Naval Headquarters, Marineford.
"Bullshit prophecy! Do you take the excuses I used to fool Teach seriously?!"
Ron's extremely depressed voice sounded in the marshal's office. What followed was Warring States' calm, serious, and inviolable questioning.
"Stop playing tricks on me! If you know something, just tell me. I won't eat you!"
"Yes, Ron. If you have any information, you can tell everyone. There is no need to hide it."
Lieutenant General He was also advising from the side, speaking earnestly and looking like he was comforting the younger generation.
Ron: "..."
Is this what is called karma
You lied too much and now no one believes you when you tell the truth? !
Ron looked dejectedly at the navy and government bosses in front of him, who were looking like three courts, and sighed: "Why don't you believe me? If I really had the ability to predict, do you think I would still be sitting here and talking to you today? Are you talking nonsense?”
"Am I stupid or are you stupid?!"
"Hmph! Who knows if your kid did this on purpose! I can't be too cautious when dealing with you..."
When Garp spoke seemingly casually, Ron was slapped with the label of "evil intentions".
The latter stared at him with wide eyes and disbelief.
Garp, a navy hero with thick eyebrows and big eyes, actually rebelled against the revolution? !
Warring States stared at him seriously, and after a long while he discussed in a low voice with the expressionless government official next to him, and finally nodded.
"Well, considering your contribution to the Navy this time, this matter ends here."
Ron breathed a sigh of relief, they were finally over.
"but!"
Warring States emphasized his tone and spoke solemnly.
"Also in view of your mistake of not reporting it after knowing it! I would like to issue a notice on behalf of Wu Laoxing, the highest decision-making level of the government. From today on, 'Canglong' Ron, you must accept a six-month grounding in the G10 branch. Without me and Wu Lao According to Xing’s order, you are not allowed to leave the G10 branch for thirty kilometers!”
"Otherwise we will not be punished severely!"
Ron: "Meow meow meow???"
…
Family town, in the courtyard bought by Zefa.
"Pfft hahahaha, grounded? You?"
The purple-haired old man dressed as an old farmer laughed so hard that he was out of breath. He glanced at Ron with strange eyes and finally opened his mouth.
"puff!"
"Hahahahahaha!"
"You have today too! Ron!"
"It's not that funny..."
Ron rolled his eyes and looked at him: "Obviously, I was punished because I didn't report the knowledge, but what?!"
"Humph, now that I know you still do that?!"
Seeing this, Zefa stopped laughing instantly and looked at Ron with a dark face. No matter he really couldn't find anything to say about this disciple, he sighed leisurely.
"Ron, the rulers have different considerations than us soldiers."
"We feel that the less evil in the world, the better. Even if we have to pay huge sacrifices for it, we will continue to move forward bravely."
"But the Five Old Stars only need to maintain their rule stably, and that's enough!"
"You should be glad that you didn't cause a big mess this time! Otherwise, going to war with the Four Emperors during the World Conference would not be something that can be overcome with just one grounding!"
Zefa said earnestly, and then sighed melancholy.
Ron's grounding was not an accident. Even if there was no so-called "prophecy", the higher-ups would find excuses to ground him.
after all…
The navy's series of big moves have made Wulaoxing deeply uneasy.
It's not enough to say that they are afraid. After all, the World Government controls the lifeblood of the navy: funding.
As long as there is any bad sign in the navy, the Warring States Period will not even be able to pay the soldiers' pensions if the funds are reduced.
It’s all about eating right!
Not to mention that the navy does not have its own weapons and equipment factories and relies entirely on government supplies. In terms of organization, they are just a combat unit. This is a common problem in the army and is the same in any country.
Even if there is, it's just a few navy scum sneaking around and making small fuss, and it cannot cover the entire naval force.
The Navy's successive big moves this year have made the muddy waters of the New World even muddier. The achievements it has made are worthy of recognition, but what the Five Old Stars need is stability, not major changes.
In the eyes of the superiors who only wanted stable rule, Ron's behavior was no different from pirates' rebellion. They were both factors that caused restlessness and would naturally be dealt with.
