Chapter 186 CP0's Adventure! Puppet!
Chapter 186 CP0's Adventure! Puppet!
Even though she was almost suppressed in all aspects by Charlotte Linlin in the previous battle, it did not affect Esdeath's confidence in the next fight.
"I am looking forward."
Borsalino said with a smile.
However, when he finished speaking, he realized that Esdeath, who was leaning on his arms, had fallen into a deep sleep.
Seeing this scene, Borsalino couldn't help but scratch his head. He originally wanted to be affectionate with Esdeath, but her current condition was really not very good. Even if Borsalino had no moral integrity, he couldn't torment her at this time.
Just as Borsalino, with a helpless look on his face, was busy taking care of Esdeath, the three CP0s finally arrived at Marinford.
In the imagination of the three CP0s, Marinford should be heavily guarded at this time, with a guard post every five steps and a sentry every ten steps. There would be at least several thousand and at most tens of thousands of fully armed marines standing by in the square, and the naval fleet that covered the sky and the sun was ready to attack at any time.
Only in this way can it fit CP0's impression of the rebels' lair. It is possible that the new naval marshal, out of his kilograms, kilograms are rebellious, and he has prepared countless traps to kill them directly.
However, what they never expected was that the sea fortress that they imagined was almost armed to the teeth seemed more relaxed than ever in reality.
Marines on leave were competing in fishing on the reefs, a large number of military uniforms were drying on the deck of the warship, and even a number of stages were built in the square of Marinford. Specially invited singers, bands and theater troupes performed on different stages, creating a joyful scene.
If there weren't marines standing guard at the port and in the watchtower, the three CP0s would probably have suspected that they had come to the wrong place.
This is actually not Marinford, but a navy resort island.
"Captain, didn't they say the navy started a rebellion?"
Amiso asked in disbelief, he even began to suspect if there was some misunderstanding.
"... Let's go ashore first and meet the Admiral first."
Leiva pondered for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and made a decision.
Reva, who knew more information, would naturally not be as naive as Amiso, but they had no second choice now.
"Then I will be responsible for the response?"
The third CP0 looked at the direction of Marinford hesitantly, but could not find any flaws.
"You know the rules."
Leiva curled his lips, but did not reject the other party's proposal.
It is also a common practice of CP0 to leave a member behind to provide support. However, if none of the agents carrying out the mission survive, the agent responsible for the support will have no way out.
In a sense, the risks they take are the same, but Reva prefers to take the initiative into his own hands.
"Do not worry."
The third CP0 agreed without hesitation. It was not because he was willing to entrust his life and death to his teammates, but because he had tasks on his hands that needed to be completed outside.
When Reva and Amiso drove the Viba towards Marinford, the third CP0 drove the Viba around Marinford and threw the positioning devices into the sea one by one.
He didn't know what the positioning devices were used for. He only knew that the Five Elders looked very serious when they gave orders. They even avoided Reva and Amiso and gave orders to him alone.
Not long after the two CP0s came ashore, they were discovered and stopped by the sentries on duty.
"We are CP0, responsible for conveying the orders of the Five Elders to Marshal Borsalino!"
Captain Reva, who had been uneasy before, spoke in an extremely firm tone when facing the marines, even with a hint of superiority, as if he had no idea that the navy was preparing to launch a rebellion.
"This is our identification. Take us to see Marshal Borsalino immediately. You can't afford any delays!"
Amiso took out his identity document at the right moment and spoke loudly and sternly to the marine.
Under normal circumstances, CP0s like Reva and Amiso would never deal with these low-level marines. They would just go to whoever they wanted without any scruples.
But the situation is different now. It is hard to say whether the navy is preparing to launch a rebellion, but there is no doubt that it has second thoughts.
If they didn't prove their identities in advance, the two CP0s would be a little worried that someone who wanted to kill them would take the opportunity to kill them.
The marines on guard actually couldn't recognize something as high-end as a CP0 certificate, but according to Marshal Borsalino's previous instructions, any suspicious guys could be brought directly to the office of the Warring States Inspector General and there would be no problem.
"I understand. Please follow me."
The Marine thinking this way first called other Marines to help take over the post, and then took the two CP0s towards the office of the Warring States Inspector.
The two CP0s saw that they were heading towards the Navy's headquarters building, and they did not suspect anything when they saw road signs pointing to the Marshal's office from time to time along the way.
In this way, I was brought to the office of the former Navy Marshal, current Navy Inspector.
Grand Inspector Warring States was a little confused when he suddenly saw two CP0s. He was prepared to do trouble together with Borsalino, but suddenly having to face two CP0s still caught him off guard.
"I know, thank you for your hard work."
