Chapter 141 The Voice of the Navy
He was slightly stunned, frowning:
"He has been trying his best to avoid competing with you for the right to speak, and even this time he returned to the front line, he can be said to be obedient to your orders."
Zhan Guo was speechless for a moment, sighed and said:
"How could I not know? He is also a comrade-in-arms who has been with me for many years and even saved my life several times."
"But... there can't be two voices in a navy. It's not that I am greedy for power, but the situation in the world is now extremely dangerous."
"I thought that after the structure of the Seven Warlords of the Sea and the Four Emperors was established, this sea would be stable, but now it seems that this is not the case."
"Let him retreat behind the scenes this time. Cultivating the new generation is what he is best at."
Zhan Guo's expression seemed to have aged a lot during his words.
Only those around him knew that he was already full of white hair now, and he usually dyed it black just to maintain the majesty of the Navy Admiral.
You have to know that Zhan Guo is a few years older than Zefa.
No matter how good his condition is, he still doesn't have the strong fighting power that he had in his youth to compete with Golden Lion, Whitebeard and others.
Thinking of this.
He felt a little nervous. Although he was a little dissatisfied with Sengoku's approach, he didn't say much. He turned around and asked about Gawain:
"Have you decided to agree to this deal?"
Sengoku nodded and said:
"Yes."
"That's what they meant. After all, if it weren't for Bartholomew-Bear's incident, Knight Gawain should have become the successor of the Seven Warlords of the Sea."
"Among the current Seven Warlords of the Sea, some people no longer have the power to suppress a sea area."
"But he is different. The potential he has shown is extraordinary. Even according to the information we found, Hawkeye has a different view of him."
"If these are just for reference."
"Then who can you think of with the mythical beast dragon and the qualifications of the domineering color..."
He was suddenly shocked and said:
"Hundred Beasts... Kaido?!"
"Ah, before I knew it, that brat really had the qualifications to be on par with Kaido."
Zhan Guo gritted his teeth and said:
"If I had realized the problem was so serious earlier, I should have let Sakaski kill him in the cradle."
"It's a pity that it's one step too late now."
"With its huge size and flying ability, it can not only move freely by itself, but also lead the entire team to retreat."
"Except for Borsalino, I can't find anyone in the navy who is sure to keep him, and this is based on the situation that he can't sense the danger."
"Whether we are willing to admit it or not, that guy has become a force to be reckoned with. Now we need to use the position of Shichibukai to stabilize him."
"I am even a little glad that from his previous personality, he doesn't seem like the kind of person who will take the initiative to cause conflict."
While speaking.
Zhan Guo's voice was full of fatigue.
He realized that the man in front of him was not only old, but also tired, and now he was just holding on for the overall situation.
When did it start?
Crane couldn't help but have such doubts, and the only thing that appeared in front of her was an overly young face.
Don Quixote - Rocinante.
The younger brother of Doflamingo, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and the adopted son of Sengoku.
Eight years ago, he failed in his undercover mission and was killed by Doflamingo himself.
Suddenly.
Crane finally realized that two of the three men who had fought side by side with her and led an era had lost their families.
Crane was silent for a while.
She forced herself to focus on the knight Gawain, but her eyes dimmed.
She knew that the threat shown by the knight Gawain was great, but she never thought that the situation would be so dangerous.
Mythical beasts, especially those with large bodies and the ability to fly, can basically be regarded as aerial fortresses, and in the era of naval warfare, the importance of air supremacy is self-evident.
The golden lion, which dominated an era and was almost unstoppable, is a good proof.
Even in the Battle of Metrowall, if the time was not on Roger's side, the final winner must be the golden lion.
After a few breaths.
He took a deep breath and said:
"I know."
"I will support your decision."
The voice entered Zhan Guo's ears, his back paused slightly, raised his hand to take off his glasses, pressed the wet corners of his eyes, and forced all the bitterness in his heart to swallow.
After a few breaths.
Zhan Guo opened his eyes again, and once again restored the majesty and domineering of the Navy Admiral. He slapped the table and scolded:
"The five have already made a conclusion on this matter."
"Calling you here this time is just a notification, not a discussion."
At the conference table.
Aokiji's breath was choked, he gritted his teeth, and finally said nothing, raised his hand and took off the eye mask on his head directly.
He knew that the result in front of him was the best way to deal with it under the current circumstances, but he could not accept that this was a direct order from the World Government.
The Navy, which is completely dominated by the will of the World Government, really has justice?
