Navy Headquarters.
In the top office.
Sengoku is sitting at a conference table with Chief of General Staff He, Garp and other senior officials. There are many documents on the table, all of which are information about the Whitebeard Pirates.
"That Blackbeard guy must have bad intentions, but we have to accept this 'gift'." He put his hands on the table and said slowly: "The betrayal of the Whitebeard Pirates probably didn't happen suddenly. Act, but have a conspiracy and plan.”
Blackbeard's information is also available in the Navy Headquarters, but his reputation has been very low before, and the only information that is known is that he belongs to the second division under Whitebeard.
A man who had been Whitebeard's son for decades suddenly rebelled, assassinated the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, defeated Ace, the captain of the second team, and gave them to the navy. The spearhead of all this was... Pointing at Whitebeard.
"Even so, there is nothing we can do."
Warring States said in a deep voice: "He sent the Fire Fist over, and we had to accept it. The government also agreed to the conditions for him to succeed the Shichibukai... No matter what his purpose is, there is no doubt that what he wants to deal with the most now is People have white beards.”
"Whitebeard is getting old too..."
Garp sat next to him, looked down at the table, and murmured to himself.
Warring States glanced at Garp and ignored him.
In fact, as Garp said, Whitebeard is indeed old. Otherwise, how could a mere unknown guy like Blackbeard Teach dare to ride on Whitebeard's head and run wild? !
Whether it was a secret conspiracy or a frontal hostility, no one dared to take action during Whitebeard's heyday, or in other words, all those who took action had already sunk into the sea.
"The government believes that the situation at sea is becoming increasingly chaotic, which is not a good sign. Our navy needs to win another huge battle to stabilize the situation at sea."
Warring States said slowly: "In other words, the war between us and Whitebeard is inevitable, and I don't think Whitebeard will just sit back and ignore Fire Fist."
"Prepare for a public execution."
After He glanced at Garp, he spoke slowly.
Now the whole world knows that Blackbeard handed Fire Fist Ace to their navy. If they kill Ace secretly, Whitebeard will definitely retaliate all over the world. The bad impact caused by that will be too great to bear.
And if Ace is kept imprisoned, Whitebeard may attack Impel Down to rescue Fire Fist Ace, which is also an extremely bad situation.
The only option available now is to attract Whitebeard over by public execution and engage in a head-on battle with the Whitebeard Pirates.
This is a conspiracy, and it also forces Whitebeard to come.
If Whitebeard really doesn't come, that's fine. Whitebeard is so frightened by the navy that he doesn't dare to save his son... Once such news spreads, the whole world will be a lot more stable.
What's more, based on He, Garp and others' understanding of Whitebeard, it is impossible for Whitebeard not to come. Once a date for public execution is set, it is equivalent to announcing the date of war to Whitebeard.
"That's all."
Sengoku said in a deep voice: "The situation of the red hair is unclear. Kaido may cause trouble, but the government will also send CP0 to be ready to support at any time. If the Shichibukai are summoned, no matter how much effort is sent, it will still be a force... Let Aoji Come back, the chances of winning this battle are still very high.”
For the navy, to launch a huge battle, it must have enough chance and certainty to win, because the pirates can be defeated, but they cannot be defeated.
Once they lose, the entire world order will be on the verge of collapse.
When Warring States said this, he turned to look at Garp.
In fact, what made him hesitate the most was Garp's attitude. If Garp could side with the Navy and join forces with him to fight against the pirates as he did in the past, then even Whitebeard and Kaido of the Beast would be the same at the Navy Headquarters. Can resist it.
But the problem is that the relationship between Garp and Ace is a bit messy. Garp has always remained silent on this matter. Once the war actually starts, it is difficult to say whether Garp will help.
Without Garp, one of the top combatants is missing, and the impact is still huge.
"Don't look at me, Sengoku."
Garp poured a cup of tea, took a sip, glanced at Warring States, and said: "When it comes to positions, I still know where I should stand."
"That's good."
Warring States said slowly: "Don't do anything impulsive, Garp, otherwise the title of naval hero will not protect you, and your family members are all criminals now!"
Speaking of which, Sengoku also wanted to scold Garp angrily.
Dragon, the leader of the Revolutionary Army, is Garp's son, Fire Fist Ace is the god-grandson raised by Garp, and Straw Hat Luffy, the pirate supernova, is Garp's grandson.
Except for Garp, everyone in this family is a heavyweight criminal. If it weren't for Garp's fighting power and the many achievements he made back then, I'm afraid the government wouldn't be able to tolerate Garp long ago.
And just when Warring States was about to formulate a more detailed combat plan with He, the headquarters' Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel suddenly rushed in quickly.
"Marshal Warring States, something happened in the Chambord Islands."
"Huh? Didn't Kizaru go?"
Warring States turned to look at Flying Squirrel, his brows furrowed, and he had a vague feeling of something bad.
The flying squirrel said with an extremely serious expression: "Because of the interference of Alvarez's cadres and Pluto Rayleigh, General Porusalino failed to arrest the Straw Hats. Now the Tianlong people are losing their temper. Porusalino The general does not want to have contact with the Tianlong people..."
"Ran?"
Warring States looked stunned.
Garp next to him was also shocked for a moment, and then couldn't help but said: "Hahahaha, Kizaru took action, and he was able to escape. He is indeed Luffy, hahahaha!"
"Garp!!"
Warring States looked at Garp angrily and roared: "You can still laugh! Do you know what a bad incident it was when your bastard grandson beat up the Tianlong people? Now that he has escaped, you, the bastard, will have to take responsibility. !!”
"Hahahaha, how can I, an old man like me, bear such a big responsibility?" Garp suddenly lost his previous dull state and grinned.
I originally thought that Ace had been caught and Luffy would be caught as well, but Luffy actually ran away, and his dull mood suddenly felt much better.
Even Garp secretly said in his heart that the fight was good. He had always regarded the Tianlong people as a bunch of garbage and didn't want to pay attention to them at all. He stood here, not on the side of the Tianlong people, but on the side of the navy and justice. position.
This world needs order, and he is the maintainer of order, not a lackey of the Celestial Dragons.
Warring States stood up angrily and slapped the table, but Garp's rogue appearance made him so angry that he couldn't speak for a while. He gritted his teeth for a while, then suddenly thought of something, turned to look at the flying squirrel, and said: " Alvarez’s cadres, how dare they show up?!”
