The reason why Dragon specifically mentioned that he wanted to meet Bartholomew Kuma was because it was according to the instructions in this document.
There are three departments directly under the Ministry of Police.
The first is the Public Security Department, which is responsible for managing police stations at all levels and related affairs in each affiliated nation.
The second is the Military Police Bureau, which is responsible for organizing elite police officers to deal with dangerous criminals that ordinary police officers in various police stations cannot deal with.
The third is the Bounty Research Agency, which is responsible for discussing, deciding and issuing bounty amounts and bounty lists.
Among these three departments, the Public Security Department has nothing to say, it is just an administrative department. The Bounty Research Office originally belonged to the Navy Headquarters but has now been transferred to the Tribunal.
The key point is that this military police station has the smallest number of personnel, but it must have strong enough combat capabilities. Otherwise, leaving criminals on land in the hands of the police would be a joke, and they might need the support of high-level Navy fighters.
In addition to the necessary combat power, it must also have high-speed support capabilities. Once a major and dangerous criminal appears in an affiliated nation, they must ensure timely arrival.
In accordance with these two requirements, the first person who came to Imu's mind was Bartholomew Kuma. Although he is still young and his abilities have not awakened, the Police Department is just beginning to organize, so he has time to grow.
Imagine, when Kuma awakens his devil fruit in the future, no matter which affiliated nation or island a target appears that needs to be dealt with, he would only need to send the appropriate elite Military Police based on the intelligence received.
Therefore, in the second document that Dragon had in his hands, Imu revealed Kuma's various future abilities in the form of the data record of the former Paw-Paw Fruit users.
"Go to the Sorbet Kingdom in the South Blue and convince him while you're there." Kong said.
Dragon asked: "But if he is the king of an affiliated nation, can he hold a position in the World Government?"
"I remember that there are no regulations in this regard. The main reason is that there have been no such examples before. Since there are no regulations, it's no problem."
"At most, you can try to get this Bartholomew Kuma to step down from his position as king. I think he should understand the significance of joining the police department."
Hearing what Kong said, Dragon nodded thoughtfully and asked: "What's wrong with the Sabaody Archipelago? The safe zone for Fish-men has just stabilized, so we can't let it become chaotic again."
Kong smiled. "According to the restructuring plan, in addition to leaving the necessary Marine Branches as repair bases for various naval ships, other branches will be converted into police stations."
"You can turn the Marine Branch of the Sabaody Archipelago into a division of the Police Department, it could even be the headquarters, it's just a matter of changing the uniforms and giving it a coat of paint."
Kong's current mood is not bad at all, after all, he has already been confirmed to be promoted to Minister of the Command Department, so his vision and outlook have also been greatly raised.
If he were still the Fleet Admiral of the Navy, it would be difficult to feel happy about this kind of dismemberment of the Navy.
"This is a good idea, but I want to take some people away, is that okay?" Dragon asked.
"Who are you taking?"
Kong didn't think anything of it. There will be a lot of people from the Navy who will go to the Police Department. The first wave will include ten thousand people from the headquarters, with more to follow. So he doesn't care if he takes one or two more people.
"The black cat and the white cat I brought from South Blue. These two Feline-type Devil Fruit users are very suitable for military police."
"There is also Gaspardy, the Special Paramecia-type soft candy fruit possesses abilities that are perfect for capturing live criminals and is also a good candidate to be a military police officer."
Dragon was not polite and told the people he wanted one by one.
The more he listened, the grimmer Kong's expression became.
"Stop, stop... As for these people you mentioned, I can only give you the green light for the two 'cats', but for the others, you should talk to Sengoku."
Dragon shook his head in resignation and thought to himself that persuading Sengoku would be very difficult.
"Hang on a minute!" At this moment, Garp, who had listened to the conversation between the two for a long time, also understood what was going on. He looked at Kong with a grim expression. "As his father, I have not yet accepted that this brat is transferred from the Navy to this Police Department!"
"The World Government Order has been issued and Dragon himself agrees, what do you have to accept or not accept?" Kong looked strangely at Cap as he asked.
[Bang!]
Garp slammed the conference table and said angrily: "I've been training this boy since he was a child to become an outstanding Marine, and now that he's finally grown up, you guys want to get him out of the Navy?"
"I won't allow it!"
Kong frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "It's not about kicking him out of the navy, but the police department really needs Dragon to lead it. This is called rational talent allocation and utilization!"
Garp looked at him coldly. "Hmph, don't think I don't know what you're thinking. Just because the Navy Admiral position is full, you're thinking of moving him somewhere else."
"Nonsense!" Kong was furious and slapped the table again, even leaving obvious palm prints and dents on it.
"Bastard Garp, I'm going to tell you right now, Sakazuki has been transferred to the Army Headquarters. He is now the Army's backup general, and he will be a real General before long!"
"What?" Garp and Dragon were immediately shocked by the news, and the former even shouted in surprise: "With how much the lava kid hates pirates, how could he possibly agree to leave the navy!"
