As Zefa said, when he decided to lead the students to withdraw from the Navy Headquarters and fight against the World Government, it was impossible for them to come back.
And as a world government that rules this sea, it is impossible for Zefa and the others to do nothing after they return.
If this is the case, what should other navies do if they follow suit?
You defected without any punishment?!
At that time, what face will the world government have to rule this sea?
Even if Zefa finally expresses his repentance to the World Government, a trip to the World Government's military court is inevitable.
And by then... Zefa may not be punished too much because of his past achievements and status, but the group of students who defected with him may not be so lucky.
Therefore, leaving is indeed the best choice for them!
And Edward Weibull...if Zefa comes back, we won't be able to take action against him.
After all, that is the King Shichibukai who was just elected by the World Government!
It didn't take long. If he was killed by the navy like this, wouldn't it be a slap in the face of the World Government?
certainly
This is what I think as a former old friend.
But if you are the chief inspector of the Navy, you have to say... If Zefa is sacrificed, it will be the best choice for the Navy Headquarters and the World Government!
After all, Zefa’s identity is really special!
So, no surprise…
When Sengoku returned to the navy and before he could breathe a sigh of relief, the ANBU minister who was solely responsible for this operation, Lieutenant General Danzo, came directly to him.
"Why not kill him on the spot?"
Danzo, who had been promoted, seemed to be much more confident. He was no longer as nervous as when he first came to the navy, and looked directly at Sengoku in front of him with a serious face.
"You should know how important his identity is! Especially to the navy, once the navy discovers that he has defected to our enemy, the Country of Grass, how great will be the impact on the navy headquarters?!"
"I know! But I can only say sorry!" Warring States sighed, "The situation at that time was too special. The Country of Grass was over there, and I had to be wary of those crazy people really messing around, and the world
The government has also issued a notice."
Shaking his head, "Now we are not allowed to have any conflict with the Country of Grass, so we couldn't move at all at that time..."
However.
The words are not finished yet.
A cold voice sounded.
"Do you not want to kill, or do you have no chance?"
"?!"
Looking at Lieutenant General Danzo questioning him in front of him, the helpless Sengoku's face suddenly darkened. He slammed the table and said, "Lieutenant General Danzo, are you questioning me?"
"Zefa's identity is too special. He must die for the sake of the Navy Headquarters and the World Government!" As for his current status, as the Minister of Anbu, he is on par with Danzo in the Warring States period to a certain extent. This
However, he did not give in at all and continued to speak seriously.
"According to my speculation at the time, if General Kuzan, who was hiding in the Land of Grass, took the opportunity to take action, you would have a very good chance of killing Zefa..."
only.
This time it was Danzo's turn and he didn't finish.
Sengoku interrupted Danzo directly, still looking at Danzo with a gloomy face, "You should know that Kuzan has other tasks!"
"His lurking is so obvious! I believe you also know... The Country of Grass has already guessed his identity."
Facing Sengoku, whose tone became more gloomy, Danzo still showed no fear at all, and said calmly, "If it weren't for the conspiracy of the Country of Grass, I now doubt whether General Nakuzan really defected to the Country of Grass.
!”
"That's enough! Admiral Kuzan will not betray the Navy Headquarters easily!" Sengoku slammed the table and looked at Danzo in front of him, "As righteous partners, we should not question our comrades.
of!"
"Then...at this critical moment, as a member of the navy, it should be his turn to sacrifice!"
"Lieutenant General Danzo!" After hearing Danzo's gloomy words, Sengoku's eyes narrowed again, and with a heavy tone, the word "sacrifice" is not so easy to say, not to mention that General Kuzan once was
Zefa handed it over! You shouldn't have said such words!"
"I'm doing this all for the world government!"
"Then you should believe in Kuzan even more, just like I believe in him!"
"No! I believe in my judgment about the Country of Grass even more! Those guys are definitely more terrifying than you and I imagined! What's more, if you really believe in him, you should give the order for him to take action, and then directly kill
The name of killing the admiral and the chief instructor of the navy is held on the head of Kusanagi! Instead of leaving a hidden danger to the navy headquarters as it is now!"
"Shut up, I will take charge of this matter and explain it to the World Government myself!" Sengoku's face looked a little ugly, but he still took a deep breath and looked at Lieutenant General Danzo in front of him who seemed to be exuding a strange aura.
, "Also, Lieutenant General Danzo, I am the person in charge of the anti-grass campaign!"
The words fell.
"..."
After hearing what Sengoku said, Danzo immediately fell silent for some reason, but looking at the serious face of Sengoku in front of him, he also understood that... now was not the time for him to have a real stalemate with the navy veteran.
