Not a single wrinkle remained as he gave himself a small, satisfied nod.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, without waiting for permission, he called out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uncle Sengoku.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And just like that, he pushed the door open and stepped in with his usual calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sengoku, seated on a long couch surrounded by a mountain of reports, let out a long sigh the moment he heard that familiar voice. He didn't even bother hiding the irritation on his face as he looked up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I told you already, didn't I?! Why are you skipping duty again?! I specifically assigned you to oversee Division G-11! What exactly are you watching over there? Or are you just getting drunk with pirates?! You think I don't know?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And now, to make matters worse, you're leaving your jurisdiction whenever you feel like it! What if pirates from the New World attack G-11 while you're gone, huh?! If everyone acted like you, why even bother having a Fleet Admiral at all?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Kyūjō only responded with a faint smile, unbothered by the outburst.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead of defending himself, he said something seemingly unrelated:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uncle Sengoku, I've sent Hina to Skypiea. After all this time... I think it's finally time I did something for this world.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sengoku's eyes narrowed sharply at that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His expression hardened as he stared at the young man in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kyūjō,\" he said in a low voice, \"What exactly are you planning?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kyūjō's response came with a soft but confident grin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To uphold justice, of course.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sengoku's chest tightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He already knew what this was about. And he wasn't happy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haaah…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He let out a long sigh and tried to reason with the boy, his voice heavy with concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kyūjō… I know your strength has grown beyond comprehension. Maybe there really is no one left in this world who can stand against you. But don't take the World Government lightly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They've ruled the world for over 800 years. We don't even know the full extent of the powers they're hiding behind the curtain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And even if you do manage to overthrow them… then what? You think the Navy can just take their place? Manage an entire world in chaos?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If the current structure crumbles, we'll plunge into a never-ending war. The balance of the seas will be destroyed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And when that happens, you will be branded the greatest criminal in history.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kyūjō, you're rushing into this. I can't let you go through with it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Sengoku stood up, intending to stop Kyūjō physically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the young man met his gaze with a gentle, unwavering stare...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the air shifted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The atmosphere in the room grew heavy, dense, almost suffocating. Pressure surged from every direction, crushing the space like invisible weights. Even lifting a single foot became a monumental effort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The office—small to begin with—now felt like a swamp. Sengoku's body sank under the force of something immeasurable, and even twitching a finger took all his strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This sensation… It was familiar…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Conqueror's Haki? No… this is something more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could someone possibly control Haoshoku Haki to this degree?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The realization struck Sengoku like lightning—Kyūjō's mastery had far surpassed mere infusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was domination on a level that transcended the limits of humanity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The aura surrounding him was no longer that of a man—it was something otherworldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kyūjō didn't pull the pressure back. Instead, he spoke gently:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uncle Sengoku, back in my homeland, there's an old saying from the Eastern Nation. It's called: 'Yi Gu Zuo Qi, Zai Er Shuai, San Er Jie.'\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What does that even mean? Where's it from?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's said that since ancient times, our ancestors knew that courage on the battlefield was the most crucial element.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When the war drums are struck for the first time, that's when the spirit of the soldiers burns the brightest.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But if you hesitate and don't march forward at that moment... what grows isn't bravery, but doubt. Fear. And soon, that courage fades.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When that fire is gone... how can we ever hope to defeat our enemies?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's why—right now, Uncle Sengoku—my spirit is burning at its peak.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have to go. And nothing can stop me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As for your concerns… If I succeed, reach out to the Revolutionary Army. I'm sure they'd be willing to work with us to stabilize the seas.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But if I fail… then your position as Fleet Admiral may fall along with me. You should be prepared for that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And with those final words, Kyūjō vanished—disappearing from the office without a trace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few seconds passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then far above the Marineford port, his figure streaked across the sky like a comet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did the suffocating Haki vanish—and Sengoku could finally move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without missing a beat, he lunged toward the window and leapt out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body instantly transformed into a towering golden giant—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hito Hito no Mi, Mythical Zoan Model: Daibutsu!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A golden Buddha, nearly a hundred meters tall, descended upon Navy Headquarters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the soldiers even had time to react, Sengoku's booming voice thundered from the sky:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is Sengoku! All soldiers and combat personnel still in the base—head to the harbor immediately! Board your ships now!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, with eyes sharp as blades, the golden Buddha turned to glare at a new arrival—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Admiral Borsalino, aka Kizaru, who had just appeared with his usual slow, lazy swagger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Borsalino! Go to the New World immediately! Bring Sakazuki back!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For once, Kizaru didn't say a word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, his body turned to light and shot into the heavens, leaving only a shimmering afterimage behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all… reading the room is a basic survival skill for any corporate employee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(Side Note: Yes, Kizaru can carry passengers while flying—just not nearly as fast as when traveling solo.)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>— — — — — — — — — — — — — — — —\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>🎉 Good News!
