Headquarters, Marineford.
"Big Mom is dead."
Sengoku glanced at Garp, who was chewing senbei without a care, fiddled with the documents on the table a little, and said in a deep voice.
"Dead? Did that Atlas do it?" Vice Admiral Tsuru gently put down the hot tea in her hand, a little surprised. She then frowned, deep in thought. "I remember..."
"Previous reports mentioned that Kaido seems to have joined forces with Big Mom. That little guy faced two Sea Emperors and killed one at the same time?"
This is astonishing. Even Rocks back then would have found it difficult to achieve this.
No one can face two top fighters at the same time. This is an iron law in the pirate world.
Just like the original sea overlord Rocks, didn't he also fall at the Valley of the Gods with the cooperation of Roger and Garp?
And has that young man grown to this point now?
Vice Admiral Tsuru's expression was somewhat dazed.
This kind of monstrous physique and speed of progress are simply unheard of.
"Bwahahaha! As expected of a Marine I personally selected from East Blue, he didn't embarrass me!"
Garp slapped his thigh excitedly, foam flying everywhere from his mouth.
Sengoku ignored Garp, took a sip of tea, and then said slowly, "The Five Elders have blatantly encouraged the pirates to respect themselves. They just issued an order for Akainu to withdraw and did not allow him to completely destroy the Big Mom Pirates."
"Wait? Tell Akainu to withdraw? Where is that little guy Atlas?"
Vice Admiral Tsuru quickly sensed something was wrong.
From Sengoku's words, there was no follow-up news about Atlas.
Moreover, according to the little guy's character, it was impossible for him to let the rest of the Charlotte family escape.
"He was hit by Kaido into the sea and was washed away by the current."
"..."
"But with his miraculous recovery ability, nothing should happen to him. He will be back soon."
Vice Admiral Tsuru chuckled, "That's right. Although I don't know where his strange abilities come from, his survivability is definitely the best in the sea."
"The New World is much cleaner now. The two Sea Emperors were killed by that brat. It is already the strongest in the world."
"However, on the World Government side..."
Vice Admiral Tsuru calmly analyzed, "The balance of power they have maintained has been broken, and Atlas's existence is too eye-catching. The World Government will inevitably be wary of him."
In the past, even if strong players like Garp appeared, Mariejois might not care much. But with the emergence of a Marine who can challenge two top combatants, they had to pay attention.
Too much power means uncontrollability!
"This is indeed a problem, but..." Sengoku suddenly clenched his fist tightly, seeming to have made a difficult decision. "If that day comes, the Marines will definitely stand unswervingly on the side of justice this time."
"Bwahahaha! So will I!"
Brubru—!!
The urgent voice of the Den Den Mushi interrupted their conversation. Sengoku quickly picked up the receiver, and Akainu's tough face was mimicked by the Den Den Mushi.
"Hey! Fleet Admiral Sengoku."
Sengoku was stunned; Sakazuki called? After nodding toward Vice Admiral Tsuru, he said:
"What's wrong, Sakazuki?"
Akainu on the other end of the line paused for a moment, then said reluctantly, "Big Mom is not dead."
Although he did not see the person who took action clearly, he was confident that it was definitely Big Mom herself.
"Did you see it with your own eyes?"
Sengoku and Vice Admiral Tsuru looked at each other and asked with a frown.
Can you survive a broken heart? Is the Soul-Soul Fruit really that powerful?
"Although I don't know why, I fought with her briefly, so I can't be wrong."
"Okay, I didn't expect such a turn of events."
Sengoku rubbed his eyebrows with a headache and said, "How about the finishing work?"
"Captured two cadres of the Charlotte family, Charlotte Cracker and Charlotte Daifuku."
"Detain them in Impel Down. Magellan has been telling me that the sixth floor is too empty."
"Killed."
Akainu was concise and to the point.
"..."
Sengoku's expression froze, and he slapped his forehead in embarrassment.
I almost forgot, this is Sakazuki.
"Also, I retrieved Atlas's sword. I will contact him when the time comes and ask him to come and get it from me."
Akainu didn't believe that Atlas would die so easily.
"Okay, please inform the surveillance ship in Totto Land waters to pay attention to the movements of the Big Mom Pirates."
After a few more words with Akainu, Sengoku hung up the phone with a helpless expression on his face.
So... Was I just happy for nothing?
"Big Mom is not dead."
Vice Admiral Tsuru and Garp both nodded and said, "We heard it. If it weren't for Sakazuki, we would have been misled by this incorrect news."
Sengoku waved his hand, "The news is absolutely true. Atlas must have broken Big Mom's heart. There is no doubt about it."
"The Charlotte family must have used some other means to rescue Big Mom. There is no need to explore this point for the time being. After all, there are too many miraculous fruits in the sea."
"However, for such a heaven-defying fruit, there must be some unimaginable price paid."
Vice Admiral Tsuru also smiled and said, "Then the massive reports you mentioned before will continue?"
"Forget it, let the staff stop this work," Sengoku refused.

Mirror World.
Katakuri and Snack, who had just been dragged in, had expressions of disbelief on their faces, looking up and down at the behemoth in front of them.
Big Mom should be lying on the ground as a corpse!!
"How is this happening?"
After a while, Katakuri's tone was dry.
He couldn't understand why his mother suddenly came back to life even though her heart had been shot through, and the big hole in her chest healed automatically!
Furthermore, he looked at Big Mom, who was looking around curiously.
From the beginning, he felt something was wrong.
Suddenly, Big Mom's eyes fell on Brulee, and a childlike smile appeared on her face.
Well, it was indeed childish. Katakuri suspected that he was mistaken.
"Hello! Is there anything to eat here? I seem a little hungry."
Big Mom touched her belly full of fat with some grievance. Her belly seemed to be responding to her words and started to growl.
Is this really... still the same Big Mom?
The Charlotte family members present couldn't help but become a little suspicious.
