"What!"
"Vice admiral Odamo, you must be joking,"
"This is a near vice admiral we're taking about,"
If before everyone was just suprised of the killng of a rear admiral, now they are reall y shocked about what they just heard. The information said from Odamo mouth is not some simple scrub were you can just brush off and act like its nothing. This is a big deal, just from this statement made by him many details can be futhered out by just such small amount of words.
One should know that even though rear admiral and vice admiral rank is like the difference between a pond and a river they still have the qualifications to enter the battle of their rank and lend a helping hand in the supporting department. Strawberry might be technically still in the ranks of rear admiral but the power he wields is far greater than those persons which are in that rank.
This is so because Strawberry has grasped the two haki's that one should have to enter into the next rank. But thats not all, grasping and attaining a decent amount of mastery in those areas bring stremendous increase in not just strength but also the ability to predict incoming movements of the enemy.
The higher the proficiency, the more powerful you become and without having these two spirtual essences non haki users simply can't tend to such users. Which now lead them to to be the mainstay the world and they are person in the great route who has unlocked probably one.
However, its a different story in the new world because even the wezkest person have haki. Thats to show this is not no normal thing because a great route user was defeated by some of the edge of the world. How can they not loose there former calm and flare out instantly.
The shocked lieutenant generals looked on Odamo trying to see of he was joking but seing him standing their without any sign of denying they couldn't help but be more suprised. Then their expression changed when they thought of something, they hurriedly through the paper they had then looked on the poster of the pirate.
"Looking on the face of the boy he really looks quite young,"
"Such a young lad killed a candidate vice admiral,"
"Just how old is he,"
Looking on the poster once, many individuals were on the edge.
Seeing the reactions of the surrounding soldiers, Sengiku face was still as flat as dough, he clasped both of his hands which were on the table then said.
"From what the intelligence department said the age of the boy should not pass 14 years old."
"WHAT,"
Many called in shock as they stand around the table, even the persons who were silent had a touch of seriousness on their faces. Numerous person were shocked by the fact that a West sea pirate could kill a soon promoted Vice admiral rank but when they heard the estimate of the boy's age they were horrified.
When they were around that age , they were still in the navy's academy while probably others were still mopping the floor. The power and rank they have today, was after years of hardwork and strengthing themselves but a boy who was not above 14 years old can kill a near vice admiral rank person .Who has has grasped both hakis , this made their backs feel cold. Because, this present the high talent of Joshua.
"But how can he kill a haki user,"
"Can he use haki too,"
"But how is that possible,"
The once silent room was quite was completely broken down, a West sea pirate killing a near Vice admiral is really a big thing. Because a non haki user can't beat a person with haki on almost all cases which brings them to the fact that the boy might be able to use haki as well which caused many to feel unbelievable.
"No he can't stay,"
Everyone voiced their words with a ruthless determine expression, because Joshua really can't stay cause not only is his talent terrifyingly high and he who is a pirate, thats a huge potential threat to the navy. So as people of justice they most elimanate such person at any cost.
Odamo who was silent fell his heart sank to rock valley, he has never thought the boy was so young, he has never thought Joshua would continue spring out after many attenpts to kill him and now he has brought upon the navy a high potential enemy. He shiveres which anger, all he could do was hold down his head as he continue to feel the persons look on him with blame intent. But he does not dare say anything because all this happened due to his incompetence.
With that being said they can realize why the fleet admiral called a meeting, because this matter is of utter importance. Sengoku raised his hand then everyone calm down, as a person who his called a wise general from Roger's era his vision is far beyond and he has already noticed the seriousness of this matter. Therefore he directly took this in his own hands without giving it to admiral level.
"Does the West sea have some terrible monster hiding," a tall slim figure who had a sleep eye mask said as he raised his lazy upper body from the chair's back, leaned forward then rested both hands on his legs. He wore long sleeve blue shirt , white vest with matching pants, they navy coat he had on, had golden epaulettes with and becuase of his power his cuffs were of a blue colour.
The is newly promoted Admiral Kuzan otherwise known as Aokiji.
Kuzan asked with a somewhat sleepy expresion, their seemed to be no other way to explain how Joshua was able to defeat Strawberry. Kuzan didn't think Joshua learn't it by himself or somejow just start to consciously use it, because the West sea is simply not the Grandline, this place is where the strong, the weak get chopped down on a daily. So if he really learn't it while travelling in the greate route it would be less suprising but the current situation says otherwise.
"This is a possibilty, but I don't think so," Sengoku eyes flashed as he lightly rubs his knuckles. As a fleet admiral his attention is generally in the grandline and mostly in the New world. He would not pay attention to pirates in the four seas but when he heard of Strawberry's death and who and how he died. He immediately supressed the news from going out, even though their might be a few persons who know what happened, the lot are kept in the dark.
