If Sengoku doesn't pull back his net soon, I'll become the Pirate King!

Chapter 306 [Navy]

Marine Headquarters, Marineford Island

[Marshal's Office]

There were three people in the room, but the atmosphere was eerily unsettling.

Blu-ray Blu-ray Blu-ray~~

The Den Den Mushi (a type of electric scooter) on the coffee table suddenly woke up and shook its body.

Blu-ray Blu-ray Blu-ray~~

"Answer the phone, Xiaohe," Kong said in a low voice.

With the curtains blocking out the sunlight, everything seemed somewhat decadent.

Snap—

"I am Crane, who is this?"

"Aunt He, it's me, Dorag."

Dorag's voice came through the Den Den Mushi.

"Is the Marshal here?"

He glanced at the marshal, who had lowered his head and buried his face in the shadows.

"You're right here, tell me."

"What's the deal with Project Twilight? Why was the planned surveillance operation cancelled?"

really.

Crane and Sengoku exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with helplessness.

She knew this would happen, but—

"I'm sorry, Dragon, this wasn't our navy's idea. We tried, but..."

"Many things are not up to the marshal or the admiral to decide."

The Den Den Mushi remained silent for a few moments: "I don't blame you, and I believe Twilight won't blame you either."

"But Advisor He————"

The estrangement in their words was obvious.

Whether it was the Warring States period or the crane, the difference in the way they addressed each other was noticeable.

"The Navy has once again disappointed us."

"I don't need to elaborate on who Huang Hun is; he's a general from the Warring States period. Now, do you dare to accept a message from your old home in the South China Sea?"

Zhan Guo did not speak, the shadow hanging down his forehead obscuring most of his face.

"You might as well never go back to the South China Sea again. You personally sent him away, and now, are you planning to personally send him off this world?"

Dragon on the other end of the Den Den Mushi was still young, and his hot-bloodedness hadn't cooled down yet, so he couldn't hold back his anger.

His dearest friend, his dearest friend who fought alone for a peaceful future!

How could things have come to this?

"Enough, Dragon! You're no longer in the Navy; you have no right to lecture me!"

The Warring States period rebuked in a low voice.

"What can I, an old man, decide?!"

"If I could decide everything, I would bring him back right now and hand him the position of general!"

"—He had already guessed this."

The Den Den Mushi suddenly started talking about something else.

"He guessed who was behind it and what role the Navy was playing, which is why he hasn't contacted headquarters yet."

"It's because he knows that even if he tries to contact them, it won't change anything. The Navy is, in the end, just the Celestial Dragons' Navy."

"You'd better take care of yourself."

Snap—

The Den Den Mushi (a type of electric scooter) hangs up.

Zhan Guo sighed, leaned back, and rested the back of his head on the edge of the sofa.

His empty eyes stared at the ceiling.

"This old man truly has no way of deciding anything—"

Bazel was a child he had watched grow up, like the apple of his eye.

However, the Navy could not refuse the strong orders from the Five Elders.

Taking advantage of the grand banquet, the World Government launched an attack and destroyed the Beast Pirates' stronghold.

at the same time.

The Navy Headquarters deployed all its forces, abandoning its overt target—the Whitebeard Pirates.

Instead, they joined the Beasts Pirates, the crew of the great pirate Bazel.

Sengoku didn't know what his dear nephew had done, but it was certainly something that would anger the Five Elders.

Otherwise, there wouldn't have been such an exaggerated bounty and nickname before, nor the current plan.

But he couldn't tell the Five Elders that he was an undercover agent.

Otherwise, the resulting chaos will only be greater.

If that happens, Bazel's life will be in danger, and the Navy will also be implicated.

Moreover, Sengoku had every reason to believe that even if those five people knew that Bazel was an undercover agent, they would definitely pretend not to know.

There is a very high probability that Barzel has violated a taboo.

The Five Elders will absolutely not let Bazel live.

The Den Den Mushi (snail phone) rang again in the room.

The three of them glanced at the coffee table, only to find that the Den Den Mushi was still asleep.

"It's your Den Den Mushi, Sengoku," Tsuru reminded him.

Sengoku took out a Den Den Mushi, his face showing hesitation.

He was terrified that the caller was Bazel's mother.

He didn't know how to explain it.

Snap—

"Sengoku! You bastard!!"

It's Garp!

For some reason, Sengoku suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

"I heard from Dragon that the three of you are planning to abandon that kid!?"

"Let me explain, Garp—"

"What the hell are you listening to!"

