Chapter 346 New Navy Meeting
New Marinford, inside the Admiral's office.
Akainu is wearing a white suit with a red flower-patterned shirt underneath.
Smoking a cigar, he gathered together with many lieutenant admirals who had been fighting in the New World for many years and did not participate in the Battle of Marineford.
On the warm mahogany table, steam was rising from the hot teacup.
"Well, after two years of fighting and rebuilding, the navy has finally stabilized."
Outside the house, Kaji opened the door majestically and walked in and said.
He looked so smug that Vice Admiral Dole gave him a look of contempt.
"I have called everyone here to come up with a joint plan for what will happen next. Tell everyone everything you know, Lieutenant General Ain."
Kake sat closest to Akainu, along with many vice admirals.
The vice admirals present were basically all elites from the class when Arthur joined the navy at the age of 14.
All of them are disciples taught by Zefa, without exception.
Among them were Ain, Binz, Xiu Zuo and others, who had participated in the siege of Red Harbor's closed-door disciples with Zefa.
Now he has inherited Zephyr's mantle and is not only a vice admiral of the Marine Headquarters.
They are also one of the three leaders of the Sea Guerrillas and the main source of intelligence for the current meeting.
Ain, the user of the Retrograde Fruit, can do this by simply touching someone with his hand.
You can go back to that person's twelve years old and return to his youthful appearance.
Ian's ability has been awakened, without changing the other party's real age.
It can keep the other person young forever until they die of old age, but it is not eternal life.
It can be used for both fighting and assisting, which is a very abnormal ability.
“The first piece of information is about the Blackbeard Pirates.
The navy assisted the government in the long war against the revolutionary army.
The Blackbeard Pirates have already plundered a large amount of the navy's military power.
Plus two years of searching for the devil fruit that died and was reborn in the war at the top.
He also has the devil fruit ability to hunt others. He is probably the most powerful among the four emperors at the moment."
Ian reported to everyone the first piece of information he obtained in the New World.
"I will lead the Blackbeard Pirates!" Kake stood up and said:
"Kaido, Big Mom, and Red Hair, the three of them haven't made much of a move in the past two years, except for this Blackbeard!"
When everyone saw Kake stepping in to deal with the expansion of the Blackbeard Pirates, they stopped saying anything or trying to take credit.
Apart from him, no one can face the Blackbeard Pirates head-on.
Unless the marshal comes forward in person.
"The second piece of information is about the whereabouts of the former Navy hero Garp after the defeat of the Revolutionary Army."
As soon as they heard the word Garp, everyone's eyes turned serious.
He was no longer on the acceptable list, but his son Dorag was.
He was included in the recruitable list by Akainu, and all he had to do was go to Impelton to convince him.
Because now, Dorag's faith has been completely shattered.
Even the spirit of resisting the government no longer exists in his heart. All that remains is a zombie-like, aimless body.
“The intelligence we have received is that Garp is now in retreat in the Aurora Islands.
According to intelligence information, the Straw Hat Pirates will reunite on that island.
Since they were defeated in Magic Valley Town two years ago, they have been scattered all over the world."
Lieutenant General Xiu Zuo suddenly interrupted:
"This is information obtained from the revolutionary soldiers under torture.
They were all deliberately arranged by Bartholomew Xiong, one of the founders of the Revolutionary Army, to be trained in various parts of the world for two years!
If we let them reunite, it will probably be a huge trouble."
Boom! When Akainu heard the news, his fists were burning with high temperature flames, and he seemed very interested.
However, there is a problem that makes it difficult for him to deal with.
If troops were sent to capture the Straw Hat Pirates, would Dragon really join the navy as a father?
Even if his beliefs are shattered, as a father, are you willing to kill your son who is a pirate?
Obviously, this is impossible. Considering his behavior compared to his youthful appearance, it is simply impossible.
The Monchi clan all attach too much importance to family.
Now one has retired, one has been captured, and one is at large.
From this point of view, it is absolutely impossible for Dorag to be the second admiral candidate.
Akainu doesn't want the company to be filled with a variety of people with connections now.
The son is a pirate and the father is a navy. Can the navy catch those guys?
Obviously it is impossible.
"Vice General Docha, listen to my orders!" Akainu made his choice and issued an order to everyone:
“You lead 10 pacifists to the Aurora Islands to stop the Straw Hat Pirates from regrouping!
The son of Dorag must be destroyed!"
"What about Dragon? Do the Five Elders have any orders?"
Kake asked Akainu.
“In his homeland, the Kingdom of Goa, a public execution was held to announce to the world the fate of those who rebelled.
Remember, keep his mouth shut! Don't let him reveal some secrets about the dark side of the world like Roger did!"
Vice Admiral Tucha stood up, his massive torso towering over everyone present.
He has a big round beard.
With huge hairy arms and hands.
He was wearing a hat with the word "Navy" on it, a dark T-shirt, light pants and dark boots.
As a vice admiral of the Marine Headquarters, he wears a large coat with the word "Justice" written on the back.
He walked to the center of Akainu's desk, gave a signature military salute, accepted the mission, and turned to leave.
"The Worst Generation has also caused a lot of trouble in the past two years. Their growth cannot be underestimated!" Akainu attaches great importance to the new seedlings of evil.
Because he didn't want them to grow up and cause trouble to the security of the ocean.
"The third piece of information..." Ian stuttered as he reported the last piece of information:
"I'm not sure... The third piece of information is about the Ice Sword Master."
When they heard Arthur, everyone present stood in awe, and everyone knew him.
Coming out of the same military camp, no one would have thought that Arthur would become a great evil in the world of cholera.
"Arthur? There has been no news about him for about a year." Dole said, very curious about Arthur's current whereabouts.
She wanted to see how Arthur was doing now.
When we first met, she was still a bad girl causing trouble on the streets.
The little follower following Arthur.
"Before, he had heard news about him among the various kingdoms, but later he completely disappeared." Vice Admiral Guillotine of the Navy Headquarters said.
"Keep talking, everyone else be quiet!" Akainu took the cigar from his mouth and said to Ian.
Ion continued reporting:
"He is on the world's largest entertainment city, the Gulan Tezulo.
I approached him in person and felt like a completely different person than before.
Very greedy, addicted to gambling, lustful... In short, you won't believe what I say.
When I passed by him, I couldn't feel the cold aura of the past at all, not at all.
More like a degenerate gambler...tied up and auctioned off everywhere!"
"That guy, Tezoro, dares to auction Arthur!?" Dor's eyes widened in shock, and his voice became louder:
“Although it is a neutral zone, pirates and the navy cannot cause trouble there.
However, with Arthur's personality, he would sink that ten-kilometer-long giant ship to the bottom of the sea in an instant!"
The navy was also shocked and doubted the information.
"Are you choosing to fall into depravity because of something you lost two years ago?"
"No matter what, Arthur has three kinds of devil fruit abilities!"
"This is for the best. The navy has just stabilized, so it's better not to provoke a sleeping beast!"
Just then, the conference door was opened by a pink-haired navy captain.
"Colonel Coby?" Akainu stared at him.
"Marshal, please let me go to the Aurora Islands with Vice Admiral Tucha!"
His body was covered with numerous frostbite scars and various slash wounds.
After being rescued from under the glacier, he is now a completely different person from his previous cowardly appearance.
