Marines Reaction

Marine Headquarters

Today is actually the annual meeting for all high official of the Marines. From Rear Admiral, Vice Admiral, Admiral, Fleet Admiral.

When Adam is discussing with Shakuyaku and Rayleigh at the Bar, the Marines were also doing their meetings.

You can see all famous marines figure at the huge round meeting room, each of them start to report their work annualy. When all already start reporting their work, they will start to discuss about a certain pirates who just enter the Grand Line, or the Pirates who start sailing from the 4 Blues, discussing about raising their bounties, trap, etc.

At this time, Garp open the door while scratching the back of his head and said sorry with his embarassed smile and walk toward his sit. But this time, the people inside were shock looking at Garp right arm wearing a Arm Sling. It can be seen that he was injured.

' Garp, what hapened?' Sengoku the current Fleet Admiral ask worriedly.

Everyone also felt curious, because nobody have seen Garp injured since Roger Era. Looking at everyone with their curious face, only some were with their worried face, Garp felt helpless and scratch his back head again.

' This, later after the meeting i will say. Continue.. Continue.. Hahaha' Garp said then try to focus with the papers on the table.

' Ahh.. Good..' Sengoku said..

1 hour later.

When Adam is drinking tea, serve by the marines on the Local Headquarters, the Marine Headquarters still on their meeting.

' So,this year the world was a bit calm, including New World, no movements from the Four Emperors, including the Revolutionary Army. Only as usual every year many Pirates will gather at Sabaody Archipelago to look forward the coming thing.' Sengoku said.

' So, who will come there and take a look? Although almost no big fight will happened at that place, but its still dangerous. At least we need to show our face, as usual. 1 Admiral and atleast 3 Vice Admiral.' Sengoku said.

' I wont go, boring, nobody cant pick that thing. I already went there for 26 times, in 26 years.' Garp talk first directly rejecting.

Nobody raise their hands, because its boring. Only showing their face to show that the Marines participate.

Knock ! Knock !

Everyone head turn to the door looking forward curiously, because nobody usually disturb when the meeting start. Except for Garp as usual almost every year, late.

' Come in ' Sengoku said to the door.

The Marine open the door and dare not look toward many high figure inside the meeting room and directly report the situation he needed to report.

' Sir, theres a report from the Sabaody Archipelago local headquarters, that a man named Adam catch 3611 alone in just 45 minutes, the total bounty of these pirates where about 7.2 billion berries. The local headquarters have no more money to exchange, and ask support from the Marine Headquarters to sent money..' the man said with clear and firm voice..

The marine inside felt that their hearing were wrong. And Garp who is boring suddenly his eyes lit up, and ask again.

' 45 minutes, 3611 pirates, a total of 7.2 billion berries. And the man named is Adam? Do you have his photo?' Garp ask quickly.

' Yes. Here.. Vice Admiral Garp !' The marines quickly take out the photo of the man and give it politely towards Garp.

' HAHAHAHA THIS KID...' Garp laugh loud making people more curious, because Garp doenst have a lot he is interested into, beside sleeping, eating, and disturbing sengoku.

' Garp ! Noisy.. Who is it.. ' Sengoku quickly take the photo in Garp hands and look seriously, but didnt know who it was.

' I havent see it. Do you know him Gar.' Sengoku want to ask to Garp, but was interupted by the marine who just come to report.

' Sorry sir, beside the left over money need to be sent. He also catch two important crew from the Four Emperor, and ordinary 1500 crew from them. One is Page Two, from the Beast Pirates. The other is Charlotte Perospero , the eldest child of Charlotte Lilin, the Big Mom Pirates..' the marine said quickly and clear voice.

' WHAT !!? ' Sengoku ask shockedly.

Not only Sengoku who is shocked, Garp and the other is too.

' Yes sir. That man is very strong, he was unscatched, from the investigation by our officers. He has 21 targets, and each target where in different location, everytime he moves to a certain target, he will stare them and the target will fell unconscious, then he tied them, then he drag them with the rope and to the next target and continue until 21 targets where done, and drag them all together towards the Local Headquarters at tree 60-69.' The marine report seriously.

