There is such a story. Once upon a time, there was a family with two sisters.
Every morning, their mother would boil an egg for each of them to increase nutrition. But the elder sister didn't like eating eggs, so she secretly gave her own eggs to her and asked her to eat them.
Day after day, year after year, my sister has become accustomed to eating two eggs every morning.
But suddenly one day, that morning, my sister habitually reached out to grab the eggs beside her sister's bowl, but she was stopped by her sister.
"this is mine!"
My sister is very angry, obviously you don’t eat eggs at all.
The breakfast that was supposed to be heartwarming ended unhappily.
You can take what I am willing to give; you cannot rob what I am not willing to give; taking it for granted is even more ridiculous... This is the truth.
The Holy Land, the tall building of the World Government, the office of the Five Old Stars.
The five old stars with long beards are holding the phone and their voices are cold.
"Is she sure that's what she said?"
"I'm... extremely sorry, Lord Wulaoxing, she... that woman did say that."
"waste!!"
The bearded five-old star threw down the microphone angrily and pressed his hands on the table: "They have lived too comfortably these years. It seems that they have forgotten the horror of the world government!"
"How dare she? Why does she dare?!"
Something that has never happened before has happened. This is a slap in the face of the government. If this matter turns out to be a good thing, then what confidence do they have to continue to maintain their rule.
In the office, the other three people also looked solemn.
It is conceivable that this is not an end, on the contrary, it is a beginning!
No matter how thunderous means they use to suppress their arrogance, there will only be an endless stream of people raising the banner of resistance.
“There is no other way, let’s officially cancel this year’s World Conference!”
Swordsman Wu Laoxing hugged his sword and sighed: "It has been delayed for so long, and some of the participating countries have begun to criticize us, but the time is urgent, and that gentleman will understand us."
Orric's threat exists not only between them, but also with countries around the world, and no one on either side completely trusts the other.
Coupled with the destruction of Fishman Island, the 1522 World Conference that was supposed to be held a few months ago was postponed indefinitely.
The participating countries who understand the movements of the sea are not overly surprised by such unprecedented moves, because they know very well that if Orric suddenly launches an attack and wants to kill them all, the World Conference is undoubtedly the best time.
Hearing this, the blond star in a red suit held a wine glass and said slowly: "The World Conference is a small matter, and things have been postponed before because of things... But the postponement must have a justifiable reason."
"The windless zone deep in the opponent's territory is difficult to penetrate unless a large number of airship troops are sent to take risks. And if the warship army is damaged too much when leaving the country, it will actually lose the majesty of our government!"
"No! The Revolutionary Army has officially declared war and is watching with eager eyes. Regardless of how important the first guy to stand up is to them, whether he will send troops to help, the airboat force itself is responsible for the important task of patrolling the sea. The army will launch, It will also give them opportunities to cause trouble.”
"There is indeed a possibility. Maybe she deliberately declared the world to be warlike, and it was also done under the instruction of the revolutionary army. The purpose was to lure the tiger away from the mountain."
"What's more, it's a windless zone. Even an empty boat can't say it's 100% safe to cross."
The special climate in the windless zone requires airships to prepare enough fuel to maintain navigation. Coupled with all kinds of terrifying and abnormal sea king beasts, the warships have a narrow escape.
Now that the other party has openly stated that it wants to fight against the government, how should it strike a thunderous blow
In the office, the atmosphere suddenly became silent.
"I feel more and more that we can no longer live without that guy..."
The old Mediterranean man with the most grumpy temper let out a long sigh and pursed his lips in displeasure.
"Looking on the bright side, at least we still have Kizaru to use."
The long-bearded Five Old Star comforted him, and then he shook his head: "It's a pity that his character is destined to be just a tool. This is also the way of survival he chose."
"Let's put Garp's death aside for now. As long as Lord Im is here, he won't cause any trouble."
"Now... how about informing Akainu?"
"agree."
"agree."
"agree."
…
Naval Headquarters, Marineford.
"Hey, have you heard? Someone accepted the bewitchment of the Revolutionary Army and stood up to openly fight against the World Government!"
"What?! Are they desperate?"
"I don't know. Maybe they have been prepared. Then... it will be a hard fight again! I also want to go back to my hometown to get married after the Chinese New Year this year."
"Damn it, how on earth do those useless officials in the government want to bring harm to the world before they give up?! Times are obviously getting better and better!"
"Hush, be careful!"
A soldier pulled his companion's sleeve, looked around and saw no one noticed, then breathed a sigh of relief and pulled him to continue patrolling.
On the top floor of the fortress, in the Marshal's office.
Ron listened carefully to the conversation below, but remained calm and said with a smile: "Is this really good, Marshal? I'm still grounded, so I can just leave it to General Kizaru."
"He is currently busy helping Vegapunk conduct the final stage of experiments and has no time."
Akainu shook his head with a majestic look: "Besides, this is also your chance."
Ron frowned silently.
"What's the meaning?"
"I won't blame you for Garp's death. I ground you to avoid the rumors outside. You and I know this."
Ron was silent after hearing this.
Indeed, if Akainu had insisted from the beginning that he had deliberately killed Garp, how could it be as simple as simply grounding him with the opponent's style of not being able to tolerate a grain of sand in his eyes
In the original work, Fujitora just knelt down to King Riku out of kindness and let go of the heroic Straw Hats who saved Dressrosa, but was ordered by Akainu not to return.
How are the two incidents comparable in severity
"As you said, it's too much of a coincidence."
Akainu took out his cigar and threw one to Ron. One used magma and the other used electricity, and they lit it silently.
He blew out a long smoke ring and said, "That's why I don't believe it even more!"
Akainu stared at Ron's eyes and said seriously.
"I don't believe you don't know what a heavy responsibility it will be to kill Garp, but for you to make this decision and hide it from me, I believe you have your own reasons."
"I still haven't forgotten what you asked me in Shampoo."
If one day there are no more constraints on our heads, will you still be able to stick to your heart
Ron laughed at this.
"... If Teacher Zefa trusted me as much as the marshal, he wouldn't have not seen me for so long."
"He and Mr. Karp have had ups and downs for decades, and there is no need to talk about their relationship... Kuzan is the same, he only cares about his own actions, he is a purely emotional animal."
Akainu's gaze under his baseball cap was deep and distant: "But I'm different from them! I have to find a reason... probably because I'm the marshal."
The heights are different, and the ways and methods of looking at the same thing and putting it into action are also different.
Ron was silent and answered after a moment.
"what do you want me to do?"
Akainu didn't waste any time. He took out the prepared documents and threw them to Ron.
Seeing clearly what was recorded on it, Ron narrowed his eyes slightly.
In this regard, Akainu looked calm: "Don't think that with your assassination team, the navy's intelligence network is useless."
"People outside are spreading rumors that you are not on good terms with the navy and the government, so we might as well use this trick to comply with their wishes."
This is a naval defense map!
The above lists in detail the loopholes that can be exploited in the patrol lines currently deployed by various branches of the Navy.
"I just want one answer, Ron!"
Akainu bit his cigar and looked at him.
"Tell me you're on our side!"