Grounding Ron was a signal sent by the Five Old Stars to the Navy, and Ron was the chicken that was killed to scare the monkeys.
"It's because of lack of strength..."
Ron had already understood such a simple truth, and secretly sighed: "If I could kill Big Mom and Whitebeard head-on, I should be commended as a naval hero like Vice Admiral Garp, and Not grounded."
Even if the fall of the Four Emperors will cause widespread shock, once things reach that point, it will be too late for the Five Old Stars to be happy!
They are not a just navy who would care about civilian casualties. It is a great joy to have one less troublemaking Yonko.
But Ron couldn't do it and made trouble again, which was very embarrassing and he was stuck in the middle.
Although he has clearly made meritorious service, he cannot accept the commendation.
"As long as you can understand it... use your brain more when doing things in the future and think about the consequences!"
Zefa rolled his eyes and didn't look at him.
Kill Whitebeard
You have quite an idea!
If you can kill Whitebeard, I'll call you teacher!
…
What happened in the Whitebeard Sea was not widely publicized by the Navy. Although Ron successfully made Teach break away from the Whitebeard Pirates and allowed Whitebeard to bear a double blow to the body and soul, the method was too underhanded and hindered the success of the Navy. The Navy has always had a glorious and just image.
Everyone knows that the contemporary naval marshal Buddha Zhi Sengoku is a famous "wise general", but what exactly his achievements are, civilians have no access to them.
In fact, those hidden military honors were almost the same as Ron's this time. They used methods that were not considered glorious and would not be publicized.
But because of this, the Big Mom Pirates, under the instruction of some big figures above, were promoted more vigorously by Morgans, the "big news" of the World Economic News.
Katakuri successfully escaped before arriving at Impel Down, causing the government to increase the bounty on him to 1.2 billion beli. Morgans is indeed a journalist. Even Ron, who personally handled the matter, couldn't bear to read the description in the newspaper. I couldn't help but feel that Katakuri's escape was too tricky.
Killing is the lowest priority, and attacking the heart is the highest priority.
Katakuri's escape this time will definitely drive a nail into Big Mom's heart. Even if he knows that this is a conspiracy played by Ron, Katakuri is destined to be unable to let go of his younger brothers and sisters. Like this time, he will be Treated as consumables and died in a useless war.
So Ron's plan was indeed successful.
There is a faint trend of division within the Big Mom Pirates. Katakuri is wandering between his younger siblings and the "Queen" Charlotte Lingling, and no one dares to make any big moves.
The Whitebeard Pirates were troubled by Teach's betrayal. Whitebeard, who was originally aloof from the world, would not make any big moves unless he wanted to seek revenge from Ron.
Not to mention the red hair, the Beast Pirates have disappeared for several months since their last defeat... Ron had a hunch that perhaps Kaido had started contacting General Black Snake of Wano Country two years in advance in order to make peace with them. The country has used the deep processing technology of sea floor stone to prepare war materials and is preparing to unveil the prelude to the largest war covering the world!
And Tiqi... After eating the sacrificial fruit, he would not be able to live for a few years, even if he got the dark fruit.
After all, if this kind of sacrifice could be easily intervened, cured, or even offset by other fruits, cp0 would not regard it as a trump card and would have started recycling it long ago.
In the end, the Revolutionary Army believed that there was a so-called "prophecy" to alert the enemy. Even if the spy who stayed in the navy returned the information that "the prophecy was just a joke," Dorag would not dare to bet.
They will definitely shrink their troops, suspend the uprising, wait for the 1518 World Conference to pass, and then rearrange their plans depending on the situation.
Thinking about it this way, it is more than just completing the plan.
It couldn't be more perfect! !
not to mention…
After this series of big moves, Ron believes that his current reputation in the sea is no weaker than that of the three generals. Even for those ambitious guys, he is more worthy of vigilance than the three generals!
Even the fame has been achieved, which really kills seven or eight birds with one stone!
Standing in the office at the top of the G10 branch, Ron was chewing his cigar with a melancholy look on his face.
"The only problem is, do I really have to stay at the base for half a year?!"
