"I didn't expect that Obask Luke would attack the Ochoku Pirates so quickly and occupy Hachinosu Island..."
Late at night, at the first half of the Grand Line, at the Marine Headquarters.
Listening to the relevant information urgently sent by the CP organization.
Kong, who was already busy and exhausted because of the out-of-control situation at sea and had to work overtime, was full of solemnity on his face: "The Netherworld Pirates, who have strength and mobility, are too scary..."
The moment Ochoku's pirates were defeated, and Hachinosu Island fell, they also had already received the news.
It was hard to believe that the Netherworld Pirates were too swift, and they didn't give other forces time to react at all. They took down Ochoku's pirates with lightning speed, easily occupying Ochoku's old nest, the Hachinosu Island.
In addition, it is said that other territories that originally belonged to Ochoku's pirates have also fallen into the hands of the Netherworld Pirates one after another.
"From this point of view, Obask Luke and the monsters he created are not only able to move quickly within a short distance but also can directly transfer across islands!"
As the chief of staff from the Marine Headquarters, Vice Admiral Tsuru, who also had to work overtime overnight due to the turbulent situation at sea, had a solemn face, and she said it in a deep voice there.
"I think so too..."
Kong took a deep breath and said solemnly: "I didn't expect that the ability of the Shadow-Shadow Fruit would be so exaggerated after awakening..."
If Obask Luke had not been the user of the Shadow-Shadow Fruit, at best, he would have been the second Kaido or Whitebeard.
It would be impossible for him to form such an exaggerated Shadowkhan Army and zombie army, let alone bring such great losses and threats to the Marines.
"What a terrible monster!"
Kizaru, who had already rushed back to the Marine Headquarters and had just received the news, said helplessly: "The previous user of the shadow-shadow Devil Fruit ability is not at his level at all!"
His injuries have not healed yet, and he looks a little pale.
The deterioration of the situation in the sea is completely beyond the imagination of the Marines.
Whether it is Garp or Sengoku and others, they have taken warships to sea to suppress the unrest as soon as possible. He, the only remaining admiral of the Marines, would have been sent out by Kong if he had not been seriously injured.
"The only good news is that the CP agents in neighboring countries such as the Prodence Kingdom have gradually discovered Douglas Bullet, Redfield, and Byrnndi World's whereabouts..."
Kong crossed his arms and said: "This means that they are not in the same group, but just a temporary alliance. It is very likely that Obask Luke used defeating the Buster Call Fleet as a condition for releasing them. In addition, those guys have been imprisoned in the Impel Down for so long that they hate the Marines and the World Government, so they reached a deal with the Netherworld Pirates!"
This news made the Marines feel relieved.
Otherwise, if there were really monsters like Redfield, Demon Heir, and World Destroyer joining the Netherworld Pirates, then its strength would become too terrifying.
The Marines's title of the overlord of the sea will really change hands.
"Fleet Admiral Kong, combined with the relevant information currently compiled by the Marines and the World Government, I speculate that Obask Luke is likely to be able to shuttle directly in the shadows..."
Vice-Admiral Tsuru was not too optimistic and said worriedly: "It is even possible that if he wants, he can directly lead his army to attack the Marine Headquarters in the shortest time, just like occupying Hachinosu Island!"
"Because shadows are everywhere!"
This is not her random guess. Although the spies planted by the World Government in Dressrosa have been quietly removed.
But the Netherworld Pirates are so mobilizing and making a big move. From the first half of the New World, they directly raided Hachinosu Island located in the second half of the New World.
The Marines and CP organization did not receive any news in advance. In particular, the army of the Netherworld Pirates suddenly rushed out from the dark corners of the warships in the Buster Call fleet.
Considering the characteristics of the Shadow-Shadow Fruit ability, she makes such a bold guess.
"Hiss!"
Listening to Vice-Admiral Tsuru's speculation, Kong and Kizaru's pupil shrank sharply, and they couldn't help but suck in cold air.
As their scalps numbed, a bone-chilling coldness surged out, like a thorn in the back or a fishbone stuck in their throat.
Because everything has a shadow, and it is impossible that there is no shadow around them.
Tables, chairs, vases, walls…
How can the shadows of these things be isolated?
Doesn't this mean that they may face Obask Luke's attack at any time?
"As the current Fleet Admiral, I can only pray that your guess is wrong..."
Kong rubbed his brows with a headache and said with unspeakable fear: "After all if that is the case, it is really hard to defend against... The Marine Headquarters and even the World Government are facing the threat of the invasion of the pirates at all times!"
"Those high-level officials are probably going to be restless and sleep uneasy!"
He can imagine how restless the Five Elders and those World Nobles would be once Tsuru's guess is passed on.
A powerful monster that can freely travel through all the shadows may appear from every corner at any time.
It makes people's scalp numb just thinking about it.
"No, or rather, the same is true for us, the senior Marines officials!"
Kong just finished speaking.
Vice-Admiral Tsuru added directly: "Don't forget, Obask Luke is an elite from CP9. He is a professional in disguise, assassination, kidnapping, and poisoning and is much more familiar with it than Marines!"
Listening to the conversation between Vice-Admiral Tsuru and Kong.
Kizaru, who did not interrupt, had a toothache.
What kind of enemy are they facing?
Doesn't this mean that they, the senior executives, have to check their tea and meals or have someone test the poison?
What's more terrifying is that if Obask Luke suddenly appears when they just fall asleep in the middle of the night, with the strength of that monster, if he really launches an assassination. It's not so easy to guard against.
"Tsuru, notify everyone, mobilize the Marines and CP organization, all intelligence forces, and immediately closely monitor the actions of the Netherworld Pirates. Make sure to find out Obask Luke's ability!"
Kong's face was uncertain.
He made up his mind there and gave an order to Vice-Admiral Tsuru in a deep voice: "If he can really do this, then our Marines and even the World Government must be prepared for the worst!"
"Understood!"
