3.1 Meeting and Sudden Threat
Kimimaro pushed the huge wooden door gently, when the trio entered, what greeted them was an ongoing argument.
Kimimaro saw Kong, Sengoku, Zephyr, and Tsuru had already been inside. The current Fleet Admiral of the Marine was holding his head on the table feeling light-headed seeing Tsuru and Zephyr still kept arguing about something.
Kong was an extremely muscular, broad-chested, tan-skinned, strong-shouldered man who has his blackened hair with several strips of white showing his current age and beard arranged in an array of spikes,
Seeing the trio entered the room, Kong could be seen visibly relieved, he then gestured towards the sofa for the trio to sit.
"Enough!" After the trio sits down, Kong finally yelled to stop the ongoing argument between Zephyr and Tsuru.
Zephyr and Tsuru instantly shut their mouth, both of them seems to have something more to say, however Kong had already spoke. So, both of them sat at their designated seats while fuming.
"Sigh*, You guys.." Kong was speechless, then he swiped his sight across the room.
Kong saw several high ranked officer Marine currently presents, From Admiral there were Sengoku and Zephyr. As for the Vice Admiral there were only Kimimaro, Kuzan, Borsalino, and Tsuru.
"Seems like everyone is here, Garp and Sakazuki are still outside and won't be able to return shortly." Said Kong, then he looked towards Tsuru and nodded.
Receiving the signal, Tsuru stood up. she was quite beautiful and had dark blue hair tied up in a loose ponytail, several strands of white hair could be seen peaking out of her head. With side bangs that framed both sides of her face. She also wore a standard Marine uniform with a hat
"Let me begin..." Tsuru spoke in stalwart manner.
Everyone inside Kong's office was seen focusing their Attention on Tsuru, other than Borsalino who by some point closed his eyes pretending to sleep.
"Our intelligence got news of Shiki's flying armada from New World, it consist of some of Shiki's crew and some unidentified individuals. We still couldn't determine who those individuals were. We must assume they come with Shiki to join his cause."
Tsuru paused, she swiped her eyes around the room until he stopped at Sengoku.
Sengoku was a man in his fifties, he donned a tank top with Admiral Cape wrapped nicely on his broad shoulder, his black afro hair had some white on it and his neatly trimmed mustache of him gave a serious vibe to everyone who saw him.
"Garp isn't here now, but with Kong, Zephyr, and me. Shiki won't be a problem, the problem right now is..." Sengoku paused as his attention returned towards Tsuru, then he continued, "...Those individual's identities, we had to know them!"
Tsuru nodded, "CP 5 are on their tail for us to confirm who are those that coming"
"... That's good, now whether we need to evacuate Marineford or not?" Kong interrupts.
"We must evacuate the civilians now, Shiki was someone who had the same power as Roger, and considering their scale of invasion, we had to prepare for the worst," Zephyr answered concisely.
"Ne~, is that necessary? our strongest combatants except Garp and Sakazuki are here in Marineford." Borsalino suddenly said in a teasing tone.
"We need to prepare for the worst Borsalino, didn't I teach you before?" Zephyr Responded as he shook his head.
"Well, sensei, I always impressed by your steadfastness. Hohoho." Chuckled Borsalino.
Kimimaro saw Zephyr shook his head to express his disapproval at his former student. Borsalino.
Borsalino was known as a calm and laid-back individual, he never took anything seriously, maybe it was because of the devil fruit he ate, the Pika-Pika no Mi (Light Fruit). He thought no one could catch up to him and indeed until now, almost no one was able to catch him. It made him so arrogant with his power.
"Gentlemen, Admiral Zephyr had a point, Shiki can and will drop islands on us, precaution is necessary." Kimimaro intervened with a smile.
