"The most important thing is that this strange beans seems to be produced in massive quantities. Every single combatant in the Whitebeard Pirates has a bag of it!"
Vice Admiral Tsuru stated it bluntly.
"We must figure out what this is!"
"Pass on my orders: the Marines stationed near the Whitebeard Pirates' territory are to launch a full-scale assault on them. No matter the cost, we must get our hands on this beans!"
Sengoku spoke earnestly to Vice Admiral Tsuru.
Vice Admiral Tsuru, fully aware of the beans value, did not try to dissuade Sengoku from this unusually drastic move. Instead, she walked straight out of the office, ready to personally oversee the operation.
....
New World, Dressrosa.
Doflamingo sat on the high platform of the massive coliseum, watching the gladiators below fight to the death.
"Young master, why do you enjoy watching this stuff?"
Sugar, holding a bunch of grapes, asked in confusion.
"Sigh, it's not that I enjoy it. I just have nothing better to do!"
"I'm bored!"
Doflamingo rested his head on his arm as he gazed at the sky.
At that moment, the door was forcefully pushed open.
"Doffy, Doffy, something's come up!"
Trebol, swith his not swinging, hurriedly rushed in.
"What is it?" Doflamingo yawned as he shifted his posture.
He was already used to Trebol impulsive nature. Even if he couldn't take a proper dump, he'd come running to him in a panic.
"Yonko Kaido has contacted us!, He wants us to send Caesar over!" Trebol quickly explained.
"What?!" Doflamingo was so shocked by the news that he immediately sat up.
"Why do they want Caesar?" Doflamingo frowned as he asked.
"They didn't say why!"
"Just that they'd borrow him for a while and then return him!" Trebol said with a grimace.
"Could it be that they're planning to cut us out and produce artificial Devil Fruits themselves?"
"That shouldn't be the case. The Devil Fruits we sold them only earned us a transportation fee. We didn't make much profit from it."
"Doesn't King know this?" Doflamingo was deeply puzzled.
"Doffy, maybe you should ask King?" Trebol suggested.
"Alright, let's go to the office and call King."
Doflamingo stood up and walked out of the room, with Sugar and Trebol quickly following behind.
.....
Doflamingo's office.
Doflamingo, with his legs crossed, dialed King number.
"This is the Captain order!"
"It's best not to anger the Captain!"
Before Doflamingo could speak, King got straight to the point.
"But rest assured, I can tell you that we're not after the artificial Devil Fruits!"
King continued to reassure him.
After all, King was well aware of the importance of these people!
While he could command them, it was still necessary to handle them with a mix of carrot and stick!
Seeing no room for negotiation, Doflamingo reluctantly hung up the phone.
"Trebol, start a secret investigation immediately. Find out why they want Caesar!"
"Go directly to the underworld to gather information!"
"Drag things out with King as long as possible!"
Doflamingo slammed his desk, veins bulging on his forehead.
....
Marineford, Marine Headquarters.
Under the command of Vice Admiral tsuru and the full-force of Rear Admiral, the Marine finally managed to capture a combatant from the Whitebeard Pirates during a battle and successfully obtaining a bag of this miraculous medicine.
In Fleet Admiral Sengoku office.
Six pairs of wide eyes stared in confusion at the large bag of Senzu Beans on the table.
"Sengoku, is this the medicine that can instantly restore one condition?" Garp asked, his voice hushed with curiosity.
"Yes, according to the Whitebeard Pirates' combatant, this thing is called Senzu Beans!" Sengoku nodded, though he couldn't figure out what these pea-like beans were made of. The three Admirals were also full of questions as they looked at the item.
"Fleet Admiral, what exactly is this?" Kuzan (Aokiji) asked curiously.
"You'll understand once you see this recording!" Sengoku said, then played the footage of the Whitebeard Pirates' combatant.
"...."
"Is this medicine really that terrifying?" Kuzan exclaimed in astonishment as he watched the recording.
After all, the Whitebeard Pirates' combatant seemed like an unkillable cockroach, constantly getting up and fighting tirelessly, as if never tiring. This thing seemed as unbelievable as something from another world!
Even Sakazuki (Akainu), who had witnessed the terrifying regenerativeness of Kaido of the Beasts, knew that in terms of recovery speed, Kaido couldn't compare to this miraculous green pill!
"According to the Whitebeard Pirates' combatant, this was invented by a new ship doctor they recruited!" Vice Admiral tsuru read from the interrogation documents.
"On the Moby Dick, there's even a massive factory producing this miraculous medicine called Senzu Beans non-stop all day!"
"Who is this person? Could they be a member of the World Government's science team?" Sakazuki frowned as he spoke.
"No, we've already found out his name—it's Pryce. I've searched through all the World Government records, and this guy doesn't exist. It's as if he appeared out of thin air!" Vice Admiral tsuru said seriously.
"Out of thin air? That's a bit of an exaggeration, tsuru. With so many islands in this world, he could just be a genius from some small village," Garp waved his hand and said directly.
"Regardless, we must get our hands on this! This task is yours, Borsalino!" Sengoku declared, pointing at Borsalino, who was still picking his nose.
"Ah? Why does such an important task fall to me?" Borsalino asked with a bitter smile.
"Because you're in charge of the Marine Scientific Combat Unit!" Sengoku waved his hand dismissively.
