When Smoker heard what Tina said, he looked at her in surprise.
"That's not something you would say," Smoker puffed out smoke.
Different from his prickly temper of openly going against his boss, Tina is a very rational person. Even if she is unhappy with her boss, she will not express it openly, but silently disobey his orders.
Tina thought for a moment and then said, "Well, he is the kind of person who is hard to describe, but in a sense, he is quite similar to General Kuzan in some ways."
"That guy..." When Smoker heard the name Kuzan, he was lost in memories for a moment.
Smoker has a very good relationship with Aokiji. After hearing that Aokiji and Akainu failed in the competition for the position of Admiral and quit the navy, Smoker felt very complicated.
Smoker couldn't help but become more curious about Nagase. He was similar to Aokiji in some ways. What was the similarity? Was it their sense of justice
With doubts in his mind, Smoker followed Tina to find Nagase.
Smoker took a look at Nagaze. Nagaze was not very tall. Smoker estimated that he was only about 1.8 meters tall, which was the shortest among the admirals.
However, Smoker did not doubt Nagase's strength because of his height. In this world, being tall does not necessarily mean you are strong, otherwise the world should be ruled by giants.
Killing the Four Emperors Kaido is the best proof of Nagase's strength.
Smoker was looking at Nagaze, and Nagaze was also looking at Smoker.
Nagase is very familiar with Smoker, who was unbeatable in the early and late stages.
As the first user of the nature-type fruit ability to appear, Smoker was very oppressive in the early stages, but later on he gradually became weaker and could not keep up with the strength of Luffy and the others.
Smoker is a maverick sailor, and disobeying orders from above is as common to him as eating and drinking.
It’s not that Smoker is sick and likes to disobey orders, but his personality makes him a natural thorn in the side of the current navy.
If someone else gets the credit for nothing, they would be happy, but it's different for Smoker. If it's not his credit, then it's not his. Smoker is not happy about giving Luffy's credit to him. He directly tells those old guys in the World Government to die.
Smoker is also the revolutionary force that Nagase is preparing to develop.
Because Smoker has his own persistence and his own justice.
As long as he understands that he cannot implement his justice in the navy but can in the revolutionary army, then it will be easy to develop into a revolutionary army.
"I heard that you were planning to transfer me to the Navy Headquarters. Why?" Smoker asked directly.
Nagase smiled and replied, "Because you are quite capable, I want to form a team that can defeat all the pirates on the sea."
"It's a bold idea to defeat all pirates." The cigarette in Smoker's mouth shook.
"General Yongze, I have never heard you talk about this before." Tina held her forehead and looked at Yongze.
She had gotten used to it; Nagaze was always like this. She didn't know if it was because he didn't want to tell her for some reason, or if it was because those words were just his thoughts.
"Really? Well, it's enough that you know now." Yongze said with a smile.
Tina rubbed her forehead and began to wonder whether Nagase's troops could get permission from above.
Before Nagase attacked Kaido, there was naturally no possibility of obtaining permission. If it were now, that would not be certain, because Nagase might really be able to do it.
Just then, there was a knock on the office door, and a navy officer walked in and said, "Admiral Nagase, it's time to attend the meeting."
Yongze nodded, then said to Smoker and Tina: "I'm going to a meeting first, and I'll talk to you when I come back."
After saying that, Yongze patted Smoker on the shoulder and said, "Do a good job. I'm counting on you."
Looking at Nagase's departing figure, Tina sighed, then sat down and started writing a plan.
She has been so tired of writing all kinds of materials these days. After all, such a big thing has happened, and Nagaze doesn't write about it, so she must be the one to write it.
"Has he always been like this?" asked Smoker.
Although they had not met for a long time, he could see that Nagaze was a very easy-going person. The communication between Tina and Nagaze was more like that between friends rather than between a boss and subordinates. In this respect, she was quite similar to Aokiji and him.
"Um."
…
When Nagase arrived at the conference room, the seats were almost full. The current admirals were there, as were many strong lieutenant generals from the headquarters, and even the semi-retired Sengoku was there.
There is no doubt that this was a very important meeting for the participants.