The Den Den Mushi angrily cursed, "The Navy ignoring the Celestial Dragons' evil is one thing, but I can tolerate it."

"Now, you three bastards are planning to use your own families to please the Celestial Dragons?!"

"When did the Navy's justice become the Celestial Dragons' justice?!"

"Garp, the Five Elders don't know Twilight's identity."

Zhan Guo covered his face, his voice hoarse.

"We can't tell the Five Elders his identity and mission; that would only cause more chaos."

"At least for now, he still has a chance to survive, since the people in charge of rounding him up are our own people."

"Once the Five Elders find out his identity, he will truly be dead."

"Once his identity is exposed, firstly, he will definitely not be recognized by the World Government, and secondly, he will not be recognized by the pirates."

"Garp, do you want him to drift alone on the high seas, all alone and helpless?!"

The Den Den Mushi had a gloomy expression.

"And Garp, aren't you taking this old man too seriously?"

"I'm just a mere admiral, a mere naval admiral!!"

Bang-!!

The coffee table was smashed to pieces by the man's punch.

Sengoku gritted his teeth, holding the microphone in his left hand, his expression ferocious.

"They all come to criticize me, but if I could make the decision, would they have the right to point fingers at me?!"

"If I had that ability, he wouldn't need to go to sea!!"

"Do you think I'm a heartless creature? I'm human too!"

"My heart is made of flesh and blood too!!!"

"I watched him grow up, and my feelings for him are no less than anyone else's!"

"Do you think I want to see him get into trouble?!"

"Garp!!"

"To save him alone, I'm sacrificing the future of countless marines. I am an admiral, the next Fleet Admiral!"

"Have you considered how the World Government would deal with our navy if I were to protect him?!"

"Do you want to see the day when limited justice disappears!?"

"Answer me, Garp!!!"

After the man finished venting, the Den Den Mushi whispered, "This isn't your justice, Sengoku."

"You who once swore to let justice reign over the seas, when did you become a man who compromises with power?"

The Warring States period did not respond.

"—This is the last mission I will carry out for the Celestial Dragons. After this mission is completed, I will…"

The Den Den Mushi took several deep breaths.

"I'm applying for retirement. I'll stay in Punk Hazard with Zephyr and live a quiet life there."

"If you need any personal assistance, please let me know. I will come back to help when I have time. That's all."

Click!

The Den Den Mushi (a type of electric scooter) hangs up.

As the Warring States period was about to smash down his fist, he discovered that the tea table had already collapsed.

"This is already the best possible outcome, Sengoku, and Garp was just saying it in anger."

The crane is now suffering in silence.

The only thing they can console themselves with now is that Bazeir hasn't called to question them.

"He can understand us; the navy is, after all, just the navy."

Sengoku clenched and unclenched his fist, his expression returning to normal within a few breaths.

"I know, with that kid's intelligence, he must have guessed the whole story."

"His failure to contact us indicates that he is confident in handling this crisis."

"marshal."

He sighed as he felt their gazes fall upon him.

"I'm sorry, Sengoku period."

"I am just as incompetent as you; I am equally incapable of doing anything."

"When the Five Elders summoned me to the Hall of Authority, they gave me no room for discussion, saying that the Navy must go all out for this mission."

"Otherwise, the navy will face the penalty of having 50% of its total military budget deducted."

"It's the entire military budget; the navy can't afford such consequences."

Crane knew everything, of course, but hearing it again, she couldn't help but curse, "Those bastards only know how to cause trouble at times like this. Why don't they just do nothing!"

"Otherwise, according to our plan, the next era will definitely be the era of the navy!"

"Alright, Crane, there's no point in saying all this now."

Zhan Guo stood up and straightened his collar.

"The mission cannot be changed now; we can only adapt to the situation."

"Garp and I will intervene when necessary; that kid won't die in a place like this."

"Marshal, I'll head back now."

Watching the departing figure of the Warring States, Sora sighed again.

"What a terrible day."

"Tsuru, where's Gion?"

He smiled helplessly, "That girl has decided to stay there."

"She said Bazel wouldn't fail; judging by that, she's probably smitten with that kid."

Sora rubbed his stiff face, got up and went to the window, gazing at the distant view of the main island.

"It won't fail!"

"Young people are so passionate. We're all getting old, Xiaohe."

"If I were 30 years younger, no, 20 years younger, I would probably fully support that kid's actions."

The crane rose and stood beside Kong, gazing into the distance.

"This is the limit of what we can do, Marshal."

"The rest depends on his own luck."
