Onepiece: I'm Gojo Satoru

Two days after setting sail, Satoru arrived at the Navy Headquarters aboard a warship from the New World. As the ship docked, Satoru noticed an unexpected figure waiting at the harbor—a man radiating an intimidating aura that felt anything but welcoming. It was Admiral Akainu, one of the Navy's three Admirals.

The soldiers disembarking alongside Satoru greeted Akainu with respect, but Satoru couldn't help but feel uneasy. He searched his memory, trying to recall if he had done anything to provoke the notoriously stern Admiral, but nothing came to mind.

A Fiery Greeting

Satoru decided to play it cool, offering a polite, if slightly cheeky, greeting.

"I didn't expect Admiral Akainu himself to greet me at the harbor. I'm flattered."

Akainu didn't respond with words. Instead, his booming voice commanded, "All of you, get out of here."

The surrounding soldiers quickly retreated, leaving Satoru and Akainu alone in the harbor. Without warning, Akainu raised his magma-coated arm and unleashed his signature attack.

"**Dog Devours Red Lotus!**"

A torrent of molten magma surged toward Satoru, consuming the area in blistering heat. Watching from the Navy Headquarters, Sengoku observed the scene with a calm yet curious demeanor.

"This is so like Akainu," Sengoku muttered. "Always direct."

Beside him, Lieutenant General Tsuru frowned. "This seems impulsive, even for him. But perhaps it's a good way to gauge the boy's strength."

### **Satoru's Counter**

Back at the harbor, the magma dissipated, revealing Satoru standing unscathed. He smiled, though his tone carried a hint of irritation.

"Is this how Admiral Akainu welcomes people? I must say, it's quite... warm."

Akainu's eyes narrowed in disbelief. Before he could recover from his shock, Satoru launched a counterattack. White energy enveloped Satoru's fist as he infused it with his **Conqueror's Haki**.

With a single punch, Satoru sent Akainu skidding backward more than ten meters. The force of the attack left cracks in the stone harbor.

From the window above, Sengoku nodded approvingly.

"Did you see that, Tsuru? Conqueror's Haki infusion at his age. Remarkable."

Lieutenant General Tsuru couldn't hide her surprise. "To repel Akainu so decisively... That's no ordinary feat."

Sengoku chuckled. "And he wasn't even using his full strength. He's still holding back."

The Aftermath

Back on the ground, Satoru crossed his arms, watching Akainu regain his balance.

"How was that, Admiral Akainu? Was my punch strong enough?"

Akainu's expression darkened further. Despite his usual stoicism, the unexpected display of power from someone so young had clearly rattled him.

"Hmph," Akainu grunted. "Don't get cocky. I hope you don't embarrass yourself in your upcoming battle. If you lose, I'll make sure you regret it."

Satoru smirked. "Don't worry, Admiral. Whoever my opponent is, I'll win. You can count on that."

A Headquarters Abuzz

As word of the confrontation spread, Navy personnel whispered about the clash between the Vice Admiral and the Admiral. Seeing Akainu pushed back by a single punch from Satoru left many stunned.

Even the other Admirals were paying attention. The normally laid-back Kizaru raised an eyebrow.

"Impressive," he murmured, watching from a distance. "It seems our little prodigy has surpassed expectations."

Meanwhile, Aokiji observed quietly, calculating in his mind how he might fare against Satoru. For the first time, the Navy Headquarters was abuzz with speculation about the young Vice Admiral's potential.

As Satoru walked away from the harbor, he felt confident and ready for the challenges ahead. Whether it was facing a formidable opponent sent by the World Government or proving himself worthy of the title of Admiral, he knew one thing for certain—**he would never lose**.