"Haha, Nagaze, you're here, come and sit here." When Karp saw Nagaze coming, he quickly waved to Nagaze and asked Nagaze to come to the seat next to him.
Nagase nodded and walked over to sit next to Garp.
Although it was a very heavyweight meeting in terms of the participants, not only were there two generations of naval marshals, but also the three admirals of the headquarters and the admiral substitutes, as well as some heavyweight lieutenant generals.
But the content of the meeting did not mean much to Nagasawa.
In general, let's talk about the impact of Nagase's crusade against Kaido, what actions the navy should take next, how to curb the development of the Great Pirate Era, and how to end the Great Pirate Era.
These have nothing to do with Nagase, he is not a real navy. Nagase has not forgotten his original intention, he is an undercover agent of the revolutionary army.
So during the meeting, Nagase basically chatted with Cap, discussing which donut shop made the best donuts and what tea went best with what food.
"If you ask me, you should have a sip of strawberry milk after eating donuts," said Nagasawa.
Garp laughed and replied, "I'm not used to that. Warring States tea is more suitable for me."
Zhan Guo couldn't hold it in any longer, "No wonder I was wondering why the consumption of tea was not right recently, it turned out to be you, go buy it yourself!"
Karp smiled but said nothing. Buying something yourself won't be as good as getting it for free.
Akainu, who was standing there preaching how he would end the Great Pirate Era, heard the conversation between the three people and unconsciously clenched his fists.
But Akainu had no choice but to get angry in vain, because none of these three people were easy to mess with.
One is Garp, who defeated the Rocks Pirates and became a hero of the navy.
One is the new navy hero Nagasawa who just defeated the Beasts Pirates and killed the Four Emperors Kaido.
One is the previous admiral.
Two naval heroes and a naval marshal, who can stand this? You have to endure it even if you are unhappy.
At the end, Akainu was in no mood to talk anymore, so he said calmly: "General Nagase, you are the protagonist of this incident, so it is up to you to express your opinion."
Hearing Akainu's words, Nagase was stunned for a moment, but he did not refuse. He stood up neatly and said, "My opinion is to strike hard at the pirates."
"The reason why the Great Pirate Era became more and more intense is largely due to the pursuit of profit. People saw so many people go out to sea and become successful, becoming pirate emperors and famous pirates, so they yearned for it, so they had to fight against those famous pirate groups."
Akainu glanced sideways slightly. What Nagase said was very much in line with his thoughts.
Many of the navy officers present nodded, and Zhan Guo also nodded.
He had started the Battle of Marineford with this purpose in mind, executing the Pirate King's son in public and finally destroying the Whitebeard Pirates, one of the Four Emperors of the New World.
If successful, it would be a heavy blow to the pirates and would curb the development of the Great Pirate Era.
But unfortunately he failed, and Ace was rescued during the live broadcast. Everyone only saw the brave pirate and failed to see the strength of the navy. Instead, it accelerated the development of the great pirate era.
"In addition to cracking down on pirates, we must also strengthen the rule of law. Many people become pirates not because they want to, but because they are oppressed and eventually become pirates." Nagase said again.
The navy officers present were all stunned. How did this suddenly get to the construction of the rule of law
Then Nagase also said that nobles should not have privileges over ordinary people, forcing Akainu to stop Nagase from speaking.
He felt that if Nagase continued to speak, some CP0 might rush into the meeting room.
Although the Navy is a violent agency of the World Government, the Navy is also wary of the World Government. The World Government trusts its own CIPHER POL the most.
"Admiral Nagase, those are not what we should be concerned about. These are issues that the officials of the World Government are considering. They are still focusing on how to defeat pirates." Akainu said.
Although Akainu stopped Nagase in time, there were still some marines present who were thinking deeply about Nagase's words, and Fujitora was one of them.
He thought about it carefully and found that what Nagase said seemed very similar to some of the ideas of the Revolutionary Army.
This time, Nagase gave Akainu face and did not continue talking, but instead dropped a bombshell.
"The Pirate Emperor group must be eliminated. My next target is the Big Mom Pirates."
In an instant, the entire conference room exploded and many people started discussing.
There is no doubt that Nagase's words mean that he is preparing to kill the BIG MOM Pirates just like he killed the Kaido Pirates.
