Chapter 166 - Chapter 168 (1/2)
Three months passed since Amell's meeting with Whitebeard occurred and to say it shook the foundations of the authorities of this world is an understatement. Not only did they not fight, but they also seemed to have left the meeting with somewhat of an understanding. This was at least what the reports said and Sengoku felt another headache coming on. As usual, he was sitting at his desk reading the Admirals reports. Those were currently the only ones he cared about, he couldn't give less of a crap about super rookies and the like, he had emperors to deal with and not enough men to go around. He had now a very good idea why Kong left this job as early as he did.
A knock came from the door and they opened and Bradely walked inside. ”You summoned me!” His tone stern and steady like a military man. He walked forward and stood in front of Sengoku without sitting down and making himself comfortable.
”Yes, I did indeed do that. I need to know how confident you are in beating Big Mom.” Sengoku looked at him with seriousness written all over his face. His tone made it clear he had a good reason for asking.
”Very. I could most likely kill all sweet commanders as long as Big Mom does not interfere. Against her in a one on one, I have a seventy per cent chance of killing her. And to be clear, the other thirty per cent representing my death only comes into play should her commanders join in as well.” Bradely had always hidden his strength from the Marines and showed just enough to make people wonder if he could beat Garp and Sengoku alone. No one in the world had ever seen his true power revealed.
”Good, because I need you to deliver a message to her. We as Marines must control the sea rather than these despicable pirates. This mission will be highly dangerous.”
”What kind of message are you looking to deliver?”
”More of a statement! We need to reassure the world that we still have a say in what happens in these seas. In the New World, there is an island best known as Candy Land. It gets its name from being one of Big Mom's main supplies for her candy. At this moment, Cracker is residing on this Island. Do I need to say more?”
”No! Only want question.” Bradely said.
”Yes?”
”Do you want his head on a silver or gold platter?” Bradely got a small chuckle out of the fleet captain. ”A silver will do fine, we haven't won yet so let's save the gold one for Amell.” He said and went back to his reports.
”Yes, Sir!” Bradley's tone didn't change but in his mind, he was planning out all the different torture methods he would try out on this fleet captain. He said nothing more and walked out of the room.
***********************
A few days later a few miles outside Candy Land, a blur was crossing over the ocean at the speed even faster than lightning. It took but a few seconds for that blur to reach the shores of this Island. The blur stopped on the island at last and now on the rocky shore of the Island stood, Bradely, one of the Marine Admirals. Tasked with hunting down and killing Cracker, one of Big Mom pirates sweet commanders.
Bradely straightened out his suit and put on his marine coat as he was forced to take it off when moving at that speed or else he would never see it again. After that was done with he started walking towards the location where Cracker was last seen.