' Unscatched? Then how about Page Two and Charlotte Perospero? Did they fell unconscious too?' Sengoku ask quickly

' Yes, the only one who where injured among the 3611 pirates were Page Two, who lost his both arm before fell unconcscious.' The marine said.

' Lose both of his arm?' Sengoku ask.

' Yes.. We cant see how, but its like an invisible cut, from our investigations, the man is not a swordsman, he doesnt bring any weapon. But he can actually cut everything around him. For example, when he remind if anyone move the ship the pirate he caught. A word ' DEATH' written with cut marks, appear out of nowhere.' The marine report seriously.

' What else?' An old woman named Tsuru who is sitting beside Sengoku ask.

' This..' The man want go give the report in his hand, but was stop and told by Tsuru to read so that everyone can heard it too.

' We only know that his name is Adam, and its asked by the reporter, male, age 21, single, and also in the report. When the reporter ask questions about Kaido or Big Mom revenge, he mock and gave them a sarcasm.. bla .. bla.. bla..' Then the Marine report almost 99% the same Adam did and says.

Everyone felt silence, they can feel the arrogance in Adam words. Or stupid.

' Stupid, or what?' Someone broke the silence by talking to himself.

Everyone glance at the man who talk and keep silence and dont know what they were thinking.

' Not stupid. But strong, very strong.' Garp said shaking his head and patting his right arm which is injured.

' This.. A pirate? ' Sengoku ask.

' No.. No.. ' Garp quickly wave his left hand and explain.

' I lost a gamble ...' Garp said embarassedly.

' What kind of gamble Garp! And talk everything you know.. Huh..' Sengoku said helplessly.

' This.. First when we are on our way back to here and currently at the Calm Belt, a man fell from the sky, around 9000m high above the sea i think. And that man fell not too far from my ship, when i saw him free falling with open arms i thought he will be dead by the impact, but he didnt even scratch and smile cheerfuly. So invite him to the boat, but then he gamble with me..'

' He let himself as a punching bag, and everyone onboard who can injure or bleed him, he will says how he survive from falling high. Then everyone start to hit him, either fist or weapon. Bogard 50 Grade Sword were broken to pieces, he use Armament to his sword, but that man as the punching bag just stood still relaxly. Then the last one is me, i punch him with all my strength including attaching my Armament, he was unscatched, and several of my bones were cracked, and him still without using Armament Haki. ' Garp said truthfully, only some parts were not.

Everyone in the room suck a cold breath, they know how powerful Garp fist are.

' This. Then what did you lose?' Sengoku ask curiously and a shocked expression.

' He said wanted to try how high he can jump, then he fell and meet me and lost his way, so he ask for a free ride until Sabaody Archipelago. ' Garp said scratching his head embarassedly.

' This.. What else?' Sengoku shake his head and ask.

' The investigation actually is wrong, he is actually a swordsman. Many times more stronger than ' Hawk-eye'. That moves the report says that he can cut around him, its the highest swordsman realm. Something called 'Sword Domain' if i remember clearly, ohh i dont know much. You can ask about the sword thing with the other marines on my ship, because i felt loss losing a gamble, i also know him is very strong, so i ask him to be a temporary instructor in the ship. He teach a lot about swordsmanship, many people have more understanding and some even breakthrough the their bottleneck.' Garp said leisurely.

Many people in the meeting room are Swordsman, when they heard that the man named Adam is more powerful than 'Hawk-eyes' they suck a cold breath again..

' Oh yes, also he learn Six Powers in just 1 days, and its profiency is above us all.' Garp said digging his nose.

' What !!!!!'

' How can that be!'

' Impossible!'

' Quite.. Wait Garp, how did he learn Six Powers' Sengoku ask the key question.

' This.. Thats also include in the gamble, a free ride and Six Powers method..' Garp said embarassedly.