However, since the people had already been brought here, it was not easy for Zhan Guo to ask the marines to take the two CP0s back. He could only bite the bullet and send the marines away, and then turned his attention to the two CP0s.
"Marshal Zhan Guo, we are entrusted by the Five Elders to have a good talk with you."
After seeing the Warring States Inspector, Reva and Amiso also realized that something seemed to be wrong.
Fortunately, the current situation is a good start for the tasks they must complete next.
"Just say whatever you want to say. I'm no longer the Admiral of the Navy. Please call me Grand Inspector."
As soon as Leiwa opened his mouth, Zhan Guo easily saw through his little thoughts, so he spoke with a slightly cold tone.
Compared to Borsalino, who is eager to immediately declare his irreconcilable relationship with the World Government, Sengoku prefers not to take sides easily and wait until the World Government and the Cosmic Dark Matter Pirates decide the outcome before making a final decision.
At the very least, the World Government and the Five Elders must feel that the Navy has not made a final decision. In this way, no matter what the final result is, the Navy will have room for maneuver.
Anyway, given the size of the navy, no matter whether the World Government and the Five Elders believe it or not, they cannot adopt overly harsh measures against the navy.
It is a pity that Borsalino, the current Admiral of the Navy, has already gone all in, and the former Admiral, the Warring States Grand Inspector, can only try to play along.
"Yes, Grand Inspector Sengoku, Saint Vochuli wants to know what Marinford wants?"
Leiva took a deep breath, stared at the Warring States Inspector very seriously, and spoke word by word.
Upon hearing this, the Chief Inspector of the Warring States could not help but feel a headache. He could only say that no one who climbed to a high position was a fool. After all, Borsalino's little trick could not be hidden from the Five Elder Stars.
"The Navy is just trying to uphold justice."
The Warring States Chief Censor answered very straightforwardly.
Amiso, who had been holding unrealistic fantasies a second ago, was now completely dumbfounded.
If the Navy is really preparing to launch a rebellion against the World Government, then aren't they just asking for it?
Almost subconsciously, Amiso had the idea of kidnapping the Warring States Inspector and running away.
But immediately he wanted to slap himself. Not to mention him and Reva, even if all the members of CP0 were present, it would be impossible to defeat Sengoku, the former Navy Admiral, in a short time.
Not to mention kidnapping him and escaping from Marinford, they also had to escape the pursuit of the headquarters navy on the sea, which was a nightmare level of difficulty no matter how you thought about it.
"The World Government is justice! To uphold justice is to uphold the World Government!"
Reva's tone became very serious. The World Government has ruled the world for eight hundred years. Even if it is unpopular, it has been able to cultivate countless loyal fans during such a long period of time.
"Justice is justice, and the world government is the world government."
Zhan Guo shook his head. If he couldn't see clearly when he was young, then at his current age, he no longer had any confusion in his heart.
Otherwise, Borsalino's few words alone would not be able to shake the position of the Warring States Censor.
"how dare you!"
Leiva seemed to have forgotten his previous cowardly thoughts, and he glared at the Warring States Inspector without fear, as if he was going to pounce on him and fight him to the death if they disagreed.
"Captain...Captain?!"
Amiso looked at the captain in horror, who suddenly became a little strange, then looked at Zhan Guo and then at Reva, unable to understand what was going on.
The Chief Inspector of the Warring States Period, who was sitting behind his desk, looked at Reva for a moment, his pupils shrank slightly, as if he had guessed the truth.
"I wonder which of the Five Elders this is?"
Zhan Guo spoke slowly, his tone becoming particularly heavy.
"Humph, you are worthy of being the wise general Buddha of the Warring States Period. It's a pity that your wisdom failed to help you make the right choice this time!"
'Lewa's' demeanor suddenly changed drastically, from a CP0 'old hand' to a high and mighty big shot.
However, Zhan Guo knew very well that the Reva in front of him was still the genuine CP0, but his personality was erased by one of the Five Elder Stars, and he became a puppet that could be manipulated by others.
"Team...Team...Greetings to the Five Elders!"
Amiso wanted to say something, but when he saw Captain Reva's eyes cast at him, the courage he had finally mustered disappeared completely.
He lay on the ground without any dignity, with his head pressed against the carpet. Even though he was bleeding from the sand in the carpet, he did not dare to raise his head even a little.
"I just want to talk, there's no need to go this far..."
Zhan Guo's expression was very complicated. He could not say that he had sympathy for Reva, but it was inevitable that he would feel touched when he saw that CP0, who was loyal to the World Government, was mercilessly turned into a puppet by the Five Elders. "Being a temporary carrier of the Five Elders is the greatest honor of his life."
