[Chapter Size: 1800 Words.]

Third Person POV

Marinefort, First Half of Grandline.

...

...

"The Germa 66... the one that dominates the North Blue...?" Someone asked in surprise, as everyone looked at the woman with pink hair.

"Yes, and we were instructed to place a special condition on her bounty. And there's nothing we can do about it," Sengoku spoke, interrupting the discussion that had started among them.

"But her abilities... She can heal herself!" Someone exclaimed after watching her fight on the screen.

"She has a power similar to Marco of the Whitebeard pirates, doesn't she?" Someone asked one of the vice admirals who had fought against her.

"Yes, we believe her beast is a Phoenix as well. Which is quite strange, there shouldn't exist two similar fruits here," Yamakaji commented.

Sengoku frowned. "Yes, but we can't find anything impossible coming from this crew, after all, they have beasts that have never been registered before in any documentation, their fruits are unique." Sengoku spoke based on the information he had.

"Due to her condition and powers, after all, she fought against 2 of you at the same time and with her regeneration through flames, managed to keep fighting even at a disadvantage, a bounty of 200 million is appropriate with the condition of capture alive only." Sengoku said.

"Isn't that too much, Sengoku?" Someone spoke up.

"No, it's still low given her standards." Sengoku insisted, and no one else objected.

The next person to appear on the screen was Lami, fighting against Doflamingo while piercing his heart, cutting his fingers, using the ope ope no mi very well. "The world government is interested in her fruit, besides her already being a quite dangerous threat," He continued, as the elders wanted her alive and asked to place her bounty with a special condition as well.

"Let's place a bounty of 300,000,000 on her with the condition of capture alive," Sengoku said, and no one disagreed, after all, she was quite troublesome when she opened that field of her fruit.

"Now, onto the next," Alvida appears attacking Cancer. "She possesses the smooth-smooth fruit, she showed herself to be a powerful combatant and even managed to stop one of ours, but didn't show as much potential, a bounty of 100 million would be appropriate." He said and no one voiced their opinion on this.

On the next screen, Zoro appeared, fighting against vice admiral Strawberry, in a very powerful and intense sword fight. However, Zoro still won in the end.

"This swordsman seems quite promising, I believe a bounty of 250,000,000 wouldn't be so bad," Strawberry commented.

"250,000,000, just because he defeated you? No, it's disgraceful. Put a bounty of 200,000,000," another vice admiral spoke.

"You say that because you haven't seen his abilities. This swordsman is a danger to the sea and will become stronger." Strawberry insisted.

"No, let's place 200 million on him," Sengoku gave the final word.

"Now, onto the next, the second most troublesome," Sengoku announced, before the screen showed Yamato emerging while fighting against 2 vice admirals. Tsuru in one corner, narrowed her eyes, after all, this was her opponent in Enies Lobby.

"She already has a bounty of 400,000,000, due to her genes. However, this fight proved she has more than just her father's genes, using even his abilities and revealing she possesses a Mythical Zoan that appears only in Wano. Let's increase her bounty to 600 million," Sengoku announced, and no one disagreed.

"Now, the next," He sighed, as the screen showed 2 admirals and a man fighting against the 2 alone. "Monkey D. Luffy, the grandson of Garp, son of Monkey D. Dragon, a supernova, the worst pirate of this era, who reminds me of Rocks himself. A rookie with a bounty of 750,000,000 without stepping into the New World. Yes, he is all that and more. A worldwide threat, someone who can lead a group so dangerous and managed with rare and powerful Akuma no Mi, still rapidly growing, evolving his own crew." Sengoku started the speech, taking a breath before continuing.

"The World Government would have eliminated this threat immediately in other times. His current bounty no longer reflects his strength and actions, he faced a Yonkou commander and won, all the admirals and still survived, as you've seen, his powers are much more than just a powerful and unique mythical zoan. We've concluded that he is a dual akuma no mi user…"

"Is that true?!" An admiral seemed alarmed.

"Yes, he possesses a second fruit that is almost imperceptible, since it's not something so tangible and he seemed to hide it very well, but from what we've seen and investigated he possesses the Moa Moa no mi after we discovered that its user died in Impeldown without anyone knowing, ending up in the hands of Garp's grandson making him a unique existence in the sea." He concluded.

"This can't be true... Then he is something we should use all our resources to eliminate!" Exclaimed another person.

"Let's increase his bounty to 1 billion with the special condition, after all, the World Government wants him alive." Sengoku announced.

