Ch-56 The Shocked Fleet Admiral.

At night, Gion stayed alone in Hawkeye Mihawk's room.

As Li Fan anticipated, Gion took the initiative to ask him to assume this responsibility.

Li Fan also expressed his gratitude to Gion.

In the dead of night, Gion removed the phone bug from his body and dialed Sengoku's number.

Soon, the call was answered.

"Gion, you're calling so late. Is there something new happening with Li Fan?" Sengoku's calm voice came from the phone.

"Fleet Admiral Sengoku, we have made contact with Hawkeye Mihawk in the East Blue Sea!"

"Huh? Mihawk, why did that guy suddenly go to the East Blue Sea?" Hearing that it concerned the World's first swordsman, Sengoku took this matter more seriously.

"Gion, does Li Fan know Hawkeye?"

"No, I think they don't know each other. Fleet Admiral, actually, Hawkeye had a little conflict with Li Fan," Gion said.

"Perhaps out of curiosity about Li Fan, Mihawk drew his sword and attacked him."

"However, Medusa blocked Mihawk's attack."

"Then something very surprising happened."

"To be honest, if Mihawk weren't in front of me right now, I wouldn't believe it was true."

Hearing this, Sengoku's expression became extremely serious.

"Gion, what happened?"

"Fleet Admiral Sengoku, Mihawk was defeated by Medusa and was easily turned into stone by her." Gion took a deep breath.

"It only took a few seconds for Mihawk to lose his ability to move!"

"What?" Fleet Admiral suddenly stood up. "How could this happen? With Mihawk's strength, even if we want to capture him, it will take a lot of effort."

"Medusa actually has the strength to defeat Mihawk easily?"

"What exactly happened, Gion? Please tell me what you saw."

Gion nodded and described everything he witnessed during the day.

"That's all I saw, Fleet Admiral."

"Although I later asked Nami and others about what they saw."

"But they are all tight-lipped about Medusa, and I haven't been able to get any more information from them."

"In addition, I was worried that excessive questioning would arouse Li Fan's suspicion, so I did not inquire too much."

Sengoku nodded solemnly.

"You've done a great job, Gion."

"After this incident, I have determined that sending you to Li Fan is the right thing to do."

"That Medusa actually has the ability to defeat Mihawk easily, so she may also be able to defeat us easily!"

"Gion, you must hide your identity and gather as much information about Li Fan and the people around him as possible."

"We must not let him stand against us in the future, do you understand?"

"I understand, Fleet Admiral Sengoku!" Gion nodded.

"As for how Mihawk was petrified, it seems that the relevant information can only be obtained from Mihawk himself," Sengoku said.

"If he recovers from his petrified state, you can try to ask him for relevant information."

"However, given his character, he may not tell the reason for his failure."

"If he doesn't want to say it, then I'll ask him myself."

"Understood, Fleet Admiral Sengoku," Gion said.

"Then, Gion, pay attention to your own safety. Hang up the phone now. I will also inform Tsuru about the information you gave me."

After the conversation, Fleet Admiral Sengoku hung up the phone.

"Li Fan, Medusa, things are getting a little troublesome," Sengoku knocked on the table and muttered in a low voice.

"No, this matter must be conveyed to Tsuru-chan and other senior navy officials as soon as possible."

After making his decision, Sengoku immediately changed his clothes, left his dormitory, and headed towards the Fleet Admiral's'Office.

"Fleet Admiral!" The navy on patrol saluted immediately upon seeing Fleet Admiral Sengoku.

"Yeah!" Sengoku nodded. "Help me contact Tsuru and the three Admiral. Tell them that I have important matters to discuss."

"Yes!" After receiving the order, the soldier promptly went to carry it out.

Not long after, the Fleet Admiral's Office, which had been quiet, became lively again.

"Fleet Admiral, what's the big deal for calling us here so late?" Tsuru asked after Kizaru finally arrived.

"Yes, Marshal, it's late at night now. I've already fallen asleep, and you woke me up like this." Kizaru rubbed his shoulders, looking a little helpless.

Kuzan and Sakazuki remained silent, waiting for Sengoku to share the information.

Sengoku nodded and briefed everyone in the room about Mihawk.

"You've heard the story. What do you think about this Medusa?" After finishing the story, Fleet Admiral inquired.

"Have you made a mistake? Fleet Admiral, Mihawk is the world's greatest swordsman. How could he be defeated in the East Blue Sea?" Tsuru frowned. "With his strength, even if he fails, he won't be killed instantly."

"Oh, it's really scary. The red-haired Shanks lost an arm in the East Blue Sea before. There must be some monster hiding in that place," Borsalino remarked, touching his chin.

As for the notion that Mihawk was defeated due to his lack of strength, they didn't entertain it.

"He, can you guess the ability of this Medusa?" Sengoku looked at He and asked.

He lowered his head, pondered for a while, and then said:

"The information I have now is too little, and I cannot accurately judge Medusa's abilities."

"However, it is said that Medusa always wears an eyepatch. Perhaps his ability is related to his eyes."

"But no matter what her abilities are, we should exercise extreme caution when facing this woman in the future."

"It's best to minimize our contact with Medusa."

"Vice Admiral Tsuru is right. I don't want to confront such a person." Borsalino nodded and expressed agreement.

"Powerful abilities usually come with activation conditions." At this moment, Sakazuki, who had been silent, spoke up.

"Just like Empress Hancock needing others to be charmed to petrify them, the same could be true for Medusa."

"This matter is of great importance. I believe we should compel Mihawk to reveal what he witnessed before being petrified."

Although Li Fan and Medusa are not pirates, individuals wielding formidable powers will always instill fear, and Sakazuki is no exception to this reality.

"This is natural, but even Mihawk may not truly comprehend why he lost." Sengoku sighed.

"That man has always followed his own path, and there's the possibility he might not disclose the entire truth willingly."

"Li Fan and the others are en route to Loguetown. I'll ask Smoker to investigate the specific situation."

"Now, regarding Li Fan and the Medusa alongside him, we need to discuss how to handle them."
