William stood up, looking helplessly at Kizaru, who was almost twice as tall as him.
The average height of people in this world is really outrageous. Even two meters is considered a disability, not to mention that at the age of fifteen, he is currently only about 1.7 meters.
However, William can still grow taller. In the few months since he joined the navy, he has grown from a little kid at the beginning to the handsome young man and navy elite he is today.
There will be height in the future, and as for girls... there will be height too.
William doesn't want to be like the three generals and still be alone until he is fifty or sixty years old. That would be really sad~
"Brother William, can you tell me what exactly happened here?"
Kizaru looked around, and it was obvious that a horrific battle had broken out here.
It's not that Kizaru looks down on William, this kind of battle is definitely not something that William today can participate in.
"Of course, but can the general please contact the marshal? I have important information to report here."
William nodded with a smile. During the time when the golden lion lost consciousness and caused the island to fall, William had already discussed the words with Dasqi and the others.
In other words, it was William who supplemented Dasqi and Kuina's understanding of some of the details of this incident.
Kizaru nodded, and then placed the phone bug in front of William, which surprised William. He did not expect that Kizaru had maintained contact with the headquarters.
"Ensign Reinhardt, I am Admiral Sengoku. Do you have any information you need to report to me?"
Warring States cleared his throat, trying to show himself majestic in front of William.
But William, who knew the details of the Warring States Period, just wanted to laugh. This honest-to-goodness naval marshal was actually the second Garp behind his back.
After he was relieved of the heavy burden of the navy marshal, he had more fun than Garp!
"Marshal, when Cao Dasqi, Kuina and I were inexplicably sent to this island, we met the great pirate [Golden Lion] Shiji. At that time, Shiji was fighting a mysterious man.
Because their strength is beyond our ability to compete with, I chose to hide aside with Dasqi and Kuina to watch the battle."
William first explained that when it happened before, he never thought about saying that he alone defeated the Golden Lion. After all, no one believed this nonsense.
Anyway, according to his plan, the military glory will still fall on his head in the end, so why should he let the bosses of his headquarters have the slightest impression of dissatisfaction with him.
"Mysterious people? William, do you know their identities?"
Warring States nodded, someone else defeated the Golden Lion, that was an acceptable thing.
After all, when the old Golden Lion lost his legs, there is nothing wrong with being defeated by a rising star.
"I know that their conversations during the battle revealed their identities and they are revolutionary troops."
William sold the revolutionary army without hesitation. When they heard that William had met the revolutionary army before, both Sengoku and Kizaru had a solemn expression on their faces.
It's not a good thing to get involved with these people.
"It's strange, why did the Revolutionary Army confront the Golden Lion?"
As a wanted criminal by the World Government, the Revolutionary Army has always acted as cautiously as a mouse. It is unreasonable to suddenly confront the legend of the previous era.
William had long expected that the Warring States Period would be suspicious, so he had already found a reason.
"Listening to the information leaked from the revolutionary army's conversation, it seems that they are looking for something, and this thing happens to be in the hands of the Golden Lion."
"Listen to what they said, it seems to be some kind of ancient weapon, historical text?"
Seeing William's somewhat confused expression, Kizaru curled his fingers slightly, and then Sengoku, who was far away at the Navy Headquarters, was also surprised and knocked over the tea cup in front of him.
"William, are you sure what you heard are ancient weapons and historical texts!"
Warring States' breathing became rapid. If the revolutionary army were to get that thing, the world would be in chaos!
William nodded. The revolutionary army obtained the historical text on the empty island. The historical text recorded the specific information of the ancient weapon Sea King. Is this a lie?
"So that's it. No wonder the Revolutionary Army has acted so strangely during this period. If it was for that thing, they would really take risks and confront the Golden Lion."
Warring States breathed a sigh of relief. Now that he knew that the targets of the revolutionary army were historical texts and ancient weapons, it had nothing to do with William.
After all, William's resume can be said to be clean, even cleaner than some veterans in the navy.
If Sengoku wants to believe that he lied with the revolutionary army to seize ancient weapons, well, it would be more convincing to tell him that Garp's grandson became the Pirate King.
"Put this matter aside for now, how is the golden lion?"
Warring States asked again, since the Golden Lion was defeated, the credit cannot fall on the revolutionary army.
Kizaru naturally understood what Sengoku meant. He fiddled with it, and the phone bug in his hand turned into a video phone bug. William was a little surprised when he saw this, and then thought of the top scientist in the navy. If it came from that one
If it's his handwriting, it's normal.
"So miserable?"
In the marshal's office of the headquarters, looking at the golden lion with its limbs broken, vomiting blood at the mouth, and even its eyes cut open by a knife, Warring States could not imagine that this was the once all-powerful pirate admiral.
Hearing Warring States' voice, the golden lion, who could no longer see it, turned his head. He wanted to say something, but he could only whimper.
He had also heard what William said before. He wanted to ridicule Warring States. Three of the ten sentences this kid said were false, but Warring States, who was known as the "wise general", didn't hear it at all.
Golden Lion, who is very familiar with the navy's urine properties, knows that his bounty will become this kid's stepping stone to the top of the navy.
Thinking that his wise life had ended up like this, the Golden Lion couldn't help but get excited.
"Marshal, when we caught the golden lion before, he kept insulting the navy, the teacher and you, the marshal, so I took it upon myself to pull out his tongue and asked the marshal to punish him."
William raised his eyebrows, and then he quietly kicked the golden lion in front of the phone bug. This action was seen by Warring States, who nodded with even more satisfaction.
Knowing how to protect the navy's face and being strict with pirates, William is indeed his favorite prospect.
"Don't worry, pirates will be severely punished. Our headquarters will only reward them, not punish them."
The Warring States Period had something to say, and he could hear the meaning in William's words.
"We" "caught" the golden lion. The focus of this sentence is not the golden lion, but the two words "we" and "catch".
The golden lion is now in their hands, and the last person to capture the golden lion is the navy. Warring States only needs to know these two points, that's enough.
It seems that William is also a little guy who is on the stage, at least he is much easier to handle than Smoker, that stupid young man.
"William, you need to come to headquarters. After all, we are in the East China Sea and there is no way to change your rank."
