  "If necessary, even an Admiral be dispatched!"

  The officers present were stunned, quickly grasping the gravity of the situation. Rojen's identity demahis level of attention from the Marines. If they could elimihis potential threat in its infancy, they were willing to pay any price.

  Sengoku cluded his remarks, while Garp, sitting beside him, appeared disied, paying little heed to the proceedings.

  "Does anyone have any objes?" Kong asked, sing the room.

  "The's adjourn."

  With that, he issued the order, and the meeting came to a close.

  "Also, don't fet to provide support ton quickly. Garp, I'll leave it to you."

  "Meeting adjourned!"

  After a brief exge, Kohe feren. However, none of the officers moved to leave; they all turheir gazes toward Sengoku.

  Everyone present khat Sengoku oised to succeed Kong. Ohe official appoi arrived, Sengoku would bee the new Fleet Admiral of the Marines, while Kong would assume the role of ander-in-Chief of the Wover.

  "Pursuing Rojen will be a challenging endeavor, as evidenced by Dragon's predit," Sengoku began. "Therefore, we must approach this matter with utmost seriousness. Additionally, the speech-banning order must be implemented immediately."

  "Rojen's identity must be fio a small circle of individuals."

  Sengoku calmly issued the orders, and everyone listetentively. Kong was already transitioning away from active ma, and many matters were now being handled by Sengoku.

  Soon, the meeting cluded.

  Garp boarded a ship a sail for the East Blue. Simultaneously, within Marine Headquarters, a young Kizaru, sp bck sungsses, stretched zily and boarded his warship.

  "Ah, what a busy life. They're actually sendio chase that kid. I'm not particurly fond of trag, you know."

  "Such a headache!" His face twisted in frustration, Kizaru cked enthusiasm for the mission.

  "Let's just treat it as a vacation," he muttered to himself, attempting to sole his irritation.

  …

  Two days ter, a ti of elite Marines arrived in Loguetown. The Lieutenant aatiohere nearly suffered a heart attack upon witnessing the two men disembarking. The identities of these individuals were truly awe-inspiring.

  "My heavens, why are these two here?"

  The two men stepping off the ship were, first, a man sp a dog hat, with a square, rugged face, an imposing presence, and a burly physique. His entire being radiated an aura of authority. This was Garp.

  The other man wore sungsses and a cape, exuding an air of nonce. Despite his posing stature, everyone present instinctively lowered their heads upon seeing him.

  One was the Hero Vice Admiral and the other was an Admiral.

  The weight of these two figures undeniably anded respect.

  After disembarking, Garp wasted no time and headed directly towards Dragon's location.

  "Dragon, you got injured?" Garp's voied as he ehe room.

  Kizaru followed closely behind Garp, curiously surveying the surroundings. He was well acquainted with Dragon. Although Dragon hadn't yet been promoted to Admiral and was retively young, his strength was already approag Kizaru's own. In Kizaru's estimation, Dragon would likely surpass him within 2-3 years. For someone of his caliber to be injured was indeed surprising.

  Soon, the two entered Dragon. At a gheir expressions turned serious. Though Dragon appeared rgely unged, the beads of sweat on his forehead and his pale plexion armed them.

  Garp's eyes narrowed as he observed the flickering fmes on's body and inquired directly, "What is this?"

  As he spoke, he reached out to grasp the fmes.

  "Don't, Father!" Dragon swiftly dodged, then expined gravely, "These bck fmes are peculiar. They e anything and are ued by water. They're terrifying."

  "Fmes? Bck fmes?" Garp questioned his expression now grave. "Are these the work of that child?"

  "Yes, they're terrifying!" Dragon firmed gravely.

  Garp remained silent. Instead, a yer of pitch-bck Armament Haki materialized on his right hand, instantly enveloping his arm. Without hesitatioruck the fmes on's body.

  "Chī chī chī!"

  The pitch-bck Armament Haki collided with the fmes, produg white smoke and strange sounds.

  "These fmes are indeed peculiar," Garp remarked, his expression unged. With a swift motioinguished the remaining bck fmes.

  "ith the fmes extinguished, Dragon finally exhaled, his tense demeanor visibly easing. These bck fmes had been tormenting him for some time. He had even pted the possibility of being ed by them.

  "Father, your Haki is truly impressive."

  "You'll grow stronger soon enough, and these fmes won't be able to harm you," Garp dismissed with a wave of his hand.

  At that moment, Kizaru, standing to the side, curiously inquired, "Rear Admiral Dragon, did that child escape?"

  "Admiral Kizaru, why are you here too?" Dragon was taken aback. He had requested support, but surely they didn't o dispatch both his father and Kizaru. After all, these two together stituted a formidable force of Admiral-level power.

  "I've been ordered to pursue that child. Ah, what a bother," Kizaru shrugged, appearing somewhat helpless.

  "That child is strong, Admiral Kizaru. Be cautious," Dragon cautioned.

  Kizaru's eyes flickered, and he nodded with a smile. "Uood."

  Kizaru was also curious about Rojen. He had withe strange bck fmes, and even from a distance, he could dis their terrifying nature. He was uain if his own abilities would be effective against them, but he wasn't overly ed. His Devil Fruit ability granted him incredible speed, and few in the world could react to it.

  "Prepare yourself aurn to Marine Headquarters with me. Your injuries will likely require some rest," Garp instructed, taking a bite of a donut.

  …

  Meanwhile, Rojen, already some distance from Loguetown, turned his sharp gaze toward a few nearby pirate crews. He merely g the pirate ships sloroag him before fog his attention on the spectacur mountain ahead.

  Reverse Mountain had e into view.

  It was impossible to describe the awe-inspiring nature of this mountain. Water flowed upstream, propelled by immense force, spshing everywhere and stantly releasing terrifying kiiergy.

  At a g seemed almost boundless.
