Inside the office, Kenji was handling recent Admiral affairs.
Decades of working in the Marine had its advantages. With rich work experience, Kenji could quickly handle even a massive amount of tasks.
Anna stood upright at his side, recording every word Kenji spoke, and soon beads of sweat appeared on her upturned nose.
However, she felt no resentment in her heart. Instead, she admired Kenji. To be able to quickly handle so many troublesome affairs, even without personally doing each one, was incredibly difficult. Even Fleet Admiral Kong was not this efficient.
Soon, most of the tasks were arranged and completed, leaving only the last two troublesome matters.
"Investigating the Roger Pirates…" Kenji pondered.
According to regulations, matters involving a Legendary Pirate required an Admiral or an Admiral-level combatant to personally oversee.
But Kenji was clearly unwilling to travel far to the New World to investigate, and even if he did, he might not even meet anyone.
He considered for a moment, then turned to Anna and asked, "Where are Sengoku and Garp? Are they on a mission?"
Anna lowered her head and flipped through the documents, answering with certainty, "Admiral Sengoku was assigned by Fleet Admiral Kong three days ago to the New World sea to handle the war between the Whitebeard Pirates and the BIG MOM Pirates, so he definitely cannot undertake the mission to investigate the Roger Pirates."
"Vice Admiral Garp is on vacation and has just arrived in the East Blue."
Kenji clapped his hands and chuckled, "He's the one!"
"Anna, connect me to Garp's Den Den Mushi."
"Ah? But Vice Admiral Garp only has this one vacation this year…"
"You don't understand, if I give him this job, he'll have to thank me!"
"Hmm…"
Anna's bright eyes widened, her pink lips slightly parted, a look of disbelief on her face.
She was surprised that Kenji could say such… 'shameless' words without any psychological burden.
One must know, the other party was Vice Admiral Garp, the 'Legendary Hero' of the Marine.
However, she still obeyed the order and dialed Garp's Den Den Mushi.
The next moment, Garp's boisterous voice rang out.
"Hello? Is that Kenji… What? A mission? I'm on vacation, no time for your nonsense! Alright, that's it…"
"…What did you say? Roger?"
"…Why didn't you say so earlier? Where is he?"
"…It's fine, even if he runs to the sky, I'll chase after him!"
"Oh, right, thanks! If you get any more news about Roger, remember to contact me immediately!"
The call ended, and Kenji was very satisfied. He had only said two or three simple sentences, given a location, and the problem was perfectly solved.
Anna, standing beside him, was dumbfounded. It was exactly as Kenji had predicted.
She suddenly remembered hearing a rumor that 'Hero Garp and the Legendary Pirate Roger had teamed up to defeat the Rocks Pirates,' and now it seemed it wasn't groundless.
"Alright, now there's only one last trouble left." Kenji looked at the document on his desk, which contained a data sheet on Kaido.
He thought for a moment and asked Anna beside him, "Has Kaido's Beasts Pirates already reached the Sabaody Archipelago? Who is the Marine officer stationed at Sabaody?"
"The Beasts Pirates arrived at Sabaody Archipelago three days ago. The highest commander currently stationed at the Sabaody Archipelago is Vice Admiral Tsuru, personally appointed by Fleet Admiral Kong."
Kenji said, "Little Tsuru, it's probably not enough for her to be stationed there alone… Hmm, I heard Zephyr is planning to take his students out for practical training at sea recently?"
Anna said, "He led his team out to sea a day ago, and they just landed on Sabaody Archipelago today."
Kenji exclaimed, "Oh? That's quite a coincidence, saves me the trouble of greeting them. Let them handle the affairs of the Sabaody Archipelago together for the time being."
Kenji was very pleased and in a very good mood, happily crossing his legs and humming a tune.
He had finished half a month's work in less than half a day. Look at his efficiency!
Next time Kong dared to criticize him with words like 'being passive,' he would definitely retort fiercely.
Anna, standing by, hesitated to speak, wanting to say something but in the end, she didn't say anything. She couldn't find a reason, after all, all matters had indeed been handled, and Anna herself couldn't find any improper handling.
But she still instinctively felt something was wrong. It was clearly not right for an Admiral, the Marine's highest combat power, to always stay at the Marineford base, was it?!
Kenji didn't notice Anna's expression. He had been lying back for a while, and his back muscles were aching, so he sat up and stretched a bit.
"Ugh, dealing with these troublesome things makes my back ache. I need to get a massage… Eh?"
The Den Den Mushi on the table suddenly rang. After connecting, Tsuru's slightly anxious voice came from the other end.
"Kenji-san, are you at Marineford? I need support here, at Island 1 of the Sabaody Archipelago!"
Kenji said, "Didn't Zephyr take a group of Marine interns there? I'll tell him to go support you."
Tsuru said, "He is next to me, but the situation is serious now, and we cannot fully control the situation."
Kenji said, "Heh heh, did a Legendary Pirate enter Sabaody Archipelago? Those Supernova pirates can't cause much of a stir, can they?"
Kenji was not very convinced by Tsuru's explanation and vaguely sensed that there might be a hidden reason.
The other end of the Den Den Mushi was silent for a moment before speaking again, her tone very serious, "Things are a bit complicated. In short, please bring your team to support us as soon as possible, please!"
Kenji laughed, saying with amusement, "Hahaha! Since you've sincerely requested me, then I shall mercifully agree to your request."
"…Thank you."
The call ended, and Kenji immediately stood up and called his adjutant, "Go organize the troops, prepare to head to Sabaody Archipelago… I'll lead the team this time."
He gave orders to his adjutant, as he walked out of the room, while Anna remained in the office to tidy up the documents.
The efficiency of troop deployment within the base was extremely high, as it was Marineford, gathering the elites of the Marine from all over the world.
In less than ten minutes, Kenji was already standing at the bow of the warship, and the large warship quickly set sail.
...
When the warship carrying Kenji arrived in the waters near Sabaody Archipelago, the soldiers on the warship were shocked by the scene above the distant archipelago.
"They've caused such a huge commotion… there are a lot of reckless rookies among this year's Supernovas."
Kenji looked at the distant sky, feeling a bit helpless. No matter how strong Marineford's deterrence was, it couldn't scare off those desperate fools who insisted on causing trouble.
Above the Sabaody Archipelago, the sky was covered by dark clouds, and beneath the clouds, lightning flashed and thunder roared, with lightning almost covering the entire archipelago. From a distance, it looked as if one had arrived at the Thunder Island in the New World.
Kenji noticed that at the center of the sea of lightning, intense flames were erupting.
"It seems that Kaido isn't the only one causing trouble…"
The warship quickly approached the coast, and soon after, a group of Marines, led by Kenji, began to land.
