Chapter 48

At the same time, while the newly-minted team of the "Blood Star" healed their wounds, in the main headquarters of the Marines - Marineford.

In the already familiar office of the commander-in-chief of the admiral of the fleet, there were two people, or rather, two old friends. Sengoku and his comrade-in-arms Monkey D. Garp. They chatted, as always, about different topics and Garp enjoyed the cookies.

- Listen Garp, how is your grandson doing there? Not going on patrol yet? Sengoku asked smiling.

After this question Garp sighed and said:

- If only, this shket keeps telling that he wants to become the "King of Pirates" and does not want to listen to me ...

- Ah-ha-ha, your grandson reminds me of someone, the same .... - the admiral did not have time to finish, as a sound was heard.

* Bullet ** Bullet ** Bullet *

Sengoku looked displeasedly at one of the Den-Den Mushi, then frowned and picked up the phone.

- Cuzco, something happened?

A rough voice came from the other side:

"Yes, sir, you asked me to report everything about the guy who killed Shichibukai.

- This is true. - The admiral agreed.

- Um, so ... Something unpleasant happened ...

- Don't Tomi Cuzco, speak as it is - Gave the order to Sengoku.

"Um, ok sir. On your order, two Rear Admirals Meiser and Graves were sent to negotiate with him. Today we were informed that they died in the line of duty. - Gave the report to Cuzco.

- What do you mean died ?! How? - growled the admiral.

"They were killed, a rookie team called the Blood Star, their captain, James D. More, the very one who killed Crocodile. - explained Cuzco.

At this point, the admiral almost broke the transmitter, but then calmed down and said with a sigh:

- Cuzco, bring me the report, immediately.

- Yes, sir!

* Bullet * With a characteristic sound, the conversation was over.

- What happened? Garp mumbled lazily, crunching cookies.

Sengoku frowned and sighed.

- Now we will find out ...

The report was not long in coming, and arrived at the Fleet Admiral's office pretty quickly. He did not look at it for a long time and began to read it. As he read it, different emotions slipped on his face: surprise, respect, anger, rage. Garp noticed all this, but did not distract his friend, but simply waited calmly, crunching cookies. And now, after about ten minutes, Sengoku leaned back in his chair and muttered:

- Damn "D" ...

- Tell us what happened there, and what about "D"? - Garp was curious.

Sengoku looked at his friend and asked:

"Do you remember I told you that Shichibukai was recently killed? - Garp nodded and Sengoku continued: - So, the guy who did this killed three rear admirals, and one vice admiral, almost razed the G-8 and calmly sailed away, officially becoming a pirate.

- Wha-ha-ha-ha, really? And he's not bad! - Garp laughed.

Sengoku's eye twitched and he growled.

- What's so funny?! We haven't had this since Roger's time for a rookie to do something like this, it's a real disaster!

Garp chuckled.

- Come on, send the admiral to capture him, and that's it.

The admiral only sighed at this and said:

- If I could ... Now everything is in a new world, this Kaido is again aggravated with Big Mom, and even if they were here, I doubt that They would approve of that. For them, G-8 has long been an eyesore, and they can attribute this to Jonathan's weakness, but you and I know that he was not one of the weaklings.

Garp nodded.

- Yes, old Jonathan was not bad, it looks like the boy has some skills.

Sengoku agreed and said:

- Why, first he killed Shichibukai, and now the vice admiral, we need to call a meeting, Aokiji is somewhere nearby, maybe he can figure it out. You can't leave it like that, not only is he just a beginner, he is also a "D", and from them there are only problems.

Garp chuckled, but did not answer this, but asked about something else:

- So what is the reward for him? There have been no newcomers with a special award for a long time.

Sengoku thought for a moment and then replied:

- A lot, he killed three rear admirals, and a vice admiral, I would give at least three hundred.

- Three hundred ?! Are you crazy ?! Yes, there are at least five! - Garp exclaimed.

- Ugh! You are crazy! Who gives beginners such a reward ?!

Garp grinned and said:

- I remember that some people received 330 million as soon as they arrived at the Grand Line.

When Sengoku heard this, he sighed.

- Yes, there was a time ... This alarmed many ... I hope this will not happen again ...

***

A couple of days later on the Crusher, the Blood Star's temporary ship.

I was sitting on the bow of the ship and sipping rum, good weather today ... When suddenly I saw a bird in the distance, and was immediately delighted.

"Finally!" - I said in my mind.

The bird flew up to the ship and threw a pack of new awards behind its heads. I picked it up and started flipping.

- Soooo, not that, not that ... Hmm, Oh! - I found one of the awards, which had a familiar face and shouted: - Guys, come here! Award flyers have arrived!

I didn't have to wait long and they quickly approached me, I looked at North and said:

- Congratulations, this is yours. - And gave him a leaflet with his award.

He quickly grabbed it and began to read it deeply, and then exclaimed:

- HURRAH! Damn it, I'm a celebrity now! As many as forty lamas! "His flyer showed a red-haired pirate with a nasty grin. And under the portrait was signed, Dead or Alive, 40,000,000 Belli.

- Well, where is mine? Zoro asked eagerly.

I grinned and said:

- Right now, right now, we'll find everyone.

Next in line was Robin's flyer, whose bounty had gone up just 1 million to 80 million. But her portrait was changed to a more adult version.

And now we come to the three biggest awards, Sanji's first in line. With an award of 100 million Bally. And this time with a normal face, unlike the canon, which was painted there.

- Ah-ha-ha, 100 lyamas, but I'm a thug! - Our cook laughed.

- Hey, fucking - cook got an award, but where is mine ?! Zoro was running out of patience.

- I'll find it right now, don't worry. - I calmed him down.

- Soooo, not that, hmm, here! Haha, not bad, look! - I gave him a leaflet. It depicted Zoro with his typical evil look, which gave goosebumps. He was all bloody, and with a katana in his teeth. His reward was 130 million.

- Hey, what the hell does he have a bigger reward ?! Sanji protested.

- Hehe, envy in silence ... - Zoro grunted.

- What did you say?!

Eh ... Well, away we go ...

Okay, where is my leaflet, apparently, Nami will not have an award, it did not glow much on the G-8, and it does not seem that she is upset by this. But I certainly should have ...

Hmmm, oooo, oooo, that's not bad ...

My flyer depicted me with my typical gambling smile and disheveled hair. My face tattoos were on fire and it added even more intimidation and pathos. Haha, I like it. Although, more I liked my award, namely - 380 million Belli. That was too much, even for me. I expected anything, but almost four hundred ... Amazing.

- Go crazy! Three hundred and eighty lamas! North exclaimed.

I smiled embarrassedly and said:

- I don't even know how it happened ...

- Ah-ha-ha-ha, you blushed Cap! - The redhead burst out.

- Shut up, let's go better with the rewards, we are now great pirates!

- Haha, with pleasure!

On this note, our great drinking began ...