The Five Elders who possessed or controlled Reva spoke expressionlessly, saying that if one was not loyal enough to the World Government and the Five Elders, it would not be so easy to erase his personality and turn him into a puppet.
"Perhaps. Then, what do the Five Elders want to convey to me, an old marine who has retired to the second line?"
Zhan Guo did not speak up to defend Reva. On the one hand, Reva's personality had been erased. Strictly speaking, this CP0 was dead, and what was standing here was just his shell.
On the other hand, Zhan Guo knew very well that there was nothing to argue with the Five Elders. They had been at the top of the world for too long, and their hearts had long been twisted and polluted by power. Debating with them was a sheer waste of time.
"As long as the Five Elders and the World Government approve, you can become the Navy Admiral again at any time..."
'Lewa' generously offered a bunch of conditions to the Warring States.
It seemed that as long as Sengoku nodded, they could immediately overthrow Borsalino and reappoint Sengoku as the navy marshal.
In addition, there are a lot of benefits waiting for Sengoku to obtain after he becomes the Navy Marshal. Even after Sengoku retires, there is the benefit of being recommended to become the king of a member country.
"It sounds really tempting... But unfortunately, I choose to refuse."
Zhan Guo stood up slowly, his slightly hunched but still tall body was full of oppression.
"Do you know what you're talking about, Sengoku?!"
'Reva' said with a gloomy expression, he was willing to personally manipulate this lowly agent to talk directly to Zhan Guo just to get this key chess piece.
But what he never expected was that Zhan Guo actually rejected his invitation, and even after he, one of the Five Elder Stars, had revealed his identity!
Such a setback made Leiwa feel extremely humiliated. As one of the Five Elders, he failed to recruit a lowly person. How would he save face if this got out? !
"Of course I know, and I have long wanted to do the same as Borsalino and reject all the annoying guys outright!"
Zhan Guo gave 'Lei Wa' a kind smile, and a bright golden light shone on his body.
'Lewa' couldn't even see when Zhan Guo made his move.
All he remembered was a big golden bag that kept getting bigger and bigger in front of his eyes.
He then lost sight and control of the CP agent, which is obviously what happens when the host dies.
"Pet Saint, please pay more attention. We cannot afford to make too many mistakes in the next task..."
The one who spoke was another one of the Five Elders, Marcus Maz Saint. Although they had confessed their crimes to Lord Im in advance, none of the Five Elders dared to imagine asking Lord Im to take action.
Therefore, what the Five Elders have to do is to take precautions before the eventuality occurs and stop the Cosmic Dark Matter Pirates before the last line of defense.
In order to achieve this goal, even the Five Elder Stars have to go all out to ensure that there are no loopholes in the plan.
Under such circumstances, Shepard ten Peter Saint, who suddenly lost his concentration in the middle of the meeting, naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of the other five elder stars.
"Sorry, I'll try my best."
After being 'humiliated' by Zhan Guo, Saint Peter could only suppress his anger and apologize to the other five elder stars, but the damn golden giant still appeared in his mind from time to time!
'boom!boom! '
Two figures flew out of the office of the Warring States Inspector, one after the other, startling the adjutant guarding the door.
"Put these two guys in jail, and send warships to patrol the sea to see if we can catch the guy who picked them up as well!
The Chief Inspector of the Warring States Period lowered his eyes, not wanting his subordinates to see how happy he was feeling at the moment.
Although he was just a puppet controlled by the Five Elders, being able to slap the Five Elders in the face still gave the Warring States Chief Inspector an unprecedented sense of excitement.
Just when Sengoku was trying to force Kabuto to surrender with his slap on the Five Elder Stars, Sakaski from the New World finally arrived at the G1 branch.
"You are finally here, Sakaski. The fleet has been replenished and is ready to set off at any time."
Vice Admiral Doberman finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Sakaski coming. Although Akainu kept saying that the headquarters navy had launched a rebellion, for a veteran navy like Doberman, pointing at the former and current navy admirals and saying that they were rebels was somewhat challenging his bottom line of cognition.
Even though Sakaski has the support of the World Government, Doberman still feels guilty for betraying the navy.
We finally waited for Akainu to come and take charge of the situation. Even if the sky falls later, there will be someone tall to hold it up.
"You guys did a great job!"
Sakaski glanced at the fleet anchored in the port, and his serious expression relaxed a little.
With this group of navy from the G1 branch as his base, he will have the key bargaining chips in his hands whether participating in the defense of the Holy Land or rebuilding the navy.
"What's going on in Marinford?"
Seeing that Sakaski seemed to be in a much better mood, Vice Admiral Ghost Spider, who had been holding it in for several days, couldn't help but ask.