"A billion? Are you sure? It should be, at the very least, one and a half billion," someone questioned.

"Even if 1 billion doesn't represent his current strength, we cannot increase his bounty beyond this, after all, that would give him a fame we wouldn't like, since this pirate could inspire many others to become outlaws," was Sengoku's response.

No one else spoke and Sengoku continued, "You know they have more members, and we have some footage, but are a bit limited. Some that stand out, was the dog that we saw its transformation for the first time, Nico Robin who defeated the most talented CP9 agent with ease, and a member who was part of Doflamingo's crew and is now with the Straw Hats fighting alongside them. We will increase their bounty and the other members', but without any special attention." He finished the topic on bounties and would move to the next.

"Seeing the level of this group, the government would now be moving the navy and its force to end such a threat. However, something more serious came to us, and also a chance to end Whitebeard." He spoke and everyone nodded seriously, after all, this would be the biggest event of the era.

A possible war against the Whitebeard pirates at a public execution of one of his commanders.

"We can not only destroy Whitebeard, but Monkey D. Luffy has close ties with Portgas D. Ace, he might also appear and we must prepare ourselves for a war at this scale and not fail in ending Whitebeard and Monkey D. Luffy. This will give us the chance to end this era of pirates that Roger created and clean the sea of them," Sengoku spoke.

"We can fight them, Monkey D. Luffy has proven to be someone who can hold off 2 admirals in battle." Someone spoke rationally, Whitebeard was already the strongest man in the world, having Monkey D. Luffy and his crew along wouldn't it be even more troublesome?

"You speak the truth, but let's summon all the Marine Elites, Shichibukais, and the Government will give us support so we can catch all of them as promised. Then we will be quite prepared." Sengoku spoke.

"That's good…" Some concluded, after all, the fight wouldn't be easy.

"How is Doflamingo?" Sengoku asked looking at one of the officers.

"In a coma in the infirmary, no one knows when he will wake up…" He answered.

"That's quite troublesome…" Sengoku commented, clenching his teeth, hoping that by some miracle, Doflamingo would wake up for this war, witnessing his strength.

"Aren't you going to tell him?" Suddenly, Kizaru's voice was heard in the room while everyone fell silent, he was speaking with Akainu at his side at that moment.

"What do you mean by that?" Sengoku turned to them at that moment.

Akainu growled and glared at Kizaru who immediately opened his mouth, saying. "Scary...!"

"My den den mushi... It was stolen..." Akainu growled with some shame, he didn't even notice when Luffy had taken it.

"What?!" Sengoku exclaimed with some anger.

"Yes... That damned pirate stole it," Akainu responded.

"Why would he do that...?" Sengoku wondered, after all, there was a tracker, and Luffy wouldn't be so foolish to do something like that. "We'll look into this later. Now, let's discuss strategies for this war!" He announced as they prepared to talk about the upcoming top-tier war.

Meanwhile, outside of Marineford, the marines returning from Enies Lobby were getting back to their routine, but still quite disheartened.

"Hey, don't be like that... he was really powerful," someone said next to Lucy.

"I know... but I couldn't even do anything..." Lucy commented, reminiscing about the battle, even though she had become strong and was happy to see her brother, seeing the difference in power made her quite down.

'He protected me and was willing to kill an admiral for my sake... Meanwhile, I could only watch him do everything in the battle...' Lucy thought to herself still disheartened, she looked up at the sky without stopping to wonder. "Can I reach you one day, brother...?" She said to herself as she continued with the routine, unaware that Ace had been captured.

Elsewhere in the middle of the sea, there was an atmosphere different from that of Marineford, there were two ships in the middle of the sea, while more than 20 people celebrated animatedly, Luffy went to a corner of the ship, it was time for him to have a small talk with a distinct group...

He took out Akainu's special den den mushi from his pocket while eating a piece of meat, and drinking a bit of sake, preparing for a very special conversation, he looked back and called someone.

"Bepo, come here!" He said, and the polar bear approached.

"Yes, captain?" He seemed a bit confused.

"I want you to control some of those huge rocks in the planet's orbit and prepare them to be launched at Mary Geoise." Luffy said with a smile to a shocked Bepo, after all, he knew that after what happened today, the World Government could very well try to retaliate against them in various ways, so Luffy was about to have a special conversation with the five elders for the first time with Akainu's communicator and who knows... throw some meteors at the holy city to prove that the World Government can't mess with him and his people so easily.
