Chapter 300 Self-destruction
In the meeting hall of the Navy Headquarters, the atmosphere was extremely depressing, and no one spoke a word.
In the center of the hall was placed a huge corpse, which was the dead Beast King Kaido.
The impact of the Divine Punishment leader 'Demon' killing Kaido was so great that it directly alarmed the Five Elders, who personally issued an order to strictly investigate the Divine Punishment.
"Where does this divine punishment come from? Who can tell me?" Zhan Guo's hoarse voice broke the dull silence.
"Your Excellency Marshal, we have been working hard to investigate, and the government has also sent out multiple intelligence agencies to investigate, but there is no result at all!"
One person reported cautiously, “But from the information we know so far, whenever the members of the Divine Punishment Organization go out, they wear masks and cloaks, so their true appearance cannot be seen.
"And they basically act in pairs. As for where their bases are or how they communicate, we have no idea."
"Do you still need to tell me something that everyone in the world knows? What I want to ask is if anyone here can provide some useful information?" Zhan Guo continued to ask after hearing something that seemed to have not been mentioned in the report.
Everyone below was silent at this moment, fearing that saying something wrong would anger the newly appointed Zhan Guo.
After a long while, Vice Admiral Tsuru, the Marine Headquarters Staff Officer, spoke up: "Judging from Kaido's wounds, he died at the hands of a top swordsman, but I really can't think of any swordsman who could kill Kaido so easily.
“Even Hawkeye Mihawk, who is now causing trouble in the New World and the Grand Line and is known as the world’s best swordsman, I don’t think he is Kaido’s opponent.
“The members of the Divine Punishment Organization have always been elusive and their identities are unknown, but their intelligence network is very accurate.
"If there are pirates committing crimes or people doing evil in that place, they will always appear very accurately, so we can use this as a starting point to make inferences!"
Lieutenant General He paused for a moment and continued, "Can we assume that wherever the Divine Punishment Organization has been, there are members of their organization? At least someone knows how to contact the Divine Punishment Organization and inform them that someone has done something evil.
“Otherwise, it is difficult to explain why the Divine Punishment Organization was able to obtain intelligence so accurately and rush to the scene of the incident.
"So, we can check all the places where the Divine Punishment Organization has appeared one by one to see who is connected to the Divine Punishment Organization."
When all the generals heard what Lieutenant General He said, their eyes lit up, as if they had grasped some important information.
Lu Kai couldn't help but admire Vice Admiral Tsuru, who was worthy of being the chief of staff of the Navy Headquarters and hit the nail on the head.
"As expected of Vice Admiral Crane, you have reminded all of us!" Zhan Guo praised, "But the question is how do we check?
“For example, if there is only one member of the Divine Punishment Organization in a town, or only one person who can contact a member of the Divine Punishment Organization, then this kind of investigation is like looking for a needle in a haystack.”
Zhan Guo raised his doubts again, and everyone was immediately brought back to square one as soon as they had gotten some inspiration.
"There is a way!" He Zhong continued, "From what we know so far, the members of the Divine Punishment Organization are very strong.
"Among the members who have appeared so far, the weakest one is at the level of a major general of the Marine Headquarters, and the strong one can even kill Kaido easily.
"Then we will investigate which strong people are in the places where the Divine Punishment Organization has appeared, and whether they have ever disappeared mysteriously or suddenly gone to sea."
I have to say that Vice Admiral Tsuru’s analysis is very accurate.
The members of the Divine Punishment Organization have both the desire and the responsibility to protect the place. It is indeed as Vice Admiral Tsuru said, in some places where the Divine Punishment Organization has appeared, there are indeed members of the Divine Punishment Organization.
But Fuya had thought of this step a long time ago. After so many years of planning, coupled with her deliberate actions, it would naturally be impossible for the World Government or the Navy Headquarters to find out easily.
Those who pass on information to Divine Punishment are not official members of Divine Punishment. Each one is an ordinary person who is strictly screened by Divine Punishment members in various places and is considered reliable.
These people knew nothing about the divine punishment.
The only thing they knew was that each of them had a communication ball given by a member of the Divine Punishment.
Crushing the communication ball can send out a distress signal, and upon receiving the message, the Divine Punishment members will immediately rush to the scene to help them.
This is the thing that can save their lives at the critical moment, so everyone cherishes it very much, and according to the requirements of the Divine Punishment members, they hide it carefully so that no one knows about it.
In fact, it’s okay to be discovered occasionally. After all, the communication ball looks like just an ordinary piece of jewelry.
In order to confuse the world, the communication balls have been specially treated. They are not just green, but colorful. The color of the communication ball that each person gets is different.
The second thing is whether the members have ever disappeared mysteriously or suddenly gone to sea. The members of Divine Punishment all have legitimate jobs, so even if they go to sea, they have impeccable reasons.
Moreover, there are at least 10 members of the Divine Punishment team guarding an area, and usually whichever group is more convenient will be dispatched.
Even when there is still time, many people will ask the organization for help even if their hometown is in danger, and the organization will then send other convenient people in the area to deal with the crisis.
After all, it is very easy for the Divine Punishment members to be dispatched. Even during a lunch break, they can arrive at the scene and resolve the issue.
If the Navy Headquarters really follows the clues from where the Divine Punishment members appeared, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.
"There is a question." Lu Kai, who was called back to the headquarters not long after going out to sea, suddenly interrupted Vice Admiral He, "According to the information we have known so far, the members of the Divine Punishment Organization are very strong and can reach their target location quickly and accurately.
“But is this because none of their members are really that strong, or are they specifically sending out members who are strong enough to cope with the situation at the time?
"Just now, Vice Admiral He assumed that someone could contact a member of the Divine Punishment Organization. Can this person who can contact the Divine Punishment Organization be an ordinary person, or does he need to be a powerful person as well?"
As soon as Lu Kai said this, everyone, including Lieutenant General He, was once again in a stalemate.
Even Crane couldn't think of an answer for a moment.
Yes, the people who were sent out by the Divine Punishment were very strong every time, but does the person who contacted the Divine Punishment also need to be very strong? It seems that just one person can do it, right?
And if the person he contacted was powerful enough, why didn't he solve the crisis himself, instead of waiting for the members of the Divine Punishment to arrive?
What's more, if we easily investigate the folk masters all over the world without any evidence, it would be fine if we really find out something, but if we don't, it would be a very bad ending.
