47. Natalia, The God Of Heat, Akainu's Dissatisfaction!

Naval Headquarters, inside the Marshal's office, Sengoku, Garp, Crane Vice Admiral, and the Three Admirals gathered alongside an additional Admiral alternate, Tea Dolphin. Crane Vice Admiral struggled to maintain her composure, despite her sister, Momousagi, being taken by the group of traffickers. The situation was unpredictable, but Crane Vice Admiral remained composed, mindful of her duty as a Marine.

Sengoku's gaze fell upon Tea Dolphin, his voice filled with authority. "Jiaji, please provide a detailed report on your trip to Banaro Island."

Although Tea Dolphin had returned to headquarters the previous night, the meeting had been postponed due to Akainu's absence. The room was now filled with the top officials of the Marine and the World Government, making it a significant gathering. Tea Dolphin rose from the sofa, a pained expression on his face.

"Your Excellency Five Elders, Marshal Sengoku, Vice Admiral Garp, Staff Officer Crane, and the three Admirals," Tea Dolphin began. "Momousagi and I were ordered by the headquarters to go to Banaro Island and apprehend Blackbeard Marshall D. Teach, the new member of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. We were to bring him to Mariejois and prepare for the imminent battle for the top position."

Tea Dolphin paused, allowing everyone to absorb the information. The three Admirals, Sengoku, Garp, and Crane Vice Admiral, pondered deeply, and even the Five Elders on the other end of the phone bug maintained their silence, lost in thought.

However, this was a group that held significant influence. Their lack of knowledge regarding Natalia was unprecedented. Even with their access to extensive intelligence and historical information, they had no prior knowledge of Natalia's existence.

Akainu's face darkened with displeasure, his voice filled with disdain. "Legendary Devil Fruit? Flames? I find it hard to believe that a mere flame could be so terrifying. My magma has the same capabilities."

His words were met with indifference from Sengoku, Kizaru, Aokiji, and the others. The atmosphere became tense, but Sengoku urged Tea Dolphin to continue with his report.

Tea Dolphin proceeded to describe the events on Banaro Island. He explained how pillars of fire erupted, signaling a fierce battle between Natalia and the Blackbeard Pirates. Everyone listened intently, intrigued by the unfolding events. Tea Dolphin then played a video recording, revealing the aftermath of the battle—a scorched sky and a badly injured Blackbeard. Natalia descended from the sky, carrying Yamato, before the video abruptly ended.

The room fell into a heavy silence as they grappled with the revelations. Natalia was unlike anyone they had encountered before. Garp, however, felt a flicker of familiarity upon seeing Natalia's young face. He couldn't help but recall someone from his past, someone who shared certain similarities, though he couldn't be certain.

The gravity of the situation weighed heavily on everyone present. Sengoku broke the silence, posing several crucial questions. Why did Natalia reappear with only Yamato, leaving behind the others she had taken? What was the motive behind her attack on Blackbeard, and what was their connection? Why was Natalia so powerful with her flame ability? What prompted her hostility toward the Marines? And where had she taken Momousagi after defeating her?

The questions hung in the air, leaving the officials deep in thought. They realized that they lacked the critical information necessary to answer any of these inquiries accurately. Aokiji spoke up, offering a potential explanation for Natalia's formidable flame ability.

"Marshal Sengoku, it's possible that Natalia consumed the legendary Fiery Devil Fruit," Aokiji proposed. His words resonated with those present, who nodded in agreement.

Meanwhile, the Five Elders conferred among themselves, their conversation inaudible to the officials at Naval Headquarters. When they disconnected the call, Sengoku suggested concluding the meeting. However, Crane Vice Admiral interjected, expressing her concern for Momousagi, a potential Admiral candidate.

The Five Elders' response was cold and dismissive. They stated that the matter of Momousagi's replacement would be handed over to the CP Organization. Crane Vice Admiral was left feeling aggrieved and powerless, as the Five Elders ignored the opinions and concerns of their Marines.

Garp, understanding Crane's frustration, comforted her with a wry smile. He knew all too well that the World Government rarely considered the thoughts and feelings of their Marines, even the highly respected Marshal Sengoku.

Just as the room settled into an uneasy silence, Sengoku's desk phone bug rang once again. He picked up the call, and the information he received sent shockwaves through his being. His face contorted with disbelief as he relayed the news to the room.

"Red-haired Shanks, one of the Four Emperors, engaged in a battle with an unknown swordsman at the entrance to the New World."

Sengoku's words hung in the air, leaving everyone in a state of shock and anticipation.
