Game Merchants Starting from the Ninja World

silence.

The whole world was silent; the air seemed to freeze at that moment.

Sengoku stared blankly at the Death Island, where the smoke and dust had not yet dissipated.

Turning his head to look at the lieutenant general who was constantly analyzing data, he asked, "Didn't you say that there was information sent back by a branch colonel that Death Island is protected by special energy, and its overall strength is several times that of the real world? Can you give me a precise number?"

The vice admiral who had been called out snapped out of his daze, glanced at Death Island with lingering fear, took a deep breath, and said, "The soil, rocks, seawater, building materials, and other materials for Death Island have been purchased by the branch navy and will soon be sent back to the Navy Headquarters."

"No data can serve as a reference standard before the materials are analyzed and studied."

Hearing his ambiguous answer, Sengoku frowned slightly and said, "I don't need standard data on the research materials, just tell me your speculation."

"Nine times."

The lieutenant general answered cautiously.

Nine times?

Zhan Guo took a deep breath, and a fine layer of sweat unconsciously appeared on his palms.

If we extrapolate from this perspective...

The aftershocks of the clash between Hawkeye and Garp were so powerful that they could even cleave the Red Line in two.

A single battle between the two could even alter the map of the One Piece world, uniting the four seas into one.

Even though the Warring States period was already enough to speculate about the mysterious and powerful game merchant, and he felt he had prepared himself mentally, he was still stunned by this news.

Such an open and blatant battle,

Even the Five Elders wouldn't be able to sit still, would they?

"Bring me the naval deployment map!"

Suddenly, Sengoku waved his hand and sent naval soldiers to retrieve the deployment maps of the naval headquarters and branches.

It includes the four major sea areas and the Grand Line.

The deployment map shows all the navy's training grounds, naval bases, stationed naval units, as well as naval-related buildings, facilities, and islands.

"Marshal of the Warring States Period, is it not a good idea to mobilize troops from all over the world now?"

Some lieutenant generals close to the world government raised objections.

They are World Government agents embedded within the Navy Headquarters, used to monitor and better control the Navy's top brass.

For them, all interests must be prioritized by the World Government.

previously,

The Warring States period's demand for military funds, taken in a tough stance, was already pushing the boundaries of what the World Government could tolerate.

Now they actually want to mobilize the navies of the four major branches and the Grand Line without informing the World Government?

Naval Headquarters

It is merely a subordinate organization of the World Government. Although it controls a large army, it is like a general in a kingdom whose technology is still in the ancient era.

All actions must be carried out under the command of the King, who is also the World Government.

He privately mobilized a large number of troops from all over the world.

This has crossed the line for world governments.

"Mobilize the navy?"

Sengoku glanced at their indignant faces with a puzzled look, and explained, "You all misunderstand, I did not intend to mobilize these naval forces."

It's not enough to just mobilize the navy.

The vice admirals on the World Government's side all breathed a sigh of relief.

The Warring States period now is completely different from before, filled with a sense of sharp edges and brilliance.

They didn't want to clash with Fleet Admiral Sengoku unless necessary, since he was, after all, the nominal supreme commander of the navy.

However, what they said next made them feel completely lost.

"I plan to sell some useless naval bases and facilities and convert them into reward points to support the East China Sea."

Chapter 189 Warring States Period: Do you really think I'm made of clay?

"what?"

"Warring States!"

All the admirals present could no longer remain seated and stood up, glaring angrily at the supreme commander of the navy who had uttered those words.

The long-bearded lieutenant general, dressed in a blue-green aristocratic suit, said in a heavy voice, "Sengoku, you actually want to sell off the World Government's assets?"

"Lieutenant General Stolloberi!"

"Remember your place. You are a Marine Headquarters officer, not a Celestial Dragon's dog!"

Sengoku showed no mercy, coldly glancing at the indignant lieutenant general.

He has always been loyal to the World Government, which is able to maintain stability in the world and protect justice and order, not to the Celestial Dragons who are like emperors.

"Without the World Nobles, where would the World Government come from?"

Strawberry retorted sharply, "Warring States period, you're so pedantic!"

As a man loyal to the world's nobles, he could not stand idly by while the admiral committed such a treasonous act.

Even if one is no match for the Warring States period, one must still make one's stance clear.

and,

Given Sengoku's personality, he would never lay a hand on him, as that would be tantamount to completely breaking ties with the Celestial Dragons.

If it were someone like Garp, whose mind is filled with nothing but iron fists, Strawberry certainly wouldn't have acted this way, but he knew Sengoku's temperament all too well.

The smarter a person is,

The more they understand the importance of the world government to the navy.

Without the financial support and logistical backing of the World Government, the larger the armed group like the Navy, which is spread across the four seas, the more likely it is to collapse in an instant.

This is the source of Storobelli's confidence.

suddenly,

The seagull, which had been perched on Sengoku's head and symbolized the will to peace, flapped its wings, seemingly sensing a change in the atmosphere, and took flight.

boom!

A huge dent appeared in the wall of the conference room, with spiderweb-like cracks extending across the entire wall.

The Warring States period was radiating golden light, making him as unapproachable as a Buddha.

He raised his right arm.

Strawberry was choked and pinned to the wall from behind, and was restrained without even a chance to resist.

A transparent shockwave field gradually condensed.

"Marshal of the Warring States Period, stop immediately!"

"Do you want to destroy the headquarters building?"

"Storoberg acted on impulse..."

The other lieutenant generals were terrified and quickly tried to dissuade them.

But these were all just words; no one dared to take action to stop the Great Buddha Marshal, who was now bathed in golden light.

All the generals of the headquarters rushed to the East China Sea, and the general candidates also left in haste.

right now,

Even if the entire Navy Headquarters were to mobilize, it would be impossible to defeat Sengoku at full firepower.

Upon hearing "headquarters building,"

After a slight hesitation, Sengoku withdrew the shockwave and released his grip on Strawberry's throat.

He said expressionlessly, "I have always upheld the justice of the Navy."

The Navy's sense of justice has always been a popular topic.

It is also a symbol that ordinary naval soldiers emulate.

The Admiral and the Fleet Admiral have different concepts of justice, representing different principles and behavioral patterns.

"But actually..."

"Whether it's Kuzan, Sakazuki, Borsalino, Garp and Zephyr, or even me, the Navy's justice is the same."

Ignoring the limp Strawberry, who had been knocked unconscious by a casual blow, he was left sprawled on the ground.

Sengoku slowly returned to his marshal's seat.

Flutter.

The seagulls landed familiarly on his head, as if nothing had happened, and preened their somewhat disheveled tail feathers.

Sengoku glanced around, taking in the expressions of the naval commanders, and said softly, "It's all justice in chains."

Even if it has some degree of autonomy.

Overall, the Navy remains subordinate to the World Government and must obey its management.

But even justice in chains can maintain a semblance of peace.

As long as the ruthless pirates can be eradicated and the majority of civilians can be protected under the order established by the Navy,

Sengoku didn't care even if Garp mocked him every day, or if he became a dog of the Celestial Dragons.

but,

If, because of the world's nobles, even justice in chains cannot be enforced, and the order bound by chains collapses...

There is no need to continue wearing such meaningless shackles.
