Chapter 367: The Power of the Black Crow
The Sabaody Archipelago was considered a vital crossroads between the New World and the first half of the Grand Line. While Fishman Island lay beneath the sea, most pirates and humans avoided it due to its unique and complex nature.
Sabaody, however, was entangled with numerous forces, and as it was situated within the largest Navy-controlled sea zone in the first half, any conflict here would quickly draw the attention of Marine Headquarters.
And indeed—news had already reached them.
"What? A battle on Sabaody Archipelago?" Inside his office, Fleet Admiral Sengoku frowned, holding a Den Den Mushi. "Who are the combatants?"
"Black Crow? Damn it, it’s him again. And the other one...?"
"Hmm? Silver Axe? Are you certain?"
"I see."
After hanging up, Sengoku tapped his finger on the desk rhythmically, clearly deep in thought.
Then, he picked up another Den Den Mushi and dialed.
"Head to Sabaody Archipelago. Black Crow has engaged Silver Axe, a former member of the Rocks Pirates. Don’t interfere unless necessary. But if you get a chance—capture Silver Axe. He’s old and alone; bringing him in could prevent future trouble. Don’t bother with Black Crow... we’re not ready for that war."
Sengoku knew very well that capturing Mio, the Black Crow, was not feasible at the moment. The man was at his prime, unpredictable, and armed with a terrifying array of abilities.
