Ignite the fire from the pirates

But before he could open his mouth, Borsalino explained the situation on his side, and that his return to Marinford to perform his duties would need to be postponed for a few hours.

The giant mechanical soldier was eventually taken away by Kevin, but Vinsmoke Judge's role still exists. The Five Elders are also worried that the guy who has been coming and going freely will make a comeback, so Saint Satan will go to the new research institute in person.

As for the navy, it was left to Borsalino to handle.

It is obvious that the Five Elders have put aside their arrogance and become much more cautious.

Even Borsalino, who had always done his job conscientiously, was no longer fully trusted by them.

After Borsalino told the story, Zhan Guo was silent for a long time.

"Let's come back first, take those navy officers through the special passage and return to Marinford first."

After hanging up the Den Den Mushi, Sengoku thought for a while and contacted Crane.

He, who was promoted to general and is now chief of staff, is also at the headquarters.

After some further consideration, Sengoku found another Den Den Mushi and contacted the youth training camp to ask Zephyr to come as well.

Among the four people of the older generation, there is only one bastard, who might still be basking in the sun and teasing his grandchildren in the East China Sea.

"asshole."

When he thought of this, Zhan Guo was so angry that his teeth were itching, but it would be useless even if that old bastard came back, he would just make noise.

After a while, Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Tsuru and Zefa arrived. The three of them were old acquaintances. After sitting down, Zhan Guo began to narrate the events he had just learned.

During the whole process, the two people opposite each other did not say a word.

Until the end, all three of them were silent.

Time passes minute by minute...

Finally, Vice Admiral Tsuru spoke up: "Regarding the intelligence on the Revolutionary Army, the most important one for us... should be Bartnomie, whose identity has been confirmed, right?"

These words made Zefa look up and look over from behind his sunglasses.

He ignored the surprise of his old friend and continued, "He is the head of the naval branch base in West Hellas Gap Town, and he is also the one who recruited Kevin into the navy... If this information is handed over, then..."

Zhan Guo knew what Crane meant.

The mood in the World Government is so tense that if there is even the slightest suspicion, Kevin's promotion to general will probably be put on hold.

At this time, Zefa spoke up: "So we are going to lose an admiral-level combat force just because of a so-called suspicion? Zhan Guo, you should know Kevin's reputation in the navy now, right?"

Zhan Guo remained silent.

But in his heart, he felt a little relieved.

If there is one senior figure in the entire navy who is most likely to make a decision in a rage, it would be Zephyr.

When his family was killed, he went from not killing to hating. The implementation of the Shichibukai system gave pirates the legal right to plunder.

These two points are inducements.

In addition, the accident caused by Bartnomi in the Sabaody Archipelago was also caused by Zephyr who found Marshal Kong...

Thinking of this, Zhan Guo's expression suddenly paused.

He thought back to his previous phone call with Kevin, in which the young man's stance seemed unclear again.

How much power is needed to eliminate pirates? And how much power is needed to make the world a better place?

This rhetorical question reveals a kind of irony towards the current system...

Raising his head slightly, Zhan Guo and He's eyes met.

Vice Admiral Tsuru said, "My suggestion is to conceal the information about Bartnom. Since this matter was not filed with the Intelligence Department at the very beginning, it can be kept secret."

Zhan Guo nodded in agreement.

Then, Zefa looked at the two of them and stood up directly: "Since everything is fine, I will go back to the youth training camp. The new highest combat power of the navy has been promoted, and I, an admiral who is not worthy of the title, will only serve as the chief instructor of the youth training camp."

Without waiting for the two to say anything, Zefa opened the door and left Zhan Guo's office.

He knew that he didn't need to listen in on the conversation between the two, and since Bartnomi and Kevin were fine, he didn't want to stay and listen to something that would make him unhappy.

A while after Zefa left...

Crane said, "Rosinante has taken over the position of the previous generation of Heart Corazon, and the establishment of SWORD is ready, but..."

