One Piece: Invincible Starting From The Fruit Of Words

Naval Headquarters, Marineford.

As the only Naval Headquarters in the world, the troops here are heavily guarded. Any sign of trouble cannot escape the Marines' monitoring.

Whoosh!

A golden light shot from the sky and landed on the port of Marineford in an instant.

"Who's there?"

The Marine soldiers on guard noticed the golden light and rushed forward immediately.

As the light revealed its figure, many Marine soldiers breathed a sigh of relief.

It was Admiral Kizaru, not the enemy.

However, upon seeing Kizaru's miserable state, many Marines were stunned.

Kizaru was covered in cuts and bruises, with two bloody holes in his chest and abdomen, exposing the flesh and bones beneath.

The surrounding Marines gasped.

Kizaru was a Marine Admiral—who could have hurt him this badly?

"Quick! Get a doctor!"

"Go tell Marshal Sengoku that Admiral Kizaru is back!"

A Marine Vice Admiral quickly gave the order, rushing to assist Kizaru.

At the same time, Kizaru spat out another mouthful of blood, his face pale.

His eyes were hazy, and his consciousness was on the verge of collapse.

Kizaru had been severely wounded by Lucifer, with his abdomen and chest pierced. An ordinary person would have died from such injuries, but Kizaru clung to life thanks to his strong vitality.

He fled all the way, losing a lot of blood and exhausting much of his energy. Support was now the limit.

"This is really bad. Admiral Kizaru's been beaten this badly."

"Is Lucifer really that strong?"

This Marine Vice Admiral knew about Kizaru's mission to the seas. Now, with Kizaru seriously injured and the fleet still not having returned, it was clear who the culprit was.

The Vice Admiral sent Kizaru to the hospital, while the other Marines exchanged looks, their eyes filled with shock.

And beneath that shock was fear.

To many Marines, Admirals were synonymous with invincibility. It was unthinkable for them to be defeated—let alone seriously injured.

It wouldn't take long for news of Kizaru's return in such a state to cause an uproar at Marineford.

Soon, Marshal Sengoku, Vice Admiral Garp, Admiral Aokiji, and other top Marines were informed of Kizaru's grave injuries. They all rushed to the hospital.

However, Kizaru had already fallen into a coma after surgery and could not provide details about the mission.

"Doctor, how's the situation?"

Sengoku asked as he looked at the doctor.

"The situation is dangerous. Admiral Kizaru's injuries are severe, and he has lost a lot of blood."

"Fortunately, his vitality is strong, and after stitching the wounds, he has passed the most critical phase."

"With a month or two of rest, he should make a full recovery."

People in the world of One Piece are physically strong, and as long as they rest, they can recover quickly. A healthy diet of meat also speeds up healing.

Kizaru was a monster in this regard, and his recovery ability was beyond the ordinary.

But even so, it would take a month or two for him to recover fully, showing just how serious his injuries were.

"I understand. During Admiral Kizaru's recovery period, all medical expenses will be handled at the highest level."

"Yes, Marshal."

Sengoku and the others glanced at the sleeping Kizaru outside the ward before returning to the Naval Headquarters building.

With such a major incident, they needed to discuss their next steps.

Meanwhile, Kizaru remained unaware that he had finally earned the paid vacation he had longed for. It would last at least a month, or maybe two.

Kizaru had paid with half his life for this break.

Whether he'd be happy or sad when he found out… well, who knew?

Naval Headquarters Building, Conference Room.

Many high-ranking Marines were gathered in the conference room, the atmosphere heavy with seriousness.

Sengoku didn't speak, and most of the Marine executives smoked in silence, their expressions grim.

"I think everyone knows the situation," Marshal Sengoku said, his voice low as he surveyed the room.

"Kizaru was defeated by Lucifer and came back gravely injured, nearly losing his life!"

"I've just confirmed that Rear Admiral Carl Vados, who called for help, and Rear Admiral Tim, who accompanied Kizaru on this mission, have both been killed."

"The losses to the Marines this time are significant."

Many high-ranking Marines exchanged glances, unsure of what to say. The room fell silent.

Even Kizaru, one of the strongest, had been gravely injured, showing how formidable their opponent was.

Suddenly, Vice Admiral Ghost Spider spoke up: "This is a disgrace to the Marines. Naval Headquarters must take action."

"I propose that we send more troops to bring Lucifer to justice and eliminate him once and for all!"

"Who will lead the team?"

Vice Admiral Flying Squirrel asked calmly.

"Marshal Sengoku, please recall Admiral Sakazuki from the New World!"

Ghost Spider looked at Sengoku.

As the hawkish Vice Admiral, Ghost Spider placed great trust in Akainu, believing him to be the strongest among the three Admirals.

(Akainu often takes the most action and gets the most kills. Aokiji and Kizaru tend to be lazy and less proactive, so it seems Akainu is the strongest.)

"Then who will guard the New World?" another Vice Admiral asked.

The three Admirals were assigned specific roles: one to guard the New World, one to guard Marineford, and one to handle other tasks while protecting Mariejois, the Holy Land.

The deployment of the three Admirals was highly regulated by the World Government and could not be disrupted lightly.
