Chapter 21: Chapter 21 Shocked Sengoku



Babs told Sengoku everything about the Sorbe Kingdom trip.

Hearing this, Sengoku held his chin and thought for a moment, then said: "So many things happened in a small country like Solbe. I've heard of Spangdine. His status in the World Government is not low, but also not that high."

Babs nodded in agreement and thought about how many times he wanted to kick Spangdine into the sea on the way to the Sorbe Kingdom.

Sengoku picked up the document on the table, looked at it one last time, and threw it at the white goat next to him.

The goat squealed and ate it like a live paper shredder.

After the goat growled and swallowed the paper, Sengoku touched the goat's head and said: "Never mind, if the World Government has made a decision, the rest is not our business. Babs, is there anything else you want to say?"

Babs quickly nodded in agreement and, with the excitement on his face, took out the three résumés in his arms and neatly placed them on Sengoku's desk.

Sengoku leaned back in his chair, looked at the résumé on the desk, and asked suspiciously: "Résumés? Recruitment is Zephyr's responsibility, isn't it? Why are you showing them to me?"

"Admiral Sengoku, there are only two Devil Fruit powers here, and one of them is the Dark Fruit!"

"Nani!? Dark Fruit!?"

Sengoku suddenly straightened up, leaned forward, and looked at the three résumés on the table. Finally, he fixed his eyes on Kael's résumé and muttered: "The Dark Fruit? The dark element that is the opposite of Porusalino's Glint-Glint Fruit? Babs, you really surprised me!"

Let me reiterate here that in the previous news Ginny spread at God Valley, only the meatball fruit and blue dragon fruit were mentioned. The other fruits were not mentioned.

The World Government had no plans to allow the Marines to participate in God Valley, and news about the Devil Fruits was kept under strict secrecy.

So Sengoku only knew about the Buddha Fruit he got from Garp, and aside from the Blue Dragon and Meatballs that had appeared, he didn't know what the other fruits were.

Especially the Dark Fruit, a treasure stolen from the Rocks' den by the World Government.

The most valuable and powerful Devil Fruit they had prepared, with the strictest secrecy measures.

And Kael didn't show most of the Dark Fruit's abilities in God Valley, so Sengoku didn't think too much about it.

The only thing he was thinking about now: MarineFord would really be strengthened this time!

MarineFord had obtained three Devil Fruits at the same time: light, dark, and magma.

Anyone with common sense would know these three elements couldn't be weak!

How powerful would these three people be when they grew up!

Before becoming a Fleet Admiral, Sengoku was still very passionate.

He didn't need to waste too much energy dealing with the World Government. That was Marshal Kong's concern.

What he thought about most was how to strengthen the Marines and eliminate the pirates.

As Sengoku looked at Kael's photo on the résumé, his eyes became increasingly fanatical.

Babs was paying attention to Sengoku's expression.

Seeing Admiral Sengoku, the most balanced-minded person, show such a crude expression, Babs couldn't help but feel proud, but he looked a little embarrassed and said: "Admiral Sengoku, I actually don't need to report new recruitment to you, but Kael is only fifteen years old, and that doesn't meet the recruitment regulations. I'm afraid Admiral Zephyr will be very upset when he sees this."

"Rules? What rules? Didn't you see that Kael is 1.8 meters tall? When someone's that tall, why care about age? Besides, this is the Dark Fruit! Zephyr isn't that strict. He understands the importance of this fruit."

"I'm relieved by Admiral Sengoku's words, but there's one more thing. Kael's background is not simple at all. You should have seen how humble the arrogant Spangdine was in front of him."

"Not a big deal. Kael having the awareness to join the Marines means he's a passionate young man who longs for justice. Also, how deep could his background be? Could he be a Celestial Dragon? No way hahaha"

When Sengoku said this, even he laughed: Celestial Dragons enrolling in MarineFord? That's the most ridiculous thing in this world, isn't it?

To get rid of this ridiculous thought in his mind, Sengoku lightly shook his head and looked once more at Berro's résumé.

Huh? Paramecia Meatball Fruit? Sengoku was stunned for a moment and finally remembered what happened in God Valley.

He remembered that Charlotte Linlin was blocked by Saint Shanks, and the fruit was eventually eaten by a tall boy, and then the boy disappeared with three other children.

Sengoku slightly furrowed his brows and began calculating in his mind. Could this bear be that child from back then? Judging by his height, very possible…

Was he once a slave of the Celestial Dragons? A bit troublesome!

He knew Kael wasn't one of them. To him, Kael was someone with a past within the World Government.

But what confused him was how he ended up being hunted in God Valley.

Sengoku pointed at Berro's photo and asked:

"What's the relationship between this bear and Kael?"

"They're friends. From my observations, they have a very good relationship. Berro and Ginny call Kael 'big brother.'"

Sengoku couldn't help but think of Crane, Garp, and himself at that time, nodded with a nostalgic expression on his face, and said:

"I understand… no problem. Take them to the accommodation area to find a place to stay, and go to Zephyr's house to report in two days."

"Yes!"

"By the way, you've worked hard this time and brought back someone very talented. I'll report the situation to Marshal Kong."

"Thank you, Admiral Sengoku!"

Babs gave a military salute excitedly, turned around, and left happily.

After Babs left, Sengoku got up from his chair and began pacing back and forth in the office with his hands clasped behind his back.

Things would get really complicated if the Celestial Dragons got involved.

If it weren't for Kael, Sengoku wouldn't have accepted the bear after learning his identity, but he also couldn't allow the bear to become a pirate!

Should he kill him? No, the allure of the Dark Fruit was too great for the Marines, he couldn't do that.

Sengoku didn't want the future humanoid nuclear weapon Kael to bear a grudge against them because of this.

He relaxed and said:

"Anyway, the Celestial Dragons already have enough slaves, and it's been years. If you cover it up a bit, they probably won't notice..."