The words were not finished, but Zhan Guo knew what was coming next.

SWORD: Navy Headquarters Secret Special Forces.

The formation of this force was fundamentally to stagger the subordination to the World Government. It was also part of the future planning of the older generation of navy.

But relatively...

The navy in SWORD does not have a naval identity. They can declare war on the Four Emperors of Pirates, but whether they succeed or fail, the navy will not recognize their identities, let alone use it to seek revenge.

Rocinante is the adopted son of Sengoku, a middleman who is currently very active in the underground world, and the blood brother of Don Quixote Doflamingo.

Going undercover in the Don Quixote family will be the future mission of SWORD, which will be established later.

"You and I should know this very well. The navy under the World Government cannot completely eliminate pirates."

Zhan Guo paused and said, "Before this, a kid asked me, how much power do I need to completely eliminate pirates, and how much power do I need to make the world a better place?"

good?

Vice Admiral Tsuru's eyes were a little dazed for a moment.

How can such a world become a better place?

What a power...

Yes, only people like Marijoa who have the power to rule the world can change the world.

But is this... possible?

Crane sighed, "Not long ago? The general was performing his duties and there were talks about power... Kevin? If it was him, then this brat's position is too dangerous."

Sengoku did not answer, but instead mentioned the conversation he had just had with Borsalino.

"Coming from Marijoa, a huge shadow above the clouds of Punk Hazard. Borsalino made it clear that although he didn't know why, even with the power and speed of the Pierce Fruit, his Observation Haki kept reminding him to flee."

Hearing this, He gradually tightened his crossed hands and looked solemn.

"The weapon that destroyed the Valley of the Gods? If even this weapon was deployed, then why were those five people on Mary Geoise so furious?"

Without needing Sengoku to answer, Lieutenant Tsuru continued, "There is only one possibility. Even with that weapon that can destroy the island in one blow, it still cannot keep that person. In this case, the importance of the Revolutionary Army in their eyes has completely changed."

Zhan Guo exhaled, stood up and looked out the office window.

Both of them were silent for a long time.

"crane."

"Isn't this what the navy should be like? Isn't this the opposite of what we imagined when we joined the navy?"

Crane replied: "This is already the limit. The fact that they are still in the dark proves that they are not ready yet. Garp's son is not a fool, and neither is that old man."

"Isn't the idea of ​​SWORD to be a true navy for the next generation?"

SWORD……

It seems that I haven’t been in contact with Xiaomiguo for a long time, the child’s surname, and the so-called Don Quixote family.

Zhan Guo was a little dazed for a moment.

Kevin, who was originally being discussed by the two, was now tacitly not mentioned again.

That irony about how much power there is at this time involves many issues of stance, and stance is very sensitive to the Five Elders.

Vice Admiral Tsuru standing by was also distracted.

Tina, who was under her command before, changed after she followed Kevin to the G5 branch.

Now, basically every time I make a call, everything goes normally.

So in her guess, although it was only one sentence, the sense of déjà vu of Kevin's position being peeled off again was too strong.

"Has Sakaski been appeased?"

A random sentence breaks the thoughts in your mind.

Zhan Guo turned around and replied, "No consolation. The brat said he would come back to deal with it, and this was also a test given to him by the Five Elders to see if the teeth of the loyal dog who they considered to be a good dog were sharp."

Crane sighed, "Absolute justice... Looks like there will be a fight here at headquarters when the Admiral takes up his duties. It will probably be on a deserted island."

"of course."

Zhan Guo rubbed his head and thought that a fight between the two was inevitable.

……

Chapter 203: Four-Day Battle

On the G5 branch's warship, Kevin and Tina had already crossed the Red Earth Continent and were heading towards the Navy Headquarters.

At this moment, Kevin has returned to his original form and is still eating and drinking.

On the deck, the food prepared for this voyage was quickly consumed. Tina's eyes twitched: "We are almost at the headquarters. Are you hungry, Mr. Vice Admiral?"

