Chapter 17 Navy Meeting
Navy Headquarters, Marineford, was holding an emergency meeting.
There were many figures Nicholas recognized in the meeting, as well as many Navy generals he had never seen before.
The young Navy Vice Admiral Sengoku the Buddha, the young Navy Vice Admiral 'Iron Fist' Garp, the young Navy Vice Admiral 'Black Arm' Zephyr, and a beautiful, shapely Navy Female Staff Officer Tsuru.
These four were Navy contemporaries, and also the most outstanding Navy generals of this generation, even already recognized as successors to the next generation of Navy Admiral.
At this time, Navy Headquarters only had one Navy Marshal, Kong, the future Commander-in-Chief of the World Government.
The other two Navy Admiral were one stationed at the G1 Branch in the New World, and the other was sweeping Pirates in the New World, saying sweeping Pirates was more like waiting for Pirates who were lucky enough to break out of this unpredictable Moby Dick Sea Area to surrender themselves, and by the way, to support G1 at any time, after all, for the Rocks Pirates, only one Navy Admiral stationed at the G1 Branch was obviously not enough.
So Navy Headquarters only had one Navy Marshal Kong guarding it.
As for the Navy Marshal of this generation, he had already been killed by Rocks in a head-on confrontation many years ago, and it was that battle that established Rocks' name as the World's Strongest and most ferocious Pirate.
The Navy Marshal personally led the Buster Call, and two Navy Admiral assisted from the side, engaging in a fierce battle with the Rocks Pirates in a Sea in the New World. Among them, the two Navy Admiral led were intercepted by Whitebeard and Golden Lion respectively, and the remaining Navy were blocked by other members of the Rocks Pirates and affiliated Pirate Crew.
That battle can be said to have resulted in heavy casualties for the Navy. The Navy Marshal was killed in a frontal battle with Rocks. If the Navy and the World Government's support had not arrived in time, I am afraid the other two Navy Admiral would have also been left in that Sea.
It was also because of this battle that Rocks' name resounded throughout the world, and even the influence of the World Government and the Navy in the New World was infinitely weakened. The World Government specifically issued a policy.
That is, the Navy Marshal guards the Navy Headquarters unless it is extremely important, or ordered by the World Government, and is never allowed to go to the New World without authorization!
After all, the news of the death of a Navy Marshal had already shaken the prestige of the World Government. If it happened again, it is estimated that the Navy and even the World Government would have no prestige in this Sea anymore.
Even the Celestial Dragons, who were arrogant and lawless, regarded the New World and even this increasingly turbulent Sea as ferocious beasts, and shrank back in Holy Land Mary Geoise, unwilling to leave easily.
For them, it was still relatively safe to be in Mary Geoise with the Navy and World Government and Celestial Dragon guard forces, but once they went outside, there were really guys outside who dared to attack them.
For those Pirates, if a Celestial Dragon provoked them, they would just kill them. At worst, they would escape directly to the New World and seek refuge under Rocks, the man known as the enemy of the world.
At this time, Kong looked at the News just sent from the New World with a frown, and sighed: "The Rocks Pirates' movements are getting bigger and bigger, and they have even begun to contact various forces. The situation is now becoming more and more serious. Moreover, the G7 and G11 branches have also been captured by the Pirate Crew led by Charlotte Linlin and Captain John respectively. What are your opinions, everyone? Please feel free to speak up."
"Navy Marshal Kong, I would like to ask when the replenishment of Navy Marshal and Navy Strength will come down. Now, as the Rocks Pirates' actions increase, our personnel replenishment and logistical supply are somewhat strained."
Tsuru looked at Kong and asked. As a candidate for the next Navy Chief of Staff, the Navy Headquarters has now intentionally delegated some power to Tsuru.
"The World Government side said that the headquarters Navy Marshal still needs to be discussed for a period of time. Of course, everyone knows that this is definitely perfunctory to us, so the headquarters will temporarily be taken over by me as Navy Marshal. Of course, this appointment is temporarily not public, after all, they cannot afford to lose another Navy Marshal.
