Chapter 728 Iron Triangle

Navy Headquarters

"Understand the applause!"
Captain Gill had finished telling the wonderful story of the "Valley of the Gods Incident", but he did not receive any applause from the audience. Instead, it was terribly "dull".
Dragon and Ivankov were very excited. It could be predicted that after today, the Revolutionary Army's goal of overthrowing the rule of the World Government would be supported and recognized by more people. They would suddenly become the army of justice from rebels and bandits, and then it would be smoother to carry out operations around the world!
Dorag even felt that Gel's impromptu speech in front of so many people was more successful than his previous action of killing three members of the Knights of God!
"No! Our navy... navy!"
Looking at the dejected and pale-faced naval officers and soldiers, Admiral Zhan Guo looked around at a loss, not knowing how to defend himself for a moment.
"Da da da!"
There was the sound of brisk footsteps, followed by hearty laughter.
"Hahahaha, Zhan Guo, how many times have I told you that you always like to waste your words on things that can be solved with fists! Now that you meet someone you can't win over with an argument, you finally realize it, right? Hahahaha!"
The navy hero Monkey D. Garp came to his old teammate with a big laugh, looking completely different from the miserable look he had when his eldest grandson was pinned on the execution platform and his youngest grandson was being chased and blocked.
"Garp, don't come and cause trouble for me at a time like this!"
Warring States said in a deep voice.
"Bullshit! How did I cause more trouble? Besides, don't you think it's not chaotic enough now?"
Garp put away his smile and his face showed the seriousness that only the Monkey family would have at critical moments.
"Long time no see, father!"
Dorag said hello politely.
"Haha, it's Long! I haven't seen you for such a long time, but you've become quite courageous. You actually dare to come to the Marine Headquarters to cause trouble. This is not like your style. But it doesn't matter. Since you are here, just wait and accept your death!"
Old Cap was not polite at all, which fully demonstrated what it means that only the generations apart can be close to each other.
"I'm sorry I can't agree to this request, Father."
Dorag lowered the corner of his mouth and said seriously.
"What? The leader of the Revolutionary Army is actually Vice Admiral Garp's son?"
Nearby, many navy officers who were not well-informed also showed surprised expressions when they heard the conversation between the two.
"Oh yeah, I almost forgot you had a father."
Captain Gel, who was about to open his mouth to scold, said this.
"Um…"
Dorag felt that this sounded like an insult.
"Haha! Boss Geer is really funny. Who doesn't have a father? Did a fatherless person just pop out from a crack in a rock?"
Ivankov rushed to answer.
"For your sake, I'll let it go and not criticize him. Besides, he's too shameless."
Ger curled his lips.
Lieutenant General Tsuru also walked out with a smile and came to the other side of the Warring States.
"Although it's not good to always use fists to solve problems like Garp, I have to admit that sometimes you really can only use fists to solve problems! For example... now!"
"Hahaha, Xiaohe, this is a rare time when you don't contradict me!"
Garp scratched his head with a smug look on his face.
"Hmph, the old-school navy love triangle? It's really the standard for a three-person team in Japanese comics."
Geer secretly complained.
"Garp! Ahe! You guys..."
There was a hint of dryness in Zhan Guo's voice.
"Thanks!"
"Haha, what are you saying thank you for? Zhan Guo, don't listen to that brat! It wasn't you who made the final decision 36 years ago. Even if it was you, that was the result that our entire navy had to face. This is not something that the Admiral can change or decide alone. So! Even if there was a mistake, it was the mistake made by our entire navy together. You don't have to think about shouldering it alone!"
Ah He spoke slowly, his tone carrying a convincing calmness.
If, at this time, even their old comrades of several decades cannot stand up to share the pressure with their marshal, then the navy is likely to really fall apart.
"Ahe!"
Zhan Guo's pupils dilated and his eyes were filled with gratitude.
"Hahaha, you're as gentle as ever! Xiaohe!"
Karp on the side took the opportunity to tease.
The three of them looked at each other and smiled.
"Ah, now is not the time to let your guard down."
"What should we do next? Please give the order! Marshal Zhan Guo."
"That mouth is so scary. Fortunately, I'm not the Admiral of the Navy... otherwise, I really don't know what to do!"
The three admirals of the navy, Aokiji, Kin and Kizaru, also stood up.
Other naval generals also stood behind Zhan Guo, saying that they also wanted to face all this together with the marshal.
"you!"
Zhan Guo was touched, and the justice in his heart became firm again.
At this moment, he felt his blood boiling, as if he was back to the time when he had just joined the navy and became a glorious marine.
Thinking about it now, it was so good back then. I didn’t have to pay any attention to the chaos above my head. My thoughts were simple. I just fought hard on the front line with my teammates, captured pirates, and protected civilians! I contributed to the stability of this sea!
It’s a pity that we can never go back to that kind of life!
Now, as the admiral of the navy, he is responsible for the fate of the entire navy!
Every decision he made could push the navy into an abyss of no return, so he had to be cautious. When facing the various chaotic orders of the World Government, he had to put the overall situation first and choose to compromise.
But if he were to ask himself, he would know that he had never used the power in his hands to seek any benefit for himself, so even if he had to bear all the infamy for the navy, he would be willing to do so without any regrets!
After figuring it out, Zhan Guo's eyes focused and he looked at Geer firmly again.
"It's time to put an end to this!"
“Hey, hey, hey, you guys, this isn’t some old-age hot-blooded manga. You’re already old, don’t get so excited all of a sudden!”
Gel waved his hands helplessly, looking like he was afraid of trouble.
