One Piece : Marine Scientist

"This..."

Looking at Sengoku resolute expression, the three Admirals exchanged glances.

Magellan frowned deeply.

Vice Admiral Tsuru chuckled lightly and shook her head helplessly.

Garp, carefree as ever, patted Leon on the shoulder.

"Fine..." Akainu gritted his teeth and stepped back.

His eyes flickered, still calculating in his heart.

"If Bullet wins, don't think he'll escape Impel Down so easily!" He clenched his fists tightly—he would never let this criminal truly leave Impel Down.

"Kehehe..." Watching the scene unfold, Bullett sneered coldly.

"It seems the Marines have declined in recent years, needing a child to voice such an important decision. Though I'm happy to accept this wager..." He looked at Akainu with disdain.

"But can a mere brat truly represent the Marines? Don't go back on your word later, claiming it was just a child's nonsense!"

"Gyahahaha! Isn't this just another Marine scheme? Going through all this trouble, only to pin everything on a little kid in the end..." Redfield added fuel to the fire.

"Typical of the Marines and the World Government! Did you really think an eight-year-old child would have such courage and insight?"

"Hmph." Sengoku snorted coldly, but before he could speak, Akainu stepped forward, his face twisted in fury as he roared.

"Silence! What 'brat'? This is Dr. Leon of our Marine Science Division!"

When it came to defending the Marines' dignity, Akainu was always the first to act.

Magellan followed suit, shaking his head.

"Thinking he's just an ordinary kid would be naive! Have you ever seen a child whose scientific prowess rivals—even surpasses—Vegapunk's?"

"So scary~ Don't frighten my little brother. If he gets scared, it won't just be the Marines—the World Government might come knocking too." Kizaru pouted, speaking in his usual mocking tone.

"Hmm, that's true." Aokiji nodded in agreement.

"Bwahahaha! So he's an Admiral's little brother, no wonder! Has the Marine Science Division fallen so low that they need a child to handle research and development?" Hearing this, Bullett's mocking expression deepened.

"Silence!" Sengoku bellowed, his eyes filled with cold fury.

"Leon is a genius scientist even the Five Elders hold in high regard. He invented the Seraphim—a Humanoid Weapon even more powerful than the Pacifista... His talent in this field may even surpass Vegapunk's. Who are you to mock him?"

"Bullett, you're unaware..." Vice Admiral Tsuru interjected, glancing at the Seraphim Sakai before turning back to Bullett.

She continued "Sakai... is the Humanoid Weapon he developed—the Seraphim."

"What?!" Bullett froze.

Then disbelief flooded his face.

This unknown powerhouse before him, whose Conqueror's Haki rivaled his own... was actually a Humanoid Weapon?

Impossible! How could a Humanoid Weapon possibly wield Conqueror's Haki? That defies all logic!

"Believe it or not, that's the truth. Sakai is a Humanoid Weapon with the strength of an Admiral, named Seraphim. It was developed using the genetic factors of the Lunarian Tribe, combined with the lineage factors of Akainu and Kaido."

Bullett's face twisted with shock and fury.

"This can't be! How could the Marines' technology have advanced to such a level? Some Humanoid Weapon—this has to be a lie!"

He shook his head, his expression full of skepticism.

"And he is just a brat! How could he possibly have a better scientific power compare to vegapunk?"

Though Sakai did bear a striking resemblance to Akainu and possessed Kaido's dragon horns along with the racial traits of the Lunarian Tribe, that didn't prove anything.

The Marines were full of talented individuals and the seas were home to countless Devil Fruits.

For all he knew, this could just be some trick of illusion!

"Exactly. Whatever their intentions, I refuse to believe this brat is some genius scientist, let alone that this 'Sakai' is merely a Humanoid Weapon!" Redfield spoke up again.

His eyes were filled with doubt and disdain.

Their stubbornness was understandable—the situation was simply too unbelievable.

Still, skepticism aside, they couldn't ignore the weight this child carried.

The fact that the entire Marine leadership, along with Impel Down's warden Magellan, had personally vouched for him spoke volumes.

At the very least, he wasn't some insignificant figure.

This realization made them wary of Leon... Despite lacking strength, he seemed to wield immense authority.

This child demanded extreme caution.

"Heh..." Just as their thoughts raced, Leon's childish laughter suddenly rang out.

He turned to Sakai. "Sakai, use your Laser Beam to break his shackles."

Then, he looked at Bullett. "Bullett, I trust a man of your caliber honors his word. For a fair fight, I'll have him remove your restraints."

With that, Sakai raised his right hand.

Seeing this, Sengoku closed his eyes and remained silent.

Having chosen to trust Leon, he saw no reason to intervene.

Besides, their side had absolute confidence in their strength.

What was there to fear? With the Fleet Admiral, the three Admirals, the Marine hero Garp,and the strongest man in Impel Down, Magellan...

With such a lineup, how could they possibly be intimidated by Bullett alone?

"Fine!" Bullett didn't hesitate—this was his only chance to escape.

He nodded eagerly, his face still twisted in a savage grin, inwardly rejoicing.

His opponents were strong, but at full power, he was confident he could defeat any of them.

But then—Sakai raised hand began to glow.

A blinding light gathered in his palm before shooting forward with a sharp whoosh!

Clang!

The shackles fell to the ground.

Bullett's eyes widened in shock.

This meant... The young man named Sakai before him was actually a Humanoid Weapon!!

He looked at Leon in utter shock.

So this incredibly powerful "young man" was truly invented by this little brat!!
