Zhan Guo couldn't understand Ian's intentions anymore, so he had to say to Taotu: "Okay, I understand, I will deal with this matter, you go back to the team first!"
However, Lieutenant General Momotu stood at attention and saluted: "Marshal of the Warring States Period, I apply to be transferred to the Aitwall sea area to participate in this battle!"
"Huh!?" Zhan Guo was taken aback, and said, "Why?"
"This is my first mission failure!" Taotu said unwillingly: "And the defeat was so easy, Ian escaped in my hands, so it is necessary for me to catch him back with my own hands, since I guess he has May intervene in this war, then I plan to go to the battlefield and wait for him to appear!"
When Zhan Guo heard it, he immediately understood.
Because Lieutenant General Momotu is from a famous family in the navy, and her own strength is quite strong, it has always been smooth sailing. Even her road to promotion has never encountered any ups and downs. It was the first setback in her life, and she failed so thoroughly, of course she would feel unwilling.
If it were someone else who had such a request, Zhan Guo might have agreed immediately, but for Lieutenant General Taotu, he had to think carefully.
The war with the Whitebeard Pirates is definitely a big battle. Let alone the navy, even the other four emperors seem to be on the verge of making a move. Sengoku doesn't know what risks will arise on the battlefield at that time. If Momotu makes any mistakes in it, he won't be able to explain it to the Steel Bone Kong commander!
So after thinking about it, Warring States had no choice but to refuse: "No need, the defense of the Navy headquarters is also very empty now, you stay here and strengthen the defense of the headquarters. You know, in the small town behind Marin Fando, there is a They are all relatives of the navy, and they are the spiritual sustenance of the soldiers who are fighting abroad, so there must be no accidents!"
For the reason of the Warring States Period, although he knew it was an excuse, Momotu couldn't object at all, so he had no choice but to agree.
However, just as Momotu was about to leave, he suddenly heard a noise coming from outside.
I poked my head out of the window to take a look, only to find that outside the gate of the base, at some point, a large number of reporters had poured in!
The navy soldiers were blocking them outside. Although these reporters didn't dare to force their way in, they caught the navy soldiers asking questions desperately. There were too many people and their voices were very loud, so Taotu couldn't hear them here. I knew exactly what they were asking, and I could only see those navy soldiers sweating profusely and looking nervous.
"What's going on!?" Zhan Guo also got up and went to the window to have a look.
Fortunately, soon a lieutenant commander of the Navy came in to report out of breath. However, the news he brought was not good for Warring States.
"Your Excellency, Marshal! It's not good!" The lieutenant commander said in horror, "I don't know what happened, but the reporters found out about the fall of Jinjin City Prison. Now the reporters outside the base are all here to cover this matter. This event, and more reporters seem to be on the way…”
"What!?" Zhan Guo couldn't help but thumped the wall, and shouted, "What's going on!? Who spread the word!? Do you still have any sense of secrecy!?"
The Jinjin City Prison was robbed, and the prisoners rioted and escaped. The navy must conceal such a big event, otherwise it will cause panic among ordinary people when it is spread out! You know, all the well-known pirates and criminals are locked up there. Only when they are locked up can people gain a sense of security...
But now it's better, I don't know which link has been negligent, and the incident that led to the city's riots was leaked.
At this time, the Warring States was so angry that he couldn't help losing his temper.
After he calmed down, he thought about how to deal with the aftermath of this matter. He walked back to the desk to pay, sat down on the chair, closed his eyes and thought for a while, then looked at Lieutenant General Taotu and said to her Said: "Gion, go out and deal with these reporters and tell them that the incident in Jincheng City is true!"
"Huh!?" Tao Tutu looked at Zhan Guo in amazement, not understanding why he would do this.
Zhan Guo rubbed his brows, and said with a headache: "This matter cannot be concealed. Now that it has been leaked, let's just make it public. If it is hidden, it will cause even greater panic. , it’s better to push all this matter on Ian’s head, just take this opportunity to release the matter of depriving Ian Qibukai of the title!”
Yes, when Ian escaped from the Navy Headquarters, although the Navy had already deprived him of the title of Qiwuhai, but at that time, there was no corresponding excuse to announce it to the public. After all, the title of Qiwuhai was given by the world government. Without any conclusive evidence or excuses, it is not easy to deprive a Shichibukai of his identity, otherwise the world will think that the world government has backtracked and lost its prestige.
But now, the Warring States Period has officially announced the evidence, that is, Ian attacked the Jinjin City Prison and led the prisoners to riot. Such a reason, I believe, is enough to convince the world.
Momotu nodded and said: "Then, since the title of Ian Shichibukai is deprived, it means that he will become a wanted criminal again. If the reporter asks, should he still use his original reward order?"
"...No!" Zhan Guo thought for a while, lay back on his chair, and sighed, "If the reporter asks, tell them that the current reward for Black Dragon Ian is... one billion Baileys!"
"Ten... billion!?" Hearing this amount, even Momotu couldn't help but lose his mind for a while.
How long has it been since the last time the navy offered such an amazing reward? Three years or five years
An astonishing reward is not a good thing, which means that the navy has an extra powerful enemy.
It took Momotu a while to come back to his senses, and asked Zhan Guodao worriedly, "Your Excellency, Marshal, do you think Ian will be the next red-haired Shanks?"
"Four emperors?" Warring States thought, shook his head and said, "I don't know either. In fact, I have always suspected that Ian's intervention in this war between the navy and Whitebeard was for the sake of fighting with Whitebeard. relationship, or is he coveting the position of the Whitebeard Four Emperors..."
"Ah!? There is such a possibility!?" Tao Tutu was even more surprised.
"So I think it's best to pray for the former!" Sengoku said with a headache, "If it's the latter, then it's troublesome. Maybe even if the navy defeats Whitebeard, it's just making a wedding dress for Ian..."
"This..." Taotu didn't know what to say.
"Go ahead and explain this to the reporter!" Zhan Guo said helplessly to Tao Tutu: "Also, if the reporter asks about the mastermind of this prison robbery, you should tell them that there are two people, one is Ian , and the other one is the pirate Bucky!"
"Bucky!? Why is that?" Momotu asked puzzled.
"Because the Pirate Bucky was on the ship of the Pirate King Roger!" Sengoku sighed, "We also just found out through our investigation that he is not only one of the crew members of the Pirate King Roger, but also a brother of the red-haired Shanks. ... Then how many prisoners with such profound backgrounds are hidden in the prison of Jinjin City..."
Taotu was stunned by the shocking news one after another. She didn't even figure out how she got out and was surrounded by reporters. She just passively answered the reporters' questions and told her about the Warring States period. revealed.
Looking out of the gate of the base from the window, those reporters who were stunned by Lieutenant General Taotu's narration, Sengoku only felt surrounded by a sense of powerlessness. Yesterday, there was a bad news from Atwall. Blackbeard Tiki, who had just been promoted to Shichibukai, also disappeared under the eyes of a group of marines. He didn't know where he went.
His intuition tells Zhan Guo that there must be some unknown conspiracy behind Tiqi's disappearance...
Now, the Warring States period is really at a loss for the prospect of this war. After this war, I don't know what kind of track the world will lead to...
