Chapter 97 The Nervous Navy
While Xuan left the new world, a big news once again ignited the entire world.
Logically speaking, people should have become accustomed to the big news that pops up from time to time over the years, but this time the news is extraordinary.
The Roger Pirates, the pirates called miracles by many pirates, finally successfully stepped onto Rafdrew and successfully returned to the new world after that.
This is equivalent to a bolt from the blue for countless people. The name of One Piece was put on Roger, and the entire pirate world was in full bloom for a moment.
Over the years, countless pirates have gone to search for Rafdrew, wanting to be crowned as One Piece, and wanting to be truly free on this sea.
But without exception, everyone failed. In the repeated failures, the pirates even suspected the truth of the legend, and the existence of Rafdrew was once questioned.
And in this situation, the pirates gradually deviated from their own path of pursuing their dreams, became furious, bloodthirsty, and rebellious.
They began to burn, kill, plunder, and began to do everything they could, and began to attack merchant ships and civilians again and again.
The navy opposed it and took it as its mission to maintain justice at sea. In hundreds of years of fighting, the pirates became synonymous with evil.
But there are always some people who are special, who stick to their dreams and strive for them.
Even his identity as a pirate cannot hide the dazzling light on them.
There is no doubt that Roger is such a person.
With the discovery of Rafdrew and the crowning of Roger, the entire pirate world became excited. They seemed to see the original pirate's target again and seemed to have found the meaning of their existence.
In comparison, the entire navy could not calm down.
Pirates and the Navy are always opposites. Since the other side is active and excited, they must make a statement, otherwise they will shake the foundation of the Navy's existence.
Because of the pirates' momentum in recent years, I heard that the quality of newly enlisted naval cadets has declined significantly.
Among Zefa's students, the highest potential person is just a cadet with the potential of a lieutenant general. This made the entire navy's senior management worried. With this next generation, can it really fight against the increasingly growing pirates? Do they really have the power to maintain justice in the sea?
...
"How is that guy Cap's condition? Has the injury been cured yet?" said the current Marshal Sora, the Navy Headquarters.
Here are two current generals, Warring States Period, Sawafa, and Lieutenant General Tsuki, the General Staff of the Navy, as well as about ten lieutenant generals including Kizaru, Aokiji and Akainu, who are basically all the senior management of the Navy at its headquarters.
The Warring States Period whispered, "Not yet, since the battle with Roger, his injuries have been very serious. In addition, he was wandering alone on the sea at that time. It was a miracle that we could find by our navy. When he was discovered, he was dying. If he could save him, he would be life-threatening."
"Damn it!" Kong punched the table, which showed how bad he was at this moment.
"Forget it, let's not worry about that guy Cap, what do you think about Roger finding Ruff Drew and becoming One Piece?"
With Sora's eyes, some lieutenant generals subconsciously lowered their heads.
He, as the chief of staff, coughed lightly, "Marson, I think action must be taken about this matter. Since the Battle of Seven Waters three years ago, our navy's prestige has been repeatedly hit, even to the point of crisis.
For hundreds of years, we have fought with pirates at sea, protecting the great waterway and even the peace of the world. It depends on our own strength and our persistence in justice. However, we must face up to the problem of insufficient overall strength of our navy. This sea is too big, so big that it can accommodate countless pirates. Fortunately, they have never integrated their power over the years, so that they can be defeated by us and form a restraint between each other.
Now, Roger has become One Piece. With his prestige, he may be able to gather terrifying forces beyond imagination. The balance between us and the pirates will probably be broken. Therefore, I suggest that we concentrate our top forces and attack Roger!”
"Yeah!" Kong fell into deep thought after hearing this, but did not immediately express his opinion.
"I don't agree with Lieutenant General He's opinion." At this moment, a sudden voice appeared, and everyone subconsciously looked at each other, and they saw the general Warring States Period.
"Oh, you have different opinions in the Warring States Period?" Kong said softly.
He had special expectations for the Warring States Period. As Kong grew older, he urgently needed someone to stand up and take over the post of Navy Marshal.
However, according to the rules of the navy and the world government, the navy marshal must be selected among the generals. However, the generals of this generation were only Warring States Period and Zefa.
Well, if Captain wants, he can become a general at any time. But the Navy Marshal has never considered Captain.
Oh my God, if Karp was asked to lead the entire navy, God knew what would happen, but it would be a disaster to think about it.
Among the remaining Warring States Period and Zefa, Zefa was too old, and his personality was a bit extreme due to his youth, so he was not suitable to become a marshal to lead the navy.
At this time, there is only one list of options left in the Warring States Period. Kong naturally hopes that the Warring States Period will have more of its own opinions and stand up at critical moments to lead the entire navy.
"Yes, Marshal." Warring States nodded, "From the current form, our navy has not yet arrived and must make a desperate bet. The key lies in Roger."
"Huh?" Sora's eyes froze, "Speak."
Warring States Period nodded and continued, "Cap, who has been pursuing Roger for so many years, has also dealt with Roger several times. He is a thorough dreamer and wants absolute freedom.
It can be said that he rarely attacked the navy for so many years..."
"A Warring States General!" He suddenly interrupted at this time, "I must remind you that when Roger debuted, he attacked the navy and snatched Marshal Kong's main ship, the 'Phillip'."
"Of course I know!" Warring States snorted lightly, "That's why I said he rarely attacked, but he didn't have to attack."