Kong looked at him coldly. "Maybe it's impossible. You don't need to know. Anyway, this is the fact. I want you to know, Dragon was not transferred to the Police Department because the Navy was full, but because he was really needed there, understand?"
"..." Garp was speechless. Even Sakazuki was transferred from the navy to the army, so it was not so strange to transfer Dragon to the police department, but he still felt uncomfortable.
"Well, everything has been said. You can leave now. Dragon, take some time to go to the Court to register. They will discuss the relevant details with you there." Kong said with a tired gesture.
"Ok." Dragon nodded, stood up immediately, then turned into a whirlwind, rushed open the door of the conference room and quickly disappeared without a trace.
This scene made the veins on Garp's forehead bulge, his fists cracked. "This ungrateful brat, he runs faster than he thought!"
Thinking about giving 'special love training' to Dragon, Garp was preparing to chase him when Kong's voice sounded behind him.
"At eight, come to my office. Before I retire from the Navy, I want to see you with that admiral's cloak on, you damned bastard!"
"Uh..." Garp froze there, but immediately disappeared into the conference room without giving any response at all, but Kong's gloating and heroic laughter rang in his ears.
"Hahahahahaha!"

Mary Geoise, Room of Authority.
As Addison reported the progress of the Kabane world, the Five Elders met again to discuss next steps.
"First, let's talk about the special resources discovered so far in this world." Warcury said opening the discussion.
Mars nodded. "First of all, it must be Kabane's cardiac membrane."
"According to reports from the Materials Institute, this material has properties such as transparency, adhesion, blood absorption and resistance to high temperatures."
"It has been concluded that this material is perfect for strengthening swords."
"According to the product that Amatori Biba has in his hands, they discovered that by simply gluing a layer of 'Kabane Heart Membrane', even an extremely ordinary quality blade, they could have the strength of a Grade Blades."
"The most amazing thing is that even if the surface is damaged, simply applying a little blood can slowly heal automatically!"
Hearing this, the other four people raised their eyebrows and became very interested in this.
"And according to the ideas of the Materials Research Institute, not only blades, but also our warships, vehicles, buildings, and even clothes and armor can be used. Because its essence is still a biological membrane, it has very good plasticity."
Hearing this, the other four present in the room also exchanged glances, seeing the surprise and greed in each other's eyes.
They originally thought that the Kabane world did not have advanced combat capabilities, and even the total number of cells in the human body was so small, so they thought that people in this world could only grow food for themselves, raise livestock and so on.
But now it seems that this Kabane world is very valuable in itself!
"Most importantly, this extremely convenient reinforcing material can be considered as a renewable or non-renewable resource, depending on how we view it from different perspectives."
From a humanitarian perspective, deliberately considering it as a renewable resource would be extremely evil and completely contrary to humanity.
But from the benefit value point of view, it would be a shame to look down on these Kabane heart membranes. How could they ignore such good supernatural material right in front of them?
"Cough, cough, let's leave that for now. Is there anything else to discuss?" Warcury quickly changed the topic. Some things were better left implicit for now and discussed at the appropriate time.
"There is also a special resource, which is the technology they call the McRucky Engine. It is a steam engine with innovative vapor compression, which allows for high power output."
"As for the design plans of this type of boiler, we haven't found them yet. According to the manager captured by Crocodile, everything is uniformly manufactured by the shogunate."
"So the relevant drawings should be in Kongoukaku, including the world map we need."
Mars paused, took a sip of hot black tea, moistened his throat, and continued talking.
"Although we don't have the plans, Dr. Vegapunk managed to understand the principle behind these high-pressure steam boilers after taking them apart."
"What did he say about it?" Ju Peter asked.
"Dr. Vegapunk suggested that by simply building enough appropriately sized high-compression steam factories, along with a seawater impurity filter, we could produce a constant supply of 'high-compression steam'."
"Then installing the McRucky Engine on warships or sea trains can provide us with clean energy for a long time in an extremely convenient way."
"This is a perfect technology for our world where 90% is the sea!"
Upon reaching this point, Mars was visibly excited, his body trembling slightly. As part of a world's ruling elite, he understood all too well what it meant to have an abundant supply of clean energy.
"So what are we waiting for?" Nusjuro stood up straight, his eyes became sharp, and said seriously: "I will immediately give an order to the Army Headquarters to ask Bullet and Crocodile to mobilize to immediately suppress the so-called capital of the Shogunate, Kongoukaku."
"The attitude towards the shogunate and the Amatori family is actually something that needs to be discussed at this meeting." Warcury said in a deep voice with his fingers crossed.
"First of all, shall we continue to allow the Amatori family to serve as general of the Shogunate, or should we support a new general?"
"Secondly, once we have subdued this country, should we grant it affiliated nation status?"
"Also, should we accept Dr. Arata Soue's request to join the Institute of Biochemistry and how should we arrange things for the Shogun's abandoned son, Amatori Biba?"
