Everyone left the port of Marineford and came to Sengoku's office.
In Sengoku's office, Ryuya slightly embellished the events.
"So, after you destroyed the island, you beat Weevil into the sea, then used Moonwalk to find an island, and by the way, you met Akainu, and that's how you came back?"
Ryuya nodded, and at the same time, he put his arms around Kalifa.
As for Hina, she looked at Kalifa with envy.
Although her relationship with Kalifa had become very good in recent days, they had even become best friends.
But when it came to Ryuya, they were still in competition.
Now, seeing Kalifa so comfortably nestled in Ryuya's arms, she was very envious.
Sengoku pondered.
He suddenly remembered that Akainu's Colonel had mentioned in his report that one of the mysterious figures was as strong as a hill and had a terrifying healing ability.
Sengoku looked at Ryuya and seriously told him this news.
Although he was the one who had orchestrated this whole thing, he pretended to be hearing it for the first time.
Ryuya's expression gradually turned serious.
The atmosphere in the office became tense.
After a long time, after thinking about what he wanted to eat, Ryuya answered Sengoku, "I don't think that mysterious person is Whitebeard Jr. The timing is wrong. You know, even a Vice Admiral-class warship can't reach that speed! It doesn't add up in terms of time!"
"Also, I think those two mysterious people are definitely organized, and there's definitely a leak in intelligence!"
Hearing Ryuya's words, Sengoku was stunned. He didn't understand why Ryuya would say that.
For the first time, he felt like his intelligence wasn't enough.
Ryuya explained again, "Fleet Admiral-sama, think about it. Even if Akainu hadn't tested them first and launched an attack, they couldn't have come so fast, right? They were directly waiting for him next to the island!!"
"What does this mean? It means they already got the news!"
Sengoku fell into thought again after hearing Ryuya's words.
"You mean there's an inside man in the Navy!"
The more Sengoku thought about it, the more likely it seemed!
On Seagull Island, when he rescued his adopted son, Corazon,
Sengoku learned from Corazon about the existence of the Navy's inside man, Vergo, and quickly imprisoned him in the deep-sea prison.
Now, there was another inside man in the Navy, and this inside man seemed to be in a high position. Sengoku had reason to believe it.
But thinking about how powerful this organization was, Sengoku felt like this sea was going to be in chaos!
"Ryuya, it's a good thing you're in the Navy. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to do anything!"
"It's my duty."
Ryuya said calmly.
"Alright, Ryuya, I'll investigate the inside man. You go and rest. We'll probably be very busy soon!"
Sengoku felt that Ryuya really needed to rest, so he said to Ryuya.
Ryuya nodded and left Sengoku's office.
Just as he turned, a barely perceptible smile curled at the corner of Ryuya's lips.
No one saw this smile.
Walking on the land of Marineford, looking at the endless sky,
Ryuya was in a good mood.
His identity had become even more unshakeable.
No one would have imagined that Ryuya, as White Dove, also had the identity of the mysterious person.
"Ryuya, you seem very happy."
Kalifa pulled Ryuya's arm and said to him.
Ryuya put his arms around Kalifa, who was beside him, and said with a soft smile, "Of course, I'm very happy because I can see you!"
Kalifa was delighted, but she didn't hide from Ryuya that she had joined CP9.
"Ryuya, I want to keep honing my strength. In the future, I want to be the one who protects you!"
Looking at Kalifa's appearance, Ryuya just smiled slightly and didn't say anything.
He supported Kalifa's dream.
Then, the two of them strolled back to Ryuya's room.
The night passed without incident.
"A New Mission"
The next morning, Kalifa left the room.
For strong people at their level,
It was simply a matter of tearing open a wound.
It could heal in the blink of an eye.
Just as Ryuya was about to go back to sleep, his Den Den Mushi rang.
"Fleet Admiral-sama, what do you need?"
"White Dove, come here."
"Okay."
The second day after returning to Marineford, Ryuya was back in Sengoku's office.
As soon as he entered Sengoku's office, he heard Sengoku say to him, "White Dove, I should have let you rest for a while longer, but the New World is in chaos now. The Four Emperors have been established, and Big Mom has even announced that she will hold the first Tea Party.
So, to counter their momentum, we have passed a decision regarding the Shichibukai. We want you to go to Fishman Island first and invite Jinbe!"
[Ding, Sign-in task released: Fishman Island, reward: Peak Observation Haki! Time: 3 days!]
Hearing Sengoku's words, Ryuya nodded, a smile playing on his lips. He said, "Fleet Admiral-sama, I guarantee I will complete the mission."
Seeing Ryuya turn and leave so readily, Ryuya's position in Sengoku's heart rose a few notches.
At the same time, he thought about Ryuya's current fame.
He couldn't help but sigh, "Aokiji, if you don't work harder, the future position of Fleet Admiral may be taken by Ryuya!"
As soon as he walked out of Sengoku's office, Ryuya met Zephyr and Ain.
"Teacher Zephyr, how are you feeling?"
Ryuya greeted Zephyr.
Zephyr unconsciously touched his right hand, which had been transformed into a mechanical arm. He said, "If it weren't for you this time, I would have been killed by Whitebeard Jr."
Zephyr continued, "White Dove, are you going to summon the Shichibukai?"
"Yeah, it's an order just given by Fleet Admiral-sama."
"The Navy is really getting back to its old ways. They actually want to cooperate with pirates!"
Zephyr continued, "Oh, but I don't have much say anymore. I'm basically retired now."
Hearing Zephyr's words, Ryuya was a little surprised. "Teacher Zephyr, are you going to retire to your hometown? What about your students?"
"I've already arranged for the other students to go to other places. Only Ain has been insisting on learning from you, so I brought her here to find you..."
