I, Broly, began by destroying the pirate world.

6. Truly a naval hero.

Marineford.

Aside from the "King of Deserters" and his blond henchman whose name Broly could no longer recall.

Almost all the senior naval officers who would participate in the Marineford War were gathered in the VIP conference room.

Brannew, who had just turned thirty, had already earned the title of "King of Meetings".

Seeing that Steelbone Kong nodded to him, he first pinned Broly's photo to the blackboard and said in a deep voice, "Everyone! This mysterious boy who was born from a meteorite, let's call him 'Demon Child' for now."

This person's strength is unfathomable; you all witnessed the live broadcast of the Den Den Mushi just hours ago. To possess such terrifying power at such a young age, his threat level is more than a hundred times that of Charlotte Linlin back then!

"To this end, his colleagues in the bounty department discussed the matter overnight and have already drafted a bounty order for him."

As he spoke, Brannew pulled a wanted poster from his pocket and pasted it on the blackboard.

In the photo, Broly looks disdainful, his chubby little hand raised high, seemingly gathering energy for the camera.

I don't know how the Navy took this photo; perhaps this guy is a user of some kind of rule-based Devil Fruit.

What truly shocked everyone was the number below the photo: 50 billion Berries.

Even a powerful figure like Kuzan couldn't help but gasp when he saw this number.

Looking across the ocean, only the late Roger and "Whitebeard" Edward Newgate could claim this bounty.

Going back further, there is only Lox, whose name has been erased from history.

It was already absurd that a three-year-old child would have a bounty on his head, let alone 50 billion Berries, yet not a single officer present dared to object.

After all, this child killed a Sengoku general in one move; such combat power is something even Rocks might not be able to achieve.

Kuzan, who had not yet experienced the Ohara incident, still had a bit of impulsiveness in his personality and couldn't help but say, "Setting a bounty is useless. I'm afraid no bounty hunter will dare to actually take his head. In the end, we still have to rely on our navy."

After a brief pause, he pressed on, "Then how should we deal with him? Should we gather all the navy's forces to surround and capture him? If we just leave him alone, the navy will lose face."

"Calm down, Kuzan."

Vice Admiral Tsuru, who was resting his chin on his hands, spoke in a deep voice. His knuckles were white from the force he used to support his chin.

"Don't be fooled by his appearance and age. When dealing with an enemy like him, you must be fully prepared. At the very least, you should find out what his abilities are."

Tsuru, Sengoku, and Garp were close friends who joined the Navy at the same time, and their deep friendship needs no further explanation.

She was one of the angrier people when the Warring States period suffered this calamity, but the angrier she was, the clearer she knew that she must not lose her composure at this moment.

Garp remained silent throughout.

Normally, this old rascal would lean back in his chair and doze off during meetings, but now he had his head down, his face as dark as ink, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Steelbone Kong nodded in agreement: "Ah He is right. The strength this kid showed in Loguetown shows that numbers are meaningless in front of him; they will only die in vain."

First, ascertain his abilities—if he is a power user, find a way to force him into the sea; if not, assassination is far safer than a direct confrontation.

Sakazuki replied, his tone still ruthless yet clear-headed: "Gathering intelligence is not the Navy's forte; it's more appropriate to leave it to the CP department."

Even he was intimidated by Broly's strength when he saw it with his own eyes, and he knew that he had no chance of winning in a head-on confrontation. He was just being aggressive, not stupid.

Rather than sending the navy as cannon fodder to test the waters, it would be better to let the World Government take action.

He paused, then said, "The sudden appearance of this monster must be a headache for the higher-ups. I don't think they'll refuse it."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

The Navy's investigation was nothing more than sending cannon fodder to test Broly's abilities, but the enemy could wipe out the entire group with a single beam of light, so they couldn't find any useful information at all.

It's clear that the CCP is more professional at these kinds of conspiracies and tricks.

Seeing that the topic of Broly had come to a temporary halt, "Meeting King" cleared his throat: "Then let's move on to the next topic. Less than five hours have passed since Roger's execution, and according to reports from various branches, over two hundred new pirate crews have emerged. I don't need to elaborate on the reasons, do I?"

Upon hearing this, the faces of the senior military officers in the conference room turned ashen.

No matter how terrifying Broly is, he is ultimately an extraterrestrial visitor and has little connection with the Navy.

Roger's move was undoubtedly a blatant attempt to make a fool of the Navy and the World Government.

Steelbone Skybreaker made a decisive move: "Immediately launch an emergency global recruitment drive! Regardless of age, anyone willing to join the Navy will be accepted! Any talented young people discovered will be immediately sent to the Naval Academy at headquarters for training. Zephyr will be in full charge of this matter."

Zephyr has been serving as the chief instructor of the Naval Academy for ten years since he resigned from his position as admiral.

Over the past decade, he has personally trained a host of naval backbone members, including Sakazuki, Borsalino, Kuzan, Momonga, and Fire Mountain. His teaching ability is beyond doubt, and Steelbone Sky can rest assured when it comes to entrusting recruitment and training to him.

Then, Brannew raised the next issue: "With the death of the Sengoku Admiral, there is no Admiral in the Navy Headquarters, which greatly damages the Navy's prestige."

After some discussion, the group decided to give the three "monsters" of the middle generation of the Navy, Sakazuki, Borsalino, and Kuzan, the codenames "Akainu," "Kizaru," and "Aokiji" ten years ahead of schedule, and promote them to the rank of admiral.

With their abilities, the three of them were more than capable of handling the task; they were just lacking in experience and merit.

However, it is absolutely unacceptable for the navy to be without a senior admiral at the helm, so an exception must be made to promote one.

With the discussion temporarily concluded, Cyborg Kong stood up. "I'll head to Mary Geoise now and report to the Five Elders on the investigation into 'Demon Child'."

"No need."

Before he could finish speaking, the conference room door was suddenly pushed open, and a tall, thin man in a suit walked in with several men in black suits. He looked arrogant and didn't take the naval experts in the room seriously at all.

Steel Bone Sora and Tsuru recognized him at a glance—Spandam, the highest-ranking officer of CP9.

"What is CP9 doing here? Our naval meeting isn't over yet."

Steelbone Sky questioned with a dark expression.

Spanda himself was utterly incompetent, but because he was the head of a department directly under the Five Elders, he never took the Navy seriously. However, he wasn't stupid enough to deliberately break off relations.

He pulled a document from his pocket and said indifferently, "The Five Elders have issued a supreme order, requiring the Navy to arrest all pregnant women and newborn babies after the disbandment of the Roger Pirates, including married women."

These words left the entire room of Marines bewildered, except for Garp, whose expression changed drastically, but he quickly suppressed his emotions.

"Why?" Kong couldn't help but press. "The number of pirate crews worldwide has exploded, and the Navy's forces are barely enough to suppress them. How can we waste so many resources on this?"

Spandane said calmly, "According to the latest investigation by CP, Roger most likely left behind offspring."

Upon hearing this, all the officers changed color again, but Garp silently lowered his head, and no one could see his expression at that moment.

If Broly were here, he would probably sneer.

For the sake of his nemesis's son, he was willing to sacrifice the lives of countless pregnant women and infants.

He truly deserves to be called a naval hero!
