"I always feel like you're not telling me everything."

  "Never mind, since you don't want to say, I won't ask."

  Smoker shook his head and then spoke again into the Den Den Mushi:

  "Si's a request from Vice Admiral Gion, I'll follow through."

  "I'll notify the other Captains in the East Blue brao search for the wealthy girl named Kaya."

  "As well as the ships of the Giant Tiger Pirates and the Bck Cat Pirates."

  "I'll inform you ohere's any news."

  Hearing this, Gion said with a smile:

  "Thank you, Captain Smoker."

  "Also, I have some matters to discuss with Tashigi."

  "Could you pass the Den Den Mushi to her, so I speak with her privately?"

  Now that she kashigi had a copy of the diary, Gion naturally wao have a thh discussion with her.

  Additionally, she po inform Tashigi about Hina and Ain also having copies of the diary.

  "'t you say it in front of me?"

  Smoker frowned.

  "Just some topics between girls."

  "If you're ied, I don't mind."

  Gion ughed.

  "Tch!"

  Hearing this, Smoker naturally had no i in listening to Gion and Tashigi's versation. After a grunt, he hahe Den Den Mushi to Tashigi.

  Then he voluntarily stepped out of his office.

  A little ter, after making sure Smoker had left, Tashigi spoke into the Den Den Mushi:

  "Vice Admiral Gion, you... you have oht?"

  "Yes, indeed. I do have a copy of Arton's diary."

  "That's great! Vice Admiral Gion, you have ooo!"

  "Tashigi, are you saying it's good because you found out you're not the only oon drew in the doujinshis?"

  "No! no! that's not what I meant, Vice Admiral Gion!"

  "Hehe, don't be nervous, I was just joking, Tashigi. I had you hold the Den Den Mushi because there's something else I wao discuss with you."

  "Please, Vice Admiral Gion, go ahead."

  "Tashigi, I need you to remind Smoker not to take any rash as, uood?"

  "I uand!"

  Tashigi nodded firmly and responded.

  Then, Gion exged some information about the diary copy and Arton with Tashigi.

  She informed her of some points that Tashigi o be aware of.

  Towards the end of the call, as it was about to clude, Tashigi hesitated before asking:

  "Vice Admiral Gion, about the 'Axe-Hand Man' that Artoioned."

  "Do you need me to iigate, or should I subtly suggest to Smoker-san that we iigate together?"

  Upon hearing this, Gion immediately replied:

  "No ashigi."

  "I will personally iigate the matter ing 'Axe-Hand Man.'"

  "Since he was able to injure Vice Admiral Garp, his strength is not something the average marine handle."

  "This applies to both you and Captain Smoker as well."

  "Smoker takes his duties too seriously. If he knew about this, he would definitely iigate."

  "And he might even put aside the iigation of the Giant Tiger Pirates and the Bck Cat Pirates' ships."

  "For now, let's have him focus on iigating those two pirate crews' ships, to locate Arton, or to determine Kaya's location."

  Hearing this, and sidering Smoker's character, Tashigi immediately agreed with Gion's perspective.

  Indeed, if Smoker knew about the existence of such a dangerous 'Axe-Hand Man,' he would not just stand by.

  "If Smoker-san really knew about the existence of such a dangerous 'Axe-Hand Man,' he indeed wouldn't just stand by."

  "I uand, Vice Admiral Gion."

  "I will do as you've asked."

  Tashigi took a deep breath and nodded early.

  ...

  While Tashigi and Gion were on the call,

  Oher side, aboard the Bck Cat Pirates' ship.

  "It looks like, unless something ued happens, a won't be able to escape from the hands of the Bck Cat Pirates on her own."

  "This probably ts as the butterfly effect caused by my arrival in this world."

  After Artohe diary copy to snap a photo of a being judged by a group of Bck Cat Pirates members, even intending to be put into a barrel, he closed his navigation diary system.

  At this moment, He was standing on top of the Bck Cat Pirates' sail, unnoticed by anyone.

  "Do you have any st words, a?"

  "If you don't have any st words, then I'll have to put you into this barrel here."

  The current captain of the Bck Cat Pirates, Jango, patted the barrel o him and said to a in front of him amidst the jeering voices of the Bck Cat Pirates crew members.

  Although Jango might bee a det marine iure, at present, he is still a pure pirate.

  The act of putting someoo a barrel and sinking it to the bottom of the sea, he could easily carry out.
