Chapter -53 - 16: First Bounty (1/2)
Marine Headquarters.
An old man with glasses is receiving a report from the Vice Admiral in charge of East Blue.
”Fleet Admiral Sengoku, I just received a call from the Loguetown Branch. A pirate had made our Marines suffer a heavy injuries in a fight when they are trying to capture Nico Robin. Apparently, the pirate is a captain of a crew that Nico Robin just joined.”
”What?! Only a pirate manage to make them suffer. Who is this man?!” Sengoku asked. His tone carry a heavy pressure, unwilling to accept that the Marines lost to a pirate.
”This pirate name is Narmi Amsi. Our informant told us that he had once visit the Marine base at Goa Kingdom for the bounty of Scar Walker, Harry the Hook and One-Eyed Jack. At Conomi Islands, he managed to kill Arlong and Kuroobi although he is heavily disadvantaged in number.”
”What is his ability? I'm guessing that if he can defeat those pirates, I guess he must have some powerful abilities.”
”According to our informant, we manage to discovered that he have eaten a Yami Yami No Mi fruit when he killed the pirates and Goa Kingdom. But then, we have suspicions that he had eaten another devil fruits, as he used an electric attack to Arlong.”
”Impossible, a human can't eat two devil fruits as it is harmful for the body. Discover more about his ability. For now set his bounty to 40 Million berry.”
”About that Fleet Admiral, I have another things to say.” the Vice Admiral said hesitantly. Sengoku heard his hesitant tone, urged the Vice Admiral to continue.
”This Narmi, he managed to extract Devil Fruit from Captain Smoker. As of now, Smoker didn't have Devil Fruit ability.” he continued.
Hearing those words, Sengoku was stunned speechless. After a few minutes of silence, he asked for confirmation
”Are you sure?!” ”Yes Sir. Smoker himself stated it to me. In addition, Smoker said that he have Conqueror's Haki and had used it on the Marines.”
”Not only the Marines lost to him, but Smoker also got stripped of his Devil Fruit. He also have a Conqueror's Haki at that. This pirate is a dangerous individual. Set his bounty to 150 Million Berry. ” Sengoku ordered after a few minutes of deliberation.
”Yes sir.”
”Also, prepared the Marines at the Grand Line for interception. Wait for his arrival to Grand Line. We need to capture him. Watched his movements and don't ever lose sight of him. We can't turn a blind eye to his ability. This ability can indeed shook this world to the core. Alright, you can go now.”
”Thank you sir.”
