One Piece: Divine Bird Phoenix

Chapter 32 Warring States Call

East China Sea.

At the Rogue Town Naval Base, Smoker was on the phone with Navy Marshal Sengoku.

It all starts with Smoker handing over Ann's information.

……

The Navy, one of the three major institutions under the World Government, is responsible for maintaining justice in the sea.

Such a huge organization naturally has a complete talent introduction system.

Every year, the Sihai Branch can recommend outstanding talents to the Navy Headquarters for further training to supplement the lack of naval talents on the Great Line.

Today, the busy marshal received a talent recommendation form from the staff department.

It was actually the information submitted by Smoker. Warring States had some impression of this rising star from previous training camps, but not much.

Warring States was more concerned about the location of his naval branch.

East China Sea!

It was a magical sea area where many famous and powerful men had appeared.

Pirate King Gol D. Roger was also born in this sea area.

Although this sea area is now the weakest sea due to Garp who has been home for a long time.

But every few years, there will always be people in this sea who have a huge impact on the world.

……

Pick up the form and check the information on it.

Not much information, only a few lines.

His eyes swept and he put down the form in his hand. Warring States walked to the window and thought about the information on it.

"A girl around 12 years old can use two kinds of flames, similar to Porusalino's moves..."

"The more I look at Warring States, the more familiar I feel. Why does she look so much like Garp's granddaughter?"

"But isn't Garp's granddaughter in Windmill Village?"

In order to confirm whether the girl Smoker met was Garp's granddaughter, Sengoku dialed Smoker's phone number.

Only then did the opening scene appear.

Bulu Bulu...

Smoker answered the phone.

The phone bug changed into Sengoku's appearance and started talking.

I am Admiral Sengoku.

Hello, Marshal of the Warring States Period! I am Colonel Smoker, stationed at the naval branch in Rogge Town, East China Sea.

Colonel Smoker, I have seen the information you submitted.

Now there are a few simple questions for you to answer truthfully.

"Yes! Marshal."

I admire Marshal Smoker very much during the Warring States Period.

Under his leadership, the originally weak navy grew stronger and stronger, and was able to compete with the pirates of the New World.

"Colonel Smoker, where did you meet the girl on the form."

"Reporting to the marshal, it was near Orange Town in the East China Sea. At that time, I was chasing the Blood Sword Pirates..."

Smoker told Sengoku what happened on the island one by one, emphasizing An's words, "When did a clown like you dare to question the justice of the Navy."

Sengoku didn't know what the Blood Sword Pirates were, but Sengoku felt very comfortable when he said, "When did a clown like you dare to question the justice of the navy."

Even if this girl is not Garp's granddaughter, there is a high probability that she will join the navy in the future.

"Major Smoker, please describe this girl's Devil Fruit."

"Report to the marshal, this girl's devil fruit is quite special..." Smoker said the information he knew.

"What a powerful devil fruit, Sengoku realized in his heart"

"Colonel Smoker, how does this girl's strength compare to yours?"

Hearing the question from Marshal Warring States, Smoker hesitated.

Seng Guo, who was on the other end of the phone, felt Smoker's hesitation and said sharply: "Colonel Smoker, answer my question seriously."

Hearing the majestic voice of the Warring States Marshal, Smoker did not hesitate to tell the whole process of the test between himself and An.

"You mean, the other party broke your sea-stone weapon with armed haki, and then beat you in front of you."

Smog's strength was well known to Sengoku. As a rising star in the training camp and the owner of the Natural Smoke Fruit, his strength was among the best among the colonels of the headquarters.

Being able to defeat Smoker easily, Sengoku estimated that this girl's strength should reach the level of a major general.

Although he understood Smoker's failure, Warring States still reprimanded Smoker and asked him not to relax in his practice.

Hearing the rebuke from the Warring States Marshal, Smoker also reminded himself in his mind.

"I have been too lax since I came to Donghai. I will strengthen my practice from now on."

Ignoring Smoker's changes in his heart, Sengoku thought to himself that a 12-year-old with a powerful Devil Fruit could still be domineering.

Such a genius would be recruited into the navy regardless of whether she was Garp's granddaughter or not.

Colonel Smoker, didn't you invite her to join the Navy?

Come, come, the point finally came, and Smog broke out in cold sweat on his forehead.

Smoker did invite Ann to join the Navy, but he was greeted with a beating.

Smoker never mentioned Ann joining the Navy again.

Hearing the question from the Warring States Marshal: "Smog hesitated and said that he was invited, but was rejected."

Hearing Smoker's awkward tone, Sengoku immediately discovered the problem.

After Seng Guo's constant questioning, Smoker finally told the whole story.

Idiot, after understanding the whole story, Seng Guo grabbed Smoker and cursed him.

I don't know how long he cursed, but Seng Guo finally stopped.

He directly ordered Smoker to strengthen his knowledge in this area. If this kind of problem occurs next time, he will personally come to East China Sea to teach Smoker a lesson.

Warring States felt uneasy when he thought that such a powerful person with potential was wandering around and could be poached by other forces at any time.

He left an order for Smoker to continue searching for An, and report any news to the headquarters in a timely manner.

After hanging up the phone, Smoker lay helplessly on the base captain's chair.

On the other side, Sengoku quickly dialed Garp's phone number.

……

Brubru…

The sound of the phone bug echoes across the sea.

"Lieutenant General Garp, Marshal Warring States sent a message."

Karp, who was sleeping on the beach chair, picked his ears in dissatisfaction, got up and answered the phone.

……

Navy Headquarters.

On the phone, he transformed into Garp and was picking his ears.

"What's going on in the Warring States Period!"

Garp's impatient voice came.

Ignoring Garp's impatience, Warring States asked directly: "Garp, how long do you have until you reach Windmill Village."

Looking at Bogart, after getting the exact information, Garp replied, "We will arrive at Windmill Village in about 7 or 8 days."

He didn't wait for Sengoku to continue speaking.

Garp refused first, "Let's talk about Sengoku first. Before I see Luffy and An, I won't go anywhere."

Listening to Garp's series of rejections, veins popped up on Seng Guo's forehead, and he told himself to calm down.

"Don't make it seem like I'm squeezing you. Hurry to Windmill Village and see if An is still in the village."

"What nonsense are you talking about about the Warring States Period? Of course An is not in the village!"

"What? Since you know, why didn't you tell me earlier?" Warring States was furious.

"Hahaha!"

"Of course An is not in the village, An is in the bandit's house behind the village," Garp said thinking he was funny.

"Hahaha...0

Listening to Garp's laughter, Sengoku, who was far away at the Navy Headquarters, finally couldn't bear his anger anymore.

Then came the "extreme praise" for Karp from the phone bug.

“%…#…#\u0026*%#￥#￥…\u0026%…*%%”

Five minutes later, after venting his anger, Sengoku asked Garp to go back to Windmill Village and then hung up the phone.

Garp and Bogart were left alone in a daze in the sea breeze.
