Chapter 343: The meeting begins and the Naval Criminal Investigation Bureau appears
conference hall.
Click, click, click...
"Garp, what time is it now and you are still eating senbei! Even if you are eating, don't make such a noise, it is too noisy!"
Sengoku, who was sitting in the main seat, yelled at Garp.
"Hahahaha, don't be so serious, Sengoku." Garp hugged the senbei and laughed.
"We haven't all arrived yet, so let me eat a little. You're right, Xiaohe."
He glanced at Garp, shook his head, and said to Sengoku, "Garp is right, those people were a little lazy about this meeting."
"Ah Lala, it sounds like they were indeed late for too long." Qingzhi opened his blindfold and said lazily.
"Oh, maybe they held a small meeting in advance. It's really strange. Is there any topic that cannot be discussed here?"
Kizaru pouted, pretending to be surprised.
"Those guys, don't you understand the importance of this war until now?" Akainu snorted coldly and said no more.
At the long meeting table, Marshal Sengoku, naval hero Garp, Chief Staff Officer He, and three generals of the headquarters were all seated.
Warring States sat at the main seat, and all the other high-ranking navy officers took their seats to his right, but there was no one on the other side of the long table.
Annan, Esdeath and Tina stood behind Akainu, Kizaru and Crane respectively.
As for Smoker, because it was the World Government that arranged this high-level meeting, it was not only the navy but also senior officials from other organizations who attended the meeting.
As we all know, his relationship with the World Government was not very good, so he chose to avoid it.
Everyone in the conference hall waited for a while.
"Haha, long time no see, everyone. I'm late. I'm really sorry."
The person who entered the conference hall was an old man. He had "mountain" shaped hair and beard. He was wearing a sleeveless black shirt with a medal on it. He had dark green armbands on his exposed arms, and his muscles were knotted.
The former marshal of the navy and the current commander-in-chief of the world government's military, "cyborg" Kong.
Seeing that the person coming was Kong, He and the three generals all stood up.
"Haha, no need to be so polite."
Cyborg Kong smiled and sat opposite Garp, crossed his hands on his chest, and said:
"Since I became the commander-in-chief of this army, except for the Warring States Period, I haven't seen anyone else for a long time. Alas, now is not the time to reminisce about the past. We must find time to get together in the future."
"Old friends really need to get together, but if we don't do it now, we may not have the chance in the future."
Before Kong could finish speaking, another person walked into the office and spoke in a strange tone.
"After all, we are going to war with the 'Four Emperors'. Even an admiral will be at risk of sacrifice."
"Hehe, the annoying guy is here too." Sora put away his smile and crossed his hands in front of his chest.
Others were no longer as casual as before, and the atmosphere suddenly became uncomfortable.
Annan and Esdeath looked at the person who was speaking. This person was wearing Wano-style clothes, wearing wooden clogs, and had a mustache. He was about the same height as a crane. He always had an intermittent smile on his face.
His eyes were moving wildly, as if he was scanning everyone in the conference hall.
Although he was wearing a navy cape, his whole body exuded an aura that was completely different from that of a soldier.
"It's the 'Old Fox', the person Tina hates the most is here." Tina whispered with disgust in her eyes.
"Old fox? This nickname is indeed very similar to him." The corners of Esdeath's mouth turned up.
"Ahem."
He coughed a few times, motioned to the two people behind him not to say anything more, and then introduced him: "This is Mr. Fox, the director of the Naval Criminal Investigative Service, codenamed 'Black Fox'."
"Hahaha, I didn't expect Lieutenant General He to be the introducer, so could you please introduce these two as well?"
Fox still had a smile on his face, and behind him were two people, one tall and one short.
The tall man is tall, as tall as a general, with smooth red hair, wearing sunglasses, a black suit and a navy cape.
The short man is only 1.5 meters tall, wearing a bamboo hat and the uniform of Impel Down.
"The following is the deputy director of the Naval Criminal Investigation Bureau, Tianzheng, codenamed 'Black Fox', who is here to attend the meeting on behalf of the world government."
The tall Tianzheng didn't seem to hear Fox's words and took the lead in introducing himself.
"Ah, my name is Ranbo, and I am also the deputy director of the Naval Criminal Investigation Bureau. However, I do not represent the World Government. I am here to go through the motions on behalf of Impel Down. Please take care of me."
Luan Bo picked his nose and said indifferently.
"You guys are really trying to make things difficult for me."
The corners of Fox's mouth twitched repeatedly, but he still maintained a smile, looking towards Warring States:
"Now that my people have introduced themselves, can I take a seat now? Sengoku-san?"
