Bullet was still young, but in a few years, he would be able to join Roger's crew and be on par with Rayleigh, second only to Roger.
Especially after Roger's death, Bullet, who had lost his goal, rampaged on the seas. Garp and Sengoku teamed up with a Buster Call to capture him and throw him into Impel Down. That was basically Golden Lion-level treatment.
But even then, Bullet hadn't even awakened his Devil Fruit!
Thirty-seven years later, Bullet showed the strongest power in the world. Knowing his talent and whereabouts, how could Genichi not pay attention?
If he recruited him now, he would get a huge return soon.
He had such a strong power. It would be stupid to worry that others would threaten him.
Genichi couldn't imagine being so cowardly as to be scared of others getting stronger when he had such a huge advantage.
Besides, other people getting stronger was good for him too. The stronger they were, the more emotion points they provided. Why should he worry that others would get strong enough to surpass him?
No matter how strong they got, they would still be limited by the rules of the One Piece world. One day, he would use 100 million emotion points to break through the laws of this world.
A character card worth tens of millions was essentially a top-tier to strongest fighter in this world.
So, if the strongest in the One Piece world got even stronger, the upper limit of that range would also rise. But a character card worth 100 million was a level that no one in this world could ever reach.
He was only eight years old now, but he was already very strong. He definitely had hundreds of millions of beli worth of strength on the sea.
Since coming to this world, he had heard some stories about Kaido. Kaido was also considered an unbeatable warrior when he was young, and Bullet was similar to or even stronger than Kaido.
Kaido could only escape from the Marine ships that were taking him away, while Bullet destroyed an entire country by himself.
Of course, Kaido didn't have the Azure Dragon Fruit when he was young, and Bullet ate the Combine-Combine Fruit, so the comparison wasn't completely accurate. But it was still telling.
Bullet hadn't eaten the Combine-Combine Fruit yet. In the original storyline, he would eat the fruit after being hungry for five years. In this world, he might not eat the same fruit.
But as long as he didn't eat a useless Devil Fruit like the Human-Human Fruit, Model: Ordinary Citizen, he would still get that incredible power.
How could Genichi let go of such a useful and undeveloped powerhouse?
Before they grew up, Makima had already used her power to control them in their subconscious minds.
Bullet was strong now, but his strength was still not on the same level as Makima's.
Now, he saw Garp fighting the demon, and he was naturally excited, because he felt like he had finally found his first goal.
First, grow to the same level as the unbelievably strong Garp and 'Kill Order,' then become the 'strongest in the world'!
What is the strongest in the world?
He would wait until everything in Jaltzburg settled down, then go to The Black Order's headquarters and ask that woman what true strength and a new realm were!
Now, Bullet was heading inland from the border town he had just conquered.
The demons were in Jaltzburg, but they definitely weren't here, because this was a city he had just conquered. There couldn't be any demons here.
After Bullet left, Garp finished communicating with Marine Headquarters.
Kong was telling the Five Elders what was happening here, as they requested.
They wanted to know about everything happening in Jaltzburg in real time and make remote adjustments if necessary. Although Kong was the Fleet Admiral, he couldn't do anything about the Five Elders' ultimate power.
At the same time, he urgently called Sengoku over and repeated what Garp had told him.
Zephyr was in the New World. One of the top Marine fighters always had to be in the New World to intimidate the pirates. The remaining one, Sengoku, stayed at Marine Headquarters to prevent anyone from harming the Celestial Dragons on Sabaody Archipelago.
Now, the two of them were in the Fleet Admiral's office, talking about what was happening in Jaltzburg.
"Our Marines killed the unknown powerhouse in Jaltzburg's Northern War Zone, Little Demon Dragon and Kill Order, and Zero's followers..."
Sengoku was stunned after hearing Kong repeat Garp's words, "It can barely be considered four factions. Isn't this country going to be destroyed because of this?"
"That's what our Marine Headquarters is trying to prevent! But at the same time, getting the Shikon Jewel shard and destroying or capturing the demons are even more important missions than the survival of a country!" Fleet Admiral Kong said to Sengoku.
"The World Government is taking this mission very seriously. When you move out, take the troops from Headquarters and the other branches, about thirty thousand elite Marines in total. Combined with the local Jaltzburg forces, there will be about fifty thousand."
Sengoku's eyes widened. He couldn't believe Marine Headquarters was so generous. They were actually mobilizing thirty thousand Marines just for this mission?
This wasn't the Great Pirate Era yet. There weren't as many pirates as in later years. Most people in this era still wanted to be Marines to make a living.
Even so, thirty thousand was an extremely large number. And these weren't ordinary Marines. If Kong called them elites, they definitely weren't the kind who just loafed around.
"I have to go too? What about Mariejois and Sabaody Archipelago..."
"Don't worry about that." Kong said in a deep voice, "These are the Five Elders' orders. Don't feel any pressure. Besides, even if you're all gone, Headquarters still has me."
A person had to be an Admiral to become the Fleet Admiral. Kong was a powerful Admiral in the past. He had become the Fleet Admiral, but that didn't mean he neglected his fighting ability.
"Mobilizing thirty thousand Marines will definitely not escape the eyes of those pirates and some other people." Sengoku thought a lot. He didn't accept the order right away, but continued to speak to Kong.
"I'm worried they will try to interfere."
"That's why we're mobilizing thirty thousand elites, to intimidate them! From today on, Jaltzburg will be under martial law. No one can enter or leave!" Kong said with authority and courage.
"The Black Order will be active outside Jaltzburg to prevent pirate invasions. Sengoku, you should understand what I mean."
