Chapter 25 The Angry General

"Where did they go!"

The meeting room of the Marshal's Mansion suddenly shook, and the furious roar of Admiral Sengoku of the Navy Headquarters startled the several navy officers on duty outside the door.

"Such an important military meeting!!"

"Where is Sakaski!? I haven't settled accounts with him about the New World Badar Kingdom!!"

"Where is Borsalino? How many affairs are left to be dealt with in the Navy Science Department that is about to be established?"

"And what about those two bastards Drago and Garp!? They haven't explained the specific details of this action to attack Roger's pirate group!"

In the meeting room, Sengoku's face was extremely livid, and he slammed his fist heavily on the meeting table, staring angrily at the administrative staff who were responsible for convening the meeting members.

Marshal Kong of Steel Bone went to the Holy Land of Marijoa to report to the Five Elders, and handed this military meeting to him to preside over, which was also to let him adapt to the authority and responsibilities of the Navy Marshal in advance.

This was a military meeting to prove to Marshal Kong that he was capable enough to be the Navy Marshal.

It was also an opportunity to send political signals to many middle and high-level generals of the headquarters.

But this was the first time that Zhan Guo held such an important military meeting. In addition to Zefa, an old man who had retired to the second line, the only person present was him, the host of the meeting! ?

Once this got out, how would other people in the Navy Headquarters view him, the Navy Admiral and the future Navy Marshal! ?

‘The future Navy Marshal held the highest military meeting for the first time, and the senior leaders of the headquarters were collectively absent! ? ’

What kind of reason is this!

Does he still want to save face for Zhan Guo?

How can he lead and command the work of the Navy Headquarters in the future! ?

“Did you notify them of the specific time and place of the meeting?”

Zhan Guo stared at the administrative staff fiercely.

He still had a glimmer of luck in his heart.

Well, they probably didn’t receive the notice, so they didn’t attend the meeting.

No matter what, he is a Navy Admiral, and this time he is presiding over the military meeting on behalf of Marshal Kong.

No matter how noisy they are at ordinary times, they have to give him face on such occasions.

It should be, that’s right.

It must be like this... right.

Several administrative staff members looked at General Zhan Guo, who was panting and had red eyes, and were so frightened that they were silent and dared not breathe.

They looked at each other, and finally a lieutenant colonel officer stammered:

"That... General Zhan Guo, the meeting notice has actually been sent out in advance, and it has been confirmed that the participants have received the notice."

Zefa's eyes trembled, and he turned his face away, trying not to laugh out loud.

Zhan Guo's face became darker.

So, those bastards... did it on purpose! ?

A series of hideous blue veins bulged on his forehead, and two lines of white smoke spewed out of his nostrils, and his back teeth made a crackling sound.

"Find them for me! Where are they!?"

Zhan Guo gritted his teeth and spoke from between his teeth.

"Immediately! Right away!!"

Several administrative staff members were shocked and rushed out of the meeting room as if they were escaping.

Zefa looked at Zhan Guo, who was so angry that his head was smoking, and couldn't help laughing:

"This is not like you, Zhan Guo... It's just a meeting, it shouldn't be that serious..."

"Look, although others didn't come, at least I came."

Zhan Guo sat down on the main seat and rolled his eyes unhappily.

"What's the point of you, an old bastard who doesn't care about anything, coming? It's as if you can help me share some responsibilities..."

He thought about it and complained.

"Zefa, the headquarters is getting more and more short-staffed now, and you also know that Marshal Kong is about to hand over the important task to me... To be honest, I don't have much confidence."

Facing the partner who was once enough to entrust life and death, Zhan Guo said these words very frankly, without any concealment.

"I need my former comrades to stand by my side..."

He looked at Zefa solemnly and sincerely, his eyes burning.

"Think about it, how long have we not fought side by side?"

Hearing the words of his old comrade, Zefa's eyes flashed with emotion and nostalgia, but were soon replaced by a hint of disappointment and indifference.

He said calmly:

"Don't we have Garp? And the new generation of Sakaski, Dragon, Borsalino and others have also grown up."

Warring States sighed silently in his heart and shook his head:

"But this era doesn't give us much time."

"Although the Battle of God Valley has long ended and has become history, the shadow of Rocks has not dissipated."

"Roger, Whitebeard, Golden Lion... and Kaido and Charlotte Linlin who are rising rapidly with terrifying momentum..."

"You also know the character of that bastard Garp. The orders of his superiors are like wind in his ears. Even old man Kong can't control him, let alone me."

"As for Sakaski and the others... Although their talents are indeed as powerful as their nicknames, like "monsters", they are still a long way from the top combat power of this sea."

"It will take some time for them to be able to truly stand on their own."

"This incident in the Bada Kingdom is the best proof. If you were here, you would never have caused such a big thing... In the final analysis, the problem lies in the fact that the high-end combat power currently available to our naval headquarters is not enough. ”

Zefa fell silent.

"They'll grow out of it."

After a moment, he slowly raised his head and looked at Warring States.

An overly calm smile appeared on his face.

"As for me, I'm just a loser who can't even protect my family."

"Right now I'm just a grumpy instructor in my headquarters, nothing more... Sengoku, I'd better leave such an important responsibility as admiral to others."

Warring States looked at the smile on Zefa's face, and felt an unspeakable bitterness in his heart.

That smile is a smile that is obviously disappointing, but still silently persists because of the responsibilities on the shoulders.

He knew that there was no way he could convince Zefa.

"alright, I got it."

Zefa smiled and comforted:

"Don't worry, it won't be long before our navy will have a lot more general-level combat capabilities."

"Sakaski, Porusalino, Dolag... and I heard that there are a few very good prospects in this officer training camp?"

Warring States put aside the annoyance in his heart, nodded and said with a smile:

"That's right, you both know Gion and Kake. They have grown a lot since joining the Hokkai group. With a little guidance, they will definitely become the mainstay of our navy."

"In addition to the two of them, among the freshmen of this class of officer training camp, there are two young people who are comparable to Sakaski and the other three."

"One of them is called Kuzan. He was born in the South China Sea and has a monster-like talent. What is even more worth mentioning is that his belief in justice is as firm as a blazing fire."

"Oh?" Zefa finally became interested and couldn't help but his eyes lit up.