' GARPPPPPPPPPP !!!!!!!!' Sengoku blue veins at his forehead almost pop out and shout loud toward Garp face with saliva flying making Garp drench. The shout is loud enough to make the people outside the meeting room heard.

After Sengoku shout loudly toward Garp, the other people shake their head helplessly. Garp pickup the tissue on the table and wipe his face and look around embarassedly.

' That man is very powerful, i need to think about the safety of the people on the ship, including myself.' Garp said weekly, and felt sorry in his heart. If they know that Adam also learn Armament and Observaation Haki in one day, maybe he will directly roared by everyone.

' What else?' Sengoku ask after calming down.

' His speed is twice the speed of light..' Garp said slowly.

' That.. How is that possible ?' A tall man in yellow suit with yellow glasses ask in disbelieve and shocked expression.

' Yes. Twice the speed of light, how can he body bears?' A tall man in red shirt with flowers pattern ask in disbelieve.

' Alalala.. You forget about Uncle Garp right arm. Even Kaido will still be hurt, and that young man called Adam let himself be hit without being scratch. You can think it by yourself how strong it is.. ' A tall man with frizzy and a sleep mask on his forehead with white buttoned-up vest said lazily

The three people who talk were, the three Admiral , Borsalino, Sakazuki and Kuzan.

Hearing Kuzan words, then everyone look toward Garp right arm and felt dignified.

' What else Garp? ' Sengoku ask seriously.

' This, i tried to invite him to join the Marines..' Garp said seriously

Everyone eyes lit up, hoping to get a good answer. Becoming an enemy with a strong man like that would be very troublesome. Just think of Kaido, and now another one. Becoming the same camp is better.

' But he have many request..' Garp said looking around embarassedly.

' Say it.. Its better to be the same camp, rather than unknown or enemy..' Sengoku said seriously.

' Yes, Sengoku is right.. ' Tsuru also talk.

' He said: if he can be promoted in high profile way in the newspaper as 'the strongest man in the world' or 'strongest marine', high profile declaring accepting challenge from any of the Four Emperor, a high rank atleast Vice Admiral, he choose his own ship, including the crew. He will catch the pirate whoom should be catch, he has his own justice. ' Garp said truthfully.

' What is his justice?' Sakazuki ask.

' This.. I dont know, but when we both talk, his says his dream is World Peace. ' Garp scratch his head.

' World Peace, its very hard.. ' Someone muttered.

' Haha interesting.. I like that kid.' Someone said happily.

' Its hard, but with enough strength is can be achieved.' Kuzan who is usually lazy, also start to talk.

Sengoku look around, many people even nod their head, the several request is not too hard. They didnt ask why that man wants fame, because from the report about his doings is enough, that the man love limelight.

' Ok then ill try my best to talk to the World Government, ' Sengoku said feeling good, but when he look at Garp face twitch when he said 'World Government'.

' Bastard Garp ! tell me the truth, what else?' Sengoku ask furiously.

Everyone suddenly heard Sengoku angry again then turn to look at Garp, and they have a bad premonition.

' Cough.... Cough... And the last one request. Cough.. he said he wont accept any order from the World Government. ' Garp said with difficulty and embarassed look, and turn to look at Tsuru with pitiful expression asking for help, but Tsuru just shake her head and ignore him.

BANG !!!

Sengoku tap the table infront of him very hard, making the soldier who just reporting tremble and almost fell because of shock. Before the marine soldier who come to report hearing Garp description about Adam already shock enough.

Everyone in the room twitch when hearing Adam last request, everyone in this room actually hate the World Government, but they can only burried it in their heart.

' Damn it ! Before where 80% he can enter, now almost 50%. What else Garp. Dont tell me theres still a lot..' Sengoku calm himself down after a hard breathing.

' This...' Garp felt very hard want to said it..

' Garp.. Said it..' Sengoku said calmly. Everyone also look at Garp with no patience.

