Who told him to become the Pirate King!

Chapter 345 Building a base is nowhere as fast as seizing one.

Looking at Yixiao's bewildered reaction.

Zephyr was so embarrassed he was practically digging a dungeon out of his toes on Punk Hazard!

He didn't know how things had gotten to this point...

When Mingzaffa entered the New World, he only thought about using a single naval warship as a base to gradually develop and strengthen the naval guerrilla force.

If Storm could provide some support to the naval guerrillas, that would be ideal.

What Zefa never expected was that the support Storm provided was just too strong!

Absolutely the absolute best!

The naval guerrilla force—or rather, the newly established navy.

The naval marshal, the marshal candidate, and the three admirals are all in place.

On the contrary, the conditions that should least be lacking—"naval bases," "mid-level elite troops," and "junior marines"—are missing.

It's more than just outrageous.

This is absolutely outrageous!

Even a smile can make you numb.

The new navy has nothing but one ship?

This truly is the "new navy".

Instead of the "Justice Pirates" that are called the "New Navy"?

Do not!

Many pirates aren't even this poor!

"Ah——————·That————"

He stammered and hesitated for a long time before finally managing to squeeze out a complete sentence.

"So, will the new navy be based in Whole Cake Island?"

Is the new navy going to share territory with the "White Dragon Emperor"?

This kind of thing... isn't it a bit inappropriate?

Yixiao's feelings were quite conflicted.

He had just thought the new navy had a very bright future.

But now he feels that the future of the new navy is as dark as his "vision".

At this moment, Aokiji and Kizaru, who had been pretending to be invisible, also looked at Storm and Zephyr.

Both of them could be considered to have been forcibly recruited into the new navy.

Neither Aokiji nor Kizaru knew the direction in which the new navy would develop.

Now they just hope that Zefa and Storm can answer this question before they say anything else.

A new navy without a base, but with marshals and admirals in name only —

That's absolutely hilarious!

Storm didn't speak for the moment, but just looked at Zefa.

Zefa sighed and said with a helpless expression.

"In fact, I did develop quite a few plans for the naval guerrilla force."

This is true.

Zephyr had the idea of a "naval guerrilla force" a long time ago.

While he was in the elite naval recruit training camp, he would also dedicate some of his spare time to planning the development of the naval guerrilla force.

But there's an old saying that goes something like this.

Plans can't keep up with changes.

Zefa's plan was aimed at the "Naval Guerrilla".

What about the naval guerrillas?

Apart from Zefa, there are only a few cats and kittens, and they don't need to spend much resources to develop.

But things are different now.

The "naval guerrillas" have transformed into the "new navy".

More importantly...

The new navy's high command has been fully established.

In this way.

The plans that Zephyr had previously devised were no longer suitable for the new navy.

We can't possibly have four "Admiral-level fighters" like Zephyr, Kizaru, Fujitora, and Aokiji crammed onto one warship to work, can we?

Not to mention whether people can handle it.

The warships definitely couldn't withstand it!

"This is due to my oversight."

Zefa admitted his mistake and did not shift the blame to Storm.

"I will formulate a new naval development plan as soon as possible!"

"However, one thing is certain: the new navy will definitely not establish its 'headquarters' in Whole Cake Island!"

Honestly.

The problems with the new naval headquarters were mainly caused by Storm.

He brought in three admirals in one go, along with the support of his own Mohe forces, which practically gave the development of the new navy a rocket booster.

But Zefa didn't shirk responsibility; instead, he took the blame for Storm.

"Hey! Would you like to hear my thoughts?"

Storm coughed lightly and spoke first.

"Actually, I also think that Wan Guo is not very suitable as the headquarters of the new navy."

World Kingdom is now Storm's territory.

It used to be the territory of the Big Mom Pirates.

The archipelago is quite large, but it is indeed very unsuitable as the headquarters of a new navy.

Leaving aside vague issues such as "pirate territory" and "reputation influence,"

The fundamental problem is that Whole Cake Island now includes the Dawn Pirates, the Storm Pirates, the Golden Emperor, and the Queen of the Pleasure District.

World Economic News and other forces.

It's so "crowded" here.

The prospects for the new navy are clear.

The new navy's influence will only grow larger.

The world simply cannot accommodate another "new navy".

but.

Storm unveiled his pre-planned strategy.

"Zeff-sensei, Admiral Aokiji, Kizaru, Issho, what do you guys think of 'Marineford'?"

Naval Headquarters, Marineford, the hometown of Storm.

"Marineford is certainly very good—"

Zefa nodded subconsciously, but his gaze inadvertently fell on the ground beneath his feet, and he suddenly shuddered.

