(Third Person P.O.V)

"Please Rear Admiral! This girl is all alone, we can't leave her here!"

"Alright, alright! We're bringing her back to Marineford. But, you make sure she doesn't get into trouble. Understood?!"

"Understood, Rear Admiral!"

The marine said, saluting the admiral. Turning to the young girl, he sighed as he sat down next to her. "Well, looks like you're coming with us. How are you feeling?" He asked, seeing her guilty expression.

Naya wasn't sure, but she felt like a burden already, seeing as how the marine begged the admiral to bring her along. Let's be honest here, she just died and got reincarnated in her favorite anime and the first thing that she does is make a bad impression on herself.

"I'm okay, just spaced out..." She said, sipping on her water. He gave her a small smile and patted her head in comfort. "It'll be okay now," he reassured her as she nodded slowly. "How about we introduce ourselves, huh? How does that sound?"

Naya nodded again, this time looking towards him. He smiled gently and held her hand. "My name is Kurosawa Hiroshi, I'm a lieutenant commander of the Marine Corps." He introduced himself and Naya tried her best to memorize.

"So, what's your name sweetheart?" He asked as he smiled warmly at her. "Oh, my name is..." She trailed off as she thought for a second.

"...Anaya. Violette D. Anaya."

She introduced, smiling at Hiroshi as well. He held out his hand and said, "Nice to meet you, Anaya-chan." She hesitated but eventually shook his hand. "Nice to meet you too, Hiroshi-san." She said, feeling him patting her head while chuckling.

For some reason, he can tell that she is going to get along with the others. Hell, maybe she'll even get along with the higher-ranking Marines. He hoped that they would have fun together.

After all, she is still a kid, and who wouldn't want some friendly company right? He looked down at her and smiled before ruffling her hair. "Now then, you go ahead and eat, you need to replenish your energy." He told her before standing up and leaving.

• Meanwhile, with a few people... •

Sengoku flinched as he fell off his chair, the same with Garp, except he woke up from his nap. The said fleet admiral groaned as he slowly stood up, sweat dripping down his face. As if he had a nightmare.

Garp had a stern glare, also having sweat dripping down his face. He looked at Sengoku, making eye contact with him. "...You felt that too, right?" He said, his stare becoming more intense when Sengoku nodded.

"I don't know why, but it felt like a strong wave of Conquerer's Haki was released... Unintentionally." Sengoku said, becoming serious about the situation.

It was strange. Normally, if this sort of Haki were near, they would have felt it before it unleashed. Yet somehow, it felt like it was coming from far away. Across the borders of Calm Belt.

But, to have such a powerful Haki that can go across the Red Line... That's impossible. If that was Conquerer's Haki, then this is the largest area that was affected.

"Should we do something?" Garp asked, taking a bite of his rice cracker. Sengoku shook his head and pushed his glasses up. "No. It could be a fight or a test of power. We are not involved." He stated, not willing to interfere with whatever is beyond the Calm Belt.

God forbid if someone manages to not be able to take it.

A certain Yonko was suddenly awakened from her slumber as she felt a huge shockwave that made her sit up in shock. 'What the hell? What was that?' She thought, wiping off the sweat from her forehead.