Looking at Sengoku who almost lost his patience, and everyone eyes.

' Sorry kid, i cant help you.. You show off even infront of the soldiers on my deck.. I cant control them all..' Garp thought in his heart.

'Its not another request, but he has the Voice of All Things' Garp said with a sigh..

' Garp.. you... ' Sengoku stop his words and look at everyone shocked face.

' I think everyone didnt heard it.. ' Sengoku said to everyone, with obvious meaning to shut up.

Everyone didnt felt angry with Sengoku, because they know if there is a powerful Marine on their side. It will be very good towards them all.

' Then Garp, you control your soldier..' Sengoku said without looking at Garp.

' But Sengoku, that kid like to show off..' Garp said bitterly..

Everyone heard Adam attitude felt headache..

' And if he be a Marine, he will also be a good instructor, beside his strong body and swordsmanship and proficiency in Six Powers, he also has the Legendary Armament Haki...' Garp said seriously.

' What ! Legendary Armament Haki !!'

' Damn ! How can that be? How old is he? 21????'

' Shit. 1 day learn Six Powers more proficiency than anyone in this room. Body stronger than Kaido, movement speed twice the speed of light, the strongest swordsman, and also Legendary Armament Haki?'

' A genius or lucky? '

' Even a super genius wont achive that stage in 21 years old. Remember he is only 21... theres still a lot of growth..'

' If he be our enemy, its very difficult, i wont go suicide..'

' Stronger body than Kaido, plus the Legendary Armament Haki, can anyone hurt him?'

' Wait. Making enemy fell unconscious at the Sabaody, that means he has Conqueror's Haki, continous using it, that means its equal to any of the Four Emperor, then his Legendary Armament Haki, which is only in legend, how about his Observation Haki? '

When everyone ask about Adam Observataion Haki, everyone look at Garp.

' This.. i dont know.. Hahaha' Garp said embarassedly.

' Dont tell me that he also can foresee the future like Charlotte Katakuli, and Tokikake..' A middle age beautiful woman with pink shirt, if you look her lower parts, you can see a huge spider tattoo on her thigh. After saying that, she look towards Tokikake who is beside her.

Then everyone look at Tokikake with helpless expression.Because it will be very difficult to fight with him, who always easily escape. They know that Tokikake have a high talent in Observation Haki that can see the future in a short time, but dont know how long he can see. Only himself know, which is about 2.5 seconds.

' A monster.. ' someone muttered.

' Ok lets pause talking about him, now talk about Perospero.. What should we do ? He is the eldest child of the Charlotte family..' Tsuru knock the table and reminded everyone..

' This, its not us who caught. Let those Big Mom Pirates find Adam, i think he wont mind the trouble.. Borsalino, you go now to Sabaody Archipelago, and escort those 3611 pirates, and put them directly at Impel Down, coincidentally, all the pirates that kid caught all ferocious pirates who only knows to kill and kill innocent people.' Sengoku said and directly order Porsalino the fastest here.

' Okay, i also want to see the kid..' Porsalino sad and stood up and walk toward the door.

' Wait..' Sengoku called him again.

' What else Fleet Admiral?' Borsalino ask curiously.

' You bring the money for the bounty too.. ' Sengoku said with a headache..

' Umm. Okay. You then, how many much money needed left. ?' Borsalino ask to the marine who report who is still standing there.

' Umm.. The total is 7.2 billion berries, already payed 2.2 billion, 5 billion berries left.. But the Sabaody local also ask to store some more deposit for necessary..' the marine reply seriously.

' 7.2 billion berries, thats a lot. Not included the treasure from the ship the pirates he caught.. Okay lets go.' Borsalino walk toward the door and the marine officer after a military salute follow suit.

' Wow thats a lot, many times more than my pension later. HAHAHAHAHA ~! ' Garp laugh.

' Bastard Garp, shut up!! ' Sengoku said angrily.

Garp just dig his nose and sit quietly.

' Ok continue our meeting..' Sengoku said seriously.
