"Hamr, I knew you hadn't forgotten this old man!"
"Hurry up and tell , what kind of exclusive weapon are you preparing for ?"
Sengoku's face was practically covered with the words: I want my exclusive weapon!
I need my exclusive weapon!
The sight left Hamr and the others sweating bullets.
Even Lance was included.
Sengoku was simply too excited.
Honestly, calling him obsessed wouldn't even be an exaggeration.
"Relax, relax, old man Sengoku."
"I do indeed have so new ideas for your exclusive weapon, and I also obtained quite a few good things from Skypiea."
"I'm planning to combine the two and experint a little."
"But I can't guarantee when it'll be completed. You'll still have to wait a while."
"And recently, I'm also planning to head back out to sea."
"That's the second matter I wanted to discuss."
Sengoku also realized he had lost his composure a little.
He quickly sat back down and coughed a few tis before returning to a serious expression.
"Go ahead then."
"What exactly are you planning to do by going back out to sea?"
"I'm planning to beco the Head of Logistics."
"To accomplish that, I plan to accumulate so military rit out at sea first."
'Oh?'
The mont the old trio heard this, they imdiately beca interested.
It was like the sun rising from the west.
'Hamr was actually volunteering for missions now.'
'Truly rare.'
"No, what kind of looks are those from the three of you?"
"Is it really that strange for to take on missions?"
"I'm telling you, I plan to recruit at least three Warlords of the Sea to demonstrate my value."
"Then I'll apply for the position of Logistics Chief!"
"Hmph! Even if the Five Elders personally ca, they still couldn't stop from becoming Logistics Chief!"
"Warlords of the Sea?"
"Hamr, it's good that you have ambition, but that won't be easy."
"You should know the World Governnt's standards for the Seven Warlords."
"Ordinary pirates wouldn't even catch their attention."
Kong couldn't help pouring cold water over Hamr's enthusiasm.
Currently there was only one Warlord.
Although Hamr had been the one who recruited him.
Still, finding suitable candidates was extrely difficult.
"Tch, what's so hard about it?"
"I already have one candidate in mind."
The mont those words ca out, everyone present, including Lance, froze again.
"Who?"
Hamr grinned.
"Dracule Mihawk."
"Known as Hawk-Eyes."
The mont Lance heard that na, a certain song instantly echoed through his mind.
As for the old trio, they silently nodded.
They were all very familiar with Dracule Mihawk.
In fact, his current situation had largely been orchestrated by Kong himself.
Despite his young age, Mihawk already possessed terrifying swordsmanship.
According to reports from Marine officers who had fought him, his growth rate was astonishing.
He had now completely mastered both forms of Haki.
And his swordsmanship had beco frighteningly absurd.
Moreover, after the incident involving Hamr, he had openly declared himself a "Marine Hunter."
However, after enduring prolonged Marine pursuit, even soone as powerful as him had begun to feel strained.
He hadn't appeared on the seas for quite so ti.
No one knew where he was hiding now.
"He hasn't been active on the seas for a while."
"Hamr, don't tell you know where he is?"
"You know, his strength truly is impressive."
"And after all this ti wandering the seas, he's already earned a considerable reputation."
"Mihawk is completely obsessed with swordsmanship."
"As long as his opponent is a swordsman, he absolutely has to exchange a few blows with them."
"And because music always starts playing whenever he draws his blade…"
"These days people on the seas don't even call him Hawk-Eyes Mihawk anymore."
"They call him the Little Prince of Torn Nights, Mihawk."
'The Little Prince of Torn Nights?'
The mont Hamr heard that nickna, he completely lost it.
"Hahahahaha!"
"Whoever gave him that nickna absolutely nailed it!"
Old man Kong helplessly pinched the bridge of his nose and spoke a na that instantly wiped the smile off Hamr's face.
"Big News Morgans."
"That damned birdman!"
"I knew it was him!"
"Where is he, old man Kong?!"
"Give his coordinates and I swear I'll pluck every single feather off his body!"
Hamr's hatred toward Morgans wasn't sothing new.
That damned bird was constantly writing news articles about him!
"Enough. Don't waste your energy."
"That birdman's whereabouts are extrely unpredictable."
"Mihawk counts as one. Approved."
"Any other candidates?"
Hamr didn't hesitate.
He imdiately gave another na.
"West Blue. Gecko Moria."
'Moria?'
Even Lance had heard that na before.
From Hamr himself, in fact.
A pirate from West Blue with considerable strength and a decent level of notoriety.
But in terms of fa, he still fell sowhat short of the standards required for a Royal Warlord.
"Hamr, this Moria is indeed on the Warlord candidate list…"
"But his personality is extrely unpleasant."
"And we've never made contact with him before."
"Are you confident?"
Moria.
Origin: West Blue.
Strength: Fairly strong.
Devil Fruit: Paracia-type Shadow-Shadow Fruit.
That was basically all the information they had on him.
Pitifully little.
Hamr nodded.
"I'll go make contact."
"If possible, I'll recruit him directly."
"If he refuses…"
"Heh heh…"
"At the end of the day, he's just a pirate, isn't he?"
Hearing the coldness hidden within Hamr's laugh, the old trio nodded.
They had no objections to Hamr's thinking.
After all, they were rely pirates.
If one didn't work out, they could simply replace him with another.
"Actually…"
"I also wanted to invite Chinjao, leader of the Happo Navy."
The sudden sentence left everyone present speechless.
'Invite Chinjao to beco a Warlord?'
'Did Hamr already forgot what he and Garp had done to the poor man?'
Sure, Chinjao's strength and fa t the standards.
But Hamr had literally emptied out generations of the man's accumulated wealth.
And under those circumstances, you still expected him to agree to beco a Warlord?
As if.
"Forget about Chinjao."
"Mihawk and Moria are fine."
"Any more candidates?"
Hamr fell silent.
The old trio didn't rush him, giving him ample ti to think.
"Not for now."
"There simply aren't that many pirates suitable for the role at the mont."
"I'll go contact Mihawk and Moria first."
"As for the rest, we can take our ti."
"The World Governnt never said we had to settle everything imdiately anyway."
Hearing Hamr's words, old man Kong nodded.
Indeed, just as Hamr said, the World Governnt had provided a relatively generous tifra regarding the Seven Warlords matter.
There was no need to rush.
Taking it slowly was perfectly acceptable.
"Then that settles it?"
"Lance continues following ."
"I'll resupply and head back out to sea."
"Oh right."
"Where's that brat Kuzan these days?"
"I still haven't delivered the exclusive weapon I finished for him."
"I should go find him first."
The mont the word "exclusive" was ntioned again, Sengoku's face imdiately darkened.
They were both exclusive weapons.
So why still wasn't his finished yet?!
He had clearly already provided the materials!
"He's still carrying out suppression missions on the Grand Line."
"As for his exact location, contact him yourself."
"Alright then."
"That's it for now. I'm leaving."
With that said, Hamr brought Lance along and swaggered straight out.
