...

At Marine Headquarters, Marineford, Fleet Admiral Sengoku sat in his office, his hair nearly completely white with worry.

The Heavenly Tribute, the offering from the World Government's member nations to the Celestial Dragons, had been stolen.

And lurking behind the incident was the shadow of the Revolutionary Army, which deepened Sengoku's concern.

The Revolutionary Army, the only organization in the world openly opposing the World Government, was a thorn in the side of both the Marines and the Government. Its leader, Monkey D. Dragon, was considered the most dangerous individual to the Government.

The Government feared him not solely for his strength, nor for the strength of the Revolutionary Army itself. The true danger lay in the ideology Dragon spread.

No matter how powerful an individual or organization was, the World Government, as the ruling power, had ways to deal with them. This was why the Revolutionary Army could only operate in the shadows, employing guerilla tactics.

However, no one could stop the infectious spread of the Revolutionary Army's ideology. This was the truly terrifying aspect.

To minimize the Revolutionary Army's influence, Sengoku believed it was best to pin the blame for the incident on pirates.

Devil Noir and Fire Fist Ace would have their bounties increased publicly, while the Marines would secretly intensify their pursuit of the Revolutionary Army.

Sengoku looked at the reports flooding his desk, each one detailing fruitless searches. He covered his eyes with his hand, his worry deepening. He was at a loss for what to do.

Since Doflamingo's interception of the Heavenly Tribute, the Marines had strengthened its defenses. Yet, it hadn't been enough.

Noir's Copy-Copy Fruit was proving to be a major problem.

Sengoku, known as the "Strategist," had made some calculations based on Noir's travels and the people he'd encountered. He concluded that Noir must have copied the powers of the Clone-Clone Fruit.

This made the situation even more complicated. With the ability to copy and mimic, Noir could become practically anyone...

Snore... Snore...

The sound of snoring echoed through the office. Sengoku's gaze shifted to Garp, who was sprawled on the office sofa, fast asleep and snoring loudly.

A sudden chill caused Garp's snot bubble to burst. He yawned, his eyes fluttering open.

Garp, jolted back to reality, saw Sengoku's livid face and greeted him with a carefree grin. "Yo!"

"Yo, my ass! You're supposed to be working, not slacking off in my office!" Sengoku roared, pointing at Garp's nose.

Garp chuckled but remained silent. He was unfazed by Sengoku's threats and scolding, like a mountain weathering a storm.

Sengoku, exasperated by Garp's thick skin, was about to explode when a knock came at the door. "Enter!" he bellowed.

A Marine soldier nervously entered, saluting. "Report!"

"Devil Noir and his crew have infiltrated Mary Geoise! They are freeing slaves and setting fires! The Holy Land is requesting reinforcements!"

"What?!" Sengoku's eyes widened. Hadn't Noir just stolen the Heavenly Tribute?

How had he gotten to Mary Geoise? How did they even get in?!
