Chapter 11 Marine Ford

Grandline.

Marineford.

It was a crescent moon-shaped Island mostly composed of bricks and steels, with black cannons at the edges.

At the back of the Island, standing large, tall and proud is the Marine Headquarters Building, a multistory Japanese-stylized palace, the base bearing a Japanese word meaning "Marine".

Around the buildings four cardinal corners, is a small mountain with a marine building on top and a flag bearing marine symbol placed on top of roof of the each.

Marineford Tower.

Fleet Admiral's Office

Fleet Admiral is the highest possible rank to attain in the Marines, below Admiral, Vice-Admiral, Rear Admiral, and so on.

At the moment, in the brightly lit room, around the table in the mid, sat six tall figures on chairs, a newspaper in each person's hand.

All of them wore big white capes, the glasses man at the center with a mustache had a black coat under his white cape, numerous medals adjourned on his cape as well and he looked around in his late fifties.

Fleet Admiral, Sengoku!

Around him was a similarly built man with black hair, but some recently sprouted white hair could also be seen in his black hair. This man was roughly Sengoku's age, and unlike others, he was currently relishing Senbei.

Vice Admiral, Monkey D. Garp

The other four figures in the room were a well-built, tan-skinned, pink-haired man, a lazier-looking tan man, a tall, muscular man with a square face and a grumpy expression, and finally, a tall uncle with a wretched expression, his right leg on his left knee.

Admiral Zephyr, also known as Black Arm Zephyr.

Vice Admiral, Kuzan.

Vice Admiral, Sakazuki.

Vice Admiral, Borsalino

Almost all the top combat power of the current navy was gathered in this room, anger could be seen on the face of Sengoku and Zephyr.

"Sengoku, tell me whose responsibility is this, how can we even allow such dangerous pirates to enter South Blue, what about those who died?!!"

Zephyr spat towards Sengoku, his tone revealing how much he hated pirates, the justice in his heat seemed unshaken.

Ha….

"It was our incompetence I don't have any excuses, but I do know admitting that the mistake won't change anything, so take 5 warships with you and hunt him down at any cost, Z!"

Sengoku taking a deep breath calmed his anger and admitting his mistake, he gave the orders to Z, hatred for the killer could be seen in his eyes.

"Hmph! At least you know to admit your mistake!" Snorted Z, at his words, but his tone was somewhat soft this time, also understanding it was not Sengoku's fault completely, the world is so big, not every point can be guarded.

*Crunch! *

"Bastard Garp! Are you even paying attention at all?!!" But at this moment, the voice of food being chewed spread in the room, Sengoku roaring towards Garp, snatching the senbei from his hands.

"Damn Sengoku! Stealing again!"

*Crunch! *

Garp stood up in anger, but it was of no use, Sengoku poured all the senbei down his throat in Garp's desperate eyes.

"By the way, I will look for him as well Sengoku, Marine needs a potential seed like him" Zephyr ignored Garp's anger, as turning the page of the newspaper he spoke pointing at the picture forefront.

….

"Haoshoku... this age is getting scarier~" There was silence in the room at Zephyr's words, until Borsalino broke it, speaking in a unique manner, his lips curled up.

"The boy who walked out of hell huh! if he really is a survivor of that Island, his heart would be full of hatred for pirates, we really need to find him, Sengoku -San"

Absolute justice appeared to be written on Sakazuki's face as he spoke bluntly and honestly while ignoring the wretched uncle.

"The order to find him has already been conveyed to all navy branches in South Blue, but you should look for him as well, Z. Even if his face is not visible, it was confirmed by Morgan's that the person in the image is a child."

"Cipher Pol and everyone else is looking for him already, a child with such potential. Everyone wants to brainwash him for their purpose. Even the World Nobles seem to have gotten a wind of this matter and have demanded to catch him. They want to make him a powerful slave."

"Try your best to find him before anyone else does, Z. That child has suffered so much already, I don't want him to go through hell anymore."

Said Sengoku with a serious look on his face, some pity for that child in his eyes, reminding him of someone else who went through something similar.

"Hn, I'll depart immediately, just leave everything to me!"

Nodded Zephyr with a heavy look on his face as after assuring Sengoku, he immediately strode out of the room.

South Blue.

Centaurea.

An Island in the endless blue sea, Centaurea is famous for being the hub of all vicious criminals, pirates in south blue, a lawless Island, where only strength is recognized.

On the streets, alleys, blood could be seen everywhere, even the air reeked of blood, vicious pirates walked everywhere, women, children, with chains around their ankles, neck, being sold as slaves at every corner as well.

At a somewhat broken building,

In the somewhat dark room, lay by the wall a burly figure, around 2 meters in height, a golden axe lay by his side, a candle burned by his side as well, illuminating his bald head, blood rinsing down from his chest to the floor.

"Haoshoku…haha!! as expected from a D. anyone bearing the name truly lives a checkered life…. I…can't stay here after all…"

"You don't have much time…I'm coming…."

"Connor D. Rox!!"

Thud…

The bald man spoke while grinning and his teeth shone in the dim light. He stood shakily and picked up the golden axe by his side, blood dripping down onto the shattered floor.
