One Piece: Starting By Playing Gilgamesh Template. Chapter 30 30: Overturning the Seas! The Power from Four Tho

"Four thousand years ago?"

Sengoku froze for a mont.

All along, his thinking had been based entirely on the current era of the seas…

Which was precisely why everything about the Ancient King seed so incomprehensible.

But—

If the other party truly was that Ancient King from four thousand years ago… or soone who had inherited the legacy of the Uruk Empire…

Then everything would suddenly make sense.

After all, everything from four thousand years ago remained shrouded in mystery.

Perhaps in this era, Logia-type Devil Fruit users could only be touched by Seastone or Haki.

But—

Four thousand years ago, there might have been other thods.

Or perhaps—

There existed an entirely different power system in that ancient age!

If the opponent was using power from four thousand years ago…

Then everything could be explained!

"So that ans… power from four thousand years ago… can counter Logia abilities…"

"I wonder… if this kind of power can be replicated… even if only to the level of mid-ranking officers…"

Muttering to himself, a trace of greed and fervor flashed deep within Sengoku's eyes.

Logia users were considered the strongest type of Devil Fruit users.

And a major reason for that—

Was how troubleso they were.

Without Haki or Seastone, no matter how many people attacked, they couldn't even scratch them!

But now—

Everything was different.

If he could obtain that ancient power from four thousand years ago…

Wouldn't that an—

Countless Marines could learn it?

And if that happened…

Just how much would the Marines' overall strength skyrocket?

Especially since this power could catch pirates completely off guard!

After all—

They all firmly believed the sa rule:

That nothing but Haki or Seastone could touch a Logia user!

No…

This power—

No matter what—

Had to be controlled by the Marines.

It could never be allowed to fall into anyone else's hands!

With that thought—

Sengoku imdiately gave Kizaru an order.

"Borsalino! Don't return to Marine Headquarters for now. Keep a close eye on him!"

"I'll send reinforcents imdiately. This man… the secrets he carries are far too great. He must be captured as soon as possible!"

With that—

Sengoku hung up the Den Den Mushi and shouted toward the door:

"Summon Vice Admiral Monkey D. Garp! Admiral Sakazuki! Admiral Kuzan! Vice Admiral Tsuru! To the highest conference room imdiately!"

"Yes, Fleet Admiral!"

The Marine soldier outside responded and hurried off to relay the orders.

…

On the other side—

Kizaru stared blankly at the Den Den Mushi after the call ended.

"…You want to track him?"

"…How troubleso… no consideration for an old man at all…"

Clicking his tongue, he sighed.

Though part of him wanted nothing more than to return to headquarters and relax…

He knew full well—

Just how serious this situation was.

Putting away the Den Den Mushi, his body erupted into golden light—

Transforming into photons as he vanished at high speed.

…

anwhile—

Inside the Marine Headquarters conference room.

After hearing Sengoku's full explanation, Tsuru fell into deep thought before speaking.

"So… regardless of whether this 'Ancient King' is truly a man who has lived for four thousand years… or rely soone who inherited the Uruk Empire's legacy…"

"He has already placed himself completely against us."

"Correct."

Sengoku nodded.

"Judging by his attitude… there's no possibility of cooperation."

That kind of arrogance—

That absolute disdain for everything—

Such a man would never bow beneath anyone.

Soone like that…

Could not be recruited.

"The seas belong to the Marines!"

Standing up, Sakazuki spoke in a firm, ironclad voice as heat waves rolled off his body.

"Whatever legacy he possesses… naturally belongs to us as well!"

"Fleet Admiral Sengoku… I request permission to suppress this lawless individual!"

This ti—

Sengoku did not imdiately reject the proposal.

After all—

A mission like recruitnt would be ruined by Akainu's personality.

But when it ca to capturing and fighting…

There was no denying—

Among the three Admirals—

Akainu was the most relentless.

Unlike the other two, he would never hold back.

However…

Even with Kizaru and Akainu together—

They might be able to suppress the Ancient King…

But capturing him?

That was another matter entirely.

After all—

A Yonko-level fighter could face two Admirals alone—

And still not fall.

And if the Ancient King truly stood at that level—

Then two Admirals alone…

Would never be enough to take him down.
