One Piece: The Beginning Top War

"Okay, that's it for this impromptu meeting. If everyone has nothing else to do, please disperse."

...

In a short time, there were only four people left in the conference room of Nuoda.

The senior trio of Kapuhe and the general Aokiji from the Warring States Period.

"Thank you for your support." Looking at the people in front of him, Qingzhi sincerely thanked them.

Of course, he knew what the identity of the person in charge of this recruitment event meant. Having this identity meant that he had first-hand access to various talents entering the navy.

Although he is only one step ahead, if he grasps it well, it can win a lot of people's hearts. In addition, he is already more prestigious than Akainu. In this way, there will definitely be more people supporting him in the naval force than Akainu. When the time comes, he will win the title of Marshal.

You will be more confident about your job.

Facing Qingzhi's thanks, Warring States waved his hand. Of course he knew what Qingzhi was thinking.

"Aoji, you have to understand that I am not helping you but the navy. Compared to Akainu, you are more prudent and have a calmer temper. The navy is now at a critical moment of rapid development and there is no room for mistakes. You are more suitable than him.

That’s why I will help you.”

"But you must also understand that Akainu also has advantages. He is more decisive than you. In some aspects, he has more credit and contributions than you." When Sengoku spoke, he deliberately emphasized certain two words to attract Aokiji's attention.

"Although you have our support, Akainu has the support of the people above. No one knows what will happen before the final result comes out. At this time, we cannot be careless. Do you understand?"

"I understand, Marshal." Qingzhi kept the reminder of Warring States in mind and did not ignore his words because of his upcoming departure.

"Marshal, I have a question that I don't know whether to answer or not."

"Just say it."

"I want to know what the current attitude of the Navy or the World Government is towards Blackbeard and the Blackbeard Pirates."

Others may not have noticed, but Aokiji did. When Sengoku speculated on Katie's ability, he heard Blackbeard's name from Sengoku's mouth.

This is not common. You must know that although the Warring States Period was kind, it would never tolerate criminals, so Aokiji was very confused about what happened in the middle.

Faced with Qing Pheasant's question, Warring States' expression became obviously abnormal, and he remained silent for a moment before speaking.

"The Five Old Stars ordered that Blackbeard Shichibukai retain his identity, so he is still on our side now."

"Why? You must know that he violated the regulations and took the lead in attacking Impel Down. We have every reason to revoke his Shichibukai status!"

Aokiji never expected that the superiors' decision on Blackbeard would be like this. He really couldn't accept this result.

"There are two reasons. First: the Five Old Stars think they can use Blackbeard to restrict Whitebeard. Second: because of the existence of Blackbeard's subordinate Shiliu, we can accurately judge what kind of abilities Katie has."

"But, but..."

Just when Qingzhi was about to continue to refute, Warring States stretched out his hand to interrupt him.

"Qingzhi, I can explain to you this time, and I can explain it to you next time. But there will be a time when I'm not around. What will you do then? Go to Wulao Xing to ask for an explanation?"

Sengoku's two questions made Qingzhi fall into silence. He didn't know how to answer the other party.

"This is where you are inferior to Akainu. You are not a scholar but a soldier. You should ask less and do more."

"In order to protect justice, sometimes we have to tolerate evil. If you want to wear the crown, you must first bear its weight. There is not much time left for you. I hope you will be mentally prepared by then."

"If it's nothing, you should go back first. There are still many unresolved issues regarding the conscription."

"Yes, Marshal."

Although there was still something to say, the result of the battle had been an eviction order, and Aoki Pheasant had no choice but to leave.

"Sengoku, are you going too far in saying that? Aokiji also cares about the navy, and there is nothing wrong with that."

Seeing his proud disciple being treated as nothing, Garp naturally wanted to fight for the injustice of Qing Pheasant.

"Asshole, you still have the nerve to say that, do you know how many times I have been scolded by Wulaoxing because of you? I didn't learn how Qingzhi is like this from you. If you have the ability, you can train him to be as strong as you.

At that time, the position of marshal will naturally belong to him!"

"Kuhaha, Aokiji didn't learn from me. He is this kind of person, and he is now an admiral. What else do you want from me? That step is not easy to break through. You are still stuck there now.

.”

He didn't pay any attention to what Sengoku said, and even mocked Sengoku in the end.

Looking at the noisy two people, He shook his head helplessly. He had been arguing for decades and didn't feel annoyed. However, she didn't realize that she didn't feel annoyed even after listening to their arguments for decades.

...

"Boss Katie, do you really want to leave so soon? With your strength, you can definitely follow us to explore the new world. The first half of the Grand Route is not difficult for you at all."

Seeing Katie who was ready to leave, Ace made the final effort to stay. He and Katie had dueled several times in the past two days. Although they all ended in failure, Ace felt that the barrier in front of him was getting stronger.

The relationship is getting thinner and thinner, and there is a possibility of breaking through at any time. In addition, the two of them have become good drinking buddies, and they feel like they have met each other so late, so Ace is very reluctant to leave Katie.

"Ace, I'm leaving too, why don't you keep me here!"

However, before Katie could say anything, Luffy, who was leaving with Katie, was unwilling to do so.

"Who wants to keep you? What else can you do besides causing trouble?"

"Ace, I'm angry! I will definitely surpass you next time we meet!"

Facing Ace's exposure, Luffy turned away angrily and ignored Ace.

"Although New World is exciting, there are also many interesting things in the first half. It would be a pity not to finish it."

"Everyone, wait for me. I will go to the New World to find you in two years at most. Then I will treat you to a drink!"

Although she was reluctant to leave, Katie still decided to leave. If she stayed with the Whitebeard Pirates, she would not be able to improve her strength. She left today just for a better reunion tomorrow, so Katie didn't feel bad.

"Kid, remember to be careful of the navy's revenge. You are my only nephew, so don't die."

Whitebeard didn't stop Katie from leaving. He knew he couldn't stop it, but the tears looming in the corners of his eyes showed that he was not as calm inside as he looked on the outside.

"Hey, don't worry, old man, the person who can take my life hasn't been born yet."

"Goodbye everyone!"

Waving goodbye to the Whitebeard Pirates, the boat at Katie's feet slowly left.

"Luffy, goodbye, remember to take care of yourself!"

When the separation really came, the tough-talking Ace couldn't help but tell Luffy to be careful, but Luffy kept turning his back to Aisley and ignored him as if he was really angry.

However, Katie, who was standing next to Luffy, could clearly see that his shoulders were shaking, which was an uncontrollable trembling.

Katie knew that Luffy was crying. He was reluctant to leave Ace, but he had to leave. He really wanted to go back and say goodbye to Ace, but he didn't want Ace to see his weak side. He was afraid, he was afraid that he would see it.

You won't have the courage to leave after arriving in Ace.
