As the screen changed, Enel's personal information appeared.
"Like Fire Dragon Yemu, Thunder God Enel is also someone who has broken past the limits of Devil Fruits. He simultaneously controls the power of the Goro Goro no Mi, known as the strongest Logia-type fruit, and the Kumo Kumo no Mi, a Logia-type fruit said to control weather phenomena. Fortunately, for now, it appears his Logia Devil Fruits have not awakened. Unfortunately, even without awakening, he has already mastered power comparable to the ancient weapons."
"In the New World's Totto Land waters, he once used a technique called Raigo and instantly destroyed fifty pirate ships. During the battle against the Silver Axe Pirate Crew, he used a technique called Mamaragan Domain, shrouding the entire Bartoli-Raf Sea in thunder and eliminating most of the Silver Axe Pirate Crew's fighting force almost instantly."
"In addition, Enel possesses Observation Haki so absurd it is practically a cheat. Ambushes are completely meaningless against him. As for Armament Haki, he has also reached the limit and mastered the power of internal destruction. Regarding Conqueror's Haki, we are relatively fortunate. At present, there is no evidence that he has mastered Conqueror's Haki coating."
"It can be said that against Enel's dual Devil Fruit abilities and Observation Haki, numbers mean nothing..."
"Fortunately, however, we also have quite a few Logia-type Devil Fruit users. So, Sakazuki, Borsalino, Kuzan. Each of you will lead one Vice Admiral and take command of one warship, along with five additional Marine warships, for a total force of eight ships to handle the Thunder God Pirate Crew."
"The reason we are deploying so many forces is because aside from Thunder God Enel, the others in the Thunder God Pirate Crew are not weak either."
"In terms of combat power, the Thunder God Pirate Crew's current lineup consists of one Grand Priest and twelve Priests."
"Among them, the Grand Priest, Stuart Wiggins, is a Zoan-type ability user who ate the Ancient Zoan Kuma Kuma no Mi, Iron-Eating Beast form. On top of that, he is also a Great Swordsman-level fighter. In terms of combat power, he is absolutely at the level of an Admiral candidate."
"Of the remaining twelve Priests, eight originally came from the Thunder God Pirate Crew, while the remaining four joined yesterday after the Silver Axe Pirate Crew's defeat. They are:"
"Tlaloc, a Zoan-type Snake-Snake Fruit, Forest Python form user."
"Apocli, a Paramecia-type Spring-Spring Fruit user."
"Huiztla, a Zoan-type Bat-Bat Fruit, Flying Fox form user."
"Centotl, a Zoan-type Dog-Dog Fruit, Hyena form user."
"Zorani, a Zoan-type Mushi Mushi no Mi, Butterfly form user."
"Maisley, a Zoan-type Ox-Ox Fruit, Giraffe form user."
"Tippi, a Paramecia-type Net-Net Fruit user."
"Tonatiuh, a Paramecia-type Roll-Roll Fruit user."
"These eight are the Eight Priests of the Thunder God Pirate Crew. The remaining four are Travis, Koya, Locke, and Kark. According to current intelligence, these four have not eaten Devil Fruits..."
"And according to our intelligence, all twelve Priests possess strength no weaker than a Marine Headquarters Rear Admiral. Among the first eight, even the weakest has mastered at least two Rokushiki techniques. And because they only ate their Devil Fruits recently, they have not yet fully mastered their powers. If they are allowed to grow, it is very possible that they will reach Vice Admiral-level combat power. The most troublesome part is that all of these people come from non-World Government member nations, so they naturally harbor resentment toward the Marines and the World Government."
The atmosphere in the conference room immediately grew heavy.
Although they had already known that the Sky Pirates would not be easy to deal with, the fact that just one Thunder God Pirate Crew possessed so much terrifying combat power was alarming enough. What about the other two major fleets? One of them was even made up of Fishmen.
At that moment, Borsalino asked a very important question, one everyone cared about.
"Fleet Admiral Sengoku, is the Thunder God Pirate Crew the only one with this many Zoan-type Devil Fruit users, or...?"
Sengoku's expression darkened slightly.
"Unfortunately, according to our intelligence, when Fire Dragon Yemu invaded Impel Down, he obtained an unknown number of Devil Fruits from the prisoners there. A conservative estimate puts the number at fifteen. Add to that their cooperation with the Beasts Pirates..."
Everyone was shocked.
"In other words, the Sky Pirates' other two fleets may also have no fewer Devil Fruit users than this?"
"Mm. And the troublesome part is that most of them are Zoan-types."
Sengoku nodded.
This time, even the Vice Admirals, as high-level combat forces, tightly furrowed their brows.
As Marine Vice Admirals, nearly all of them had mastered Haki. But that was power they had gained through decades of constant training. Devil Fruits were different. As long as someone ate one, they could immediately gain powerful abilities.
Among the three types of Devil Fruits, these Vice Admirals were not worried about Logia-types, nor were they worried about Paramecia-types. What annoyed them the most were Zoan-types.
That was because among the three types, Logia and Paramecia fruits did not greatly enhance the user's physical body. Aside from their troublesome abilities, the Vice Admirals could deal with them easily enough. But Zoan-types were different. Zoan Devil Fruit abilities enhanced every aspect of the user's physical capabilities.
That greatly weakened the advantage they held through Haki, not to mention that these people had also mastered part of Rokushiki.
Seeing their expressions, Sengoku understood what they were thinking.
"I know what all of you are thinking, but there is no need to worry too much. Because they ate their Devil Fruits only recently, they cannot fully bring out the fruits' power yet. So now is the best opportunity for us. Otherwise, once they grow stronger, we will truly be in trouble."
Everyone understood that logic as well. After all, judging from the photos on the screen, these people were all younger than the last.
Devil Fruit abilities combined with young bodies. If they were allowed to keep growing, they really could become a major problem.
"That is the general intelligence on the Thunder God Pirate Crew. Next is the Sky Pirates' second major fleet: the Sun Pirates."
As his words fell, the screen behind Sengoku changed once again.
"The Sun Pirates evolved from the former Sun Army of Fish-Man Island. Their captain, Fisher Tiger, was already the leader of Fish-Man District on Fish-Man Island when he was young, and he possesses extraordinary prestige. After joining the Sky Pirates and becoming their navigator, his fame only grew even stronger."
"Because of the Fishmen's blockade, we know very little about the Sun Pirates. However, based on the intelligence we previously gathered on Fish-Man Island, we can still make some deductions."
"The most important point is their captain, Fisher Tiger. Fishmen already possess powerful physiques by nature, and Fisher Tiger, who was able to become the leader of Fish-Man District, is even more extraordinary. He can be described as a monster. At Sabaody Archipelago, he displayed Admiral candidate-level combat power. And now, he has eaten the Moa Moa no Mi once possessed by the former World Destroyer, Byrnndi World. I do not need to explain how terrifying the potential of that fruit is. It possesses the power to destroy an island in a single blow. Among the combat forces we have left, the only one who can handle that terrifying power is Zephyr..."