Kizaru saw his reaction in full view, the lens reflected the light, and no one could see his eyes clearly.
Naturally, no one knew what he was thinking.
"Anyway, Mr. Zephyr doesn't like me very much~"
"ko~wa~i~ne~"
Kizaru sighed lazily.
The people around the conference table fell into a cold silence for a while.
Some people's eyes were filled with unconcealed dissatisfaction and anger, thinking that this was rubbing the dignity of the navy on the ground.
Some people also smiled with relief.
He took in everyone's reactions, turned his head and looked at Zhan Guo, but at this moment, a low murmur came from the depths of his heart:
"Zhan Guo~"
"The navy has more than one voice."
"Even if it is your will, it cannot override Mary Joa!"
"Justice..."
"Justice is absolute!"
...
A few minutes later.
No mistakes, one post, one content, one book, one bar!
The meeting was over.
The decision of the Five Elders was gradually spread, and the order within the navy was restored.
The instructions were passed down step by step, and the naval officers who had put down their tasks and rushed back from all over the world also chose to return to their posts when they learned the news.
The news of Zephyr's fall caused a turmoil within the navy, but it was also eliminated by Marijoa's order.
...
Just two days later.
Before Gawain arrived at Raven Harbor, the news that he had become a Shichibukai had already appeared in the newspapers of the World Government.
And the person he replaced was an expected person-Gekiko Moriah.
If you want to choose a person with the most serious decline in strength among the Shichibukai, Gekiko Moriah should be the first.
This can be seen from his figure.
Although Crocodile was defeated by Whitebeard and lost his spirit, he still retained the ruthlessness that belonged to the pirates.
But looking at the whole chapter of the Horror Three-Track Sail in the original work, the most profound thing you can see from Moriah is fear.
The fear that is engraved in the bone marrow and seeps into the soul.
Obviously, Kaido shattered not only his domineering aura to the top, and his companions on the ship, but also his soul.
This point has not changed since he was deprived of the qualification of Shichibukai after the war on the top.
Only when Absalom really fell in front of him, it would be possible to exchange his former will through hatred.
Gawain sat on the deck, looking at the newspaper in his hand, lamenting the speed of the navy's actions, but a hint of sarcasm rose in his heart.
"When I tried my best to avoid direct conflict with the navy, Smoker dared to speak in front of me. Now that you let go, you let me in."
"It seems that both the World Government and the Navy are bitches who like to be forced rather than licked."
"A dog licks a dog, and you have nothing."
After that.
Gawain raised his hand and threw a few newspapers into the sea, then turned to look at Zefa who had been released by him, and said lightly:
"I will stay on this ship."
"If you want to leave, you can find a port nearby and I will drop you off."
To Gawain's surprise, Zefa shook his head and said:
"I heard from Yisheng that Raven Port is different from other places. I want to see how a port ruled by pirates will be different."
"Go and verify whether what you said is true or false."
"To be honest, I don't hate you, and I even thank you a little, but even now I don't think the navy is wrong."
Gawain was slightly stunned, and the smile on his face became deeper and deeper, even to the point where he couldn't suppress it, and finally...
"Hahahahahaha——!"
A burst of unruly and arrogant laughter rang out on the deck, which lasted for dozens of seconds before slowly stopping.
Gawain raised his hand to wipe the tears of laughter from the corners of his eyes and said:
"Then you should go and have a look."
"Go and listen to the real voice of this world."
"I am very curious now, what will be your reaction if you know the truest side of this world?"
"What kind of turmoil will it cause within the navy?"
...
At the same time.
The Grand Route.
The Devil's Triangle.
Mogami Moriah looked at the newspaper he had just received, his eyes fell on the front page headline, and his knuckles were white.
A brand new bounty order arrived with the newspaper.
Mogami Moriah, the former Shichibukai, has a bounty of 320 million Baileys.
The unchanged bounty is tantamount to an insult to the Shichibukai. After all, if he was at his peak, the bounty would probably have to be added with a ten.
But now the attitude of the World Government has written contempt on its face.
Gekko Moriah got angrier and angrier, his voice was a little hoarse:
"My title was taken by a newcomer?!"
"Damn World Government!"
Several subordinates surrounded Gekko Moriah, all of them looking as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
"What should the captain do now?"
Hogubako's face was filled with undisguised fear:
"Once we lose the title of Shichibukai, we will inevitably face the encirclement and suppression of the navy. The man called Bixie made a big fuss on the ship before, and the zombies lost have not recovered yet."
