink Hat Pirates, had also entered the ranks of the Yonko. As far as they currently knew, they already had four Yonko-level powerhouses on their side.
But this was already terrifying enough; even if they lacked other value, at least Rocks and his Granddaughter had not yet expanded their forces and territory to the massive scale of the other Yonko.
But now, good heavens, truly good heavens. Moria actually told him that the four mysterious powerhouses who had previously assaulted Garp might also be working for them. How could Sengoku possibly accept that?
Because if they accepted this, it would mean that facing Rocks and his Granddaughter was equivalent to facing a total of eight Yonko.
Eight Yonko—that was utterly preposterous! Therefore, at this very moment, he truly could not believe it.
"Heh heh, whether you believe it or not is your problem, Sengoku, you old dog. In short, I only have one thing to say: I already fought them, and Perona is no longer considered my person. Do you have any further business with me?" Moria said, sneering with a sarcastic expression.
"Alright, I'll count that as you having taken action, Moria. But I hope your intelligence is accurate. Since you actually clashed with them, I'll ask one final question: Do you know any specific information about them?"
Since Moria was now considered to have taken action, and the Young Lady named Perona was no longer affiliated with him, Sengoku felt it was inappropriate to press the issue further; it would truly be too demanding.
As for what Devil Fruit the Young Lady had eaten, he was confident he could still investigate it thoroughly; the Navy's intelligence network and agency were not to be underestimated.
Therefore, he chose not to ask about that, but he still wanted to glean some crucial intelligence about the four mysterious powerhouses from Moria.
"I can tell you, but you must agree to one condition."
Moria recalled the four individuals, or rather, Luna's instructions, and immediately smiled with an expression demanding that they provide compensation.
"Tell me what it is first. As long as it's not too excessive." After a moment of thought, although he was furious that this individual dared to make demands, Sengoku immediately suppressed his anger and inquired.
"Simple. I want to enter the New World, and I need a somewhat sturdy ship. The Navy will provide it for me," Moria said, smiling with a meaningful expression.
"What do you intend to do in the New World?" Sengoku asked, sounding both puzzled and curious.
"If I told you I've already moved on, would you believe me?" Moria said, smiling.
"That counts as a decent reason. Alright, you should now provide the information I require." Sengoku naturally couldn't fully believe that answer, but he also trusted that Moria was unlikely to cause any significant waves.
He agreed to the condition. It was only a small ship, and obtaining intelligence on those four mysterious powerhouses was paramount.
"Haven't you already seen them? In your preliminary assessment and analysis, they are a strange combination consisting of a scientific experiment monster, a samurai from Wano Country, a Mink, and a member of the Fish-Man Tribe."
However, Moria responded with a question of his own first.
"That's correct." Sengoku, who detected nothing suspicious, answered directly.
"Those four individuals are actually quite similar to what you suspected. The largest green-skinned monster is named Hulk, and he truly is a special type of monster. I feel like he is a powerhouse who relies purely on physical techniques and Haki, much like Garp, and he only gets stronger the angrier he becomes."
Moria immediately began to describe him. Sengoku had also done a simple online search about Hulk, knowing that Moria's information couldn't possibly be comprehensive.
"He really is some kind of genetically modified person created through a scientific experiment? But why have I never heard of the type you are describing?"
Sengoku was clearly still somewhat skeptical.
"I wouldn't know about that. Furthermore, I only fought them once, and I was utterly crushed. I only managed to resist for a short while, so how much do you expect me to know? Besides, are there few people secretly conducting these kinds of experiments in this world?" Moria said, looking like he didn't care if Sengoku believed him or not.
"Hulk, is it? A monster skilled in physical techniques who grows stronger the angrier he gets. Good, I've noted that. Tell me about the next one."
Sengoku immediately repeated the details, clearly intending to move on to the next subject.
In other words, he was telling Moria to immediately state the situation regarding the next person.
"That guy should genuinely be a samurai from Wano Country. He is a genuinely strong Two-Sword Style swordsman. His speed is extremely fast, accurate, and vicious, and he fights with great intelligence. I was genuinely terrified at the time. Furthermore, his sword style looks like two azure birds dancing. The impression he gave me is that he is probably only slightly weaker than Hawkeye."
"In other words, he is a Great Swordsman."
After hearing this piece of information from Moria, Sengoku's expression darkened once more.
Because a Great Swordsman is definitely a super-tier combatant. They can easily unleash incredibly powerful slashes and sword energy, making them guaranteed killing weapons.
Sometimes, a powerful Great Swordsman can even surpass some Haki experts and Devil Fruit Users. The Navy takes such individuals very seriously, and knowing that another powerful Great Swordsman stood against the Navy naturally made his face look grim.
"Please continue," Sengoku said, already feeling another headache starting.