"Young people are full of energy. Not long after they defeated the Beasts Pirates, they are now targeting the BIG MOM Pirates." Sengoku said with a smile, stroking his beard.
"As a general who was promoted to the rank of general through world conscription like General Nagasawa, I feel ashamed that I have done nothing so far." Fujitora looked at Nagasawa with admiration.
He likes Nagaze's personality very much, and thinks that Nagaze is a sailor who works seriously and has his own justice. The two have a good relationship.
Garp gave a thumbs up and grinned, "As expected of the navy I introduced."
Garp really felt that it was a good thing that he went out that day. He lured Nagase to the navy, allowing the navy to gain such a powerful admiral.
Nagase's words made Gion nodded, and she recognized Nagase as the naval admiral in her heart.
As a reserve for admiral, she originally felt that the world conscription was inappropriate. Allowing a new recruit who had just entered the navy to become an admiral was a huge problem.
However, Nagase's performance proved herself, and Gion had to admit that compared to her promotion to general, Nagase, a new recruit, could do more as a general.
"BIG MOM Pirates? I think it would be better to target the Whitebeard Pirates." Akainu thought for a while and said.
"The Whitebeard Pirates once brought us a defeat. If we destroy them, we can eliminate the previous negative impact and prove the strength of the navy. At the same time, the bloodline of the Pirate King is also in the Whitebeard Pirates. If we let it develop, it will become a big trouble in the future."
After Akainu said this, the many navy officers who were shocked by Nagase's words just now felt that it seemed to be true.
Although the Big Mom Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates are both Four Emperors pirate groups, the Whitebeard Pirates had severely slapped the Navy in the face before, almost rubbing the Navy's face on the ground.
If the Whitebeard Pirates were defeated, it would have a different meaning and would be an encouragement to the entire navy.
At this time, Nagase spoke up: "I don't agree with what you said, Sakaski. The destruction of the Beasts Pirates has proved to the world the strength of the Navy. Compared with the Whitebeard Pirates, the BIG MOM Pirates are more harmful to the people."
"Charlotte Linlin has a brutal personality. Even if it is a territory under her own pirate group, if it fails to pay enough desserts, it will be destroyed."
"Although the Whitebeard Pirates are pirates, they have never harmed the public and are far less dangerous than the Big Mom Pirates."
"Why are you ignoring the more dangerous Big Mom Pirates and going after the Whitebeard Pirates instead?"
Nagase would be a fool to fight the Whitebeard Pirates, who are the future allies of the Revolutionary Army.
"This is only on the surface. Whitebeard's hidden danger is even greater. If we don't defeat the Whitebeard Pirates now, the Whitebeard Pirates may take the opportunity to develop their strength and become even more powerful, which will have a great impact on the stability of the entire world." Akainu said.
For Akainu, if the people of an island and a country are to be compared with the stability of the entire world, he will definitely choose to make the world stable.
In Akainu's opinion, Nagase has no sense of the overall situation. If Whitebeard takes advantage of the fact that only the two emperors are left in the sea to rapidly develop his power, the consequences will be much worse than the impact caused by the BIG MOM Pirates.
"I support General Nagasawa's idea." Fujitora spoke, expressing his position.
Fujitora usually first looks at how many people he needs to protect and how he should protect the people, rather than looking at how many enemies there are and how many enemies he kills. This is his justice.
"Whitebeard..." Akainu wanted to emphasize the threat posed by the Whitebeard Pirates, but was interrupted by Nagase.
"Since Admiral Akainu wants to defeat the Whitebeard Pirates so much, why don't you lead the troops to defeat the Whitebeard Pirates yourself? I will be waiting for your good news at the headquarters base." Nagase said.
His meaning is very simple: if you can do it, then go ahead.
Akainu was silent for a while. He really couldn't do it. If he had Nagase's strength, the outcome of the war at the top would not be the failure of the navy.
Akainu touched the wound on his chest. If it weren't for Kizaru and Aokiji by his side, he might have died at the hands of Whitebeard.
The next step is easy. Because of Nagase's strength, there is basically no need to worry about whether the expedition against the BIG MOM Pirates will be successful. The key point lies in how to maximize the deterrent power of the navy.