The navy's intelligenace network is wide and almost everything can be pick up instantly and they can supress or release any news at will so this is not suprising. So this brings out to the movement of any person and so any who leaves or enter the new world or grandline they will pick it up under their radar. So for any dangerous figure to be harbouring in the West sea he did not really thinks so.
"Are you saying that he learn't it by himself ," Kuzen eyes flashed with a haze of white light. If that is so Joshua's talent is horrible.
"Such a possibility cannot be ruled out," Sengoku didn't give a direct answer but made his statement in a low hoarse voice.
Nothing can be said clearly, there are many speculations that hand and to role out one the many can be detrimental. So only hunches can be made even is did not lessen the danger that Joshua may bring to them.
"Judging from what was gathered, it was said he has grasped atleast three navy techniques and the devil fruit he uses seems to be a special logia type," an old lady who was to the right of Sengoku interjected as she crossed her legs. She wore an untucked in shirt, a pink pants with some light designs, the navy coat she had on, had golden epaulette on the outer section and the inner region was of a purple colour.
This is Tsuru, the Great Staff Officer, a veteran marine vice admiral who has a close relationship with Garp and Sengoku.
"Yes we are not sure where he required those ..." Sengoku said as flicker of white light ran through his eyes. For the navy, the six styles technique is a very special set of skills which were spread to the upper ranks of the navy. Even though it goes as far down to a few lower ranks it is not much. But Sengoku didn't think much there will always be a leakage of any given thing at some point.
"But the devil fruit on the other hand seems a be special as Tsuru," said Sengoku added as he rubbed his beard lightly.
"Why is that so," Kuzan asked in a lazy tone."
Fire is a grade lower then like elements like mamga lightning etc but this fruit is not," Tsuru spoke slowly as he answers Kuzan question.
"The black flame fruit, the power is far more powerful than fire element, the latent heat of it is not something regular fire can compare and with all put together the power is as would not loose to types like lightning.Which can be seen how it was labeled as special, this also because, not any ordinary way can extinguish these flames." when she was finished, she placed both her hands on the table.
Even though they don't know every fruit in the world with the information and anayltical of Tsuru, she dares to put the fruit that Joshua wields at such high place.
Everyone was silent but based off of what Tsuru said they can infer that if such fruit is continues to be developed even Akainu mamga would not be able to extinguish or even burn out Joshua's fruit.
"Hey, another troublesome guy has appeared again ," Kuzan said as he placed the sleep mask over his face then leaned back in the chair.
"We should immediately deal with this person, if not I'm afraid he iell probably the most terrifying supernova," Tsuru old powerful voice travelled along room silencing even the light winds blow. Kuzan didn't say anything, the one who was at eating donut gave no comment. Those who were in her rank or above didn't say a word in oppostion because her judgement was basically right on point.
Less than 14 you can kill candidate vice admiral....
Wields one of the strongest logias....
Probably have some haki attainment....
You must kill him quickly, such a person can never no must not be allowed to grow.
"Good, this what I also thought from the very beginning," Sengoku eyes swept across everyone has he spoke. As he the person who directly took over Joshua's movements, Sengoku has long sentenced Joshua to death because as a person who is loyal to justice, he can't let any forms of threat go which will put the navy at risk, he simply cannot.
All the crimes that Joshua has committed he should be immediately brought to justice and perish under the glory of the banner.
"You know what to do right, Odamo,"
Sengoku eyes glowed with slight red as he looked on Odamo who was till standing. Everyone cast their gaze at the bald hedded figure, the situation is abovious, as the one who let the' catepillar continue jump around and now it about to form a cacoon.' You are the one who has to deal with immediately it before that happens.
"Yes sir," Odamo bowed again then siad with a heavy voice.
"What is his current status,"
"He should be in the West sea heading towards the grandline now,"
"Make sure you kill him before he set foot in there, do you understand," Sengoku eyes shrapen even more under the circled frame glasses as he looked on Odamo.
"I understand sir, " Odamo siad solemnly. eventhough Joshua did kill a candidate vice admiral rank, its still not in the league of vice admiral so the power differ by a junction.
"Good, meeting dismissed, Sengoku lightly said, then everyone went out, except a few.
"What would be his bounty amount now," Tsuru asked as she looked on the figure at the main seat.
"This is what I I think," Sengoku replied as he wrote an amount on the paper then drove the paper which was on the table over to Tsuru with his hand.
Tsuru took up the paper and her eyes slightly shrank however, she then nodded even though the amount is somewhat considered high. But judging from the future danger and threat level of Joshua, this is the lowest-high figure that they can place on him.
