After Marshal Warring States' consideration, the disaster left by the Golden Lion was not announced through the press.
So what if it is announced
Apart from making people panic, it cannot solve any practical problems. Only when the navy eliminates those ferocious beasts causing chaos can the people feel completely at ease.
As the anchor of the One Piece world, the Navy has always adhered to the principle of pragmatism, which is why it can leave the impression that "the Navy is the protector" in the hearts of ordinary people.
However, just because ordinary people don't know about it doesn't mean that the major forces don't know about it.
In particular, some big shots with powerful eyes had already been notified through government officials, and they quietly moved away from the castle closer to the forest. Before the government came up with practical solutions, they would avoid places where there were many wild beasts.
The blue crystals scattered by the golden lion in the sky were a plague in Ron's eyes, a vast natural disaster that would challenge the inherent order even if it failed!
From this aspect, Ron admired him.
Because Ron can't be as free and easy as the Golden Lion, he wants to conquer the world for greater peace.
The new world, the territory of the Whitebeard Pirates.
On the Moby-Dick, Whitebeard's eyes were blank, he raised his glass and didn't know what he was thinking.
Marco stood far away and sighed in distress, but in the end he did not disturb Whitebeard from drinking.
The death of the Golden Lion established Ron's reputation, and the previous war with Kaido played a huge role. Now the name "Blue Dragon" of the sea is as famous as the general, attracting fear from all sides.
It is said that even the "Big Mom" of the Four Emperors of the Sea of Nations, who has always been autistic, has given instructions to his children not to mess with him unless necessary.
Charlotte Lingling is not so arrogant that her sons and daughters can challenge Soryu. In this era of great pirates with a strong navy, life is difficult for everyone.
But Marco knew that Whitebeard was not afraid of Ron, he was just remembering him.
"You know Ace, eighteen years ago, before Golden Lion went to the Navy Headquarters, he came to see me."
"Um?"
Since Whitebeard was obviously in a bad mood, everyone on the deck moved quietly for fear of disturbing him. Ace sat aside and ate quietly. He raised his head when he heard the words, and was stunned not knowing what to say.
But Whitebeard didn't seem to be prepared to listen to what he had to say, and continued to talk to himself.
"Do you believe that man would be arrested by the Navy?"
"The golden lion said this to me at that time."
"Executing Roger in the weakest place, the East China Sea, is the final insult to that man!"
"That's an opponent that even proud people like the Golden Lion recognize! One Piece, Gol D Roger!!"
Ace couldn't help but stop his movements and looked silent.
When he came to Whitebeard, he had heard enough rumors about Roger and his biological father. He couldn't believe that the man who had only brought him pain and darkness and left behind this "sinful bloodline" would be an upright man.
This is probably what is called "human nature".
As long as Roger's image is not bright, then he should hate him.
But obviously, that's not the case...
Roger impressed many people throughout his life, including his companions and opponents, including the navy.
His grandfather, "Navy Hero" Garp, was willing to hide his sinful bloodline from the World Government for his audacity! The great pirate Golden Lion, who has been hostile to each other for decades, broke into the Navy headquarters alone because he did not believe that he was arrested, and paid the price with his legs!
Even the "red-haired" Shanks, who was the same Yonko as the current "dad", saved Roger from the navy because of Roger's legacy.
These are things Ace never dared to imagine before.
The people he hates are the real heroes he admires, not the despicable villains he makes up.
"does it worth?"
"Huh? What did you say?"
Whitebeard's attention was attracted by this soft call, and he turned back to look at Ace.
"I mean, is it worth it?"
"Even if Adwall loses the sea battle, after Roger's death, the Golden Lion will still be the strongest pirate in the sea, right? At that time, Dad, you had no intention of fighting for the Pirate King. He clearly had the opportunity to replace Roger and become the new Pirate King. …”
"In the end, he was defeated at the Navy Headquarters. He wasted eighteen years, and now he is killed by Soryu... right?"
Whitebeard chuckled and asked.
Ace was silent.
"Gu la la la!! This is the golden lion, Ace!!"
Whitebeard laughed loudly: "He regards Roger as his lifelong rival. He cannot defeat Roger. Even if he becomes the new Pirate King, he will not be happy at all!"
"If a pirate can't do what he wants, what's the point?"
This sentence was said by Roger to the Golden Lion before the Battle of Advor. A year before Roger surrendered, he chatted with Whitebeard about the Golden Lion.
But at that time, no one, including Whitebeard, expected that the Golden Lion would later break into the Navy Headquarters alone and do what he wanted to do.
"You're still young Ace, but I can tell you that if you really want to find a reason for the Golden Lion, I can only say this."
"This is the big pirate, 'Golden Lion' Shiji!!!"
Wow! !
Whitebeard reversed the wine glass and spilled the clear wine on the deck.
Good luck to you, Golden Lion.
…
The old pirates are remembering the passing of a legend, and the new pirates are peeking at the status of the legend. However, the wheels of history roll forward, crushing everything that stands in front of it, and never stop.
Compared to Whitebeard's sentimentality, Ron was only depressed at this moment.
In the windless zone, the fleet with the Qilin as the main ship opened up its position in a mighty manner and sailed towards the East China Sea. On the deck of the Qilin, Ron was holding the documents handed to him by Flying Squirrel, looking confused.
"Prosecutor? Me?"
"Yes, this is what the marshal meant."
The flying squirrel looked at him amusedly: "This mission will not go to an uninhabited island. It doesn't matter whether there are ferocious beasts there, so most of the places we pass by have naval branches stationed. In order to avoid causing chaos, we need to think of an excuse. ”
Notify the branches all over the world = tell the world!
Never underestimate the level of corruption in the Shihai Branch and the collusion between officials and businessmen. So in order to avoid leaking the news and causing widespread chaos, the dignified Navy Headquarters Admiral Candidate Soryu, leading the huge fleet of ten war beasts, naturally needs a suitable person. reasons to appear in the East China Sea.
The prosecutor is the identity that Warring States came up with for him, but this identity is not a decoration!
Not a decoration!
Not a decoration!
Say important things three times.
Ron really needs to check on every branch base he visits!
How to deal with extremely guilty and corrupt people is his problem. Anyway, after returning home, Warring States will see a detailed investigation report on all Donghai branches!
This is a military order!
"Why don't you give it to me before you go?"
Ron's eyes widened.
"The marshal is afraid that you will cause trouble for him... Oh no, he is afraid that you will not accept the trouble."
Flying Squirrel almost told the truth and grinned tactfully: "Ron, turning back in the middle of a mission is not only disobedience to military orders, but also a felony of disregarding orders. You can go to Judicial Island. You have to think clearly. !”
Ron: "mmp!!"
Complaining about the Warring States theory at the headquarters and now going back to look for the Warring States theory are two completely different things! The old fox is indeed an old fox, even these word games were clearly arranged with him.
But Ron still had a problem.
"As for the prosecutor, Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel, you are more suitable, right?"
"You must know that you are a veteran and you are very popular in the Navy."
Regarding this, there was no jealousy on the flying squirrel's face, only deep admiration.
"That's why I'm teamed up with you!"
"You are a candidate for general. Although we have the same military rank, our status is different. I don't dare to overstep your bounds."
Did you figure me out from the beginning of the grouping? !
Unfortunately, I thought it was just to balance combat power! !
Ron was stunned.