As for the various materials and personnel supplies, the World Government has stated that there are no restrictions, no restrictions on our military expenditure, no restrictions on our personnel recruitment, and no restrictions on our losses."
After speaking, Kong laughed self-deprecatingly, after all, the current Navy can be said to be an important Trump Card for the World Government to resist Rocks, so naturally it is very important, and various resources are supplied openly.
After Kong finished speaking, he looked at Garp, Sengoku, Zephyr, Tsuru and others. These people will soon take over the positions of Navy Admiral and Navy Staff Officer.
With the Strength of Garp, Sengoku, Zephyr and others, they are fully capable of serving as Navy Admiral.
The reason why they have not become Navy Admiral now is purely because the number of Navy Admiral is sufficient.
However, a Navy Admiral position should be vacated soon.
Garp saw that the expressions of the others in the meeting room were a bit heavy, so he picked his nose and said carelessly: "Since those Parasite are opening up material supplies, then it should be no problem for me to have three years of free Doughnuts, right?"
Kong looked at Garp's unserious appearance, as well as his annoying posture and tone, and directly slammed the table and roared: "Garp, you bastard, be serious! The Rocks Pirates we are going to face are not ordinary Pirates! Neither Golden Lion nor Whitebeard are easy characters to deal with! Carelessness can lead to death!"
Garp heard Kong's serious tone, but still went his own way, grabbed a handful of Senbei Crackers with the hand he had just picked his nose with and stuffed them into his mouth, and laughed carelessly: "Death? From the day we joined the Navy, haven't we made that resolve? For the sake of maintaining tranquility on the Sea, what does death matter? Anyway, people are going to die sooner or later, don't you think so, Sengoku?"
As Garp spoke, the Senbei Crackers crumbs in his mouth sprayed all over Sengoku's face next to him.
"Garp! Be serious, and don't bring Food into the meeting room to eat in the future!"
Kong looked at this Navy and disciple he liked the most with a headache. If nothing unexpected happened, Garp would become one of the strongest Navy in Navy history.
Then he turned to look at Zephyr, Sengoku, and Tsuru, obviously Kong no longer held much hope for Garp's views.
"I personally think the threat of the Rocks Pirates is too great, and their top-level combat power even surpasses the Navy."
Zephyr adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose and said seriously.
"If this Pirate Crew is left unchecked, it will seriously endanger the safety of the world, so I think we must kill them before they do anything more dangerous."
Sengoku also added.
"But the Strength of the Rocks Pirates is comparable to or even surpasses Navy Headquarters, and both Intelligence from Cipher Pol and our Navy Intelligence system show that Rocks has recently been contacting some dangerous figures.
Once a real fight breaks out, with those Monsters joining in the chaos, victory may not be ours. Unless the World Government also sends top-level combat power to assist, even if we can win, the entire Navy is estimated to be defeated, so the problem now lies in the World Government's intentions."
After Tsuru expressed her opinion, she also looked at Kong. Among the Navy, only the current Kong has a relatively close connection with the World Government.
"The World Government is still weighing the pros and cons."
Kong said this very euphemistically.
Hearing this, the meeting room fell silent.
Garp poured the remaining Senbei Crackers into his mouth in one go, and the crunching sound echoed in the meeting room.
But Kong didn't mind this time, after all, the World Government's actions were indeed a bit speechless.
"Heh, it seems that those guys are really suspicious."
Zephyr chuckled and said nothing more.
Tsuru also took out a few bounty orders and placed them on the table.
"Everyone, take a look. In addition to the Rocks Pirates, another Pirate Crew has emerged in the past two years, and is gaining momentum on the Sea, and even its Strength can be said to be second only to the Rocks Pirates."
She had analyzed this Pirate Crew and felt that the threat of this Pirate Crew was no less than that of the Rocks Pirates. After all, the Rocks Pirates, strictly speaking, were forcibly gathered together by Rocks' powerful Strength. As long as Rocks was resolved, the seemingly powerful Rocks Pirates would immediately fall apart.
But the cohesion of this Roger Pirates is obviously not comparable to the Rocks Pirates.
