chapter 27

Through the official channel of the World Government, Mu Feng hurried back to Naval Headquarters in just one day. As the battleship sailed into the harbor, a large group of young Marines, particularly female Marines, surrounded them.

Mu Feng, a young, handsome, and powerful lieutenant general in the department, was like a prince charming that one would dream of. Just by looking into his eyes, one could sense the vitality and charm he possessed. If Mu Feng nodded even slightly at anyone, they would be overjoyed and excited. Mu Feng was taken aback by this attention. After all, it was not common for beautiful women to join the Marines, like Taotu and Hina, who were certainly rare.

"Lieutenant General Mu Feng, Marshal Sengoku wants to see you as soon as you disembark," a young Marine corporal informed him, having waited for a long time.

"Yes, of course," Mu Feng nodded in response.

Soon, Mu Feng arrived at Marshal Marine's office.

"Knock...knock...knock."

After knocking on the door twice, Sengoku gave permission to enter, and Mu Feng pushed the door open.

To his surprise, there was no one inside except for Garp, who exclaimed, "Ahahaha, you're back, kid! You did a great job in the New World, taking down Jack. Come on, there are donuts here. Let's see who can eat them the fastest!"

"Garp! Be quiet!" Sengoku growled.

But Garp paid no attention and continued enjoying his donuts.

Ignoring Garp's antics, Sengoku focused his frustration on the old man. Looking up at Mu Feng, he said, "Lieutenant General Mu Feng, I received a call from Bartholemew Kuma, informing me that Naval Headquarters is planning to hold a roundtable meeting on the Seven Warlords of the Sea. Did you initiate this?"

Although Sengoku's tone was questioning, his determination was evident.

"Yes, I proposed it," Mu Feng responded casually.

Sengoku's anger instantly erupted upon seeing Mu Feng's nonchalant expression. He shouted, "Do you even realize what you've done? Those are the seven notorious pirates recognized by the World Government, directly affiliated with them! Although Marine has recruited them, it is still under the authority of the World Government. And you, calling them directly as Major General Marine? Have you thought about the consequences? Your actions not only diminish the World Government's impression of you, but also jeopardize your future! Even if you become an Admiral in the future, it's the World Government that holds the decision-making power for Marshal Marine. Have you considered that?"

Sengoku's anger continued to rise, especially as he observed Mu Feng's indifferent expression. He was on the verge of exploding.

Even Garp, who was engrossed in his donuts, became perplexed.

What was Sengoku implying?

Was the next candidate for Marshal interested in Mu Feng?

Garp knew he couldn't stay out of it any longer. Putting down his donut, he asked, "Boy, what do you think?"

Mu Feng smiled and replied, "Grandpa, Marshal Sengoku, first of all, can you explain to me the purpose of the Seven Warlords of the Sea? The original intention was to eliminate pirates and balance the power against the Four Emperors. However, if we look at the current situation, Jinbei, Boa Hancock, Mihawk, and Kuma are not causing any trouble. Although they may not be actively helping, they are not causing any harm to the Marines either. On the other hand, the likes of Doflamingo, Crocodile, and Moria have all been misbehaving under the title of 'Seven Warlords of the Sea.' Crocodile interfered in Alabasta's affairs, and Doflamingo caused chaos in Dressrosa. As representatives of absolute justice, we, the Marines, cannot allow such evil to exist. Therefore, let me correct this mistake."

Mu Feng spoke with righteousness and passion, almost convincing himself that he was not just fulfilling a side mission, but upholding Marine's justice.

Sengoku opened his mouth to speak, but ultimately remained silent.

"Sengoku, I think it's best to let Mu Feng handle it," Garp suddenly interjected.

Sengoku stayed quiet for a while, then said with a hint of helplessness, "Mu Feng... what do you plan to do?"

"It's simple, I will confront them, and I will do so forcefully. I will beat them into submission, making them obedient and well-behaved. They won't dare to disobey anymore," Mu Feng replied calmly, as if facing seven insignificant pirates with million bounties.

"Are you sure?" Sengoku finally asked after a moment of silence.

"Yes," Mu Feng responded confidently.

His tone exuded unwavering self-assurance.

"Well, then the matter of the Warlords is in your hands. If you require any support, report directly to me. If they refuse to come, I will help you recruit them under the authority of the World Government. This time, go ahead and do it. Garp and I will support you. And if you do it, do it thoroughly, making them completely obedient," Sengoku said solemnly.

"Rest assured, Marshal Sengoku. None of the seven will be absent from this meeting," Mu Feng smiled confidently. Sengoku looked at Mu Feng with surprise once again, never expecting to be surprised by him once more.

Within three days, the name Mu Feng spread throughout the world once again.

Lieutenant General Mu Feng, representing the Marines, issued a summons to the Seven Warlords of the Sea, commanding Crocodile, Jinbei, Mihawk, Boa Hancock, Bartholemew Kuma, Moria, and Doflamingo to assemble at Naval Headquarters in a week's time.

Any violators would be expelled from the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

The pirate world once again erupted in chaos due to Mu Feng's name.