Kevin looked up and glanced at her, then swallowed the meat in his mouth and replied, "Do you think you can return to the headquarters to perform your duties peacefully this time?"

Tina asked in confusion: "Will there be any problem with the process of being promoted to admiral? But that's the headquarters, no pirate would be so unwise, right?"

Tina took out a cigarette and lit it, blowing out a puff of smoke: "Unless... it's Vice Admiral Sakaski? The original unspoken candidate for the admiral within the navy was, like Vice Admiral Borsalino and Vice Admiral Kuzan, both of whom have natural disaster devil fruits."

Kevin swallowed the last piece of bone-in meat and said with a smile: "Are you smarter now, Tina? The grudge between Sakaski and me is not just a new one..."

This made Tina look over.

At the same time, because Kevin did not lower his voice, the G5 branch navy who accompanied him also looked over.

"In the battle between him and BiGMOM in the Wan Guo Sea, Vice Admiral Kuzan and I actually arrived when BiGMOM was chasing him, but by that time the warship had already been destroyed by BiGMOM, and no one survived."

Kevin drank a glass of wine and continued, "Absolute justice prevents him from bowing to BiGMOM. In fact, his actions were not too wrong."

Tina was stunned when she heard this: "But according to the New Times, it was Vice Admiral Sakaski's provocation that made BiGMOM take action... As a candidate admiral, he can naturally fight against him until reinforcements arrive, but the navy under his command will be easily killed."

Kevin replied, "The New Times only analyzed the results from a perspective that is favorable to them, Tina."

Ok?

This not only gave Tina a glimmer of enlightenment, but also most of the undercover agents of the Revolutionary Army near the deck were also stunned at this moment.

"What is BiGMOM's purpose? Because of the plan of using the Four Emperors as bait, the young people who poured into the New World kept trying to challenge their authority. During that time, the BiGMOM Pirates, the Beasts Pirates, and the Whitebeard Pirates were all troubled by them."

Kevin glanced at the revolutionary army wearing navy vests around him and said, "The name Wan Guo is BiGMOM's dream. She wants a country with all the races in the world. Do you think BiGMOM is in a bad mood during the recent chaos?"

"Sakaski just ran into a gun. As one of the future top forces of the Navy, BiGMOM knows he can't be killed no matter how crazy he is. That would be the same as declaring war on the Navy."

"In this situation, if you want to vent your anger and give the navy a warning, then naturally the navy on that warship will become a good target."

"Even if Kuzan and I didn't show up in the end, she still wouldn't kill Sakaski. There's no doubt about that."

Tina frowned: "So the New Era newspaper has started to carry private goods?"

"Hahahaha!"

Kevin laughed: "The New Era is the mouthpiece of the Revolutionary Army, and the World Economic News is the mouthpiece of the World Government. If you understand these two points, many things will become clear."

"And I tell you this because I hope you can think clearly about your own position and the direction of your will, and use this as a basis to look at the so-called major events."

Kevin looked at the navy around him and said, "Of course, the same goes for you. It's not enough to just follow what others say. Wisdom and thought are the biggest difference between humans and beasts. We must learn to distinguish them."

After the words were spoken, the deck fell silent.

Kevin poured out the last of the wine in the barrel and drank some. After a burp, he cleaned the table himself.

He could clearly see that several sailors looked at each other and then went to the other side of the deck as if nothing had happened.

The liberation of thought does not mean blindly following what the revolutionary army says, nor does it mean worshipping a certain person as a god.

Learning to think and learning to distinguish right from wrong is the true liberation of thought.

At present, the revolutionary army is still a long way from overthrowing the world and rebuilding order, but Kevin doesn't mind sowing the seeds now.

Sometimes it is unavoidable that the dragon slayer becomes the new evil dragon. But as long as everyone learns to think and distinguish right from wrong, their minds will be truly liberated.

Then even if a new evil dragon appears, it will be overwhelmed by the will of the people.
