Send more agents

Marineford Headquarters

"This idiot of a Shichibukai. Garp this is all your fault." Sengoku while eating his senbei shouted at Garp who apparently was just sleeping, woke up with a start.

"What the hell are you shouting about in the morning? Can't you see that I am sleeping?" Garp shouted back. In response, Sengoku threw the half eaten senbei at Garp who he promptly caught it with his hand and started munching the half eaten one.

"It's your grandsons again. Luffy and Ken." Sengoku said after picking out another senbei and bit on it.

"What did they do?"

"They defeated Crocodile."

"Hahahah.. As expected of my grandsons.. Hahahaha.. I already told you that Ken has Haki. A run away pirate can never defeat my grandsons. He is an embarrassment." Garp said.

"He fought against Whitebeard and came back alive." Sengoku shot back.

"We both know that Edward probably took pity on him and he is too old to even care." Garp said as he finished the half senbei and put his hand forward to gulp another senbei only to be stopped by Sengoku.

"Crocodile isn't the main thing here." Sengoku said.

"Oh! Then?" Garp asked.

"We have two missing CP9 agents." Sengoku said with all sincerity.

"Ooh!" This statement did make Garp raise his eyebrows but after a second he ended up laughing.

"Don't laugh. It's highly likely that your grandsons took care of them." Sengoku shouted.

"Then I will be more than happy. Never liked those little ones from Enies Lobby."

"It's not a joke. CP agents are important for the Navy and the Government." Sengoku said. In response Garp got up from his seat and started walking out.

"It's your headache Sengoku. Not mine. They should never have sent CP agents to such a good country. By the way, I will be recommending two new recruits for SWORD." Garp said. This piqued the interest of Sengoku. SWORD was a secret force and very few people could ever be recommended in it.

And Garp mentioning two recruits meant they must be good.

Of course it was Coby and Helmeppo. They had been following the original story and got caught by Garp and were trained by him. Both of them had history with Ken and Luffy so he wanted to see how good they were. And he was not disappointed. Though Helmeppo was a little lazy, Coby in turn motivated Helmeppo. These two were excellent recruits.

"Send over the files. I will forward them." Sengoku said.

Pangaea Castle, Marijoa

"Every D in each generation is a headache."

"This little guy Kenny isn't actually a D."

"Does it matter? He already is following another D."

"I heard that both of the brothers know ninja techniques."

"Probably it's their Devil fruits."

"A Devil that can manipulate surroundings? And even summon a Mink tribe being."

"That is a good question. I have never heard of Devil fruit that can summon a being from another place."

"Batholomew Kuma can send people away and even the Devil fruit Wapu Wapu no Mi can warp people. But I have never heard of a unique one such as these brothers. We need to pay more attention to it."

"We can send more people to Water Seven since there is a chance for them to cross through that island. We can catch and send them to Vegapunk."

"Aren't there already CP9 agents? We need to send in more agents there."

"Send CP8 and CP7 agents."

Meanwhile, after Nero was sent to prison and made sure that he got enough medical assistance, Nami went forward to ask a question from him. Of course, there was almost nothing to know but Nami wanted to try some spells and she never got the chance before. So of course she was ready to 'torture' this new CP agent.

Jabra had been ordered by Ken to contact Enies Lobby after a few days and also say that it was the Straw Hats that ganged up on him. Ken still didn't want to raise too many eyebrows by proclaiming that a single person took him down. Water Seven was still far and they needed to wait before they punched a hole in their plans.

Of course Jabra nodded his head to it. He was now a loyal follower of Straw Hats and would work as their secret agent. In fact, he asked Bon Clay and Mr. 3 to contact Jabra and help him hide away from the Government for a few days. Both of the pirates came running in when Ken summoned them. They expected Crocodile to come down but from the looks of it, their earlier boss came down too easily.

They were really grateful that they had made the correct decision. Of course, when Mr. 2 showed up, Ussop, Chopper and Luffy all became buddies with him. Vivi wanted to go and throw him into the ocean for what he had done to the country but it was Cobra who came and asked her to be more open minded and let bygones be bygones.

And thus the Straw Hats spent a few more days in the country before setting their sails again. This time they had new members in the crew. Vivi, Robin and Caroo. Unlike last time, the three of them had officially joined the crew.

The Kungfu Dugongs protected their ship so everything was fine. Caroo flew them to their ship and in a moment's notice, they were in the ocean. In the last few days, Vivi has been very busy. She gave a speech to the people of the country and assured them that their country would try to do better.

The Log Pose had already been set and thus with new adventures on their mind they started their journey. Surprisingly, the Navy wasn't actually searching for them. For the Navy, the CP agents were more important and they needed to get before he fell on some people's hands. So they were searching for him more inland rather than on the ocean and Smoker also helped in this regard. It was his way of paying back for saving his life and seeing the dark side of the Navy.