"Stromb! You're not thinking of moving Marineford from Paradise to the New World, are you!?"

Zephyr and his companions are currently standing on Punk Hazard Island.

This island was "snatched" from the World Government by Storm!

Zephyr was highly suspicious of Storm's intentions and motives in bringing up Marineford at this time.

This kid has a criminal record!

But if Storm really does have feelings for Marineford...

Does this mean that the new navy is about to engage in a final showdown with the old navy as soon as it is established?

Zefa thought the idea was far too radical.

Aokiji, Kizaru, and Fujitora also noticed Zephyr's subtle movements and reacted quickly.

"Moving around Marineford or something—isn't that a bit of an exaggeration?"

"But Storm really does have the ability to do it~"

"Vongola, you're too radical!"

The three admirals of the new navy all offered their comments.

Storm was speechless.

"Wait! I haven't said anything yet! Why do you all think I'm going to move out of Marineford?"

"Isn't this what you meant?"

Zefa looked at Storm strangely.

"Didn't you really think about it?"

"No, that's not it—"

Storm shook his head and confessed.

"However, there are too many problems in doing this, because Mary Geoise is right above Marineford."

"I'm not confident I can move Marineford intact—"

If Storm really goes to attack Marineford.

Mary Geoise will definitely receive the news immediately.

In that situation.

Storm's "Naval Headquarters relocation plan" will certainly be severely affected.

Destruction is always easier than construction.

Aokiji scratched his head. "You actually thought about it?"

Kizaru grinned, "As expected of Storm~"

"alright!"

Zefa interrupted the duo of green and yellow and looked at Storm.

"Storm, what was your purpose in bringing up Marineford just now?"

"Of course, it's just a way to get the ball rolling!"

Storm shrugged and said calmly.

"Marineford's infrastructure is excellent, but the G1 branch, which is just 'separated by a wall,' seems to have similar infrastructure, doesn't it?"

Below the Holy Land of Mary Geoise, near the Paradise side is Marineford, and near the New World is Branch G1.

In fact.

After the future Marineford War ends.

When Akainu became Fleet Admiral, he moved the Marine Headquarters from Marineford to the G1 branch.

The original G1 branch was moved to Marineford.

and so.

Storm thought it was a great idea to move the G1 branch out ahead of time!

Anyway, it will become the Navy Headquarters in the future.

Storm simply saved the G1 branch from taking a few years of detours.

He's so kind-hearted!

Yixiao didn't know much about the G1 branch.

But Zephyr, Kizaru, and Aokiji were well aware of the importance of the G1 branch.

Due to its unique geographical location, the G1 branch is actually guarding the entrance for pirates to enter the New World!

The strategic position of the G1 branch is very special and important.

Zephyr frowned. "Stromb, you plan to have the new navy—well, 'occupy' the G1 branch?"

When he said this, Zefa felt a little strange.

"No, it's not 'occupying,' it's 'moving'!"

Storm pointed to the Punk Hazard island beneath his feet.

"Just like moving Pangaea, I plan to move the G1 branch from beneath the Red Line!"

Storm had no intention of sending the new navy to occupy the G1 branch.

Because the geographical location of the G1 branch is too special.

Right under the nose of the real Mary Geoise!

To know.

The World Government also possesses a weapon of mass destruction on the level of Uranus, capable of easily sinking an island.

The G1 branch is located almost directly below Mary Geoise.

If the World Government really wanted to do something to the G1 branch, it couldn't be easier.

If Storm really sends the new navy to guard the G1 branch.

What if, one day in the future, the World Government suddenly flips the table, points the cannon of Uranus at G1, and sinks this "new Marine Headquarters" with a single shot?

The new navy has nowhere to turn to cry!

and so.

Storm plans to move the G1 branch!

All we need to do is move the G1 branch away from its original location and bring it deep into the New World, temporarily away from the attack range of [Uranus].

"I have no doubt that you can do that—"

Zefa rubbed his forehead and said.

"But, taking over the G1 branch—it just feels too crazy!"

"And even if you move the G1 branch, where are you going to put it?"

The location of the naval headquarters was carefully considered.

Guarding the Grand Line and suppressing mad pirates—these are just superficial reasons.

The core consideration is "protecting Mary Geoise"!

The new navy does not need to consider this issue.

However, choosing the location for the new navy's headquarters is also a complex matter.

Storm smiled slightly and presented the solution he had considered in advance.

"How's the G5 branch?"

The G5 branch is located in the mid-sea area of the New World, near the Kingdom of Dressrosa, and several other member states nearby.
