Book Name :- One Piece : Cursed Crew ----------------------------- Seeing that Fleet Admiral Sengoku was actually letting a five-year-old kick a soccer ball at him, Blackbeard and the CP0 agent both had mocking smiles on their faces. Even the Five Elders thought Sengoku had completely lost his mind. A five-year-old having the strength of a Marine general was ridiculous. At that age, a child would be considered a prodigy if they could even join the Marine Corps. Only the Marine executives who knew about the true strength of Conanâs legs wore expressions of interest, looking at Blackbeard and the CP0 agent with a hint of pity in their eyes. The CP0 agent didnât notice the Marinesâ expressions. He stood up and said, "In that case, we accept the challenge from Fleet Admiral Sengokuâs grandson!" "Alright!" Sengoku nodded. "Letâs go to the school grounds, then!" Hearing Sengokuâs suggestion, the CP0 agent smiled. "No need. Itâs just a kid kicking a ball. Iâll treat it as a game and let him kick it right here!" With that, he shoved Blackbeard forward, signaling for him to step up first. As Blackbeard was pushed out, he felt a bad premonition, like he was being targeted by a Shinigami. Despite his unease, Blackbeard couldnât back down. This debate was directly tied to his plans. No matter what, he needed to make Whitebeard attack Marineford so he could get a chance to steal his Tremor-Tremor Fruit ability. With both the Dark-Dark Fruit and the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, he would definitely be able to stand on top of the world and finally become the next Pirate King. With heavy steps, Blackbeard walked to a wall of the conference hall. Sengoku threw a special soccer ball to Conan. Conan scratched his head and looked at Blackbeard. "I think you should go to the school grounds," he said. "You can get more distance there. Itâs not as dangerous." Conan was truly trying to be helpful, and Blackbeard felt he was right. Since Garp and Sengoku were allowing Conan to prove his strength, the kid must have something special about him. Just as Blackbeard was about to say he would go to the school grounds, the CP0 agent spoke up again. "Why go to the school grounds? Letâs just get it done right here!" He gave Blackbeard a knowing smile, as if to say, Iâve got your back. What else could Blackbeard do? He could only return a strained smile. "Oh well! You canât talk a determined person out of their fate!" Conan sighed helplessly and started to prepare. He planned to use a powerful volley kick. Everyone present focused on the bouncing soccer ball. When Conan felt the timing was right, he kicked the ball high into the air. He then bent down and twisted a button on his shoes, taking off into the air and volleying the ball toward Blackbeard, who was less than ten meters away. The moment Conanâs foot struck the ball, a bright light instantly blinded many of the people watching. Only Garp, Sengoku, and Tsuru were prepared, putting on the sunglasses they had ready beforehand. The soccer ball, now surrounded by colorful lightning, flew forward with a force that shocked the confident CP0 agent and the anxious Blackbeard. Blackbeard felt that if this ball hit him, he would be instantly gone. Thinking quickly, he began to use his Dark-Dark Fruit ability, hoping to pull the soccer ball away with gravity. But the power of the ball was too immense; the gravity from his Devil Fruit could only slightly change its trajectory. However, that slight change was enough for Blackbeard to dodge and prevent the ball from hitting his torso. With a loud boom, the soccer ball hit one of Blackbeardâs arms, then continued on with undiminished power, smashing through the wall behind him. Looking past the hole in the wall, they could see that the ball had torn off the mast of a Marine warship in the distance and then created a huge wave in the calm sea. After seeing the power of Conanâs kick, the CP0 agent was completely dumbfounded. Even the seasoned battle veteran Kong looked on with a shocked expression. The Five Elders were also in a state of shock. The power of that kick didnât just go beyond their imaginationâit shattered their entire worldview. If Ikki were here, he would have definitely said, "You donât understand the world of science!" A moment later, a scream rang out. It was Blackbeard, whose arm had completely disappeared. There was no blood from the wound; it was completely charred, and there was no bleeding at all. The CP0 agent, who had come back to his senses, immediately went over to check on Blackbeardâs injuries. After seeing Blackbeardâs severed arm, he was certain that what he had just seen was not a mere illusion. "Alright... next one!" Sengoku threw a second soccer ball to Conan and pointed at the CP0 agent. The agent quickly waved his hands. "Fleet Admiral Sengoku, are you kidding? Thereâs no need for a second one! That shot is more than enough to prove that a child can have the strength of a general!" "Weâve lost this debate!" The CP0 agent had decided to give up and end the debate. He was not going to risk his life for this. After all, debating with Garp was already a joke, but watching Conanâs kick and seeing Blackbeardâs injury made him decide to surrender immediately. Giving up on this mission and going back would, at most, result in a punishment. But if he didnât give up, he might be completely annihilated. He knew the difference between a serious situation and a deadly one. á´ĘÉŞs á´Ęá´á´á´á´Ę ÉŞs á´á´á´ á´á´á´ ĘĘ đŤđŹđłđ˘đŠ~đđđŁđ~đŁđđŠ Seeing that the CP0 agent had admitted defeat, Sengoku looked toward the justice bench. Kong nodded, then banged the gavel and said, "The debate is over. Ace is no longer..." Before he could say that Ace was innocent, one of the Five Elders interrupted. "Wait," he said. Everyone looked at him, and he continued, "Ace is indeed innocent. I also admit his identity as an undercover agent. In that case, he can surely contribute to the elimination of the Whitebeard Pirates, a cancerous presence in the sea, canât he?" "We will not release Fire Fist Ace for the time being. We will use him as bait to eliminate the Whitebeard Pirates..." After hearing the Five Eldersâ words, the expressions of the Marines present became extremely grave. Starting a war with one of the Four Emperors was no small matter. While Sengoku had previously made a show of gathering the Marines, he never actually wanted to go to war with Whitebeard. The Marines were mainly focused on the Four Seas and the first half of the Grand Line, while the New World was completely ruled by the Four Emperors. The Marines wanted to get involved, but they knew they couldnât do it just by dealing with Whitebeard alone. Sengoku had previously considered starting a war with Whitebeard before retiring to deal with his old rival. But things were different now. With the private Marine force founded by Ikki, if they wanted to solve the problems in the New World, they wouldnât need to use absolute force, which meant there wouldnât be as many casualties on the Marinesâ side.