After letting out a long sigh, he said calmly, "You will regret it!"
As he said that, he walked outside step by step on crutches!
Until... he closed the door smoothly, but did not leave directly.
Instead, he stopped outside the door, frowning slightly, as if he was thinking about something.
At this time.
The three of Hiruzen, who had been inseparable since they came to the navy, saw Danzo in this state, and walked up curiously, asking, "How is it? With this expression... Could it be that there is something big going on in the Land of Grass?"
"
The words fell.
After hearing Hiruzen's words, Danzo came back to his senses. Looking at Hiruzen sitting next to him in a wheelchair, his eyes flashed with a hint of complexity before he shook his head, "Not yet! It's just..."
He sighed, with a hint of emotion in his eyes.
"Looks like our plans have to change again!"
believe?
That’s because you don’t know the horror of the Country of Grass!
If this continues... Even if the navy headquarters is full of thieves tomorrow, he won't doubt it!
"Warring States, Garp, Zefa..."
A trace of melancholy flashed past!
This is all for the world government!]
…
And the other side.
After Lieutenant General Danzo left, Sengoku sighed helplessly, shook his head, and then his face was also filled with sadness.
Don’t trust anyone?!
Is this the so-called person who carries darkness?
certainly
He was not angry at Lieutenant General Danzo.
After all, he also knew that Vice Admiral Danzo was really good for the Navy Headquarters.
I have to say that it is indeed a good idea to let Kuzan kill Zefa and then put the blame on the Country of Grass.
but.
After all, he still couldn't bear it!
After all, Zefa has been his comrade-in-arms for many years, and has been with him through life and death for so long!
Yes, he actually still has some selfish thoughts in his heart.
And this time is not an opportunity!
Maybe Zefa can take this opportunity to truly sneak into the Kingdom of Grass and have a round of cooperation with Kuzan!
You must know that this is different from Kuzan's time. This time, the world government has truly abandoned Zefa!
At that time, Kuzan... it was indeed a bit obvious.
And as long as they succeed, Zefa and his students can directly take the blame and return to the world government.
only.
He still believed in what Kuzan said!
Kuzan has his own justice in his heart and will never betray the World Government easily!
"Speaking of which, why do these two people suddenly suspect each other? Everyone is obviously doing the best for the Navy Headquarters!"
Warring States rubbed his forehead helplessly, looked at the phone bug at hand, and thought for a while not to contact Zefa for the time being, lest he be discovered by the Country of Grass.
But then he thought of the Beast Pirates again. He hesitated, took the phone directly, dialed a number, and said calmly, "Shanks..."
As he spoke, he seemed to notice something was wrong on the other side, so he stopped, frowned slightly, and asked in a slightly doubtful tone, "What happened to you over there?"
"Hahaha, eh? It's the Warring States Period! What's going on here?" The red-haired phone bug with three scars on his face said cheerfully, "It's nothing, he's just wanted by the Country of Grass!
"
The words fell.
"?!"
The land of grass?
Sengoku's expression suddenly changed, with a gloomy tone, "The Country of Grass has come to your side and taken action against your pirate group?"
Another sea emperor?
So what does the Country of Grass want to do?
Disturbing the entire sea and diverting the navy's attention?
Just when I was about to ask about the situation on the other side.
After hearing what Warring States just said, the red-haired phone bug seemed a little confused and said, "To our side? Well, that's not the case, it's just that we arrived at the East China Sea..."
"East China Sea? What are you doing over there now?" Warring States was stunned, but he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and said, "So, it's not that the Kingdom of Grass has declared war on another Sea Emperor, but that you have arrived
The territory of the Kingdom of Grass was discovered by the Kingdom of Grass.
Then, the Kingdom of Grass took action against you? That’s right, after all, you are all a group of pirates and entered the territory of the Kingdom of Grass. It is very normal for the Kingdom of Grass to attack you! Then you still say that you have not declared war?
"
He said with a somewhat dissatisfied tone.
"This is already a fight! Why hasn't war been declared yet?"
"A fight? There is no fight! The Country of Grass has not declared war on us."
"We didn't start a fight. Didn't you say that the Country of Grass has launched a wanted arrest for you?"
"Oh, that's right, it's just wanted! This doesn't mean..." After hearing Sengoku's inquiry, the red-haired phone bug seemed to smile a little sheepishly, "Declaration of war!"
"There is no declaration of war? Then why has the Kingdom of Grass launched a wanted search for you? Captain Shanks, this matter is very important. If you can, for the sake of the Five Old Stars, please tell me the situation immediately!"
"Okay! I don't know for sure, but it seems like... illegal entry, driving on the wrong side of the road, running a red light, and a hit and run!"
