Navy Headquarters, Marineford.
The Fleet Admiral's office.
The steel-boned man slammed his fist on the table, causing the table to crack.
"You mean to tell me that you failed the mission, even though you went there in person, and you were beaten by a young girl?" he asked, struggling to contain his anger.
Over the den den mushi, the voice of Sengoku replied, "Yes, the previous information was incorrect. This Nico Robin's strength is beyond belief. Not only does she possess two types of Devil Fruit abilities, but she also possesses a super powerful Armament Haki. It can be said that her Armament Haki is compared with yours, Fleet Admiral Kong!"
"What! That is clearly a lie! She is only 8 years old and you're saying she's as strong as I am? Do you take me for a fool, The Steel Bones Kong!"
Hearing that Sengoku was questioning the strength of an 8-year-old girl, Kong was speechless.
"Uh, no, I mean, her Armament Haki isn't much weaker than yours. Anyway, it's much stronger than mine and Borsalino's Armament Haki!" Realizing his mistake, Sengoku quickly corrected himself.
"Wait! Are you serious? The 8-year-old girl's Armament Haki is really that strong?" Kong asked solemnly.
"Yes, Fleet Admiral. I cannot lie about this. And although the mission was not successful, I obtained three crucial pieces of information."
"What information?" Fleet Admiral Kong's expression was filled with sarcasm. Despite his anger, he still trusted Sengoku. If Sengoku couldn't handle this situation, then it must be a complicated matter.
"First, I analyzed how Nico Robin managed to seriously injure Sakazuki last time. Although I cannot be certain, she likely has the ability to temporarily stop time. However, the duration was brief and not long enough for her to launch a fatal blow calmly."
"Second, Nico Robin's strength may be much greater. Her teacher seems to have prohibited her from using certain abilities for training purposes. For example, the Armament Haki she used today, if not for me and Borsalino's teamwork, she wouldn't have revealed it at all."
"And her teacher again? Where is her teacher?" Every time Fleet Admiral Kong heard about Nico Robin's teacher, he felt uneasy.
"The third point is about her teacher."
"We haven't seen the teacher yet, but what's certain is that the mysterious teacher is incredibly powerful and fearless enough to visit Marineford. They may even be stronger than a powerful figure like the Golden Lion. But fortunately, their interest seems to be solely in teaching, and their intentions towards others are unknown..."
After listening to Sengoku's three pieces of information, Fleet Admiral Kong fell into silence.
The strength of the teacher was comparable to, or even greater than, the Golden Lion Shiki.
And an 8-year-old disciple could hold their own against Sengoku and Borsalino and may have a trick up their sleeve...
In comparison, eliminating the Ohara archaeologists was no longer a priority.
"Where is this power coming from?" Kong was furious. "If the teacher has more disciples like this, they would be a force to be reckoned with, like the three Great Pirates crews, Roger Pirates, Whitebeard Pirates, and Golden Lion Pirates!"
"If they are just pirates, then it's not a big deal. But if they are revolutionary forces..."
Kong scratched his hair and felt that the number of his white hairs had increased.
"Understood. Please come back quickly and tend to the injured. The pension of the deceased Navy personnel will be raised by 20% as per the standard, and then a sea burial ceremony will be performed." Kong hung up the den den mushi and dropped it after uttering these words.
He then leaned back in his chair, deep in thought. The emergence of such a powerful force was a threat to the stability of the world. He needed to gather more information and come up with a plan to deal with this new challenge. He couldn't let his guard down, even for a moment. The safety and security of the world depended on it.
Also, the five elders tell him to do that earlier...
...
The events were constantly distressing.
Soon, Navy Admiral Sengoku reached Ohara but was quickly defeated and the news of his defeat spread quickly.
Qin Tian also got shock points from this event.
Just as Qin Tian had anticipated, the Navy did not return to Ohara after this visit.
However, Robin's Bounty amount was raised to an unprecedented 500 million!
His bounty amount was even further increased to 750 million!
A few days later, the Navy sent a messenger to request a meeting with Robin's teacher, but the messenger was rebuffed by Saul.
The Navy did not cause any more trouble, but the people of Ohara remained vigilant. They trained even harder in martial arts.
They had learned the truth that only strength can provide protection.
The residents of Ohara became increasingly energetic, but as time passed, Robin's face smiled less frequently.
Despite her reluctance to face it, the day finally arrived when she would have to face her fate.

I have bad news for readers of this novel, I truly apologize but I will stop translating it at the moment, not because I don't want to finish it, but because I couldn't find more raw to translate it. It's tiring to rewrite the raw that's available on Webnovel. I will translate it if someone volunteers to provide the raw for me.