Since the last order to send them to the G5 branch for repairs, the headquarters has not issued any new orders.
Doberman and Ghost Spider, who were feeling guilty, did not dare to ask what was going on at the headquarters.
Now that he had met Sakaski, the person involved, Ghost Spider could no longer suppress his curiosity.
Hearing this, Lieutenant General Doberman couldn't help but look at Sakaski. They were mentally prepared for Borsalino's "rebellion".
After all, Borsalino has never had much respect for the World Government, and it's not like Vice Admiral Garp who dislikes him. Anyone who knows Borsalino knows how much this admiral of the headquarters does not get along with the World Government.
Of course, the World Government also felt disgusted with Borsalino. When he was promoted to admiral, he was blocked more than once. In the end, there was no excuse left, so the World Government had to give in and let Borsalino be promoted.
Therefore, when Sakaski announced that Borsalino had betrayed the World Government, Doberman and Ghost Spider believed Sakaski without much doubt.
But Marinford is not a place where Borsalino has the final say. Don't forget that Sengoku, who just stepped down as marshal, is still serving as the chief inspector of the headquarters. There is no reason for him to allow Borsalino to do this.
"The Warring States Grand Inspector has been bewitched by Borsalino. Don't expect him to restore order!" Sakaski snorted coldly, his words full of resentment towards the Warring States Grand Inspector.
Marshal Sengoku had chosen Borsalino to replace him for very good reasons, and Sakaski had nothing to say.
As a result, Borsalino, who became the Admiral of the Navy, betrayed the World Government, but Sengoku did not admit that he had chosen the wrong person and was prepared to follow Borsalino to the end.
This made Sakaski feel very hurt, as he thought he was qualified enough to compete with Borsalino for the position of Admiral of the Navy.
If it weren't for Borsalino's exaggerated qualifications and achievements, given the difference in their personalities and styles, Sakaski would have always felt that his chances of becoming a naval marshal were higher than Borsalino's.
However, reality gave Sakaski a severe stab in the back. Even though Borsalino had done such evil things, the Warring States Inspector still did not consider Sakaski.
"Lt. Admiral Azuru and Lieutenant General Garp too?!"
Dauberman opened his mouth in astonishment. He suddenly felt as if he had boarded the wrong ship.
Although he agrees more with Sakaski's ideas, it does not mean that he is willing to follow Sakaski to fight against the will of all the naval leaders.
"Borsalino had planned this long ago. He used the opportunity of their vacation to transfer Vice Admiral Ahe and Vice Admiral Garp away. We can't contact them for the time being..."
Sakaski glanced at Doberman, seeming to have guessed what his old subordinate was thinking.
But it is too late to regret now. From the moment they chose to stay in the G1 branch, they were destined to stand on Sakaski's side.
"If there is nothing to deal with, let's set off for Marijoa as soon as possible. The main fleet of the pirates is less than two days away from the G1 branch. If we delay any further, we are likely to collide with their vanguard fleet!"
Compared to the somewhat indecisive Doberman, Ghost Spider is determined to follow Sakaski to the end.
With his strength and qualifications, he can only serve as a lieutenant general in this department until retirement.
But if he could help Sakaski rebuild the navy, as Marshal Sakaski's deputy, he might have a chance to become an admiral.
"Then prepare to go out to sea. Our military strength is limited and we cannot waste it on those lowly pirates before the war breaks out!"
In the past, as long as he could complete the mission of defeating pirates, Sakaski didn't care about the casualties of his navy.
But now every marine under his command is the backbone of his future navy reconstruction, and he would be heartbroken for a long time even if one Sakaski died.
"I'll go gather the captain."
Doberman nodded. Even if he wanted to regret it, he had to lead the Marines of the G1 branch out of danger first.
Otherwise, once they are entangled by the vanguard of the Cosmic Dark Matter Pirates and the subsequent pirate fleet catches up, even Sakaski will not be a match for the two pirate emperors.
"Where's Laculova?"
Sakaski frowned and asked, the giant marines would feel powerless when facing strong men, but their tall bodies could play a great role in boosting morale and dealing with small pirates.
Although most of the giant marines would just mindlessly follow the orders of the headquarters, if there is a chance, Sakaski still wants to try to persuade the giant vice admiral Lakulova to take him to Marijoa to participate in the war.
"Lacroix went to the G5 branch. We were worried that he would get in the way if he stayed in G1, so..."
Ghost Spider spoke a little depressed, if he had known that Sakaski was planning to take advantage of Lakulova, why would he have bothered to be a villain and trick Lakulova away?
If both he and Laculova survived, the stubborn Laculova would probably cause trouble for him.
