Navy Headquarters.
This is a high-level conference room. Only naval generals above the rank of lieutenant general are qualified to sit in and speak. As for officers at the rank of major general, although they are qualified to enter, they are only qualified to observe and record.
The room was quiet without any noise. In the silence, only the voice of Navy Marshal Sengoku could be heard speaking slowly in the hall.
"Then, the reorganization of the G8 branch base will be decided according to the above."
"in addition… "
Sengoku pulled out another document, which was about the Ghost Hand Pirates. He pressed it with one hand, turned to look at Dauberman, and said in a deep voice: "Who can tell me, this Ghost Hand Pirates What happened to the group?"
The Warring States Period had just taken over the position of marshal, and he had only recently become accustomed to the job of marshal. However, he did not expect that at this time, such a big trap would appear on the sea.
Dauberman stood up and bowed his head deeply to Seng Guo.
"My subordinates mishandled the situation, and I am willing to take responsibility."
"sit down."
Warring States glanced at Dauberman and spoke in a deep voice. His eyes swept over the many lieutenant generals present and said: "It is necessary to maintain the face and prestige of the navy. If the navy loses its prestige, what will happen to the people on this sea?" Evil forces will become even more rampant."
Regarding the Rhodes incident, after understanding the cause and effect, Warring States was angry and speechless. A small hole failed to be repaired over and over again, until it became like this, and the entire wall collapsed.
It is absolutely impossible to cancel Rhodes' bounty. Even if he reports it to the government, the government will not agree and will definitely order the erasure of Rhodes' existence.
Once the navy loses its prestige, the consequences will be very serious, and may even affect the entire sea. Therefore, in the Warring States Period, it is necessary to sacrifice Rhodes for the sake of world-wide justice.
Although this is somewhat unfair to Rhodes.
certainly.
Ever since Rhodes killed the colonel of the West Sea Division, this so-called injustice no longer exists. No matter what the cause, daring to brutally kill a naval commander is an unforgivable sin.
When the ghost spider incident occurred, Sengoku also heard about it. After all, a major general of his headquarters was defeated, but he did not take it seriously and just ordered Akainu to take full responsibility for the matter.
As an admiral, Akainu cannot keep an eye on a pirate in the West Sea, or even go to sea specially, so Dauberman is still in charge of the matter, and he only approves the troop deployment requests and documents reported by Dauberman.
The order to mobilize the G8 branch to encircle and suppress Rhodes was also issued by Akainu.
But.
Neither Dauberman and other lieutenant generals nor Akainu expected that the G8 branch base would suffer a disastrous defeat. The lieutenant generals and three major generals were all killed. At this time, after hearing Sengoku's words, Akainu sat there expressionless, but The expression on his face was already ugly.
"The problem is that you can't let small mistakes turn into big mistakes. If a mistake occurs, you must make up for it quickly... Ghost Hand Rhodes acts unscrupulously and is cruel and cruel. In order to maintain the prestige of the navy, he must be eliminated as soon as possible."
When Warring States said this, he glanced at Akainu, then shifted his gaze to Qingzhi, and said in a deep voice: "Qingzhi will be solely responsible for this matter."
The incident that was originally Akainu's responsibility was transferred to Qingzhi's side by the Warring States Period. Naturally, many lieutenant generals present knew the significance. Although Akainu and Dauberman were not blamed, this had nothing to do with harsh criticism. There is a difference.
Akainu sat there without saying a word.
Dauberman also kept his head lowered, not daring to look at Akainu's expression.
“…”
On the other side, Qingzhi nodded after hearing Sengoku's order. It was rare for him to show a very serious attitude in the meeting. On the one hand, Ross's matter was indeed extremely bad. On the other hand, Nico Robin was in Ross. On the boat.
The matters that should be dealt with were dealt with. Although those who should be blamed were not explicitly blamed, they were handed over to Qingzhi, which was pretty much it. After Warring States looked at everyone present, he prepared to break up the meeting.
But.
Almost when he was about to speak out, there was a sudden knock on the door, and then he saw a major general rushing in, holding a newspaper in his hand, and said in a panic:
"Report, something happened!"
He delivered the newspaper to Seng Guo. Seng Guo only glanced at it and suddenly felt his head buzzing. As he read more carefully, his fists were clenched tightly.
I saw that in that newspaper, a whole page was devoted to the Ghost Hand Pirates and Ghost Hand Ross. The most important issue was the content of the report!
"A pirate born because of the navy?" 》
The title alone already carries a hint of mockery.
"The Ghost Hand Pirates defeated the elite force of the Navy's G8 branch in the Kingdom of Elias, and killed all the generals who led the force, including Branch Lieutenant General Dalmecia, Branch Major Generals Rohan, Shize, and Asius. "
"According to previous news, this is not the first time that the Ghost Hand Pirates have defeated the navy and massacred the navy. It is a miracle that the pirates who dare to confront the navy head-on and slaughter the navy wantonly can survive to this day. After all, What made him go crazy and kill the navy?"
"Time has to go to more than a year ago..."
What happened in the West Sea has been revealed in almost every detail, occupying almost the majority of the page, and the tone of it is not without a strong sense of ridicule.
Seeing this, Warring States could no longer hold back.
asshole!
Veins popped out on his forehead, and he clenched his fist tightly, wanting to pull out the person who wrote this news report and punch him to death.
At the same time, newspapers were sent into the conference room one after another, and a copy was placed on everyone's table. Everyone picked up the newspaper and read it.
"...That's it. Under the 'guidance' of the navy, a pirate hunter finally became a pirate."
"According to reliable information, from the Western Sea to the Grand Line, the Ghost Hand Pirates have never plundered any town! They have never massacred civilians!"
"All those who fell under the banner of the Ghost Hand Pirates were all cruel pirates who were evil, and... the navy who pursued the Ghost Hand Pirates."
"So, how far can this budding... no, already rising supernova go in its confrontation with the navy? Let us wait and see."
boom!
Warring States finally couldn't hold back anymore and punched the conference table, causing a spider web-like crack on the table, and almost tore the newspaper into pieces with his other hand.
"Damn it! What's going on with this report, what's going on with this newspaper? What is the government doing? How could they let this kind of thing be released into the sea?!"
There was silence in the conference room.
The expressions on everyone's faces almost became extremely ugly, and the roar of the Warring States Period also silenced them all. As for the major generals who were listening, they were already sweating profusely.
problem occurs.
Something big happened!
