CRAACK!

A punch with a fist on the table immediately caused it to crack, with various papers and reports scattering from it the next moment.

"Those damn pirates!" Atop the table was a man with a cigar clenched in his teeth, displaying an extremely irritated face. His gaze was fixed on the newspaper he had just removed his fist from. He immediately felt a sharp pain in his nonexistent arm, as he read once again that word he so hated, as if it were a new curse.

The officer standing in front of the fleet admiral, Akainu, trembled slightly with the action, and when the superior's gaze, blazing with fury, turned to him, it immediately made a sailor shudder and swallow dry, since Akainu was known for killing all the sailors who disobey and fail miserably, with no second chance for this superior.

"Speak," he said in a dangerous tone, being frustrated.

"Sir, we have received reports from Dressrosa. The country is in chaos, because years ago, it was enslaved by Doflamingo when he arrived. The user of the Hobi Hobi no Mi was a crew member of the late Doflamingo." He spoke as Akainu raised an eyebrow, but the sailor continued.

There are names of sailors that we found strange in recent years appearing in the reports while no one even remembered them... we always found that strange, until we had numerous reports of people calling HQ saying they had a relative or friend within the navy who disappeared for years... Including our own sailors began to remember their old companions! Now, after what happened in Dressrosa, we received those same long-lost sailors, saying they were trapped for a long time living as a toy and working forcibly!" The officer gave his report.

"Damn pirates... all a plague, even those hired by the government!" Akainu exclaimed.

"What should we do... whether we like it or not, these pirates ended up saving the country..." The officer murmured as he immediately froze, while the room got hot the next moment.

"What do you mean by that?" Akainu roared as his powers began to manifest. "Do you want me to say that a pirate saved the country? That the navy should thank the Straw Hats? The same ones who appeared at the old HQ over a year ago, and devastated all of Marineford in the war against Whitebeard?! You want to make him a hero?" He said each word as his arm began to turn red with his lava almost manifesting.

"No, sir, of course not," the man said fearfully as he sweated trying to move away as fast as possible from there. He couldn't even make an excuse after his words.

Akainu, despite his anger, did nothing more than scoff. "Just because one scum killed another scum, it does not make them not scum... remember that. And if you haven't noticed, it is very likely that Dressrosa will fall into the hands of another pirate... Now you may leave this room, and stay alert for new orders, after all we can't leave Dressrosa like this." He said in the end.

"I hadn't thought of it that way, fleet admiral, I'm going!" He said quickly as he left the place.

"You wouldn't kill him just for making a silly suggestion, right?" A new voice emerged while there was a man sitting there the whole time watching the sailor leave.

"The navy is for the strong and those who follow absolute justice, there is no place for the weak." Akainu growled before looking at this person, who was leaning on a cane and with his eyes closed.
